  <title>Welcome to the Perennial Pen Podcast!</title>
  <description>Hello and welcome to Perennial Pen (What Matters Most). Perennial Pen is a family-friendly podcast about memory, meaning, legacy, and the conversations that shape us.&amp;amp;nbsp; This podcast is hosted by me - hi, I'm Nate Birt, an author, journalist and co-founder of Perennial Pen with my wife, Dr. Julie Birt. Each episode explores what people almost lost, learned too late, preserved on purpose, or wish their families had talked about sooner. Or, whatever else might be on their mind that can teach us all something about how to live better. Through warm guest conversations, thoughtful reflection, and practical prompts, this show is designed to help you name what matters most in your life before time, illness, or distance makes it harder. You’ll hear stories about family, identity, love, regret, purpose, faith, keepsakes, and the ordinary moments that made us who we are.&amp;amp;nbsp; If you love eavesdropping on conversations at your favorite corner cafe - you know, when people drop their guard and just get real - you've come to the right place. Because I'm dedicated to helping YOU live with greater intention in your every day life. This show offers guests an opportunity to reflect on the biggest and most meaningful moments of lives. And then we'll reflect together and identify one next step you can take - something we've learned from that very special guest - to create greater purpose and meaning in your own life. AND --- richer relationships with the people around you, especially your besties - family, friends, mentors.&amp;amp;nbsp; And hey, one more thing. IF you know someone in your life whose character - the way they show up and live life - really inspires you, email me at nate@silvermaplestrategies.com. Again that's nate@silvermaplestrategies.com.&amp;amp;nbsp; I'm actively recruiting guests to come on the show, and I'd love to sit down and have a conversation with them. With their permission, of course!&amp;amp;nbsp; Stick around - we'll be back with our first full episode very soon.&amp;amp;nbsp; Take care, and talk soon.&amp;amp;nbsp; </description>
