Conversations and Lectures with Michael Sears
Since 2018, I've been teaching leadership and ethics at the intersection of the new technologies that are impacting our lives. Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality and Social Media have profoundly effected how we work and play and interact. A large part of that "teaching" has been by using cutting edge imagery and audio production technologies that make the lessons engaging. As such, I've been able to present to various audiences in community settings, academia and business conferences, as well as leisure environments in such a way that audiences stay captivated and asking for more.
In this episode of Radio Stockdale at the Stockdale Center for Ethical Leadership, we discuss how did a first century philosopher named Epictetus guide VADM James Stockdale through seven and one half years as a Prisoner of War in North Vietnam? What does it mean to embrace things that are within our power versus things that are beyond our power? Is optimism a good thing, or can it lead to your demise?
