This Millennial is taking on George Santos

If you’re a long time listener of the pod, you’ve without a doubt heard us reference our friend Zak. But who is he? What does he do? Well this episode is his big reveal [minus the people at our last NY event, sorwz for the spoiler]. Tadaaaaaaaa, it’s Zak Malamed:

He’s been working to connect young philanthropists with young future political leaders at his PAC, The Next 50. To date, over 80% of the PAC’s endorsed leaders have won their general elections - love to see it. The work done has also made the PAC #1 in investing in young Dems, which we need more of in office. His background outside of politics has helped build this industry change and it’s a POV we’ve always highly related on. See our mixtape on the topic as proof:

Now for the positive plot twist, Zak’s work in getting others elected has turned into him now running for office, specifically for George Santos’ seat. In our chit chat we talk about his decision to run, the man he hopes to beat, and the need for an elected official that represents the people, not makes a mockery of them. Get the scoop on his campaign by tuning in via Apple Podcasts and Spotify Podcasts, and watching on YouTube.
