Serving as mayor of Austin from 2015 to 2023, Progress Texas co-founder Steve Adler indeed sat on a very hot seat - during which he navigated the fastest-growing city in the nation through the beginning of the Trump era, the COVID-19 pandemic, Winter Storm Uri, the George Floyd moment, and lots more. Mayor Adler joins us to talk about that time, and how it reflects upon our current moment, as he prepares to drop a new book about his extraordinary experience in that role on August 25.
