Episode 2 is an interview with fellow social worker, Brittany Pinson. I met Brittany through LinkedIn. I came across her LinkedIn page, where she identifies herself as a macro social worker, and I was intrigued with her experience in New York City. I sent her a message on LinkedIn, we set up a time to chat, and we finally recorded the interview!
