Can Invisible People's Mark Horvath teach us how to solve the homelessness crisis?

We sit down with Mark Horvath, the founder of Invisible People, to discuss the reality of the homelessness crisis in America. Mark shares his journey from working in the television industry to surviving on Hollywood Boulevard, and how he built a movement of over one million subscribers by giving a face and a voice to the unhoused. We explore the root causes of homelessness, the impact of affordable housing shortages, and the human cost of criminalization policy. This week's AMA features memorable moments from Monday Night Football, the challenges of investigative journalism, and lessons from early life.
