info_outlineDavid McCullough is a champion of history, humanity, and the human spirit.
He has written 12 nonfiction works including "John Adams", "Truman", and most recently "The Pioneers", which hit shelves in the spring of 2019.
The desire and capacity to improve the world through one's contribution, to stand up in the face of struggle, to saddle up, commit, and come out the other side having learned and represented something of importance - something bigger than you...
This undercurrent - that of the human spirit overcoming challenge for the betterment of the whole - pervades all of his writing. From stories of U.S. Presidents, to the American Revolution, to the Building of the Brooklyn Bridge and the Panama Canal, and the invention of human flight, one idea is always there:
Our potential is boundless should we, in the name of worthy ideals, summon the courage to try and the fortitude to keep going.
I hope you enjoy David's wisdom (and singing) on this episode -- thank you for tuning in.
