All right. Welcome, everyone. John Corcoran here. I’m the host of this show. We have a special treat for this episode. Now, if I was saying that to my six year old, that would mean we’re having cookies. Unfortunately, no cookies today? Yes, absolutely. But we do have my good friend and business partner, Dr. Jeremy Weisz. We are flipping the script and he is going to be interviewing me. But let me say a word or two about Jeremy. For those of you who don’t know him, hopefully you’ve checked out his podcast Inspired Insider. He is an amazing interviewer. I really can’t set the bar high enough for how incredible what you’re about to listen to is going to be. I mean, if Terry Press and Larry King, and the Energizer Bunny had a baby, it would be Jeremy Weisz. He is the world’s best at this. So if your expectations aren’t high enough, I want you to elevate them even higher. Because you are in for a treat. Jeremy, I’m going to turn it over to you. And please shed some light on all of us.
