  • Episode 368 - CRASHED INTO SUCCESS

    In this episode of "The Thick and Mystic Moment" podcast, host Robert John Hadfield delves into the nature of change, both personal and societal. He explores the two types of changes we face: those forced upon us and those we impose on ourselves. Through historical examples from 1903, including the Wright brothers' first flight, the debut of the silent film "The Great Train Robbery," and a major market crash, Robert illustrates how monumental changes can reshape civilization and how individuals must navigate these shifts.

    The focal point of the episode is Mary Roberts Rinehart, a prolific author who turned personal tragedy into a remarkable writing career. Born in 1876, Rinehart faced a financial catastrophe during the 1903 market crash, losing her savings and plunging into debt. Driven by necessity, she began writing to support her family. Despite immense personal challenges and a demanding daily schedule, Rinehart sold 45 stories in her first year and went on to become one of the most successful authors of her time.

    Robert shares Rinehart's inspirational journey, emphasizing the importance of perseverance, hard work, and a positive attitude in the face of adversity. He draws parallels to his own experiences during the 2008 housing crash, highlighting how setbacks can lead to unforeseen opportunities and success.

    This episode underscores the power of resilience and the potential for personal growth and achievement in response to life's challenges. Through Rinehart's story and his own reflections, Robert encourages listeners to embrace change and transform obstacles into stepping stones for success.
