Chamber Music Circle releases 2024-25 schedule Akiko Sasaki, the music director at the Howland Chamber Music Circle, always tries to book top talent for the nonprofit's annual concert series. This year, she worked her connections and pulled off a huge coup by bringing pianist Emanuel Ax to Beacon for a solo recital. One of the biggest names in classical music, Ax just played with cellist Yo-Yo Ma in Luxembourg and is performing Mozart's Piano Concerto 14 with the New York Philharmonic on Sept. 13 and 15. "When I tell people, their jaws drop," she says. That show is scheduled for Oct. 1, a Tuesday. Nearly all the others are on Sundays at 4 p.m., like the kickoff on Sept. 15 with the Brentano String Quartet, which will perform quartets by Haydn and Beethoven and the world premiere of Madrigal Mongolia by Chinese American composer Lei Liang. The series' fall session includes six concerts through the Ulysses Quartet on Nov. 17. A piano festival with four performances begins Jan. 12 with the Cann Duo and ends with Shai Wosner on March 2. The spring session opens with the Daedalus Quartet on March 23 and concludes on May 18 with Imani Winds, a quintet that pushes the musical envelope, says Sasaki, who likes to book at least one wind ensemble each year. Another boundary-stretcher is ArcoStrum (Oct. 6), with Strauss Shi (violin) and TY Zhang (guitar). The duo met at The Juilliard School and perform a jumble of styles from traditional Chinese instrumental music, progressive rock and what they call "original transcriptions of classical repertoire." There is no rock on their program, which includes Baroque (Vivaldi, Scarlatti), Spanish influences (Astor Piazzolla, Manuel de Falla), three Asian composers (Li Zhihul, Haihuai Huang, Choi Jun Young) and the theme of Schindler's List. Sasaki admires their "virtuosic energy." A first this year is an appearance by four singers from the Metropolitan Opera (May 4) who will perform "aria hits we might know and some we might not know," says Sasaki. "Sometimes we have solo vocal recitals, but it's nice to provide a taste of opera." To cultivate a generation of classical musicians and people who appreciate them, the circle collaborates with Arlington High School in Lagrangeville and the Jasper String Quartet to provide a chamber music experience for string students. So Percussion Imani Winds Brentano String Quartet (Photo by Juergen Frank) ArcoStrum (Photo by Karina Rodriguez) Emanuel Ax (Photo by Lisa Marie Mazzucco) In November, the innovative So Percussion will perform at Beacon High School for music students in the fifth grade and higher. "They use everyday items to make their sounds, not just percussion instruments," says Sasaki. The Brooklyn-based quartet will perform a Classics for Kids concert at 1 p.m. on Nov. 3. Later that afternoon, they'll play a program geared toward adults. Three more shows for the wee ones are planned this season. Sasaki contracts some acts so far in advance that no music programs are available for performers in 2025. She also has fun with pop-up concerts booked a month ahead and held where "people wouldn't normally expect to find classical music," such as the Howland Public Library, an art gallery, churches and the outdoor space across from Hudson Beach Glass. "People will have to stay on their toes to find out when it's happening," she says.

Stacie Humbles, Principal at Susan's alma mater, Arlington High School, has led the charge at analyzing the affects of the past two years not only on the students, but the teachers and staff at her school. This podcast is very unique and insightful into the difficulty of keeping a community in the midst of the pandemic fallout trauma. the emotional evolution of students and teachers during the pandemic the social skill issues of returning students how education is actively participating in healing The trauma responses of fight, flight, freeze or fawn  how being kind ultimately helps others heal “There are a lot of similarities between the systems of healthcare and education, with the biggest one being dealing with real people, at some of their rawest moments.” “Everyone came to us for the answers when the pandemic started but we didn't know the answers. We knew the experts but didn't necessarily have immediate answers.” “The August after virtual learning was created, there was already the beginnings of burn-out.” “Everyone kept telling us to find balance but we couldn't figure that out as we were working 20 hour days, so we began working on Counter Balance.” “We thought we would only be dealing with students who would be missing math or English skills and thought we could quickly bring them back up but that's when we were really surprised.” “Social skills for kids and adults were gone. Everyone was absorbed in their screens.” “We rewarded the kids for looking people in the eye, using a pleasant voice, saying hi - they would get bingo dabbed on the hand if they did. The kids got into it and the adults loved the results.” “I don't think we looked at the COVID as trauma on everyone in the beginning. At one point we had to realize that we were not normal either. Everyone went through trauma.” “Everyone was treating every situation as it was the most extreme crisis.” “The trauma responses took their toll on the workforce. Burnout.” “Everyone is not as high performing as they were before the pandemic.” “If you are feeling burned out, then we need to know why and figure out our role in it. Burnout has to be dealt with on the organizational level, not the individual level.” “Everyone needs their organization to have a means to work through burnout.” “Wear your badge everywhere and have others start a conversation with you – in the service industry and can engage in conversation, that is key.” “Trying to get people in for the interview then to choose us was interesting. We would do anything and everything to stand out.” “There are people that really want that human connection but they are very awkward in having it because we are out of practice and think we can just jump right in and have those conversations.” “People just wanted a battle, ready for a fight, the speak to the manager era. No one wanted a resolution but just wanted someone to get in trouble. That is still happening today.” “Now, during the last three years of pandemic that no one knew what was going on, restructuring society and now rebuilding, we are the ones that are to be here to get humanity through this.”   LINKS & RESOURCES The One Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan Sylvia Fuentes: Trauma and Toxic Stress Burnout Self-Test  https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newTCS_08.htm Susan's Website: https://susangunnsolutions.com/ SGS Phone: 888-994-3167 Money In, Money Out Book Matters Of The Heart Financial Practice Analysis Ask The Expert Conference Call

*Discusses adult themes* A basketball and football star and strong student at a suburban high school, Greg Moulton seemed like he had it all as a senior at Arlington High School. Less than a year later, it was gone -- destroyed by the spiral of drug addiction and deceit. Over the next several years, Moulton lost it all, resulting in his mother's eviction, being cut off by his family, homeless on the streets of Boston, and eventually incarcerated. For several years, Moulton lived the cycle of addiction, before finally breaking it. Now eight years sober, Moulton is a father of two, working full-time to help those battling addiction overcome it. Moulton stopped by the L.I.T. podcast to talk about surviving his journey through hell to find happiness on the other side.

Arlington Public Schools administrators are pushing to eliminate the distinction between standard and honors level classes at Arlington High School. They want to combine the two levels and call them honors as a way to promote equity and inclusion. While supporters of “heterogeneous grouping” have research that positively supports this merge, not all students are on board with this idea... Should academic class levels be a thing of the past?

Where will homeless Vermonters live?That question has come to the forefront as more than 540 households were slated to lose their rooms in motels this week. Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020, Vermont's general assistance housing program has utilized vacant motel rooms for Vermonters who would otherwise be homeless. VTDigger has reported that some 700 people were forced out of the program July 1, while people with children, or with disabilities, or who were fleeing dangerous or life-threatening conditions were allowed to remain. Vermont's emergency motel stays were slated to end on September 23 – despite the fact that federal funds are available to cover the motel housing until the end of the year.Vulnerable Vermonters have received a last-minute reprieve. On September 21, Gov. Phil Scott announced a “30-day pause” in the effort to close the motel housing program. His announcement came following criticism from legislators and advocates.One such advocate is Addie Lentzner, a senior at Arlington High School. She helped organize a letter signed by dozens of owners of emergency hotels around the state that declared: “We as motel owners call on Governor Scott to use the federal money to reinstate the GA Motel Program through December, and ensure that there is safe and consistent housing available when the time comes to transition out. At this point, every available motel room should be used for shelter. Now is the time to act before almost 600 people are kicked out.” The letter pushes back on arguments by state officials that motel owners want voucher recipients gone to free up rooms for leaf-peeping tourists. On this Vermont Conversation, we hear from people who are directly affected by the motel housing program, including Laila Lakshmair and her son, Raj Singh, who operate the Bradford Motel; Olive, a resident of a motel in Morrisville, who asked to be identified by her first name only to protect her privacy; Kim Anetsberger, executive director of Lamoille Community House, a seasonal homeless shelter; and advocate Addie Lentzner. In the second half of the Vermont Conversation, we talk with longtime advocate for the homeless Rita Markley. For over two decades, Markley has led the Committee on Temporary Shelter (COTS), one of Vermont's oldest shelters for people experiencing homelessness. Markley discusses how the homelessness crisis has deepened over the past 30 years as a result of policy choices and the closures of mental health facilities, and how policies must change for homelessness to be eradicated.

"All About the Ben"Welcome back to Jonah Asks. Ben Sherman was a high school friend who I also worked and lived with for a couple years in 2002-03. It was great to reconnect with him after a decade or so. Ben has taught philosophy and now works in the non-profit world helping people in workforce development. Ben is thoughtful, compassionate and at times, quite funny. Thanks for listening!Timestamps:0:02 Digestion and Middle Age0:05 Arlington, Massachusetts"The theater crowd at Arlington High School was just...deeply strange. They had their own pagan icon: the sacred oar. Every year, after the final performance, there would be a sacrifice to the sacred oar. My freshman year, they had bought a full-size dead squid from a butcher shop...and it got weirder after that."0:13 The Coin-Flip: Oberlin vs BrandeisBen had to decide between going Oberlin and Brandeis. His dad had left it up to him entirely. At the last minute, he was about to flip a coin. His dad sat down with him and they made a list of pros and cons. It was still a tie. So he flipped a coin. And ended up at Brandeis, in Waltham, MA.  0:17 Experiencing Different Sides of Arlington - Surviving High School: bullying and Social Life, Finding Real Friends, Embracing Weirdness and the Rocker Aesthetic"In the mid-90s, Arlington was right on the edge of gentrification. You said there were different Arlingtons. People who ran the school board would talk about an out-an-out clash between old Arlington and new Arlington and we were right in the middle of it. We were not a ritzy town, we were not a working class town, we were both things at once. That caused some weird splits and polarization."Ben: "In my experience, the portion of the school community that prioritized toughness and toxic masculinity...in a lot of cases, representing the young side of a working class that was being elbowed out of where their families had lived for years, was this hostile force. For me, it was having people randomly gay-bash you. Having people threaten violence."0:24 Identity: Weirdness and Agency0:29 Employment - Ben Works in Workforce DevelopmentThe fight for progress. Employment numbers, opportunities and low wages.0:40 Family and GrievingBen's mom died of cancer when he was 8. He was the oldest of two boys. His dad remarried a few years later. Reflecting back on that time, Ben remembers when he was an early teen, thinking about how few memories he had from the year or two after his mom died. "It was a memory hole even at a time when it was surprising for it to be a memory hole."0:50 Meeting Step-Mom"It was as smooth and warm a step-mother introduction to the family as I'm aware of."

Welcome back to Jonah Asks. This episode holds extra meaning for me and I hope it will for you as well. My high school guidance counselor was Mr. D'Antona. He was a beloved figure at Arlington High School, where he worked for over 40 years and was a positive influence on so many teenagers lives. I was one of those teens. During a tumultuous personal time in 10th grade, Vin's office was a refuge for me. His open-door policy allowed me to catch my breath over the course of a few months when life felt overwhelming and high school was a place I wanted to escape. This interview is wonderful because Vin (now Vincenzo) is as open-hearted and unguarded as any 80 year-old I've ever met. He's lived a full and satisfying life and he has survived life's unending obstacles while remaining optimistic. Thanks to my Mom staying in touch with Vin over the years, I was able to set up the interview over Zoom. Topics we discuss: *Growing up in Somerville and Everett (Massachusetts) in the 40s and 50s. *family dynamics *psychology *teaching *becoming a high school counselor *The 60s *social movements *impact of War on mental health *Vietnam *Italian family *Polish family *depression *bullying *mental health *community *grieving *therapy *empathy *weight *hiking *retirement *COVID *connections If you enjoyed this, please share the episode, subscribe to the podcast, and reach out to people you know who may be going through turbulent times.

Like we really had to fight to be free over and over and over again. And first in the sixties, and then in the nineties, you just started to see the lack of pressure combined with the complacency that comes with comfort wealth; you started to see a deterioration of these institutions that drew people together and then technology through fire at them. And threw gas on. And so now I think you're seeing this sort of collective temper tantrum, and that's happening today. And so, it's a time for  renewal, which is a good opportunity, but we just don't take a little too kata. When you're at sort of like lowest common denominator, That person's identity is associated with their politics.And that's not true. Human beings are complicated. Michael Moore: Bob and I are joined this afternoon on The Climb with a new really good friend of mine, Michael Davidson. I got the honor to meet him this summer up in Telluride. And it has been a whirlwind journey since getting to know him, getting to know Gen next, becoming a member of Gen Next.And we'll talk all about the mission of Gen Next around education, economic growth and global security. Bob and I are really excited. Michael's one of the most dynamic individuals I've ever met. So, we're going to dive into a lot of different categories and life and pursuits and happiness.Listen to the client.Michael Moore: We're just thrilled to have you today, Michael. Welcome. Michael Davidson: I love it. Thank you. Thank you. Bob Wierema: You got a lot to live up to with that intro there. [00:02:00] Michael Davidson: No pressure. ‘Pursuits'? I mean, you end with, ‘pursuits and happiness'… Michael Moore: We're gonna set the bar high. Michael Davidson: Right. America's on the line! Michael Moore: Then just go higher before we jump into your passions around Gen Next, we want to know about you. So just give us a little background where you grew up, what defines you along the way and got you to where you are today? Michael Davidson: Now I thought I was going to get away. I'll give you a simple, quick bio. Michael Moore: No softballs here. Michael Davidson: Let me give you your current state.My wife and I are living in Southern California. She's from North Carolina. I lived in Texas for a while, but I split between California and Texas. I always felt like I was the bumper sticker. I wasn't born in Texas, but I got there as fast as I could. So, we have four kids. I have a son who's almost 11 and I have two six-year-old girls and I have a one-year-old, baby boy. And so, I think one of the biggest things about me is I've always wanted to be a dad. I've always wanted to be an awesome dad. One of the greatest purposes in life is if you care about the world, care about doing good things, it's just an incredible opportunity.So, I'm very blessed. And then before that though, I grew up doing wrestling, judo, pretty competitively. I have five siblings. I moved to Texas sort of abruptly when I was 16-years-old. And then I got to work and live on a ranch. And so, in Texas, I did a lot with draft horses, almost everything you can imagine to a horse I did. And that was just awesome. I mean, super awesome. That was a tough time in my life, or it was at least leading up to it, and just working with your hands and working with the animals – that was incredible. And I had some great experiences in Texas. I got into ranching. I wrestled at Arlington High School for a year, transferred to Richland High School and I made a massive turn, did some theater. And then I got really into theater. I was [00:04:00] ranching, wrestler, judo, jock, martial arts, and then this theater there. I got exposed to people I never thought I would have been exposed to in my time in Texas, just all across the board. Bob Wierema: Where do you fall in the lineup of five siblings?Michael Davidson: I'm number four. Bob Wierema: Okay. So wrestling and judo was probably really important in the lineup of the kids, right?Michael Davidson: It was a dominant role in the family growing up. It was very, very dominant. I thought for the bulk of my life, that was all I was going to do for my entire life. I never even considered anything different, to be honest. It goes, girl, boy, girl, me, and then girl, boy. I think from the oldest to youngest, about 20 years apart and it was super cool. I'm very blessed. I have got awesome siblings. but what was interesting for me is for a long time, I was the youngest and I guess I take on some of those qualities. And then I was the middle-ish for a period of time. Then I was like the oldest of the youngest, especially when we moved to Texas. I moved with my mom and little brother and sister, and so, took on sort of a large role in my younger siblings' life at that time. So, getting to experience – I think if you're into family of origin stuff, there were a lot of ups and downs, but I'm super blessed because I experienced so much of family of origin from so many different angles.I guess one of the things is after getting into theater, and then I did a program at TCC that was in the Tarrant County College in the humanities and just the power of ideas and leadership and the role that a person could play in other people's lives and in bending history, it just captivated me. And [00:06:00] so that became a real seed that was planted or maybe watered. When I was wrestling, I'd have this experience in Russia. I got to go compete in Russia. I went twice. We went to Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan – and we went before and after following the birth of the Soviet Union. And so being exposed at a young age to people who had no freedom, no idea of freedom, and here I am homesick and obsessed with this idea of going to McDonald's and Red Square. And this is something that was just totally removed from their reality. That really blew my mind. And then I was wearing some Russian warmups and I'm in the Red Square walking around, and this military officer was asking, he says ‘Americanski' and he's asking something in Russian. I asked the translator, ‘what's he asking me?' And he says, ‘he wants to know if you're an American'. I'm wearing my Russian digs. How did he know? And he says, ‘Americans get told this a lot and he could tell you're an American because you walk like you're free'.I was very young, but it never left me, that idea of this sort of very romantic abstract concept could affect the way I move in the world. And so I think at a very early age, the idea of, and then being exposed to a lot of different types of people and a lot of ups and downs in life, I think started to weave into me finding my deep purpose, which is to make a big difference in people's lives and advance ideas that make the world better. So, I guess that's a bit of my story and what shaped me. Michael Moore: No, that's great. My oldest daughter is just completely entrenched in theater and this year has been particularly hard for her, because she normally gets to be on stage and perform in front of all of her peers and her family and friends and grandparents, and because of COVID, she couldn't do that. It was interesting this year because [00:08:00] they did a good job. They ended up making the play into a movie. Then we all got to socially distance in the auditorium and watch the movie. So, kind of an unintended consequence of that. I got to see my daughter in a movie, which was really cool, but it was hard, but with the end products, she was proud of. But I asked her a long time ago, ‘what draws you to theater? Why do you enjoy it so much?' And she said, ‘ you just get to escape and be whoever you want to be up on that stage.' So, I mean, was it an escape for you or are you just curious about it? What, what drew you to it? Cause it's a powerful thing and people either get it or they don't. Michael Davidson: I think just the opportunity to create. I guess similarly themed of being able to create, communicate the creation and see how it lands and affects people. It was a very special thing. And then I think being able to transform your devotees, transforming into a character – because a character, one of the things my original theater director had really talked about is that these stories are about the most important parts and in a characters' life.And so, you're really getting to channel a very important ideal, that's going to relate to a lot of different people. And so, you know, Steven Pressfield, the famous author, incredible novelist. He writes a lot about the muse and there's a higher order that you need to summon and, you know, I'm Catholic, and so, I definitely believe that in my context, that you're tapping into something to create and share, so that experience was really powerful in terms of specific, different roles I got to play. It does take you into different worlds and different identities in ways that you just would never expect.[00:10:00] I remember I played a father who was dying of cancer. And in the audition there was a moment where I had to reunite with my son and I remember feeling that very viscerally. And it's a tough thing to describe for people who haven't experienced that, but just the connection to the character. It's really interesting being a dad now. I still think of that moment on stage of connecting with – the character was my son and then I also got to play – it wasn't a Lorca play. That was really funky. That was at a theater out in Fort Worth outdoors. so, I got to cool different stuff.I went to Sage and Silo theater. They did a lot of like risqué, plays that were really fun and different. I remember we did; you can't take it with you, which is this wholesome, wholesome play, but from about a hundred years ago about just being grateful for what you have. This family did it – written over a hundred years ago. He did just invite all these random people into their home. It was recently on Broadway a few years ago, but the director in Texas, there's a crazy aunt or a crazy guest who ends up coming into the home. He cast a transvestite to play that role.And then just to illustrate that look that all these people come from his different walks of life. And so that exposed me to a lot of different, really incredible life stories and being able to play this romantic lead in a story; I ended up getting lucky because I was signed on as the understudy, but then I ended up getting to do a run of show.It was a super cool experience, but you're in these environments that like if I wasn't doing theater, I would never get to experience some semblance of those realities. So good for your daughter? I hope she continues with it. It's a special thing. It always has to stay with you in some way.Michael Moore: I hope she does too. She's incredibly talented. Michael, you mentioned a couple of times just the impact and [00:12:00] importance of being a dad and I feel the same way. I, made a couple of reconnaissance calls before this podcast. I gotta ask, I think you mentioned that your youngest son is Bo, and y'all adopted right? So, can you talk about that process and how you went through that? Michael Davidson: Oh, it was incredible. Actually, for one of the jobs I tried to get out of college, I ended up going to college in the Bay area in California. And then I wanted to move back to Texas, and I tried to get a job in Gladney, the adoption agency. It didn't work out and I didn't get the job. But, the facet stuck with me and I, growing up, I never had it. I never had really experienced adoption. I didn't know anybody. It wasn't a dominant thing. I just always wanted to. I think the idea of being able to provide sort of an unconditional loving environment just to a little life that may not have otherwise had, it just always  drew to me. And so, a few years ago, my first three kids, and the twins, we were surprised and blessed by them. And so once after my twins were born, it was like, we got to get organized. We have to. And so, we started on the process of figuring out what's the right pathway for us.And so, anybody who has adopted, you look at foster to adopt, foster care, what age? It's a very curious, strange process early on because you're having to articulate and express things that you'd never really thought about. You feel really awkward about it. So, we started that process and then fast-forward, we ended up bringing somebody on and it wasn't a fit with them, it was really bad. The person was pretty negligent. And so, we wasted a lot of time and money early on. So we got recommended to a person by this guy, Dave Hollis. So we got recommended this attorney. And so we start with this attorney, he's like, ‘it's going to take us a year and a half because you have three other kids and it's going to take a while'.So, we went through [00:14:00] all the processes of certifications. We had to do the first aid to get our home studied and all this stuff. And we had our sort of criteria-ish and then fast-forward, last August, we did a Gen X trip to Poland and Germany for the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. I think I was leaving Auschwitz, it was like something really intense and I got an email saying, ‘baby boy in Nevada'. And so, we scrambled into this process. And so, my son and my wife, because I wasn't able to get back, went to go meet him at foster care. It's technically called cradle care, but basically foster care.So anyways, they go and they meet him and they just they've fallen in love and we're learning about his story. Then we were able to, we brought him home later, right after actually labor day, I think. That has been an unbelievable journey. All of my kids are obsessed with him. Last night they had a dance party and he's loving it. I think adoption transforms anybody whose life it watches. So, if anybody out there that's considering it, do it. I was frightened, completely scared, especially when I became a dad the first time and then a dad to twins.Twin girls and then a dad and then adoption, each time I was frightened about my worthiness to provide and these unique circumstances. You just have faith and keep going, and then you just see how beautiful it is on the other side. So, it's been an incredible experience. My oldest son; I have this book idea about the role that fatherhood could play in building great societies and my son and I were chilling in the jacuzzi and he's like, ‘hey daddy, how's your book going along? And I said to them, ‘I need to prioritize again. It's not good'. And he goes, ‘you should really work on that' as he takes a sip of his drink, that he thinks is a margarita.[00:16:00] I'm like, ‘I know, I know'. And he goes, ‘you think, you know, like when you think that, like before I was born your soul had an interview with my soul? I said, ‘What do you mean? And he goes, I'm chilling with God' and you come up and you're, ‘I want to be your dad'. And you had to do that for me, and for the girls, and for both.And I thought it was the most powerful concept that you have to earn being a father and your whole life purpose is to be reminded that you're really being a father. And so, with all of my kids, I feel that in a really big way. And with Bo, given that he is adopted, there's that heightened sense of duty to make sure that he grows up in a home, that he knows that he is unconditionally loved.And he's a little miracle because his birth mom chose to bring him into this world. And, then now we're stewards of the early stages of his incredible legacy. So, it's for all the kids, it's super awesome. And the adoption has just been – I can't, when I try to articulate it, I feel like I'm exaggerating or embellishing, but every cliche of it changes your life. You can't really understand it unless you experience it. It's incredible. Michael Moore: So, you obviously moved around a lot early on and then ended up at school at Berkeley. Is that correct? Michael Davidson: Yeah. Before was fine. I did this at the cornerstone program at TCC, which is awesome. I got really into being a nerd and ideas. It was so new to me. I always got good grades, but [00:18:00] I was way more of an athlete. It was not like I just got good grades.; that's what you're supposed to do. It wasn't because of some pursuit of your best self, it was just you know, get your stuff together. Bob Wierema: Great. Go get it done.Michael Davidson: So it is more a function of overachieving than it is living. And so, when I went to first theater and then TCC, it did really expose me to ‘wow, there really are big ideas about how to live and how the world should be'. And so, I became very enamored with that. And then I went to Berkeley and I got really involved.I tried to get involved in every group; political group, non-profit groups, all this stuff. And Berkeley is a place where you can't kind of have an idea. You can't have a curiosity; you need to have an opinion. And if you have an opinion, you're going to be under attack.And so, it was like, ‘Whoa'. So, I had to learn pretty quickly to develop a worldview and back it up. Which was good – it forced me to raise my game, but it isn't good for free thought. So,  I got really active in politics, really as a way to sort of help young people, including myself, to live freely.And that became a very important theme to me. And then being there during 9/11, it was a very hostile anti-American place after 9/11, and everywhere else in the country was completely unified and mourning, but in Berkeley, it was not like that. And that scared me and activated me in many ways. And so that, that experience started, it carried with me quite a bit. Bob Wierema: Why was that in Berkeley? Why do you think that specifically in that area, you're feeling that? Michael Davidson: Well, Berkeley has this history of – it's sort of sad because it actually has a great history of being the sort of foundation of the free speech movement [00:20:00] and really having a legacy of freedom – but at some point, it got really taken over by radical hippies and they have a sort of political view that's I think more focused on control unfortunately than it is focused on freedom. And so that just spreads. And so, the whole city is like that. I really feel like you get into the ‘America as a superialist empire and the force of evil throughout its existence.And that's just what the sort of dominant thought is of the city, but also the most of the faculty. And then as a result, the student body ends up reflecting that type of activism. So, it is pretty gnarly. I'm from Texas, right. And I had just been on a ranch and I was sort of weird, especially at that point in my life. I remember. I don't know, it was like, wrestle, judo, and then theater but I have been on a ranch. So, I had a truck and they did not like my truck.I remember I'd walk to my apartment with the American flag on my shoulder, but with my stuff. Because, maybe I came from a meeting and we're hanging up the flag  – and I'd get confronted. And so, all my friends who were really involved in the types of causes, they really cared about American ideals and representing them on Berkeley's campus. And so that was a fun time of activism. That's for sure. It was a really fun time. It's a strange place. But my son, I was telling him about Berkeley, and we took him, and he was like, ‘why would you not love this country?' And I said, ‘we've made mistakes, but it is very sad that they don't love this country in spite of their mistakes'.Just keep [00:22:00] trying to make it great. Michael Moore: So, not to dwell on Berkeley for too long, but just one more point. With all that going on, where in that maturation did you get involved in the college and leading the college Republicans there, because that had to have just kind of been pouring gasoline on the fire?Michael Davidson: Well, there are some folks there who were really organized and active and I think it was a way to sort of have the free thought to speak freely, to organize for that. Remember I was in a class, with someone who knew way more about politics than I did. I didn't know anything, but she's in class. She knew all this stuff. And I remember asking her, ‘you know so much about the stuff. How do you know about this stuff? Are you political? You sounded like you might be like a Republican or something,' and she's like, ‘no, no, no'. And I'm like, ‘what?' And she's like Core Spirit or like something that, a very social sports scene. She just won't talk about politics. And then finally she's like, ‘no, a lot of my people won't be friends with me. If they know that I have these views,' and I was like, ‘that is jacked'.That is absolutely jacked. And so that was one of the first moments early in my time there. And then, they'd bring speakers and people lose their mind just because they disagreed with the speaker. Almost like what the heck is going on. I had a mentor. I had a mentor who was president Clinton's domestic policy advisor.Her name is Carol Roscoe. She's awesome. I got to do a trip to DC, and had an internship with her and she was a prominent Democrat at the time and just incredible mentor. So, I was like, ‘you can like people who have different points of view… How do I understand this?' So it really bugged me. I don't like things that are dogmatic and try to shut people down.People don't grow. I want to be on the side of freedom and dignity and  let's go and have that expectation of people and personal agency started to stir quite a few of my passions. [00:24:00] And so then we just started organizing and being, I think, on the side of freedom and free expression.It definitely ticked a lot of people off. I was sort of funky at that time, and broke. I only shopped at thrift stores. So, I end up like plaid pants and really long shaggy hair and people said, ‘I didn't know you had those views. Why are you Republican?' I'm like, ‘well, why aren't you?'Well, the Republican party at the time was a very different animal. And so, we've got to look at the  politics of the time, I just think I was really attracted to again, ideas and people. I wasn't attracted to this sort of party politics, but I ended up getting a lot of opportunities and being a Republican at Berkeley, it's like a man bites dog type of a story. And so, people give you a shot. Then I ended up helping lead the California youth politics effort. And then I ended up running nationally and just seeing the sort of idealism and passion of young people across the country and be part of that energy.I think it really galvanized to me that I need to be committed to a life of, of service to high ideals. And so over time, that just continue to be a trend. And somewhere in there, I did a lot with a government management consulting on government performance. I was just a social entrepreneur and in different ways, sometimes politics, sometimes nonprofits. We would run teddy bear drives for the children's hospital of Oakland, did all kinds of stuff and that over and over just became this constant kind of theme.But the activism was a lot of fun when you do get people who are very offended by just the idea that your simple view is that millions of people in the country share. And so being able to be an activist was a really fun experience, especially in a place where it's quite hostile. It is sad because the country looks a lot today, or at least on social media, it looks a lot today [00:26:00] like Berkeley's campus does in the sense of people freaking out about somebody's point of view without getting a chance to get to know them, even let alone understand the point of view. And so I always started, I always had this idea in college; it has its own charm and it's crazy, but the rest of the country is not, but now it's that sort of dogma and the theatrics have spread. And I think that's dangerous for the country. Bob Wierema: Why do you think that that is spread so much? Michael Davidson: Oh man. It's a long answer.I'll try to keep it simple. I think there's been a combination of things as our wealth has risen as a country, and with that comfort, and as you just start to remove from things that have drawn you together, so institutions have declined, values which were usually discussed in schools and in families and expected of people in business in government.There's not spaces where those conversations are had as much anymore. And so the combination of people getting comfortable being detached from real kind of character formation, citizen formation, and then the lack of adversity overall. If you just think of from the founding of our country to the eighties was like conflict after conflict and adversity after adversity, you really had to fight to be free over and over and over again. And after the fall first in the sixties, and then I think in the nineties, you just started to see the lack of pressure combined with the complacency that comes with comfort and wealth; you started to see a deterioration of these institutions that drew people together [00:28:00] and then technology through firearms or through gasoline.So now I think you're seeing this sort of collective temper tantrum. And that's happening today. And so, it's a time for renewal, which is a good opportunity, but we just get a little too caught up. And so, when you're at sort of like lowest common denominator, that person's identity is associated with their politics and that's just not true. Human beings are complicated and there's this scene, if you've ever seen the play Hamilton, Ehrenberg when he has his, ‘Oh shoot'. He's like, I should have known that the world was big enough for both of us. And so I think when you don't have adversity and you get too comfortable, you get too caught up. And that has been a problem for individuals. I think it's especially been a problem for leaders in society. I think it's very sad when executives and entrepreneurs don't understand what free enterprise is. They think it means just making a dollar. That's not what it does. It's a very sacred, special system, a dynamic system that's created a lot of opportunity. I think being able to live in a country this special and how it's a study of history and our place in history, that's a drift. And so, I think just a lot of these sort of very sacred ideals are taken for granted. I'm on this binge right now where – I don't know about a binge – but I'm reading as many sacred texts as I can.So, I just finished the whole Bible. And, I'll move into the Qur'an next, but one of the things you do notice when you read these ancient texts is they talked about high ideals and best self and generational progress, posterity, prosperity, duty. It just doesn't compute as much today. This high expectation of it. You see this [00:30:00] stuff on self-help shows, but it's not just a stead of who we are in the way the Russian says to me, ‘you walk like you're free'. Right. I walk with a little pep in my step, but that's very different than I think this idea is sort of walking like you're free and you take that responsibility in a very sacred, very kind of cherished way.So, there's, I think there's a lot of trends, but you know, institutions, complacency, wealth, lack of diversity. We're a victim of our own success. I mean, I think those are the types of technology expediting all that. I think those would be the basic reasons. Michael Moore: So see, Bob, it's an answer like that that just immediately peaked my curiosity.Bob Wierema: This could be a six-hour podcast. Literally. Michael Moore: You know,  he talked about me, walking in and his knowing I was from Texas with a little swagger, it was instantly met with his enthusiasm and this kind of thought process and evaluation and just finding meaning and purpose and just being a better person, the next day, I was like, ‘Hey, I need to sit down with this guy more'. And so pretty quickly after introductions, it was like, ‘well, what do you do?' And he started telling me about Gen  Next and the three pillars. So if we can pivot a little bit, Michael, just start telling us about how you got involved and your climb to CEO.Michael Davidson: Well, it's actually kind of funny when I obviously have this deep purpose in me and, after I finished a lot of these political experiences, I didn't go into it, but I was running into a lot of really corrupt people. The other side, like you thought of everything you didn't like of Republicans and politics. [00:32:00] I've got to experience all of that. And I think there was a lot of pressure to be disenchanted after those experiences. I ran this national political campaign – I'd say I was in a team of people who ran, but I was the candidate. And, it was an unbelievable experience, but it was just pretty sad in many ways and I was trying to figure out, ‘okay, I don't want politics to be my pathway to make a difference'. I don't know. I didn't know what that was. And so, I was trying to get a job. I was thinking, well, maybe I should get away from this jugular stuff and figure out a way to make money, I'm broke.I was trying to get a job at like the Kinsey or boss consulting or something like that, or in real estate. And so somewhere along the way, I met the founders of GenNext who were great human beings, but I met them through the course of this campaign. And so, I got to learn more about their vision, and one thing that always struck me was anything in business and life, it's going to be driven by who shows up.And what I always noticed about politics is the people who showed up were intense activists or socialites. And it wasn't enough of normal citizens or leaders – because they're all the leaders. And by that, I don't mean political leaders. I don't mean ruling class, a political class. I mean leadership class, you're in leadership roles. They all thought they were too busy to pay attention to the thing that enabled them to be free. And it always bugged me to know it. I had no idea how to channel that. And so, I've made the founders of GenNext and these entrepreneurs that are super successful, the main founder is a guy named Paul and he's, survived the Iranian Revolution – almost didn't make it out. Rags to riches story. He built the St. Regis Hotel in Orange County, California. I remember when I met him, I was like, ‘this is the wealthiest person I've ever met in my freaking life'. And I called my mom after my meeting with him. I hope he doesn't mind me telling the story. [00:34:00] I call my mom and I go, ‘Mom. I just met this guy who's so soulful and purposeful and cares so much about this country, but his tie is worth more than, than my life'. And she goes, ‘Oh, I love that you know that because you worked at men's warehouse'. And so, that was just super cool. Here he is very polished, very accomplished, but cares deeply about the world. And when you heard his story and he's survived the revolution. I think that we can't let Americans take for granted that our differentiator is our commitment to freedom and our commitment to achieving freedom together, and leaders in society where the one in the U.S. are very committed to that. And I want to draw other leaders in to be very committed to that. Who knows if Iran had had that, there may not would have been a revolution and the world would look very different, and you can see that there's a lot of recent historians who had a multi-volume set up evaluating all major civilizations throughout history. And he concluded that if leaders abdicate, the society is going to fail and he saw this trend, and this was about 15, over 15 years ago. And I was very taken by this and I was really passionate, and I was like, ‘Okay, let's turn this into like a business model'. And so, I was on my friend's wife's parents' couch and I had no place to live.So, as I said, I was super broke and I'm like, well, let's write this up. And so, we turned it into something that would be a community that would draw people who are wildly accomplished, but who actually cared about the world beyond their own financial success. And how do we create an experience that helps them be more generational in the way they think about their own life and the society around them? How they get connected to big ideas? How they [00:36:00] connect and get connected with deep purposeful people and how we could create experiences that draw that out of them?And so, along the way, it's now been attracting really incredible entrepreneurs, executives, thought leaders, authors, and we help expose them to I think the core values that build a free society and help equip them to leave a better legacy, but live it today. And then expose them to issues where they could make a difference. And that could be like on counterterrorism, or education or some other issue. So, we started out early on building that out. Now I've been at it over 15 years and we have a community across the country of all these really exceptional humans. And we've been able to travel around the world to be exposed to some of these big ideas.I mentioned before going to Poland and Germany, and seeing what it's like to have freedom shock therapy in Poland after they're on the boot of the Soviets and the Nazis and how committed they could be to freedom. But what the threats are today to their own pursuit of that go to countries like Rwanda, and you could see how otherism to raging, severe bigotry that could lead to a million people being slaughtered in a hundred days. And then how do you rebuild a country that way? Or just here, in the United States, you're seeing a generational regress, in terms of opportunity and how do we restore that dynamism that we have felt that ambition, to be exposed to those really big ideas with some of the most talented people in the country?I know it's obviously become biased, but that gives me hope about it. And so, my starting premise with GenNext was how do you harness the power of leadership and core ideals, and then translate that into an awesome experience that helps make the country better over time? It was a very attractive thing to me. And so we have been having these founders who were all these impressive entrepreneurs that achieve levels of financial success that I never could even fathom. [00:38:00] It was a pretty cool gig. Obviously, a lot of people, a lot of young people, especially my age, they don't stay at one job for a long time and I don't have any desire to leave. They're probably going to have to kick me out, or I'll try to secure. I'm deeply committed to turning this into a lasting institution that can get really advanced generational leadership in our country and play a big role in helping us make sure the 21st century is the best century we've ever had.Bob Wierema: Well, you can just feel your passion when you talk about it. So awesome. And when you talk about people doing something, I feel like you're just like this is it, you can tell you love what you're doing for a cause that you so deeply care about and is thought so passionately about. It's awesome to just hear you talk about all that because you don't see that in a lot of people, a lot of it's the nine-to-five and, ‘I can't do anything about this world, so I'm just going to live in my little space and control what I can control'.Michael Davidson: Yeah. It has its trade-offs though to be the Kool-Aid man, because my wife will be like, ‘let's go to this event with some neighbors or friends', and they're like, ‘what are you doing? Trying to change the world? What does that mean?' And then I kind of get into that, but I have to be undeterred and, just the right people will be into it. Bob Wierema: So you mentioned Michael, I think maybe you said it was the three pillars of it. What are the three pillars? Michael Davidson: Yeah, the three issues. So, let me give it a go further upstream, right?Like the theory of change is attract people with disproportionate influence that they may or may not be aware of and help [00:40:00] create an experience that builds relationships and knowledge that helps them live out a more effective legacy, and all that is the bank of a freer society across generations.The issues that we've tackled are economic opportunity, education security, because those are issues. I have this rubric that I go through to deconstruct and thiknk about the world and I'll look at what are the core principles? Then what are the issues that would have policies, politics? Then call it history or zeitgeists, whatever the pressure point is on this thing.And so, the principles are really, how do you build a free society across generations? That's the American experiment. Every generation has to commit to that over and over and over and over again in order for freedom to progress. Then the next is okay, now what issues do we do to take those values and see them through? Those issues, the three stools of prosperity are are we economically dynamic? Are we educating our kids? It's a moral and economic issue. And then are we safe and principled? And you could debate which one of those issues is more important. No. I don't know.  There's a book called antifragile and he has a section in there where he makes the argument that economic freedom is the first one.You don't get anything else unless you get economic freedom. And he assessed these other societies that start to invest in education. You need resources to invest with, and that's a product of free society or economic freedom. But I think at a point of our stage of social development, there really are three. Unfortunately, you get too many people who will say, ‘I just really care about education', but then you go further and say, ‘Oh, well, what do you mean?' ‘Well, you know I just want the kids to be better'. And it's like, ‘okay, so how are you getting involved?' He gave all the politics. I hate politics. But you don't care about education because education is a highly regulated thing by [00:42:00] politicians. And so being able to deconstruct these issues and see how they play off of each other, I think is a necessary thing for all citizens, but especially people who are leaders in a free society.Michael Moore: So one of the things that I've gotten to experience in just the short time that I've been involved that I want you to tell our audience about is the Jeffersonian dinners, and how that came about and the maturation of it. And then I'll share some insight on my first one. Michael Davidson:  You know, it's an interesting thing today to my point previously about there's less spaces today where individuals are brought together to go deep, to learn, to reflect, to even draw out their own values. I do think too many people just end up on autopilot and it's too easy to end up on autopilot nowadays. So, we really wanted a way to take our members who are all influential, powerful people. There's a lot of people who want their attention. So, creating a space where they feel like there's a place where I'm going to go deep with other impressive people. It's a super important ingredient. And so, we needed a model for that, and we were looking at who were the best builders of raging talent – an entrepreneurial thought and the founding fathers were a good example. And, Thomas Jefferson used to do this where he in his home in Monticello, he would get some of the most talented minds and have them discuss a set of values or issues.And we just decided to model that with our own community members. So, we'll draw you in, we have a prompt, that prompt might be a time of adversity and the character shaped, the prompt might be American values, and what your experience with them is, it might be gratitude. It might be ambition, [00:44:00] might be wealth. And what you find is to take some of those things that I just riffed on that are thrown around, but to say, ‘no, no for about three hours, you're going to like, think and reflect and share these things that people gloss over all the time'. You find that people get really deep and they grow as people and they grow in relationships. So that's, that's a big part of our experience for our own community to get people thinking. Michael Moore: It's an amazing experience. Back to your point, whether you call it your bubble or your comfort zone or your friend network, real quickly, you can just hang out on the surface and you can still have a good conversation, but it's not a great conversation.It's the passion that Bob and I have for this podcast; we want to have great conversations, not what you see on a headline – or I was counting this morning on the political ads. I saw, ‘liar' and ‘doesn't tell the truth', 15 times in 10 different commercials. I mean, it's bombarding every day of every minute up until this election. But I sat down in this backyard. It was a beautiful night and we dove into American values. And it was that feeling like – Bob, you know this because you've learned Spanish – when your mind just clicks and all of a sudden you're just going in Spanish and you're having dreams in Spanish and you just can't turn it off.I got home that night. I don't think I went to bed until three o'clock in the morning, just thinking through all the cool points that were made, how my point of view changed 50 different times in the course of the dinner. Where has this been? Thank you guys so much for providing that platform. It was just fantastic. Michael Davidson: I love that metaphor of drawing you into a new language. A new wavelength in many [00:46:00] ways. And I do think it's important and it doesn't just make the country better. I think it raises your game in the way that I think you start to approach your family, that you start to think about your priorities, your employees get new ideas about things that you never thought you would have picked up on.And so, we do this in a way that we have our own sort of method for doing it. The idea of getting people together to talk, that's not novel, but the way we go about doing it, of how we curate the topics, how we curate the people in it, how we structure the evening, sort of have a very distinct approach to it. And I've seen more grown men and women cry in these experiences than I ever would have thought imaginable, and it's just super cathartic – it's needed. And in today's world where everybody's expected to be on and brand and blah, blah, blah. It's like, ‘Hey, I want, I want the real you, because I am not going to sharpen iron otherwise.'Michael Moore: Another amazing by-product that I didn't even really understand going into it – and Michael, it goes back to raising your children and the importance of that and talking to them and the amazing conversation you had in the hot tub with your son. The evening before, when we had gotten the topic, I took my family to dinner and brought it up to them. And getting a 14-year-old daughter and a 12-year-old daughter's perspective on what American values meant to them, it just blew my mind how quick they were able to pivot and go deep and really think about it. And it was a 180 degree. Different than the normal conversation we would have had over dinner.And at the end of it, they enjoyed it too. We've got to do that and pierce it in the minds of these kids because they've got it. We've just got to bring it out. Michael Davidson: Exactly. I think the powerful thing too, is that [00:48:00] they see you thinking about that and our kids are not observing us being deep and purposeful collectively. They don't, they don't see that, we know that. Time at dinner is down and family-focused family time is down. Everybody's attention is very divided. And so, kids are not seeing their parents or just adults really thinking deeply about the type of world they want to create and the values they want to live by at all. And I don't think schools are doing this all that well either. And so, then where are you going to learn it? And if you don't learn it, it's going to be lost. Bob Wierema: Have you read a book called Meditations by Marcus Aurelius? Michael Davidson: Yeah. Yeah. Bob Wierema: So that book is literally with me all the time. I'm going to get a second copy because I've gone through it just so many times. And, and you talk about, if you read that book and you really dive into that and you go, ‘Oh, the stuff this guy was thinking about and how he was reflecting on things compared to the way I think before I started to have a lot of love for studying the Stoics, and my executive coach now that I work with today, really has pushed me on doing this'.And it's like, listen, I don't need you in business books. This is where you get to spend your time. You got to spend your time on you, spend your time on your worldviews, figuring out what your purpose is. I heard you like deep thinking and free thought that stuff is so important. And then you also like having the ability to like, I love this idea of these dinners because just to sit there and listen to other people and get their thoughts and not interrupt them and just ask questions and not just immediately jump to, going back to your saying earlier with the society today, like jumping and being like, ‘well, this is my opinion, I believe this. And I, I'm not even hearing what you're saying'. It's crazy. Michael Davidson: It's amazing how in human interaction nowadays [00:50:00] of one thing we've done with our team, when we have retreats is, we'll do this exercise where you just ask somebody and you all should try this. It's a very interesting experience, but you basically take two people on your team or just two people, and have one person talk, just tell us about themselves or their day for 60 seconds, but the other person cannot say a word. They just listen and then the other person does it. And what you become aware of is how much your thoughts are as loud as their message to you and that's noise. And so, getting your head clear I think is obviously very important, but in terms of the marcus aurelius, ancients and the Stoics, and, even just going post-Renaissance, take a system like free enterprise and capitalism and the opportunities that it's afforded billions of people throughout the world now. That followed deep, deep thought by Adam Smith, not about the invisible hand and the price and manufacturing of a pin or a pencil; it followed thought about human beings and what they value, and how they interact with one another. He had another book. Adam Smith has The Wealth of Nations and he had The Theory of Moral Sentiments. If you want a good summary for a contemporary audience of The Theory of Moral Sentiments, there's a book called Adam Smith Can Change Your Life. What he comments on – both Adam Smith and then Russ Roberts who wrote the other book – is that human beings want to be lovely and they want to be loved. For some reason, being loved is completely out of whack from being lovely today. And so, what the markets with really a sense of the world challenge us to do is to figure out what does it mean to be lovely? What does it mean to be good? What does it mean to stand for something? [00:52:00] It's unfortunate that a crisis or adversity is what brings that out of us. As a parent, that freaks me out.I don't want my kids to be raised the same way I was. I want my kids to have a really good life, unconditional love, and just be the best version of themselves and be expected to be the best version of themselves. And therefore, I'm going to shield them from adversity. So, as a society, we live in this wealthy period of time. We're being shielded from a lot of adversity. We're not stopping to think about what matters. It's the only way that you could make sure that you could grow in the absence of adversity is by constantly being reminded that you've got to commit to those values over and over and over again, you've got to think about it. Otherwise, someone's going to threaten you and attack you into being that way. I mean every war, every war throughout history I think has had a spring out of it of, ‘Oh shoot. I should've been better. It should've been higher ideals and I just – as a parent and as a society – I don't want us to go down that road'.Michael Moore: So, thinking about the election being right around the corner, and the mission of Gen Next and possible future Gen Next members listening to this podcast, what would you tell them? What do we need to be thinking about? What do we need to be doing and where are we headed? Not, not just for the next four years, but for the next 40.Michael Davidson: Yeah. Thank you for that. I think that's exactly it. I think for anybody out there, any entrepreneurial person – well, any person – my wheelhouse set for people in leadership roles is to seek wisdom, to really be introspective on your own sense of purpose and to really think about the long view.One of our members had a saying, ‘I want to see, I don't want to look at the moment. I want to see through the moment'. And I think leaders have to do that more than anybody right now. And so, stop, think, reflect, build community. Look for [00:54:00] things that structure this into your life.And so, we're one way of doing that, but there's other ways to do it and you constantly hear from entrepreneurs, ‘Oh, I'm really busy. I'll do that when I retire'. Screw that. It is absolutely something that needs to be woven into your life completely. Otherwise your legacy will lackluster. Your sense of fulfillment later in your life will lackluster. But I think most importantly, society is going to be worse off today. I think the reason why the election feels so nuts is not because of politics. It's because of our culture; politics reflects our culture and that's just how it works.So, if you really, really want a better political discourse, think about how you discourse with others. Do you have an opinion? Are you shutting down other people's opinions? Are you treating people really well? Are you trying to learn? And if you do do that, but you want to see things different in politics, then start financially supporting people who are in it because it's really expensive to run campaigns.It's hard to get your message out. Get out your checkbook and help good people. Go volunteer, run for office yourself. But I think the real space, the highest leverage longer-term space to make a difference – which is not sexy in today's world of instant gratification and scale – it is really just, are you being? Are you informed? Are you clear on your values? And are you surrounded with other people that are going to hold you accountable to those?In aggregate, if we do that as a country, everything starts to get better. You have a network effect, a flywheel of kind of goodness. And so, I would say that for anybody who's caught up in the election. And so, for me personally, I do not watch the news. I pay very [00:56:00] little attention to sort of what's on social media. So, I try to wait a few days to get caught up. But most of the things that I try to read are much deeper, more developed thoughts, but it does take effort. Everybody's really, really busy. You've got to carve it into your life.It's just, I think that's important. And I don't want to come across cynical about politics. I think it's really important to be politically involved, super important to be politically involved. Somehow, we got the idea in this country that that's the way, and that has not been – that's what all-encompassing politics was for dictators, not for free societies. For free societies, everybody does all kinds of things, and it's more dynamic and humans flourish. That's how it should be. Michael Moore: You know, I was thinking back, just thinking about this selection to conversations that I would have with my grandfather, who was a very, very stout Democrat, you know, back 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, that really his beliefs and his way about going about life and his family and his faith mashed a little bit more to at least the center version of the Republican party today. I can see there's been that shift, but what's the next shift? Is there going to be a third party or a fourth party or something that comes out of nowhere that nobody thought about? What are your thoughts around that? Michael Davidson: I don't know about a third party, but there are opportunities for reform. I think there's new ideas percolating: choice rank voting and trying to get more diversified representation. There's interesting stuff like that, but I think going a little further upstream, the Republican party for Trump was basically the Reagan [00:58:00] coalition and that coalition doesn't really exist anymore. And the issues, they were organized against them. I mean the Soviet Union doesn't exist anymore. And so, some of those issues I think have gone adrift and then there's a similar dynamic with the Democratic party. I think we're living in a time – this is another factor I think of why things are so messy, I think this explains the least – but we're living in a time of political realignment and so there's new coalitions being formed. There's new interests being formed because society is being reordered in many ways.The gig economy is on the rise. There's much more movement of information, enough people, relationships have broken down, institutions especially have broken down. I don't know what the crystal ball is. I would just bet that neither party is going to look the same today or look the same in 20 years or to your 40 year horizon as it does today.That's not a crazy statement. Look throughout history. That's just got to be a trend. And so, I think that there is real alignment going on. Trump is a disruptive force, like him or not, in politics, and government, and in society. And I think he's not only a disruptive force in and of itself, he's representative of disruptive forces.So, I think that the more that we could see that and just see it for what it is and chill, and identify issues that I think people really care about, we'll be better off as a people and as a country.Bob Wierema: I was talking to a friend and, he made the comment of, ‘man, it would have been great this year'. As we look at this election that's coming up, this was such a year to [01:00:00] have some leader, a great leader, step up to really bring this country back together. It is a divide and things seem to be pushing further and further apart. It's like, man, it would have been great. This would have been such a pivotal year to have somebody to step up. But you look at that role of the president and that used to be something when you're a kid and go, ‘man, I really want to grow up and be the president'. And he's like, ‘do you have kids saying that anymore?' Because of all the noise that's there. Michael Davidson: After the first presidential debate, my son wanted to listen to the Band of Brothers soundtrack, because I think he wanted to cleanse himself. I think that I have mixed feelings about that. On the one hand, obviously, we love the great leaders because they're an archetype and they help clarify a lot of what's going on individually and collectively. I actually think, let's say you look through the lens of the great leaders, and let's say in the United States, they all, if you study history, they followed  pre-existing movements and efforts, like they were risen in a tide. That's the thing that we're missing. And so, it's not so much that we need a leader to come clarify for us. Look, I love what Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan and, JFK were able to do and give us confidence and vigor and vision.So, I don't want to discount that. I think it's important, but what is more important is the sense of vision and entrepreneurship. Well, civic entrepreneurship that our citizens have, that's way more important. So, what I would say to anybody who's like, ‘man, I wish we had a better leader', you ever seen the South park episode? This was during the 2000 election of the douche bag and the turd sandwich running against each other? [01:02:00] I totally get that. It's a bummer that we don't have that turd sandwich and the douchebag, but look at the student body, what is the student body paying attention to? That's why you have a turd sandwich. So, if it's the same thing in the country, if you're dissatisfied with the options, really take stock of, ‘where am I spending any time and attention in my life to learn? To be in community relationships that are there based on those sorts of values and vision? Am I thinking about the type of country that I want to live in?' And that doesn't just mean the political position that I want to tackle or issue I want to tackle. It just means, ‘am I thinking about that? Do I represent that? Do I vote? Am I informed when I vote?' And if the answer is no, which statistically it's mostly no today, then, of course, you're going to get that. But if the answer starts to be a yes, and there's this sort of civic renewal – I think especially if people with high leverage in society, and those are entrepreneurs and executives who have a deep sense of purpose, that we all say that like being an executive is a lonely job. Being a CEO is a lonely job. We know that. And so, go deep with that loneliness. Don't just go deep. It sucked laying these people off or hiring these ton of people or doing my business repositioning or my P and L or which acquisition… Go deep on what does it mean to be a capitalist in the most prosperous country in the world? How do you represent free enterprise? How do you represent being a leader in a free society? How do you draw people in to being deeper in their own sense of values? What do people think when they think of you and do they think ‘that person's a super impressive entrepreneur?'Or do they think, ‘that person has character,' and somewhere it turned into status and [01:04:00] it wasn't about values. We can turn back time, especially with entrepreneurial humans – a lot of the people you guys have had on your podcast, I think they share this, but like attracts like, and I think that we're not seeing enough of that in the country right now.Michael Moore: Well Michael, turning back to you, and we talked about this on our prep call, this has just been hitting me more and more that this medium and capturing these stories and bringing on incredibly interesting people like yourself, we're capturing it, and it's going to be there forever. And your kids can go listen to this 10 years from now, when they're off at college, when they're traveling around the world, whatever they're doing.Bob Wierema: When your son's running for president down the road, I'm voting for him. I like him. Michael Moore: When he's either running for president or hanging out at that Hot Springs without any clothes on, right?Michael Davidson: He'll be running a kegger at the, at the White House, who knows.Michael Moore: But in thinking about the power of being able to capture words and stories and meanings and truth, what would you say to your kids?Michael Davidson: We try to talk to our kids a lot. I get family dinner – right now, we're reading a book, it's a would you rather book for kids. One of my good friends sent it to us and they love it. And so, it's simple things like, would you rather live on a plane or on a boat, and for little kids to be like, ‘why, why?' And to not just get their answer, but ask them why and ask them why a few times and get them drawn out.And so, I think trying to find a way to teach kids that every single one of them has a purpose to [01:06:00] deliver in this world. Every day should be an effort to be very conscious of that. And in order to do that, you've got to be aware of your thoughts. You have to be aware of what's going on around you. You have to be aware of your trend, your trajectory overall. Another way of saying that is, ‘what's your story? And what is this character made up of and what does this character stand for?' This character being you. One thing that being a parent has started to really draw out of me, and it's a purpose that you guys are really fulfilling with your podcast, is to be more aware of my own story and be more aware of where these things come in and shape me. There's a lot of my life that I've blocked out. And, just recently I've started trying to really dig in more on what were these moments? What did they mean to me? I'm learning a lot about my mom right now and trying to ask her more questions about her upbringing. And I learned that there were stories about adoption in her life and how if you're not aware of them and you don't have these stories and you don't learn about your story, and you don't share them with other people, then they're going to be lost.So, I really hope my kids are very aware and committed to a life well lived. And I make it a point to show them that. In a very extreme case, we took a group of D-Day veterans to Normandy for the 75th anniversary, and it was so stunningly beautiful and sad how surrounded these veterans would get. These guys are in their nineties, a hundred years old, and they're getting surrounded. A ten-year-old girl ran up to the soldiers, to the elderly men, hugged them and said that you saved and [01:08:00] liberated my grandmother. And the grad looks over and the grandmother's crying and that was stored over and over and over again.And they had not been back, and it made them emotional, the soldiers. And one of them was like, ‘how is this special for you?' And all of them said, ‘these stories need to be told. We'll forget about what can be lost or what's going to be required if these stories aren't told'. So, the stories need to be told based off of a theme and some greater way of living.And so, I hope that my kids are very aware of that and committed to that. Be a good story. Make sure your life is a good story. Michael Moore: That's a hell of an answer again, knocking them out of the park. Michael we're incredibly appreciative of your time. Just the way you go about thinking through things, we need a lot more of that in society, and leadership, and business, and politics, just across all the mediums that we talked about. So, we really appreciate your time, your insight, your wisdom, your knowledge, your passion, and just keep doing what you're doing, it's powerful. Michael Davidson: You guys too. Thank you. Thank you so much for doing this. You're going to get a time of purpose and connection, then real thoughtfulness is missing. You are filling a pretty good void. So, thank you. Bob Wierema: Awesome. Thank you very much. It was great to great to spend time with you today.Michael Moore: Thanks so much for tuning into this episode of The Climb.

Episode 16 of the Simple Kicking Show is a Roundtable featuring the TCU and SMU kickers. Griffin Kell is the kicker for the TCU Horned Frogs coached by Gary Patterson, and Chris Naggar is the kicker for the SMU Mustangs coached by Sonny Dykes. Both are Arlington High School graduates who played for Head Coach Scott Peach, which made this episode unique because both Kell and Naggar have been training with one another for nearly 8 seasons. This roundtable covers the differences between making normal field goals and converting crunch time kicks. Both kickers shed light on the hard work and dedication required to perform at a high level. How to become a better kicker through confidence, and how adversity builds mental toughness. Griffin Kell was named as the Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week for converting 4/4 field goals against the University of Texas. A road win at Darrell K. Royal Stadium-Texas Memorial Stadium, Kell firmly cemented his name as an elite kicker. TCU has a long list of solid kickers, most recently the Horned Frogs had a Lou Groza Semifinalist in 2019 in Jonathan Song. Early in a career, Kell is showing that his hard work, endless pursuit of progress, and passion for kicking will lead to many more clutch kicks. Chris Naggar finished his undergraduate playing career at the University of Texas at Austin, waiting for an opportunity to kick field goals. Naggar had the opportunity to train with Phil Dawson while at Texas. (Dawson was a 20 year NFL veteran who played for the Cleveland Browns, Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers.) Naggar has applied the lessons learned, wisdom, and self-belief to a lights out senior campaign for the SMU Mustangs. Kicking the game winning 43 yard field goal against a Top 25 ranked Memphis Tigers squad, Naggar was 3/3 on field goals (27, 25, 43), tallied a handful of touchbacks on kickoff, and placed two punts inside the 20 yards line while averaging 45.8 yards on 4 punts. This earned Naggar American Athletic Conference Special Teams Player of the Week for the third straight week. Similar to Kell, Naggar shares how he has kicked for nearly 10 years, which builds confidence required to convert clutch field goals. Naggar’s story is similar to Ty Long’s. Long is the Punter for the Los Angeles Chargers. You can hear his story of overcoming coaches and scouts who overlooked him through hard work and grit here.

Black Woman Inventor Mary Davidson's inventions are highlighted in honor of Black History Month. 16-year old Arlington High School student Sam Reynolds killed after standing up for a student who was bullied.

Madaline Langston, Education Programs Director for Encore Stage & Studio talked to Embracing Arlington Arts President Janet Kopenhaver about a phenomenal program they are conducting with Arlington High School students to teach them first hand about segregation, desegregation, race relations and more in Arlington County. Through stories told from local residents who experienced these events and field trips throughout the County, the students then turned what they learned into a deep and insightful play that is being performed in the community and in schools. Among the dignitaries with whom they spoke was one of the four junior high students who first desegregated Stratford Junior High School in 1959 Michael Jones, as well as his sister Wilma Jones. They also received guidance from SAG actress Dawn Douglas and many others throughout the program's duration. What an uplifting and interesting interview.
