This is all rather fitting as you might expect for someone George Bailey was patterned after.<\/p>\n<p>We also have a brief message from a sponsor,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.skillshare.com\/brainfood\"> Skillshare.\u00a0<\/a>Help support this show and learn a lot of interesting new skills, as well as TWO MONTHS FREE using the following link <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skillshare.com\/brainfood\">https:\/\/www.skillshare.com\/brainfood<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Over the course of the episode we also discuss in depth that little known natural disaster that was one of the most devastating in U.S. history and how it helped shaped the fate of California and certain industries there.<\/p>\n<p>We then wrap the whole thing up bringing it back around to It&#8217;s a Wonderful Life, as well as some interesting related <span id=\"bonusfacts\">Bonus<\/span> Facts.<\/p>\n<p>On another note, if you could do us a huge favor and rate and review this show in whatever podcasting platform you&#8217;re using (including hopefully giving us some feedback related to the new format), we would be extremely grateful.
