Outstanding food and great company at the wonderful @jibekjolu_restaurant in Glenview! 😁
In this episode of the “My Wakeup Call with Dr. Mark Goulston” podcast, Harry shares his “wake up call” was being told by his childhood Catholic priest to not become a priest and instead to go out and influence the world who need it most and don’t worship a religion. Link in bio.
I want to take a quiet moment to wish all of you and your families, friends, and loved ones a happy, safe, and blessed Thanksgiving.
