In this inaugural episode, Joel Zuckerman, author of the recently published book "Grateful," delves into the impact of gratitude, even when approached with a hint of sarcasm and bitterness. Inspired by a 90s self-help book, Joel takes us on a journey that led him to pen heartfelt letters to those around him. As he reads out a special letter addressed to his first guest, Noah, a 'boy genius' with a deep connection to Joel, the episode unfolds the story of their unique friendship. Noah, a 28-year-old Microsoft engineer, not only gives insight into his inspiring family's escape from Egypt and subsequent adventures but also highlights the importance of mentorship, relationships, and embracing opportunities. Tune in for an unconventional yet deeply touching exploration of gratitude in the modern age.
