What happens when leadership is guided not by power, but by love?

In this episode, Don explores the tension between love and control - and what it really means to lead with honesty, courage, and care. Based on his meditation “When Love Leads,” Don reflects on how love, when practiced in leadership, doesn’t soften accountability - it deepens it.

Joining him is Alan Furth, co-founder of the Cobscook Institute and a lifelong educator whose work has been rooted in peace, honesty, respect, and empowerment - with love intentionally at the core. Together, they talk about the difference between control and care, the courage it takes to hold both truth and compassion, and how leadership grounded in love can transform people, organizations, and communities.

Because when love leads, power finds its proper place - and people rise.
