The Life Purpose Podcast on Life Signatures Radio

📢 New #Podcast!  We can debate about origins all day long. At the end of the day, we all agree that we did not make ourselves. Someone somewhere set it all off. The question is, for what purpose? Towards what end are we alive? Is what I am engaged in today a response to why I am here? Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! I am not so sure about everyone, but I have a feeling that we all get to that point in our lives when we start asking existential questions. It doesn't matter whether we are prospering or we are struggling, that question about our meaning always comes up. Listen to this.

Life is always asking us questions. We cannot run away from them. However, we can silence that voice, ignore it and just get too busy to confront the questions. But if we dare do lean into the questions, light starts coming in. Listen to this.

In life, one of the deeper questions to ask are existential questions. Perhaps no other creatures in the universe other than mankind are riddled with the question or lack of it's answers. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Raising street smart children is increasingly becoming a necessity. It is not that we are responding to changes, but that it needs to be so from the get go. But anyway, the things we are seeing in the job market and startup world today juxtaposed with our education systems, we have no otherwise but to raise street smart children. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! In raising street smart children, we will necessarily need to go outside of the normal and traditional and start building their personal brands. The era of people just studying to be employable is long gone. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!!  Raising street smart children will need us to teach them to have the spirit of an entrepreneur...even though not everyone can become one. However, thinking like one is important. These are the four aspects of this pillar that we must inculcate. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!!  To raise street smart children is to teach them some aspects of entrepreneurship. Part of this involves being responsible for projects. They ideate and go through a project that they can be proud of by themselves. This should be part of their lives, not just a one off. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! There is nothing wrong with teaching our children theory...at least for now. I have a feeling that with time, it will be the most useless thing to do, especially with changing technological abilities. One thing we then need to make sure that they are adept at is problem solving. Listen to this.  

📢 New #Podcast!! We have no problem taking the to school to learn theory and become book smart. But we are missing out on teaching them one aspect of life that is absolutely critical in their success, especially in the changed landscape of life. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! 1598. Why Entrepreneurship Must Be COMPULSORY in Kindergarten All Through #Purpose #Entrepreneurship And I mean it. The problem with us is that we think all that can be learnt must be theory and must be examinable. We think that learning is about principles and concepts. I believe that we do life daily entrepreneurially...and yet this is the most neglected skill to be imparted in...

📢 New #Podcast!!  I know this is controversial. There are some subjects that are made compulsory in school even though not everyone has the intellectual capacity to grasp them fully. This is not true with entrepreneurship. It affects us daily, whether employed or running our own businesses. It needs to be emphasized in raising street smart children. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!!  When I asked a top journalist in the country his opinion on the subject matter, he said that he would rather have both street smart and book smart people around him. Now, we have no problem with churning out book smart people. What we need is to champion street smart ones. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! One of the worst things we can do for our children is to feed them with theories without necessarily showing them how to make connections of things in the world today. A street smart person knows the power of connections. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! This is perhaps one of the greatest pillars of raising a street smart person: teaching them how to make the most of connections in life. There was once a street smart person with no degree that was a campaign manager for a president of the United states. He knew about connections in life. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!!  Placing Street Smartness and Book Smartness together, those who would select Book Smartness invariably would think that there is no book reading in street smartness. That philosophy has been propagated for decades on end, but it is wrong. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!!  There is something that is totally ignored the world over in raising children through the traditional book smart education system. This is not to say that the education is completely off on it, but the way it is structured, it doesn't revolve around the most important raw materials that humans have. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!!  Their school opened a week earlier than others because they are on a different curriculum. They are also involved in Children's Church which had a performance that needed them to be present for practice...but during the school hours. I sent them to practice. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! To be street smart, we need to understand the importance of people. Not everyone is an extrovert but that doesn't negate this critical pillar in raising street smart children. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! To teach children to be be street smart needs to start by teaching them to be survivors. They need to know things like making it in tough situations, improvisations, mental toughness and so on. Here is now we can help them. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!!  We live in a world that needs these three components I talk about on this podcast: Purpose, Productivity, and Resilience. The question is: Where do they get these things from? Is it possible that they can obtain them from being booksmart? Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!!  The problem with raising children on theories alone is that at the end of the day, when they need to face the real world, they will be stuck. There is a place for books and being book smart, but that place is becoming smaller and smaller by the day. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!!  Street smart or book smart? Street smart of course. But how exactly do you make it that your children become street smart? Simple. Decide that book smart is not working anymore, at least on its own. What do you do next? Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!!  Parents who suffered at times normally make inner vows that their children will never suffer a single day. That is something dangerous. Children need be more street smart today than ever before, and for that to happen, we need to teach them to be survivors. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! I am watching a movie titled "Something the Lord Made." It is about a black man in 1930 during the dark times of racial segregation that managed to become a surgeon without necessarily being "book smart".  Unfortunately, that is just one story over many decades. We need a critical mass for this, and I believe it will happen. Parents will need to be on top of this.
