Episodes will include conversations with people from all walks-of-life who share how their struggles and disruptive moments (both big and small) become pivot points in their lives. While each person's journey will be unique, the one common thread is that their triumphs will inspire you to seek your own CATALYST EFFECT. Let's do this!
