About the Podcast

Leadership Lessons From The Great Books Podcast features the audio version of Jesan Sorrells’s long-form (2+ hour) podcast conversations with leading intellectuals, theologians, historians, and others. These conversations represent Jesan’s attempt to perform three acts in one: To preserve the Great Books of Western Civilization by talking about them, analyzing them, and thinking about them in real-time. To provide modern, contemporary leaders with access to lessons about the past, from the past, that can inform their acts of leadership today--and in the future. To be counted in these times of strife where the very foundations of the Western civilizational ordering process–– such as free speech, for instance–– are being challenged by political ideologies that represent a poor substitute for the hard-won knowledge gained in the past.
