Episode 7: The Voting Game + Magical Thinking + Live from Woo PDX
It’s Friday and we're at WOO PDX feeling all of the vibes while talking voter responsibility, creating community, spiritual journeys, and ways we cut through the noise.
Remember, this is your show - Pitch Your Ideas! Let us know if you have a local business you want us to visit, an event we should support, a guest you want to hear from or if you’ve got any tea we should know.
Portland
It’s time to take a hard look at how we vote. What’s really driving your decision?
The game isn’t choosing your favorite person. It’s choosing the person that is going to move things forward in the right direction. How do you know which candidate this is? By their actions, their circle, and their receipts.
See Ciara’s op-ed “Vote like a pro: Why you need to think differently about voting locally” for more. (Originally published in the Portland Business Journal on April 22, 2023. Voting for city officials changes in 2024, but the primaries still apply for county, metro, state, and federal elections.)
Tea
Our guest is Lauren Krygier, owner and founder of WOO PDX. We talk business and we talk spirituality. Lauren tells us about her inspiration to create WOO PDX, how it serves as a community space, what’s trending, spiritual traditions, and how much we hate SPAM calls. (Guest appearance by Ernesto the dog!)
