Hey, everybody. This is part two of a three-part interview with Dr. John Duffy. If you haven't listened to

0:06.6

part one, go back to an earlier podcast so you can listen to that one and hopefully enjoy it.

0:13.8

They don't know it. You know, John, like I, so I want to go back to the feeling, you know,

0:20.1

feeling aliveness. And that is about yourself, about I, so I want to go back to the feeling, you know, feeling aliveness.

0:21.6

And that is about yourself, about hope, all these things that you say that boys right now,
