This week we sat down with Dr. DeWayne Davis, and let me tell you — this one goes deep. We talk about everything from his upbringing and early influences to how those experiences shaped his worldview and his vision for the future of Minneapolis.

Dr. Davis has lived a life. From his personal journey through faith and identity to his work as a pastor and community leader, his story connects the dots between the personal and the political in a way that’s rare and real.

This isn’t a campaign stump speech — it’s a raw, thoughtful conversation about what leadership actually looks like, how cities change, and what it takes to build something better.

If you care about Minneapolis, or just love hearing smart people wrestle with big ideas, this is your episode. Tune in, drop a comment, and tell us what hit you the hardest.
