Episode 47: Dysfunction, Bootstraps, and Personal Responsibility: A Conversation with JD Vance

Rob comes from a rough background. Physical abuse, emotional abuse — you name it, he probably experienced it. But overcoming that background and carrying on made Rob a bootstrapper to the core. For this podcast, Rob has perhaps the most famous bootstrapper of them all on as a guest: JD Vance, author of Hillbilly Elegy. JD and Rob had similar upbringings, full of chaos and dysfunction. In a can't-miss conversation, they swap war stories and get deeply personal as they try to uncover the roots of dysfunction in our society — and discuss the role of personal responsibility in conquering such adversity.

In Can’t Cancel Rob Smith he gives his unique take on news, politics, pop culture, and the issues defining America’s future with clear-eyed common sense, humor…and more than a little bit of shade.
