We talk about his lifelong career designing and supervising projects in "inhospitable", remote and demanding environments, including work in Mendoza and Manhattan. After, Ale shares how his architectural vision eventually expanded into neighborhood organizing, as he began questioning the impacts of unchecked real estate development in Buenos Aires. We talk about the politics of green space, the value of doing work that outlives us, and the collaborative project we're part of to transform a vacant lot in Buenos Aires into a public forest. Ale also reflects on what it means to be good neighbors and how to work across differences in service of the common good. 🇦🇷 También con subtítulos en español en YouTube.

Defending Immigrants and the Rule of Law in Times of Lawlessness 58:46

Mila Sicorsky is an incoming deportation defense attorney, local community organizer, and my sister. We talk about how our early lives shaped our political imaginations, the tension between legal work and social justice, and what it means to do advocacy inside imperfect systems. Mila shares stories from law school and beyond—from working with the Innocence Project and the International Refugee Assistance Project to organizing around immigration detention and mutual aid. We reflect on the dissonance between legal ideals and lived realities, the emotional toll of defense work, and the pressures law students face to follow more lucrative paths. We touch on the need for seeing the Constitution as a living document, especially in the current political moment in the U.S., which is witnessing the rise of authoritarianism and the erosion of democratic norms. Mila speaks to the ongoing need for radical empathy, community infrastructure, and staying human in dehumanizing systems.

Wendy Zheutlin is a college essay coach and tutor, former film producer and editor, published writer, and mom. We talk about intentional communities, filmmaking, personal storytelling, and the through-line of activism and care that’s shaped her life. Wendy reflects on growing up in a large family, taking on a caregiving role from a young age, and finding early inspiration in the feminist and social justice movements of the ’70s. She shares stories of mentors, collective households, and her path from psychology studies to filmmaking at Stanford—where she made documentaries on eating disorders, the AIDS crisis, and the life of Harvey Milk. We talk about the power of telling personal stories to illuminate larger systems, and how that passion carried into her work today helping students write their college essays with clarity and voice. Along the way, we talk about swimming, teaching, and the need for community in the face of authoritarian drift.
