Today is George Washington’s 289th birthday and the Leaders and Legends podcast is celebrating it by interviewing the Father of Our Country’s latest biographer. David O. Stewart’s account focuses on Washington’s interest in, and talent for, politics. He never lost an election and created the traditions and practice of the American presidency. Washington also walked away from the most powerful position in the United States—not once, but twice. Happy Birthday Mr. President. The book, "George Washington: The Political Rise of America's Founding Father,” is available for purchase at Amazon.
