What It Really Takes to Serve in Public Office (with Zach Wamp)
Most people have opinions about how government should work, but very few are willing to put their name on a ballot and do something about it. In this episode, Zach Wamp and I talk about what it was like serving eight terms as U.S. Representative for Tennessee's 3rd District before running one of the most competitive governor's races in state history. He also shares what a life in public service actually asks of a person and what it looks like to walk away from it with no regrets.
