The Character Lab
A New Podcast series with Shane Trotter
The Character Lab
The Character Lab is a new series on In Search of Wisdom designed to explore various aspects of character development. The series is a joint venture with my friend and previous podcast guest, Shane Trotter (author of Setting the Bar). You can expect around six episodes (one every month or two) discussing questions on character formation, virtue, community, meaning, and much more.
Why Character Matters
In this episode, we introduce the new series and discuss the importance of character formation in today’s society. We explore the impact of technology on character development, the role of community in shaping character, and the need for shared virtues. The conversation highlights the challenges and opportunities and emphasizes the pursuit of excellence and the narrow path toward personal growth.
