About this episode

This episode explores the Masonic Founding Fathers and their influence on American history and leadership.

In this episode of The Masonic Roundtable, we transition from the broader abstract principles of early America to look directly at the individuals who stood at the intersection of history and the fraternity: the Masonic Founding Fathers. While popular folklore sometimes claims every signer of the Declaration of Independence was a brother, we separate history from myth to look at the genuine, documented Masons among the creators of the nation. We examine the lives, leadership styles, and lodge backgrounds of legendary figures. Join us as we look at how their specific experiences inside the lodge room informed their actions on the world stage, and what their legacy teaches us about leadership today.
