The Jason Wright Show

Kenneth Depew on The Jason Wright Show I’m very fortunate to have very smart and accomplished friends. Kenneth Depew is certainly no exception. Kenneth served in both Afghanistan as well as Iraq. Recently he became involved with Afghanistan once again not as a soldier but as a congressional aide trying to bring Americans home. He has also spent time on the ground in Ukraine where he gives a...

‘The Stone Chiseler’ was inspired by Viktor Frankl’s ‘Man’s Search for Meaning.’ It is a story about a young boy, Giovanni Chistianni, who loses everything dear to him in life. He is even cast into the dreaded outdoor prison known as The Stone Yards. However, it is there he discovers who he really is. Will he accept his fate as just another listeless Stone Chise...

In 2004, I set out to conduct a five-year “Rich Habits” study to explore how the world’s wealthiest people think about their money. Each of the 233 millionaires I interviewed fell into one of four categories: Saver-Investors: No matter what their day job is, they make  saving and investing  part of their daily routine. They are constantly thinking about smart ways to gr...

His social media is prolific with him surrounded by the kids he loves, inspires and leads. I fell in love with the guy immediately. He held the title of Dr. but he was more like one of my Sulphur Springs High School budd...

I’m currently finishing up Daniel Pink’s book, “The Power of Regret.” It had been an eye opener. As someone who wants to eliminate as much regret as possible, the book has proven very useful. We have multiple selves. The two I focus on in this episode are the ‘actual self’ and the ‘ideal self.’ When we are focused on trying to reach our ideal self, w...

The Ants & the Grasshopper One bright day in late autumn a family of Ants were bustling about in the warm sunshine, drying out the grain they had stored up during the summer, when a starving Grasshopper, his fiddle under his arm, came up and humbly begged for a bite to eat. “What!” cried the Ants in surprise, “haven’t you stored anything away for the winter? What in the...

Reality Will Punch You In The Face So I received an email from Flow Genome Collective CEO Jamie Wheal. It was excellent. Granted, Jamie and I have differing world views on a lot of the content of the email, but there was some great nuggets of wisdom for sure. The most profound was how so many people are caught up in theorizing and talking about all the problems we face without actually doing any r...

Derek Sivers Derek Sivers is a modern sage. He’s been wildly successful by all the typical measures, but that’s not why I like him and his work. Nope. It’s because Derek seems to have beaten the game of life. He lives on his terms. Just because everyone thinks you should sell your company and make millions and then live the FU money life, Derek does not. He keeps things simple. H...

I’m about to type something I haven’t typed, said or thought in a long long time. I can’t wait to go to the movies. I want to see ‘Maverick.’ I think Tom Cruise may have single handedly saved Hollywood with this film by making a movie Americans have been longing for. Retirement is something we all aspire to. However, the stats show most people die pretty soon after. A...

Medal of Honor Recipient Mike Thornton This was such an honor. I got to sit down with a true hero. Mike Thornton is by all accounts a true American hero.
