  • Have you thought about the life lessons your children will be able to learn after you're gone?


    We were faced with this question following the loss of close family.


    Life doesn't come with a manual.


    In a nutshell, the premise of the podcast is borrowing the life experiences of some notable people from various fields so that our children can learn from them in the future.


    Each episode features a conversation with someone who has achieved big things in their own chose field.


    Our hope is that your children and ours can listen to these legends of our lifetime when they're growing up, in order to get insightful life lessons they can apply in their own
