Discussion about service, patriotism, faith, leadership, technology, and the responsibility to leave no one behind.Governor Moore explains why "service saved me," beginning with the mentors, teachers, coaches, ministers, aunties, and uncles who saw his potential before he could see it himself. He reflects on losing his father at age three, wearing handcuffs by eleven, being sent to military school, and eventually discovering that leadership is not about individual achievement. It is about lifting as we climb.The conversation then turns to the meaning of American patriotism. Governor Moore draws a sharp distinction between patriotism and nationalism, arguing that faith, not fear, is the foundation of a more perfect union. He and Mick also discuss Maryland's public-safety progress, service-year opportunities, apprenticeships, cannabis pardons, energy affordability, AI, data-center accountability, and why technological progress must include guardrails and public trust.IN THIS EPISODEFEATURED SPEECHWatch Governor Wes Moore's July 4, 2026 address, "The Work of Patriotism":https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfLQy82IsWoRead the official transcript:https://governor.maryland.gov/news/speeches/work-patriotismConnect & Discover Governor Wes Moore:Website: theofficeofgovernorwesmoore.comLinkedIn: @iamwesmooreX: @iamwesmooreFacebook: @iamwesmooreInstagram: @iamwesmooreFOLLOW MICK ON:Spotify: MickUnpluggedInstagram: @mickunplugged Facebook: @mickunpluggedYouTube:  @MickUnpluggedPodcast LinkedIn: @mickhunt Website:  MickHuntOfficial.comWebsite: howtobeagoodleader.comWebsite: Leadloudseries.comApple: MickUnplugged
