In this episode of English Plus Podcast, we dive deep into some of history’s most uncomfortable chapters with the series On The Wrong Side of History. Join Danny as he unpacks five powerful stories—the rise and fall of The Berlin Wall, the brutal reign of The Inquisition, the harsh reality of Apartheid South Africa, the hysteria that fueled The Salem Witch Trials, and the long-lasting scars of Colonialism in Africa.
But these stories aren’t just about the past—they’re lessons we need to learn today to ensure we don’t repeat the same mistakes. Are we still building walls, dividing ourselves, or allowing fear to shape our actions?
Vigilant leadership is about steering through uncertainty, much like navigating a ship in foggy waters. In this lesson, you’ll discover how vigilant leaders go beyond immediate concerns, scanning for early signs of change and preparing for potential disruptions before they materialize.

Through real-world examples like Kodak’s missed opportunity, you’ll learn the value of staying curious and maintaining an anticipatory mindset that can mean the difference between adapting and being left behind. This lesson introduces the foundational mindset of vigilant leadership: constant awareness, readiness for the unexpected, and a proactive approach to navigating change.
