The term self-control around the holidays usually is followed by some conversation on over eating or over drinking, but self-control is less about that in this conversation and more about the way we treat others and see the world around us. Our current culture prizes and even rewards reactionary outbursts as vindicating or justice, but a tempered response to the world around us seems to be a much more artistically minded way to approach life.
In this four-part holiday series, Ryan, Garreth and Cody are visited by four ghosts. These four ghosts can serve as warnings about what we do, why we do it, and how we can continue into a long career that doesn’t create our identity or a false sense of security but that connect us with our community, our work and our culture at-large.
