Why Malcolm Gladwell Believes We Can Make Seemingly Irrational Courage Contagious | On the X #1
On the debut episode of On the X, Navy SEAL veteran and Navy SEAL Foundation Communications Director Chris Irwin sits down with bestselling author and podcaster Malcolm Gladwell for a discussion on the power of veteran stories, rethinking the personal flaws of the founding fathers, the contagious nature of courage, and more.
Gladwell is the host of the popular podcast Revisionist History. The latest season explores “Hitler's Olympics” during the summer of 1936. He also hosts the new podcast Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage, which tells the stories of U.S. military heroes. He is the author of books including The Tipping Point, What the Dog Saw, Outliers, Blink, David and Goliath, Talking to Strangers, and The Bomber Mafia. His next book, Revenge of the Tipping Point, releases this fall.
On the X, an IRONCLAD Original, is the Official Podcast of the Navy SEAL Foundation.
