In this episode of The End of the Beginning, we welcome former U.S. Representative, Army veteran, and historian Chris Gibson to discuss his book The Spirit of Philadelphia and the enduring principles that shaped the American republic.

Our conversation explores civic responsibility, leadership in divided times, and how historical understanding can inform contemporary governance. Gibson reflects on the Founding era, the responsibilities of public service, and the role of history in sustaining democratic institutions.

A thoughtful discussion on leadership, citizenship, and why the lessons of the past remain essential today.
