"Well, guys," Citizen Co-founder Larry Platt starts, "let's have a little therapy session. What the hell just happened?"

On this special episode of How To Really Run A City, former Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and former Philly Mayor Michael Nutter get together just days after the election to hash out how they're feeling and what they think turned the tide to President-elect Donald Trump.

Despite a "painful, painful map" and impending federal policies that target vulnerable communities, Reed and Nutter offer a few rays of hope.

"Presidents have very little power to reach into cities," Nutter observed.

"Make [the president] staff these efforts," Reed agreed. "It would take four years just to staff up."

Join us for this episode about the power of good leaders in our cities — something needed with increasing urgency in this country. Remember to subscribe to keep up on all the latest episodes. You can even watch the conversation play out on YouTube.

As cities go, so goes the nation!
