In this episode of The Prosperity Lounge, Joey Ruffalo sits down with Rep. Monty Fritts, Tennessee State Representative and candidate for Governor, for a values-driven conversation about leadership, service, and stewardship — without the noise of typical political talking points.

Monty shares his background in military service, the private sector, and public office, and how those experiences shaped his views on responsibility, decision-making, and the role of government. Rather than campaign slogans, this conversation focuses on how leaders think, how hard decisions are made, and what stewardship really means at every level — from families and businesses to state government.

We also explore real-world issues Tennesseans care about, including:

  • What leadership looks like when the stakes are high

  • Faith, responsibility, and personal accountability

  • The grocery tax debate — what gets cut, what replaces it, and whether tax reform actually helps families

  • How to reduce government spending without simply shifting the burden elsewhere

  • Why long-term thinking matters more than short-term wins

As always in The Prosperity Lounge, this episode is about clarity over chaos, service over soundbites, and freedom rooted in faith and action.
