In his first book, The Showman, Simon relates how he saw firsthand Zelensky conduct this war, from the bunker to the frontlines, and how he used his experience as a communicator to articulate, and inspire, the country’s defiance.
In the book and our interview, Simon examines how the brutal invasion and Ukrainian resistance changed Zelensky, creating a tougher, more serious man than he had first met in 2019 on the eve of his astonishing presidential victory.
It was a privilege to be able to speak to Simon – a longtime listener of the podcast – and understand more about his time in the Presidential bunker during the first year of the war.
Simon's book is available from the following links:
