Mindset Body BankInterview with Graeme BonarThis episode of MindsetBody Bank I am reunited with my old friend Bones after almost 20 years we sit down and catch up over lunch about life, hockey, kids, grandkids and special gifts.
Bones was kind enough to open up about addiction to drugs and alcohol and share his story about recovery. I was so grateful to have this opportunity to give my old friend a hug and see a new passion in his eyes that couldn't be further from when he had a hockey stick in his hands 30 years ago expected to be an NHL prodigy.
