When I was in seventh grade, I wrote a research paper on Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. I was fascinated by the way she carried herself through public scrutiny, personal grief, and cultural change. Today, we live in a very different media landscape. Algorithms reward outrage. Virality rewards speed. Money rewards attention. Integrity? Not so much. In this episode, I explore:   What changed between the era of shared cultural narratives and today\u2019s fragmented feeds   Why we may be living in a \u201ctrust recession\u201d   How money, clicks, and status shape modern leadership   The danger of urgency-driven decision making   Why reluctant, values-aligned leaders may be the ones we need most   And how moral leadership starts inside each of us   As we kick off Women\u2019s History Month 2026, this conversation sets the foundation for the stories ahead: women who embody high character in big and small ways. This isn\u2019t about nostalgia...I mean kind of. I love waxing nostalgic. But this conversation is about personal leadership and responsibility. It starts with us. \ud83d\udd17 Links Referenced in This Episode   Malcolm Gladwell \u2013 Revisionist History Podcast &quot;When Will Met Grace:&quot;  https:\/\/www.pushkin.fm\/podcasts\/revisionist-history\/when-will-met-grace   Wellness Wheel (Life Balance Assessment Tool)  https:\/\/www.the-restorationproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Wellness-Wheel.pdf   Values Exercise  https:\/\/www.the-restorationproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Refining-Your-Values-1.pdf   The Restoration Project \u2013 Weekly Leadership Momentum Emails https:\/\/the-restorationproject.myflodesk.com\/newsletter   ","author_name":"The Found Podcast with Molly Knuth","author_url":"http:\/\/www.mollyknuthmedia.com\/podcast","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/40269550\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/199182775"}
