I am thrilled to have Ann Korchak, the Board President of the Small Property Owners of New York, or SPONY. What exactly is SPONY? They are a non-profit, all-volunteer advocacy and education organization founded in 1984. It represents small housing providers—primarily independent, family-owned landlords and multi-generational businesses in New York City (and, to some extent, statewide)—who own and manage smaller multifamily buildings (often with an average of around 11 units per member, many of whom live in or alongside their properties). In short, SPONY positions itself as the voice for the "little guy" in NYC's housing ecosystem: small-scale landlords who provide a significant portion of the city's rental stock but face disproportionate burdens from overregulation, high costs, and policies that favor larger entities or tenants over owners without adequate protections. Anna has become a powerful voice in Albany and at City Hall—testifying on issues like tax liens, good cause eviction, rent guidelines, and policies like COPA —always pushing for balanced, sustainable solutions that support both owners and tenants without driving small providers out of business. She's been featured in outlets like the New York Post, The Real Deal, the NYT, and at various industry events, as recently as 72 hours ago.

The Great Simplification with Nate Hagens ✓ Claim : Read the notes at at podcastnotes.org. Don't forget to subscribe for free to our newsletter, the top 10 ideas of the week, every Monday --------- With grocery prices skyrocketing and supply chain disruptions becoming more frequent, the average person has more and more incentive to get involved in growing their own food – but how does one even get started? For most people, the time, money, knowledge, and land remain out of reach in order to learn even the basics of agriculture. What kind of options are available for individuals who want to reclaim their food sovereignty – and subsequently become more connected with the Earth and like-minded people? In this episode, Nate is joined by biologist and farmer Jason Bradford, to discuss his 'Farming Club,' which offers hands-on learning for ecologically based agriculture, where members also get to take home food and build a relationship with the land. Jason explains why industrial agriculture, optimized for financial returns and machine efficiency while ignoring ecological costs, makes it almost impossible to become a successful small-scale farmer in today's economy. The Farming Club's model provides a way for people to maintain their jobs while building the knowledge, skills, and community connections needed for a lower-throughput future. How could reinvigorating farming culture provide an avenue to real skills and purpose to the next generation, especially for young men? How could the farming club model be replicated across the country, sparking small rural movements everywhere? And how could thousands of ideas and initiatives like these act as safety nets for individuals and communities as we transition to a more simplified society? (Conversation recorded on December 4th, 2025) About Jason Bradford: Jason co-manages a Community Supported Agriculture program with the Organic Growers Club at Oregon State University, where he practices land stewardship methods and cultivates community rooted in ecologically-based agricultural practices. Prior to his switch to agriculture, he was a research biologist studying evolution, ecology, and global change. Additionally, Jason has been affiliated with the Post Carbon Institute since 2004, first as a Fellow and then as Board President. He is currently a co-host of the Crazy Town podcast, as well as a writer for Resilience.org. Additionally, in 2019, he authored The Future is Rural: Food System Adaptations to the Great Simplification.

Host Jeremy C. Park interviews Rick Short, Board President of Box 55 Association, a nonprofit organization formed in 1952 with the mission "to serve Nashville Heroes with on scene hydration, nutrition, and body temperature regulation." During the interview, Rick explains the history of the association, which was established by Nashville Fire Department Chief John Ragsdale and Mayor Ben West. The organization has been serving the community since its inception and continues to support firefighters and first responders.First Responder Support Services - Rick explains that the organization supports first responders, particularly firefighters, by providing essential services mandated by federal law to reduce health risks associated with their work. They operate in Davidson County, serving 39 fire stations with two custom response vehicles, making around 400 responses annually. The vehicles are equipped with hydration supplies and warming beverages to help firefighters recover from stressful situations.Environmental Control and Emergency Services - Rick explained their environmental control equipment, including misting fans and heaters for extreme weather conditions in Tennessee. He describes their emergency response services, which include supporting various first responders like the Metro Nashville Police Department and Tennessee Highway Patrol, with approximately 400 responses in 2025.Volunteer-Powered - Box 55 Association has approximately 40 volunteer members who are available 24/7 to respond to emergencies via text, paging, and two-way radios on fire department frequencies. The first-line vehicle is staffed around the clock, and additional members respond in their personal vehicles to assist at the scene. Incidents can last anywhere from 30 minutes to multiple days, with an average duration of about two hours, though the longest response was 14.5 days during the Christmas Day bombing in December 2020.Support Strategies - Rick explains that he and his team receive constant positive feedback from first responders and community agencies. He emphasizes the importance of their work in supporting first responders during emergencies, including reducing physiological and psychological stress. Rick also describes their partnership with the National Fire Department EMS team, who provide medical support on scene. Jeremy asks how the community can support their efforts, and Rick suggests volunteerism and financial donations as ways for people to get involved.Volunteer Requirements and Financial Independence - Rick explains that volunteers for their organization just need to be physically capable and available to respond to calls, with training provided internally. He emphasizes that while a driver's license is required, no specialized license is needed, and senior volunteers are available to mentor others. Rick also discusses their financial independence as a 501c3, noting they rely on donations from various sources including unions and individuals, with significant expenses for maintaining two trucks and feeding crews during long operations.Community Support for First Responders - Rick discusses the challenges faced by first responders in the community, highlighting the breadth of incidents and the heroism displayed by firefighters, police officers, and EMS personnel. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the difficult situations they face and the need for community support to help them perform their duties effectively. Rick also stresses that while donations and support are crucial, they ultimately benefit the individuals on the front lines who risk their lives to save others. Rick encourages viewers and listeners to visit their website, Box55.org, to learn more about their work and get involved through volunteering or donating.Visit https://box55.org to learn more and to get involved with Box 55 Association.https://www.facebook.com/box55association/?ref=br_rs

How Christ and His Word shaped my convictions and led me to IABC Jeff Christianson's Story with IABC — Why Christ and His Word Are Enough Many people know the International Association of Biblical Counselors (IABC), but fewer know the personal story behind how I came to love and serve this ministry. As the current Board President and Executive Director, I wanted to take a moment to share a bit of my journey — not to spotlight myself, but to invite a conversation with those who care deeply about Christ-centered, Scripture-sufficient soul care. My introduction to biblical counseling began in the mid-1990s during Bible college. I took an elective course called Counseling God's Way taught by Bob Hoekstra. That class immediately resonated with me because it wasn't counseling as the world defines it — it was discipleship. It was the Word of God applied to the heart, anchored in the sufficiency of Christ. From there, I was shaped by ministries like the Biblical Counseling Foundation and resources such as the Self-Confrontation Manual, which challenged me to examine my life in light of Scripture (2 Corinthians 13:5). Over time, I became familiar with the broader biblical counseling movement, including organizations like NANC (now ACBC), and I began to see distinct streams developing. What drew me toward IABC was its pastoral warmth, its local-church rootedness, and its unwavering commitment to the truth that Jesus Christ is the Wonderful Counselor (Isaiah 9:6) and that His Word is enough to equip God's people for life and godliness. This special podcast episode shares that story — how the Lord grew my convictions, clarified my calling, and led me into this lane of ministry. If you've ever wondered where IABC fits historically, or if you share a desire to "return to the Word," I invite you to listen and join the conversation. "Preach the word… fulfill your ministry." (2 Timothy 4:2–5)

As the new year begins, many of us start thinking about fresh starts. This episode of Career Can Do leans into what renewal actually looks like. Mary Ann is joined by Monnica Rose, Board President of Women of Visionary Influence, for a warm, thoughtful conversation about purpose, connection, and growing with intention rather than pressure. Monnica talks about how a true fresh start is not about becoming a brand-new version of yourself. It is about giving yourself space to grow, building confidence, and being deliberate about your personal development. She shares how WOVI supports that process by creating a place where women can pause, reflect, and learn from one another through mentoring, which she describes as the heartbeat of the organization. A big theme throughout the episode is connection. Monnica explains that renewed purpose is almost always rooted in relationships and community, reminding us that “no one does life alone.” Whether it is learning from someone who has already walked the path or being brave enough to ask for support, those connections help purpose take root and keep it moving forward. They also dive into career growth and what it really takes to stand out. Monnica encourages women to stop chasing perfection and instead focus on being visible, speaking up, and showing up as their authentic selves. Distinction, she says, comes from service and honesty, not from getting everything exactly right.

Thinking of running for school board? In this episode of Women of Color Rise, I speak with Judith Cruz, Former Board President, Houston Independent School District. Judith has over twenty-five years of experience as an educator, non-profit leader, and volunteer in public schools. Judith shares her path to school board leadership—and what it really takes to serve well. Know your why – Serving on a school board is a powerful way to create change, but it's not easy. It's unpaid, political, and full of competing priorities. Judith reminds us that while advancing student outcomes is essential, sometimes the most urgent fight is preventing students from falling further behind. Be ready to work across differences – Even among seemingly aligned colleagues, interpersonal dynamics and politics can derail progress. Judith shares how she built trust and found common ground—internally within the board and externally with the broader community. Don't compromise your values – The toughest moments came when Judith had to vote against the wishes of those who helped her get elected. Her advice: stay grounded in your values and make decisions based on what's best for all kids—not just the loudest voices. Go grassroots or go home – To win her campaign, Judith knocked on 3,500 doors in six months, seven days a week. Her message: people matter. Conversations matter. That's how trust—and leadership—is built. Do your homework – Before running, Judith suggests attending civic and board meetings, asking questions, and learning how the system really works. Because once you're in, the work is real—and it's relentless. Thank you, Judith, for sharing your inspirational and powerful journey.
