John and Mark recorded a special episode to wish you a Happy New Year. You can hear their banter, the funny stories they tell, the jokes they share and the love between a father and son that will make you feel so good. They look back on 2024 and share stories from some of their favorite moments, like John becoming an uncle and Mark a grandfather. They talk about passing $800,000 in donations. John talks about some of his favorite trips from the year – he added a new state, Oklahoma – and their many speaking engagements. They share how their advocacy including two trips to Capitol Hill has paid off in the elimination of the sub-minimum wage. Plus they share some of what they look forward to seeing.
