Country Over Self

Author and technology entrepreneur Matt Blumberg is joined by some of America's most accomplished Presidential historians who tell the stories of Presidents who made choices that reflected a desire to strengthen the country, either at the expense of, or without regard to the potential impact on, their role, power, stature, or political party.

Super impressed with how Matt and his guests shed light on lesser-known moments when presidents were willing to give up personal or political favor in order to do what they felt was right for the United States. We need more shows like this that remind us of the importance of our history. Thank you for this show!

This is a great podcast for politics and history lovers, and for every concerned citizen. A good reminder how great (and not so great) leaders lead and how their decisions can have consequences far beyond their immediate circumstances. All that and entertaining at the same time!

I love that this is a non-partisan podcast with positive messages. What a welcome respite from so much rancor that is out there. And how inspiring to hear the stories of these presidents who chose country over self and especially over party. Thank you.
