Yes.
Well, so my background is I work in the two things that you're not supposed to talk about on dinner dates, religion and politics.
So I worked my career working with President Obama after college.
I ended up leading Catholic outreach, actually, ironically enough, for President Obama during his reelection campaign.
And since then, I've done various initiatives, representing consulting for companies and
on faith and in politics.
And I've also done religious outreach, once again, for every Democratic nominee since 2012, in fact.
But I also spent a lot of time devouring, consuming Catholicism and its intersection with faith and politics.
I was a contributor
columnist for Time Magazine for about a decade during the pontificate of Pope Francis and got invited by Time Magazine and actually Newsweek to cover the conclave that elected Pope Francis this past year.
I'm sorry, Pope Leo this past year.
From that, I started writing a substack, and it took off.
The substack is called Letters from Leo.
It's about the intersection of religion, American politics, and technology.
Yesterday, though it was a holiday, though it was Memorial Day, it was kind of my Super Bowl of sorts.
I was very upset when the Vatican announced that it would come out on Memorial Day.
The Pope is born in the United States.
I just thought it was a bad day for media.
There was bad weather.
I'm here in D.C.
