Episode Glenn Youngkin on governing like a CEO, the AI power crisis, and why every operator should run for office
Glenn Youngkin was the 74th Governor of Virginia. Before politics, he spent nearly 25 years at The Carlyle Group, one of the largest private equity firms in the world, where he rose to co-CEO. During his four-year term, Virginia generated $10B in surplus revenue, delivered $9B in tax relief, attracted $156B in capital investment, and became one of the first states in the country to mandate cell-phone-free classrooms.
In this episode of Summation, Glenn and Auren discuss:
• Why every Virginia state agency got OKRs and how it transformed a 110,000-person government • Why decommissioning baseload power was one of the dumbest decisions ever made • How Loudoun County gets more than 25% of its tax base from data centers • How a startup used AI to cut more Virginia regulations in 7 months than 3 years of manual work
