Preview of Podcast:

“I couldn’t think of a more qualified individual to speak to the realities of an ever-changing world than this week’s guest, Dr. Anthea Hartig. Not only is Dr. Hartig the Elizabeth MacMillan Director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, but she is also a deep well of wisdom and brings so much to the table in this conversation.

Together we discuss a question that not only affects the way we look at our nation’s history, but it’s an important question that every leader will face time and time again — “What deserves preservation and what needs to change?”

I have no doubt that this conversation will help you navigate the complexities of that question the next time you have to answer it for yourself.”
