Now Hear Me Out /// Invisible Fences /// Season4:E091

Today we are with the Father/Daughter duo, Harriet and Randy Berholtz of the "Now Hear Me Out" Podcast.  A podcast where they come together to have political and social conversations representing two sides of the argument.  Harriet graduated from the University of San Diego, is a sing/song writer, and has started and sold 2 different e-commerce stores that surpassed 7 figures in sales in under 18 Months.  Oh, and she is a registered Democrat.

Randy is a Graduate of Yale Law, an Oxford Rhodes Scholar, a former Adjunct professor at Thomas Jefferson School of Law, for acting general counsel at Innovus Pharmaceuticals, Inc.  Among many things, he is also the Secretary of the California Republican Party. 

Together they aim to demonstrate the possibility of having very differing viewpoints still coming together with love and understanding in an effort to spur change and action.
