What Chronic Pain Teaches You Over Time

In this episode, Bill Leighty shares something he rarely talks about — five decades of living with degenerative disc disease, COPD, arthritis, and the other quiet companions of a life lived hard and well.

The Editorial Team at The Encore Project presents this as one of the most honest conversations we’ve brought you — and one of the most useful.
