"Hope is a renewable source. Fear is not. At a certain point, you run out of fear because it stops being real. Hope is a renewable resource. It is intended to be self-sustaining."

In episode one of series five, in partnership with Headland Communications Consultancy, Amanda Litman, co-founder of Run for Something, joins Sarah to explore this series' One Question: How do we lead today? What does leadership mean in the US right now, and is a new model of leadership enough for a democratic win on November 5th? 

Run for Something recruits and supports young, diverse progressives to run for down-ballot races to build sustainable power for Democrats across all fifty states.

  • This conversation covers everything from the whiplash of American Politics the impact of Kamala Harris's campaign on the ground. 
  • Intergenerational leadership and the tension between new models of leadership that come with a new generation of leaders.and Amanda's new book coming Spring 2025. 
  • Sustaining democracy and funding value over volume. 
  • And hope as a renewable source. 

Plus, so much more.
