What if you could find strength in the darkest of life's moments? Meet David S Peterson, an author whose bumpy road to success has been paved with resilience and positivity. His incredible journey, from overcoming school bullying and a brutal physical attack to harnessing the power of theater and choir, will leave you awestruck. This episode is a testament to David's indomitable spirit, his zest for life and his infectious positivity that radiates even when the going gets tough. And the excitement of National Underwear Day cannot be ignored. 

David's not just about resilience, though. He's a man on a mission, an advocate for vegetarianism, environmentalism, and mental health. The Heath Barrington Mysteries and the Mason Adler Mysteries, his two mystery series set in the 1940s, are more than just page-turners, they are educational tools aimed at inspiring, enlightening, and making an impact on its readers.

But it's not all serious! Prepare to chuckle as we celebrate National Underwear Day with David. His ability to rebound from the most difficult situations includes a good amount of silliness. His appreciation for what life has to offer manifests itself in his love of laughter.  Get ready to be inspired and motivated as you listen to David S Peterson's story - a beautiful illustration of triumph over adversity.
