045 — In Service of Others with Dr. Richard Shuster
Dr. Fred is joined on today’s episode by fellow podcaster, Dr. Richard Shuster, Psy.D., M.S.W, host of The Daily Helping. Dr. Shuster is a clinical psychologist who has dedicated his life to helping people become the best version of themselves, even if it’s of no direct benefit to him.
