Inspired by an event at which Barack Obama spoke, Pete brings Jen an idea that he talked about onstage, which is that leadership is like a relay race.

Specifically, in this episode Jen and Pete talk about:

• How might being a leader require passing the baton to those you are leading or coaching?
• What are some ways you can prepare for taking on a new position or challenge, when taking over from someone else?
• Once you have asked a tension-filled question, why is it important to not take control back or to fill the silence it might have caused?
