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.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
