About this episode

Winston Jordan discusses the challenges of political reform and the role of technology in creating accountability outside traditional party structures.

Both political parties claim to represent the people. So why does nothing ever change? Today an open-source candidate, Winston Jordan, joins me on the show. He believes neither side is working for everyday Americans — and he’s done waiting for them to fix it. Frustrated with the lack of movement on HR 415 and other stalled legislation, he decided to stop complaining and start building. Literally. He programs his own platforms. He builds AI-driven communication tools. And he’s running outside of traditional party structures to challenge the system from the ground up. We talk about: • Why both parties stall meaningful reform • What “open-source politics” actually means • Whether technology can restore accountability • Why grassroots candidates struggle to gain traction • And what it would take to truly disrupt the political machine This isn't just another candidate interview, this is a different way to think about and look at power. And what we do next with that information. _______________________________ SUBSCRIBE NOW.
