Exploring how history shapes leadership—
and how leadership shapes the future.

John L. Barry brings a rare breadth of experience to conversations about leadership, history, education, aviation, national security, and public service. Drawing on decades of leadership in the U.S. Air Force and later in education, nonprofit organizations, and aviation institutions, John connects lessons from the past with the challenges leaders face today. Whether discussing presidential leadership and national security, transforming organizations, preparing the next generation, or lessons learned from moments of crisis, his interviews are candid, thoughtful, and focused on one central question: What can history teach us about making better decisions for the future? John is available for television, radio, podcast, print, and digital interview.
