Can grassroots organizing actually shift the landscape of the South? In Episode 301, Barrett sits down with Brandon Upson to discuss his journey from the military to the heart of South Carolina’s political mobilization. Brandon breaks down his signature "Purpose over Power" philosophy, explaining why traditional power-driven politics often fails to engage the communities that need representation the most.

The conversation explores the "Fair Shot Agenda," effective voter registration strategies, and the vital work of re-engaging non-voters who have lost trust in the system. From addressing historical injustices like reparations to the future of campaign fundraising, Brandon and Barrett offer a vision for a South Carolina that is more connected, more active, and more inclusive.
