EP: 34 Let's Get Writing with Dr. Don Hodder, Part 1

Dr. Hodder is 82 years old but perpetually young. My first interview with him was in 2017 when he launched his first book, Follow Your Bliss. Having grown up in a very small community in Newfoundland, he was the only graduate in his grade 11 class. Yet he went on to become a teacher and then, for forty-five years, a family physician. In this episode we talk about why he writes and how to collect stories from a lifetime of living and consolidate them into a book. In this instance, Leftover Stew, his latest release is compiled of new material along with “leftovers” from his first book which was, at 500 pages, not able to accommodate anything more. I enjoyed our discussion so much, we spontaneously shot Part 2. Interesting fact: the proceeds from his books go to charity. He has donated $6000 from the proceeds of his first book to three organizations, and his recent book supports the local Food Bank.
