I read “The 38 Letters From J.D. Rockefeller to His Son: Perspectives, Ideology, and Wisdom”
John D. Rockefeller was born in a poor family with a con artist, bigamist father and became the world's richest man with an estimated network of over $200 Billion in today's currency.
He is a nuanced character with many flaws and many virtues, in this episode we learn from them both. We learn what advice about money, God, life, beliefs, relationships, business, charity, and happiness he deemed important enough to pass on to his son.
We are wise to learn from such a prolific man.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
