Taylor Sage Tresler

Hi, my name is Sage Tresler. I began this project the summer before my senior year of high school (July 2025). It has been a great privilege to speak with such exceptional individuals and write reports on those conversations. As a passionate student of history, being in a position that enabled me to interview these modern leaders has been like observing history in motion.

I am pursuing a future in journalism, and this is just the beginning. Through Arc of Authority, I have been developing skills in research, interviewing, writing, and analysis while building relationships with leaders across multiple fields. Each conversation has strengthened my ability to listen carefully, ask intentional questions, and translate complex perspectives into clear, thoughtful reports.

I hope you find these conversations as insightful and meaningful as I have. It is my intention that this project not only documents the experiences of those I have interviewed, but also encourages thoughtful reflection on the concept of leadership and authority at every level.
