About this episode
Mark Meckler interviews interns from the Emerging Leaders Program about the lessons learned through real responsibility and Socratic dialogue.
We’re breaking down why real responsibility is the best teacher and how a program built on Socratic dialogue is shaping the next generation of American leaders. Mark Meckler interviews three interns in our Emerging Leaders Program to discuss the stuff they don’t teach you in school: accountability, managing the "camera fear," and finding family in unexpected places.Apply for the Emerging Leaders Program
