The Good In Today

This is "The Good In Today" podcast! My name is Danny Hoefelmann. No matter how bad a person's day is, I believe there is always some good in it. This is my place to highlight positive stories happening in the world today and to talk about taboo conversations that I wish more people were willing to open up about. As someone who has struggled with mental health for most of his life, this is the next step in my journey to help better understand how to overcome my struggles. I'm bringing you guests who can give their expertise and use their own stories to help other people through the process.
