 My candidate for the first state dinner would be President Mohammedou Buhari of Nigeria. That's an unusual choice, but Nigeria is an absolutely critical country in Africa, critical on everything from economic growth, tech innovation and counter-terrorism. And President Buhari is democratically elected. He's a Muslim president who succeeded a Christian president. The symbolism is very important. The country and the continent are critically important, and that would be my pick. Asking any author about a book the president should read immediately makes me think mine, of course. But what I would actually say is the next president should read Jamie Marisotys' America Needs Talent. It is a short book that essentially explains why talent and the cultivation and recruiting and nurturing of talent is essential to the United States for just about every issue we face. My advice for the next president would be to check in regularly with Bryan Stevenson. Bryan Stevenson runs the Equal Justice Initiative seeking equal justice for all races and faiths. He has his finger on the pulse of many of the most disadvantaged and discriminated against Americans, and he will help pierce the Beltway bubble.
