New Year, New Me

New year's Resolutions! We all have them. Thing is though, we all have a hard time figuring out how we are going to take the next step to accomplish our goals. I struggle with the same problem, but I hope that this episode helps. Join us as we interview Kate McLellan, David Porter, and Josh Sanchez, three members of the BYU - Hawaii community who will discuss what things helped them get to where they are now. This episode was enlightening, and each person touches on something that everyone should listen to if they want to fulfill their New Year's Resolution.
