The C-Suite Show Podcast: Wisdom of the Texas Mark Twain

I was interviewed on the podcast of Mr. Conrad Madsen. We had a wonderful conversation about a number of things. Take a listen; I think you will enjoy it.

The Bond of Blood

"I extended my hand, smiling but fighting back tears. He paused for a moment, looking at me, then ignored my hand and embraced me with a big bear hug."

If That Ole Sycamore Could Talk

"He looked at me and spoke, 'I bet you could tell some tales.' This seemed to intensify his grief and he looked back at the water, sobbing."

My Search For John and Alex

"In rural America, cemeteries were often family plots, scattered about the countryside. Many are lost to time, which made my quest difficult."

Why Crows Hate Owls

"The crows of Round Mountain met with all the owls, and peace was made after all this time, much to the approval of all the Round Mountain critters."

Old Fashioned Fathers

"I remember how nervous I felt. I was about to defy my father. Daddy had rules when I was growing up, and I was about to break two of the big ones."

Somebody Stop This Thang!

"As I marked my last birthday, memories flooded my mind from times of life, death, joy, sorrow, and grief. I thought of the good times and bad."

    Well, the manuscript for my second book, "Texas Grit", is ready to go. I finished it yesterday morning. It has a Texas Grit saying for each day of the year. You can see the format by looking at the first page. It will be 71 pages of ponderin.

    I have now started writing what will be my third book. You're gonna love this one, folks. I'm fixin' to take on the world!

    I want to thank you wonderful people in my LinkedIn family for your encouragement, and inspiration. I never dreamed of being a writer when I retired. I believe God used you to inspire me, and I'm so greatful. I was a bored old man sitting on my cabin porch wondering what I would do in my remaining years, and now I'm having the time of my life. God's richest blessing to each of you.
