We are shedding some light on musician and host of the highly-acclaimed show Home From Here, John Burton. Not just that, but John is the creator of The Lifted Project, a documentary being shot in the Hudson Valley that is connecting the arts with local organizations, and "lifting" groups such as Hudson River Housing, Berkshire Farm Center & Services for Youth, Hudson Valley Animal Rescue, and Kidney4Clark. John and I talk about the song "We Won't Be Broken," which is at the center of the documentary, and how it has been a transformative time for him and all the individuals involved. We also discuss how John has used Home From Here to be a platform for both music and mental health.
