Maryellen Feerhery Hank lives in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and has been an attorney for almost twenty-five years, with a specialty in patent law. She and host Michael Whidden know each other from when they were classmates at the University of Pennsylvania in the early 1990s.
Our discussion covers, among other things:
*how a trip to Russia in 1992 impacted her perspective on the United States
*rewards, incentives and innovation and how they benefit society
*the importance of learning alternative points-of-view
*sense of identity in America, whether it’s by political party, economic theory or ethnicity or as an American
*the term “Pennsyltucky”
Maryellen finds hope in her Catholic faith, which guides her to work hard, do what you can with the abilities given to you and trust in a greater, divine plan.
