Show Notes #400 Ash Perrow: Working from the Heart

Today with my guest Ash Perrow, I release my 400th podcast episode.

When I began this project, I had no idea where this journey would lead — only that I felt called to speak, reflect, and explore what matters most.

Very few podcasts ever reach 400 episodes. I read that fewer than 1% of all podcasts reach 400 episodes. The real milestone, however, isn't the number of shows. It's the conversations, the growth, and the community that has formed along the way.

At this time, I especially want to thank you for listening and thinking with me. This show is for you!

*****

My guest today is Ash Perrow, advocate of living AND working from listening to the guidance of the heart.

Yes, in this show we discuss the relationship of the head and the heart in living what we call a well-lived life.

#399 Charlie: When No One is Watching

I believe that a well-lived life isn't built in grand moments. It's made in small, unseen choices. It's about staying consistent when no one is watching.

Obviously, there is no single path to a well-lived life, but there are qualities that seem to appear along the way.

In my mind those are: Authenticity, curiosity, resilience, and spirituality. These four are not achievements—they're practices, quietly chosen, over and over again.

These qualities certainly don't guarantee ease, but they do deepen presence. And over time, they shape a life that feels not perfect, but true. Yes, true to our core nature.

Show Notes #397 Susanne Eden: Aging with Optimism and Purpose

Today we are chatting with Dr Susanne Eden, author of Healing from the Inside: Living Fully as You Age, which is a delightful journey into a vibrant, yet realistic old age.

At the age of 87, Susanne believes she is in better shape today—physically, mentally, spiritually—than she was 30 years ago.

My guest today is Chris Avery.

With a humble but steadily growing community of 5,000 Christian men, Chris Avery brings a grounded voice to topics like discipline, fatherhood, and the gritty side of spiritual growth.

Chris wasn't born with unshakeable confidence. He's walked through the valley of fear, experienced doubt, and rebuilt himself one mile at a time (which we will talk about more as the show proceeds).

Chris has coached more than a thousand people, helping men find clarity, resilience, and deeper identity in Christ.

My guest today is friend and poet Steve Garnass-Holmes.

Steve Garnass-Holmes's life is rich in thought and in experience. Talking to Steve is like talking to a writer of wisdom literature. Today we will begin the show by addressing the question, "What does it really mean to follow Jesus?" Is it a heart or head issue? The heart says to love while the head becomes laden with thoughts of being right.

But there is really only one way to be right and that is To Love. Steve Garnass-Holmes will challenge what you may believe and then encourage you with one simple truth.
