In our opening episode, we sit down with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to talk about leading with empathy and accountability during moments of crisis, including the early days of the pandemic and the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder. Governor Walz shares what he’s learned from his time as a teacher, a veteran, and a governor, and why authenticity and human connection are critical when the stakes are high. We also talk about where the Democratic Party goes from here, exploring the hard lessons from 2024 and what it will take to reconnect with voters across the country—especially in unexpected places.
