Summary

On today’s episode I’m chatting with Amanda Litman, founder of political organization, Run For Something. Run For Something is an American organization aimed to provide tools, resources, and support to young candidates who are looking to run for office. They provide a safety net for candidates and help assist with running efficient grassroots and voter driven campaigns. Amanda’s passion and drive for change is contagiously inspiring and I am so excited to have her on today to share valuable political information and resources for those interested in running for office, but may not know where to start. We touch on her experience working for the Obama campaign, the 2016 presidential elections, political gatekeeping, and inspiring success stories of RFS candidates.

0:00.0	The following podcast is a dear media production.
0:03.9	Hi, I'm Sif Heider, the founder of Farray.
0:07.0	I'm a wellness entrepreneur and digital creator, and this is my show, The Dream Bigger
0:11.3	podcast. Listen, I love dreaming big, but you know what I love more?
0:16.2	Actually having the resources to make those big dreams happen.
0:19.9	And hey, dreams can sometimes be private
0:22.2	jets, but other times, they can look a little something like having the best skin of your
0:27.0	damn life, or starting a successful business, or delving into spirituality. So on this podcast,
0:33.7	I chat with experts and thought leaders from different fields about their tips and tricks on
0:38.3	doing exactly that. So let's get right into it.
0:45.6	Hey guys, welcome back to the show. I am your host, SIF. If you're new here, welcome. I'm so happy
0:52.2	to have you. And if you've tuned in before, welcome back.
0:55.8	So today I have a really interesting episode with you. It is with Amanda Littman.
1:02.9	Amanda is the founder of Run for Something, which basically encourages young people to run for office for all the different positions that are
1:12.3	available. So politics, especially American politics, is something that I'm not the most well-first
1:18.2	in. And I thought it was really fitting to have someone like Amanda on the show because I've had
1:23.1	all sorts of people on the show. And I wanted to have someone from politics as well in case your
1:29.2	dream is to kind of run for office. And I think it gives you very actionable steps. And I learned so much.
1:39.0	I had no idea how much of an impact running for your school board or whatever your local positions are
1:47.3	would make. And it's very interesting. It was one of the episodes where I was just like my jaw
1:54.1	was on the ground. I couldn't believe what I was learning. And so I think you guys are going to
1:58.6	learn so much too from her. She's so impressive. She worked on the Obama campaign. She is so well spoken. I really, really enjoyed speaking to her. So I hope you guys do as well. She's very real, very cool. And I know she has a podcast as well. So she'll give you guys all those details and I'll obviously put it all in the show notes.
