The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett · Secretary Pete Buttigieg: The American Dream Is DEAD. We're Running Out Of Time To Fix It! · 3 Aug 2026 podcast

Sure.

I think he has been able to create the impression of a bias for action.

And I think he gets a lot of credit for that.

I think in general, and especially in government, there's a lot of hand-wringing.

Like, oh, we got to have a 19-step process to get all of these things exactly.

I saw this during my four years trying to get stuff built in this country as Secretary of Transportation, that there were so many hoops and so much red tape.

And he comes in and he says, like, don't do that.

We're just going to do this.

Now, often what he's doing turns out to be illegal and it gets reversed.

And obviously, I think most of his policies are terribly destructive.

But I think you have to respect the effect that he has had with that kind of bias toward just doing something.

And I think we could learn a bit from that.

Look, I think he's a politician through and through.

I think that on some level, every CEO is a politician.

Every general is a politician.

Every bishop is a politician.

You just reach a certain level where part of what you're doing, if you're being honest with yourself, is what is considered politics.

Which, by the way, I don't mean in a pejorative way.

I mean it's organizing people's choices, loyalties.

and organizing power in order to get things done.
