What can decades of leadership teach us about navigating today’s economic uncertainty, geopolitical disruption and rapidly changing world?
In this special conversation we sit down with Governor, Congressman and former U.S. Ambassador to Canada, Jim Blanchard. As a leader whose experience spans some of the most consequential periods in Michigan’s economic and political history, Blanchard’s continuous engagement is especially relevant today. We talk about how Jim found his way in politics, Michigan’s economic recovery and transformation during his years as governor, and the importance of U.S. and Canada relations.
