    The Truth So Help Me Good - Season 3 - Episode 38 - Special Guest Jake Landry

    Hello Co-journeyers! Welcome to Season 3 of The Truth So Help Me Good! As we enter this New Year, and for reasons that require no explanation, it is incumbent upon us to take our exploration of the bigger questions about this journey we call life to a new level. Why? Because our hearts and minds demand it. As human beings, our longing for meaning and purpose are at the core of our very existence. Please join me together with my special guest, Jake Landry, and get into the weeds (light brush) about memoir in its most expansive form. Jake is an educator, anthropologist by education, and Executive Producer of The Truth So Help Me Good podcast. He is also my son. This is a conversation you will not want to miss, including questions about meaning, literacy, philosophy, and what is memoir anyway? You may even find yourself smiling, just like Sisyphus. Thank you for listening. Take care and be well!

Each story offers a window into the complex interplay between the brain, heart, and soul – a connection that defines both the practice of medicine and the human experience.
