Episode #84 Bound By Service With Warren Henrie
So often we are paralyzed thinking we don't know the best way to help someone, so we do nothing.

They are simple things like writing a note or offering a sincere compliment. Warren is even volunteering at a preschool while he's recovering! There is no act of kindness too small to matter
