Thanks for sharing your lives and careers with us. I learned some interesting things today. Dr Oz probably gave me some very important advice. I do go to the Dr annually because of prostate issues but never think about my heart because it has never been an issue for me. Although my Mom suffers from heart disease. She has a defibrillator in her chest. I should take this more serious and in the future. So thank you and keep up the great work.
Love the podcast. Great job.
Great podcast
wasn't sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised what a fantastic podcast
