Matthew Leavitt is a US Army Soldier and is currently deployed in the Middle East. Matt is also a husband and father of 2 beautiful girls.In this episode, I sit down with my friend Matt, who is currently serving in the U.S. Army. We talk about learning to be open-minded from a young age, and how his conservative values and deep commitment to upholding the Constitution shape his worldview. Matt shares how his service has taught him about sacrifice, leadership, and growth—and why he believes the military can be a powerful path for young people who want to better themselves.We also dive into how becoming a father has changed the way he thinks about politics and responsibility, pushing him to reevaluate his ideas in light of wanting to keep his daughters safe. Matt emphasizes the importance of family, service, and having real conversations with people who see the world differently—because, as he says, that’s how you gain new perspectives and grow stronger together.Disclaimer & Trigger Warning: The views expressed in this episode are Matt’s personal beliefs and do not reflect the official views of the U.S. Army or any associated group. This conversation also contains discussion of firearms and mass shootings, which may be triggering for some listeners. Please listen with care.*Note: This episode was recorded before the recent political violence in Utah (Charlie Kirk’s passing). Because we discuss freedoms, rights, and the issue of mass shootings, I want to acknowledge the timing and make clear that this conversation was not recorded in response to those events.**Audio note: The sound quality in this episode isn’t the best, but I promise the conversation is worth sticking around for.Support the show
