Thank you for everything! We’ll see you in August!

Summer Hiatus

Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by author and journalist, Jamie Ducharme, of TIME, to discuss JUUL, her new book, Big Vape: The Incendiary Rise of Juul, and what the future may look like for e-cigarettes in general.

 

In today’s conversation, Aaron and Jamie delve into “the JUUL” story touching on the dubious decisions the company made as far as marketing to how JUUL Labs mismanaged its response to resale issues and the “dealing JUUL” phenomenon. Jamie explains her interpretation of the research that she’s found as far as less dangerous alternatives to traditional combustible cigarettes as she and Aaron examine JUUL in the larger context of the public health crisis. Is history repeating itself? How does JUUL compare to “Big Tobacco?” Today, Jamie and Aaron discuss responsible marketing, the FDA and regulation, safer alternatives, the vaping world, and more.  

 

Originally from New Hampshire, Jamie is now based in Brooklyn. She is a staff writer at TIME Magazine, where she covers health and science. Jamie’s work has won awards from the New York Press Club, the Deadline Club, and the Newswomen’s Club of New York. Previously, she was the health editor at Boston Magazine. Big Vape is Jamie’s first book; it is a deep-dive into the e-cigarette company Juul Labs and an exploration of the complicated search for an alternative to cigarettes.

Juul on Fire: A Conversation w/ Jamie Ducharme

Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Professor Kellen R. Funk, of Columbia Law School, for our second episode on bail and bail reform. Today’s conversation is part two of last week’s topic and follows up on some of the same ideas; Aaron and Dr. Funk discuss the bail system, what bail is and what it means for our society, as well as how the issues of bail relate to the broader problems of our criminal justice system as a whole.

In today’s episode, Dr. Funk and Aaron address what it is that people need to understand about bail, touching on the topics of pre-trial detention and custody, civil justice, safety, bail and affordability, American history, the role of Judges and more. Dr. Funk explains the systemic implications bail bond decisions can have on communities as well as the importance of understanding what he refers to as the “lived reality” of many. Aaron and Professor Funk also talk about presumption of innocence, safety and risk, poverty and inequality, disadvantaged communities, bail schedules, and judicial discretion. 

Dr. Funk is a legal historian with expertise in civil procedure and remedies. A graduate of both Yale Law School and Princeton University (Ph.D.), Professor Funk has written on the history of civil litigation practices in the U.S., the development and reform of the American bail system, and the juridical processes of churches and religious groups. His areas of study include data analytics, legal history, litigation and dispute resolution, and social justice and human rights with areas of specialty in history of the practice and professions of law, pretrial procedure and bail bonding, the development of federal equity, religious freedom and pluralism, and digital text analysis. Dr. Funk’s scholarship combines historical research methods with data science, and he is piloting a project to digitize the paper filings for nearly ever civil case litigated in New York County in the 19th century.

 

Professor Funk joined the Columbia Law faculty in 2018 after completing his Ph.D. in American history. His first book, The Lawyers’ Code, will be published by Oxford University Press next year; it explores how the 1848 enactment of New York’s Field Code shaped the field of American civil procedure by merging law and equity, accelerating creditors’ remedies, and giving lawyers supremacy over the rules of litigation.

Bail Reform, Part Two: A Conversation w/ Kellen R. Funk

Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by attorney Ken W. Good, to discuss bail bond, the notion of bail bond reform, and the wide-ranging implications bail decisions can have on the broader criminal justice system.

 

Today, Aaron and Ken have a conversation about the state of bail in America, the impact the bail industry has, and continues to have, on society, and what exactly the point of bail is. Today’s episode is the first part of our series on bail and bail reform and today’s discussion is at times tense as Ken and Aaron touch on the topics of race, jail populations and overcrowding, urban environments and the irrefutable failings (past and present) of our country.

 

 

Mr. Good graduated from Hardin Simmons University and received his Masters in Education from Tarleton State University; he received his law degree from Texas Tech School of Law and was a member of the Texas Tech Law Review. Mr. Good has argued cases before the Supreme Court of Texas and the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals and the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. He is the author of “Good’s on Bail,” a practice guide created for bail industry professionals and has written several articles on the subject of bail reform and the bail system. He is a professional bondsman and is on the board of Directors for the Professional Bondsmen of Texas.

Bail Reform Pt. 1: A Conversation w/ Ken W. Good

Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by author and Vox correspondent, Ian Millhiser, to discuss the Supreme Court, Congress, politics and policy, as well as Ian’s new book, The Agenda: How a Republican Supreme Court is Reshaping America.

 

 

What will a conservative Supreme Court do with its power? In today’s conversation, as well as in his book, Ian explains how from 2011, when Republicans gained control of the House of Representatives, until the present, Congress enacted hardly any major legislation but in the same time span, the Supreme Court dismantled much of America’s campaign finance law, severely weakened the Voting Rights Act, permitted states to opt-out of the Affordable Cart Act’s Medicaid expansion, weakened laws protecting against age discrimination and sexual and racial harassment, and held that every state must permit same-sex couples to marry. Ian argues that this powerful unelected body, now controlled by six very conservative Republicans, has and will become the locus of policymaking in the U.S. Today, Aaron and Ian, discuss the constitution, forced arbitration, “the administrative state,” power and authority, the judiciary as an independent, and the impact the Court has on us all.

 

 

 

Ian is a senior correspondent at Vox, where he focuses on the Supreme Court, the Constitution, and the decline of liberal democracy in the United States. Before joining Vox, Ian was a columnist at ThinkProgress; he clerked for Judge Eric L. Clay of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and he served as a Teach for America corps member in the Mississippi Delta. Ian received his B.A. in philosophy from Kenyon College and his J.D. from Duke. While at Duke, he served as senior note editor on the Duke Law Journal and was elected to the Order of the Coif. In addition to his most recent book, Ian is also the author of Injustices: The Supreme Court’s History of Comforting the Comfortable and Afflicting the Afflicted. Ian’s reporting is partially supported by a grant from the New Venture Fund.

The Right-Wing Supreme Court’s Agenda:  A Conversation w/ Ian Millhiser

Good Law | Bad Law

We're on a quest to help you stay sane – positive, even! – in spite of today’s divisive political climate.

In the midst of a pandemic that impacts just about every single one of us, Zappos decided to create a hotline for anyone looking for help with just about anything. Zappos still sell shoes, of course, but now their customer service team is also pitching in to offer all kinds of support at a time when most of us could use an extra hand. And it’s free. 

Examples: Math homework. Tech help. A personal protective equipment search. Or simply a pleasant conversation during this isolating time. Zappos’ “Customer Service for Anything” team has it covered. Call, text, email. 

Sanity spoke with Brian Kalma, the Entrepreneur in Residence at Zappos and the brainchild behind the idea. He shares how the Zappos team got this idea up and running in less than a week flat, offers advice for organizations looking to use their unique skillsets to help in this unprecedented time, and of course, shares his favorite shoe brand!

Ep7: Zappos’ Customer Service for Anything  | Brian Kalma, Entrepreneur in Residence

You know when you meet one of those people who just makes you feel comforted and good? Chloe Groth is definitively one of them. 

Normally a Suzuki violin teacher, as Covid-19 hit New Orleans, Chloe took to NextDoor to offer her gift of music to those who need it most right now. She now volunteers four days a week to perform (from a distance) for elderly individuals across New Orleans. She brings along her two small sons, who sit by her feet as she unpacks her violin and performs the most special private concerts from front yards and sidewalks. Chloe kindly played for the 93-year-old grandmother of Sanity’s host and the neighborhood listened in. She began with “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” There wasn’t a dry eye on the block. 

Later in the episode, hear from Hadley Heath Manning from the Independent Women’s Forum. She discusses their #InThisTogether campaign and shares about what it is like to be raising a young family with a spouse who is working on the front lines.

There are over 750 distilleries across all 50 states that are now producing hand sanitizer. On this episode, hear from one of them. Troy Downing is the co-owner of Wildrye Distilling in Bozeman, Montana.  From working with the highway patrol to relay sanitizer across the state to fielding requests from EMTs as far as New York to loading hand sanitizer onto planes operated by volunteer pilots, the past month and a half has been a whirlwind for Troy and his team. On this episode, Troy shares how his family has pitched in to help, how he worked to cut through red tape via the CARES Act, and his favorite spirit (or two!).

Later in the episode, we’re joined by Clay Nutting, the owner of the Michelin-rated restaurant Canon in Sacramento, California. Clay is behind Family Meal Sacramento, an effort made up of a number of restaurants in his city that creates meal kits for at-risk members of the community. They have supplied over 50,000 meals and raised over $90,000.

If it’s lunchtime in New Orleans, that means Feed the Front Line Nola, organized by Krewe of Red Beans founder Devin De Wulf, is up to three things:
-Feeding health care workers at every hospital in the city
-Keeping 25+ local restaurants in business
-Employing local musicians to make deliveries

For Devin, it’s personal: his wife is an ER doctor. She came home one night early into treating Covid-19 and mentioned how much a batch of cookies baked by an ER nurse had uplifted her team’s spirits. He had a lightbulb moment: through the Krewe of Red Beans, Devin’s existing network of restaurant owners across New Orleans could multiply that effect tenfold. And keep them in business. Devin was uniquely positioned to scale, and fast.  Ever since, he and his crew have been serving meals for those on the front lines. Spreading “food love,” as he calls it. This week they served their 40,000th meal. 

On this episode, we speak with Devin about the work #FeedtheFrontLinesNola is doing and also speak with two local restaurant owners who are part of this network — Lisa Nelson of Queen Trini Lisa and Nathanial Zimmet of Boucherie and Bouree. Lisa shares about her Trinidadian and Tobagonian heritage and Nathanial shares his experience surviving Hurricane Katrina and seeing the city come together during times of hardship.

On this episode, hear from Team Rubicon’s Mike Lee about Team Rubicon’s network of 110,000 veteran volunteers, their unique perspective from helping communities rebuild after crises around the world, and the work they are doing related to Covid-19. Also hear from Trader Joe’s employee Katie Scott, who shares her experience serving customers amid the chaos in Manhattan and one small act of kindness extended to her by an Etsy shop.

For Mike Lee, volunteering is an avenue to come together in good times and bad to help others. He shares some of the messages of hope he has heard around the world when communities are facing their most difficult hour. 

When Trader Joe’s employee Katie Scott recently purchased masks from an Etsy retailer in Brooklyn, she noted that she worked at Trader Joe’s in the City. Within a few minutes of submitting her order, Katie received a message saying that not only would part of her order be comped, but that extra masks to share with coworkers would soon be on their way . “It was just so joyful,” says Scott. “It definitely warmed my heart. And the masks looked pretty awesome too.”

Guess Who’s Back!! ft. Allison Spears Ep#106

Almost Legal Podcast

A show that discusses the national patient experience survey process (CAHPS) and how it applies to healthcare organizations.

The Emergency Department CAHPS process is getting closer to becoming a reality, with a survey instrument currently under development and going through some testing. We all know that it will be important to start incorporating the ED-CAHPS survey into your organization once it is available, but what can you do to prepare your hospital for the upcoming process in advance? How can you get your Emergency Department staff in the right "mindset" for receiving CAHPS-related data in the near future?
Alan Jackson, Janette Jones and Valerie Sipe, all with The Jackson Group, gather to discuss the upcoming ED-CAHPS process, what we know at this point, and how organizations can prepare for its inevitable roll-out.
The Jackson Group is a survey and consulting firm specializing in employee engagement surveys, patient satisfaction surveys, market research studies and leadership development. The Jackson Group is an authorized provider for both the Hospital CAHPS and Home Health CAHPS process. Learn more about The Jackson Group at www.thejacksongroup.com.

CAHPS Cast 20: Getting Ready for Emergency Department CAHPS

Now that the CAHPS process has been a requirement for hospitals across the nation for a while now, what are some of the biggest challenges facing hospitals trying to work with the HCAHPS survey?  And what can those hospitals do to face those challenges and use the CAHPS process to its fullest potential?
Alan Jackson, Janette Jones and Valerie Sipe, all with The Jackson Group, gather to discuss the H-CAHPS process and the challenges they've seen with hospitals working with the survey.

CAHPS Cast 19: Challenges for Hospitals Working with HCAHPS Surveys

There are many updates happening in the CAHPS world, so Alan Jackson speaks with Janette Jones and Valerie Sipe, all of The Jackson Group, about those updates and what they could mean for your hospital or healthcare organization.  This episode was recorded on April 26, 2013, and all updates and information shared in the recording is valid as of that date; there may have been further updates or changes after this recording session.

CAHPS Cast 18: Updates in the CAHPS World / April 2013

After having spent the last several episodes talking about the Home Health CAHPS instrument, it's time for Alan and Janette to wrap up the discussion by examining the two "key outcome" questions in the survey:  Overall Rating and Recommend to Others.  Alan and Janette discuss how these questions are presented, scored, and how they could pose a problem for smaller, independent home health agencies.  As these two questions are the cumulation of all of the other survey items and experiences, Alan and Janette also discuss the most important best practices concepts to keep in mind when trying to improve scores on these particular items.

CAHPS Cast 17: HH-CAHPS Overall Rating & Recommend

The discussion in this episode focuses on the Specific Care Issues section of the Home Health CAHPS (Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) survey instrument.  This section inquires about whether or not home health providers communicated properly about prescriptions and environmental setup of the patient's home.  Alan Jackson, Janette Jones, and Valerie Sipe - all from The Jackson Group - talk through each of the survey questions related to this topic and provide some "best practice" ideas for how to potentially improve these scores in home health agencies.

David Bahnsen returns to the podcast to discuss his latest book:  Full-Time: Work and the Meaning of Life.  David holds a high view of work and, in an era where self-help gurus are teaching us how to work less to achieve a work/life balance, David wants to shift the paradigm to work/rest and celebrate the productive nature of our being.  Also discussed in this episode are what the church gets wrong about work, how each generation brings different challenges and advantages to work culture, universal basic income (UBI), whether the Marxist are right and work under a capitalist system is exploitation, and what the future of retirement might mean for working Americans.   About David Bahnsen From David’s website:   David L. Bahnsen is the founder, Managing Partner, and Chief Investment Officer of The Bahnsen Group, a bi-coastal private wealth management firm with offices in Newport Beach, CA, New York City, Minneapolis, and Nashville managing over $3.5 billion in client assets.  David is consistently named as one of the top financial advisors in America by Barron’s, Forbes, and the Financial Times.  He is a frequent guest on CNBC, Bloomberg, and Fox Business and is a regular contributor to National Review and Forbes.  He has written his own political viewpoint blog for over a decade.   David serves on the Board of Directors for the National Review Institute and was the Vice-President of the Lincoln Club of Orange County for eight years.  He is a committed donor and activist across all spectrums of national, state, and local politics, and views the cause of Buckley and Reagan as the need of the hour.   David is passionate about opposition to crony capitalism, and has lectured and written for years about the need for pro-growth economic policy.  Every part of his political worldview stems from a desire to see greater freedom as a catalyst to greater human flourishing.   He is the author of the book, Crisis of Responsibility: Our Cultural Addiction to Blame and How You Can Cure It and his most recent book, There’s No Free Lunch: 250 Economic Truths.   His ultimate passions are his lovely wife of 18+ years, Joleen, their gorgeous and brilliant children, sons Mitchell and Graham, and daughter Sadie, and the life they’ve created together in Newport Beach, California.  

153 – Full-Time with David Bahnsen

Fusionism—the viewpoint advocated by the likes of William F. Buckley and Frank Meyer of order and liberty mutually reinforcing each other—has been the dominant form of conservatism in the United States for a generation.  In the era of Trump and the rise of nationalist populism on the Right, however, fusionism has steadily lost influence.  Should conservatives double down on what’s worked in the past?  Or is it time for a different approach that was advocated by some of the original critics of fusionism on the Right?   Joining Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis is Jeffery Tyler Syck to argue for a conservative alternative to the fusionists and NatCons: humanist conservatism.  The humanist conservative is interested in preserving the diverse daily practices of human existence, as advocated by noteworthy thinkers like Michael Oakeshott, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, and Peter Viereck.  It’s a quitter, more moderated form of conservatism that—Syck believes—could offer an antidote to the excess of the nationalist populous radicalism ascendant on the Right.   About Jeffery Tyler Syck From jtylersyck.com   Jeffery Tyler Syck is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Pikeville.   Tyler’s academic research focuses on the development of American democracy and the history of political ideologies. He is the editor of the forthcoming book “A Republic of Virtue: The Political Essays of John Quincy Adams” and is completing a second book manuscript entitled “The Untold Origins of American Democracy.” This second book describes how the political debates between John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson forever altered the republic created by the American founders – leaving behind an increasingly majoritarian democracy. His essays and articles on politics, philosophy, and history have appeared in several public facing publications including Law and Liberty, Persuasion, and the Louisville Courier-Journal. Tyler’s academic work has recently been published in the journal Pietas.   A native of Pike County Kentucky, Tyler’s political thought and writing are strongly shaped by the culture of Appalachia. With their tightly knit communities, the mountains of Appalachia have instilled in him a love of all things local. As such his writing most often advocates for a rejuvenation of local democracy and a renaissance of rural culture.   Tyler received a Doctor of Philosophy and Master of Arts in Government from the University of Virginia. He received a Bachelor of Arts in Government and History from Morehead State University where he graduated with honors.   You can follow Tyler on Twitter @tylersyck  

152 – Humanist Conservatives with Jeffery Tyler Syck

What is the single most important virtue for a leader to possess?  What quality can make the run-of-the-mill politician into a statesman?  Is it integrity, communication skills, resilience, courage, empathy, or wisdom?  All of these things are important, of course, and if any are sufficiently lacking we wouldn’t call that a good leader.  But what would you say is the chief virtue?   Conservative thinkers from Burke to Kirk to Kristol to Strauss and even many of the ancient and medieval thinkers from Aristotle to Plato to St. Thomas Aquainis identified a single virtue as the chief “political” virtue.  A virtue so important that Edmund Burke referred to it as the god of this lower world.   What is that virtue?  That’s exactly what Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis explores in this solo episode.   Mentioned in the episode: Saul Alinsky’s interview on William F. Buckley’s Firing Line.
