Brian Lamb, the legendary founder of C-SPAN, sits down with a teenager to explain how he changed American politics—not by running for office, but by opening the doors of Congress to the public.

In this candid conversation, Brian shares how he went from small-town Indiana to launching a revolutionary TV network, why long-form interviews matter, how books shaped his worldview, and why visiting every U.S. president’s grave taught him more than any history class ever could.

👀 What you’ll learn:

• Why C-SPAN changed how Americans see their government

• How mentorship and networking can spark big ideas

• The strange stories behind presidential grave sites (including climbing a fence to get a selfie)

Stay curious. Ask better questions. And don’t forget: sometimes the best interviews come from just listening.
