In this episode, we unpack biblical wisdom, intentional living, faith, mindset, and how slowing down long enough to notice life might be the most productive thing you do all day.Here’s what happened.I was on my way to record a podcast episode — feeling focused, busy, and probably more important than I actually was — when I stopped at the dog park and ran into my friend George and his Chihuahua, Vinny.Now George has a superpower.He remembers things.Not surface-level things. Real things. Conversations from months ago. Details that make you realize… oh wow, this guy actually listens.Within minutes, what started as casual small talk turned into a masterclass on life, AI (which, by the way, has been around way longer than we think), raising kids in a changing world, and why I should probably start playing chess with my son more often.No stage.No keynote.No paid mastermind.Just wisdom… sitting at a dog park.And it hit me: sometimes God doesn’t interrupt our schedule with lightning bolts — He just asks us to slow down long enough to notice who’s already standing in front of us.This episode connects Proverbs 26 with the idea of Inchstones — the small, intentional choices we make daily that quietly stack into the milestones of our lives. In this conversation, we explore:What Proverbs 26 teaches about wisdom vs. foolishness (and yes, it still applies today)Why praise creates presence — and presence opens the door to wisdomHow rushing causes us to miss the “masters” already around usThe difference between knowing things and living wiselyWhy discipline in praise produces perfect timing… ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-vibe-with-kelly-cardenas-963762/episodes/771-the-wisdom-we-miss-when-we-rush-proverbs-26/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-vibe-with-kelly-cardenas-963762/771-the-wisdom-we-miss-when-we-rush-proverbs-26.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
