In this episode, I chat with my good friend and the Mayor of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Paul TenHaken. 

This interview will sound a little different, as we recorded on one of the busiest streets in our city, Philips Avenue (shoutout to downtown SF, a must-visit if you’re in the area)! 

As Paul approaches the end of his term, he shares what he’s learned about leadership and gives super practical tips on how to be a good citizen. 

My favorite part? When Paul shares about why (especially as Christians) we need to respectfully speak up, even when it's not popular or it goes against our political party.

He also talks about the challenges of transitioning from a public role and how he’s making decisions about what’s next for him and his career (it’s powerful!).
