I so grateful for “My Unsung Hero”. I looked forward to each inspiring episode… I was preparing to submit my own story regarding a hero who helped my late grandfather over 100 years ago.
I’m deeply saddened to learn the series is ending.
The best part about this podcast is how I feel after listening to an episode. Do I have an unsung hero in my life? Have I ever been an unsung hero for someone else? How will I make a difference with the next opportunity that comes along?
These are such beautiful and speaks toward thinking positively. Thank you
