Show Notes:

Three ways to read history:

Read about events in historyRead about seasons of historyRead about persons in history

Don't only read literature that you agree with. It is important, as a leader to engage with events and people that you disagree with.

Jeff's Book

His Truth Is Marching On: John Lewis and the Power of Hope - Jon Meacham and John Lewis

Just because you loose your role in an organization or movement does not mean you should leave the organization or movement.

Sometimes the people who start with you aren't the one's who end with you.
