About a week ago, Sophie Hwang and I sat down with one of our favorite people in Philly - Lea Kleinman. Over beer and cookies, we talked about Lea’s involvement in non-profit and education change in Philly.

This year she’s leading the effort to organize Young Involved Philadelphia’s board preparation program, designed to get young professionals ready to serve effectively on non-profit boards. Sophie and I are on her planning team, so we kind’ve just jump right into the conversation.

In the chat, we cover her work with the board prep program, her passion for improving the city’s education system, and fun food spots. The interview ended suddenly when we realized we could make a Midnight Pretzels run. Listen below:
