Jared Cohen is a modern renaissance man: global security expert, leader at some of the nation’s most influential corporations, New York Times best selling author, and … collector of Presidential hair?

Yes, we’re serious.

In this conversation about Jared’s soon-to-be-released book Life After Power: Seven Presidents and Their Search for Purpose Beyond the White House, Alder CEO Michael P. Davidson and Jared dive into the sense of purpose that guided seven of history’s most influential leaders after leaving the highest office in the land. Against the backdrop of the values that drove these Presidents, Jared and Michael explored the their own pursuits of purpose and the different ways Jared explores his passions.

Jared shared that his success has been driven by a deep interest in learning new things, and said he ultimately thought of his career as an exercise in “managing a portfolio of his curiosities.” This book is the embodiment of harnessing the power of curiosity about our nation’s history to hone our sense of purpose to create impact in the world.
