I. Overview & Purpose
Fireside Strategy: An Evening with FDR™ is an emotional and intellectual immersion into one of the most pivotal evenings in U.S. history—the night before the attack on Pearl Harbor, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt sat with his closest advisors in quiet council.
You’ve been invited not as a staffer, not as a bystander, but as a trusted confidant—to share in the last peaceful supper before America joins the war.
This is an experience of leadership under tension, humility amidst magnitude, and history being written over coffee and firelight.
II. The Journey Flow
1. Arrival at the White House (VR + Audio)
• It’s a chilly Washington night
• You are quietly escorted to the Map Room, a space few civilians ever see
• Red curtains are drawn, maps are pinned, and naval dispatches are being received
• FDR sits, smiling, beside the hearth. His eyes are tired, yet steady
• You’re handed a warm cloth napkin.
“Come in,” he says. “I’d like your thoughts over dinner.”
2. The Council Circle (Audio + Insight)
• You’re seated with Eleanor Roosevelt, Secretary of War Henry Stimson, and a few key advisors
• The air carries the scent of tobacco, ink, and lemon polish
• Conversation flows—serious, subtle, never rushed
• You’re invited to speak. Every word matters.
• A radio in the background hums a big band instrumental—dignified and nostalgic
3. The Pre-War Supper (Taste + History)
The meal is deeply American—grounding, balanced, warm. Thoughtfully chosen.
Menu Includes:
• Roast Turkey Breast with Thyme + Cranberry Compote
• Maple Butter Sweet Potatoes
• Steamed Green Beans with Toasted Almonds
• Gluten-Free Cornbread with Honey-Ghee Drizzle
• Apple-Walnut Salad with Lemon-Mustard Vinaigrette

• Dessert:

• Served warm in porcelain dishes, with a cinnamon cream topping
Scent & Energy:
Warm tobacco, beeswax polish, roasted herbs, and a subtle, powerful sense of calm urgency
4. The Hearth Talk (Sound + Energy + Ritual)
• After dinner, everyone gathers near the fire
• FDR lights a cigarette in his long holder
• He turns to you and says:
“Tomorrow will change everything. But tonight… we remember why we fight.”
• The fire crackles. Coffee is poured. Eleanor places her hand over yours.
• A radio crackles. News of Pearl Harbor is en route. The moment hangs.

VII. Final Blessing
“You didn’t just read the history.
You sat beside it.
You tasted it.
You stood with the fire,
and you knew what was coming—
But you stood anyway.
That’s courage. That’s legacy.”
Would you like me to now illustrate the warm White House dining room with FDR seated near the fire, the table set with turkey, cider, maps in the background, and history just moments away?
