A Conversation with TJ & Joel, Part 3

In this episode, we put a bow on an extraordinary three-part series looking back at TJ Sullivan and Joel Goldman's legendary program, Friendship in the Age of AIDS. In this episode, Dr. MAC and Scott lead a discussion filled with laughs, tears, and countless lessons on life, leadership, and legacy. Part 3 of our convo with TJ and Joel covers everything from a late night in Savannah, GA to a profound experience in Laramie, Wyoming. It's incredibly rare when the sequel holds up against the original. It's even more rare when the sequel to the sequel does so. Yet, that's where we find ourselves in this conclusion to one of the most impactful conversations we've shared to date. Tap play, enjoy, then share away.
