About This Podcast
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. Check out Marlon’s blog, The Newcomer at www.marlonjohnson.wordpress.com.
