Dr. Bokhari has been quickly climbing the ranks in Major League Baseball over the past seven years. He is currently the Assistant General Manager of the Chicago Cubs.  

Before starting that journey he earned three graduate degrees from UIUC, including his Masters and Ph.D. from right here at Sixth & Daniel. 

We talk about the decision to start a career in athletics, scratch the surface of advanced metrics in baseball, and of course...pizza.

I could've continued talking for hours with my new friend Natalie, and boy, did we cover a lot of ground in this episode! 

Dr. Halliger is a very respected member in her field, so we, of course, talk about her journey to the tech start-up world, the process of choosing secondary education, and her experiences teaching at Loyola.

To get there...we touched on jewelry making, comic book creation, sensory motorcycle rides, the "importance" of grades, the behavioral studies of litter, and quite possibly my new favorite cocktail.

Here we go! Welcome to Sixth & Daniel! I am honored to have Dr. Patricia Deldin join me as the first ever guest on the program.

Dr. Deldin is currently a professor at the University of Michigan in the Departments of Psychology and Psychiatry. She is also the Founder and CEO of "Mood Lifters." www.moodlifters.com

I uncover that Patricia is a first generation college grad, avid reader, former track star, and maybe currently dreaming of a burrito as big as her head.

In this episode, we primarily focus on Dr. Deldin's career path, advice for current students, and how she came to start her own company.
