How to Live a Good Life - On the Porch with Pop
Description
This is the third in a series of conversations with my Pop.
In this episode of In the Smoke Shop with Pop, we take the conversation out of the smokeshop and onto the back porch.
I sat down with my dad—94 years old, sharp as ever, and full of perspective—to talk about Words to Live By.
It’s a theme that’s more than just old sayings or clichés; it’s about what’s really stuck with him over the years. From the advice he took (and didn’t take) to the moments that shaped him, this episode is full of that real-life wisdom you can only get from someone who’s been around the block a few times.
Pop also takes questions from a few listeners to theMangoTimes who asked him about his favorite decade of life and if he ever questioned his decision to be a parent and bring kids into our crazy world.
I finish up this episode with a few quick-fire questions to see how quick he is on his feet (or chair)—his answers might surprise you.
