Years ago a family friend asked Scott Stabile what he wanted to do with his life. Scott told him he wanted to spread as much love as possible. Today, his answer's still the same. We know life isn't always a party. It's often hard, sometimes brutal. Scott's parents were shot to death when he was fourteen. His brother OD'd on heroin nine years later. He grew up around a lot of addiction, dysfunction, and tragedy. And with too much shame over the fact that he was gay. He hid his pain, and he hid his truth. Not anymore. Author of the book, "Big Love", Scott believes love is the foundation for creating the best life and living out your purpose. Love can be found in our choices that will positively affect not only our own lives but also those who may be less fortunate than ourselves.

Today's guest was voted one of the top 8 most inspirational people in history. At 13, he was diagnosed with cancer and was given only 14 days to live - which he did.

And while that's remarkable in itself, it's what he chose to do with the rest of his life that's so inspirational.
