Convo with author, musician, philosopher Rob Howat - ep28
Join host Mel Trumble in a captivating conversation with multi-talented author Rob Howat as they delve into the power of individuals to shape communities and the significance of developing a positive mindset. Being creative is not only for “artists”, and neither is personal growth a solitary journey. In this wide-ranging conversation, Rob shares truths about personal growth and societal improvement that will inspire creative individuals of all types who are seeking a better future. Their conversation also touched on:
- The impact of the Industrial Revolution on the lives of the working class,
- The extensive influence of religion and spirituality on societal organization and behavior,
- The complex issues surrounding selling books in the publishing industry,
- Acknowledging the influential role of historical figures in ushering societal changes.
(on the importance of a healthy family life) If the family doesn’t do it right, then I don’t think society can properly pick it up. The individual, through their character, can, by developing a positive way of thinking and...throwing away the criticism of everything and everybody around them. - Rob Howat
