Welcome to the Lessons Lost in Time Podcast. I’m Bill Murray. Here, with a few fellow misfits and sharp minds, we’re digging through the wreckage of history—looking at how real leaders dealt with real problems when the stakes were high and the playbook was blank.
If you’re the kind of person who likes to question things, pick at the edges, and think a little deeper about why the world is the way it is and what we can do about it, then pull up a chair. Because if we want new solutions, we need to discuss old problems.

How do nations keep going—through war, peace, and all the mess in between? They tell stories. About glory. About sacrifice. About who they are, and who they think they are. These stories build will, shape identity, and sometimes, keep people holding on long after logic would tell them to quit.
I’m sitting down with my friend Nikki Dean—a sharp mind and a PhD candidate who knows a thing or two about the power of narrative. We’re digging into how countries craft myths, stitch together identities, and use stories to turn chaos into meaning. Even when the facts fall short, the story keeps marching on.
