About this episode...

What if your teenage dreams could talk back to you?

In this powerful, funny, and deeply nostalgic episode of Life’s Learning Curve, Paul Hardt takes us on a three-act audio journey—from the echoing halls of a 1975 Midwestern high school… to adulthood, doubt, love, failure, success, and finally, clarity.                  This isn’t just a trip down memory lane.
It’s a reckoning. Pep bands. Friday-night gyms. Basement rock bands. First heartbreaks. Quiet fears we never said out loud. And the question that never really goes away:                 👉 Did we actually make it happen?

With humor, warmth, and Wonder Years–style reflection, Paul revisits the kids we thought we were becoming… and the adults we actually became. Along the way, he discovers something surprising—and comforting:

✨ Maybe “making it happen” was never about winning.
✨ Maybe it was about surviving, creating, loving, and staying curious.

If you’ve ever wondered:

  • Did my life turn out the way I hoped?

  • Was I enough back then? Am I enough now?

  • Are we still living the good old days without realizing it?

This episode is for you.

🎧 Laugh. Remember. Reflect.
Because the story isn’t over yet.

We retell ife's stories that helped us become who we are now. The stories can be quite funny, ironic, as well as painful. The human spirit fights to succeed, while at the same time, we try our best to keep adding day to day value to our lives. When we take that story-step backward, we often rediscover the humor, love and sometimes we even find needed closure we once overlooked. There is more to life than the day to day. Life passes by quickly & sometimes it’s hard to let the past go. So, with humor and optimism we present this podcast.
