On this episode of Walt Right Perspectives I am joined once more by Daniella Pentsak, who writes here on Substack at Freedom Verse. This is her third appearance on the show, which is now a WRP record!
Unfortunately I accidentally took twice the intended dose of Adderall before the call, so I spent most of it monologuing at poor Daniella like a cult leader. If this makes you feel bad for her you should definitely go to her page and subscribe!
