EPISODE DESCRIPTION

Leadership is deeply personal. As people change, the way they lead has to change, too. Few leaders have navigated as much change as President Joe Biden. He was elected to the Senate at 29 and will end his time as President at 82. The number of things he has witnessed and been a part of over the course of his career is remarkable. His journey has been shaped by unlikely friendships and profound personal loss. I had the honor to sit down with President Biden at the White House to reflect on how his experiences have influenced his approach to both life and leadership. I chose to stay clear of politics and instead focused on the lessons that are applicable to all Americans…and indeed all people. I hope you find it insightful and inspiring. This…is A Bit of Optimism. ⏰ Timestamps 0:00 Intro 0:44 Advice for young leaders 4:21 How to stay humble as POTUS 10:46 The decline of trust in government 16:00 Political division in America 18:30 Growing as a leader in the Senate 20:01 What happens with world leaders behind closed doors? 23:16 Have Americans lost their idealism? 27:26 Biden's proudest achievement 31:50 Protecting those who protect others + + + Simon is an unshakable optimist. He believes in a bright future and our ability to build it together. Described as “a visionary thinker with a rare intellect,” Simon has devoted his professional life to help advance a vision of the world that does not yet exist; a world in which the vast majority of people wake up every single morning inspired, feel safe wherever they are and end the day fulfilled by the work that they do.
