Thank you for producing this program. I am so grateful to be introduced to Taylor Mali. His words support me and my family’s commitment to the development of minds and hearts and the empowerment of all. He articulates what wealth, value and power really are. They are about the “what for” not the “how much”.
I was captivated by the show and want a copy of it to play for my grandson. Bravo!
Terrific program. Especially liked the segment about what teachers make. Will download this program and share it with friends.
Thanks!

This was a wonderful program–one that reminded me of how much I respect good teachers everywhere.
How can I send a link to this to my niece, who is a teacher?
