This week, Lisa welcomes Ben Klein and Katie Wise, co-founders of Red Blue Strategies. With deep lobbying and Capitol Hill experience, Ben and Katie bring a fresh approach to public affairs—trading the traditional big-firm model for a partner-driven practice that delivers strategic, bipartisan counsel. Specializing in healthcare, they share how their unique collaboration helps clients cut through the noise and navigate Washington with precision.

Listen in today to a conversation with two dynamic advocates for their clients and the industry they deeply understand — and how they weave bipartisanship into their everyday approach to success.

This week on The Friday Reporter, Lisa is joined by Tiffany Lumpkin — founder of Thuto Labs, creative entrepreneur, and powerhouse in the world of beauty, media, and content creation.

Tiffany's path started in medicine, but a pivot into the world of TV and film makeup artistry unlocked a vibrant career that blends storytelling, influence, and innovation. Today, she’s building Thuto Labs to help others navigate their creative journey — drawing from her deep experience behind the scenes and in front of the camera.

Tune in for a conversation that’s equal parts inspiring and energizing — with one of the most generous and authentic voices in the industry.

This week on The Friday Reporter, Lisa is joined by Jonathan Collegio — a seasoned communicator who has transformed decades of advocacy and campaign experience into a thriving business model. Today, Jonathan leads a company focused on expanding access to mental health care, while also running a dynamic online platform that connects and empowers the next generation of communicators.

In this conversation, he shares his journey from behind-the-scenes strategist to entrepreneur, the lessons he’s learned along the way, and how he's building both a community and a mission — one that sharpens the craft of communication while expanding access to care.
