Episode 03: Legacy, Humility, and Knowing What Matters
SEPTEMBER 29
In this episode of Duke’s Life of Significance series, hosts Sanyin Siang and Greg Jones interview Bill Haslam, the former Governor of Tennessee and author of the book Faithful Presence. In this interview, Bill discusses outwardly focused leadership practices, engendering empathy in small moments of connection, and the humanity we all share. Bill also takes the time to share about his pardoning of Cyntoia Brown and the connection he intentionally made with her. Ultimately, it’s all about people: “The beauty of other people in your life should never, ever be minimized in terms of living a life that’s abundant.”
