Yesterday, three-time NBA champion Stephen Curry<\/strong> sat down with former President Barack Obama<\/strong> for a candid discussion regarding key themes from President Obama\u2019s recently released memoir,\u00a0A Promised Land<\/strong><\/em>. Reaching their combined audience of 66 million Instagram followers, the 46-minute conversation explored integral moments from President Obama\u2019s personal journey and presidency that have informed his views on life, leadership and issues in society, including the importance of mentorship, the influence of strong women and the ongoing pursuit of racial and social justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See highlights below, or rewatch the event\u00a0HERE<\/a>\u00a0Credit: SC30 Inc.<\/em> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Leadership:<\/strong> SC:<\/strong><\/span> As a father, you have a sense of leadership and you need to direct and make those tough decisions and obviously you and Michelle are dialing through the ups and downs together. In terms of the leadership perspective, obviously you\u2019re also accountable for a staff and an administration that is looking to you for guidance and leadership. I can\u2019t compare me and my locker room to The White House but terms of the position I\u2019m in being the oldest guy in the locker room\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BO:<\/span><\/strong> You\u2019re an old man!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SC:<\/span><\/strong> I didn\u2019t say all that! I just said I\u2019m the\u00a0oldest.\u00a0<\/em>I\u2019m a young old. So in terms of leading into that leadership and mentorship side of it\u2026.are there any examples of where, you know, that materialized during your first term and some tough decisions and ways you leaned into that role?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BO:<\/span><\/strong> One mistake I think a lot of people make is that you\u2019re just either born a leader or you\u2019re not. When, in fact, leadership is, like anything else, it\u2019s a skill. And there are a bunch of different ways to do it. I \u2018ve known people who were great leaders but really soft spoken and weren\u2019t always trying to seek attention. The thing I try to communicate in the book and I learned this, I wasn\u2019t always perfect at it\u2026number one was realizing that the most important thing a leader does is they set a tone in terms of culture as a team. Whether the team is a a basketball team or a business or an administration. What are the values in which you are organizing yourselves?….Being clear about what your values are as an organization, that\u2019s part of leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BO:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0(later on, in second part of his answer):\u00a0<\/em>The second thing, and this, I know you can relate to, because it\u2019s a direct analogy to basketball or any team sport\u2026is figuring out, how do you help the people around you succeed?…If you can figure out how to empower the other folks on your team so they\u2019re doing great, that\u2019s good for you. And by the way, they\u2019ll feel good about your leadership because they\u2019re seeing that you\u2019re invested in their success. And the mistake I think some folks make is to think being a leader is \u201cHow do I dominate and stay on top of other folks?\u201d If you have that kind of approach, your organization or whatever it is, is not going to be as good as it should be and by the way, you\u2019re not going to have the same tight bonds so that when, inevitably, something goes wrong, you got other people to pick each other up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Bin Laden:<\/strong> BO:<\/span><\/strong> The book ends with the raid to get Bin Laden and I kind of lay out step by step how that happened. And when you look at all the moving parts and the hundreds of people who under complete secrecy had to operate on the highest levels and trust each other, everybody from the intelligence folks who figured out meticulously the detective work to figure out where he was to the Navy Seals who built a whole compound just like the compound in Abottabad, Pakistan and practiced and trained, to the translator who, in case the neighbors came around as the helicopters landed could tell folks \u201cThis is just a military affair, go back in your houses,\u201d to the canine who was on the helicopters and to the diplomats who\u00a0 had to manage the fallout. You look and you think, it\u2019s a perfect example of what you described\u2026and that\u2019s part of why I had the book because I want people to see when government works. When any important thing happens, it is because we\u2019re doing it as a group collectively, with a shared sense of mission. And when that falls apart, I don\u2019t care how much talent, how much money\u2026it will not work. Things will break down. And that\u2019s, I think, one of the biggest themes of the book, because that applies to America as a whole. We\u2019re in a moment where we\u2019re really divided and it\u2019s really important for us to remind ourselves\u2026any of the seminal moments of American history,there may have been a leader who helped make that happen but it\u2019s thousands, hundreds of thousands of people who are involved in that success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mrs. Obama DNC Speech Story:<\/strong> SC: <\/span><\/strong>Can you give us an example of a hard decision Michelle was instrumental in helping you land in the right spot or somewhere that she influenced the way you presented yourself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BO:<\/strong><\/span> A lot of times with Michelle, is in really stressful moments, the thing that she\u2019s really good at is actually making me laugh. Like, I write about how right before the Democratic National Convention speech in 2004\u2026this was my first big national speech. It was really kind of the coming-out party nationally, so it was a big deal. And it was sort of a surprise, I\u2019d been selected\u2026so I\u2019d written this speech and I knew it was good but I feel a little bit like \u201cMan I wonder how this is gonna go?\u201d So she comes up, I\u2019m about to be announced and she looks at me, she squeezes my hand and she leans over real close and she says, \u201cHoney\u2026don\u2019t screw it up.\u201d And I start cracking up. And that was perfect, that\u2019s what I needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strong Women In Life\/Partner\u2019s Strength:<\/strong> BO:<\/span><\/strong> Nothing is better than having a partner who is complementary to you. That sees things you don\u2019t, that has covered you on some blind spots, that can teach you something. Now that means that there\u2019s probably going to be some friction because they\u2019re strong-minded and they\u2019ve got opinions. They\u2019re not always going to mesh\u2026. But I am better because I\u2019ve got someone who has strengths that I don\u2019t have, that sees things I don\u2019t see and I\u2019d like to think that she feels the same way. And that I think has been one of the foundation stones of our relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BO: <\/span><\/strong>The other thing it teaches you, which becomes even more important when you have a daughter\u2026as a man, you\u2019ve got to have confidence. In seeing the strength of your wife and partner. Rather than wanting them to make themselves small to pump you up. One of the great blessings of being married to Michelle is the example she\u2019s set. Now I won\u2019t have to worry that Malia and Sasha are ever going to kind of dim their light because somehow that\u2019s supposed to be the role they play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Closing Statement:<\/strong> BO:<\/span><\/strong> I want people to read this and say \u201cActually I have a better sense now of how our government works, of how the world works, how power works, how decisions get made and influence the world around me and that my voice, and my ability to impact that, is more significant than I thought.\u201d\u2026I want folks to read this and say \u201cI can do that.\u201d I want people to be able to see that government by and for the people, it actually can happen if you get involved. Put yourself out there get in the arena, take your shot, it\u2019s not gonna be perfect, you won\u2019t get everything out of it that you want but you will have more power than you understand if you just let it show and take some risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
