Ep 509- Luke Russert

 In this episode I speak with Luke Russert, author of, "Look For Me There: Grieving My Father, Finding Myself," an exploration of finding oneself and one’s place in the world in the face of crushing expectations and grief. He is an author and an Emmy Award winning journalist who served as an NBC News correspondent from 2008 to 2016. Primarily covering American politics, he was seen on popular outlets such as NBC Nightly News, Today, NBCNews.com, and MSNBC. He is the son of the late Tim Russert of NBC’s Meet the Press and Vanity Fair writer Maureen Orth. His wakeup call was prompted by a talk with House Speaker John Boehner who advised him to get out of the suffocating political bubble in Washington, D.C. to find out who he was and wanted to be. https://www.lukerussert.net/

I’m Dr. Mark Goulston, and this is My Wakeup Call. Everybody has personal wakeup calls, but not everybody wakes up. In this podcast, we speak to people who did. In fact, they not only woke up, but their wakeup calls changed their lives, often helped them discover their purpose and then changed how they would spend the rest of their life. In most cases, the wakeup call was not pleasant, sought-after, and often shook people to the core of their being. But in every case, it made our guests more authentic, better at life, better in life and better human beings. I hope you will listen in and become as inspired as I am from every episode. I also hope it will help you persevere if you are going through a wakeup call and haven’t yet gotten through the pain of it, or landed in your future as the better person you’re meant to be, with the better life that you’re meant to have.
