Do you feel like life is one insurmountable challenge? Do you think; "I don't know what I'm supposed to do" or "I'm not going to get through this" or "Nobody else could ever relate"? Do you ever wonder how other people cope and get through life's challenges? Then Frankly Kev has the show for you, "Everyday Heroes". I interview guests who've endured one or more of life's many challenges or moved mountains to get something done. We talk about what happened, how they made it through to the other side and not only survived but even thrived. Informative. Entertaining. Inspiring.
