This week's guest is Lee Duncan. Lee's words: Serendipity, Temptation, and Yes.

Lee and I met over 30 years ago when we went to college together. In our conversation, we talk about Lee's journey and his three plus year long journey sailing around the world. What he's learned, what he's seen, and what comes next. You can read more about Lee and his journey at https://athenareaching.com/. I enjoyed this conversation and I hope you will too.

We also talk about a song by Arthur Lee whom we accidently called Amos Lee. Our apologies. Song is linked here.
