95 - The Missing Link in American Politics Today: Organizing | Col. Rob Maness

Trust erodes when citizens no longer understand their role in a constitutional republic. For business owners and leaders who depend on stable systems, clear authority, and shared values, that erosion has real consequences beyond politics. Col. Rob Maness joins the conversation with a lifetime of experience shaped by military service, national security work, and political involvement. His perspective is grounded in moments where decisions carried real consequence and where institutional clarity mattered most. The conversation centers on Col. Rob Maness’s experience inside the Pentagon on 9/11 and how that day reshaped his understanding of service, responsibility, and government power.
