Two hosts recommend leadership resources: John C. Maxwell's The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership and Stuart Russell's Human Compatible for AI ethics. They suggest three podcasts (The Knowledge Project, Coaching for Leaders, Hard Fork) and three films (Remember the Titans, Thirteen Days, Hidden Figures) that teach decision-making, emotional intelligence, and inclusion.
Chapters
The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership by John C. Maxwell. You already know this one well because it teaches timeless principles that work across any domain. And if you want a bonus with a tech twist, Human Compatible by Stuart Russell is a great one on aligning AI with human values. Which ones have shaped your leadership style the most?
Definitely the, uh, 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. It's actually, uh, part of the curriculum I'm using for season 4 of this season Leadership and Success podcast. So what about podcasts? Which podcast would you recommend?

Of course, I'd also recommend Leadership and Success with Coach BZ, but you already knew that one's elite. Any specific leadership angle you're hoping a podcast could dig into more?
No, thank you. Thank you so much. What about movies? Which movies would you recommend?
You're welcome. Now, movies? Oh yeah, there are some brilliant ones that can teach leadership without ever feeling like a lecture. First up, Remember the Titans. It's a masterclass in leading through division, building trust, and creating unity under pressure. Second, Thirteen Days. It's about the Cuban Missile Crisis. Pure leadership under fire. Decision-making, calm in chaos, and moral courage, all wrapped in real history. And third, Hidden Figures. Not only does it celebrate underrepresented brilliance in tech and space,
