Infallible
One of the things that troubles me most is Cancel Culture. There are some that say it’s a social construct, but every time anyone wants to cause someone else to be silenced, it indicates that the person wanting the other to be silenced sees themselves ostensibly as infallible. That sets up the person wanting the silence for failure. I explain my thought in this week’s podcast.
Either or both? How to listen for the real Question
“So, should it be Mexican or wings tonight?” The right answer is not “yes” (unless you want Mexican wings…) . In this podcast, Terry talks about the real question and the basis for much of our political disagreement today.
Who Speaks to You?
What are the influences in your life. It depends on who you listen to, watch or read. All these have an influence on who we are and how we react in life.
Terry mentions the 7 Mountain Strategy expounded on by Lance Wallnau. That will be a full episode soon, but if you would like further information now, here’s a link.
Do Politics and Business Mix?

What Happens When The Vision is Lost?
Terry shares several examples of strong vision and one that is of a billion-dollar company that totally lost it.
