Hey folks,
Katie Phang and I went all in on this one. We started with my half-baked book idea about personal responsibility in a time of fraud, corruption, and broken systems, and it turned into this raw, honest conversation about masculinity, burnout, Kamala, Jasmine Crockett vs. James Talarico, Trump’s chaos, and what accountability actually looks like for each of us. This one’s messy, emotional, political, and very, very human.
[00:01:07] The seed of the book idea, and how personal responsibility collides with a corrupt political system and my own mental health.
[00:09:45] Masculinity, loneliness, and why the right keeps capturing angry young men while we avoid the conversation.
[00:18:30] MAGA as a “big tent,” Trump selling AI chips to China, and what a functional Congress would do instead.
[00:27:40] Jasmine Crockett vs. James Talarico, and the tension between brawlers and bridge-builders in Democratic politics.
[00:38:55] The Kamala Harris conversation: racism, misogyny, polling, and the real work of accountability.
This episode cuts right to the heart of what so many of us are feeling — stretched thin, trying to stay grounded, and still fighting for a country that aligns with our values. If conversations like this matter to you, help me keep them alive and accessible.
