On episode 226, we welcome William Haldeman to discuss five great US presidents, George Washington’s prudence and humility in stepping down, FDR’s ability to communicate with the American public, his sense of confidence in navigating the Great Depression and World War 2, Ronald Reagan’s optimism in the face of Soviet communism, the necessity of it for electoral victories, podcasting as a medium for presidential hopefuls, ways in which current politicians live up to and fail to live up to these predecessors, and how future leaders can benefit from them.

William Haldeman is Vice Chancellor and Chief Strategy Officer at the University of Pittsburgh. He has also served the White House Domestic Policy Council, two US secretaries of state, and as a senior staff member to a state governor. His new book, available now, is called Meeting the Moment: Inspiring Presidential Leadership That Transformed America.
