On this episode, Bryan Hall conducts and co-produces a fantastic, superb, and conversational interview with me In Person for Episode #316 of the podcast. This is Bryan's debut/first time on the show and we recorded this episode at his office.

After our introductions and comments I made on how the podcast is coming along this year, Bryan asked me the following questions:

1. What does the podcast mean to you, and what hole does it fill in your life?

2. You and I both share an "idol" with Fred Rogers o.b.m. Talk about what Mister Rogers would be doing and saying if he were alive today in terms of the negativity that is going on in this world and how he would try to help people thru this particular period in history?

Bryan shared a thought or two about Mister Rogers during this question and the importance of kindness and I shared how I'm super passionate about Mister Rogers' Neighborhood and also the 2019 A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood movie.

3. What is your perspective on mental health?

4. What stress like for you? How do you know when you're getting stressed and you need to spend extra time listening to music or watching your DVD/Blu-Ray collection?

5. What are some artists/bands/album you love listening to when you want a quick pick me up that makes you feel better after a stressful day? I go into detail with the types of music I love.

6. And for the rest of the podcast, Bryan asks me to pick a few numbers between 1 and 200 from a book called The Book of Questions by Dr. Gregory Stock and he asks me the questions corresponding to the numbers I chose.
