The speaker reflects on their political campaign experience, mentioning that they decided to have fun, be unfiltered, and embrace a fighter mentality during debates. They adopted a gladiator spirit, believing in fighting fiercely and hitting back hard when attacked. Despite gaining fans for their approach, they acknowledge that it might have cost them support from those put off by their pugnacious handling of criticism. The speaker admits that while being a fighter is crucial, leadership requires more than just that.
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down with 2024 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to discuss the recent suspension of his campaign, how he fought the traditional media’s best advances against him, who he is endorsing now, and the American values he seeks to defend going forward.
Vivek Ramaswamy is an entrepreneur, author, and political activist. Vivek has been making headlines since announcing his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election, running on a platform in part to dismantle the expansive and corrupt bureaucracy that has seeped into nearly all facets of American government. Prior to this, Ramaswamy was the founder and CEO of the biopharmaceutical company Roivant Sciences. Leaving in 2021, he published “Woke, Inc.: Inside Corporate America's Social Justice Scam.” In 2022, he co-founded Strive Asset Management with Anson Frericks, which focuses on an alternative to the now-pushed ESG investment framework. That same year Ramaswamy published “Nation of Victims: Identity Politics, the Death of Merit, and the Path Back to Excellence”
and has since been deemed one of the “Intellectual Godfathers of the anti-woke movement.”
