Episode 320: What Civic Power Really Means | A Powerful Conversation with Cara Stewart
Civic power is something we all have...but are we using it? In this special installment of A Powerful Conversation, Kara Duffy sits down with Cara Stewart, CEO of WunderMarx and Chair of the Costa Mesa Democratic Club, to explore how everyday people can reclaim their voice in today’s political landscape. They talk about the myth of neutrality, the loneliness of civic overwhelm, and the real actions citizens and small businesses can take now, from voting and volunteering to amplifying truth and staying engaged.
This episode explores civic power, community action, and the role of purpose-driven leadership in a changing democracy.
