From his early activism to leading in the environment, trade, and immigration portfolios, Marchi explores both the challenges and the satisfactions of public service.📖 Pursuing a Public Life launches November 4 and is available now for pre-order on Indigo, Chapters, and Amazon.🔔 Subscribe to Wired for Change for more conversations on transformation, leadership, and the people shaping our future.
