So friends, can I ask you a quick question? When you think of Washington, DC, what's the first thing that comes to mind? Politics? The nation's capital? Maybe, a city where somehow we still have taxation without representation?DC has the Congress. It has the executive branch. It has the judiciary. All populated by federal government employees. All public servants. In a very real sense, DC is like the national hub for public service.The person who said that she views DC as a city of service is Kinney Zalesne. And Kinney is now running to be represent the people of DC in Congress. Kinney is running to be DC's delegate to Congress, and I sat down with Kinney to ask her why she wants to represent people of DC in Congress, and why she views DC as a city of service.Kinney Zalesne came to DC in 1995 for what was supposed to be a short stint in the Clinton White House. But she fell in love with the city, and for 30 years has never wanted to live anywhere else. She and her husband Scott have raised four kids here and been active in the community, serving in leadership positions in DC's schools, pools, parks, and nonprofits.DC gave Kinney opportunities to work across government, business, and the nonprofit sector. After serving as a White House Fellow with Vice President Gore, Kinney was Counsel to Attorney General Janet Reno at the US Department of Justice. She later helped lead the Strategy team at Microsoft. She has rolled up her sleeves in our neighborhoods, where she served as President of College Summit, a global-award-winning nonprofit, founded in a basement in Adams Morgan. College Summit helps students from low-income backgrounds go to college. Kinney was also Board Chair of a school in Ward 4 that doubled in enrollment during her tenure. And most recently, Kinney served as Deputy National Finance Chair of the DNC and National Co-Chair of Women for Harris.Of all those roles, Kinney's favorite was being President of College Summit (now called Peer Forward). The organization's mission was to make sure that every student who could make it IN college made it TO college. Kinney built large-scale, diverse, powerful coalitions across the District and then the nation to make sure tens of thousands of local students got the opportunities they deserved. Kinney's skills and experiences are what DC needs now. She will build a broad-based, lasting, nationwide coalition of people to defend DC and ensure we remain a safe, affordable, and healthy place to live.

Don't just listen, call in with your perspective at 303-477-5600 or text to 307-200-8222 Monday - Friday from 3 pm - 6 pm MT. Health & Wellness Wednesday delivers powerful, real-life insight as John Rush dives into two critical health conversations that hit close to home for many listeners. Burn survivor Gail Petrillo (https://www.firstimpressions1.com/), Board Chair of the American Red Cross of Southern Arizona, shares her deeply personal story while spotlighting National Burn Awareness Week. How fast can everyday routines turn dangerous, and do you really know the right way to treat a burn before it becomes life-altering? The conversation then shifts as Thomas Greither, CEO of Flora Health (https://www.florahealth.com/), uncovers how iron deficiency may quietly rob millions of energy and vitality. Could fatigue, hair loss, or constant exhaustion be something more than just aging? Is a new approach to iron absorption changing how people reclaim their energy? Two guests, two life-impacting topics—one hour packed with insights that could change how you protect your family and care for your own health. What warning signs might you be missing right now? Guest Timestamps * Gail Petrillo — 10:01 * Thomas Greither — 29:18 HOUR 2 Hour 2 blends history, politics, and today's cultural flashpoints as John Rush explores leadership lessons from America's founding and how they apply to modern controversies. Author Richard Battle (https://richardbattle.com/) highlights the courage and sacrifice of John Hancock and asks what true civic leadership looks like in times of division. Later, Sunny Kutcher, Executive Director of Young Americans Against Socialism (https://yaas.org), joins the show to unpack recent court decisions allowing ICE enforcement actions to continue in Minnesota. Are protests protecting freedom—or obstructing efforts to combat crime and human trafficking? And are young Americans being equipped with facts or swept up in emotional narratives? From the founding era to today's immigration battles, the hour challenges listeners to examine responsibility, law enforcement realities, and the role of activism in shaping America's future. Are we honoring the principles that built the nation—or drifting away from them? Guest Timestamps * Richard Battle — 1:10 * Sunny Kutcher — 27:52 HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason shifts from global geopolitics to everyday economic concerns, delivering a fast-paced mix of foreign policy insight and financial clarity. Former U.S. Ambassador to Denmark Alan Leventhal explains why Greenland and the Arctic are suddenly center stage in global security. As Arctic routes open and tensions rise, could cooperation with NATO allies prove more powerful than confrontation? Later, financial advisor Scott Garliss, Founder of Bent Pine Capital (https://cscottgarliss.substack.com/), tackles fears of economic collapse and currency decline. Is a market crash really looming—or are long-term investors positioned to benefit as inflation eases and interest rate policy shifts? With discussion ranging from Federal Reserve decisions to global trade and AI-driven productivity gains, the hour asks: are headlines fueling fear while fundamentals quietly improve? From Arctic strategy to Wall Street reality, this hour challenges listeners to separate political noise from economic and geopolitical truth. Alan Leventhal — 1:09 Scott Garliss — 28:01

It's pretty clear from the statistics that there is a huge youth demographic bulge on the continent of Africa. 40% of its population is aged 15 or younger (as of 2021). The population of young people aged 15-24 in Africa is projected to reach 500 million in 2080. But as Prof. Kingsley Moghalu from the African School of Governance said at Harvard University's African Development Conference in April last year, there is no guarantee that this will lead to positive outcomes for individual young people, countries or the continent as a whole. In order to enable all these amazing possibilities education is going to be a key factor in these emerging possibilities and scenarios. There are few researchers, communicators or advocates of education across Africa more brilliant or well-placed than my guest this week to speak to these questions. Dr. Modupe (Mo) Olateju is a fellow with the Center for Universal Education in the Global Economy and Development program at Brookings Institution. She is an international development specialist with expertise in public-private partnership in education with additional research interests in education innovation and foundational learning.

How can neurodiversity become a leadership strength? In this episode of Women of Color Rise, I speak with Nella Garcia Urban, CEO of DSST Public Schools. Nella came from YES Prep Public Schools, Houston, where she spent over 20 years in various roles leading and operating charter schools. Nella is also the Board Chair of LEAL, Latino Educators Advancing Leadership. As a proud Latina and neurodiverse leader, Nella shares how embracing her identity—and being open about her needs—has made her a stronger and more authentic leader. What once felt like a challenge became her power: seeing the world differently, asking questions others might not, and showing up fully as herself in every space. She shares lessons for rising leaders: •Celebrate neurodiversity. What sets you apart can be your greatest strength. •Ask for what you need. Self-advocacy is essential to thriving in leadership. •Model authenticity—unapologetically. By showing up as your true self, you give permission for other adults and kids to do the same. Nella's story shows that when we embrace neurodiversity, advocate for ourselves, and lead with authenticity, we not only rise—but create a culture where others can rise too.

Lori sheds light on the dramatic decline in state arts funding—from $4.5 million in 2001 to just $1.8 million today—ranking Kentucky 45th in the nation and second lowest in the South for per capita arts allocation. Together, Lori and Kate explore the challenges of uniting the state's diverse creative communities, the economic impact of the arts sector, and the ways arts organizations serve broader community needs, from mental health to addiction recovery and veteran support.

Kristi Henderson invented telehealth at the University of Mississippi Medical Center decades before anyone thought healthcare needed it. While her colleagues were optimizing traditional clinic workflows, Kristi was asking a different question: What if geography didn't dictate healthcare access? By the time the pandemic forced everyone else to figure out virtual care overnight, she'd already spent two decades perfecting it. What makes her approach distinctive isn't just her track record at Amazon, Ascension, and Optum. It's that she worked every level of the healthcare system for 24 years before reaching the C-suite. She understands frontline friction because she lived it. At Amazon, Kristi discovered a framework that changed everything: one-way doors versus two-way doors. Some decisions are irreversible and demand precision. Others are experiments where failure means pivoting fast. That distinction became her playbook for tackling problems most leaders won't touch. But her most counterintuitive move? When she became CEO of Confluent Health, her first hire wasn't a CFO or COO. It was a leader for internal communications. Because brilliant transformation plans fail without deliberate stakeholder engagement. Change happens at the speed of trust. Now Kristi is betting on something that sounds almost naively optimistic: that AI will finally give clinicians their time back by eliminating friction, not replacing human connection. She uses AI daily as her "sidekick" and is building an organization where technology supercharges what only humans can do. Key Takeaways: Why Kristi kept raising her hand for jobs no one else wanted and how taking the hardest assignments became her competitive advantage The Amazon framework that changed everything: one-way doors versus two-way doors, and how to know which type of decision you're making What "change happens at the speed of trust" actually means in practice when you're transforming organizations Kristi's "reverse innovation" approach: why bottoms-up transformation consistently outperforms top-down mandates The counterintuitive first hire Kristi made as CEO, and why communication infrastructure matters more than most leaders realize How to handle naysayers strategically instead of avoiding them or trying to convince them Why Kristi believes the workforce crisis isn't permanent if leaders focus on the right problem The specific ways Kristi uses AI daily as a CEO, and why she sees it as the key to bringing joy back to clinical practice About the Guest Kristi Henderson, DNP, is CEO of Confluent Health, a family of physical therapy and occupational therapy companies. She spent the first 24 years of her career as a practicing nurse practitioner before pioneering telehealth at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, long before the pandemic made it mainstream. Kristi has since led digital transformation at Ascension Health, built clinical operations for Amazon Care, and served as CEO of Optum Everycare. She's Board Chair of the American Telemedicine Association and affiliate faculty at Dell Medical School and the University of Washington School of Nursing. Her career has been defined by raising her hand for challenges others declined and building tech-enabled care models that improve outcomes while reducing clinician burden.

How can you use your pet care business to make a bigger impact? Cheyenne Williams returns to share how community involvement has transformed her life and her business. From leading suicide prevention walks to supporting foster care initiatives, Cheyenne explains how giving back is not just about writing checks—it's about connection, purpose, and passion. She shares the challenges of balancing business demands with emotional nonprofit work, and how boundaries and clarity of purpose keep her grounded. This conversation is a powerful reminder that we were whole people before our businesses, and we'll be whole people long after. Main topics: Volunteering through your pet business Suicide prevention advocacy Building client relationships through shared values Balancing burnout and service Setting boundaries with community involvement Main takeaway: "What is the point of having a business without giving back?" As pet sitters and dog walkers, we're already deeply connected to our communities—but what if we went a step further? Giving back doesn't always mean writing a big check. It can look like sponsoring a school event, volunteering with a local rescue, or using your newsletter to highlight important causes. When we give back, we're not just running a business—we're becoming part of something bigger. And the ripple effect is real: stronger client relationships, deeper personal fulfillment, and a lasting impact beyond the leash. What's one way your business is giving back this season? About our guest: Cheyenne Williams is a dynamic entrepreneur, dedicated wife, and proud mom of two incredible daughters. As the owner of Shiney Day Specialized Pet Care, she leads a multi-award-winning business, most recently honored with the SRQ Best Of Bronze Award for 2025. Cheyenne is also a devoted pet mom to a lively household that includes three dogs, four cats, and a hedgehog. With a degree in Veterinary Nursing, Cheyenne's expertise and compassion shine through in both her professional and personal life. She was recognized with the prestigious Women That Roar Award in 2024 for her leadership and impact in the community. Beyond her business, Cheyenne serves as Board Chair for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and plays a key role as Walk Chair for three of their major events, attends legislative meetings in Washington DC and attends the annual Leadership Conference. She is also PTO President for her daughter's K–8 charter school, and a passionate advocate for vulnerable communities through her work with Guard Against Trafficking (where she is a pending board member), Foster the Family Florida as a community partner, and serves on the Fundraising Committee for Satchel's Last Resort. Cheyenne's life is a testament to compassion, advocacy, and service—both in the lives of animals and the people in her community.

“Delivering a baby one day and holding a patient's hand at the end of life literally the next day...that continuity is very powerful,” says Dr. Jen Brull, board chair of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP). And as she points out, that continuity also builds trust with patients, an increasingly valuable commodity when faith in medicine and science is declining. As you might expect given her role, Dr. Brull believes strengthening family medicine is the key to improving health and healthcare. Exactly how to do that is at the heart of her conversation with host Lindsey Smith on this episode of Raise the Line, which covers ideas for payment reform, reducing administrative burdens, and stronger support for physician well-being. And with a projected shortage of nearly forty thousand primary care physicians, Dr. Brull also shares details on AAFP's “Be There First” initiative which is designed to attract service-minded medical students – whom she describes as family physicians at heart -- early in their educational journey. “I have great hope that increasing the number of these service-first medical students will fill part of this gap.”Tune-in for an informative look at a cornerstone of the healthcare system and what it means to communities of all sizes throughout the nation.
