73 - On Success

To kick off Season 2, we start by introducing ourselves and some of our favorite poems, and go on to discuss the concept of success in light of Malcolm Gladwell's book "Outliers"--and the book of Joshua. In the King James Version, the word "success" actually only appears in the introduction to the book of Joshua. So, what are we to understand about the nature of success?

This Episode Features: Malcolm Gladwell; Systemic Hockey Discrimination; Joshua The Son Of Nun; The CDC; History That Is Prophecy; Death By Committee; Cobblers And Monks; My Sanctification And Me; and Introverts Building Community.
