What does a career in public service look like when you trace it back to childhood, family, and the challenges of running a business?
In Episode 88 of the KillerGrowth Podcast, Samuel sits down with Ty Masterson, president of the Kansas Senate and a candidate for governor, for a long-form conversation about his background, professional experiences, leadership, and issues facing Kansas.
Samuel opens by explaining the purpose of the interview: to get beyond campaign messaging and learn more about the person, his experiences, and how he approaches decisions. Both gubernatorial candidates were invited to participate. This conversation is not an endorsement by KillerGrowth.
Ty talks about growing up in Butler County, attending Kansas State University, starting a business, driving a trash truck, and eventually becoming a homebuilder. He also reflects on the financial impact of the 2008 housing crisis, his family, his faith, and how those experiences shaped his approach to leadership.
The discussion then turns to civil disagreement, social media, the responsibilities of public officials, and several issues Ty identifies as priorities. Samuel asks questions about data centers, electricity costs, property taxes, education, teachers, agriculture, water, and the relationship between Kansas and the federal government.
