In The Western Mass. Business Show
Mike Tourville of MT Media Network knows people. His calling in life has been to tell stories, making connections between those that have a story and those that need to hear it.

Mike believes that if he can reach enough people with his outreach then lives will be saved and I believe he’s right. His second book Voices From The Fallen recognizes the struggle and the hope in addiction. Join us as we talk about what makes Mike continue this work and how impactful honesty and grace can be on our society.
