Live Everything
Welcome to the "Live Everything" podcast, where we explore the art of mindful leadership. Join Trivius, an active duty Lieutenant Colonel and Duke PhD student, as he shares his experiences with war, academia, and navigating cultural spaces both physically and mentally.
In each episode, we'll dive deep into topics like leadership, ethics, and cultural competence, and explore how to apply these principles in the real world. Trivius draws on his personal experiences to provide tools for thinking critically about the complicated issues we face today.
As a military leader and scholar, Trivius has interacted with people from diverse backgrounds and has learned how to navigate complex cultural environments. Through his stories and insights, he inspires the next generation of leaders to be more mindful, empathetic, and effective in their leadership roles.
Whether you're a junior leader in the military or a young professional in any field, this podcast is for you. Join Trivius on a journey to become a more thoughtful leader and make a positive impact on the world around us. Let's Live Everything!
