Here’s some key takeaways from this episode: 

Rhetoric is the essence of leadership

“Charismatic, convincing, persuasion. They go hand in hand with Rhetoric “

Rhetoric functions to adjust ideas to people and people to ideas

“This is where it gets interesting for me because when I think of Rhetoric I think of persuasion.”

Make your own mind up

“For me personally a large part of that isn’t about convincing people to do what they’re told. It’s about letting people make their own minds up.”
