The scale of it. The weight of it. And then comes the question that stops so many of us cold. Does anything I do actually matter? My guest today, Dr. Scott Stoll, has spent more than 20 years answering that question. He’s a former Olympic athlete turned physician who built the largest annual gathering of plant-based healthcare professionals in the world, bringing together thousands of clinicians and changemakers from across the globe. And he is one of the most gifted storytellers I’ve come across in this space — the kind of person who can make you feel something and think something at the same time. Does anything I do actually matter? After this episode, you’ll agree the answer a resounding yes.
