Beto O'Rourke entered politics because of people. He believes in their capacity for goodness and decency. He believes in their potential. And yet– what if his political brand is not exactly what the country wants in 2020? For the first time since suspending his Presidential campaign, Beto reflects on where he succeeded and where he failed these past three years. His strengths and weaknesses as a candidate, and the intense challenges one faces when running for President. We also discuss the circuitous path that led him to politics, from punk-rocking in New York City to a sobering run-in with the law. Then, finally, Beto speaks on the enduring influence his late, larger than life father had on all fronts- as a politician, a man, and parent himself.
