Some leaders leave office and fade into history—others redefine what leadership means long after their tenure ends. In today’s episode, we explore the legacy of Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, a leader who proved that true influence isn’t confined to a title.

From his bold honesty during his presidency to his post-office humanitarian work that nearly eradicated Guinea worm disease, Carter demonstrated that true leadership is measured by the lives we touch, not just the positions we hold. The question is: What will your legacy be when your current role ends?

Well, great leaders never stop learning. Tune in now to discover how Carter’s leadership principles can inspire your own journey—because the impact you make today determines the legacy you leave tomorrow.

- Authenticity over popularity
