Listen "From Experience with Ali Bagci "
Episode Synopsis
Join Kosta and his guest: Ali Bagci, Cookeville City Council Member, veteran and community organizer. In this episode: You can’t teach experience. That was one of my favorite quotes from your website, because it’s true. No matter how we try, we can’t teach experience. Professionally, you’ve worked in manufacturing, project management, healthcare, and as an Officer in the United States Navy. Cumulatively, how do you think that experience has shaped your approach to leadership for Cookeville City Council and beyond? For most of us, we won’t care about how the government works until we need something or we’re mad about something. Why does local civic engagement matter and why should every resident of Cookeville be invested in the decisions and success of Cookeville City Council? We want to see Cookeville grow responsibly. That was a core mission of your campaign in 2022 and it’s been at the forefront of every Tennessean's mind for at least the past decade. How do we keep growing steadily and sustainably?
