About this Event
Join podcast hosts Bradley Tusk and Spencer Greenberg as they tape a two-part conversation for their podcasts, Firewall and Clearer Thinking. They’ll first focus on how to break through the toxic partisanship of the current political moment, and why our elected leaders ignore common-sense polices that are broadly popular for all Americans. Then they’ll pivot to more personal breakthroughs, and share what tips and lessons they have learned over the years to approach their work and life in an effective, balanced, and fulfilling way.
Be prepared with questions and the opportunity to be featured on their shows during Q+A!
