- Society & Culture
A great story can transport you to another place far across the globe. It can let you feel the way heat strikes from that particular latitude, smell the smoke of foreign trees burning, or experience the awkward confluence of two cultures meeting. To pull you in is the nature of a story. This podcast’s purpose is to reveal places you don't know and are not familiar while with, ultimately showing you lives and perspectives that are not your own. Expect to be challenged, to possibly breakthrough some of the walls surrounding your opinions, and to grow a little closer to the world around you.

To Close A Chasm
The Civil-Military divide is something many people talk about, but not many have an answer of how to close it. The real answer probably isn't as sexy or easy as anyone would like. It's millions of conversations between veterans and civilians that help relate the military experience and bring our society closer to the realities of their fighting force. Rob talks about how to find a middle ground with the people vets won't think will understand and how to start trying to share your stories in a way people will understand.

Like a Leader
The subject of leadership is chock-full of “fresh ideas” which are just old lessons retold with a different spin and “experts” who have more anecdotes than a backwoods preacher.

Charn McAllister joins to discuss the positive outcomes of likeability and why leaders committed to serving their subordinates must understand politics.
