Matt Lewis joins me for a real conversation about identity, work, and courage. Matt is a columnist and author of Filthy Rich Politicians and Too Dumb to Fail, and the host of Matt Lewis Can’t Lose. He has appeared on C-SPAN, PBS NewsHour, MSNBC’s Morning Joe, HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, and CBS News’ Face The Nation as a political commentator.
We talk about growing up in rural Maryland, early career detours, why political consulting was the wrong fit, and how writing, teaching, and podcasting became the right lane. You’ll hear what “crunchy cons” means, how to check whether your beliefs are truly yours, and the simple filter Matt uses for work and life: choose easy, work hard. If you are ready to stop shrinking and show up as yourself, this one is for you.
