Show Notes

Annafi Wahed, CFA, has a broad array of experience spanning the federal government, non-profit, political and private sectors. In 2016, she left her role as a Senior Consultant at Ernst & Young to join the Democratic campaign. Walking door to door, she saw firsthand how next-door neighbors could be completely isolated from one another by the media they consume. Annafi launched The Flip Side as a passion project in 2017, and has since spearheaded each new stage of the venture. 

The Flip Side is a startup on a mission to help bridge the gap between liberals and conservatives. Through their free daily newsletter they offer a one-stop shop for smart, concise summaries of political analysis from both conservative and liberal media. They recently launched a forum which uses human-centered design principles and a custom ranking algorithm to reward thoughtfulness and bipartisanship, rather than trolling or clickbait.
