Why did I do this show?
I’ve been thinking a lot about the relationship between leadership and risk. Then holy cow I learn that one of the most celebrated military leaders in a generation wrote a book about leadership disguised as a book about risk!? An incredible opportunity for me!
What did I learn?
I learned that the most distinguishing characteristic of Special Forces is (what I call) their moral clarity. An astounding and profound thing.
What was my favorite part?
Definitely Stan’s reaction to how President Bush judges leaders. Deeper than it seems!
