May 2024: Authentic Risk Taking with Michael Jonas
May guest, Michael Jonas
My friend and business colleague Michael Jonas is running for Congress in Oregon’s Third Congressional district. He has been a show guest before, so I wanted to see how his views of authenticity have changed in the 4 years since we did that first interview. I’ve been impressed with his determination to run his campaign differently and very true to himself, in an arena where catering to the beliefs of those with big money to donate is the norm.Let’s hear how authenticity and politics can go hand in hand.
