In our previous Episode 157 we heard about Mothers’ Day Movement and the African Education Program and I was struck with the fact that $35B is spent on Mother’s Day gifts. How could that be? And what’s the history of the holiday? And where’s the motivation coming from? So I dug into some articles and searched for insights I thought you might find interesting.
