***Part 2 is up on the Patreon! If you enjoy this work and would like to support, you can go to patreon.com/whatslefttodo and for $5/month get early access to my Part 2 interviews. Supporting the Patreon is especially important this week, as I'm pretty sure Jared's wife will demand many expensive gifts from me as penance for getting him to speak so publicly about some of the unsavory days of his youth 😬😆All good if you're not able or willing to support just yet, all episodes will be unlocked after 30 days***

Buckle up, friends! We're about to go on a wild ride with Parts 1 & 2 of Dr. Ball's story.

In Part 1 it should become clear that he was born into a family of radicals which, in a way, overdetermined who he would become and the work he would do later in life. In Part 1 it should also become clear that no matter how wild/aimless/mischievous one is in their youth, there's always time to turn it around 😅 Even if/when an "accidental crack rock" is involved (this really happened. just listen).
