When the call came that my father had "fainted," I stood frozen on the cobblestones of Florence, knowing instinctively that Tim Russert doesn't simply faint. Just hours earlier, he had called me excitedly from my apartment where he was setting up my cable and Xbox. Now, my mother and I walked medieval streets in shock, making a solemn pact to grieve with dignity. At the Kennedy Center memorial, surrounded by Washington's power brokers and journalism elite, a supernatural calm washed over me as I delivered my father's eulogy. As Bruce Springsteen's "Thunder Road" faded and we exited, a magnificent rainbow appeared over the Potomac - nature's own sign that Dad was at peace. Several TV executives, impressed by my composure in such a public moment of grief, began approaching me about future opportunities in broadcasting. At 22, I was thrust into a spotlight I never sought, expected to carry forward a towering legacy while barely beginning to process my own devastating loss. Working at Capitol Hill felt like being part of history. I outworked everyone, chasing congressmen into elevators and filing briefing notes at all hours. By twenty-six, I was handed an hour of national cable news airtime and even appeared as a panelist on Meet the Press. The brass ring felt within reach until a surprising conversation with Speaker John Boehner, who summoned me to his ceremonial office. "What are you doing here?" he asked cryptically. When I mentioned turning thirty soon, he advised: "Junior, it's time for you to go do something. Build something. You don't want to be a lifer here." His words haunted me, awakening questions I'd been suppressing. Was I living up to my father's legacy or trying to prove something to him beyond the grave? Despite knowing the president and dining with senators, I felt shattered inside. My anxiety intensified - panic attacks in the Capitol, trembling in audio booths like the one where Dad died. In October 2016, I made the craziest decision of my life - leaving NBC, journalism, my career, and DC behind to find myself through travel.
