Another week, another adventure. Today's episode focuses on John and Mark's trip to Washington, DC to meet with Congress. There were so many exciting happenings and so much good work that John did that we can't begin to get into it in the show notes. Take a listen to Mark and the Chief Happiness Officer, John, as they have a nice father-son conversation about the week. One thing's for sure, we GUARANTEE a smile or two during this episode.

Mark calls John a cranky old man and we lose control from there on the newest episode of The Spreading Happiness Podcast! The boys are back with some great stories ranging from their talks at Special Education PTAs (SEPTA) all the way through Mark and his wife (John's mom) wanting grandkids. It may be season 2 but one thing has definitely not changed...your smile throughout listening to this show. Enjoy, folks!
