Episode 9 - Uinta Mountains/Followed in the Woods

Our tales for today areUinta Mountains - There are certain things in life that are obviously scary and you kind of know you’ll eventually run into them; the first horror movie you watch, the first time you have to do laundry in the basement with nobody home, your first heart pounding near miss traffic accident, your first encounter with death and illness.

Confidence is the foundation of charisma, which, as we know, can take a person very far in life indeed. But, like anything, too much confidence can be a killer.

Overconfidence can even get us killed.… Thank you /DylonNotNylonThanks for coming back to our little audio campfire.
