In this heartfelt and humor-filled episode of Thrive-Learn-Connect, Jamie (rocking a delightfully husky voice thanks to a stubborn sinus infection) and Max (recovering from a fierce case of “pickle elbow”) reflect on how our past, present, and future shape who we are and who we’re becoming.

Through personal stories, laughter, and a few sniffles, they explore:

The hidden gifts of our past (including Max’s third-grade grit and Jamie’s first-grade recorder concert gaff)

Techniques for finding peace and presence in a chaotic world

The power of dreaming big and imagining what’s next

Whether you’re stuck in the past, hustling through the present, or nervously eyeing the future, this episode invites you to pause, breathe, and appreciate all three timeframes as part of your personal mosaic.
