About this episode
Over the past nine weeks I've been blessed with the opportunity to walk slowly through our entire neighborhood. I didn't know the man down the street was a bee farmer. Thousands of bees and a million stories about how to not only learn how to love them but to keep them coming back to his hives. And yes he's horrified of the potential of the Murder Hornet somehow making its way to the Carolinas. A few houses up from him is a man raising chickens. I mean the coolest looking cluckers on the planet! I raised chickens as a teen and none of my egg makers looked like this. On this podcast I ask you very politely to just stop. That's it. Stop. We are we rushing so quickly to get back to a lifestyle where we never took the time to see other things? Always in a rush. I talk about sitting in my own forest. I planted seventeen hundred of these trees. I wasn't there to watch them grow thicker trunks. Nope too busy chasing a radio career. Someone once asked me, "Did you ever catch up to the career you were stalking?" Nowhere close. Yet the trees with all their universal songs tucked away in their leaves and needles have sat here waiting for me patiently. I honestly can't wait to see how the nation's going to change when career chasers finally make their way back to those business hallways. How many of them will last the year knowing life exists out here? Creating home offices could very easily become the norm. I believe in this so much that I'm having a conversation with Justin Burr today from Google who's a total expert in this field. I totally get that we need to buckle down and find focus on the business front. I only bring this up because maybe the new work week can include more time away from the office by way of doing it from home. My daughter's position is designed just like that. She gets to watch and participate with the growth of her two teens. What's that like? I mean! Wow! Yeah these are some strange times. The monster is still invisible and we're ready to jump in the middle. Back into a world where everything that made us feel great and live longer was man made. Hmmm. Then Mother Nature said, "I accept that challenge. Get ready for this."
