Growth

In this episode of THE THREE-HEADED MAN podcast, the focus centers around the theme of growth. The group engages in a dynamic conversation that delves into various facets of personal and collective growth.

The episode commences by exploring the concept of growth itself, encompassing notions of both forward progression and retrograde motion. The group reflects on the significance of growth as a natural and transformative process, considering its relevance in personal development and expanding one's horizons.

The conversation takes an introspective turn as the group ponders whether troubled times have the potential to foster growth in individuals. They examine how adversity and challenges can be catalysts for personal growth, pushing individuals to develop resilience, adaptability, and new perspectives.

The podcast also delves into the vital role that family and community play in supporting and nurturing growth. The group reflects on the assistance and guidance received from loved ones and the impact of a supportive community in facilitating personal development.

A discussion arises as the group contemplates the experiences of individuals living in urban areas. They explore whether urban dwellers might face challenges in accessing the same level of support from family and a sense of community as those in more tightly-knit environments. The conversation delves into the potential effects of such circumstances on personal growth and the importance of seeking connection and inclusion.

Fred M Schill

I like to do. I like to make things. And, I like telling stories. I tell stories to myself and to others.

First, a short biography, which is, of course, is a story. I was born in Cleveland, played sports, and attended university. Later, after a few years in the radio business, I returned to university to study education and literature.

With a teaching certificate in my file folder, I began working in high schools, first as a strike-breaking scab substitute teacher in Cleveland's far suburbs, and then in Chicago, mostly in private high schools.

Cleveland and Chicago. My two main towns, and I escaped them both. Presently, I live in a tiny, isolated, mountain village in Spain. I am reluctant to write the name of the town because I don't like tourists. When the tourists arrive, they look at me as if I am an animal in a zoo.
