LAW #2: DON'T FIRE ALL YOUR AMMUNITION AT ONCE.
O'Keefe had 12 ACORN videos. He released one per day for five days. Each drop hit harder because the last one was still in the news. ACORN is gone. Timing is a weapon @LeadershipInst

Just wrapped the spring leg of my college speaking tour across the country with @LeadershipInst at my Alma mater @CatholicUniv — and honestly, it gave me a lot of hope for the next generation.

I spoke to students about faith, family, freedom, courage, conviction, and what it means to build a life instead of just reacting to one. About rejecting resentment culture. About choosing responsibility over victimhood. About becoming builders instead of professional complainers.

One thing became very clear:

Gen Z is not weak.
They’re searching.

Searching for truth.
Searching for meaning.
Searching for leaders who actually believe what they say.

I told students this everywhere I went:

“Hardship isn’t your excuse. Hard is your advantage.”

I talked about how the loudest voices online profit from keeping young people angry, isolated, and addicted to grievance — while real conservatism calls people to build:
Families.
Businesses.
Communities.
Lives rooted in faith and purpose.

And the biggest response I got all tour?

Family.

Young people are starving for someone to tell them that marriage, children, faithfulness, responsibility, and loving your country are still noble things worth pursuing.

I truly believe the most countercultural thing you can do in 2026 is love one person for life, raise kids who love God and country, and build something that lasts.

This spring tour was incredible. Packed rooms. Tough conversations. Students staying afterward asking real questions about purpose, leadership, faith, relationships, and courage.

The future is not hopeless.
But it will belong to the builders.

We’ll pick the tour back up this fall. See you on campus soon. 🇺🇸

A single moment can define an entire campaign, and this workshop examines how those moments happen.

Rick Tyler examines how political gaffes shape campaigns, damage reputations, and, in some cases, follow candidates into office. These moments are not isolated mistakes. They are inflection points that expose weaknesses in preparation, messaging, and campaign structure.

Ryan Brann focuses on what comes next. Campaigns cannot avoid every mistake, but they can control the response. Participants will learn how to contain damage, reframe the narrative, and move forward without allowing a single moment to define the campaign.

Ronald Reagan has had a great deal of influence on the world. Incredible economic achievements, the defeat of the soviet union, and many others. That influence didn't stop with his passing, but lives on with those whom he inspired - Morton Blackwell of Leadership Institute, for one, and Peggy Grande another.

Peggy Grande served as Reagan's post-presidency Executive Assistant for a decade; she recently visited Leadership Institute, and shared some of her stories from that time 👇
