307. Robust Interpretation Practices w/ Dr. W. Joel Schneider

“I feel much more confident in my interpretation if I predicted it in advance.” Dr. Joel Schneider is back for another episode with his characteristic blend of humor, storytelling, and clinical acumen.

Like with his previous episode, there is just so much good info to take away from this episode (you may want to listen twice)!
