As we conduct the great KEW acid tests I have to establish a baseline. In this episode I want to touch on a few elements of the ‘human personality’ and our ‘global value system’ that I think we can improve on. I think humans are great, but there are a…
Tag: Knowledge + Experience = Wisdom
Epilogue KEW. The ‘Last Episode’ for now.
In the most recent Episodes I shared the capstone of my work thus far on Knowledge + Experience = Wisdom. Episodes 99 and 100 represent the culmination of the preceding 98 Episodes and 30+ interviews.

“The World Needs You To Become the Best ‘You’ Possible” KEW Episode 99: The Uniqueness Imperative
I kind of can’t believe the title of Episode 99, but this is the culmination of all the work so far including nearly 100 KEW Episodes and over 30 Interviews. Hopefully this body of work, thus far, has earned me a bit of credibility. Coupled with my PhD in Ecology…

“Integrity is Aligning Your Actions with Your Values” Preview KEW Episode 91: Walk the Talk
Has anyone ever told you to ‘Walk the Talk?’ My dad used to say this to me in those moments of fatherly advice. Yeah, I hated it when he said it. When I was a teenager this phrase just made me angry at him for not understanding how hard my…

FLASHBACK! KEW Episode 9: Old Beliefs
What beliefs are you carrying around that no longer serve you? Maybe you grew up in a religious household but no longer practice. Maybe you were told that non-white people were bad, but you never understood why. Maybe you believed you had to do whatever people told you to do…
KEW Episode 88: It Takes a Village
Where do you stand on the whole ‘personal responsibility’ issue? I always assumed that I had to take care of my own stuff. I made my choices and had to deal with them. When I had kids, everyone kept telling me, ‘it takes a village’, and I honestly didn’t understand…
