Progress, Not Perfection: The Entrepreneur in Politics. Conversation with Squire Servance

About this episode

Marina Rubina interviews Squire Servance about his entrepreneurial approach to politics and various reforms.

In this episode, I spoke with Squire Servance, an attorney and healthcare leader who plans to bring an entrepreneurial mindset to Congress. Our conversation centers on how his experience as a practicing lawyer and business owner informs his vision for the 12th District. Squire shares his perspective on healthcare and childcare reform, rethinking the path to career success for future generations, and understanding of AI and gig economy. We also discuss the need to balance government oversight with the room for innovation to grow. Ultimately, he argues for a leadership style rooted in negotiation across the aisle to get meaningful work done for the people. Please note that the views expressed by the candidate are her own and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this podcast. Given the nature of these long-form interviews, we cannot independently fact-check every claim made during the conversation. We encourage listeners to research the candidates and issues further as we approach the primary.
