Good Morning On Purpose

Rounding a corner on my study of Cicero's Tusculan Disputations I finally arrive at the concept that originally piqued my curiosity - the sword of Damocles. In this episode I describe the stories of Dionysius and Damocles. Thinking on how we might overcome the weight of looming threats is certain to help us all have a Good Morning On Purpose. Enjoy!
