Podcast appearances and mentions of andrew ballard

We talk with a political scientist who has been collaborating on a project to explore how minority parties are able to accomplish their goals. Dr. Andrew Ballard is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Florida State University. His forthcoming book distills research that he, and his co-author have been doing that looks at U.S. Congressional power dynamics in history to see just how minority parties approach getting their goals into legislation, or in some cases obstruct the majority party's efforts.

Ayyyoo! This year, we've had a pretty intense start at Suncoast Fresh with multiple floods and ongoing pandemic-related issues, which ultimately led us to start the Prodcast a little later than anticipated. But we have missed it so much and are soo keen for an epic season as we have some incredible guests lined up. So if you are new, hola, and if you've been here all along, 'ello poppet. This Prodcast features a collection of stories from industry experts, local legends, food critics, business owners and more!   So without further or do, drum roll please, the first Prodcast of the season in 2022 is with Andrew Ballard! Andrew is a humble, genuine chef full of creativity - a complete rockstar who flies under the radar. He has championed more than one competition and recently took out the 2021 Australian Professional Chef of The Year, Foodservice Australia! Andrew was also selected to represent his home country of New Zealand in the Bocuse D'or in Lyon, France. This competition was the brainchild of famed French chef Paul Bocuse and is considered to be the Olympics for chefs. So you could say this legend knows a thing or two. So grab a bevvie or pour yourself a cuppa. This one is a goodie!

Republicans lost control of the House in 2018 and now could lose the Senate this year. Their fortunes seem tied to Trump and his agenda, but new research suggests they would be better off trying to distinguish themselves from him and his policies. Sarah Treul finds that votes to repeal Obamacare cost Republicans seats in Congress in 2018. They did not listen to their constituents at Town Hall meetings and the repeal effort resulted in lower vote share. Andrew Ballard finds that Trump endorsed a lot of Members of Congress in 2018 but it actually hurt those endorsees, stimulating the opposition more than the supporters.

Andrew Ballard knows a thing or two about business success. He does it. He teaches it. He wrote a book about it. He gives talks on it, including one at TEDxSnoIsleLibraries. But it took near-death health issue for Ballard to realize – and then incorporate – the most important component of success and achieving breakthrough growth. On this episode of Check It Out!, Ballard discusses how balancing family and business can make for healthier outcomes in both areas. There were plenty of references to books, events and people; hope we got all of ’em here: Six Sigma reading list Your Opinion Doesn’t Matter Marketing Solutions website Andrew Ballard’s LinkedIn profile Blue Ocean Strategy Voice of the customer Business Pros events What is dyslexia? Brain tumors A to Z business databases and others Dave Lee Howard Band Hurricane Ridge band Teasing & bullying Also … In our Book Notes segment, Jackie Parker, Sno-Isle Libraries Lead Librarian for Readers’ Services, offers up three very different titles that she enjoyed. Her recommendations are: Vox, a novel by Christina Dalcher that Parker says is “clearly a descendant of The Handmaid’s Tale.” Dalcher imagines a society where the rights of women have been pared away until they are restricted to speaking just 100 words a day. The Garden of Small Beginnings by Abbi Waxman is about how gardening not only helps plants grow, but also helps the young widow and mother who takes on the unfamiliar task. Tougher in Texas is part of Kari Lynn Dell’s series set with Texas rodeo as the backdrop. The lead character, who has Asperger Syndrome, copes with the challenges of life and the rodeo circuit. The entire “Texas” series is available as an eBook and audiobook. Proudly brought to you by Sno-Isle Libraries, serving residents of Snohomish and Island counties in the great state of Washington, and the Sno-Isle Libraries Foundation.
