About this episode
JW shares final thoughts on personal growth and resilience amidst chaos and disaster.
The five labors of growth are complete. But before we close the series out JW has one more thing to tell you — the part he hasn’t said yet. These tools won’t fix everything. The world is full of people stomping around in their meat suits leaving wreckage behind them and a subscription to dogmatic belief doesn’t insure their humanity. What the toolbox does is give you a foundation that doesn’t move when those people show up. And they will show up. A man on a plane between Wisconsin and Houston trying to use what he’s been building. Plus a new episode of Duwali Bottoms Texas. Hurricane Ike has had its say. The Heights is flooded, the generator is pinned under an oak tree, and the power won’t be back for weeks. Tony packs the Martin. He packs the napkin too. Duwali Bottoms is calling.
