Well, ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention?

Greetings, dear listeners. This is Jonah Goldberg, host of the Remnant Podcasts, brought to you by the Dispatch and Dispatch Media.

So, yesterday at AI we did this great event, but the anniversary of the March on Washington, AI's president, Robert Doer, who is also not only a handsome man, but a powerful man,

is deeply invested for all sorts of patriotic and civic reasons, but also because his dad, John Doer, was a heroic figure in the civil rights struggles of the 1960s in his role at the Justice Department.

So, it was a great event, and one of the speakers was Ian Row, and Ian is a colleague of mine at the American Enterprise Institute, and I'm a fan of his stuff, and the second he got, I saw him on stage, he was like, oh crap, we were supposed to have him on the podcast like two years ago.

And so, I buttoned him right outside, and said, yeah, you'd like to get you on, and he actually made himself available for today.

So, very quickly, who is Ian Row, Ian Row is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, where he focuses on education and upward mobility, family formation, adoption.

He's also the co-founder of Vertix Partnership Academies, a new network of character-based international baccalaureate high schools, the Chairman of the Board of the Spence Chapin, a non-profit adoption services organization,

and the co-founder of the National Summer School Initiative. His work seeks to inspire young people of all races to build strong families and become masters of their own destinies.

So, with that all out of the way, Ian, welcome to the amendment.

I'd like to be here, that was an exhausting biome, so hopefully I get to live up to it.

Yeah, I personally hate long bios.

I'll do less things, I'll do less things.

No, I mean, when they read my bio, and it's like this long, no cares, but for your purposes, for my listeners, it's good to contextualize.

So, why don't we sort of start with the stuff that's not in the bio.

Like, the bio there is more actually like a resume.

Why don't you just sort of tell the story of who is Ian Rowe in terms of more, like more like, I don't want to say, you know, he shouldn't be self-utilizing.

But, you know, you're originally from Jamaica, why don't we just sort of start there?

Well, right, I was going to ask if I should start with my stint at Chip and Dance.

Please don't, actually.

That's a joke, that's a joke.

Well, my origin story, like to most people, begins with my family.
