#beyondFLG

Join K Dot and ScHoolboy Q (aka Cody and Dan) as they go #beyondFLG with cross-functional, impact driven Eva Putzova.  Eva Putzova, an accidental American born and raised in Slovakia, served on the Flagstaff City Council and ran for Congress in 2020. She co-founded Catch Fire Movement, an organization dedicated to building progressive leadership and democracy from the bottom up. 

Locally, she is known as the architect of the Flagstaff Minimum Wage Citizen Initiative, which voters successfully passed in 2016. She also authored the Restaurant Workers Bill of Rights, first introduced as a resolution in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2022 by Representatives Rashida Tlaib, Jesús "Chuy" Garcia, and Marie Newman.

Eva continues to “meddle” in politics because she believes we need more serious people with political courage who are unbossed and unbought to stand up for working-class folks and human rights.

What is #beyondFLG?

Flagstaff is a remarkable place full or remarkable people. Some may even say that Flagstaff is the best place on Earth and some may say that such a statement is hyperbolic. Either way, there is no other place exactly like it, and that includes the people that contribute to it. Flagstaff is full of people with diverse backgrounds that possess a wide range of interests, skills, and stories. This variety of interests, skills, and stories contributes to the textured and unique feel of the area.

#BeyondFLG is a podcast aimed at highlighting the natural beauty of this region and the peoples that contribute to it. Some may describe this podcast as award winning based on the badges given to it through the podcast platform while others may say that the show is underproduced and overstated. #beyondFLG is hosted by two local psychologists and founders of Beyond the Pines, A Flagstaff Wellness Collective; Cody Bayles and Dan Phillips. Their values lie in promoting connection to self, others, and the natural world and their efforts occasionally hit somewhere near that mark, let’s say adjacent to it. Join them as they go #beyondFLG with members of the Flagstaff community and explore the overall connection to the area, their craft, and others.
