    Ep. 42: America the Polarized: How Personalities and Primaries Have Shaped U.S. Politics

    David French is a dissenter. The attorney turned conservative political commentator abandoned the Republican party in 2016. His reason? Donald Trump. The evangelical Christian was disgusted by the controversial candidate, his lack of character and authoritarian beliefs. Since then, his critiques of the MAGA movement have only grown — so too has his voice.  In 2019, French became the Senior Editor of the Dispatch, an online conservative news outlet. Four years later, he left. In 2023, French joined the New York Times as an op-ed columnist. Last August, he penned one of his most read works, “To Save Conservatism from Itself, I am Voting for Harris” for the outlet. In this episode of Climbing the Charts, Angie Lawless and Brandon Miller sit down with self-proclaimed “independent conservative” to understand how personality politics, primaries and activists have landed American politics in extremism.

    Ep. 36: Paper to Playmaker: Meet Titans CEO Burke Nihill

    Four years ago, Burke Nihill ran across a job listing on LinkedIn: General Counsel for the Tennessee Titans. He applied, but he didn’t think he would be drafted. His sports “experience” included dreaming of “wanting to be the third baseman for the Chicago Cubs” and declining an offer to play basketball at a Division 3 College. Nonetheless, Nihill won owners over. 4 promotions and 8 seasons later, the former OfficeMax attorney turned Titan’s CEO is quarterbacking the organization through its most watched season — the construction of a new Nissan stadium. Slated to open in 2027, the 60,000 seat, enclosed arena is estimated to cost nearly $2.1 billion.  In this episode of Climbing the Charts, the CEO delves into the design of the stadium and how its experiences will bring more than a Super Bowl to this city.
