Summary
Today, our teams at @tomorrowstablepodcast and @momsbuildingcommunity had the incredible honor of sitting down with Congressman Mike Thompson ( @repmikethompson ) a Vietnam War Purple Heart recipient who served with the 173rd Airborne Brigade and now represents California’s 4th District on the House Ways and Means Committee. 🇺🇸With Veterans Day tomorrow, this conversation was especially powerful. Congressman Thompson shared his journey of service from soldier to statesman and reminded us that leadership begins with compassion, courage, and community. We discussed community priorities, youth opportunities, small business, public safety & mental health, education, veterans, agriculture, and infrastructure — inspiring our young podcasters to lead with purpose and action in their own communities.
