About this episode
The Mind Pump Media foursome of Sal DiStefano, Adam Schafer, Justin Andrews and Doug Egge was the first of the big podcasters to invite Paul for a podcast interview, way back in Spring 2017 . Nearly two years later, it’s Paul’s chance to turn the tables on this “mature pack of wolves” as he launches his Living 4D With Paul Chek podcast, using his 4 Doctors principles to reveal some personal challenges the Mind Pump Media crew faced along the way to success.
