Hello, friends, and welcome to another episode of How Leaders Lead with David Novak Today David sits down with Joe Manchin. He's the former governor and senator of West Virginia, and with July 4th happening in just a few days, this is the perfect guest to welcome in the iconic celebration of America's 250th. Joe's independent political stance has given him a unique opportunity to find common ground in Washington, even among people with deeply disagreeing viewpoints. Every leader needs to get people with different perspectives aligned and working together. And in this conversation, Joe will show you just how to do that. Enjoy this conversation and I will see you at the Drief. I wanna start by saying I understand you actually have a house boat.

And uh you would host senators from both parties on your house vote for pizza and beer. And and I gotta know, I mean, you know, m usually when you think of a senator, you know, they're dressed perfectly like you in the blue suit and red or blue. I mean What was the what was the dress code you had for everybody? Not on the boat, buddy. You couldn't come with a towel on a boat, that's for sure. Or even a sport coat. Anyway, the boat's called almost seven.

Uh I've always voted all my life. You know, and different ones. This is a big trawler, people that are in bone. It's a big sixty five foot trawler. Twenty foot beam on it's a Big boat.
