What does it take to build a winning political candidate in today’s divided climate?
We sit down with Dr. Jen Johannsen, who works with grassroots progressive candidates for Congress, to break down leadership, messaging, and whether this approach can actually connect with Independent voters.

👉 Can emotional intelligence win elections?
👉 What needs to change to reach voters beyond the base?
🎧 Real talk. No spin. Just results.
