Ep. 363 - Understanding the Inside/Outside Ways of Fighting for Change

In the winter of 2014, I found myself in a deep funk after failing in so many fights for families fighting for justice. And I got a call from The White House that forever changed the way I saw my role in this movement.

Let me unpack and explain how that informs almost everything I do as a leader today.
