Welcome to In Search of Wisdom, a podcast by the Perennial Leader Project.
In this episode, I’m sharing an audio lesson from The Wisdom School, a new private podcast for Perennial Meditations members (our daily email community on Substack). The first season of The Wisdom School is based on a 5-week course we just finished called The Timeless Art of Leading a Life. Throughout this course, we’ve explored timeless perspectives, principles, and practices for daily life. The lesson I’m sharing today is episode four of The Wisdom School, which is on The Wisdom of Not Knowing. 
If you’re interested in getting our daily meditations and access to The Wisdom School, our new private podcast. You can visit Perennial Meditations on Substack and become a member! Your support is deeply appreciated and helps me to keep this podcast completely ad-free and focused on wisdom for daily life!
