The Rev. and I had a great time learning about the rocket ship career of Beth Blauer. Beth takes us along for her ride over the last 18 years, which came with it's fair share of challenges. Beth eloquently provides us with an education on how to turn pain into passion and purpose.
Beth is a international expert on Government performance programs and this has been her focus for more than 15 years. Since 2015, Beth has worked with over 150 Mayors around the Country helping them to organize information and use it to improve peoples lives. In addition she's played a integral role in Developing the COVID19 Dashboard at Hopkins, this is the definitive COVID Dashboard and the entire world is putting it to use to save more lives. She's "Holy" for sure and our world is a better place because of her work. Beth, thanks for taking time to spend an hour with us...get ready to learn from one of Maryland's best and brightest...

What a great pleasure it was to crack open the John Brothers shell and get a look inside of this incredible community minded gentlemen.
John takes us back to his early days of organizing as a 16 year old in Minneapolis, encouraged by his mother to stand up for "Miss Andi" this early catalytic event helped shape John's views for his journey from a case worker to an entreprenuer and most recently here in Baltimore as the President of the T. Rowe Price Foundation. We go back to his early years in Baltimore where Friday afternoon run in's with "Farmer Chippy", and many others opened his mind to possibilities of community based work by actively listening to the citizens on the ground.
In that spirit have a listen and learn from a listening Master. Thank you John Brothers, what a pleasure!

The Rev. and I had a special guest drop into Baltimore last Thurday, the multi-talented John Avlon. John and I have been friends for a little over 10 years, currently John is a Senior Political Analyst at CNN, formerly he was the Editor in Chief at the Daily Beast and he also worked as a speach writer for Mayor Guilliani. John loves American History and he has authored several great books, one on Washington's Farewell Speech, which we touch on and his new Book titled Lincoln and the Fight for Peace...This insightful discussion of Lincoln during his final weeks is as good as it gets with John qouting Lincoln left and right and the Rev. bringing the hard questions....Enjoy!
