The Dov Baron Show

On November 9, 1989, the Cold War began to thaw with the fall of the Berlin Wall, and we all breathed a sigh of relief.  Then on February 24, 2022, Russia once again invaded Ukraine. Assuming things would go the same way it did in February and March 2014, when Russia invaded and annexed Crimea from Ukraine. But it didn't go that way. Many worry about the implications of that war and whether we should just butt out. Is this war different than what we've seen before? If so, why?  According to our guest, a good part of the answer is "Urban Warfare" and "meaning." He believes that Urban Warfare can teach us much about modern leadership.  John Spencer is considered by many to be the world's leading expert on urban warfare. He is also a radical thought leader, experienced war veteran, team builder, and creative mind. John is an award-winning scholar, professor, author, combat veteran, and internationally recognized expert and advisor on urban warfare and other military-related topics. He currently serves as the Chair of Urban Warfare Studies with the Madison Policy Forum. John recently served as the Chair of Urban Warfare Studies at the Modern War Institute at West Point, Co-Director of the Urban Warfare Project, and host of the Urban Warfare Project podcast. He is the author of several books, Connected Soldiers: Life, Leadership, and Social Connections in Modern War and Understanding Urban Warfare. The second was written for Ukraine civilians. That book went viral and has helped hundreds of thousands of civilians defeat the world's second-biggest military.

Productive Accidents with Peter Williams In a world where we're overworked and overstressed, it's become in vogue to get good at saying "no." As much as that makes sense, we must also consider the other side, which is getting good at saying "Yes" and getting out of our comfort zones.  . But how do you sort out what to say yes to without going into overwhelm? Additionally, what if saying yes is the pathway to both innovation and something our guest calls, Productive Accidents?  . Our guest for the next two episodes is Peter Williams. Peter grew up in rural Australia on a BMX and skateboard and went on to have a global career in finance. He is a serial volunteer serving on the Music for Life International boards, based in New York; Resolve Foundation, based in Hong Kong; and Treasury & Innovation Professional at Citi. Peter is an Advisory Board Chair, Author, Speaker, and Podcast Host.

Our guest for the next two episodes is Normal Bacal  What is in front of you that you may secretly believe you can't do?  Imagine yourself on the banks of a river you've never seen before; you don't know what formed that river, where the twists and turns are, or whether it will be turbulent or smooth waters ahead.  Leadership requires putting our boat in the water, frequently with little information. We must constantly assess where we are going, where we've been, and where we are.   Charting your course down the river of life, the future of business, and leadership is challenging. Will we even get our boat in the water? Will we spend our time looking back at where we came from, or maybe we'll ignore the past and hold our eyes on the prize?  Norman Bacal knows all about this because he had it all. He worked his way from obscurity to the top of his profession—a Canadian film and television finance specialist for 25 years, representing Canadian producers and major film studios.  He went on to build an iconic Canadian law firm home to two retired Canadian prime ministers.  In 2014, instead of retiring, he rewired himself as a consultant to professional firms; he became a motivational speaker and author. However, something happened and Norm fell fast and hard. Once he processed the pain and the hurt, Norm applied techniques that rewired who he had believed he was on his journey to success. Norm is living proof that with the right skills, tools, and mindset, you do what terrifies you and be successful in it.
