Pam Keith was the
Democratic Nominee for Florida’s 18th Congressional District,
winning the 2020 primary with 80% of the vote—a record for this
district. Unfortunately she lost to a much lesser human. But
whatever Pam chooses to do next is going to be really great.
Pam is
the daughter of a U.S. Diplomat and former U.S. Ambassador. She was
born in Turkey and lived in Morocco, Syria, Brazil, and several
U.S. cities before going to high school in Oakland, CA and
attending U.C. Davis for her BA and MA degrees. She then attended
Boston College Law School where she was Moot Court champion and
made Law Review. Her desire to serve her country led Pam to
commission into the U.S. Navy as a JAG Officer in 1995. She served
for four years, including a tour as Officer in Charge of the Legal
Services Office in Bahrain. Ms. Keith later served as the first JAG
assigned to the Navy Task Force on Computer Network Security. She
speaks French, Spanish, and Portuguese. When elected, Pam will
serve as the first Black female veteran in the history of the
United States Congress.
David
Campbell is an Australian singer/songwriter who is also the
host of The Today Show every weekday morning LIVE from Sydney. He
is also one of my oldest and closest friends / mates. I was so
happy to have his perspective from down under
Bill
Boyle is a well sourced and connected businessman who
lives in Washington DC with his wife and son. Bill is a trusted
friend and source for me who I met after he listened and became a
regular and highly respected caller of my siriusxm radio show. Bill
is a voracious reader and listeners love to hear his take. I think
his analysis is as sharp as anyone you will hear on radio or TV and
he has well placed friends across the federal government who are
always talking to him. As far as I can tell he is not in the
CIA. Follow him on
twitter and park at his garages.

subscription to this daily podcast.
Everyday I will interview 2 or more expert guests on a wide range

and vulnerabilities in hopes we can relate, connect and grow
together. If you want to add something to the show email me
