Ep 02 The New World

Season 2: The Stories That Built America In this episode, we explore the extraordinary story of Christopher Columbus—a determined visionary who dared to sail on a journey most believed would lead to death and disaster. Rejected, mocked, and surrounded by doubt and fear, Columbus clung to the conviction that he knew where to point the boat. But this story is about far more than discovery. It’sabout courage, faith, opposition, and the difficult reality of human nature. Through triumph and trials, we examine the man who made the impossible a reality and changed the course of history.CREDITS:Quote explaining "presentism": huge thank you to Tom Fitzgerald on Instagram @tomfitzgerald_ "Helping you get into history properly without overthinking it"Music: premiumbeat.comSUGGESTED READING:A History of the Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus, Washington Irving (1828)********************************************************DOWNLOAD FREE GUIDE: "How to Build Your Story Reservoir"Discover why the stories you love and believe in significantly shape your life—and how to choose them intentionally.What a story reservoir isHow stories shape your character and choicesHow to recognize meaningful storiesWhere to begin building your ownDownload your free guide now!************************************************Visit our bookshop and find carefully curated books in beautiful bindings.
