Welcome to How Leaders Lead, where every week you get to listen in while I interview some of the very best leaders in the world.

I break down the key learnings so that by the end of the episode, you'll have something simple you can apply as you develop into a better leader.

That's what this podcast is all about. My guest today is Brett Bear.

He's the chief political anchor of Fox News Channel and executive editor of Special Report

with Brett Bear, which airs live every weeknight to millions of viewers. Now, there's a lot we could

say about the world of politics and media.

But one thing's for sure, there's never a dull moment.

In Brett's world, things are always happening and always changing.

And as the anchor of a live news program, he has to be ready for anything.

So how does he do it?

Well, as you're about to hear, Brett keeps his eyes and ears open all the time. He is always asking questions, always listening, always tuned in to what's going on around it. That kind of attentive mindset can help you too. And I think you're going to learn a lot today by hearing how Brett works and leads. So here's my conversation with my good friend and soon to be yours, Brett Baer.

You know, when I was doing my research, I had a lot of fun watching a lot of your clips,

but one that really stuck out for me was the interview you did with the Dalai Lama.

And I couldn't believe it when you asked him if he'd ever seen Caddyshack.

I mean, that was amazing.

Tell us that story.

The Dalai Lama was in Washington, D.C. and they called and said,

would we like an interview? We said, of course, definitely. So we went over there. I met him,

who's a fascinating character. And we talked about everything, from China to all of the spiritual,

you know, consciousness and what he recommends.

And it was at the end of the interview about 20 minutes.

And I thought to myself, this is the only time I could do this.
