"Never in a million years did I think that I would be on this stage tonight, and I certainly never thought I'd end up with the last name Trump," said Lara Trump during her speech at the 2020 Republican National Convention.

Now serving as senior adviser on the Trump 2020 campaign, the Wrightsville Beach native is working to give voters a behind-the-scenes look at the president and first family.

Earlier this year, Lara opened up to Tim and Ben about her first time meeting Donald Trump, what the president is like as a grandpa to her and Eric’s two children, and how life has changed since growing up on the beaches of North Carolina.

Listen to that intimate conversation on this week’s bonus episode.
