Searching for America with Robyn Curnow

The 101 year perspective of politics | Robyn Curnow


Listen Later

When politics get crazy who do you listen to? Your financial advisor who’s watching the stock market? A friend in government?

Robyn Curnow turns to her favorite analyst when times get complicated.... her 101 year old grandmother.

She's has lived through world wars that redrew the map, economic depressions that shattered lives, technological revolutions that have fundamentally altered how we connect and communicate. She’s seen empires rise and fall, social norms transform, and scientific breakthroughs once relegated to science fiction become everyday realities.

What does to she remind us when the only certainty is uncertainty?

Not every fleeting headline demands our constant attention.

Some storms will pass.
History is littered with bad leaders, and stupid people.
Our time is no different.

Listen to Robyn Curnow dissect the lessons of the view long.

(Plus... hear what her grandmother's secret is to a long life.)
