Join host Tracy Chang as she explores a growing movement of young professionals who are walking away from comfortable, high-paying careers to take a run at public office. We’ll be joined by Marena Lin, a scientist who traded her specialized career path for the front lines of community organizing. From fixing broken food supply chains during the pandemic to fighting the frustrating "phone trees" of Medicare as a family caretaker. Together, we’ll explore why a new generation of professionals are deciding that fixing systemic problems from the inside is more important than a corporate paycheck.
