I meet the doctor in the 90's. I'm no Saint but I try to be kind to the people I meet in the world. Thank you for being an inspiration to those like myself who try to make a small but important difference in the world. Peace and Love, Thomas Michael Olevano.

Apple Podcasts2Herr LarsaUnited States4 years ago - Inspiring and psychologically interesting
So many pods are about the psychology of murderers and it’s so refreshing to listen to a series about the psychology of an extreme peace worker. Patch and his son are hilarious, smart and surprising.

Also, he’s an outlier weirdo, which is great and inspires my own inner weirdo to shine.
