Sports, Character & Leadership | Gov. Wes Moore | Moderated by: Wright Thompson

Long before leading a state, Wes Moore was running routes on the football field at Johns Hopkins, where preparation, trust and teamwork were essential to success. In this conversation moderated by Wright Thompson, Moore reflects on how athletics and team sports shaped his approach to leadership, from leading troops in Afghanistan to building businesses and governing Maryland. The conversation centers on character, exploring how sports cultivate resilience, humility, and the ability to rise after setbacks, and how those lessons endure long after the final whistle.
