MARTIN: Hi everybody, this is Martin Pytela for Life Enthusiast podcast, and today I have decided to again invite
Scott Patton, my long-term collaborator to do one of our annual: “Let’s review the year that’s been, and
let’s look forward into the year that is coming our way.” Scott Patton, my good friend. Welcome!
SCOTT: Thank you, Martin. Happy to be here again! This is Life-Enthusiast Co-op, restoring vitality to you and the
planet.
MARTIN: Scott has got this wonderful radio voice that I do not possess.
SCOTT:. Thank you. I don’t think I do when I listen to myself, but I appreciate that. So yeah, we’ve been doing this sort of thing for 15 years.
MARTIN: At least. Yeah.
SCOTT: At least. Yeah.
MARTIN: We were really young guys when we started.
SCOTT: Oh my goodness, yeah.
MARTIN: I was just thinking back, my 70th birthday just went by a couple of weeks ago. And I’m thinking, oh my!
I’m clearly running out of excuses. Whatever I have not done, I might not finish in my lifetime.
SCOTT: That’s uh, yeah. My mom’s 90th birthday is coming up, and I remember on her 80th birthday, I

SCOTT: I was going to say it’s been quite a year, Martin. And I want to do a testimonial because I’ve been thinking
about this a little bit, and one of the reasons why I want to do it is because I have a friend who has
diabetes. And for the last two years he’s had blotches on his legs and he just recently, he was going to
hyperbaric I think, an oxygen therapy thing, that really helped him. And it got him to the point where he
could actually have an operation. He’s had a hole in his foot for two or three years. And of course, I
didn’t know this until he had his operation and he was healing. Right? And yeah, so it was like, for two
years I’ve been trying to heal this hole on my foot. And then they had an operation, I think they removed
a toe.
SCOTT: And I mean, so it was pretty serious stuff going on with him in, in terms of healing. And I, so
there, that was one conversation. And then the other part of this is what happened to me this year,
which I was bitten by a black widow spider in my back. And it was kind of like, oh, what’s that? And I
reached back and I pull this thing and I look at it and it’s like a bunch of really mean looking spider legs
and then a black body. And I, the way I held it, the legs fell off . So as I’m like looking at it this
