Doug Ducey: Leadership, Education, and the Future of Conservative Governance

Former Arizona Governor Doug Ducey joins Chris and Sean for a wide-ranging conversation that feels more like three old friends sharing a beer than a political interview. Ducey takes listeners back to the beginning, from building Cold Stone Creamery into a nationally recognized brand to his first foray into public service as Arizona State Treasurer and ultimately his two terms as Governor of Arizona. Chris and Sean explore the importance of understanding why you're running for office, the personal and professional challenges that come with public service, and the lessons learned from years spent navigating politics, policy, and leadership. Ducey shares insights on preparing for elected office and staying focused on principles in an increasingly polarized political environment. The conversation also dives into some of Arizona's most important policy successes, including charter schools, Education Savings Accounts (ESAs), school choice, and the critical role civic education plays in preparing the next generation of Americans. Finally, the trio examines the future of conservative ideas, political engagement, and where the country may be headed as new leaders emerge. It's an honest, thoughtful, and often humorous discussion about leadership, public service, education, and the enduring importance of faith, freedom, and free enterprise. Three Arizona conservatives. Three friends. One great conversation.
