Thank you, Kolbe Times, for this live interview with Dr. Wicks! There was so much life wisdom here, especially now with C-19, that I know I will be watching this interview at least one more time! It was just what I needed to hear!
Thanks Bill for doing another great interview, so much to reflect on. My “take away” – scheduling down, look at how much good we want to accomplish but only trimming it down makes this possible.
