À propos de cet audio
In this episode of Knowledge is Power, we sit down with Ken Block, a software engineer turned political trailblazer, to explore his fascinating journey from tech innovator to government reformer. Ken shares how his groundbreaking work in database technology, including the creation of Texas' SNAP debit card system and online lottery systems, led him to uncover millions in fraud and waste. But his story doesn't stop there. Feeling compelled to shake up the "politics as usual" in his home state, Ken founded Rhode Island's Moderate Party, ran for governor twice, and continues to champion voting reforms and election integrity.
Join us as we dive deep into the intersections of technology, politics, and civic engagement, uncovering the lessons Ken has learned from both his career in tech and his bold political endeavors. Whether you're a tech enthusiast, political junkie, or just curious about how one person can make a difference, this episode offers inspiring insights into how to navigate—and even challenge—the systems that shape our lives.
