Summary

Ever had a moment that reshaped everything? Last July, I stumbled upon two sentences about wisdom. They sparked a 670-hour journey, revealing the costs: humility, relationships, money, opportunity, and time. Tracking "wisdom hours" through reading, mentoring, and reflection reshaped my decisions, well-being, patience, and curiosity. Now, I ask you: Are you actively pursuing wisdom? You can start by dedicating just an hour to activities like walking with a wise friend or journaling. Pursuing wisdom isn't just an idea; it's a transformative path. Join me as we uncover its power together in this episode.

I want the sound team engaged in laughing.

The sound team has heard it all. They have and if I can make them laugh and learn along the way, the audience is going to absolutely love the keynote.

text you during my speech and compliments you on how well the event is going, then
