Joining me on this podcast is Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy and Cliff Meidl.  Dr. Lesavoy is a highly respected American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) certified Plastic Surgeon and a Professor of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at UCLA School of Medicine. He is a former Chief of Plastic Surgery at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. Dr. Lesavoy has received numerous awards, including the most prestigious American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) Clinician of the Year Award.

Cliff is a retired American sprint kayaker, now motivational speaker who regularly speaks on the need for on-the-job safety procedures. He competed in 1000 m kayak events, at the 1996 and 2000 Summer Olympics. He was honored as the U.S. flag bearer at the 2000 Summer Olympics. This would not have been possible without the plastic and reconstructive surgery performed by Dr. Lesavoy. He will be sharing his horrific injury on a job site, that nearly cost him his life.

The show blends how Dr. Lesavoy changed the course of Cliff's life and how they have continued to be long time friends for decades.
