Summary

In today’s episode, I sit down with Joe Hart, President and CEO of Dale Carnegie, to talk about leadership, fear, conflict, and the challenges facing younger generations. Joe shares why personal growth is still the best investment we can make, how preparation builds confidence, and why fear loses power when we confront it directly. We also talk about constructive conflict, the danger of unresolved tension, and why young people need stronger communication, identity, and interpersonal skills in a world full of distraction. Joe’s insight brings Dale Carnegie’s timeless principles into today’s conversations around parenting, leadership, and showing up with courage.
