Dear Minority Leaders,
Its been a few weeks, but we are back in full force!
In this episode I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Yleem D.S. Poblete, former Assistant Secretary of State for Arms Control, Trump Administration and Co-Founder of Poblete Analysis Group, LLC.
I first met Yleem when she was Republican Staff Director of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and have watched her career flourish in the decade and a half since. During our conversation, Yleem details her Cuban American roots and journey to the highest levels of power in Washington. There's something inspiring about how her personal narrative intertwines with her professional accomplishments, revealing the undeniable impact of her diasporan experience on her journey in public service Yleem provides a candid look at the reality of navigating government as a political appointee. We discuss her support for Donald Trump's 2024 campaign, and the contrast between public personas and the actual work of politics. While we clearly disagree on political matters, we navigate our disagreement with grace and mutual respect, with Yleem noting the relevance of the recent Iowa Caucuses and New Hampshire primary on political discourse.
Our conversation is a powerful reminder of the need to foster relationships across political divides, and it underscores the significance of nuanced governance in an era often void of such subtleties.
Its a good listen. I hope you enjoy this podcast as much as we did and share it with someone with differing political viewpoints than yours. Then let me know what you think!
