It takes a lot to not throw up or to swear during a ceremony for a political position. Especially when you have to recite an oath, but sometimes all the anticipation can quickly become flat. In this episode Boots and Alexa will talk about the contrasts between the two times Boots had to swear an oath for his Board member positions. For Boots in his first term during the opening ceremony, there was a festive atmosphere because of the hope everyone had at the time prior to the pandemic. Then for this recent swearing in, the tone was super somber. Alexa will compare the trainings Boots and Alexa have when it comes to their work. School and tribal politics have some similarities with their orientations but then diverge into different paths as the workloads stack up. Regardless, it's really hard not to swear on swearing-in day because of the built-up excitement. Listen in and leave with some positive vibes! Remember where you came from, it will help you on your path.
