Beschrijving

Liz sits down with Pennsylvania State Representatives Jared Solomon and Jesse Topper for a conversation about friendship, public service, and what it really takes to work across political difference. One is a Democrat from one of the most diverse districts in Pennsylvania; the other is a Republican from one of the most conservative and least diverse districts in the state. Yet together, they have built a genuine friendship and a shared commitment to institutional reform, civic trust, and human connection. They reflect on how their relationship began, why breaking bread matters, what the PA-1 Caucus is trying to accomplish, and why family, friendship, and faith remain at the center of their work.

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

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.
