In this episode of Roads & Rabbit Holes, Cody and Colin are joined by Corey, who is stepping into the political arena as a candidate for District 26 in New Mexico. We dive deep into the "mystery" of running for office—from the reality of door-knocking at 6:30 PM to the bizarre world of gerrymandered districts that split neighborhoods (and even universities) in half.We also go down a few rabbit holes on global power structures, the influence of central banking, and the concept of "middle management revolts" happening worldwide. Whether we're talking about the transition from scarcity to abundance or the impact of drone warfare, we’re looking for the truth behind the headlines.
stick around until the end as we talk about the power of faith versus action and why "closing your eyes and praying" isn't enough when there’s work to be done
