• Quite a lot of people are excited about Donald Trump’s inauguration—and among them are several leaders in the Middle East—in Israel, Egypt, Libya and elsewhere. We’ll talk about why they are optimistic, and how Mr. Trump’s policies may affect the Middle East.

• A great number of Japan’s leaders belong to a nationalist group called Nippon Kaigi. It’s a nationalist group aimed at restoring Japan to its imperial greatness. Learn about this group and what it believes, and you’ll get a lot of insight into the direction and the future of Japan.

• Pharmaceutical companies are making billions supplying drugs to cure all kinds of ailments. But there’s evidence that some of these disorders are actually manufactured simply to sell people on new drugs and make more money. It’s a trend called “disease mongering.”

• And I’ll conclude the program with an ancient, but timeless and terrific, checklist of how to grow in your leadership.
