MORE ON THE HARRIS III EPISODE:

In addition to performing around the globe… when that’s safe to do… 

Harris III has also become a visionary entrepreneur, sought-after coach, creative consultant, and a quiet producer behind a diverse list of various film and TV projects. 

I was wildly blessed to get an early copy of his new book and I can tell you that Harris taps into his experiences as a professional magician and storyteller… to help us all remember the power of WONDER.  

In fact, he’s dug deep into this concept of WONDER and uncovered some keys that can help anyone to move from feeling STUCK to living more of the life they want to live.

And before anyone is tempted to dismiss “wonder†as being all rainbows and butterflies and little ponies… it’s important that we tip our hat to the power of wonder and awe.

In fact, Socrates said…

“Wonder is the beginning of wisdom.â€Â  Plato followed up with… “Philosophy begins in wonder.â€Â Â 

Let’s jump a few centuries… and check-in with Albert Einstein.  He said… 

“He who can no longer pause to wonder

and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead;  his eyes are closed.â€Â 

Neil Armstrong… the first person to walk on the moon once said… “Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man’s desire to understand.â€Â 

And one of the most important authors of all times DR SEUSS was known for…  “Think and wonder, wonder and think.â€Â Â 

That’s right.  Wonder.

It’s a timeless truth that wonder is the beginning of a lot of things that are good… but it’s sooooooo easy to lose that sense of wonder too.  Right?

Well… today, Harris is going to help us dive into the subject of WONDER.  What is it.  Why is it important?  AND… how to intentionally cultivate it… to have more of the good stuff in your life.

It’s an awesome convo… that I think you’re going to love… so let’s get to it!
