Sometimes on my podcast “Newt’s World,” I take a deep dive into the lives of “immortals” of American history — men and women of unmatched courage and accomplishment. On this week’s episode, I discuss President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

These qualities will always make for a good leader, no matter the time or place.”
