Episode 139: On Fixing and Building Things

from The Old School Hosted by Dr. Steven Bourgeois and Mr. Ross Miller

Your two favorite hosts are back as we discuss the nature of building and fixing things. With Mr. Miller's recent foyer into woodworking and carpentry, the two gentlemen discuss some of the ideas of famed woodworker Nick Offerman and expound upon that to touch on topics of self-efficacy, the happiness index and blue zones. The hosts expertly weave the seemingly disparate ideas while discussing the importance of being handy and how it could help the individual and the community as well. Next week - Mr. Miller rings in from Florida as we discuss the history of the state in general and Disney World in particular. You won't want to miss it.
