You ever get tired of the noise of social media and just yearn for some good ole fashioned common sense?

In this episode, we sit down with Texan-to-the-bone Charles Hamm, a former Marine sergeant, retired entrepreneur, and 3x #1 International Bestselling Author. With over 75 years of life experience, Charles has worn many hats, from doting husband and grandfather to social media sensation and celebrated author.

Residing in the Texan countryside, Charles turned to social media as an outlet for his reflections on society, inclusivity, and mindful living. His authentic voice resonated, attracting an engaged following of over 26,000 fans. Encouraged by his audience, Charles compiled his musings into the acclaimed book, Ponder On It, Pilgrims: The Bucolic Mark Twain on Critter Councils, Cookie Bandits, and Texas Grit. Now sold in 26 countries, the book has received widespread praise for its witty and insightful take on self-reflection and positivity in the digital age.

During our conversation, Charles shares:
• His journey from Marine life to becoming a bestselling author.
• How growing up and living in Texas shaped his perspective on resilience and grit.
• The inspiration behind his book and its global success.
• His thoughts on inclusivity, mindfulness, and living authentically in a rapidly changing world.
• Stories from his speaking engagements with student and veteran communities across the U.S.

Join us for a conversation packed with wisdom, humor, and inspiration as Charles Hamm encourages us all to “ponder on it, pilgrims.”
