AMXtalks 236 - Frank Luna, Political Staffer Turned Over-Age National Guardsman

There’s no freakin’ way to do justice to this episode in a description. This is THE FIRST TALK EVER between The Spaniard and Frank Luna (@frankaluna), introduced to him by the legendary Jackie DellaTorre (@chapstickeater) of Episode 215 and The Spaniard's memoir "Driven." The guys just hit go and recorded. Frank shares his unique story: South Jersey boy experiencing the Parkway and having porches and foyers turned into bedrooms … contributing to political efforts from his early teens … working for four losing campaigns in a row before helping Chris Christie become governor and later becoming burned out on his staff … then entering and exiting political consulting, not to mention a serious relationship. Frank brings us up to today, when he is living a mostly-happy life in and out of a 1985 Vanagon and is soon to start National Guard boot camp after snagging an age waiver. Whew. What a first ride together these two shared. P.S. You’ll hear that Frank made up the VERY SAME WORD as Spanny! It’s an act of Luna-cy as well as a Spaniardism!
