It's your life, and you get one shot to summit it. The mountain of life includes slippery footing, tottering boulders, and thinning air. You’re strong and capable but are you fully equipped to successfully summit this mountain? You don’t need clichés, pity, or cheerleader banter. You need the fellowship of wise men who walk with wise men; and we need you. (See Proverbs 15:22.) The Next Stage Podcast is produced by Sherpa Unlimited and hosted by Rob Stout.
