We are back with the second half of our conversation with Missouri’s 57th Governor, Mike Parson. In this episode, we move past the titles to hear the personal stories that defined his time in office, from the quintuple bypass surgery just days before his swearing-in to the "sobering" drive to Jefferson City after the call that changed everything.

Now back home in Bolivar, he reflects on the grit required for leadership, his lifelong love for the Missouri State Fair, and the faith that guided him through the state’s toughest moments. It is an honest look at life after the daily grind and the lasting values that make Missouri home.
