Episode #55: Reclaiming Hope

If someone asked you to describe "hope," what would you say? More importantly, do you have it? In a disturbing poll by APM Research Lab earlier this year, one in four Americans explicitly said, "nothing made them hopeful." Fear and worry are damaging lives each day. In this episode, the MTI team breaks down what hope is and how you can reclaim it.
