The Confederal Reserve Episodes
The Confederal Reserve presented by BetterPears is hosted by Dr. Jason Fugikawa who invites each episode’s guest to discuss a classical work. Modeling a conversation between friends similar to the kinds of conversations fostered by BetterPears Fellowships, The Confederal Reserve dives into insights and perspectives concerning the Great Ideas that are often overlooked and not engaged in formal studies or individual readings.
BetterPears offers better fruit for the human soul, the wisdom of our betters, in their words, in the company of good friends. To learn more about BetterPears and its offerings, please visit BetterPears.com.
