Lessons from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

My daughter Alyssa and I have gone through every Roald Dahl book together, reading and listening. After we finished “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” I told her, “This is a story of vice versus virtue.” She just laughed and said, “OMG!” I added, “I think I’m going to write book reports and film podcasts for each book.” And again, “OMG!” she said.

So, here we are with the first one! In this episode, I dive into Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to explore how its lessons of humility and gratitude can help someone facing a government investigation.

I talk about how Charlie’s story is really about staying grounded, appreciating the small things—like a single bite of chocolate—and focusing on what you still have, even in the toughest of times.

There’s a lot to learn from Charlie and his humble approach to life.

Next up, “The BFG!”
