Press, podcasts, and TV, oh my!

Since launching Run for Something in 2017, I’ve done a ton of media — I write, play pundit on TV/podcasts, and advocate for our work across every possible platform that will have me. You can see some examples either to the right (on your desktop) or below (on your phone).

Podcasts

I previously hosted the Run for Something podcast, which spotlighted young leaders across the country.

I also did a stint hosting “Battleground” on the Recount. 

I tend to yap podcasts regularly, including (but not limited to):

TV & video appearances

I do TV a decent amount on all kinds of topics. A few shows and networks I’ve been a guest on:

I also do speaking events all over the place -- ranging from colleges to youth groups to whoever will have me. It’s fun! Email me if you want me to come talk to your group.

Finally, I shoot the shit with reporters on all kinds of topics — usually politics, but sometimes other stuff, too. You can check my social media accounts for updated press mentions.

My favorite interview of the last few years was the one I did for The Cut on “How I get it done.”
