I read a biography of United States General George Patton titled “Patton: The Man Behind The Legend.”

As with every episode, I read the entire book, highlighted everything that struck me as important, and then went through it two more times to refine and annotate the most important lessons from General Patton’s life before sitting down and discussing them with you. 

General Patton served in World War 1 and World War 2 and is one of the greatest military leaders to ever live. His life is one of immense inspiration, doubt, fear, courage and bravery, challenges, and an unrelenting desire and resolution to fulfill his destiny.

You and I can learn a lot from his story and this episode we will do just that.

I read "Churchill" by Paul Johnson.

WInston Churchill was born the half-American son of a British aristocrat. He would go on to become a prisoner of war and war hero, prolific writer, painter, and public speaker, and most notably, the prime minister of Englad during World War 2, when they most needed him.

He lived a full life and there is much to be learned from his life.

I read “Benjamin Franklin: An American Life"

Benjamin Franklin was born into a middle class family, ranaway from home as a teen, and became one of America's best diplomats, scientists, political thinkers, and founding fathers who dined with European kings before he passed away.
