Perennial Pen (What Matters Most): A Silver Maple Strategies Podcast with Nate Birt

Perennial Pen is a podcast for people who miss deep conversation and still believe the best questions in life deserve more than a rushed answer. I’m Nate Birt, and each episode is an invitation to slow down, pull up a chair, and listen in on the kinds of stories, memories, and life lessons that usually don’t come out unless somebody makes the time and asks with care. We’ll talk about family, faith, regret, joy, keepsakes, growing older, what lasts, and what we hope the people we love will remember about us when all is said and done. This isn’t polished advice from on high. It’s closer to a fireside chat, a front-porch visit, or one of those long conversations that leaves you feeling more awake to your own life. My hope is that you’ll hear something here that helps you ask better questions, tell the truth a little more bravely, and start leaving a legacy now, while there’s still life in your veins and people to love. If you’re hungry for deeper connection—with your parents, your kids, your friends, your own story, or simply the life you’re living—welcome. There’s a seat for you here.
