So You Were Born and Then What?

We will be interviewing interesting and diverse professionals to discuss how their backgrounds shaped them into the people they are today. Our guests speak on a broad range of topics, including religion, culture, race, ethnicity, disability, and generational issues. We are looking forward to having engaging conversations that we hope will provoke our listeners to learn from one another and develop a greater understanding of each other. We understand we are asking for vulnerability from those we interview, and compassion from our listeners, but we believe this is the best path to appreciating our shared humanity. So Robert Hertzberg was born and then he became a lawyer, entrepreneur, and Majority Leader in the California State Senate. We discuss what it means to be a “pro-business” Democrat, his relationship with former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, his proposed solutions for state budgets, and his ground-breaking data privacy law.
