Her "One Big Thing"?

On this episode of The One Big Thing, I had the honor of sitting down with General Stanley McChrystal. You may know him as one of the most respected military leaders of our time, but in our conversation, we focused less on medals and missions and more on the thing that truly defines a life: character.We talked about what it means to be a father, a grandfather, and a human being trying to live out your values in a complicated world. Stan shares how character isn't something we inherit—it's something we choose. And we don't just choose it once—we choose it daily, especially in the hard moments when no one else is watching.We also got into:Why your example matters more than your achievementsHow to hold fast to who you are—even when the world feels loud, divided, and chaoticWhat Stan learned from leading soldiers in war and grandkids in peacetimeHow his book On Character: Choices That Define a Life came to be (and why it might help you rethink your own convictions)Whether you're a parent, a leader, or someone simply trying to do the next right thing, I think this episode will meet you right where you are. This conversation reminded me that we all have a say in the kind of person we become—and that it’s never too late to start making better choices.🧠 Your one big thing today? Character isn’t what you say—it’s who you are when no one’s looking.
