Stepping back in time a hundred years or so to learn some lessons from the past. Jump in as we unpack some ideas around poverty, reading, being highly sensitive, happiness and grit. P.S. I’m sorry for the background children noise I didn’t notice till I was editing, my kids were on the other side of the house but still managed to get in the podcast.
