Opportunity in America - Events by the Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program
The US faces a national crisis of homelessness and housing affordability like few other times in our history. Increasing rents and housing shortages have had devastating effects on nearly every major metropolitan area in the US and many rural communities as well. This crisis has affected everyone including children, seniors, military veterans, people with disabilities, and people working full-time. In his new book, “There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America,” journalist Brian Goldstone exposes how the decline of work and pay in the US has left many full-time workers homeless. People who clock in at hospitals, drive for delivery apps, and care for others cannot afford stable housing as increases in rent continue to outpace wage growth.Goldstone follows five families in Atlanta as they navigate the impossible demands of low wages, skyrocketing rents, and an inadequate social safety net. Through his reporting, Goldstone lived alongside families in extended-stay motels, witnessing the cycles of eviction and rejection, and capturing the resilience of those caught in a system designed to exclude them and in one that often doesn't count them in official statistics. “There Is No Place for Us” not only brings these unseen lives into focus but also forces us to confront a pressing question: If hard work is no longer enough to keep a roof over one's head, what does that say about the promise of economic opportunity in the US?This virtual book talk — hosted by the Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program on April 30, 2025 — features Goldstone in conversation with moderator Maureen Conway, a vice president at the Aspen Institute and executive director of the Institute's Economic Opportunities Program.

Inspired by some moments of self-reflection, Matt and Garrett return today to tackle the common struggles of perfectionism and procrastination, offering up their own experiences as examples. Together, they emphasize how perfectionism often becomes a form of procrastination, paralyzing entrepreneurs and business owners from taking action. Through real-life stories from their work in real estate and entrepreneurship, they highlight the importance of overcoming overthinking and embracing imperfect action. With their trademark mix of humor and practical insights, our hosts explore how new technologies, decision fatigue, and the fear of imperfection can all hinder progress, making accountability a crucial tool in breaking the cycle of inaction. Encouraging listeners to focus on progress over perfection, they stress the power of taking immediate action, no matter how imperfect it may seem, and explain how even small steps forward can lead to meaningful growth, whether in creating content, launching new projects, or delivering services. Authenticity, feedback, and iteration become key themes as Matt and Garrett demonstrate here today that taking action and learning from results is the only way to move forward and achieve success, rendering progress the ultimate driver of growth.Don't forget, if you're ready to take your life to 11, join Life at Ten Tenths' exclusive online ‘11 Circle' community for live coaching, Success Lab Workshops, accountability, a resource library, powerful networking - including referrals - and so much more!

#5: Dave Kovar – Professionalism & Empowerment through a Growth Minded Passion Driven Approach“There is no higher calling than teaching Martial Arts.” – Dave KovarMy guest this episode is Hanshi Dave Kovar who is known as “The Teacher of Teachers”. He is the founder of Kovar's Satori Academies and PROMAC, the Professional Martial Arts College. He is a prolific author and the epitome of professionalism and humility. His formulas for integrity-based success coaching have transformed martial arts training, teaching, and business across the globe. This episode is filled with guidance and wisdom from a true pioneer of the Professional Martial Arts Industry. My Key takeaway is that “There is no higher calling than teaching Martial Arts”. I absolutely love Hanshi Kovar's Growth Minded Passion driven approach. We discuss how to empower people of all ages to become more confident, healthy, happy, and contributing members of society. Hanshi Kovar also shares what it takes to provide high quality martial arts instruction, how to develop professional instructors, and most importantly how to remain a student for life by being open, and enjoying and having fun in your training, and loving the process of learning.Show Notes #5 : Dave Kovar – Professionalism & Empowerment through a Growth Minded Passion Driven Approach00:00:25 – Hanshi Dave Kovar (@hanshidavekovar) Introduction and Key Takeaway.00:02:39 – What Is the Goal of PROMAC?00:06:15 – “Adversity doesn't make the person it reveals the person.” – Dave Kovar00:09:08 – The 3 A's – Attitude(Aware of Frame of Mind), Adaptability, and Action00:12:43 – The Flow State, The Zone or Satori.

[et_pb_section admin_label="section"] [et_pb_row admin_label="row"] [et_pb_column type="4_4"][et_pb_text admin_label="Text"] On this episode of the Small Business Show, your hosts Dave Hamilton and Shannon Jean discuss how to build a reward system for volunteers or interns at your Small Business, managing your time and making connections at events and using a twist on the to-do list to see how your day went. Dave returns from SXSW with stories and tips on connecting with people by creating your own serendipity and going out of your way to meet people, even if it's just for a brief moment. We discuss the enormous contribution that volunteers make at SXSW and how to apply that concept to your Small Business. After a word from our awesome sponsors at Care/of and Abby Connect, we learn about the To-Did list. Shannon is not a fan of structured to-do and time management systems like GTD and others. It just doesn't work for him and it takes too much time to manage the information on these lists. On the other hand, at the end of the day, it's important to see how productive you were, or how much you didn't get done. The concept of the To-Did list is simple: keep a loose list, or set reminders to keep you focused on important tasks. Then, as you move into other tasks or unexpected interruptions throughout the day, record those on your list. Write down (digital or old school pad of paper) what you achieved that day. Check in hourly and be sure you are on task. Listen in for more details about the To-Did list concept and why it can be a powerful tool to help create success, create your own reality and ultimately help you to live the Charmed Life of a successful Small Business owner.
