During the fourth episode of "Deep in the Woods," Cade Curtis and I take a stroll through his family farm in Free Home, GA. Our trek involves navigating through deep mud, cow trails, and repairing broken fences. Cade is a multi-talented individual who teaches Social Studies at a middle school, delivers bread, works at auctions, and hosts his own podcast, "Learning From Friends."

In this episode, Cade selected the word "Sonder" as a focal point for our discussion. This exceptional word is featured in the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows and refers to the realization that individuals in the background of our lives have their own intricate and fulfilling narratives, where they are the protagonist. We utilized this term to explore various subjects, such as how our experiences shape our outlooks and decisions, the significance of preserving our personal stories, and the value of taking a moment to observe our surroundings.

I hope you enjoy our conversation as we explore the word, "Sonder" while we walk around Cade Curtis' family farm in Free Home, GA.

Few Revisions:

• Cade references the song, "Four minutes, thirty-three seconds" and attributes it to Nick Gage. The correct artist is John Gage.
• The quote "A man can do what he wills, but he cannot will what he wills" was attributed to Erwin Schrodinger. The correct person is Arthur Schopenhauer.
