S1E7 - Managing Expectations with the Unicorn Tammy Pirtle

Episode Summary

As a young child, Tammy Pirtle dreamed of working at the Texas Capitol. But she never imagined a career that (so far!) has included working for nine different legislators—on both sides of the aisle—plus a decade in Washington, D.C., as a congressman’s wife. Hear Tammy share her number one priority as a staffer, the perks of having an office window that opens, and why you should always bring a credit card to lunch.
