Harvard, Idealism and War

from Dr. Carole's Couch · host Dr. Carole Lieberman

Today's guest, James Carl Nelson, is the acclaimed author of the just-released book --- Five Lieutenants: The Heartbreaking Story of Five Harvard Men Who Led America to Victory in WWI. His knack for researching the truth about what it was like to fight in this war, and weaving these truths into compelling stories, was already evident in his first book, The Remains of Company D: A Story of the Great War. In his new book, he follows five men who left their lives of privilege to follow their idealistic dreams, in an effort to end the war to end all wars.

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
