‘Who do you want to be?’ The question that led a former prosecutor to seek a fairer system

Jared Fishman, the founder and executive director of Justice Innovation Lab, has been asked a consistent question since he was small: “What do you want to be when you grow up?”

His answer to this question went from firefighter, to ambassador, to attorney.

He argued, though, that this question should be shifted with the change of one word: who.

“I think the question that we should be asking people is, ‘Who do you want to be when you grow up?’” Fishman said.
