Is there a crisis of leadership in the United States? What role can philosophy play in righting the ship? How does philosophy apply to war and conflicts?

James speaks with Mick Mulroy about the role of ancient philosophy in modern times. Michael “Mick” Patrick Mulroy is the former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (DASD) for the Middle East. He is a retired CIA Paramilitary Operations Officer in the Special Activities Center and a United States Marine. He is a Senior Fellow for the Middle East Institute, an ABC News National Security Analyst, and a Co-founder of Lobo Institute. 

In this wide-ranging discussion, James and Mick discuss the lack of ethics training in the education system and organizational training programs, Socrates as a reluctant war hero, Stoicism for challenging times, and much more.
