<![CDATA[In Search of the Wisdom of Elders]]>In Search of the Wisdom of Elders is a podcast about life’s great transitions—loss, reinvention, love, purpose, and becoming who you’re meant to be. Each episode features an elder who has lived through real challenges and emerged with hard-earned insight. These are honest conversations about what breaks us, what shapes us, and what truly matters when the old ways no longer work.

About the Host
The host is in the midst of his own major life transition—grieving the end of a marriage, facing financial collapse, and letting go of identities and measures of success that no longer fit. He is asking these questions not as an expert, but as a man seeking to grow into a wiser, more grounded version of himself in the second half of life. This podcast is part of that journey—an act of listening, humility, and learning from those who have walked the road before, in the hope of becoming a king and an elder who leads with integrity, service, and love.
