Pax Dei Ep.161 | Influence in Action: Living Ethical Power in a Digital World

How do you walk the talk of ethical power—when influence is everywhere and integrity is always on trial? In Episode 161 of Pax Dei: The Search for Steel, we move from philosophy to practice, showing how true leadership means living your values under pressure, online and off. We revisit wisdom from Aristotle, Confucius, Sun Tzu, and Jonathan Haidt, exploring the real science behind trust, moral elevation, and cultures of high integrity. Discover what it takes to build real trust, inspire with purpose, and make ethical influence a daily habit—whether you lead a guild, a company, or just yourself.

How to turn values into action (and what stops most people)
