Politics is one of those careers that is featured frequently in television and movies, but how much do we really know about it?  In this week's episode, we examine ways you can get into politics and what it's like when you're there.  Our guest is Maria Robles Meier, a political staffer and inclusion expert who grew up in a working-class family in Nebraska and built a career working on Capitol Hill, ultimately running the Senate Diversity Initiative under former Senator Harry Reid.  Maria and Michael talk about what it's like being the only person who looks like you, the difference between being fully engaged and only one foot in, and how she ended up having 1,500 individual networking meetings (that is not a typo!).
