The Juice with Jeff’s Podcast

On this episode of the podcast, Lara Liss conducts and co-produces a fantastic, superb, and outstanding interview with me thru Zoom. This is Lara's first time on the podcast.

After Lara and I make our introductions, here are the questions that Lara asks me on this episode of the podcast:

1. Given that it's your 50th birthday year and you're working toward having at least 50 new episodes produced/recorded of your podcast at the minimum this year, as you reflect on your life to this point; have you changed your approach to life at all? Is there anything in terms of lessons learned as you look as what's to come in the next 50 years hopefully?

2. Lara starts off her next question by mentioning how she loves that I have come up with doing these The Juice with Jeff podcasts and refers to it as a "Passion Project", especially with the special goal of having a bare minimum of at least 50 new episodes produced and recorded of the show during this year in conjunction with my upcoming 50th birthday. Do you have advice for others or thoughts to share on how you came across your passion project and what led you to discover that this is something you want to invest your time and thoughts into?

3. About your work in sleep medicine and the subject of sleep, do you have any thoughts on this topic you want to share with your audience?

4. On the subject of the healthcare industry, do you think that healthcare is improving in that data is helping us learn more about people's health or do you think there is an overwhelming amount of data that's coming thru?

5. What are your thoughts on AI or other technologies, whether in the healthcare space or in society overall?

6. What is your earliest memory of computers and related technology use during our elementary/jr. high/high school days?

7. Have you seen technology have an impact in your life, and is it for good, challenges, or both? What would you highlight from the increased presence of technology in our lifetime?

8. Do you have any interaction with technology where you've gone back to the older forms and other types of old school technology?

9. What are your top favorite movies/films?

10. What is your favorite song from our VHS era/the early to mid 1990's?

11. What is your go-to "Catchphrase(s)"?

12. Do you have a favorite or go-to recipe that you'd like to share?

13. Who were your favorite teachers from our Crossroads Park Elementary, Indian Hills Jr. High, and Valley High School days?

14. If you would have a postcard of VHS with a pic that represented Valley High to you, what image would you put on that postcard?

15. Do you prefer cats or dogs?

16. What can you share about the history of VHS that the podcast audience would be interested in hearing?

There is quite a lot of two way conversation during the interview and Lara shares her thoughts on most of the questions she asked me.
