Did you know Leonardo was an illegitimate child born during what scholars have called a ‘Golden Age’ for Bastards?

How did he fuel his curiosity? This was a man who believed ‘learning never exhausts the mind.’ That is to say he was always learning. His early years were spent living on his father’s family estate in Vinci. During this period of his life, he was also influenced by his uncle, who had a love of nature and had a hand in rearing him during his formative years. He had a very short formal schooling, he was largely an autodidact.

We talk education, growing up in 60’s, raising children and grandchildren and a few other fun topics. The episode is rough around the edges, has a few errors,

Recently, without thinking twice, I picked up a crayon and began to color my self calm with my kids. It was only after a couple of minutes that I came to a few realizations: 1) This is therapeutic and calming. This moment of zen was short lived, because I also realized; 2) I don’t even have kids and I was coloring by myself. But it did get the curious and creative hamsters on their respective wheels and here we are. It’s May. And according to NAMI, the National Alliance to Mental Illness, it’s Mental Health Awareness Month. During this show
