Two principles for success from Ira Glas...

Lucas Skrobot
About this episode

I've been meditating on the two principles of uprightness and endurance and how they go hand in hand . . . one without the other and the ship is sunk.  It seemed fitting to pull a segment out (my favorite segment . . . okay favorite episode) out from the archives due to be laid out with the flu.  

I've gone back to listen to this show, for my own encouragement, multiple times. I hope you find it as encouraging as I do.

Arno Rafael Minkkinen, Ira Glass, and Lucas Skrobot shares their different view points on the Tortoise and the Hare.

We hear an excerpt from Minkkinen, the famous photographer, share about a bus stop in Helsinki and how it relates to our work and our art.

Ira Glass "stops by" to share about what is required of us to "close the gap" between our taste and our ability.

And I share the REAL reason the tortoise beats the hare... and it isn't the reason you think.

Here are some link from the show...
