    Hi Victor, I want to thank you for starting this podcast. I was recommend this episode by someone I follow on Twitter and I began listening to others on Spotify. I am in my late twenties. I am currently pretty lost in life, unsure of which way to go. This is isolating and disheartening. I am lucky to be a relatively optimistic person so I can still look at my life with hope. The episodes I've listened to have also helped me keep perspective of my own life's journey. Keep doing what you're doing:) Thanks again!

I finished listening to the episode featuring Lawrence Dunning and I appreciate the motivation and different perspectives he brought. Your aim with this podcast seems to be not just having the same viewpoints brought in each episode. I think that’s what makes a genuine podcast. The point isn’t to agree with everything someone else says. We cant live our lives in an echo chamber.

      Hi, I’m taking the EMT class now and bound to graduate next week. I turn on the suction prior to putting the catheter in the mouth. Just do not “apply” suction until you’re pulling the nozzle out of the mouth. This is done by covering the hole on the handle to apply suction.
