Things we never thought we'd talk about on a podcast about dream jobs: transgenderism in the military, foreign money in American elections, and the mass deportation of Liberian immigrants. We hit all three (and learn about the creepy nightclub where Onnie met his wife!) on this week's episode. And we still have time for a deep dive into the ins and outs of political fundraising and petty bickering about who the "real" host of this podcast is. All in a day's work.
Our guest this week is Tyler Deaton, a political lobbyist and fundraiser who focuses primarily on causes related to human rights and free markets. We try really hard to "talk politics" without getting anyone dis-invited from Thanksgiving dinner. We're aided in that effort by the fact that we recorded this conversation pre-COVID, back when we thought people would actually care about the 2020 presidential election. At this point, any conversation about politics that doesn't immediately devolve into shouted accusations of who's trying to bankrupt who's family business and who's trying to murder who's grandma feels charmingly quaint. So come for the reasonable, non-pandemic politics, stay for the #ProTips on bribing Capital Hill guards. #BackToWork
