What if the key to bridging political divides lies in the simple act of listening? Join us as we sit down with Dr. Greg Haskin, a stalwart in public policy, who has navigated the intriguing waters of California's political landscape from his early days with the Orange County GOP to his influential role at PepsiCo.

His journey is a compelling testament to the possibility of positive change through inclusive dialogue and thoughtful engagement.
Political polarization is more than just a buzzword; it's a reality that impacts voter engagement and the very fabric of our democratic process. In this episode, we discuss how the most ardent voices often overshadow the moderate middle, leaving many feeling disenfranchised. Reflecting on a time when bipartisan collaboration was the norm, Dr. Haskin provides a hopeful outlook on how increased public awareness and a commitment to constructive discourse can pave the way for a more engaged and inclusive political environment.
But it's not all politics. Our conversation takes a nostalgic turn as we share our mutual love for vintage cars. From the thrill of restoring classics like the 1949 MG to the challenges of maintaining these beauties in today's rapidly changing world, this episode celebrates the passion, history, and craftsmanship that make old cars so special. Whether you're a political junkie or a classic car enthusiast, this episode promises a rich tapestry of insights and stories that highlight the dedication needed in both arenas.
