Zuby sits down with Seneca Scott, a former union organizer turned community advocate and political candidate. Seneca shares his upbringing and early involvement in the labor movement, his shift toward urban farming, and how burnout led him to rediscover his purpose through cooking and grassroots activism. The two discuss progressive policies, crime, and drug use and insights into the need for civic engagement, responsible leadership, and voting. Seneca reflects on political violence, societal division, and his vision for creating stronger, safer communities through honest debate and active participation.
