In this podcast episode, Kevin Thompson, founder and CEO of 9i Capital Group, digs into political identity, tribalism, and ideology ahead of an upcoming election. Drawing from "The Myth of Left and Right" by Hyrum Lewis and Verlan Lewis, Kevin challenges the notion that political affiliations are rooted in consistent beliefs, suggesting they may be more about tribal loyalty.
