TIL 37/40 Is Peace Possible in a Violent World

🎙️ New Episode Announcement

Can we remain nonviolent in a violent world? In this episode, we wrestle with one of leadership’s oldest, hardest questions. We trace the arc from Gandhi’s "ahimsa" and King’s “soul force” to Churchill’s refusal to appease fascism and Mandela’s road from resistance to reconciliation.

This isn’t just a theory for a classroom; it’s the daily paradox leaders face when they must hold dignity as the compass while confronting real harm.

We’ll explore what nonviolence can accomplish, where it meets its limits, and how trauma-informed leaders avoid naïveté without surrendering their humanity. You’ll also hear the two questions every leader must answer before the crisis hits: What cause am I willing to die for? And what cause am I willing to take life for? If you don’t know, someone else may decide

for you.

If you lead in government, education, nonprofits, faith communities, business—or at home—this conversation will equip you to pursue peace while preparing to protect what matters.
