Staying Fascinated With My Wife

Leaning Toward Wisdom ·

2025/10/31

Once we were young.Now, we're old. Okay, older. Being older is good. Often, it's great! She was always gorgeous. I was always smitten. Madly in love. The love affair began on Wednesday night, July 2, 1975. During a church camp meeting in Oklahoma. I asked her out on a date following church services that night. She said yes. That orange car in the picture was our chariot. We drove around a bit. Talked a lot. Probably went to a Dairy Queen for soft drinks. I can't remember. Eventually, I

Not Knowing You’re In Trouble

Leaning Toward Wisdom ·

2025/08/21

Today’s episode is about something we’ve all experienced, often without realizing it at the time: not knowing you’re in trouble.Not because you didn’t see the warning signs—but because you couldn’t, or maybe you wouldn’t. Pride, foolishness, selfishness—they can all blind us. And sometimes, the most dangerous trouble is the kind we don’t know we’re in.

The Stories They’ll Never Know…Unless You Tell Them

2025/08/13

Your Story Is Their InheritanceWhy documenting your life may be the most powerful gift you leave behind “When an old man dies, a library burns to the ground.” – African proverb We spend our lives accumulating experiences, lessons, values, and insights — but how much of it do we pass on? Not the stuff — the stories. The moments. The decisions. The wisdom. Your story is your legacy. And your family needs it more than you think. Why Your Story Matters We all come from a long line of stories, but

Trying To Fix A Dead Horse

Leaning Toward Wisdom ·

2025/07/24

I know, I've been a dog on a bone with this. Some might say, "You're beating a dead horse!" Maybe. And maybe that's the method to my madness in the past few episodes.Do you know about the dead horse theory? It's had a long-standing place in management lore. It goes like this, according to the Internet. The “Dead Horse Theory” is a satirical metaphor that illustrates how some individuals, institutions, or nations handle obvious, unsolvable problems. Instead of accepting reality, they cling to

The Discipline To Improve & Be Better

Leaning Toward Wisdom ·

2025/06/23

When we learn that our behavior and choices belong entirely to us and are independent of what others do, it's the road less traveled to becoming a better person. Rare are the people who have made up their minds to behave like that, likely because it demands a willingness to suffer wrong and move on to do what's right. No matter what.Self-discipline is at the heart of enduring suffering, sacrificing, exercising grace and gratitude. All hard things! Easier things are becoming bitter, harboring

It’s Hard When You Don’t See Results Right Away

A few weeks ago, Megan Moroney was on The Bobby Bones Show. She's an emerging country music star touring with Kenny Chesney. I only know that because I've seen snippets of their shows on social media. Not knowing who she is or anything about her, I trolled through a short clip of Bobby Bones's interview with her. During the interview, Bobby asked her a question that prompted an answer we can all relate to, but here's a young lady who seems to be breaking through country music in a BIG way. But

How Do You Measure Success?

Leaning Toward Wisdom ·

2025/04/16

He asks me, "How do you measure success?"I have questions before I answer. "Success in what?" "Sales success is easy to measure. Serenity, not so much." Turns out he was focused on how I viewed MY success in general. Part of the challenge of measuring or defining success is the common disease of comparisonitis.

I Learned Everything I Needed From The Bible

Leaning Toward Wisdom ·

2025/01/11

All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten: Uncommon Thoughts on Common Things by Robert Fulghum was published in 1986. It was quite the rage because it was filled with commonsense life maxims. I read it and appreciated the author's point that even children can (and should) learn how to behave toward others.We are almost 40 years later, and it seems like a prehistoric work of fiction. When I purchased this book, I had yet to turn 30. I had two small children and a wife I'd been married to

If Your Habits Don’t Change, You Won’t Have A New...

Leaning Toward Wisdom ·

2025/01/06

I posted this on social media a few days ago. It's easy to desire improvement, but it's hard to change our habits to bring about improvement. Each year begins with the hope that 2025 will be better than 2024. Maybe it will. Maybe not. Our habits are going to determine it. These 2 sentences are true. Life bears witness to their validity.

The Ongoing Quest For Greater Wisdom

Leaning Toward Wisdom ·

2024/12/24

Happy New Year, 2025! In the fall of 1997, I uploaded my first audio under the tagline "Leaning Toward Wisdom." It was my documentary, the journey of a 40-year-old dad desiring to pass along whatever lessons I might. Twenty-seven years later, I'm still unsure how successful the quest has been to lean more toward wisdom and away from foolishness. But life ain't over yet, so let the leaning (and learning) continue. Thank you for joining the journey. I hope it benefits you. Please tell a friend

Am I Solving The Right Problem In This Relationship?

Leaning Toward Wisdom ·

2024/12/22

It started with a voicemail from a client. His message said, "I've got a situation - a problem. I could use your advice. Call me back." The problem? A relationship. A couple of relationships. At some point during my questioning him, for my understanding, he stopped and said, "What I thought was the problem may not be the problem. Guess I'd better make sure I'm solving the right problem, huh?" That's solid insight - especially when it's a relationship problem. During the holiday season,

Staying Around The Smart Spots

"My ambition didn't allow me to fail," said Jack Barsky, an ex-KGB spy who was a sleeper agent in the United States.Barsky was quite successful in avoiding detection. Until he was, then no amount of ambition would prevent authorities from moving in. He stayed around his smart spots for years, navigating North American culture to spy for the Soviet Union and his faith in communism. Barsky might argue that over time, he learned how corrupt and wretched communism was - and how he had been

Ironically, I chose to make this an audio, not a video. Yes, that was intentional. I hope you'll click PLAY. It started in 1997. This podcast. It was a handheld Olympus digital recorder. No SD card. Just built-in memory. It was less than $100 and I'd been using it for a while to dictate work notes and ideas. Audio was easy. And
