The theme for this week is forgiveness (big and small) and heroes. Once they get past the discussion of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer discussion, they introduce their first segment where we discuss a story about a mugger who apologized to his victim on facebook …. 35 years later. The story can be found here. In the spirit of the holiday season we discuss other forms of forgiveness both to ourselves and to others. We illustate this with the story of the two monks.
For our second segment, we discuss how our heroes evolve. Todd’s hero growing up was Walter Payton and now he is in awe of others such as Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and a man named Chuck Feeney. The story can be found here. We also discuss other types of heroes like Nelson Mandela and Malala.
We disuss a documentary called The One percent in which Jamie Johnson exposes the life of an heir to the Johnson & Johnson forune.
