Charles’ most prominent teachings in his book, ‘Ponder On It, Pilgrims’, are based on living your life by coming back to the four golden questions. What would a wise person do? What would a wise person say? What would a wise person think? What would work wise person feel?

Let Charles introduce your audience to how the use of the four golden questions has shaped his life for the better and granted him insightful experiences.

As self-proclaimed keeper of the legends and lore of Round Mountain, Charles Hamm has a story or two to share about the animals frequenting his side of the forest. The tales of his mountain rescue dogs, the raccoon he nicknamed Roscoe, or even the deer gracing his orchard gift us with fundamental life lessons told in the humorous tone and Texas slang of our cowboy cavalier.

Charles Hamm, like the sages through the ages, preaches “Know thy-self!” A well-lived and fulfilling life begins with knowing exactly who we are. Learn how Charles finds purpose in his self-reflections and draws out the difficult truths and internal battles in order to step out of his comfort zone and achieve greatness.

As a Vietnam Marine sergeant, Charles Hamm talks about the unanticipated sacrifices one makes in the military, as well as the difficult circumstances veterans go through as they reacclimate to society. Though Charles does not want to talk about his experiences during the war, his stories of coming back from Vietnam will teach listeners the value of learning from veterans, because if we do not learn from our history we are doomed to repeat it.

Charles Hamm’s take on defining needs versus desires, the challenges we face in our daily lives, and what it takes to succeed, grant your audience a fresh perception of the world. To quote the cowboy, “Often it’s how you look at things that’s the issue. Everybody thought Goliath was too big to hit. David thought he was too big to miss.”
