Why Our Government is Broken and How to Fix It ft Joe Lonsdale
In this episode, I sit down with Joe Lonsdale , prominent investor, entrepreneur, and thought leader, to dive deep into some of the most pressing issues today. We discuss everything from the endorsement of Trump by diverse thinkers to the urgent need for new institutions in media, healthcare, and beyond.
Joe shares his thoughts on the importance of free speech, the flaws in DEI policies, and how incentives like money drive success. We also explore leadership in defense and international relations, the brokenness of our government, and the delicate balance between ambition and finding true contentment.
