Pro wrestler by day state representative for the working class by night, that's the story of this episode's guest David Morales. David is Rhode Island's youngest state legislator and one of the youngest legislators in the country, he's also simultaneously the villainous Hype Champion of the Renegade Wrestling Alliance. Now if you're wondering what does wrestling have to do with local politics or vice versa, it turns out quite a bit! In this episode I speak to David about what sparked his interest in local government, how he graduated both high school and college early, how he got involved in pro-wrestling, how cutting wrestling promos helps him in debates with fellow state legislators, and is Rhode Island a good state to start a business? But this is not a story about a person managing dual identities, it's much more than that. It's a story about drive, about transferring skills between seemingly disparate occupations, and then using those skills to create positive change for both yourself and the people around you. And this all started from a high-school debate.
