Rye Barcott speaks about courage—what it is, where it comes from, and why it is the quality leaders and organizations most need in an age of disruption and distrust. He is the author of Courage Can Save US: Ten Extraordinary Americans and the Fight for Our Future (Bloomsbury, 2026) and one of the nation's leading voices on courage, leadership, and service in a polarized age. Published ahead of America's 250th anniversary, the book follows ten Americans—nine veterans and a former FBI agent—who carry an ethic of service into public life and choose the common good over self-interest at moments of real cost. It is candid about a challenging moment in our public life and, ultimately, hopeful.
