Episode notes

As Prime Minister, you are a role model and set the tone for Estonian society. Can we help each other in ways that actually make everyone better? Or must it be one person for him or herself? I think trusting people to do their jobs and letting it go also is quite important.

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.
