Project Next: A Conversation with Brad Meyer
After a long and demanding election season, Dr. Tim Peck returns to Project Next for the first time since the Democratic primary for Indiana’s 9th Congressional District. Joining Tim and Sarah Blessing is Brad Meyer, the candidate who won that primary and is now preparing to take on incumbent Congresswoman Erin Houchin in November.
What makes this conversation special is not politics—it’s perspective.
Tim and Brad spent months competing for the same seat, but this episode shows what can happen when people put competition aside and focus on a shared purpose. Together, Sarah, Tim, and Brad discuss the challenges facing Indiana and our country, the growing divisions in our communities, and how we can move forward without losing our humanity.
The conversation explores why so many families are struggling, what leaders can do to help, and how we build a future where more people feel heard, valued, and supported. Brad shares his vision for Indiana’s 9th District, while Tim reflects on lessons learned from the campaign trail and the importance of staying engaged even after an election ends.
Most importantly, this episode is about unity. It’s about three people who may have taken different paths but share a common belief: that public service should be about helping others, solving problems, and bringing people together rather than tearing them apart.
Whether you’re interested in politics or simply care about the future of our communities, this is a thoughtful and respectful conversation about leadership, service, and finding common ground in difficult times.
Watch, listen, and join the conversation. The future of Indiana—and our country—depends on people willing to listen, learn, and work together.
