From building WWE with her husband Vince to running for the U.S. Senate in Connecticut and later serving in President Trump’s cabinet, Linda McMahon’s story is nothing short of remarkable.

In this conversation, I sat down with Secretary Linda McMahon, now serving as the U.S. Secretary of Education, to talk about her journey through business, politics, and public service. She opened up about the early days of WWE, what it was like to lose everything and start again, and how those lessons shaped her as a leader and as a mother.

We also talked about her Senate campaigns in Connecticut, her role in the Trump administration, and the bold steps she’s taking to reshape education in this country. From Title IX and protecting women’s sports, to the fight against antisemitism on college campuses, to her push for school choice and literacy, Linda is determined to return education to the states and put students first.

It’s a powerful reminder of what resilience looks like and what leadership can accomplish when it’s rooted in conviction.
