Leadership Lessons from a Greyhound Driver
My dad, LB Dismore, was a Greyhound Bus driver for over 30 years. I learned a lot of things riding with him, but three leadership thoughts come to mind on this week’s podcast.
Riding with him taught me looking the part, perspective and that there’s only one bus driver.

Whose Values do We Value?
Selfishness can often masquerade as care for others. With the end of the “10 Values We Can Agree on For America”, I talk about root causes of today’s societal breakdown and bring a few ideas on how to deal with it.
Who Does Wealth Belong To?
First, an admission that I came to the conclusion that the title of the current series should be “Ten Values We Can Agree On For America”. I had been saying “things” instead of “values” and I think Values is much more descriptive.
So, who does wealth belong to? My proposal is that it belongs to those who generate it. Whether it’s a five-figure income or a million-dollar inheritance, I think that it’s not up to the government to divide that money equally.
Let me know what you think.

Let’s Get Rid of What Makes It Work!
After the 2020 Election, I had an eye-opening conversation with a good friend about why we don’t need the Electoral College anymore. The Electoral College is essential to the integrity of our national elections, and there is a very good reason it’s in place.
