What do we want the next generation to know, so they can thrive? If someone were to ask me for life advice, for my philosophy, what would I tell them? Contemplations is all about growth. Your growth. My growth. Our children’s growth. Our families' growth. Our community's growth. Growth that comes from reflecting on our experiences, sharing our hard knocks, remembering our wins. Recalling the advice of those who walked the life's path ahead of us. Observations of how the world really works. Based on the book, The Contemplations of Jansah Kwabena, available now on Amazon.com.

    In this episode, host Marlon Johnson is joined by his very first guest, Francis Okyere. They focus on Chapter One's emphasis of helping young people prepare for the many roads ahead. The conversation settles onto the theme of wisdom: how it is shared, the mentors and influences of their own youth, and the best advice they received.

    Contemplations Episode 0008

    Chapter 3 moves us into considerations of the central focus of our lives. How do we choose what core principles to build our lives around? Do we actually choose, or does it just 'happen' to us as life's experiences push us this way and that? Also, what approach do we take toward building platforms for the next generations' benefit? What should those platforms consist of? How do we help them preserve, improve and pass these platforms onward, for years to come?
