Episode notes

When I went to university, I thought that I'm definitely a good person. And therefore, I will not choose a subject or a topic where my father or my mother or my brother is already there and they will compare me to them. So my mother is a doctor, so that was out of the question. Father is a politician, totally absolute no-no. And my brother is in the finances. So what was left was law. And I went into study law and I became attorney at law."

Kaja Kallas is the current Prime Minister of Estonia – and the first woman to hold the position. Her perceptive communication and bold action against the threat of Russian authoritarianism has bolstered her reputation as a leader we should all be paying attention to. The Prime Minister talks to Adam about what we can learn from the past when thinking about future consequences, the risks of being inauthentic, and what qualities distinguish the best leaders from the rest.
