Send us a text#32: This week on Rise, Recover, Live, Liz and Bryce The Third welcome back Scott Strode, Founder and Executive Director of The Phoenix, for a long-awaited conversation.Since his last appearance on the show, a lot has changed—most notably, Scott has written and published his first book. In Rise. Recover. Thrive. he opens up about the cathartic, sometimes scary, and emotional process of translating his personal journey into recovery onto paper, while spotlighting the work of The Phoenix movement. Through the writing process, Scott reflects on what makes The Movement so powerful: the belief that those seen as "the problem" in society are actually the solution. By focusing on the strength in people and treating folks with dignity, we can all thrive and even reach back a hand to help those behind us.Now, nearly two decades since founding The Phoenix, Scott seeks to memorialize the ethos of this work. Even if The Phoenix isn't the one to ultimately transform how our society approaches addiction, the ideas can inform those who come after, aiding them in carrying the movement even further.Tune in to hear Scott's wisdom as we discuss what first inspired him to start this work, how that motivation has changed, and why thriving—no matter how distant it may seem—remains the goal, and much more.Learn more about Scott at www.scottstrode.com, and find his book at www.scottstrode.com/book or wherever books are sold.Visit www.newform.org to discover the app that connects you with community, wellbeing and recovery organizations, and thousands of recovery events.

Marlene M. Johnson's memoir is an essential record of the ascension of women in American politics. In Rise to the Challenge: A Memoir of Politics, Leadership, and Love, Johnson chronicles her life of learning and leadership in activism, entrepreneurship, politics, and public service, weaving professional play-by-plays with candidness about navigating personal loss. Here, Johnson is joined in conversation with Lori Sturdevant and Elisabeth (Betsy) Griffith.Marlene M. Johnson was Minnesota's first woman lieutenant governor, serving in Governor Rudy Perpich's administration from 1983 until 1991. She is cofounder of the Minnesota Chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners and the Minnesota Women's Campaign Fund and was executive director and CEO of NAFSA: Association of International Educators for nearly two decades. She is on the advisory board of Kakenya's Dream, a board member of the Washington Office on Latin America, and a trustee of The Alexandria Trust. She lives in Washington, DC.Lori Sturdevant is a retired Star Tribune editorial writer and columnist who has written about Minnesota government and politics since 1978.Elisabeth Griffith is an American historian, educator, and activist. She is author of Formidable: American Women and the Fight for Equality: 1920–2020 and In Her Own Right: The Life of Elizabeth Cady Stanton.OTHER WORKS REFERENCED:Ambiguous Loss: Learning to Live with Unresolved Grief / Pauline BossTurnout: Making Minnesota the State That Votes / Joan Anderson Growe with Lori SturdevantLoving Someone who has Dementia / Pauline BossPraise for Rise to the Challenge:“Marlene M. Johnson wasn't just the first woman to be Minnesota's Lieutenant Governor. She was also the first Lieutenant Governor to have a specific policy portfolio. She had access and influence in ways that laid the groundwork for me and others to follow. Marlene is of a class of women who made important strides in DFL politics, and I'm grateful for her place in Minnesota's history and for this book that tells that story”.—Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan“An essential document of the midcentury rise of women into American politics. In this memoir of a remarkable public life, Marlene M. Johnson braids a love story tragically turned into caregiving and the domestic devotion of guardian and advocate. She proves that faithfulness in love and commitment to the betterment of the world are not opposites after all.”—Patricia Hampl, author of The Art of the Wasted Day“In the dynamic mid-twentieth-century women's movement, Marlene M. Johnson stood out and stood up with clarity of vision and purpose. Her multiple public service initiatives propelled her to a national presence and then into international education leadership.”—Judge Harriet Lansing, retired, Minnesota Court of Appeals“An important read for aspiring public servants, male or female.”—J. Brian Atwood, former administrator, US Agency for International Development

CHRISTMAS BONUS:My book Rise of the Filmtrepreneur®: How to Turn Your Indie Film into a Moneymaking Business has become an Amazon Best Seller. I'm so excited to share this with you, the IFH Tribe. I've been working for months to make this happen. I wanted to give you a sneak peek at the book so in this episode, I'll be releasing the first two chapters of the audiobook for your listening pleasure. These two chapters set the tone for the book. In the episode, I even show you a way to download the entire book for free.Here's a bit of what Rise of the Filmtrepreneur has to offer:It's harder today than ever before for independent filmmakers to make money with their films. From predatory film distributors ripping them off to huckster film aggregators who prey upon them, the odds are stacked against the indie filmmaker. The old distribution model for making money with indie film is broken and there needs to be a change. The future of independent filmmaking is the entrepreneurial filmmaker or the Filmtrepreneur®. In Rise of the Filmtrepreneur® author and filmmaker Alex Ferrari breaks down how to actually make money with independent film projects and shows filmmakers how to turn their indie films into profitable businesses. This is not all theory, Alex uses multiple real-world case studies to illustrate each part of his method. This book shows you the step by step way to turn your filmmaking passion into a profitable career. If you are making a feature film, series or any kind of video content, The Filmtrepreneur® Method will set you up for success.I really hope you enjoy Rise of the Filmtrepreneur. I truly believe that the only way indie filmmakers will be able to survive the new film economy is by becoming Filmtrepreneurs. My goal for this book is to show filmmakers and creatives that they have to think differently. The old film economy is DEAD. Traditional film distribution is not set up to benefit the indie filmmaker. The cards are stacked against the creative and things need to change.Filmmakers need to take back control of their films and how they generate revenue from them. The day of handing over your film to a predatory film distributor because you believe there is no other choice is over! There is another way and the Filmtrepreneur Method is that way. Let me know what you think of the book. Enjoy and VIVA LA REVOLUTION!

When the Hart-Celler Act passed in 1965, opening up US immigration to non-Europeans, it ushered in a whole new era. But even to the first generation of Asian Americans born in the US after that milestone, it would have been impossible to imagine that sushi and boba would one day be beloved by all, that a Korean boy band named BTS would be the biggest musical act in the world, that one of the most acclaimed and popular movies of 2018 would be Crazy Rich Asians, or that we would have an Asian American Vice President. And that's not even mentioning the creators, performers, entrepreneurs, execs and influencers who've been making all this happen, behind the scenes and on the screen; or the activists and representatives continuing to fight for equity, building coalitions and defiantly holding space for our voices and concerns. And still: Asian America is just getting started. The timing could not be better for this intimate, eye-opening, and frequently hilarious guided tour through the pop-cultural touchstones and sociopolitical shifts of the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and beyond. In Rise, Jeff Yang, Phil Yu, and Philip Wang chronicle how we've arrived at today's unprecedented diversity of Asian American cultural representation through engaging, interactive infographics (including a step-by-step guide to a night out in K-Town, an atlas that unearths historic Asian American landmarks, a handy “Appreciation or Appropriation?” flowchart, and visual celebrations of both our "founding fathers and mothers" and the nostalgia-inducing personalities of each decade), plus illustrations and graphic essays from major AAPI artists, exclusive roundtables with Asian American cultural icons, and more, anchored by extended insider narratives of each decade by the three co-authors. Rise is an informative, lively, and inclusive celebration of both shared experiences and singular moments, and all the different ways in which we have chosen to come together. _______________________________________________ Produced by Natalie Freeman, Lance Morgan, & Michael Kowaleski.

What are the jobs of the future? How many will there be? And who will have them? We might imagine—and hope—that today's industrial revolution will unfold like the last: even as some jobs are eliminated, more will be created to deal with the new innovations of a new era. In Rise of the Robots, Silicon Valley entrepreneur Martin Ford argues that this is absolutely not the case. As technology continues to accelerate and machines begin taking care of themselves, fewer people will be necessary. Artificial intelligence is already well on its way to making “good jobs” obsolete: many paralegals, journalists, office workers, and even computer programmers are poised to be replaced by robots and smart software. As progress continues, blue and white collar jobs alike will evaporate, squeezing working- and middle-class families ever further. At the same time, households are under assault from exploding costs, especially from the two major industries—education and health care—that, so far, have not been transformed by information technology. The result could well be massive unemployment and inequality as well as the implosion of the consumer economy itself.

Our guest this week is Steven Kotler, a New York Times best-selling author and an award-winning journalist.About StevenAs the Executive Director of the Flow Research Collective, he is one of the world’s leading experts on high performance. His most recent work, The Future Is Faster Than You Think, is a blueprint for how our world will change in response to the next ten years of rapid technological disruption. He co-wrote the book with Peter Diamandis as the last book in their Exponential Mindset Trilogy which started off with the book Abundance, where they tackled grand global challenges, such as poverty, hunger, and energy, followed by Bold, where they chronicled the use of exponential technologies that allowed the emergence of powerful new entrepreneurs. Steven is also the co-founder of Creating Equilibrium, a conference/concert/innovation accelerator focused on solving critical environmental challenges, and, alongside his wife, author Joy Nicholson, Steven is the cofounder of Rancho de Chihuahua, a hospice care/special needs care dog sanctuary in the mountains of Northern New Mexico. He also co-founded the Flow Genome Project in order to answer questions such as the relationship between flow and creativity, flow and business success, as well as to explore altered states of consciousness and their effect on human performance. His book, Stealing Fire, was a national bestseller and nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. It documents an underground revolution in peak performance that is rapidly going mainstream, fueling a trillion-dollar economy and forcing us to rethink how we lead more satisfying, productive and meaningful lives. This work was preceded by two books about the technology, Tomorrowland, which is about those maverick innovators who transformed science-fiction ideas into science fact technology and Bold, which was called a “visionary roadmap for change,” by president Bill Clinton and spent many months atop both the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists.His previous book, The Rise of Superman, was one of the most talked-about books in 2013 and the first book in history to land on the New York Times bestseller lists in the sports, science, psychology, and business categories simultaneously. In Rise, Steven decodes the science of flow, an optimal state of consciousness where we feel our best and perform our best.Just as Rise explores the upper limits of individual possibility, his book, Abundance, explores the upper limits of societal possibility, breaking down four emerging forces that give humanity the potential to significantly raise global standards of living over the next 20 to 30 years. Abundance spent 10 weeks atop the New York Times bestseller list and appeared on four prestigious “Best Book of the Year” lists.A Small, Furry Prayer, Steven’s book about the relationship between humans and animals, was a national bestseller and nominated for a Pulitzer Prize; West of Jesus, which examines the neurobiology of spiritual experience, was a Pen/West finalist; and his bestselling novel, The Angle Quickest For Flight, won the William L. Crawford IAFA Fantasy Award.Steven’s work has been translated into over 40 languages and appeared in over 100 publications, including The New York Times, Atlantic Monthly, Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Wired and TIME. He also appears frequently on television and radio and lectures widely on human performance, disruptive technology, and radical innovation.Join the Inspired Evolution Community:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InspiredEvolution/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/InspiredEvo/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/InspiredEvolution/Website: https://inspiredevolution.com/In this Episode We Canvas:Navigating A Crisis with Peak Performance Steven highlights that we currently have an epidemic of fear and an epidemic disease and that in the world today we have local and linear brains that are used to slow change, but then we live in a global and exponential world, and so our brains cannot process exponential change. There have been fears that the Coronavirus might become worse and that economies might nosedive, but those are all maybes and the brain cannot deal with them because it’s designed to go on and off. Steven and his team were looking at peak performance at the time of pandemics and through positive psychology, they’ve come up with three very good solutions including, gratitude practice, mindfulness practice, and exercise. Those three things help in resetting the nervous system and they’re the only way one can shut off a hyper-vigilant response to exponential threats. “We’ve got an epidemic of fear and an epidemic disease” - Steve KotlerThe Lifecycle of a ConvergenceExponential technology is any technology that doubles on a regular basis. Computers are a clear example because every 18 months they get twice as fast and their cost stays the same because of the number of integrated circuits that they can fit in a computer chip doubles. A virus spreading across the globe is also a great example. Technologies like AI, robotics, biotechnology, nanotechnology, sensors, computing, and others are accelerating exponentially and they are now starting to converge exponentially. Their exponential convergence is when, for example, AI meets robotics. Flying cars will soon be made possible by the convergence of technology.“When you’re dealing with exponentials, they get big really fast” - Steve KotlerOpen-source TechnologyDespite the rumors that move around about AI and certain countries gaining power over others by owning all the technology around that, the fact is that all the major and disruptive technologies are open-sourced. Google’s super AI as well as other technologies are free online. Steven and his team at the Flow Research Collective are working very hard to build the world’s first bio-physical base flow detector (something that can monitor a person’s brain and body, and tell them if they’re in flow). They are going to couple that technology with BR to create the world’s first high flow accelerated learning environment, and they will be building for accelerating worker relearning. Steven’s core goal for developing that technology is to decode flow and develop the best flow training in the history of the universe.“As the tools get better, the collaborative opportunities get better, because people love to collaborate” - Steve KotlerThe Changing LandscapeIn transportation, there are the efforts car companies are making towards the development of flying cars and autonomous vehicles. Every major car company is rolling out autonomous vehicles this year. Waymo for example, is looking to be doing one million autonomous taxi rides a day. Steven believes the Coronavirus will speed up the unveiling of these vehicles because riders will be alone in the taxis and the vehicles can be sterilized between uses. There is the Hyperloop technology (high-speed trains that can do 750 miles per hour which means one can travel from Las Vegas to Los Angeles in 20 minutes) and there are 25 such projects in the world today. Elon Musk has his Boring Company where he is drilling tunnels under major cities to build high-speed conveyor belts and he says his rockets will be taking people to Mars in 2030. Musk also said that by the end of the decade, his rockets will be able to do London to Shanghai in 39 minutes, and so could be used for terrestrial transport as well. So much in people’s daily lives as they know it will change drastically with all these changes in transportation technology. The same changes in technology will apply to all major industries including healthcare.“Personal auto insurance may go away because individual car ownership may go away, because we’re moving to car as a service” - Steve KotlerThe Corporate Legacy Conundrum The average corporate lifespan between the 20s and 50s was 67 years, and today is less than 14 years. 40% of the world’s Fortune 500 companies are going to be gone within the next 10 years. All that is because of the way technology changes so rapidly. There have been studies of companies that have been around for phenomenally long times like 500 to 700 years, and the discovery has been on what preserves companies for a very long time. A great highlight of this issue of corporate legacy is when Jeff Bezos admitted to his shareholders that he believed Amazon would be out of business within 25 years. Steven feels that companies are now going to be just a vehicle for an idea.“I’m not so sure companies are going to last that long anymore” - Steve KotlerThe Inspiration Behind the BookThe Future is Faster Than You Think book is a blueprint that looks at the 11 biggest industries in the world and tracks them for the next 10 years to look at where the convergences and disruptions are and determine what’s coming in terms of new technologies, business models, and market opportunities. It was inspired by the converging exponentials and the fact that the scale of disruption and opportunity is increasing in orders of magnitude. When they wrote Abundance and Bold, they were talking about individual exponentials that disrupt services and markets, but converging exponentials disrupt markets, institutions, and all the systems that support them in very dramatic ways. The book is optimistic and seeks to future proof people against the next ten years.“There is going to be more opportunity over the next decade than ever before” - Steve KotlerHow They Managed to Write Such An Incredible BookIt was not easy, and Steven and Peter had a team from Singularity University, Abundance 360, and other teams that they tapped on a regular basis for the book. It also helped a lot that Peter has been in business for a long time and has founded 22 companies while Steven has been covering cutting edge technology as a journalist and author for over 30 years. A great example is the fact that quantum computing is now a reality, but he had written about it in the 1990s when David Deutsch published a book on it. “You actually have to have spent a lifetime paying attention to these things” - Steve Kotler See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Steven Kotler is a New York Times bestselling author, an award-winning journalist and the co-founder and director of research of the Flow Genome Project. He is one of the world’s leading experts on high performance.His most recent work, Stealing Fire, was a national bestseller and nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. It documents an underground revolution in peak performance that is rapidly going mainstream, fueling a trillion dollar economy and forcing us to rethink how we lead more satisfying, productive and meaningful lives.his work was preceded by two books about the technology, Tomorrowland, which is about those maverick innovators who transformed science-fiction ideas into science fact technology, and, Bold, which was called a “visionary roadmap for change,” by president Bill Clinton and spent many months atop both the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists.His previous book, The Rise of Superman, was one of the most talked about books in 2013 and the first book in history to land on the New York Times bestseller lists in the sports, science, psychology, and business categories simultaneously. In Rise, Steven decodes the science of flow, an optimal state of consciousness where we feel our best and perform our best.Just as Rise explores the upper limits of individual possibility, his book, Abundance, explores the upper limits of societal possibility, breaking down four emerging forces that give humanity the potential to significantly raise global standards of living over the next 20 to 30 years. Abundance spent 10 weeks atop the New York Times bestseller list and appeared on four prestigious “Best Book of the Year” lists.A Small, Furry Prayer—Steven’s book about the relationship between humans and animals—was a national bestseller and nominated for a Pulitzer Prize; West of Jesus, which examines the neurobiology of spiritual experience, was a Pen/West finalist; and his bestselling novel, The Angle Quickest For Flight, won the William L. Crawford IAFA Fantasy Award.Steven’s work have been translated into over 40 languages and appeared in over 100 publications, including The New York Times, Atlantic Monthly, Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Wired and TIME. He also appears frequently on television and radio, and lectures widely on human performance, disruptive technology and radical innovation.Steven is also the cofounder of Creating Equilibrium, a conference/concert/innovation accelerator focused on solving critical environmental challenges, and, alongside his wife, author Joy Nicholson, Steven is the cofounder of Rancho de Chihuahua, a hospice care/special needs care dog sanctuary in the mountains of Northern New Mexico.He has a BA from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and an MA from Johns Hopkins University and, whenever possible, can be found hurling himself down mountains at high speeds.- https://www.stevenkotler.com/- https://www.instagram.com/kotler.steven/- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxbLU30FsQmr-Ikxu6VrTAgPlease do NOT hesitate to reach out to me on Instagram, LinkedIn or via email mark@vudream.comLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-metry/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/markmetry/Twitter - https://twitter.com/markymetryHumans 2.0 Twitter - https://twitter.com/Humans2PodcastMedium - https://medium.com/@markymetryFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/mark.metry.9Mark Metry - https://www.markmetry.com/

Having grown up in a family manufacturing business which he grew from $8 to $18MM in 10 years as CEO, Michael Erath has spent his entire career in the trenches of the entrepreneurial world. He also co-founded a Hardwood Timber Trading Company in 1999 which grew from start-up to a $27MM business in 2007. Since 2003 he has been an active member of several business peer groups – YPO, where he spent 9 years in Forum as a member of the Southern 7 Chapter; EO, where he continues his Forum experience as a member of the Arizona Chapter to this day; and Vistage, where he was a member of a Trusted Advisors Group in Columbus, Ohio. When the housing market crashed in 2009, Michael lost everything. Due to a combination of declining sales, betrayals from key staff, and his own blind spots, Michael went from owning two multi-million-dollar businesses to almost destroying his marriage, losing his home and companies, and struggling to make ends meet. But he didn’t let failure keep him down. Instead, he learned from his mistakes and rose back to success. In 2010, Michael leveraged everything he had and started a new manufacturing business. In early 2014, an EO colleague introduced Michael to the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS®) by way of the book TRACTION. In EOS®, for the first time in his 20-year career, Michael found a simplified, holistic system that created a perfect framework with which to operate his business. By implementing EOS® in his own business, Michael built a strong and unified Leadership Team who became capable of managing the day-to-day operations of the business, which freed him from the overwhelming control the business had been having over his life. With that newfound freedom, Michael was able to step away from the business to pursue his greatest passion, which is to work with fellow entrepreneurs to help them strengthen their businesses by implementing the Entrepreneurial Operating System as a Certified EOS Implementer. To do so, he founded SMART Direction in 2015 and now works full-time with leadership teams of entrepreneurial companies from SMART Direction’s Phoenix-based “Dojo”, also known as The Traction Hub. Michael’s journey inspired him to help others avoid the mistakes he made by writing his first book, RISE: The Reincarnation of an Entrepreneur. In RISE, Michael recounts his remarkable story with brutal honesty and self-reflection. He demonstrates how systemizing a business and building healthy, open, and honest leadership teams can help business leaders free themselves from the control their business has over them and find time to pursue other passions. He calls it Entrepreneurial Freedom – Getting out of your own way and living your ideal life with a business that you own, rather than a business that owns you. Michael lives in Phoenix with his wife Elizabeth and their French Bulldog, Rocco. They have two adult sons. In this episode, Michael discusses the ups and downs he experienced throughout his career, as well as how fear was a motivator to rise back to success.

Today's podcast is all about the history of REVEAL—a story about a survey born in 2004 that’s become the gold standard for measuring spiritual growth for churches across the country. More than 2000 churches with 500,000 congregants have taken the REVEAL survey. Beyond size, our database is very diverse, including a broad range of church denominations, locations, sizes, and styles. REVEAL’s Origin Story: 2004-2008 In 2004, Willow Creek Church in South Barrington, IL, wanted to measure spiritual growth. Spiritual growth was defined using the Great Commandment as a guide, measuring the factors that increase a person’s love of God and love of others grow. Cally Parkinson was Communications Director for WCC at the time and headed up the survey effort, eventually authoring two books on findings from REVEAL. • Three key “inventors”: Bill Hybels + Eric Arnson + Greg Hawkins. • The question wasn’t “what drives spiritual growth?” Because we knew the answer—church activities. •The only question was which church activity was most effective at spiritual growth. Was it small groups? Or midweek services? • The surprising answer—neither one. In fact, we found that participation in church activities does not drive long–term spiritual growth. • Instead, we discovered that the most significant catalysts that drive spiritual growth are personal spiritual practices, specifically Bible engagement. The things we do outside of the organized church setting are the most powerful influences on growing our relationship with Jesus—and consequently, our love of God and love of others. The real breakthrough for REVEAL came two years later through the Willow Creek Association. The WCA is best known for its annual Global Leadership Summit, which this year will host 400,000 people in 128 countries around the world. Bill decided to share the survey insights at a gathering of WCA Summit pastors. Many of the pastors begged WCA president Jim Mellado to take the survey in their churches. We started with seven churches…then 25…then in 2007, 500 churches took the survey. REVEAL the book and brand were launched, leading to changes at Willow Creek and many other churches. For the first time, we had data that churches could use to see how their people were doing in their spiritual growth. REVEAL Best Practice Principles: 2008-2012 In 2008, studying the results from all of the churches that had taken the survey led to the discovery of the Best Practice Principles. • The first (and only) REVEAL conference was held to discuss the findings and allow others to hear from the churches we identified as being exceptional in their implementation of the Principles. •Nancy Scammacca Lewis joined the REVEAL team soon after as lead statistician. •We built a database of church survey results, mined it for new insights, and published MOVE: What 1,000 Churches Reveal about Spiritual Growth. REVEAL Archetypes: 2013-Present In 2013, a philanthropist with a technology company bought the REVEAL brand and intellectual property. Thanks to this investment, we rebooted the survey to be more user-friendly and published a second book Rise: Bold Strategies to Transform Your Church. In Rise, we describe our findings about eight types of churches—we call them “archetypes.” The eight archetypes emerged out of the richness of data we have on the two key findings we described earlier: • Where congregants are the catalysts of spiritual growth • How churches are doing on the Best Practice Principles. Our goal with the archetypes isn’t to put churches in boxes—it’s to give them practical next steps to make their church more vibrant. Looking across everything we’ve done and everything we know now about churches and spiritual growth, a pastor’s key takeaway from REVEAL should be that there’s hope—in fact, a lot of hope—because any church can RISE. We’ve launched this podcast to share fresh insights from our rich data on how churches can help their people grow. We want to take the guesswork out of church-work for you! Next time on the REVEAL Church Leadership Podcast: Key concepts you need to know to understand the REVEAL findings.
George McGovern is largely remembered today for his dramatic loss to Richard Nixon in the 1972 presidential campaign, yet he enjoyed a long career characterized by many remarkable achievements. In Rise of a Prairie Statesman: The Life and Times of George McGovern (Princeton UP, 2016), the first in a projected two-volume biography of the senator and Democratic Party presidential nominee, Thomas Knock chronicles McGovern's life and career from his Depression-era upbringing in South Dakota to his 1968 reelection campaign and emergence as a presidential contender. Knock describes McGovern's transformation from a shy young boy into a confident debater who, after America went to war in 1941, volunteered for service in the Army Air Corps as a B-24 bomber pilot and flew 35 combat missions over Germany and Austria. Upon returning home, he embarked on a path that took him from the ministry to a Ph.D. in history and then the college classroom before he settled upon a career in politics. After serving two terms in the House of Representatives and as Director of Food for Peace in the Kennedy administration, in 1962 McGovern won a seat in the United States Senate, where he emerged as a prescient critic of America's descent into the Vietnam War. In detailing his opposition to that expanding conflict, Knock not only shows how McGovern emerged as a national leader, but also demonstrates the relevance of his vision to the challenges our nation faces today.
