Forging a President: How Hardship and Rivalry Shaped JFK

Today my guest, Scott Badler, is a Kennedy scholar and the author of the new book, Becoming JFK: John F. Kennedy's Early Path to Leadership. He joins us to pull back the curtain on JFK's formative years, revealing the scrappy underdog behind the legend and the key experiences that forged a president. Scott, welcome to the show.

Most portraits of John F. Kennedy begin with his presidency, but the crucial journey of his early years—from 1935 to 1946—is often overlooked. How did a young man plagued by illness, intense family pressure, and his own rebellious streak develop the strategic acumen to become a world leader?
