Welcome to Insights at the Edge, produced by Sounds True.

My name's Tammy Simon. I'm the founder of Sounds True, and I'd love to take a moment to introduce you to the new Sounds True Foundation.

The Sounds True Foundation is dedicated to creating a wiser and kinder world by making transformational education widely available.

We want everyone to have access to transformational tools, such as mindfulness,

emotional awareness, and self-compassion, regardless of financial, social, or physical challenges.

The Sounds True Foundation is a nonprofit dedicated to providing these transformational tools

to communities in need, including at-risk youth, prisoners, veterans, and those in developing countries. If you'd like to learn

more or feel inspired to become a supporter, please visit Soundstruefoundation.org.

You're listening to Insights at the Edge. Today, my guest is Dr. Paul Conti. Dr. Conti is a graduate of

Stanford University School of Medicine. He completed his psychiatry training at Stanford and at

Harvard, where he was appointed chief resident and then served on the medical faculty at Harvard

before moving to Portland, Oregon

and founding Pacific Premier Group,

which has an office in both Portland and New York City.

Dr. Conti serves patients and clients

throughout the United States and internationally, and which sounds true,

and collectively.
