Thanks Pat and Dr. Tim for this insightful discussion! I mean Pat you’ve really explored topics that pass by my mind from time to time but I simply didn’t think I would be able to actually dwell and think about it more. This definitely gave me the opportunity to open my mind and see things in a better perspective. Pat, just curious, how do you choose your guests for your podcast! I mean you’ve brought in really great people, I was just curious on how you’re able to get everyone in. And how do you decide on the topics you choose to discuss? 🙂
