Can a manufacturing engineer fix a broken political system?

In this episode, Greg Howard Jr. sits down with John Padora, candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in Colorado's 4th District. John isn't your career politician—he’s a problem-solver by trade, bringing a background in environmental science and engineering to the table.

Greg and John explore how technical precision, environmental stewardship, and a unique spiritual outlook can reshape the halls of Congress. And, because no episode is complete without a bit of debate, they tackle the impossible question: what is, objectively, the best film of all time?

Originally from Allentown, Pennsylvania, John Padora is a graduate of the Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology and Southern New Hampshire University. With a professional history spanning manufacturing engineering, independent consulting, and geospatial technology, John has built a career on understanding how things work—and how to fix them when they don't. He is now running for Congress to apply those same skills to the issues facing everyday Americans.
