Pattie was a strong woman through and through. She learned everything she knew about raising and caring for animals and growing crops from her parents  and the land she grew up on.  Because of her experience on the farm plus her ability to drive and operate farm machinery, etc, she was available to help out her country during WWII. This enabled her to be active during the Land Army, in New Zealand.

Whether because of an illness or just in need of company, she was always there to help other. Pattie was also very curious, especially regarding her friends and neighbors in this rural farming area. Josh shares some very funny stories about the phone in his house.The work that Josh is doing with "The Litter Club Network is so important.

She earned her MBA with distinction from Harvard Business School and holds both the CFA and CAIA designations, two of the most demanding credentials in finance. In this episode, she helps us understand how investing really works, who the major players are, how capital flows through the system, and why the incentives driving investors, activists, and asset managers often collide. Sarah spent more than twenty years at Wellington Management, where she rose to Partner and Director of Alternative Investments, after working at Goldman Sachs, McKinsey & Company, and the U.S. Department of State. Today she leads FCLTGlobal, an organization dedicated to helping companies and investors focus on long-term value creation. She is also the author of The CEO's Guide to the Investment Galaxy.

Michael and Phebe wrap up this season of For the Good of the Public podcast with a talk by James Catford, founding board chair for the CCPL. James shares how spiritual practice is not at odds with activism and public leadership, but rather our spiritual formation is about the very well we have to draw on for our public engagement. He shares practical wisdom to remind us to listen to the longings of the heart and remember the motivations of our service in the first place. Watch the video recording of this talk on YouTube! “Ending on this talk is hopefully something that reminds you that you are more than the work that you do. While your work is so valuable, you are a person and a human first.” -Phebe [01:43] “I think what James gets at here is a level of integration… You take your spirit with you when you protest. You take your spirit with you when you're knocking on doors or drafting that policy or having a conversation around the dinner table, around politics and civic issues.” -Michael [03:03] “Well don't leave your hunger, your longings, unsupervised. Don't allow your longings to be put to one's side. Listen to the longings of the heart. Because if you don't, you will hit what some people have called the wall.” -James [15:15] TIMESTAMPS [00:00] Intro [05:23] Who formed you?

My guest is the oldest of two daughters, with seven years between she and her younger sister. Mina was working the night shift at a factory, when she was pregnant with her first daughter.  Parita shares that her mom used to let she and her sister explore as much as they needed when they were young. Both daughters were pushed academically and socially, but the girls found comfort in the fact that there mom would be there if ever they needed her. Mina was the oldest of four daughters. Parita's Maternal Grandfather said, "God didn't give me a son but he gave me the strongest daughters." Parita continues saying "her mother has experienced grief , being misunderstood  because she's a strong, capable, ambitious woman who's not afraid to speak her mind when she sees injustice." "It's taught me me that you have to be who your are. You have to come to the table with who you are, " commented Parita.Enjoy this listen.

On Wednesday, the government announced new energy reforms in its Energy Package. This follows a review into the sector being undertaken by Frontier Economics. Despite this, the government has decided not to follow a significant amount of recommendations within the review. For our weekly catchup with the ACT Party's Simon Court, News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host, Joel, spoke to Court about this package, and some of the backlash the government has received from the sector regarding it. They also discussed Samuel Leason, Rana Hamida, and Youssef Sammour, being detained in Israel by attempting to deliver aid to Gaza. The interception of these vessels is illegal under international law, as the interceptions took place in the Mediterranean Sea between 70-80 nautical miles off of the Gazan coast. This comes a month after over a hundred humanitarian groups have signed an open letter calling for Israel to allow essential aid into the besieged Gaza Strip. They say they are “not authorised” to deliver aid, unless they comply with tough Israeli measures. Joel also spoke to Court about the three New Zealand detainees, and what the government is doing to get them home. But first, they discussed energy reforms.

The Heroines of Jiangyong were women in rural China who made a secret language – Nüshu – to communicate with each other. Nüshu translates directly to “women's writing” and is a series of phonetic scripts. The practice is estimated to go back as far as the Shang Dynasty 1600 to 1046 BCE. For centuries it was the language of female defiance to the Chinese patriarchy, legitimizing the thoughts, feelings, and experiences of rural women who had been denied access to an education.For Further Reading:Heroines of JiangyongNüshu: China's secret female-only languageReviewed Work: Heroines of Jiangyong: Chinese Narrative Ballads in Women's ScriptNüshu, the women-only language that recorded a hidden perspective of history A centuries-old secret script called nüshu is empowering young Chinese women For the past six years, we've been telling the stories of women you may or may now know– but definitely should.

On this episode of the podcast, Shiloh Marx breaks down California's Election Integrity Initiative and the sweeping removal of more than 3 million inactive voters from the state's rolls. The June 30, 2024, EAC report revealed that the purged names were tied to out-of-state moves, deaths, and felony convictions, cutting the inactive voter total from 4.9 million to 2.8 million. Marx explains why accurate voter rolls are essential for public trust in elections and critiques the state's sluggish and error-prone process—especially since some removed voters still managed to cast ballots in 2024. He also previews ongoing efforts to eliminate another 320,000 ineligible names and the upcoming November 4 special election on redistricting.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Solomea's story begins in Drohobych, a city in the south of Lviv Oblast, Ukraine. At a young age, Solomea lost her hearing mainly because of two illnesses, Menangitis and Scarlett Fever. At the time, she was luckily old enough that she had learned to speak and read, so she adapted by learning how to read lips. Andy tells this heartwarming story of his mother's love  in his latest book, "A Promise Kept: A Tribute To A Mother's Love."  And Andy didn't know any of his mother's background and experiences until he was fifty years old. And he kept his promise to his mother to help others that were in need and indeed he has.Solomea was a young child when she and her family witnessed the "Nazi occupation of Poland and then the Soviet occupation of Western Ukraine," explains Mr. Semotiuk. His mom, was one of the first refugees to flee war torn Europe to Immigrate to North America.A life filled with challenges, loss of love, family and yet she never gave up. Years later, as a single mother, she was able to put her son through law school. Andy explains, "I watched my mother put me through law school on her hands and knees, washing floors." Mother and son had a very special bond. I don't think that a day goes by that Andy doesn't think and thank his mother for all that she's taught him and all that she did for him.Andy Semotiuk has also written a book entitled, "Solomea." Solomea, his great Aunt, was his grandmother's sister.  She was also a very,  successful leading dramatic soprano opera singer, but unfortunately WWII got in the way of her lengthy career. She performed with Enrico Caruso, Arturo Toscanini, Giacomo PucciniThere is so much more to this story. I hope you enjoy the listen. I have so much respect for Solomea, Andy's mother. She endured so much, yet she always landed on her feet. She connected with wonderful women that helped her along this complicated and challenging journey. Imagine immigrating to a new, unknown country, not speaking the language, not being able to hear, having no money or family. And yet Solomea prevailed and raised a wonderful son who is happily helping others in need of legal immigration services.It was a pleasure to speak with Paul and share this eye opening story of a young woman who wasn't afraid to step out alone.By the age of nine, Andy still never knew who his biological father was. Yet it was an honor for Andy to take the sir name of the gentleman who Andy referred to as his "grandfather/grandpa," who's name was William Semotiuk. Law firm website:https://pacelawfirm.com*Personal legal website:https://myworkvisa.com*LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/andysemotiuk/Instagram:https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Andy+SemotiukX.Com:https://www.X.Com/ASemotiuk*Facebook personal:https://www.facebook.com/asemotiuk/Facebook business:https://www.facebook.com/myworkvisaYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Andy+SemotiukIMDB:https://www.imdb.com/name/nm14878772/*Amazon:https://www.buysolomeabook.com/The Clinic that helped Andy's mother was the  Weinlos Clinic, located at 15508 87 Ave NW, Edmonton, Alberta. edmonton.cdncompanies.com+3health-local.com+3edmonton.cdncompanies.com+3 "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.
