S1E21 - He Was Going to be Mayor of Philadelphia Before Life Intervened

Episode Notes

**

As the scion of elected officials, Kellan White grew up in Philadelphia around the politically powerful. He would dream of the day he entered City Hall, where people would address him as “Mr. Mayor.” But that’s not how things turned out.

After his dad lost a close race for mayor of Philadelphia, tragedy struck when his mother and grandfather died. Feeling lost, White walked away from politics and the city he loved, only to return to contribute to the greater good in another way: as a community connector. He compares himself to Al Pacino’s Michael Corleone in “The Godfather” – “I wanted to challenge myself somewhere where nobody knew my family.”

Tune in to this episode of “Unusual Attitudes” to hear White’s story about living at the intersection of politics, government and community.
