Chapter 1: What insights does George Washington share about leadership?
Chapter 2: How does George Washington view service in leadership?
All right, here at AmFest with the one and only George Washington. How's it going? It's a pleasure to be with you, sir. What you been up to today?
Most of the time I've been visiting with the many attendees here, and I must say I've been very impressed by the diversity of faces I see and their ideals. While they are all aligned with certain purposes, they each have their own individual direction in which they wish to see things move, and yet they have found themselves in an accordance, which is impressive. Nice. Oh, certainly.
Which ideas have impressed you the most that you ran into this about?
Of course, I'm always very pleased to see anyone who is talking about standing by the rule of law in the Constitution. And there are those that are talking about how best to maintain our liberties, which is a conversation that I have heard before, and I'm very pleased to hear resurfacing.
Chapter 3: What are George Washington's thoughts on Trump's leadership?
I love it. What do you think of Trump winning this election?
Well, sir, I cannot actually speak to anything beyond what I have seen myself. And while I do not know the man, I have heard some of his words here today. And I have been very impressed with his dedication to the people of America, which is one of the greatest causes a president can ever possibly have.
Any similarities you see between yourself and Trump?
Well, I come from a very different state in Virginia than the man does. I understand he is from New York. And so I do not know about similarities, except that he does seem to have an ideal that I hold very deep and close to my heart. And that is that of service, the recognition that this is not a position that one enters
in order to see themselves benefit, but rather that they see the service of others as being the highest and most important calling.
I love it. Everything going well with your vice president?

Chapter 4: What was the biggest risk George Washington took?
Mr. Adams. Well, of course, he is now president himself. Mr. Adams is a man, I think best to be described as a man of great passion and mind who has never let anyone pass by without knowing his exact opinion.
Hmm. Well said, well said. What was the biggest risk you took so far?
Chapter 5: How did George Washington's reputation influence his decisions?
Well, certainly I can say that I've hazarded my life many a time. However, even if I look back on both the French-Nindian War and also our Revolutionary War, my reputation is of very deep importance to me.
And when I was first asked if I would join the convention for the new federal constitution, at the time we thought we were merely revising the Articles of Confederation, but that soon proved the acme of foolishness. And so when I first agreed to that, I knew that I was risking my reputation. I had been a successful general, and I had retired to my far at Mount Vernon.
I thought that was where I would spend the rest of my life, very pleased to live the same life that a Cincinnatus did, who I have found to be an ideal. So that was the first risk that I felt was very great, but then there was one greater, and that was once the constitution had been accepted, Then I was told that I must serve as the first president.
Now, I know of no way to lose one's reputation faster than getting involved in politics.
Yeah. Well, son, if you could have dinner with someone, anyone in the world, dead or alive, who would it be?
Most often, I think if I could have dinner with anyone, I would very much like to see my eldest brother Lawrence again. But I suppose there are those in the past that I would very much like to see. I would, in fact, like to meet Cincinnatus himself. However, I believe there would be a great difficulty as I speak no Latin.
Right.
Who were your biggest inspirations? Hmm. Well, certainly, as I mentioned before, my brother, he I met him for the first time when I was, oh, about seven years old. He had just returned from school and I'd only heard stories about him before that. And so it was meeting someone almost of myth. But he was every ideal that I could hope to live up to. I would say certainly my father.
And I have certainly tried throughout my lives to emulate the scriptures and
