episode Lamar Alexander: Purpose, Public Service, and the Power of Getting Things Done | S3E18 cover

Description

Liz sits down with former Tennessee Senator and Governor Lamar Alexander for a conversation about leadership, family, music, and what public service is really supposed to look like. From growing up in a small Tennessee town with a piano lesson and a library card, to serving alongside ten U.S. presidents, Lamar reflects on the values that shaped him, the importance of relationships across political lines, and why governing should be about results—not constant conflict. He shares stories from the Senate, the campaign trail, his thousand-mile walk across Tennessee, and the partnership he built with his late wife, Honey. Throughout the conversation, Lamar offers a thoughtful perspective on purpose, humor, music, family, and the enduring value of service.
