  • WDIM 8: Rich Politicians and How You Can Run For Public Office with Guest Dr. Nick Carnes
    In this episode, we're joined by Nicholas Carnes, Assistant Professor of Public Policy at the Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke University, to talk about why all politicians are so filthy rich, and where we should look to find our future presidents.

    If the 2016 Election results bummed you out, there are ways to take action. Call you local representatives and demand that they stand up for what best serves you and your community. Donate to hardworking organizations that advocate for the issues and policies you want to see upheld or changed. And if you're in it for the long-haul, per Nick's encouragement, run for public office....game changer, right?
