Swimming Upstream Radio Show kicks off December in search of inspiration from Abraham Lincoln from The Lincoln Guy D.L. Fowler. Host Dorothy Wilhelm interviews the author about the challenges that our 16th president faced in his short time in the White House and what we can learn from him to help deal with today’s trying era in American history.
The conversation centers around the themes of unity and reconciliation, emphasizing the importance of recognizing our shared humanity and common ground in order to bridge divides.
You can find D.L. Fowler’s work and books at dlfowler.com.
