Listen "Frankenstein"
Episode Synopsis
In this special Halloween edition of The Quest for Success: Legacy Behind the Legend, Dr. Jerry Cunningham takes you deep into the shadows of one of literature's most misunderstood legends—Frankenstein. You'll discover the true story behind Mary Shelley's creation, how a stormy summer night gave birth to the first work of science fiction, and why the real monster might not be who you think it is. More than a ghost story, this episode explores timeless lessons about leadership, ambition, and the cost of creation. Learn what Dr. Frankenstein, his creature, and Mary Shelley herself can teach us about the five pillars of success and how to avoid becoming the monster in your own story. Happy Halloween.
