"I didn't know how to swim parallel to the shore then. I didn't yet know how to go with the flow." DYING TO KNOW MYSELF IN TIME , originated as a talk prepared by the author for students at the University of Connecticut Stamford in March of 2021, and since has become an insightful companion for those seeking to make an investment in life balance and inner growth while utilizing the only currency of consequence; time. This intimate portrait asks us to journey into ourselves and outside of comfort; to travel to places where purpose and legacy are waiting. Here, infinitude meets mortality, casting a common line we will all cross. Brians Ragusa insists that the ends we meet are reasons to forge new beginnings. Can a more thoughtful approach to communication, slow our fast paced reactions enough to better serve ourselves? Can our trauma inform our responses? Jump onboard this quest for authenticity, and choose whether your past is an anchor or the sails to send you forth.
