This episode is about our core. We are the WizeGuys, and our perspective is centered on wisdom , so, let’s get right down in it and ask some of the tough questions. And, as always, our conversation will be roguish, as we weave in these core values and, as always, we’ll share a mystic MacNugget. Let’s get at it… Hey Stu… “Namaste, all of you beautifully, exotic cocktails… Comment on Facebook, email us, we want to more of these stories! Manifesto points to consider: All of them in one way or another! THE SETUP- Wisdom: The quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgment; the quality of being wise.

Emotional intelligence. The ability to assimilate divine ideas. Foolishness in the eyes of the world. Mentorship Be wise Because: We will make better decisions. Life will be less…stressful. Relationships will be better.Y You will have more peace/better health/more fun! Raise better families as we cultivate it in next generations. It’s the remnants that have always under girded society.
