Summary
If you've ever thought ANYTHING was impossible, or the challenge was too great, then do we have the Sometimes Brilliant Show for You.
Today I'll be talking with Larry Brilliant, pioneering physician, global philanthropist, and one of the key players in the eradication of smallpox, which has saved millions, of not a billion lives to come. He's also the best-selling author of a brilliant new book, and a MUST read about faith or courage, Sometimes Brilliant.
And that's just what we'll be talking about today, about the impossible adventure of a spiritual seeker and visionary physician who helped conquer the worst disease in history.
That plus we'll talk about the importance of juke boxes, Wavy Gravy and the Hog Farm Bus, the power of a pomegranate Ben Spock, Martin Luther King, Ram Das, time off for bad behavior, what in the world 420 and the Bhagavad-Gita Gita have to do with anything, who's the world's tallest white monkey, eating car tires, and what Grandma Ida and Electric punch have to do with anything.
