This episode was recorded on December 7th, 2023.

Amanda Achtman was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta with mountains, cowboys, and entrepreneurs for inspiration. She studied political theory in her hometown. After making a viral political parody video, she moved to Toronto to do a mix of journalism, crowdfunding, and advocacy in defense of Canadians' fundamental freedoms. After that, Amanda went to Poland to study John Paul II and to explore the stories of saints, heroes, and martyrs. Upon returning to Canada, she served as the senior advisor to a member of parliament, working to prevent the expansion of euthanasia to persons living with a disability or mental illness. Amanda recently spent two years in Rome studying the resurrection of the dead throughout Jewish tradition. This year, she is a NextGEN Fellow of Cardus and a Krauthammer Fellow of the Tikvah Fund. Amanda is mainly focused on preventing euthanasia and encouraging hope through her cultural project, Dying to Meet You.
