Segment 1 with Dafna Michaelson Jenet starts at 0:00

What if you traveled around the country to each state for a week all in one year and met people just like you and people that weren’t at all like you.

State Senator Dafna Michaelson Jenet did just that and was featured on “Sunday Morning” as a result.

The question “What would you do if you won the lottery?” was the catalyst that caused Dafna to jump off her 15-year non-profit career track and travel the country seeking stories that empower all of us. Her goal was, and still is: “Changing the mirror we use that reflects who we are as a society”. It’s amazing what you can learn couch surfing America. Her book is called “It Takes a Little Crazy to Make a Difference.”

Here is what we discussed:

  • Why she left her job and went on this journey?
    How did this work logistically and who did Dafna meet with?
  • What she learned?
  • Would the trip be any different now during polarizing times in America?
  • How this led to a career in the state legislature.
