The Problem With Perfect

Lunchmeat & Life Lessons with Mary B. Lucas

What will the epitaph on your grave say to the world?

"To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die," aren't just words on her parent's headstone for Mary B. Lucas. They are now her legacy.

The ninth of ten children, Mary was an adult before she realized that her father, "a butcher by trade with an eighth grade education was the smartest man I ever knew." When he died in 2004, Mary wasn't content to let all his years of wisdom die with him. She wanted her boys to be inspired and shaped by the same advice her father had given her, so she began writing his life lessons that had shaped her and made him an entrepreneurial success. Little did she know that her spiral bound memoir would explode, become an acclaimed best-seller and afford her the opportunity to speak to people around the world, sharing her father's wisdom. 

This podcast isn't simply full of life lessons we all need to hear. It is inspiring and uplifting and will leave you motivated to bring out the best in yourself and those around you.

GUEST: Mary B. Lucas, author of Lunchmeat and Life Lessons, with more than 70,000 books in print. Now a motivational speaker and coach, Mary travels the world sharing the lessons her dad taught her.
