She served 11 years in the Georgia House of Representatives, including seven as Democratic Leader, and made history in 2018 as the first Black woman to become a major-party nominee for governor in the United States.

From the California Gold Rush to the railroad boom to Silicon Valley, the promise of instant riches keeps convincing us that this time will be different. Nathaniel Philbrick, a bestselling author and National Book Award winner whose work explores the forces that shaped America, joins Ryan to talk about his new book, The Rush, and explore the unsettling parallels between the California Gold Rush and Silicon Valley.
