(image source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_lion) Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Natasha Krech discuss Panthera atrox, which might also be Panthera leo atrox, making this an extinct subspecies rather than species. Which would be lame. I want differences in my prehistoric monsters! From the Pleistocene epoch, this 7-foot cat is perfectly themed for this great national holiday around this episode's release… that holiday in question being Canada Day of course. These were in Canada too, so it fits with that important holiday I suppose. Can't think of any other major holidays of note around this time. Want to further support the show?

A new year begins with a familiar story – Middle East turmoil – and two plots twists of late: US forces striking Yemen's Houthi rebels while trying to safeguard Red Sea maritime traffic; and Iran firing missiles in the directions of Pakistan, Iraq, and Syria, which tests western resolve. Joel Rayburn, a Hoover Institution visiting fellow and member of Hoover's Middle East and the Islamic World Working Group, and Bernard Haykel, a Princeton University professor of Near Eastern Studies and noted expert on Yemen, discuss strategic options in the Middle East including how to curb Iranian aggression, strengthening ties with regional allies, and reintroducing the notion of American-led deterrence.

Our story today revolves around a heroic journey of one cat that apparently walked (and swam) from the Black Hills of South Dakota to the green estates of Greenwich, CT, looking for love. The Connecticut lion serves as vehicle for the larger story of the would-be repatriation of the East by mountain lions making forays from the eastern edge of the Rockies across the Great Plains, where they haven't lived for a century or more. Reminiscent of US war on predators in the early 1900's, bogus science, intolerance and draconian hunts, these pioneering lions are getting hammered by hunters and state agencies, essentially imposing a gauntlet against the lion's eastward movements, and worse, this model of intolerance is being copied elsewhere. The news of coexistence coming out of California, while uplifting, is a world apart from the societal and cultural attitudes of America's rural heartland towards our reigning big cat.

The elusive, solitary and imperiled American Lion: puma concolor, cougar, panther, ghost cat, is the largest of the small cat species and roamed the full range of the continental United States and Europe, that is until the late 1600s when practically every nation on earth put out a bounty on them. By 1931 the US Congress passes the Animal Damage Control Act, giving the Secretary of Agriculture broad authority to expand the destruction of mountain lions, wolves, coyotes, bobcats, prairie dogs, gophers, ground squirrels, jackrabbits, and other animals injurious to agriculture, horticulture, forestry, husbandry, game, or domestic animals, or that carried disease. The program was only dismantled after cougars could no longer be found. Although they are still hunted today, the mountain exists because it is so good at hiding from us. With our guests Lynn Cullen and Korinna Domingo of the Mountain lion foundation, we discuss the current threats facing this enigmatic cat of many names.

Historian, journalist, editor and biographer Jon Meacham has never shied away from challenging subjects.  American Lion, his study of the presidency of Andrew Jackson, captured one of America's most controversial and consequential figures for the 21st century, and brought its author the Pulitzer Prize.  He joins us on this episode to talk about The Soul of America: The Battle for Our Better Angels, a study of the urgent moments, from Reconstruction through early 20th century battles over immigration, McCarthyism, racism and equal rights, that have tested the national character — and give us, he writes, an opportunity to better understand what we can be in the here and now. 

On Feb. 6, a week after President Donald Trump’s first State of the Union Address, Pulitzer Prize-winner and Visiting Distinguished Professor Jon Meacham sat down to discuss the president’s first year in office on the latest episode of The Zeppos Report podcast. “Let’s start with some general reactions to the president’s first year. … Do we have to nest him in some sort of historical context before we jump too far ahead to say there’s never been anything like this before?” Vanderbilt Chancellor Nicholas S. Zeppos asked to open the conversation. Meacham said he views the Trump presidency so far as being unprecedented in “tone and culture.” But when it comes to the actual policy, he thinks Trump is operating within a traditional Republican orthodoxy. “I don’t think another Republican actually would have ruled, in substance, much differently,” Meacham said. “One of the things about Trump is it’s damn near impossible to separate the style from the substance because the style, frankly, is for some repellent and for others refreshing.” Throughout the conversation Meacham and Zeppos compared Trump to earlier historical eras, including the McCarthy hearings, the Nixon White House and the Vietnam War. They also touched on this year’s upcoming congressional elections, pointing to the Tennessee race for U.S. Senate between Republican Marsha Blackburn and Democrat Phil Bredesen as a race that could have national implications. Meacham often joins Zeppos for on-stage discussions as part of the roundtable format of the Chancellor’s Lecture Series. He is the author of American Lion, a biography of Andrew Jackson, which won a Pulitzer Prize in 2009. His latest book, Destiny and Power, a biography of George Herbert Walker Bush, was a No. 1 New York Times bestseller and named one of the year’s best books by both the Washington Post and the New York Times. The podcast is available on SoundCloud, Stitcher, Google Play, iTunes, YouTube and The Zeppos Report website.

Ken helps us understand the magic of questions, from conversations with our spouse or coworker, to interviews with Coach K and President Jimmy Carter.   Intro: Hey everyone and welcome to the All-Star Leader Podcast, where together we learn about leadership from the best and brightest, and keep it fun by connecting it to our passion for sports! Today it is my honor and privilege to have the opportunity to interview someone who Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski called “a young Charlie Rose,” and Dave Ramsey has labeled “one of the best interviewers in the country. So no pressure on me right? Ken Coleman is the host of the top rated EntreLeadership Podcast, a show that is part of the Ramsey Solutions organization, and carries the tagline “of leaders, by leaders, and for leaders…” He is not a fan of bios so we're not going to spend any more time here except to say welcome. Ken thanks for coming on the show! Interview: As I mentioned in your introduction, your calling card is asking great questions. When did you become interested in asking questions, and what have you learned is the key to getting the best responses? Not a specific life moment Every human being comes into the world with curiosity; look at toddlers! He is unsatisfied with a lack of answers; his father and now he loves history and loves to learn A big moment came when he wound up interviewing Mike Krzyzewski at the last minute, when Coach K interrupted him and paid him a compliment with his interviewing Really, all questions are is a conversation. Maybe the stature of the guest is different and the questions are more specific, but really they're just conversations The world would be a better place if we were having more specific conversations on purpose When we're learning we're growing and when we're growing we're doing good things (Daniel follow up on the Coach K interview – when it was clear he was saying something totally new) Ken asked him a question that took him down a rabbit trail on purpose; and he was engaging with him This gave him the confidence to ask a follow up question rather than simply read the next question on the card Ken went with his guest somewhere he was already going The lesson is: when you notice something in the client, child, spouse, team, the art of listening is absolutely crucial. You have to notice body language, intonation. You mentioned recently that one of the recent biographies you read was American Lion, about Andrew Jackson while in the White House. As a fan of the TV show The West Wing, my natural question is can you shed any light on Big Block of Cheese Day? But more seriously, what is it about biographies you find instructive and helpful? Usually about high achievers, notable, greats Focus on the humanness of these people; before they were who they became Normal people who took chances, made decisions, then stepped up to a good opportunity Likes to get the backstory Reading American Ulysses right now on the iPad, but does love hard copies. Favorite biographies are hard copies for sure In the same interview you mentioned your need for conversations, specifying several types that were key: challenging, encouraging, and laughing. It reminded me of Jim Valvano in his famous ESPY speech when he said if you can laugh, think and cry every day, that's a heck of a day. Why are conversations so important for you and why each of those types of conversations? The three Es – Equipping, Encouraging, Entertaining Help people, make them feel better, and then make it enjoyable Doesn't always have to be funny, but it definitively needs to be enjoyable If you have a staff meeting or a sales pitch to a client, these three Es will help Let's dig into your 2013 book One Question: Why did you write the book and who is it for? For someone who wants to make a difference with their life Highlight the power of a question Highlight the power of a great answer Important to have the right person to answer the questions; he's a bit skeptical of experts and instead is looking for experience. Experience defines expertise. You asked Pat Summit about handling failure, and her response focused on the importance of people. Tell us about that. (p. 65-68) Very simple yet powerful wisdom The great winners in life are actually great losers They hate it so much that they don't ever want it to happen again, and they learn from it After a loss, she called her dad and asked what he thought, he said: “You can't take donkeys to the Kentucky Derby.” Figure out how to get thoroughbreds and you can win championships. Same thing in business: get/develop great people and you'll win Your company will never outgrow your own leadership; the great ones never stop growing You asked Tony Dungy how he maintained his integrity as he promoted up through the ranks of NFL coaching. Recall for us his response about accountability. (p. 133). Making sure that you have a strong system of accountability through people, practices People can look into your life in every area; don't allow yourself to operate without people knowing what you're doing Processes/principles are great guardrails to keep me out of the ditch You have to give people permission to ask you the hard questions and to kick you in the butt when you need it In the book you also connected this with the Penn State saga, and in 2016 you could certainly view the Baylor situation through the same prism. Connect the dots for us on that if you could. You asked Jimmy Carter about reinvention and he made a remarkable statement I would like to quote and then have you comment on: “One thing that I realized was that God gives every one of us adequate talent, ability, education, or wealth to conform to God's will.” What did you take from that? (p. 181) He is a man with tremendous perspective, and that allowed him to rebrand himself (though that's not what he was trying to do) Though history will not remember his presidency well, people will remember him well. He did not retreat; did not quit; gave his life to causes he believed in This can apply whether you have failed at something or if a wave of success has subsided Who have you not yet interviewed that you want to? Tiger Woods He hasn't really ever done a definitive conversation that addresses his career from mountaintop to valley and trying to climb back up the mountain Would be fun to try and get that out of him He is guarded in interviews and it would be a huge professional challenge to try and get him to drop his guard and get answers we've never heard There's a potential great redemption story in him Where can people go to learn more about you and The EntreLeadership Podcast?
