Season 1 Episode 6
The journey from immigrant to civic leader is a classic American story, and Councilman Paul Chang's path exemplifies this transformative experience with remarkable emotion. Arriving on Christmas Day 1977, Chang recalls his family's pursuit of opportunity amid the challenges of being visibly different in a predominantly white Orange County neighborhood.
What makes this conversation particularly compelling is Chang's philosophical approach to governance. He shares his pre-meeting ritual of praying over each council member's chair while playing Beatles music to create a harmonious atmosphere—not as political theater, but as a personal commitment to seeing beyond differences. "If I pray for somebody, I'm invested in their success," he explains, revealing how personal practices inform his public service.
Truly a nice coversation.
