Erin Hatzikostas and Nicole Licata Grant decide to stop just chatting about authenticity and instead jump in the car and take to the streets of New Haven to meet authentic people in authentic places. With the aid of their Don King-esque looking podcast mic, they tackle the challenge of approaching strangers to get their take on the corporate world, leadership, and what makes them tick. They build connections through a combo of quirky and serious questions to understand each person as an individual. Tune-in to discover the lives of real people that make up the city of New Haven and represent our authentic world more broadly.

"We should do an episode entirely on New Haven." "Are we not doing that right now? You don't get two episodes on your town."

"When you write your autobiography, what's it going to be called? "The Baddest."

"We're court interpreters, it's a fulfilling job because every day we can help people navigate their judicial system. I just wish New Haven was more welcoming with parking..." (Nicole's boyfriend runs part of New Haven's parking dept.)

"My definition of leadership is someone who works with you, next to you, doing the same things you do and not just delegating from above. A leader is one that is with you all the time."

"A leader does just that, they lead - but by example."

"You haven't arrived until they know your name at the redemption center."
