Hi everybody. Welcome to We Can Do Hard Things. Today is maybe the most important episode we've ever done. Before we get started with Dr. Thayer Ahma, who is a Palestinian-American,

I want to let you know two things. First of all, every penny that this episode makes will go to

the Palestinian American Medical Association. It's the 501c3 tax-exempt

nonprofit organization that provides Dr. Ahmad and his brave colleagues the supplies

they need to keep healing and saving Palestinian lives. I also want you to know that if

you have Pod Squad, if you have any dollars to spare, after you listen to this episode or now,

please give directly to this lifesaving fund, all of which will go to the doctors, the healers

on the ground, who have been working so bravely and so tirelessly to heal their people.

Give directly at the link in the show notes or the link in

my bio. It's called link in bio, I guess, on Instagram. Okay, so you go to Instagram. There's a thing

called link in bio. The link will be there to give. Every penny that goes into there from you

will go to the Palestinian American Medical Association.

Also, more than what you give will go because I, in addition to all the profit from this episode going,

I am personally going to be matching every single dollar that you give up to $100,000.

We are going to get these heroes, the supplies that they need to continue

their life's work, which is to save Palestinian lives. They do not have the support nor the supplies

that they desperately need. Please, please let us be the ones who say with our voices and our money,

we see you. You are not alone. We will share with you what we have so you can continue to

heal your people because you are our people. We belong to each other. I love you all so much.

Secondly, the way that this episode came about is this. One of the ways that I am

staying sane and awake during this extremely difficult time in this country is by attending

protests, by going out in the world
