Chuck Todd is leaving his position at NBC News after nearly 18 years to pursue new entrepreneurial ventures and projects that are moving from "wishful thinking" to reality. He expressed gratitude for his long tenure at NBC but is enthusiastic about exploring these new opportunities, including finding a new platform for his podcast, the ChuckToddcast. Todd emphasized the importance of rebuilding trust in the media industry starting from the local level and described himself as entrepreneurial at heart. His departure also reflects a desire not to overstay in one role and to embrace new challenges in a changing media landscape.
