Episode Synopsis

Syncopa (ta-di-di) songs: Bump Up Tomato Weevily Wheat Surfin’ U.S.A - Beach Boys Alabama Gal (or) Count On Me - Bruno Mars Find the show notes at victoriaboler.com/elemental-conversations________ This is a quick “espresso shot” episode. My hope is that it’s an actionable teaching idea that applies some larger principles, and gives you some inspiration on your drive to work.
