Guest host Krish Dhanam steps in for Todd to explore how real leadership starts with humility—and why our political class so often misses it. Krish warms up with a classic tongue-in-cheek poem to highlight the absurdity of today’s shouting matches, then lays out The Leader’s Pulse: a practical framework for conservatives who want to influence without the rage.
First up is Posture—the foundation of humble leadership—built on a surrendered spirit, a servant’s heart, and a selfless mindset. From George Washington’s restraint to everyday public service, Krish argues that character is the bedrock of trust.
Next is Patience—the discipline of lasting influence. Don’t react; respond with wisdom. Stay steady, tell the truth, and persist in peace, taking a cue from reformers who labored for years before breakthroughs came.
Finally, Persuasion—the fruit of Christ-like influence. Krish connects America’s Judeo-Christian roots to the way we engage opponents today: firm convictions, gracious tone, and the courage to love neighbors without surrendering truth.
You’ll hear personal stories from Krish’s journey with the late Zig Ziglar, his work with Patriot Academy, and why teaching young Americans to debate ideas fairly matters now more than ever. If you’re conservative—not bitter—and want to lead with clarity, conviction, and joy, this one’s for you.
