015 - Francis Perkins - The Day the New Deal Began
What a factory fire in 1911 and an AI bedtime story in 2025 have in common — and why both are leadership problems
The Ready Set Podcast
Most leadership content tells you what great leaders do. This show tells you why — and shows you what it actually looks like in practice.
Each episode of The Ready Set takes one leadership behavior or scenario that separates effective leaders from overwhelmed ones, and brings it to life through the story of a real leader in history who embodied it. Not as a textbook case study. As a human being who figured something out under real pressure, with real stakes, and left something worth learning from.
Host Ryan Carnes draws on 15+ years of observational leadership data to connect the behaviors that drive performance to the people throughout history who lived them — so you walk away with more than inspiration. You walk away with something you can actually use.
If you lead people, or you're building toward it, this is the show for you.
