Exploring Route 66: Personal Growth, Societal Influence and the Power of Reflection

Alrighty folks, welcome back to Season 4, Episode 40 on Transacting Value!

Today we're discussing the inherent but underrated October core values of Creativity, Simplicity, and Giving as strategies for character discipline and relative success, with historian, Roamin' Rich Dinkela. If you are new to the podcast, welcome! If you're a continuing listener, welcome back!

Ever felt a burst of nostalgia when cruising down a historic highway, or pondered on how your childhood experiences shaped your core values? That's what we're diving into today with our guest, Rich, a Route 66 enthusiast who'll be shedding some light on the allure of this iconic road. We'll be travelling down memory lane, exploring the cultural impact of Route 66 on music, mob history, and small-town Americana.

We'll also be hearing from Rich about his journey of personal growth, homespun in a working-class neighborhood. His reflections on the evolution of his values over time serve as a reminder of the dance between societal influence and personal development. So, buckle up for an exploration of the complexity of personal growth, societal influence, and the power of reflection.

We wrap up our journey with a discussion on the significance of preserving history and upholding its relevance in the present. We highlight the importance of truth, clarity and good old-fashioned values in shaping our decisions and the future we want to create. Also how YouTube is playing a vital role in keeping the legacy of Route 66 alive.
