We live in a time when being connected is as much an expectation as a necessity.  We have these devices that can do everything for us.  And, as our society continues to push us to be connected, some of us are experiencing overload or burnout.  I’m one of those people.  Thousands of years ago, ancient humans gathered around the fire and shared their stories… they were connected in a way that we can’t even begin to understand.  They all had a part to play in the success of their tribe.  Our world tends to focus on the concepts of self and the successes of the individual… you can see it throughout social media.  Everyone wants to be a star… to be famous… to shine bright.    We have been losing our connection to each other for some time and my goal with this show is to return some of the joys of tribal life to our modern version of daily life.  We’re going to talk about family, our experiences and the importance of having a ‘crew’… or a tribe.  I don’t have all the answers, in fact, I’m looking for my own and I hope you will join me along the way.   www.campfirewisdompodcast.com campfirewisdom@gmail.com IG: @GregStuetze Music by Shaun Cromwell
