Welcome to episode number 18 of starTEDover, the final episode of season one. My idea from the beginning was to produce 18  18-minute interviews that would inspire listeners and even save lives. Though my guest today was one of my first interviews, I wanted to save publication for the season’s finale because, frankly, my guest Ryan Geist could have used a story like his when he was experiencing his darkest days of addiction and psychosis.
