Untaught Essentials

About the Podcast: What really matters? I had to ask myself this question when I faced a mortal health crisis 30 years ago in the form of an incurable, terminal illness. It forced me to clarify what was important. However, we’re rarely taught these things in school. Join me in dialogue with engaging thought leaders to help you gain more clarity, make masterful decisions, improve communication and interpersonal relationships. My goal is to create a repository of knowledge and wisdom to help guide you through these times. Who is Jeremy Hunter?
