Meet Herb and Connie Thompson, the Husband-and-Wife Team Behind
Not Special: A Liberty Speaks Show Podcast
Everyday Americans. Extraordinary stories.
Herb and Corrie Thompson don’t do surface-level, nor do they mince words. As the husband-and-wife engine behind the talent-stacked Liberty Speaks Agency and industry-leading podcast known as the Not Special Show, they are two halves of a whole.
For Herb, a retired Green Beret, former Army Drill Sergeant of the Year, and founder, he brings an acclaimed military profile, and instinctual skill to connect with his guests – military or civilian. For Corrie, she builds on two decades of corporate brand strategy, public relations, and talent management expertise to deliver a different perspective from a proven pro. Through the Liberty Speaks Agency, they represent a curated roster of high-impact creators' laser focused on elevating brand outcomes.
Unafraid to step into the spotlight, they’ve united to create something meaningful of their own with the Not Special Show. On each episode, they get down to it, extracting real stories from guests of all walks of life.
Their ongoing mission? To find interesting people, ask meaningful questions, and share authentic stories that entertain, inspire, and remind us how much more we have in common than we may realize.
