Quote:
"The means of defense against foreign danger have been always the instruments of tyranny at home." — James Madison

🎧 Episode Summary:
Scott offers a reflective, personal meditation on freedom for Independence Day. Drawing on Madison’s warning about the fragility of liberty, he brings the conversation down to earth—acknowledging personal losses, embracing memento mori, and reminding us that freedom is both responsibility and gift. It’s about how we choose to live, love, and lead while we’re here.

🧠 What You’ll Learn Today:

• Why freedom is precious precisely because it’s fragile
• How memento mori (remembering death) can inspire gratitude and purpose
• Why freedom is a responsibility we carry for ourselves—and for those who no longer can

💬 Share This With a Leader Who:

• Needs to slow down and reflect on what freedom truly means
• Has experienced loss and wants to honor those memories through how they live
• Wants to lead with humility, gratitude, and integrity
