In this special crossover episode, Mark welcomes longtime friend and psychiatrist Dr. Joe Shrand to discuss the power of self-awareness and the "I-M Approach"—a framework for understanding human behavior without shame or blame. The two explore what it means to share your voice, the long arc of legacy, and the lessons of 19th-century physician Ignaz Semmelweis, whose work saving lives was tragically dismissed. From creativity to conflict, social media to AI, Dr. Joe and Mark take listeners on a wide-ranging conversation grounded in kindness, curiosity, and connection.
