Time, Tact, And Tolerance

Send us a text and let us know what topic you would like to hear next! Jim Hopley’s father once told him there were three essentials in life: time, tact and tolerance—and that Jim had none of them. Jim reckons he’s proved him wrong. In this episode, Dan, Reuben and Tony sit down with Jim to explore a Masonic journey spanning more than four decades. From five generations in one lodge to the Royal Arch, Knights Templar, Rose Croix and beyond, his curiosity has taken him through a remarkable range of experiences. Jim shares what those experiences have brought to everyday life: patience with others, the confidence to give people a chance, friendships through difficult times, and knowing when to put family first. He also explains the diplomatic agreement that keeps his lodge expenses and his wife’s musical instruments peacefully out of conversation. A conversation about lifelong learning, service and the continuing work of building your own temple—with a few laughs along the way. Support the show Masonic Mic Website
