Can America rise to the challenge of producing leaders for the toughest times? Join us on "Unpacked Podcast" as we confront the stark leadership void that has become increasingly evident in the political and social spheres. I'm Ron Harvey, your host, and I'm sitting down with Robert Hargrove, an executive coach and seasoned author, to explore why our highest offices lack the robust training seen in military and corporate environments.

What does it take to influence and inspire? From the ambition of Abraham Lincoln to the strategic genius of Lyndon Baines Johnson, we explore how courage and risk-taking drive social change. We highlight the pressing need to overhaul our educational systems to better prepare future leaders. Wrapping up, we delve into the transformative power of coaching with a preview of our Masterful Coaching Certification Program.
