Hey there, and welcome to the Thinking Fellows podcast. My name is Caleb, and I'm joined by our regular

hosts today, Drs Scott Keith, Adam Francisco, and Rod Rosenblot. The Think Fellows podcast is a show

about great conversations. It's a production of the 1517 podcast network. And what we're doing today
