About
Through the use of positive/encouraging stories, parables, allegories, and analogies we will explore the trails of everyday life in a practical and meaningful manner as we scale towards our summit. Each day we will explore and consume small "nuggets of wisdom" as we cover a different subject or terrain. This 5 day a week, 5 minutes of wisdom podcast and journal will help us to live life fully while creating a living legacy. Along the way, we will be seeking wisdom and discipline and striving to understand the insights of the wise. By doing so we will learn to live a disciplined and successful life and to do what is right, just, and fair. I will count it a privilege if you will allow me be your guide as we trek together.
