The modern mental health conversation has taken a concerning turn, according to clinical therapist Jonelle Massey. Rather than building resilience, we've defined wellbeing as the absence of discomfort and the avoidance of challenges—a definition that ultimately leaves us ill-equipped for life's inevitable difficulties. Drawing from her experiences as a former D1 athlete and her work with leaders across various fields, Massey presents a compelling alternative: embrace adversity as the training ground for emotional strength.

Freedom isn't free. This simple yet profound truth anchors our special Memorial Day episode as we explore the origins, evolution, and significance of this solemn American holiday that honors those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.

Did you know that approximately 43% of Americans, primarily younger generations, don't fully understand Memorial Day's origins? Beyond barbecues and beach trips marking summer's unofficial start lies a day born from the ashes of the Civil War, where an estimated 750,000 Americans perished fighting each other on home soil. We trace how this commemoration began in 1868 as "Decoration Day," when communities would adorn the graves of fallen soldiers with flowers and flags, and how it gradually transformed into the national observance we know today.

Clarity isn't just a leadership buzzword—it's the difference between victory and defeat. In this continuation of leadership lessons from Gettysburg, host John Broer unpacks how ambiguous communication can derail even the most talented teams. Drawing parallels between Robert E. Lee's fateful directive to General Richard Ewell in 1863 and modern workplace challenges, John reveals the profound consequences of leadership language that leaves room for interpretation.
