S2E48 | Suhey Fisher | Survival Is a Superpower. And a Trap.

There is an Iroquois proverb. The 7th Generation. Every deliberation should account for its impact on the next seven generations. Contrast that with the majority today. Fair to say most, not all, are transactional, guarded, distracted, and distant. Then one comes along who puts we before me. Whose purpose for being is unbundling the vagaries of finding one's purpose, place, and productivity. Here | There | Everywhere. Not dictated by income. Not motivated by titles, accolades, or convention. Operating with inspiration, deep thought, study, and practicality. A new model emerges. This is a raw stream of consciousness. Navigating with one who has lived, earned, and performed in three distinct phases. Then | Now | What Will Be. Suhey. A troubadour of BTR™ = Better. This is a jam session, unlike most. Tune in. Wonder and wander with us. This is emotional, real, and born from life's hardest tests.
