One of my all-time favorite books is "Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah". A quote I've shared several times: "The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof."

John, where did you and your crew find the big magic top hat to keep pulling out winners of people to interview? I know it is never never land! My favorite part is “I’m a late Bloomer I’m just beginning to get started regardless of what age I am”.

I truly believe Rich’s - “Attributes can be Developed” as he said.

Thanks for sharing what little Lottie embraced in your life about your awesome hands and what they represent to you now! ❤

John y’all really hit this interview out of the park for me. I have 2 full pages of notes from the two of you sharing during this interview. I particularly liked the phrase “comforting others I may find that what I say might help them.” This is what I found to be true at the UoU 2024 burn camp NaNa Mah. Thanks again for taking with Marcus Engel Bill A

I can’t help but tear up how he forgot what to do and he helplessly walked through his house just hoping for help and how his parents weren’t there to help him.

Yes, I have ugly feet!😂

John thank you and your team for bringing us Dr. Philip Fidler story of how he transformed into such a wonderful and caring burn doctor.
