Intro – Find somewhere you can find a mentor; also hear that experience is the best teacher. – Large organization where you can learn systems: Small organization where you can do a lot of stuff. – Find a great workplace culture; or you can learn as much from a bad culture as you can a good culture. – Offer my perspective on picking your first job…assuming you have a choice. If you don't; you might just need to take a job. History – 3 Internships while in college. – Children's Intern at Home Church: Common – Youth Intern at Growing Church: Did Nothing. – Children's Pastor at Small Church: Did Everything & Was Overworked and undervalued. – Youth Pastor eventually interim pastor at Mid-Sized Church for 3.5 years Two Points 1. Find Calling, Not Benefits, Not a Career, Not a Ladder of Advancement. 1. Key Questions (Ministry-Focused) 1. Does your heart break for the community? 2. Do you love the people? 2. Further 1. Pay package and benefits do give you a sense of value for the role. (Within Reason) 2. Future Opportunities are helpful, there's not many people who stay at an organization for 10 years. Sometimes “advancement” is dangled without any plan or vision. 2. Your job choice should be tailored to your development, which means you must know your weaknesses. 1. Your first job should not be viewed as your maximum level of impact, but your maximum level of development. 1. People coming in overestimate the impact they are making, underestimate what they can be learning. 2. Now Pick, with that in mind. To maximize your development. Guidelines to Consider 1. If you lack strategy, go to a large organization! 2. If you lack experience, go to a small organization! 3. If you're secure, get a leader you will learn from. 4. If you're insecure, get a leader you will connect with. 5. If you're mature & secure, pick opportunity. 6. If you're not, pick culture. Don't: Pick Benefits, Salary, Cool City, or Future Promises. Close – People pick jobs for all the wrong reasons. Choose Calling & Development over everything else first.

The Covid-19 response was a crucible of politics and public health—a volatile combination that produced predictably bad results. As scientific expertise became entangled with political motivations, the public-health establishment found itself mired in political encampment. It was, as Sandro Galea argues, a crisis of liberalism: a retreat from the principles of free speech, open debate, and the pursuit of knowledge through reasoned inquiry that should inform the work of public health. Across fifty essays, Within Reason chronicles how public health became enmeshed in the insidious social trends that accelerated under Covid-19. Galea challenges this intellectual drift towards intolerance and absolutism while showing how similar regressions from reason undermined social progress during earlier eras. Within Reason builds an incisive case for a return to critical, open inquiry as a guiding principle for the future public health we want—and a future we must work to protect. Dr. Sandro Galea is a physician, epidemiologist, author and the Robert A. Knox Professor at Boston University School of Public Health. He previously held academic and leadership positions at Columbia University, the University of Michigan, and the New York Academy of Medicine. He has published more than 1000 scientific journal articles, 75 chapters, and 24 books, and his research has been featured extensively in current periodicals and newspapers. Galea holds a medical degree from the University of Toronto and graduate degrees from Harvard University and Columbia University. Dr. Galea was named one of Time magazine's epidemiology innovators and has been listed as one of the “World's Most Influential Scientific Minds.” He is past chair of the board of the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health and past president of the Society for Epidemiologic Research and of the Interdisciplinary Association for Population Health Science. He is an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine and the American Epidemiological Society. He is the author of The Contagion Next Time and Well: What We Need to Talk About When We Talk About Health. His new book is Within Reason: A Liberal Public Health for an Illiberal Time.

It was, as Sandro Galea argues, a crisis of liberalism: a retreat from the principles of free speech, open debate, and the pursuit of knowledge through reasoned inquiry that should inform the work of public health. Across fifty essays, Within Reason: A Liberal Public Health for an Illiberal Time (U Chicago Press, 2023) chronicles how public health became enmeshed in the insidious social trends that accelerated under Covid-19. Galea challenges this intellectual drift towards intolerance and absolutism while showing how similar regressions from reason undermined social progress during earlier eras. Within Reason builds an incisive case for a return to critical, open inquiry as a guiding principle for the future public health we want—and a future we must work to protect.

A provocative chronicle of how US public health has strayed from its liberal roots. The Covid-19 response was a crucible of politics and public health—a volatile combination that produced predictably bad results.

He frequently contributes to policy debates through radio and television interviews as well as in Op-Eds on topics ranging from social security, monetary policy, fiscal policy, judicial philosophy, education reform, healthcare reform, and freedom of speech. Dr. Lawrence W.
