Thank you for joining us for our 7 day a week, 7 minutes of wisdom podcast. This is Day 34 of our Trek and in honor of Independence Day in the United States, yesterday we started a 4-day series of episodes in which we are consulting one of our founding fathers, Benjamin Franklin, who was known for his wisdom and practical sage advice.
Today we are recording our podcast from our studio at The Big House in Marietta, Ohio. It was a pretty light day for work, but I was able to get out and mow the entire lawn and just finished up before it started to rain. With the help of my brother Jack and his son Robert, who live next door, we were able to move most of the furniture into our newly renovated office upstairs. I just have to finish by moving the shelving units that I use for my standing desks. On the day this podcast airs, July 4th, I should be able to sand the floor in the “Eating Area.” I hope to be able to put a couple coats of polyurethane on it before we head back to North Carolina for 12 days.
On our Trek today, we continue our review of the 85 practical tips written by Benjamin Franklin which are called The Way of Wealth. Wealth here is not just referring to material gain but also what truly creates a life of abundance in all areas.

When consumed regularly, these nuggets of truth and wisdom help us to grow and mature and to become healthy, wealthy, and wise in all areas of life. Let’s start right in:
