You know those times you listen to a voice, a talk, a something that when it's over you feel changed? That's how I felt the first time I listened to Stephen Jenkinson talk.

Even more so after interviewing him.

In this episode we talk about

*elderhood and the disappearance of elders in our society

*wisdom and what it is to be wise

*his new book 'Come of Age'.

*his work with people facing death

His way of presenting these important themes is not full of fear, it is full of life and hope.

Enjoy his words.
