What can I even say about this one... Kristen and I co-crew lead an energy & water conservation crew three years ago and never looked back. We've traveled to Colombia together, we've decimated the competition at bar trivia, and generally enjoyed one another's company. Now for the first time on record I hear all about Kristen's City Year days. Enjoy!

Ever think about running for elected office? Well this episode is for you. I chat with Max Klau Chief Program Officer at New Politics Leadership Academy.  New Politics Leadership Academy is a nonpartisan non-profit organization dedicated to recruiting and supporting servant leaders to serve through politics. Through leadership development experiences, educational programming, and networking events, they're building a new pipeline into politics for Americans who have served our communities and country before and who feel called to continue their service by jumping into the political arena.
