We are 31 days away from election day and, here in North Dakota, the hottest race in the state probably isn't for the U.S. Senate, or the U.S. House, or even the governor's seat. It is, arguably, Measure 4 which, if passed, would eliminate taxes on property values and order the Legislature to compensate local governments for that loss of revenue at 2024 levels. It's such a hot issue that when Prairie Public recently hosted a debate between U.S. Senate candidates Kevin Cramer and Katrina Christiansen, they asked the candidates about Measure 4, even though that issue really has nothing to do with the federal office they're running for. Aaron Birst joined this episode of Plain Talk to discuss Measure 4, and what's driving both the support for it and opposition to it. Aaron is the executive director of the North Dakota Association of Counties. "The only tax people like is the one somebody else pays," he told Chad Oban and I. Birst isn't arguing that there are no problems with local taxing and spending. "Do we need to have a conversation about how much we spend at the local level? Sure," he said, though he argued that Measure 4 just isn't the right fix. "We can try something different. I'm just not sure we're going to find something better," he said. He also argued that passing Measure 4 could create legal and policy-making chaos that would be with North Dakota for a long time. "If this passes...we're probably going to have a decade of court cases to figure out what this means." Also on this episode, Oban and I discuss the recently-released polling in North Dakota's statewide races, and some intrigue at the North Dakota Industrial Commission.

On Episode 183, multi-time Silicon Valley CEO Jay Larson joined Christopher Lochhead in a dialogue that left many impressions. An executive admired by a lot of people in the marketing sphere, he said some amazing tidbits that until now Christopher looks back on. Today, the host mulls over some of the most resounding words left by the CEO of red-hot company Optimizely—to go ugly early. "In the sage words of Jay Larson, when you have bad news, go ugly early." - Christopher Lochhead Jay Larson - Getting to the Ugly Early This advice is exactly the opposite of what most people would think when they have bad news waiting to be unveiled. Anyone can be guilty of delaying the inevitable, be it a CEO or a politician. When there's bad news and they have to go on TV, they would most probably go on about things that may not be relevant to the real issue. They meander around and try to remind people about how great they are before dropping the bomb. Undermining Yourself When you fall prey to the bad news and don't put it right on the table, you communicate to everybody that you're not on top of it. You fail to be professional, unable to show that you have a grasp of the facts. It doesn't matter whether you are an entrepreneur, a CEO of a company or a leader of any kind. Not dealing with and resolving a bad news upfront mean undercutting your power. Facing the Ugly Head-on Dishing out the good news before the bad is a disservice to both you and your constituents. This doesn't help address the problem at all, and it reflects badly on your leadership skills and ability to manage a business situation. By being honest with the status of your business, you will be braver in fixing the problem, and so will everyone around you. So go ugly early. Listen and download to the episode now!

What exactly is the power of hard work? Why does it always pay to be all about goodness? Jay Larson joins Christopher Lochhead today to share the legendary story of how he went from Sales Representative to CEO slowly but surely. "It was always better to be the number two guy in an A opportunity than the number one guy in a C opportunity." - Jay Larson Three Things We Learned It's important to have the right move at the right time When Chris first asked Jay some scotches ago if he saw himself becoming a CEO anytime in the future, Jay had been convinced that he wouldn't. But now that he's on his second time being one, he finds himself looking back and remembering how he had a great run at sales before eventually becoming the leader that he's meant to be. He wasn't the guy that felt the urgency of becoming one, but with how things have unfolded, he's very fortunate to have made the career move at the most opportune time. Conscious decisions for a successful career Jay took his time priming himself despite the truth that the software business works at a rapid pace. He's always been confronted with choices of doing deals that didn't strike him as terrific even as a CEO or running a sales or field operations for a terrific company as an employee. But his conscious effort to grab any learning opportunity and being patient with his growth has paid off. You need to go high before you can go wide Before he can become a full-fledged CEO, he had to develop the skills and learn the functions needed to run an organization. His many experiences in the field made Jay a lot more willing to test out his mettle and take the next logical step in his career. He took on the role of a leader when he was finally convinced that he was great and capable enough at what he did even when he had to do it at almost fifty. The tech business is a constantly changing world with everyone seemingly caught in a race to reach the top of the ladder. Many tech geniuses start out young, but there are those like Jay who take their time learning the ins and outs of the biz before finally taking the plunge. And for some, it's the perfect way to go.
