Summary
On today’s inspiring episode of Raise the Line with host Michael Carrese, you’ll hear the remarkable story of Shannon Watts who, in response to the Sandy Hook Elementary mass shooting, started and led one of the largest grassroots organizations in the U.S., successfully mobilizing millions of volunteers to push for stronger gun safety laws. She is now bringing insights from that experience to a new mission: helping women to identify and act on their values, abilities and desires which she describes in her recent book Fired Up.
