In this episode with Gavin McCormack, we dive into one of the most moving stories you’ll hear. It’s a story about danger, hope, heartbreak and humanity and what happens when you decide you can’t unsee something and choose to act.
From a treacherous journey into remote Nepal to rebuilding a forgotten school for orphaned children, Gavin shares the moments that broke him open and reminded him what truly matters.
This story is incredible. It had me with a tear in my eye on more than one occasion.
