Shilo Brooks on Statesmanship, Civil Discourse, and America’s Next 250 Years
What does civic leadership require as the United States of America approaches its 250th anniversary? Host Lili Clark welcomes Shilo Brooks, President and CEO of the George W. Bush Presidential Center, for a thoughtful conversation on civil discourse, self-government, technology, philanthropy, and the future of American leadership. Shilo talks about how the Bush Center is using America 250 as a moment to look both backward and forward, asking what values can help the country flourish over the next 250 years. He discusses the importance of civic literacy, the role of private associations in strengthening communities, and why civil discourse begins with humility, curiosity, and the willingness to see others as reasonable people of goodwill. The conversation also explores the risks of technology and artificial intelligence when they short-circuit independent thought, as well as the vital role philanthropy has played in shaping America’s educational, civic, medical, and cultural institutions. Shilo shares leadership lessons from President George W. Bush, explains why curiosity is foundational to great leadership, and reflects on the book that quite literally changed the trajectory of his life.

We Broke the Rules: The Creative Research of Nanoparticle Expert Dr. Daniel Siegwart
Most nanoparticles “go to the liver,” and for years, that limitation blocked genetic medicines from reaching organs like the lungs. In this episode of Learning From Leaders, host Mason Smith sits down with Daniel Siegwart, Ph.D., a UT Southwestern professor of biomedical engineering and biochemistry and Director of UT Southwestern’s Program in Genetic Drug Engineering, to explain how his lab cracked the delivery code and what that breakthrough could mean for patients. Dr. Siegwart explains, in plain language, how he’s using lipid nanoparticles and how delivery is the missing link that turns powerful tools like mRNA and CRISPR into real-world therapies. He shares the leadership lessons he absorbed from legendary mentors, including MIT’s Bob Langer, and how those lessons shaped his approach to building teams, creating intellectual property, and translating discoveries into companies like ReCode Therapeutics and SignifyBio. You’ll also hear Dr. Siegwart’s take on Dallas-Fort Worth’s growing biotech ecosystem, why collaboration matters across academia and industry, and how AI and automation can accelerate scientific discovery.

Ho Din Award Surprise: Hannah Chang’s Path to Standout Medical Student
In this episode of Learning from Leaders, we welcomed a very special guest: Hannah Chang, M.D. Dr. Chang is a member of the UT Southwestern Medical School class of 2026. Dr. Chang is the 2026 recipient of the Ho Din Award, and we had the honor of delivering the good news as a surprise on the podcast. This award is the highest honor bestowed upon a graduating med student at UT Southwestern and has been awarded for more than 80 years, dating back to the inception of Southwestern Medical College – the precursor to what is now UT Southwestern. Beyond the surprise, we talked to Hannah about what it means to be a leader in her own right as a medical student, and now as she transitions into a medical resident and the expectations that come with becoming a doctor. Dr. Chang shares moments from Match Day, her time at UT Southwestern, her volunteer experiences, and looks ahead to her future and how she wants to shape her career as a future leader. Dr. Chang reflects on what it takes to navigate the residency match process, why dermatology needs a strong foundation in general medicine, and how UT Southwestern’s diverse training sites shaped her development. She also shares the mentors who helped guide her path, her passion for pediatric and vulvar dermatology, and the leadership lessons she learned through service at a free clinic and as a patient navigator. Along the way, Dr. Chang describes how music and teamwork intersect through the UT Southwestern Heartstrings Ensemble, and why philanthropy is essential to advancing research, education, and equitable care.
