Why This Entrepreneur Walked Into Politics (And Shook Things Up)

Описание: Doug Fiefia never planned to become a politician. He built a construction company, worked in tech, and focused on business—until he realized no one was fixing the problems he cared about.

In this Day in the Life episode of the No Rescue Podcast, we walk through the Utah State Capitol with Doug and unpack how he went from entrepreneur to legislator, why he challenged leaders in his own party, and how he passed a major data privacy bill as a freshman lawmaker.

This is a real look at leadership, responsibility, and what happens when you stop waiting for someone else to act.
