About this episode
What is a sage? It's a man who is mature in wisdom, which is a skill for navigating well through a complex world. He knows how to sharpen an arrow, stalk an elk, run a small business, cultivate a strong household, and so much more.
In this episode, Eric Conn and Dan Berkholder talk about how men can become sages, and why it's important. So many of our wilderness heroes were deep, thoughtful, well-read men, something we aspire to be today.
