You know what wonder is. It’s that feeling you get when you see the Grand Canyon for the first time or a double rainbow or a beautiful sunset. The problem is we tend to lose our sense of wonder over time. Still, it is an emotion worth developing according to Monica Parker. She is a world-renowned speaker who has spent decades helping people discover how to lead and live wonderfully. She is also author of the book The Power of Wonder (https://amzn.to/3I5F5Y4). Listen as she explains the amazing mental, emotional and physical benefits of finding wonder in your world – and exactly how to do it. 

What is money and how does it work? There is a lot of misunderstanding about this topic.

Listen as he discusses how money works, how it has changed and what the future of money is.
