It only takes a moment watching the news to learn what David Gergen already knows: our current leaders have failed us. In some ways, it isn’t their fault; growing up during the Vietnam conflict, many of our leaders grew up in a deeply partisan country and have lead from that divisive position. However, Gergen, who served not one but FOUR US presidents…from both parties (Nixon, Ford, Reagan and Clinton), believes that our youth CAN be great leaders. How? We’ll chat with him today about leadership, service, and how you could be the person who helps many around you stack more Benjamins.
In our headline segment, both Jamie Dimon at JP Morgan Chase and Elon Musk are clanging the warning bell that bad times are ahead. Should you be worried? OG has opinions…and it probably isn’t what you think. We’ll also throw out the Haven Life line and tackle some of Doug’s amazing trivia. Just another average day (you know…with a dude who’s overseen and advised the making of The West Wing…) of the Stacking Benjamins Show.
Enjoy!
