DESCRIPTION

How do you lead a town like Princeton — diverse, dynamic, and carrying the weight of a changing nation — with empathy and joy?

In this heartfelt episode of People & Peace, host Conrad Strauch welcomes Mayor Mark Freda for an honest, warm, and wide-ranging conversation about civic leadership in complex times. Together, they explore what it means to truly show up for a community — amidst national division, local needs, and personal responsibility.

From immigration and inclusion to everyday public service, Mayor Freda shares how he protects and uplifts the people of Princeton, and how he finds peace in the process. His consistent presence at nearly every local event has become a quiet but powerful symbol of connection and care — and in this episode, we get a glimpse into how (and why) he does it.

Join us for a conversation full of heart, humor, and real talk about leadership, belonging, and building unity in a divided world.
