The Mind Pump Media foursome of Sal DiStefano, Adam Schafer, Justin Andrews and Doug Egge was the first of the big podcasters to invite Paul for a podcast interview, way back in Spring 2017.

Nearly two years later, it’s Paul’s chance to turn the tables on this “mature pack of wolves” as he launches his Living 4D With Paul Chek podcast, using his 4 Doctors principles to reveal some personal challenges the Mind Pump Media crew faced along the way to success.
