What’s the impact of telling the truth—especially in a public setting? In this lively and informative program, John Dean, CNN News contributor and bestselling author, with Michael Cohen, popular “Mea Culpa” podcaster and bestselling author, examine the consequences of truth-telling. And they know! Dean served as White House Counsel for President Richard Nixon from July 1970 until April 1973. He famously “blew up the cover-up” of the Watergate scandal with his testimony to Congress, which was watched by an estimated 85 million Americans. Cohen, former personal lawyer and “fixer” for Donald Trump, testified against the former President in a civil fraud trial. He was the key witness in the New York criminal case convicting Trump of 34 felonies and appeared before Congress on seven occasions to testify about Trump. Based on their personal experiences, the pair examine the reality of truth-telling while looking at positive outcomes, where truth:

• Builds trust.
• Enhances personal authenticity.
• Reduces stress and strengthens relationships.
• Improves mental and physical health.
• Promotes accountability and ethical behavior.
• Enhances reputation.
• Fosters social harmony.
