We’re all dying, but some of us have been brought face to face with that reality. Reflecting on this certainty is part of a life well lived. However long we’ve got, it’s up to each of us to redeem the time. In this new podcast, hosts Ben Sasse and Chris Stirewalt talk with their guests about lives lived with gratitude, grit, and joy.

This is a really great podcast! Puts things in perspective and I have learned so much. I also love being introduced to people who are doing great work in the world who I wasn’t aware of previously.
Fun, poignant, insightful, wide ranging, conservative and thoughtful….how many more adjectives can I fit in here….thanks guys.
Love this podcast! There is no other podcast I look forward to more than this one, and I listen to a lot of podcasts.
As a born and bred farm kid from a Calvinist church and community I strongly relate to President/Senator Sasse. I find his thoughts refreshing in the muck and mire of political and social society. As a Gen Z Republican Senator Sasse makes me long for a Sasseian Renaissance in our nations politics.
We are really enjoying this podcast. Super interesting, down to earth, thoughtful, academic and has the regular guy feel. And it strikes our love languages of sarcasm, chop-busting and genuine-ness. Really, really good.
