On the podcast today, we are joined by Dr. Arthur Rapkin (Art). Art is the author of newly released book 'Poison For Rats' and has been practicing acupuncture for 37 years.

On the surface, Art's life story feels too unbelievable to be real - you can't help but feel skeptical. There's no way he pulled off an impersonation Bob Dylan scam or smuggled a ridiculous amount of drugs into the US through aerosol deodorant cans, or escaped Mexican Prison! But it's true, he has the receipts, and it's a reminder about how bizarre, strange, and surprisingly beautiful truth really is.

We won't reveal it all, but this episode is well worth a listen.

Art's story though is one of redemption and transformation. He discusses how these experiences shaped his approach to life and healing. The meaning he now finds in his work is deeply tied to his desire to help others and the sense of fulfillment it brings him. Through acupuncture, mentoring, and coaching, he continues to impact lives positively, drawing from his rich and diverse life experiences to guide and support others.

Art's incredible life is documented in his book with photos and evidence, and is soon to be turned into a TV series after his story was purchased by a production agency.

Key topics discussed:

- Art's experiences smuggling cocaine from Colombia to the U.S. at age 22

- His unconventional methods to avoid the Vietnam draft.

- Impersonating Bob Dylan for sold-out concerts.

- Harrowing torture experience in a Mexican prison.

- Life lessons from street-smart mentors in Milwaukee.
