4184: Five Things I Learned from Sourdough Bread by Anthony Ongaro on Intentional Living

Anthony Ongaro spent a week making sourdough bread and found that the lessons from the kitchen extend far beyond baking. He argues that a six-day process rewires your relationship with delayed gratification, forcing you to love the work itself rather than obsessing over the final loaf. Simple recipes, he notes, are rarely easy to execute well, and the daily ritual of feeding a starter mirrors the small, consistent habits that leave you prepared for bigger opportunities. This episode offers a gentle reflection on patience, practice, and the value of showing up every day.
