Episode Synopsis

In this week’s episode of the Teach Different Podcast, hosts Dan and Steve Fouts, along with special guest Jarvis Funches, unpack a powerful quote by Confucius: “Before embarking on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.” They explore the meaning of the quote and discuss how revenge impacts one's life from Jarvis's unique perspective, shaped by his time in prison. They emphasize the importance of self-control, setting boundaries, and seeking wisdom from teachers. Jarvis shares his personal journey of transformation and the role his son plays in keeping him on a positive path.
