We welcome a remarkable man to the podcast. Arthur Ullian is a successful businessman, philanthropist, historian and writer. His new book is entitled, “Matthew, Mark, Luke, John …and Me: Growing up Jewish in a Christian World.” It chronicles the history of anti-Semitism and what he experienced as the sole Jewish student during his school days. You’ll learn about how he became paralyzed following a biking accident at age 51, and has since used his business and entrepreneurial skills to advocate for increased federal funding of biomedical research. Along the way, he befriended fellow advocate Christopher Reeve, aka Superman. In my opinion, Arthur is a superhero in his own right!
