Episode 145 | Rewind Episode | Photographer Pete Souza on Fatherhood + Staying Human in a Digital World
EPISODE SUMMARY
Ever wonder what it’s like to witness history up close—and through a camera lens? Meet Pete Souza, a dad, grandfather, Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer, and the man who spent eight years as Chief Official White House Photographer for President Obama (and before that, photographed President Reagan). Pete's iconic images have helped shape the way we see modern history, capturing the monumental (and the deeply human) moments.
In this episode, Pete joins us to talk about storytelling through photographs, the responsibility of being a “visual historian,” and how his own family has influenced his work over the years. The original chat took place in 2023, but somehow it feels even more relevant today.
