"Who is F. Scott Feil?"

Dr. F. Scott “Scotty” Feil (pronounced like SH’s “Feel It”) joins Chris Rhoad and his former college roommate, Mark.

Scotty likens TRB to a gyroscope and goes on to explain the boat has shaken up his world through all of the intimate connections that he has made with fellow boaters, including falling in love with his now wife. Scotty opens up about his career as a PT educator, podcaster, and his recent book: “PT Educator's Student Debt Eliminator: Multiple Streams of Revenue for Healthcare Clinicians and Academicians”.

"Who is Ali Novitsky?"

Ali Novitsky joins husband, Mark, and treasured friend, Chris Rhoad in this Leap-Day Edition of The BoatCast. We are not sure what is more remarkable, Ali’s shift from burnt-out neonatologist to leading Life Coach for Women Physicians — or maturation in her musical taste from Britney Spears to Tony Lucca (who incidentally were both on Mickey Mouse Club together). The episode was recorded live from Grand Cayman (so apologies for the audio quality at times). Ali discusses Epic Hi Fives on the Boat and offers a helpful tip for boaters during their upcoming TRBXXI day in Grand Cayman.

"Who is Joe Pearl?"

Joseph “Bingo Joe” Pearl has befriended many fellow boaters and artists on TRB over the years, but none more near and dear to his heart than his now wife, Crystal. Not surprisingly, he has a strong admiration for artists like Stephen Kellogg and Amy Gerhartz . Joe teaches Chris and Mark his “Float Through the Days” approach to enjoying the Boat and offers a solution to avoiding the Post-Rock Boat Blues (PRBB). ***Please consult your doctor if you are experiencing severe PRBB symptoms or if symptoms last more than two weeks***
