Ron Kirk—beloved former mayor of Dallas and United States Trade Representative —sits down with Grant in Episode 3 to share the tense and impactful moments that shaped his service in President Obama’s cabinet, his morning routine, his round of golf with Tiger Woods and President Obama, and his belief that a joyful and optimistic attitude can help you discover the hilarity in everyday life.

Episode 04: Dean Fearing

Welcome to “I DO THIS BECAUSE” – an interview series that reveals the motivations and personalities of people in Dallas who lead us. We avoid biographical questions, and we set aside hot-button issues that divide rather than unite. Instead, we dive straight into the hearts of leaders in all industries. Those who receive praise and those who deserve more.
What inspires them, what gives them courage, what promotes humility in the midst of fame. How they conquer stress, how they manage crises, and how they retain a sense of humor under pressure.
