Black Soldiers' Role in ending Slavery and Winning the Civil War: The History Most Americans Don't Know
11/25/2022
Far too Americans understand the important role of African-American soldiers in ending slavery and helping to win the Civil War. While the Emancipation Proclamation is generally believed to have ended slavery, it freed no slaves on January 1st, 1863. It did however set into motion considerations that would eventually end both slavery and the U.S. Civil War. The Emancipation Proclamation allowed 200,000 African-American soldiers to serve in the Union Army and help to free 4,000,000 enslaved African-American people in the United States out of a total of 4.5 million African-Americans living in the United States at that time. Our guest Captain Ed Gantt s a retired Navy Captain, He graduated from Howard University and entered Naval Aviation Officer Candidate School. The place that was depicted in the movie - An Officer and a Gentleman. Captain Gantt served 30 years of active duty in the US Army and Navy and a tour as a commanding officer of the F-14 Tomcat squadron, the aircraft, and squadron featured in the movie Top Gun. Captain Gantt has been involved as a civil war re-enactor and speaker since 2014, focusing on the contribution of US Colored Troops to the outcome of the Civil War. Most Americans don't know about the role of African-American Civil War reenactors in bringing a living, breathing Civil War history and the contributions of African-American soldiers to life across the US every year.

Learning to Live a Better Life with Greg LaBlanc
8/26/2022
Greg LaBlanc is the host of the Unsiloed podcast. He is a lifelong educator with degrees in History, PPE, Business, and Law, Greg currently teaches at Berkeley, Stanford, and HEC Paris.
He has taught in multiple disciplines, from Engineering to Economics, Biology to Business, and Psychology to Philosophy.
The podcast is based on a series of interviews Greg has had with leading global thought leaders and Nobel prize winners writing, thinking, and leading thought in the world today. The interviews are drawn from a wide set of topics, all in an attempt to get closer to one question: "How do we live a good life." This is the case as much on the level of business decisions as on the individual level.
Greg makes the case for the quest for Truth, Beauty, and Goodness as a foundation for a happy and virtuous life. It is not about Comfort, as the quest for intellectual virtue is not comfortable. He argues that the intellect needs to be confronted by challenges much in the same way as the body needs exercise, and this is all needed for a good life.
