Lessons on Leadership from Media and Politics with Rich Lowry
Today on The Servant Leadership Podcast, we’re joined by Rich Lowry—Editor-in-Chief of National Review and one of the most influential voices in American media and culture. For decades, Rich has helped shape the national conversation, leading a publication founded by William F. Buckley Jr. and dedicated to timeless conservative values. Under his leadership, National Review has expanded across print, digital, video, and podcast platforms—engaging millions with thoughtful commentary and debate.
In this episode, Rich unpacks how conviction, clarity, and humility shape the way he leads in an increasingly noisy world. He shares how servant leadership shows up in media and politics, how to handle criticism with grace, and what it means to pursue truth in a culture of constant opinion. Whether you’re leading a team, raising a family, or navigating culture with conviction, this conversation will challenge how you think about truth, influence, and what it really means to lead well.
