On today's episode we are interviewing my father, John Guzman. This is part 1 of a 2 part series meant to be in honor of father's day (belated by this point for sure). But in this conversation we cover ground on aliens, John's prolific spiritual journey, abortion, potential trump re-election, the second law of thermodynamics, the definition of God, and life after death. Again this podcast turned somewhat topical, because not long after it was recorded, the supreme court ruled to uphold abortion rights in Louisana, a link is provided in the episode notes. Anyways if those sound like interesting topics, or you would like to witness the father behind the scientist, this is your opportunity.
