The episode concludes with the notion that fulfillment often comes from removing rather than adding, and wraps up with final thoughts and a farewell.

    From our first days at any school we are rewarded by proving we have added to our knowledge; so, understandably we feel to achieve results and reach goals then we must add to our knowledge or add to our skills.  Unfortunately as adults outside of institutions, this can move us further from our goals and what makes the difference is what we take away.  This podcast explains what I mean.
