We are drowning in information while starving for wisdom. | Mana Bombs Episode 8

As the year comes to a close, it’s time to reflect and prepare for 2025 with a refreshed mindset. We’re talking about how we’re all drowning in information yet starving for wisdom—pretty deep, right? With social media and tech bombarding us with endless data, it’s easy to get lost. But, as we’ve discovered, true wisdom is about learning from life experiences, not just facts and figures.

This episode is all about finding that balance between knowledge and wisdom, understanding what truly matters, and not getting caught up in the endless swirl of information. Come along for the journey as we share personal stories, cultural insights, and the importance of embracing life’s lessons, just like our ancestors did.
