Lane Scott: Building Community in Strange Times

My conversation with the wonderful writer and actual matriarch, Lane Scott, on families, faith and building with the material you have.

In this conversation, I sit down with Lane, a mother of five, community builder, and thoughtful convert to Catholicism, to explore how personal journeys shape our broader political and social landscapes.

Lane’s reflections show the resilience required in modern parenting, the subtle yet profound influence of women in communities, and how tradition intersects with today's complex realities. We dive into the struggles facing American manufacturing post-COVID, the nuanced role tariffs play, and the often-overlooked connections between family life and political power. Lane offers a deeply insightful perspective on balancing timeless values with the practical demands of modern life.

Lane Scott is a writer, a mother, a rancher, and the owner/operator of
