## Resource

On America at Night with McGraw Milhaven, Scott MacFarlane, American journalist and chief Washington correspondent, debuted his new weekly segment “MacFarlane Mondays.” MacFarlane discussed the latest developments surrounding the shooting near the White House Correspondents’ Dinner at the Washington Hilton, and what the incident means for security around major political and media events in Washington. Next, Tracy Walder, NewsNation National Security Contributor and former intelligence officer, joined the program to discuss current national security concerns and the evolving threat environment in the United States and abroad. Later in the show, Michael Lynton, former President of Sony Pictures, and Joshua Steiner, former Chief of Staff in the Clinton administration, joined for a two-part conversation about their book and concept “Owning Mistakes.” The discussion focused on high-profile professional missteps, the lessons leaders can learn from failure, and how acknowledging mistakes can become a powerful tool for personal and professional growth.
