Life's Learning Curve

Society & Culture


It was the summer Paul went from simply existing, -to caring passionately about people, life & ideas, age 15-16. Paul's influencers: His friend Fred, his older brother Steve, a wheelchair bound drum instructor AND author and Beat Generation novelist Jack Kerouac. In this episode, Paul hits the open road. What he discovered changed his life forever. Freedom + No Reponsibilities often equals…  Well you’ll find out…    This podcast episode is a retelling of realized dreams accompanied by absolutely NO planning at all. Paul begins to appreciate & apply the existing world just outside his door. Paul develops wanderlust, and chooses to emulate the Americana based counter culture book ‘On the Road’ by Jack Kerouac. With an appetite for adventure and all the ignorance of his age, Paul learns to survive on the kindness of others.
