195. Jimmy Carter’s Enduring Legacy: Peace, Music, and Leadership

This month we’ve been talking about grief and this episode could be an example of anticipatory grief because we’re talking about Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States who recently on Oct 1 celebrated his 100th birthday.

Our hope is that you'll be inspired by this short Sound Bite episode.

There is a ton of things to admire about him – I recently shared some of them with some Millennials I know who said, "Wow, I had no idea" so we're taking the opportunity today to share some of my learning with you about this man.

Topics Covered:

President Carter’s key accomplishments in and out of office

Why Jimmy Carter is the Rock ‘n Roll President

Carter’s friendship with musicians

A marketing innovator when it came to campaign events

His quotes about leadership

Here are 3 takeaways from our episode:

1. Jimmy Carter certainly deserves to be called the Rock ‘n Roll president. He saw music as the one thing we all have in common no matter where live.

2. Jimmy inspires us to have faith, do what we believe to be right, no matter how much others may see as ‘inappropriate’.

3. While some will not look kindly on his time as President, he is an inspiring, decent human being. Thank you, Mr. President, for all you have done. I am already grieving our loss.
