“Brian, I can not thank you enough for all that you have shared with me over the past week via your philosophers notes. I found a link to them and have listened to about 80% of them with the last few coming in right now. I am an audible.com junkie and have been listening to constant audio books and pod casts for the last 5 or so years but your information is hands down one of the best that resonate with me. so thanks. it is so great to hear your ideas on these books and then how they relate to other books and ideas. It helps that I have a similar goal and starting point in my beliefs. I am all for the creation of wealth (not individually but as an idea for helping humanity) and find your ideas on this refreshing.”
“I appreciate receiving these PhilosophersNotes filled with deep and powerful wisdom so very much. As a busy mother and lawyer, I never seem to have enough time in the day to satisfy my thirst for new wisdom and growth. So I particularly love giving your Note a quick read as part of my morning routine, and then contemplating the "Big Ideas" of the day (and how I can more deeply incorporate into my own life) while making breakfast for my son, driving to the office, riding in the elevator, etc. - whenever I have a quiet moment. You've made it so easy to do, and I can honestly say that this practice helps me stay centered and intentional throughout my day. Thank you so much for this precious gift! ”
