No Better Friend – Fighting for Others in the Battle for Freedom – with Kevin Nicholson [Ep. 38]
“No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy” is a phrase often attributed to the United States Marine Corps.

Kevin Nicholson is a battle-tested Marine, business leader, and volunteer President & CEO of No Better Friend Corp. He chronicles his journey from a leader in the Democrat Party to someone who once ran for office as a Republican, and to one who now gives generously of his time and resources to empower and prosper others through a conservative organization he founded to promote America and our Constitutional values and principles. He shares with Linda his hopes for our country, and we are reminded once again that ideas have consequences, elections matter, and freedom is a precious gift we must protect.
