None of us like to get fired. It can cause intense shame and humiliation. But imagine getting fired by then President of the United States (Donald Trump) with the entire country watching the drama unfold on Fox News.

​

This is exactly what happened to today's guest - Richard Spencer - when he refused to exonerate Commander Eddie Gallagher after breaking the Navy Seal code of honor. How did this make Spencer feel? Did he learn anything?

​

If he could rewind the clock, would he do anything differently? What is his 'True North' moral compass and why does it guide every one of his leadership decisions?
