Our host Katy Thomas sits down with Mayor Jack Amhrein in the new episode of Kent in Good Company. Katy notes, “I think if every town had a mayor as casual, kind, and down-to-earth as Mayor Jack, the world might be a better place. That being said, I really didn’t know what exactly the job title of “mayor” entailed…until this conversation!"

Thanks to Hall-Green Agency for sponsoring the pod!
