Francis Manapul is a jack of several trades: drawing, inking, painting, coloring, writing, etc. I visited Toronto, Canada for a few days where Francis lives and took a shot that he may want to be a guest on my podcast. Francis took some time out of his busy writing and drawing schedule for the new TRINITY ReBirth book that includes Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman to talk with me. And boy what a talk it was. The timing of my visit to Toronto was odd to say the least. Francis had some deep loss right before our talk. Losing his friend and his biological father in the same day due to different circumstances.

This year I am running 7 marathons around the world to raise money for charity and to see the world before i no longer have the opportunity.  In this episode I talk about running the Guayaquil, Ecuador half marathon. Originally I was supposed to run Rio de Janeiro a few months ago but sickness prevented me from doing that. So this run is a last minute fill in  I was able to get two guides from Guayaquil who I interview. They helped me get through the race.  Donate to the charities Im raising and running for www.crowdrise.com/7on7 My website www.ejscott.com Twitter @ejscott @EJPodcast Instagram @ejscott1106 The Choroideremia Research Foundation www.curechm.org
