Summary

In this episode, we delve into the extraordinary life and influence of Fr. Robert Spitzer, S.J., a figure described as the son of wealth and privilege and a prodigy who embraced poverty and became an intellectual and spiritual beacon. His life is marked by his scholarly achievements despite his blindness and transformative impact at institutions like Seattle University and Gonzaga. We explore the lasting impression he left on his students, particularly through the eyes of one former student who went on to fight significant battles against the pharmaceutical industry and the U.S. Government. This conversation touches on the vital importance of mentorship, the pursuit of transcendental values, and the nobility of education.
