41st Mayor of Los Angeles Antonio Villaraigosa

This week, former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa joins the "Find Your Calling" podcast to reminisce about his Angeleno roots, lessons from a career spanning decades in Golden state politics & the indelible imprint that UCLA left on his life. Without his mother's "indomitable spirit" & UCLA education, he says he wouldn't have made it this far, given his many hardships, like partial paralysis at 15 years old. His candor on the condition & the mettle that crystallized thereafter are mesmerizing.
