This week, Andy sits down with two women working to improve the lives of women and families.

Olivia Walton is a philanthropist, advocate and founder who launched Healthy Moms, Healthy Babies America to cut the U.S. maternal mortality rate in half. She talks about why the mission is personal after experiencing gaps in her own postpartum care, what employers and policymakers can do to better support new mothers, and why she believes this is a mission everyone – Democrat or Republican – should get behind.

Then, Hilary Sykes, an advocate for survivors of sexual abuse and domestic violence, joins Andy to talk about the Cornell case and what survivors face when they seek help. They discuss what the justice system gets right and wrong, how to support a friend or family member who discloses abuse, and why protecting survivors is an issue that should transcend party lines.

Whether you’re a parent, a survivor, a neighbor, or just someone who wants to do more to help, this episode is about how we show up for each other.

This week, we're taking you to a special stop on the bestselling "Go and Do Likewise" book tour: a sold-out stop at the historic Capitol Theatre in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Andy sat down with Hadley Duvall, the brave advocate whose story appears in chapter nine of the book, for a real, unfiltered conversation about faith, resilience, and speaking out even when it's hard.

Hadley opens up about her decision to share her own story publicly during Andy's 2023 reelection race. She explains, "I knew that there was another Hadley out there, and that's all I could think about." Andy reflects on Bowling Green's Good Samaritan response to the devastating 2021 tornadoes, his 2023 veto protecting LGBTQ+ kids, and what it means to lead with compassion in a moment that so often rewards cruelty.

By the end of the night, the packed house – plus an overflow crowd watching from lawn chairs – heard Andy's call to action heading into a critical election season: lead with empathy, and in November, send a message.

Welcome to the "Go and Do Likewise" book tour, captured live. Let's get into it.

This week, Andy sits down with three guests fighting for the country in different ways. First, April Ajoy, a content creator who grew up in Christian Nationalism – singing on the Jim Bakker Show, working for the 700 Club – before walking away from it entirely. She now uses humor and honesty to expose the harm that movement causes, while reclaiming her own faith in a loving God. She and Andy get into the ups and downs of her journey, and yes, she gives her own unfiltered take on his New York Times Bestselling book, "Go and Do Likewise."

Early voting is starting around the country and the countdown to Election Day is on. That's why veteran and candidate Cait Conley is our next conversation. Cait spent 16 years in the Army with six combat deployments, went on to serve on the National Security Council, and led election security efforts at CISA through the 2024 election. Now she's the Democratic nominee taking on Mike Lawler in New York's 17th District. She and Andy talk about what she saw protecting our elections from the inside, and why she decided it was time to trade a nonpartisan career for a tough campaign to flip the House of Representatives.

Finally, David Crowley joins the pod. David grew up in one of Milwaukee's most historically disinvested neighborhoods before becoming the city's first Black county executive, and he's now the Democratic nominee for governor of Wisconsin. He and Andy get into his origin story, what he's learned governing through tight budgets and real crises, and what it'll take to keep the governor's mansion blue in one of the most important swing states in the country. This conversation couldn't be more timely. Let's get started.
