In this episode, Phil and Azaii deviate from the usual MCAT-centered format. From Azaii to our listeners: Thank you all for your time, trust, and walking the MCAT podcast journey with us.

I look forward to starting a new chapter. As you hear bits of my story, I hope that more than anything you realize that if I can make it this far, so can you! Once again, thank you for walking this journey with us and Phil, whenever you see this blurb / description, thank you for everything. Catch you on the flipside :) Want to learn more?
