Joseph Lai on the Power of Connections

This week, we have another amazing TFAS alumnus on the Liberty + Leadership Podcast: former special assistant to the President and current principal at BGR Government Affairs, Joseph Lai. Joe serves on the TFAS Board of Regents and is an alumnus of the TFAS Public Policy and Economics program. He was also a member of the inaugural class of TFAS Public Policy Fellows in 2007. Prior to his time at the White House, Joe worked in the U.S. Senate for more than a decade, most recently as legislative director to Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi. In this week's episode, Roger and Joe discuss what it's like to work in the White House, his time on Capitol Hill and why you should never lunch alone.

The Liberty + Leadership Podcast is hosted by TFAS President, Roger Ream and produced by kglobal. If you have a comment or question for the show, please drop us an email at podcast@TFAS.org.
