In this episode, I dive deep into one of the greatest stories of perseverance ever written—The Old Man and The Sea. Hemingway’s tale of Santiago’s relentless battle against the sea isn’t just a novel; it’s a blueprint for resilience, grit, and finding meaning in struggle. I explore why this book means so much to me, how its themes of endurance and quiet dignity resonate in everyday life, and why its lessons are more relevant than ever. Whether you’re facing personal setbacks, creative challenges, or just need a reminder to keep pushing forward, this book is for you.
