0:00.0	Hey, disurven listeners. So a friend of mine died recently. His name was or is Jerry Saltsman.
0:10.0	And I wanted to share with you an interview that I recorded with him a number of years ago.
0:17.3	But before that, I just want to talk about the circumstances. So he died a week ago. So I'm
0:26.2	recording this in late October. So he died in late October of 2023. He was in his mid 80s. I think
0:34.8	he was 85. He was a really good friend of mine. He was a therapist and a professor like me.
0:42.4	We worked together for many, many years very closely. He was hit by a car while he was crossing
0:49.9	the street in Bellingham, Washington, which is north of Seattle. And I only know what people
0:59.8	have told me who are close to him. And the information isn't very detailed because of the circumstances.
1:07.2	But I just thought I would share a little bit of that. I don't know why. I need to talk about it,
1:13.1	but I think I just have to. So just a little background is that he retired from

1:42.6	they decided to all move up there together. My mentor, Paul David and his wife Victoria and another
1:50.6	couple that they're friends with. These are all people that I'm pretty close to. I've had Paul
1:57.3	on the podcast before. I've had Joe Shobb on the podcast. Anyway, I could go down that whole rabbit
2:03.2	hole. But a little bit on Paul, David is that he is by far, you know, I've talked about Phil
2:11.2	Cushman being a mentor of mine. But Paul David was the most important person in my career. He
2:18.2	really single-handedly shaped my early career and made me who I am today. So anyway, it was
2:26.4	those three couples move up to this lake and they were living up there and enjoying their time
2:33.2	being close to each other and being away from the city. But apparently Jerry missed his kids and
2:39.6	his grandkids. So they moved back down to Seattle and they moved downtown. Actually, they move
