Andrew Yang (@AndrewYang) is back. He’s the former Candidate for President. The former Candidate for Mayor. He’s a patriot, an activist and a father. And now, the co-founder of the Forward Party is back to check in with Independent Americans for a look back at the last year for the Forward Party and a look ahead at what’s on the horizon in independent politics and the 2024 elections. With a good dash of sports, parenting and leadership talk. 

It’s a fun and fascinating episode with no holds barred. Yang and host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) don’t always see eye to eye, but it’s a great discussion and debate that will leave you a little smarter and maybe even a little happier.
