About this episode

Linda McKissack and Dana Gentry discuss principles of gratitude and resilience from Chris Hodges' Legacy Letters.

In this episode, Linda McKissack and Dana Gentry discuss two principles from Legacy Letters by Chris Hodges: the Tigger Principle and the Green Grass Principle. They explore how a positive attitude is a daily choice rather than a reaction to circumstances, emphasizing that gratitude, optimism, and intentional thinking make people more resilient and life-giving leaders. The conversation then shifts to the tendency to chase "greener grass" instead of investing in what we already have—whether in business, marriage, or personal growth. Dana and Linda encourage listeners to stop looking for easy exits, push through inevitable challenges, and intentionally cultivate the relationships, careers, and opportunities they've already been given.
