The CEO & the Rocking Chair

In this heartfelt episode of 'Saturdays with Lowell,' we delve into the moving story of how a simple rocking chair workshop became a life-changing experience for a busy executive, Robert Bucci.

Set in October 2021, our host, a former corporate executive turned nomad, recounts her journey of trading the boardroom for a life of simplicity and community. This decision led her to a small town where she met Lowell Morgan, an extraordinary man who left academia 40 years ago to live off the grid.

Through weekly meetings, Lowell shares his wisdom on sustainability and resilience, which inspired the creation of this podcast.

Today, Lowell narrates the tale of Robert Bucci, a sunglasses manufacturer whose life transformed after attending a week-long, handmade rocking chair class. The story exemplifies the wisdom of slowing down, connecting with the land, and living a purposeful life.
