Episode notes

As an undergrad at Berkeley, I never took classes based on what I was curious about. It was always like, what do I think will get me a job? And that was a huge mistake because I did terrible in all those classes. So naturally, that raises a lot of questions about the education system itself. If you were tasked with redesigning the entire thing from the ground up, what would you change about it?

In this podcast episode, we sit down with Gautam Mukunda, a Research Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School's Center for Public Leadership, to discuss what we can learn about leadership from presidential elections. Drawing on insights from his book 'Picking Presidents', which examines the qualities that make for successful leaders, Mukunda provides a fascinating analysis of filtered and unfiltered presidents alike. Whether you're a political junkie or simply interested in the qualities that make for effective leadership, this episode is sure to provide plenty of food for thought.
