A republican and an immigrant on a more united America - Jordan Blashek, Founder of AFF

Thought-provoking chat with Jordan - a dear friend, marine, author of Union: A Democrat, A Republican and a Search for Common Ground, and the founder and president of America’s Frontier Fund (AFF) which is a non-profit raising and deploying $500M toward securing America’s competitiveness in global development. Jordan tells me about his work with AFF, building America's capabilities in a non-escalating way, and what it is like pitching prominent investors. We also discuss bridging the American political divide - how people are not labels like "Republican" and "Democrat" and how the media contributes to polarization. Jordan recounts his biggest fight with his best friend about their differing political views and how the power of friendship and love helped them transcend their differences. We discuss exploring and feeling feelings with folks across the aisle, and how Americans can work together to build a more prosperous union.
