SummaryThe latest episode of the Startup Junkies podcast shines a spotlight on the enduring legacy and forward-thinking strategies of ACC Capital (formerly Arkansas Capital Corporation). Host Caleb Talley, joined by Jeff Amerine, welcomes Sam Walls, who shares the rich history and impact of ACC in Arkansas's entrepreneurial ecosystem.From its inception in the 1950s, ACC played a pivotal role in driving economic development and entrepreneurship in a state once plagued by poverty and limited capital. Sam details how ACC, born out of the vision of leaders like Winthrop Rockefeller, became a “third leg” in supporting capital needs, working alongside the state and private sector to bring manufacturing to Arkansas. Over the decades, ACC expanded its services, from pioneering SBA and USDA-guaranteed lending to launching Arkansas's first in-state SBIC venture capital fund and leading initiatives like the Governor's Cup business plan competition.Additionally, the episode highlights ACC's bold leap into the federal EB-5 immigrant investor program, which contributed nearly six hundred million dollars to transformative projects like Big River Steel in Mississippi County. For those passionate about economic development, this episode is an inspiring look at how steady vision and adaptability can create lasting impact.

Eudocia was from Heliopolis of Phoenicia (now Baalbek in Lebanon). A surpassingly beautiful pagan, she led a licentious life and became wealthy from the gifts of her many lovers. One day an elderly monk, Germanus, came to Heliopolis and stayed with a Christian whose house adjoined Eudocia's. At night, he began to read aloud from the Psalter and a book on the Last Judgment. From next-door, Eudocia heard him. Her heart was reached, and she stood attentively all night, listening to every word in fear and contrition. The next day she begged Germanus to visit her, and he explained the saving Christian faith to her. Finally, Eudocia asked the local bishop to baptise her. She freed her servants, gave all her wealth to the poor, and entered a monastery.   "Her former lovers, enraged at her conversion, her refusal to return to her old ways, and the withering away of her beauty through the severe mortifications she practiced, betrayed her as a Christian to Vincent the Governor, and she was beheaded"(Great Horologion). According to some,this was under Trajan (98-117); according to others, under Hadrian (117-138).   The Prologue gives a somewhat different account: that after entering the monastery, Eudocia was permitted to pursue the monastic life in peace — with such devotion that, thirteen months after she entered the monastery, she was chosen as abbess. She lived for fifty-six years in the monastery, and was granted the gift of raising the dead. In her old age, a persecution of Christians arose, and Eudocia was beheaded along with many others. "Here is a wonderful example of how a vessel of uncleanness can be purified, sanctified and filled with a precious, heavenly fragrance by the grace of the Holy Spirit" (Prologue).

Jeff Bliss reports that Governor Newsom's national book tour faces criticism for historical inconsistencies, dismissive comments toward a diverse audience in Atlanta, and unprofessional responses from his press office. 2.1900 LA ALLIGATOR FARM

John Corcoran is a recovering attorney, an author, and a former White House writer and speechwriter to the Governor of California. Throughout his career, John has worked in Hollywood, the heart of Silicon Valley, and run his boutique law firm in the San Francisco Bay Area, catering to small business owners and entrepreneurs. Since 2012, John has been the host of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast, where he has interviewed hundreds of CEOs, founders, authors, and entrepreneurs, including Peter Diamandis, Adam Grant, Gary Vaynerchuk, and Marie Forleo. John is also the Co-founder of Rise25, a company that connects B2B businesses with their ideal clients, referral partners, and strategic partners. They help their clients generate ROI through their done-for-you podcast service. In this episode… A podcast can open doors, spark relationships, and quietly become your most powerful business development tool. But in a world where anyone can hit record on their phone, what actually separates a show that drives growth from one that fades into the noise? According to John Corcoran, the difference comes down to intention and execution. Professional production is not about fancy studios or overproduced edits, but about clean audio, thoughtful structure, strong branding, and a strategy that supports relationship-building and thought leadership. When you treat your podcast as a core part of your business development strategy rather than a side project, it becomes a powerful engine for networking, credibility, and long-term growth. Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as Chad Franzen of Rise25 interviews John Corcoran about mastering podcast production for business growth. They discuss what separates professional podcasts from DIY efforts, how video has become essential for reach and SEO, and why over-editing can actually hurt authenticity. John also shares advice on leveraging thought leadership and short-form video to expand your impact.

Reps. David Scott (D-GA) and Tom Suozzi (D-NY) appeared to “doze off” during Donald Trump's SOTU address. On our radar this week… “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”  – George Orwell, “1984” We opened last week's podcast with those words from Orwell's prescient dystopian novel. On Tuesday, Donald Trump lived those words in a gibbering, rambling, bitter, divisive, partisan, and lie-filled one-hour 47-minute diatribe. The speech was boycotted by dozens of Democrats … and a majority of the U.S. Supreme Court and, based on the TV ratings, the majority of Americans. Newly elected Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger, in the official Democratic response, summed up Trump in one biting paragraph: “…who benefits from his rhetoric, his policies, his actions, the short list of laws he’s pushed through this Republican Congress? Somebody must be benefiting. He’s enriching himself, his family, his friends. The scale of the corruption is unprecedented. There’s the coverup of the Epstein files, the crypto scams cozying up to foreign princes for airplanes and billionaires for ballrooms, putting his name and face on buildings all over our. Nations capital. This is not what our founders envisioned. Not by a long shot. So I’ll ask again. Is the president working for you? We all know the answer is no.” Ryan Garza – Detroit Free Press A day later, Governor Whitmer offered her 8th and final State of the State assessment: realistic, grounded in reality, and a reflection of someone whose approval rating is 15 points higher than Trump's. Multiple polls show a stunning 60+ percent of Americans say Trump sucks while Whitmer's approval has consistently been in the low-to-mid 50's. Whitmer's speech focused on “kitchen table” issues: affordability, medical debt, housing and literacy. She somehow forgot to label Republicans as “Low IQ”, “Crazy”, “Lunatics” or responsible for all of Michigan's problems … she didn't even once blame anything on Rick Snyder … but she did take the opportunity to brag about Michigan athletes dominating the U.S. medal count at the Olympics. And she even high-fived House Speaker MAGA Matt Hall for working collaboratively on sick-time legislation! The contrasts between those two speeches frame this week's discussion. Later in the podcast, we are joined by two anti-authoritarian experts to discuss an issue facing many American families and neighbors: how we can talk with each other in this era of often-angry partisan divisions – and why it is critical that we do. We've all been there. Going to the Sunday family dinner that always devolves into a debate about Trump. A few of my extended family members are MAGA to the point where we avoid politics completely. Scrolling through Facebook and encountering that childhood friend whose feed has become a minefield of MAGA memes. For a decade, the conventional wisdom for surviving the American political divide has been “don't go there.” We've treated political topics like radioactive waste—best left buried for the sake of the relationship. The folks at the Democracy Investment Fund think that silence is costing us more than we realize. Their new free app, LSTN2U, is a bet on a radical idea: that we can actually talk to each other again, provided we stop trying to “win.” LSTN2U isn't a social media network or a news aggregator. It's essentially a flight simulator for difficult conversations. The free, nonpartisan app provides a judgment-free digital resource where users can practice realistic dialogue. We're joined by the two people behind this optimistic approach to politics: my friends Erin Dobson and Trygve Olson. LSTN2U is a free app: no upsells or hidden fees. Your data is not sold or used commercially. LSTN2U emphasizes: Active Listening: Truly hearing the “why” behind someone's “what.” Emotional Awareness: Identifying when your own “fight or flight” response is hijacking the logic centers of your brain. Boundary Setting: Learning how to stay in a conversation without losing your peace of mind—and knowing when it's OK to step back. Other issues on our radar this week that, in more normal times, would occupy an entire podcast include The appearance that Donald “Give Me the Nobel Peace Prize” Trump is on the verge of starting a war with Iran … a war that could rival the Iraq and Afghanistan wars in futility, and further alienate the United States from the world. This comes six months after Trump claimed to have obliterated Iran's nuclear weapons capabilities. Apparently obliteration has a short shelf life. The Epstein cover-up became even more evident with the revelation that dozens of documents pointing directly at Trump … including allegations of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl … have been hidden by the utterly corrupt Pam Bondi. But Republicans on Capitol Hill are more interested in the Clintons, with Bill and Hillary dragged in front of the House Oversight Committee this week for depositions that will keep the Epstein story in the headlines … but provide little else. After the Supreme Court told him his tariffs were illegal, Trump doubled down by imposing a 10 percent then 15 percent tariff on all imports. If, as Trump says, those tariffs would replace the federal income tax, it would be a huge financial windfall for the highest income taxpayers … his billionaire buddies, shifting the tax load to low- and middle-income families. Republicans are pushing to pass a bill to combat non-existent voter fraud. The so-called “SAVE” act would, in reality, burdening millions of Americans as they exercise their right to vote by requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote. The proof: either a birth certificate or passport. Millions of American citizens, including low-income, minorities, seniors, and -get this- women who have a different last name than they were born with, would have to jump through hoops and incur costs to comply. FBI Director Kash Patel spent $1-million or more of taxpayer money for a thinly disguised junket to the Olympics, culminating with chugging beer with the victorious U.S. men's hockey team. Of course, he claimed official business as an excuse for his trip. New polling shows the race for Governor appears to show the race is a statistical tie, with Democrat Jocelyn Benson narrowly leading Republican John James and independent Mike Duggan. But the polling raises questions, especially because the poll was commissioned by supporters of Mike Duggan. The poll assumes James will be the survivor of a four-way GOP primary race, with 78-year-old Perry Johnson promising now to spend $10-million over the next few weeks in a statewide advertising blitz. Legislation has been introduced to limit the use of artificial intelligence to monitor workplace activity. State Representative Penelope Tsernoglou joined with Michigan AFL CIO President Ron Bieber to warn of abuses already happening as some employers use A.I. to monitor everything from computer activity to bathroom breaks. State House Speaker Matt Hall is floating a property tax relief plan funded by enacting a new tax on services – an idea once promoted unsuccessfully by Jennifer Granholm. The Department of Homeland Security says ICE officers will not interfere with voting precincts in November … but a lot of people are skeptical given the history of voting fraud conspiracy promoters making the promise.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro joins us for a conversation about the intersection of public service, personal faith, and Jewish values — and his new memoir, Where We Keep the Light: Stories from a Life of Service. From an early age, Josh Shapiro learned and practiced the power of showing up, listening, and working to make peoples' lives a little better. And as Governor of Pennsylvania, he's delivered. Reflecting on what he's learned by knocking on doors, serving his community, and tackling the tough issues we face, Where We Keep the Light is Shapiro's testament to how the Jewish values instilled in him as a young man have shaped his life and career in public service. In a candid conversation celebrating the book's launch, hear Shapiro discuss his political, spiritual, and personal journey — how he's combatting political violence and hate in Pennsylvania, why we need leaders who are willing to bring people together and deliver results, why he believes there's more that unites us than divides us as Americans, his take on the future of the Democratic Party, and much more.

Dr. Nirav Shah joins our host Cate Blackford on the podcast to discuss his run for Maine governor and how his background in public health as the former director of the Maine CDC shapes his approach to leadership. He talks about the importance of competent state governance, clear communication and rebuilding public trust. Shah outlines his plans… The post Nirav Shah on public health, housing and the race for governor first appeared on Maine Beacon.

Candidate filing season is underway, and the next few weeks will reveal not just who's running—but who can't get on the ballot. Chris and John flag what to watch: retirements, surprise re-runs by incumbents, and especially the volume (and seriousness) of primaries against sitting legislators—potentially on both sides of the carbon capture pipeline issue.They then revisit TIF (Tax Increment Financing) within Iowa's urban renewal framework and the renewed debate around it inside the Governor's property tax proposal. The core reforms discussed: (1) a 20-year limit (ending “perpetual TIFs”), and (2) narrowing eligible spending toward horizontal infrastructure (roads/utilities) rather than incentives that effectively boost developer profitability. The theme is not abolition—just enforceable guardrails.Next up: a Budget Continuation Act concept—essentially a “status quo” backstop that keeps government operating if a budget isn't passed on time (whether due to political deadlock or emergencies). They frame it as stability for taxpayers and a structural safeguard against D.C.-style shutdown politics and policy “hostage-taking” during endgame budget negotiations.Finally, they tease broader regulatory reform via the REINS Act approach—tightening legislative oversight of major regulations and reinforcing checks and balances over the administrative state. They also note movement on integrity/oversight legislation affecting SNAP and Medicaid, driven in part by federal rule changes and the need to reduce error and fraud exposure for Iowa.00:00:14 – Welcome + trivia setup00:01:12 – Trivia question: President + Chief Justice (only one person)00:02:13 – Candidate filing period: who's in, who's out, and what to watch00:05:04 – Primaries vs incumbents; carbon pipeline politics00:06:50 – Democrats: U.S. Senate primary chatter and endorsements00:09:04 – TIF recap: what it is and why it exists00:10:45 – Governor's TIF reforms: 20-year limit + guardrails00:12:33 – Restricting TIF uses: infrastructure vs developer incentives00:17:00 – Budget Continuation Act: how it works and why it matters00:21:25 – How budget brinksmanship drives bad policy add-ons00:24:16 – REINS Act: regulatory oversight and checks/balances00:27:54 – SNAP/Medicaid oversight bills: error rates and fraud control00:29:15 – Wrap + subscribe

Justin and Jesse Gruber broadcast from the badlands of South Jersey to officially rename hockey to "Ice Football" and celebrate the beautiful sound of the New Jersey governor getting relentlessly booed by Devils fans. Moving from sports to spiritual gymnastics, the guys trace the 1950s "stay out of our bedroom" movement directly into the modern church. They compare C.S. Lewis's safe, "vanilla" Anglican roots to today's Church of England, highlighting a clergyman's Greta Thunberg-style meltdown over the church not fully affirming "procreative" and "God-glorifying" same-sex marriages. Then, they tackle the ultimate boss of post-truth secular logic: a viral post from a churchgoing, charity-running lesbian mom who claims her spicy OnlyFans account is just her faithfully loving the sensual body God gave her. Plus: Jesse valiantly fights off sleep on mic, the guys realize they completely lost track of their recording time, and they drop a tease for a brand new podcast t-shirt.

The February 27 edition of the AgNet News Hour featured a wide-ranging and energetic conversation with Elaine Culotti, who officially announced she is running for Governor of California. In a discussion that touched on everything from water and infrastructure to immigration and state spending, Culotti made it clear she believes California needs a complete reset. Culotti, a farmer and entrepreneur, is running with No Party Preference, arguing that California's biggest challenges won't be solved by partisan politics. With the state facing a massive budget deficit, high gas prices, struggling infrastructure, and ongoing recovery from devastating wildfires, she says leadership must focus on practical solutions instead of party loyalty. A major theme of the interview was Sacramento's role in what she describes as “oppression” of local cities through unfunded mandates. Culotti argued that cities and counties are often required to comply with state directives without receiving the funding necessary to implement them. According to her, that structure drains local resources and limits communities' ability to solve problems on their own terms. Infrastructure also took center stage. From the unfinished high-speed rail project to crumbling highways and rising fuel costs, Culotti emphasized the need to prioritize roads, freight corridors, and supply chains before launching new large-scale initiatives. With refineries closing and transportation costs rising, she warned that California families and farmers will continue feeling pressure at the pump and in grocery stores unless energy and logistics are addressed directly. Water policy was another focal point. Culotti stressed that California must bring in subject-matter experts and implement long-term, science-based strategies to secure reliable water supplies for agriculture and growing communities. She also called for stronger collaboration with federal agencies to unlock infrastructure funding and stabilize the state's economy. Immigration policy entered the conversation as well, with Culotti highlighting concerns about the backlog of legal immigration applications and the strain on local systems. She argued that restoring order and clarity to the process is essential for economic stability and public trust. Looking ahead, Culotti said the upcoming primary will be critical. With California's “top two” primary system sending only the highest vote-getters to the general election, she is appealing directly to voters across party lines who want accountability, fiscal responsibility, and economic development. As California prepares for the 2028 Olympics and continues recovering from wildfire damage, Culotti says the state must rebuild its foundation — economically and structurally — before pursuing new ambitions. Part two of the interview continues next week.

Josh Green is a medical doctor from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and the Governor of the State of Hawaiʻi. Before stepping into public office, he spent more than 20 years as a family physician and emergency room doctor, and even while serving in government, he continued caring for patients in rural and underserved communities across Hawaiʻi. He's one of the few governors in the country to keep practicing medicine while in office and has been recognized twice as Hawaiʻi Physician of the Year by the Hawai'i Medical Association, most recently in 2022 for his leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic. Beyond Hawaiʻi, he also led a medical team to Samoa during the 2019 measles outbreak, helping vaccinate tens of thousands of people in just days. This husband and father of two has delivered the largest tax cut for the middle class in Hawai'i State history and has made the largest investment in reducing homelessness in Hawai'i State history, and granted over 2,500 Hawaiian Homestead Land leases in 2025 — the most awarded in a single year in DHHL's 100 year history.In this episode we talk about growing up in Pittsburgh, his education, how he ended up in Hawai'i, living in Kaʻū, working in healthcare, running for office, becoming governor of Hawai'i, his hobbies outside of work, and so much more.

In this week’s episode of Political Contessa, Jennifer welcomes back her friend, Kendall Qualls, a business entrepreneur, Army veteran, and candidate for governor of Minnesota. This episode is a clarion call for civil discourse around education, governance, and community values. Kendall's vision for Minnesota is one of revitalization, seeking to address the economic challenges that have driven significant outmigration and resident dissatisfaction, and emphasizing the need for accountability and strong leadership in the statehouse.Jennifer and Kendall explore the fallout from the recent $9 billion fraud scandal in Minnesota and how it reflects broader governance issues in blue states. The conversation pivots to examine the implications of such scandals in Massachusetts, highlighting alarming population decline driven by those same policies. They dissect the perils of unchecked spending on illegal immigration and its impact on local communities, underscoring the need for responsible fiscal management that serves the citizens. They explore the explosive social movements in Minnesota, questioning the motives behind activist-driven narratives and the implications of such activism on public safety and community relations. This episode offers a crucial perspective on the challenges posed by ideological extremism in the political landscape, particularly regarding education, societal values, and the harrowing racial division. “We’re not hyphenated Americans, so it’s time to stop acting like it.” ~Kendall Qualls Today on Political Contessa: The consequences of economic policies in blue states directly affect local families, leading to significant outmigration to states with more favorable economic conditions. The recent fraud scandals in Minnesota reveal systemic governance failures with no accountability from state leadership. Activist-driven narratives, especially regarding immigration and public safety, can obscure critical issues affecting citizen welfare. Disrupting educational practices and ideologies is essential to cultivating future generations capable of engaging meaningfully with history. Racial and social tensions have been exacerbated by political narratives, especially following significant national events over the past several years. There’s a pressing need for candidates like Kendall Qualls to infuse fresh perspectives and drive meaningful changes in traditionally blue states like Minnesota. A call for fiscal responsibility and a reassessment of welfare policies aimed at illegal immigrants is crucial to address rising costs for local residents. Understanding historical context and the identities of our founding figures remains vital for fostering national pride and unity.

Trump's Approval Hits New Low with Independents Ahead of State of the Union. Whistleblower Blasts ICE Training. 4 Years of the Ukraine War.  Women's Hockey Declines Trump Invite.   For decades, Mike Duggan was a Democrat. He ran Detroit, guided the city through bankruptcy, cut crime to 60-year lows, and built 6,000 housing units in one of America's most storied cities. Then he looked at what was happening in Lansing — Republicans and Democrats unable to speak to each other, state budgets arriving three months late, schools opening without funding — and made a decision that's shaking up Michigan politics: he declared his independence. Duggan joins Paul Rieckhoff on Independent Americans for an extended conversation about why he walked away from the party that shaped his career, what it actually takes to run as an independent, and why the latest polling has him in a dead-even three-way race for governor of Michigan — tied with both the leading Democrat and Republican. He talks about the unions that crossed over to endorse him, his decision to build a campaign on house calls rather than party machinery, and why he believes the Democrat and the Republican are the real spoilers in this race — not him. Paul and Mike also go head-to-head on the hardest issues: tariffs devastating Michigan's auto industry, ICE operations in Detroit and across the country, the State of the Union, and how an independent governor deals with a president who has picked fights with governors of both parties. Duggan's answers aren't always what you'd expect — and Paul doesn't let him off the hook. This is what independent politics looks like in real time. Hard choices and hard questions. But if the independent wave hits this fall on Election Day, this race in Michigan will be the forward edge.

With the primaries just around the corner in June, Senator Michael Bennet and Attorney General Phil Weiser are hitting the gubernatorial campaign trail hard. This past weekend, the two leading Democratic candidates joined a forum — put on by Greater Denver Transit, the Denver Bicycle Lobby, and YIMBY Denver — to spar over their positions on everything from Peña Boulevard and rental assistance to allowing apartment buildings to ban dogs. Producer Paul Karolyi was there, and he sits down with host Bree Davies to discuss what he observed from Weiser and Bennet and how the housing and transit crowd reacted.  Paul mentioned this new Denver Post report that DIA officials have “broadened their approach” to their work addressing traffic congestion on Peña Boulevard and will now consider increasing public transit service.
