Episode 74 - Jon Amundson

Today, we have the pleasure of speaking with Jon Amundson, the City Manager of Richland, WA. In our conversation, Jon shares his insights on creating an environment that promotes problem-solving rather than rushing to find solutions on our own. He discusses handling criticism on social media, learning to avoid getting stuck "in the weeds", and the crucial role of being comfortable with uncertainty, including the ability to say, "I don’t know."
