In this episode of In the Lobby, I sit down with David Castagnetti, a seasoned lobbyist and now advisor for DGA Group with deep expertise in navigating the complexities of government relations and advocacy. David shares his journey into lobbying, the strategies that have helped him succeed and how the industry continues to evolve.
We discuss his path to becoming a lobbyist and lessons learned along the way; the shifting landscape of advocacy and government affairs; and how relationships and reputation shape lobbying efforts.
David brings a wealth of knowledge and insights into the art of influencing policy — a knowledge base that he now shares with his students at American University — making this a must-listen for anyone in public affairs, government relations, or curious about the behind-the-scenes world of lobbying.
We also share a moment about his go-to Italian meal — and a meatball challenge — you can preview that below!
Listen now and get an insiders’ perspective on what it truly means to be In the Lobby.
