Throughout the discussion, we follow his journey from his hometown of Southgate, California to the halls of power in Capitol Hill, and we explore his path from high school to his current position. We delve into his initial aspiration of becoming a journalist, the significant role mentorship played in his professional development, his methods for capitalizing on his abilities, and his experiences with both career growth and burnout.
