Marty Walsh joins The People’s Cabinet to talk addiction, recovery, and how we can win back the working-class voters we’ve lost.
The former U.S. Labor Secretary and Boston Mayor—now Executive Director of the NHL Players’ Association—shares his story of hitting rock bottom and rebuilding his life, and explains why showing up with humility is key to rebuilding trust.
We cover:
– Alcoholism, recovery, and staying sober
– Why politicians need to get yelled at
– What DC can learn from local leaders
– What’s missing in Democratic messaging
This is a conversation about personal and political recovery—and how to lead with honesty when it matters most.
