What can a 4,800-year-old tree—a living being older than the Egyptian pyramids—teach us about resilience and success in our fast-paced world? This discussion explores the incredible story of Methuselah, the world's oldest known tree, and unpacks its profound life lessons.

It's a powerful reminder about the value of "slow courage" and building an unbreakable legacy, one day at a time.
