Hey everybody, this is John Corcoran with Dr. Jeremy Weisz. And this episode is a little bit different.

Jeremy Weisz 1:14
Yeah, I mean, John, after both of us have been podcasting for over a decade, the number one thing in our life is relationships. And we’re always looking at ways to give to our best relationships. And we found no better way to do that over the past decade than to profile the people in companies we admire and shout from the rooftops what they’re working on. And this interview is no different.
