The latest episode of Imagine a World features a familiar face… frequent co-host Sydney Hunt from the 2023 cohort joins the podcast, this time as the guest!

She shares her experience growing up in upstate New York, building environments that allow historically underrepresented groups to reimagine life’s possibilities, dad jokes, and more.
