  • 2. "Hope for the Homeless" with Senator Steve O'Ban

    Join us as we explore the homeless crisis, exploring the problem and discussing solutions. This show is for the game changers, the world shapers, the inquisitive, and the ambitious who believe in Thomas Jeffersons great saying that, “an informed citizenry is at the heart of a dynamic democracy.” So whether you're tuning in during your commute, at the gym, or relaxing at home, join us on this exciting journey and let’s dive into this episode of, The Informed Citizen.

     

    Discussion Topics

    Topic 1: Who is Steve O’ban?

    From paper boy to seasoned senior lawyer skilled in Governmental and Legislative Affairs. Steve has over twenty-five years in private practice, seven years in state government, and five years as senior counsel for the executive at the county level. Steve has served as chair

    and ranking on health care, human services and other legislative committees and is now tackling one of the biggest problem of our time, the homeless epidemic.

     

    Topic 2: Why is the situation so dire?  

    The reason most people are on the street is

    the profound failure of family. From aging out of foster care to general lack of support. Most of our current solutions are so one dimensional. They may address one aspect of the problem, but fail to attack the others head on. Safe housing is crucial, but so is mental wellness, relationship building, and working together to build hope for a brighter future.  

     

    Topic 3: Compassion for our neighbors.

    This is a community crisis, and our solutions must be humanity centered. These are real people, with real lives. We all deserve to live in a community that is built on trust and  Community First Village provides just that. It offers solutions to the many problems this crisis raises, and is truly a light in which the hope for a brighter future can be seen.

     

    Closing Thoughts: We hope this discussion about the

    homeless pandemic raised some eyebrows and sparked some conversations. But remember, the conversation doesn't stop here. We love hearing from you, our listeners, so be sure to reach out. Until next time, stay curious, stay informed, and keep exploring new ideas. We'll be back soon with another exciting episode of The
    Informed Citizen.

  • 1. "Capitalism, Ego, and Reverse Engineering Success" with Olympian Byron Robinson

    Host: Philip Lindholm

    Guest: Byron Robinson


    Introduction: Join us as we dive into the world of

    Capitalism, exploring trends, sharing insights, and engaging in a thought-provoking discussion. This show is for the game changers, the world shapers, the inquisitive, and the ambitious who believe in Thomas Jeffersons great saying that, “an informed citizenry is at the heart of a dynamic democracy.” So whether you're tuning in during your commute, at the gym, or relaxing at home, join us on this exciting journey and let’s dive into this episode of, The Informed Citizen.

     

    Discussion Topics

    1: Who is Byron Robinson?

    From the Olympics to the world of finance, Byron is only just getting started. He brings the mindset of “there is no

    defense in track and field. If you are not successful in track, its because you didn’t do the work”, and applies it to his daily life. This approach is vital to his success, as he attacks the problems surrounding Capitalism in the modern world.

     

    2: People don’t believe in Capitalism.

    Capitalism and Entrepreneurship go hand in hand, and neither are for the faint of heart. These ideals require a high-risk tolerance, vison, ambition, consistency, and discipline which can be challenging. The question of “how can I become a millionaire, when I can’t even afford my phone bill”, is a very real scenario for millions of people. But it is possible with the help of Capitalism, to take of what is in front of you today, while keeping the long term goal in mind. Remember, success compounds.

     

    3: Is life Fair?

    It can be increasingly easy to focus on shortcomings, rather than what is actually advocating in your favor. It is so important to dive deep into yourself, and identify your strengths, and then double down on them.


    Closing Thoughts: We hope you enjoyed this peak into

    the world of Capitalism, but remember, the conversation doesn't stop here. We love hearing from you, our listeners, so be sure to reach out. Until next time, stay curious, stay informed, and keep exploring new ideas. We'll be back soon with another exciting episode of The Informed Citizen.
