I had a great time during this interview! Listen in for good stuff you can take into your work. We all could use some leveling up on partnering with and hacking bureaucracy.
It's January, which means it's time for an episode from the archive. Listen in to this chat with @MarinaNitze. They wrote a fantastic book called Hack Your Bureaucracy, which has lots of advice you can use to get things done in all sorts of organizations. civictech.chat/2025/01/archi…
