Navigating Our World

What does it mean to be an engaged citizen—and a principled leader—in an increasingly complex world? In this episode of the NOW podcast, recorded live at the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas, Brown Advisory’s Kyle Manley sits down with Dr. Shilo Brooks, President and CEO of the Bush Center, for a wide-ranging conversation about leadership, citizenship and the ideas at the heart of the American experiment.
 
As the nation marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, they explore the founding principles that continue to shape American democracy, the essential role of civic education and civil discourse, and what it means to lead with both conviction and an openness to changing one’s mind. From the enduring value of books and intellectual inquiry to the temptation to outsource our thinking in an age of artificial intelligence, the conversation offers a timely case for curiosity, reflection and thinking for ourselves.
