Representative Jim Nash makes his debut on The Sheletta Show. He highlights all the responsibilities he has as a representative of Carver County in the Minnesota State House.

The Senator talks about what she’s working on/towards in the Minnesota State Senate this session and her upcoming role/contribution for Black Entrepreneurs Day.

There are a lot of numbers and rates to that adult responsibility and Michaell provides some clarity to the process that is daunting for so many. Michael also talks about his process when working with clients. Michael will be joining Sheletta again this year at the Capitol for Black Entrepreneurs Day. Last year he won the $5000 grant and this year he gets behind the podium to speak!

Black Entrepreneurs Day starts at the Minnesota State Capitol at 10am on Monday February 3rd!

Our show kicks off with conversations with Brian McDaniel and Jevetta Steele.

Brian McDaniel joins Sheletta for a conversation about people and government with an excellent car metaphor to help explain the anxiety being felt by so many in the first couple weeks of the new Presidential administration. They also venture into the drama that is Minnesota state politics as the house continues to negotiate power sharing agreements.
