The result is a singularly intimate deep dive into the incredible lives of everyone from entrepreneurs, politicians and brand-builders to artists, activists and influencers. Glenn is a partner at a global public affairs firm and a registered lobbyist. He is well-connected within the business and political communities of Los Angeles. Behind every L.A. icon is a human story. Hear a new one every week on “Making Los Angeles.” The LA Times editorial staff was not involved in the production of this show.
