Today on the Servant Leadership Podcast, we’re honored to welcome Carlos Campo. Carlos’s story is deeply rooted in his parents’ inspiring legacy—his father, a Cuban immigrant and the first Hispanic bandleader on national television, and his mother, a pioneering performer and sister to Rosemary Clooney. These influences shaped Carlos into a humble, passionate servant leader who values authenticity and listening as cornerstones of leadership. Carlos has worn many hats in his career, from professor to university president at Regent University and Ashland University, and now as a leader at one of the most influential institutions in the world. At the Museum of the Bible, Carlos is working to inspire millions, curating an experience that goes far beyond exhibits to engage hearts and minds with the power of Scripture. His leadership is marked by humility, an unwavering faith, and a commitment to serving others. In this episode, Carlos opens up about the lessons learned from his unique upbringing, his philosophy on transitions and walking through open doors, and his vision for the Museum of the Bible as a place that transforms lives, one visitor at a time. Join us for this inspiring conversation with Carlos Campo as he shares profound insights on leadership, faith, and the transformative power of the Bible.
