Why is it so hard to bridge the gap between knowledge and action to achieve wisdom?
In this thought-provoking episode of Dennis Rox, Eldar, Mike, and Toliy explore the elusive nature of wisdom—defined as bridging knowledge, experience, and action—while dissecting why attachment to outcomes leads to suffering. Drawing from Socrates' idea that true wisdom lies in recognizing ignorance, the hosts discuss the "gap" between knowing and doing, the role of subconscious habits in self-sabotage, and how force (in sales, relationships, or personal goals) prevents genuine growth and fun. Through relatable examples like dating fears, sales rejections, and family dynamics, they reveal how patience, self-awareness, and non-attachment can transform pain into progress, ultimately leading to a life of authentic joy and mastery. Perfect for anyone stuck in repetitive cycles, this episode challenges listeners to pay attention, question their realities, and embrace change without forcing it.

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.
