• EP 36: Max Klau & Tyler Lapkin

  In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Max Klau to explore the intersection of leadership, service, and inner transformation.Max’s work centers on the transformational path of servant leadership: helping individuals integrate their inner life with outer impact. A Harvard-trained scholar in human development and leadership, Max has spent decades designing programs that support leaders who are committed to service. He most recently served as Chief Program Officer at New Politics Leadership Academy, where he worked to bring more military veterans and national service alumni into politics.His upcoming book, Developing Servant Leaders at Scale, offers a roadmap for growing compassionate, courageous leaders.Deeply influenced by Joseph Campbell, Max views leadership as a mythic process—an invitation to face your shadow, grow from adversity, and return with wisdom in service of something greater than yourself.In this conversation, we explore Max's journey, what true servant leadership looks like, and how building better leaders might just be one of the most powerful ways to heal our fractured world.To find our more about Max visit: https://www.maxklau.com/Center for Courageous Wholeness website:https://www.centerforcourageouswholeness.org/Pre order Max’s book:https://www.amazon.com/Developing-Servant-Leaders-Scale-Matters/dp/1837081654 For more information on the MythMaker Podcast Network and Joseph Campbell, visit JCF.org.
