Steve Vancore
In what is Peter’s most emotional episode yet, he hunkers down with veteran political consultant and pollster Steve Vancore who recently lost the love of his life, Rep. Kristen Jacobs, after a long battle with cancer. In the extended interview, Vancore shares Jacobs’ inspiring story of rebuilding a life shattered by domestic violence, and fighting her way into the hearts of Floridians as an impassioned elected leader whose top priorities centered on clean water. Vancore shares the couple’s unique love story in a conversation that is in one moment heart wrenching and in the next inspiring. There are moments of sadness as he describes Jacobs’ painful final days, and then joy as he talks about her optimism even in her final days. Jacobs’ journey to the end was surrounded by love and light, but that journey was confounded by the global pandemic raging in the background. Vancore describes how he and other family members took on caring for Jacobs in her final days without much help, knowing that if she had to go to the hospital, they couldn’t be by her side to ease her path. Grab a box of tissues and put the kettle on for this harrowing tale of life, love, loss and perseverance. Special Guest: Steve Vancore.
