Send a textLeadership in Review is a long-form leadership podcast focused on culture, power, and truth.In this episode, Josh Kosnick, Emanuel Whitfield, and Jason Smith break down the Don Lemon church arrest, ICE protests, free speech, and how media-driven outrage is being used to divide Americans while real issues go untouched.This conversation explores why modern protests rarely lead to meaningful change, how “peaceful protest” has been redefined, and why emotional politics benefit those in power.
