Fellow warriors, we conclude this amazing first season with today’s episode, Death and Resurrection.

Taj examines death through the prism of legendary warriors such as the Royal Knights and Miyamoto Musashi. He explores the ways in which famed innovator Steve Jobs used the specter of death to live a more meaningful and focused life. Taj recounts how a revolutionary who helped give birth to Bangladesh and helped found its government came to grips with his own mortality on the battlefield to see through his heroics. Taj explains how the Buddha and the Quran contextualize liberation and life through the lens of death. He posits that society has coopted the language of death in terms of academic and professional “deadlines” due to an implicit understanding of how it can help yield greater productivity. He describes the essential character traits of his late grandmother, Zohra Tajuddin, which helped define her legacy beyond her mortality. Taj describes author David Brooks’ concept of resume qualifications versus eulogy qualifications to illuminate perspectives on fulfilled living vital to any true hero or heroine.

The next season of Quest and Conquest is due to resume at the end of January. In the meantime, fellow warriors, we look forward to seeing you on Facebook and Instagram, where you can stay tuned for more news and regular content.
