  • A fresh look at what it means to be wise - beyond age and experience.
    Sam challenges and expands upon traditional views of wisdom, to redefine wisdom to be more useful and true.
    By examining how wisdom influences our life decisions and embracing a broader definition of wisdom, we invite listeners to reconsider their perceptions of wisdom.
