Heart on My Sleeve Episode 15: Reuven Carlyle

Reuven Carlyle's success in life was not a forgone conclusion. Reuven shares with Susie stories of his childhood poverty, growing up with a single mother who lived a true hippie lifestyle in the 1960s, searching for mentors to provide him guidance and stability, and the opportunities he sought out that changed his life. He grappled with the duality of his reality and knowing that life could be very different. At 15, Reuven recounts how he left his childhood home and became a page in Washington D.C. for Senator Warren Magnusson, Scoop Jackson and even for Speaker Tip O'Neill. Through his experiences, he developed a deep commitment to civil service, ultimately becoming a powerful Washington state congressman and senator. Reuven is passionate about foster care and climate responsibility, which he dedicates his career to addressing. Hear about his wife Wendy and their four children, and how he is deeply grateful every day for the blessings in his life.
