Healing as a nation starts with one simple thing in my opinion: listening. We don’t have to agree, but we do need to try and understand each other. For years, I avoided controversial conversations to keep the peace—but I’ve learned that true progress comes from leaning into uncomfortable dialogues. So, when I had the chance to sit down with Tomi Lahren, an outspoken Republican, I almost hesitated. But then I remembered: my whole purpose in starting this podcast almost 10 years ago was to learn, grow, and heal through understanding different perspectives.
In this episode, Tomi, the Outkick Podcast Host of “Tomi Lahren is Fearless,” opens up about why her beliefs run so deep, the cost of speaking out, and her hopes for the future. She even shares where she doesn’t align with extreme conservative views, offering insights that might surprise you.
If you’re ready to hear an honest, unfiltered conversation and step outside your comfort zone, this episode is for you. Tune in and let’s learn together!
