Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast. On today's episode, Sen. Shawn Still joins us to help us pay our respects to Bruce Thompson, Georgia's Labor Commissioner, who passed away on November 24th at the age of 59. Known for his tireless dedication to public service, Thompson's career was marked by a passion for empowering Georgians through innovative labor policies and economic opportunity. Thompson built a legacy as a successful entrepreneur and small business owner, excelling in the insurance and financial services industries. His business acumen laid the foundation for his public service, as he sought to improve the lives of Georgia's workers and employers alike. Thompson was first elected to the Georgia State Senate in 2013, representing the 14th District, where he served for a decade before being elected Labor Commissioner in 2022. During his tenure, he championed efforts to modernize the Georgia Department of Labor, streamline unemployment services, and promote workforce training programs to address the evolving needs of the state's economy. Beyond his professional achievements, Thompson was a devoted family man and community leader, deeply involved in civic and charitable initiatives. He is survived by his wife, Becky, his children, Faith and Max, his adopted father, Dr. Austin Flint, his brother, Jason Sluggett, and his sister, Tonya Bruce. His legacy of service, innovation, and compassion will long be remembered by those whose lives he touched.

To listen to Part 1, click here.  The second part of this ICYMI series features two lineworkers-turned-inventors: Bruce Thompson of Effective Safety Products, who invented the StepUp to allow lineworkers to improve pole positioning and Tim Barat of Gridware, who worked with UC-Berkeley alums to invent the Gridscope to monitor the grid for faults and wildfires. To read the full story, visit the T&D World website. 

A lot transpired over the Thanksgiving holiday. Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr slipped in the announcement that he's running for Governor. Strategists Tharon Johnson and Brian Robinson, along with host Lisa Rayam, discuss the strategic timing of his announcement.  Plus, will this news mobilize the Democratic Party and dredge-up familiar names like Stacey Abrams? Plus, the presidential pardon fallout involving Hunter Biden. The team also pays tribute to the late Bruce Thompson, Georgia's former Department of Labor Commissioner, who lost his battle with pancreatic cancer. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the near future, look for Part 2, which will feature Bruce Thompson, a retired SCE foreman and owner of Effective Safety Products, who created the StepUp to improve work positioning on poles; and Tim Barat, a lineworker turned inventor and CEO who is helping utilities to monitor their systems for faults and wildfires through his company, Gridware.

In today's episode, we're joined by Bruce Thompson, a retired U.S. Marine veteran. Bruce knows firsthand how challenging the transition process can be. It took him nearly a year to find his footing and purpose, but along the way, he learned the importance of having mentors, meaningful conversations, and trusted resources to support each step. Now, as a mentor, advocate, and connector, Bruce is dedicated to helping others make their journey smoother, offering insights that can inspire veterans to embrace their new paths with confidence and clarity.

On this week's episode, host Tim Boyum pulls back the curtain on the world of campaign fundraising. Democratic fundraiser and Parker Poe partner Bruce Thompson joins Tim to consider the ins and outs of a multi-billion dollar industry full of intrigue, controversy and misconceptions. Thompson was part of Hillary Clinton's national fundraising committee and has played a prominent role in North Carolina campaigns for decades. He explains the common misconceptions surrounding fundraising and the thought that money drives candidate decision making. He added that a big downside to fundraising isn't the amount of money, but the lack of transparency of who is donating.

That's when our Declaration of Independence was ratified by the Second Continental Congress establishing the United States of America as an independent country. The fight against tyranny is never complete. That was the lesson of January 6th in our country when a failed former president tried to usurp control of our country. Fortunately, he was defeated by law - abiding, just Americans. The threat is still here. So this week, we're celebrating Independence Day with Celtic music. The Celts also know what it means to be oppressed by tyrants. We have a whole slew of songs on the topic. Today, we're gonna share a small sampling of songs of independence and freedom by Celtic musicians. It's also officially Plastic Free July.

Bruce Thompson, a retired journeyman lineworker, has worked for Southern California Edison and line contractors nationwide. After serving as a line foreman and training crew foreman, he invented a new product called the Step-Up to help fellow lineworkers to get in proper positioning when working on poles.  During this episode, he shares his story about going to work with his dad, a lineworker, in Florida; working across the country in the line trade; training the next generation of lineworkers; and inventing a product to help lineworkers to improve safety and efficiency in the field. 

What a story this is! Born into an intensely homophobic and misogynist cult, Joey Green comes to the realization that she is a lesbian – and to make a bad situation worse, her father is an outspoken anti-gay activist. Joey was on episode 93 as anonymous and came back as herself to fill in many parts of her story she wasn't able to fill in before. One of those stories along with many others is alcohol in water bottles at school! Growing up in the isolationist Plymouth Brethren Christian Church cult, where women are treated as inferiors and homosexuality is actively hated, a young girl overcomes all these barriers to become the happy and confident non-binary personality that we see and hear on this podcast – a sparkling witness to the transformation that takes place when a person breaks free and can live their true identity. We then take a look at Myles and Lee Admiraal, prominent and extremely wealthy PBCC business owners who have a dark history of homophobic hatred and harassment, leading to a damning court case in Montreal. This revealing court case really shows how these children take the leaders hatred and then act them out in society. Ben discusses a horrifying field trip that also ended in physical hatred towards the LGBTQ community. To finish off, we have Bruce Thompson' performing his latest song “Top of the Tree” a reflection on the wealth and power of the Exclusive Brethren's “Man of God”. Bruce's music is really resonating and bringing solace to many ex-members. All links to articles, court cases and Bruce's music in the description below.

Today's bonus episode is my sit-down conversation with State Labor Commissioner Bruce Thompson. In a press release on Thursday, August 13, 2023, Thompson announced an internal investigation uncovered $105,170,178.20 in unremitted funds that began accumulating in fiscal year 2014 during the tenure of former Labor Commissioner Mark Butler. These funds were a combination of Administrative Assessment fees ($20,829,614.53), Employer Penalties ($63,139, 053.96), and Interest fees ($21,201,509.71) that were never remitted to the Georgia State Treasury. As required by law, Labor Commissioner Bruce Thompson authorized the full transfer of these funds, which totaled $105,170,178.20, to the treasury on August 3, 2023. Commissioner Bruce Thompson immediately began a sweeping overhaul of the department after assuming office in January 2023, identifying deficiencies and weaknesses that tarnished the agency's reputation. Part of this initiative included a comprehensive exploration of GDOL's fraud and unemployment insurance system vulnerabilities aimed at rebuilding confidence and ushering in a new era of credibility at the department. This investigation led to the discovery of millions in unremitted funds, further underscoring Commissioner Thompson's commitment to investigating and resolving these inefficiencies – leaving no room for fraud or deceitful activity. Thursday's landmark announcement marks a significant step toward restoring accountability and transparency at the Georgia Department of Labor under the leadership of Commissioner Bruce Thompson. The ongoing investigation into the alleged fraudulent activities remains exhaustive as state and federal authorities work to address the implications associated with these findings. Updates will be provided as new developments unfold. Take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

CTL Script/ Top Stories of August 12 Saturday Publish Date: Aug. 11 Friday   Henssler :15 From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast    Today is Saturday, August 12th, and happy 84th birthday to actor George Hamilton ***Hayes*** I'm Brian Giffin and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia Freedom Middle School students placed on lockdown after false 911 call Audit finds more than $105M in unremitted funds at state labor department And Cities set qualifying dates for city council and mayoral seats     We'll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you're looking for Community news we encourage you to listen and subscribe!    Commercial:  CU of GA   Story 1. 911   Freedom Middle School experienced a temporary lockdown due to a false 911 call reporting a student's serious injury. The Cherokee County School District confirmed that the call was incorrect and stated that safety is a priority. During the lockdown, the school's interior and exterior doors were locked, and students remained in their classrooms. The district assured families that they take safety threats seriously and encourage reporting through their Vector Alert system, which accepts reports anonymously. The incident led to a delay in bus dismissal and a Code Yellow lockdown for the Liberty Elementary After School Program.                                                   ....……… Read more on this story at tribuneledgernews.com   STORY 2: audit   An internal audit by the Georgia Department of Labor (GDOL) revealed that over $105 million in penalties, fees, and assessments collected over the past decade were withheld from the state treasury. The funds, relating to administrative fees, interest fees, and employer penalties, were transferred to the treasury as required by law. These funds had been withheld during the tenure of former Labor Commissioner Mark Butler. The audit, dated August 4, does not accuse the GDOL of fraudulent activity but points to a legal dispute over the agency's right to retain the money. The audit emphasized the importance of transparency and accountability. State and federal agencies are involved in an ongoing investigation into the matter. The current Labor Commissioner, Bruce Thompson, aims to restore transparency and cooperation within the agency.   Story 3: dates   Cherokee County cities have announced qualifying dates for the upcoming municipal elections on November 7. Canton, Woodstock, and Waleska are among the cities with seats set to expire. In Canton, positions for council seats in multiple wards and the mayoral seat are expiring. Qualifying will be held at Canton City Hall from August 21 to August 23, with fees based on a percentage of the position's annual salary. In Woodstock, council seats in several wards are expiring. Qualifying will take place at the Woodstock Annex from August 21 to August 23, with a set fee for council qualification. In Waleska, city council and mayoral seats will be up for election, with qualifying having already taken place at City Hall.   We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Wilson Top Venture Impacting Veterans Award by Disabled American Veterans (DAV). She received the award, along with a $10,000 prize, during the 2023 DAV and Auxiliary National Convention. Roeger, a Marine veteran herself, co-owns the restaurant with her husband, Ralph Roeger. Their establishment has provided a supportive space for veterans to share their stories while contributing to the local economy. The award has spurred them to open their first franchise location, Rally Point Grille, aiming to offer veterans a pathway to restaurant ownership.   Story 5: library   Reinhardt University's Hill Freeman Library and Spruill Learning Center has appointed Shannon Gibson as its new director of library services. Previously overseeing the Acworth campus library at Chattahoochee Technical College, Gibson aims to support both students and faculty, emphasizing the value of the library's resources, both physical and online. With a background of over seven years as a librarian at the Salvation Army Training College in Atlanta, Gibson is excited to contribute to Reinhardt's positive environment and plans to modernize research methods and refine the collection. She aims to ensure the library remains a vital resource for the university community's needs.   Story 6: pta   Three Cherokee County School District schools – Clark Creek Elementary School STEM Academy, Free Home Elementary School, and Mill Creek Middle School – have been honored with the National PTA School of Excellence award. This recognition highlights successful collaborations between local PTAs and schools to enhance family engagement and support students. These schools are among only 302 nationwide and 29 in Georgia to receive this two-year title. The award emphasizes the crucial role of parent engagement in student success. The schools' efforts over the past year, driven by PTAs and school leadership, have earned them this prestigious recognition.   Back with more after this   Commercial: Dayco – Ingles 7 - Heller Story 7: Tort   Georgia Governor Brian Kemp announced his intention to advocate for tort reform in the upcoming session of the General Assembly. Speaking at the Georgia Chamber of Commerce's annual Congressional Luncheon, Kemp highlighted the need to address laws that facilitate frivolous lawsuits against businesses in the state, leading to increased insurance costs and hindering job creation. While proponents, including insurance companies and business groups, have supported tort reform for years, opponents, such as trial lawyers and legislative Democrats, argue that proposed legislation favors insurers over victims of accidents and malpractice. Kemp plans to work with lawmakers to reduce insurance premiums and create a fairer legal environment in the 2024 legislative session.   Story 8:  Waters   The Kansas City Royals dominated the Boston Red Sox with a 9-3 victory at Fenway Park. The Royals' offense was strong, collecting 15 hits, including home runs from Etowah Alum Drew Waters, MJ Melendez, and Michael Massey. Waters went 3 for 5 with two RBIs, and several Royals players recorded multiple hits. Starting pitcher Brady Singer threw 6 2/3 innings, allowing three runs and five hits while striking out the Red Sox batters. Adam Duvall hit a solo home run for the Red Sox, but their offense was relatively quiet. The Royals improved their season record to 37-78, with Waters' notable performance including a two-run homer. Water started slowly this season and battled some nagging injuries, but has heated up of late.   Story 9:  Ranked   Two-time defending national champions, the Georgia Bulldogs, have secured the top spot in the 2023 preseason coaches poll, receiving 61 out of 66 first-place votes. The Bulldogs are set to kick off their season against Tennessee-Martin. Michigan ranks second, its highest preseason ranking in the coaches poll's history. Alabama takes the third spot, followed by Ohio State at fourth. LSU claims the fifth position, making the SEC responsible for three of the top five slots. The Big Ten has three teams in the top 10, with a total of four in the top 25. The Pac-12 also has representation in the poll with five teams.   We'll have closing comments after this   Elon- Henssler 60   Thanks again for listening to today's Cherokee Tribune Ledger podcast. .

On this episode of the Lessons Learned for Vets podcast, we have the privilege of speaking with Bruce Thompson. In the military transition space, Bruce is one of the most prolific veteran advocates and volunteers. Retiring from the Marine Corps 7 years ago, Bruce is now the Executive Director of The ASCEND Collective, the nonprofit arm of Talents ASCEND. This organization not only works with underserved communities to help them become employment ready, but it also partners with employers to educate them on the benefits of hiring these individuals. As an advocate for mental health awareness, he is open with his own struggles. Tune in to hear how Bruce has found success in an unconventional post military career.Bruce Thompson's retirement came earlier than he had expected due to medical challenges. Having his identity wrapped up in the uniform and his physical fitness, the transition did not come easy. He was no longer an active duty marine or the stellar athlete that he once was. Bruce left his first job after just 4 weeks because he wasn't mentally prepared for life outside of the military. For the next 6 weeks, Bruce did not leave the house and fell into a depression. With the help and support of his wife, he applied for 3 positions in the transition space and sought help for his PTSD, depression and anxiety. Shortly thereafter, he accepted a teaching position as an employment workshop facilitator for the Department of Labor. Volunteerism has been a very important part of Bruce's career path and personal growth. He believes that strategic volunteering can be a segue to employment opportunities. Volunteering strengthens your ties to the community and is a way to give back. It also has a positive impact on your emotional well-being. Most of Bruce's employment opportunities post military came about through networking. He credits LinkedIn for his networking success and encourages people to learn how to strategically build a profile to meet their goals. The first question a person needs to ask themself is, “What story do I want to tell through LinkedIn?” Next, a person needs to think through what kind of posted content is best to support their story. Networking events, whether in-person or virtual, should support one's goals. People need to understand who they are, where they are and where they would like to be to make the best decisions. Bruce Thompson is open about his battle with PTSD, anxiety and depression. After working with three or four counselors through the VA, he found one that he feels comfortable sharing his struggles. Bruce wants to blow the door off the stigma surrounding mental health. There are resources on top of resources, but they are only effective if the person is willing to ask for help. People want to be heard and people want to know that someone cares. Subscribe to our YouTube channel at https://tinyurl.com/llforvets22.

Successfully transitioning from the military to civilian life is a journey. It also takes a lot of conscious effort, hard conversations, and active opportunities to reconnect with the military community.Bruce Thompson is a Retired Marine Corps Master Sergeant who spent his 23 years of service working as a human resource manager, logistics manager, communication electronics technician, and in maintenance management, where he oversaw all communication electronics maintenance for an organization of over 1,000 employees spread across 7 companies.Today he helps transitioning service members, veterans, and military spouses with their military-to-civilian transition planning, execution, and employment search. He works with individuals locally, in Florida, and across the globe. His goal is to engage with leaders to have uncomfortable conversations so they can build trust and respect.In this interview, Bruce speaks with host Mary Kate Soliva about:• Why it is absolutely critical for Veterans to preserve that sense of camaraderie that they benefitted from while they were in the military• The importance of communication with and between family members during the process of transitioning out of the military• What it is about his current work that makes him get up in the morningAdditional Links & Resources:Learn more about Veteran Voices here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/veteran-voicesSubscribe to Veteran Voices and other Supply Chain Now programs here: https://supplychainnow.com/subscribeLearn more the Guam Human Rights Initiative: https://www.guamhri.org/Learn more about the Military Women's Collective: https://www.militarywomenscollective.org/This episode was hosted by Mary Kate Soliva.

Today's bonus episode is my sit-down conversation with Georgia State Labor Commissioner Bruce Thompson. Bruce has been a long-time, successful businessman and entrepreneur who decided to get into local politics years ago. As a state senator for Georgia during the Covid outbreak, he found many of his constituents were reaching out to address problems and concerns with the DOL. After working to look for a possible candidate, it seemed he was ignoring his own calling to run for that office. Having knowledge of both private industry and the public sector, made him a unique candidate for the position. It was a pleasure to spend time with Bruce as he recounts his past experiences, his current challenges and his future goals. He truly wants to transform the department to make it more efficient, more secure and more customer-focus driven. He is creating a culture of openness and cooperation, where value is placed on the individual and on the mission of the Department of Labor. Thompson shares a few stories from his first days in the role to where he is now at the midway point of his first 100 days in office. He plans to check back with us and the people of Georgia soon after for a status check. He knows he has multiple priorities, each equal to the other, which provides it's own challenges. Ideally, if he can successfully change the culture within the DOL, he believes they will become one of the most efficient and production Department's of Labor in the nation.

Many people have different journeys when starting a business. Sometimes we're lucky and the first business that we have, the business is a success. Sometimes though, these ventures fail but the lessons we learn can be quite beneficial. That is exactly the story of what happened with my guest, Bruce Thompson from Nerra. As Bruce said, "...I did another startup before this start up. So I learned a lot from the first startup, which failed from a commercial point of view. But it gave me a lot of learning going into this one, and I had a huge amount of valuable experience from the first one...the problem was that I was essentially acting as a middleman, and I wasn't really developing value for myself. So that was a fundamental learning that I got from that experience, which I definitely paid attention to with the next startup... "I think a lot of this stuff kind of has to be experiential. You have to kind of learn from your mistakes. I think prior to the first one, I would have spent a fair bit of time thinking, what am I going to do? But until you've had the experience of a startup, I think it's perhaps a confidence thing. You don't really know what you might be able to achieve. So perhaps it limits your thinking in terms of what you're prepared to have a go at. So going into the next startup, I didn't really hesitate. I just chose something that I thought would be really interesting and just went for that. So I don't know. I mean, maybe it's a case of different strokes for different folks, and perhaps I'm sure it also depends on the sort of support that you have around you. If you're in your first year at University and you meet a bunch of guys who have very like-minded thinking around some specific opportunity that you identify, then I think that's a lot easier. You've got a lot more skills to leverage and probably a whole infrastructure of support from the University to support you. "But if you're going out on your own and you haven't really had a lot of experience in the field that you're embarking upon, which I've never had, I'm quite adventurous in that respect, then things are quite challenging. But having said that, I think it's not necessarily a disadvantage to have no experience in the field that you're looking to pursue, because I think you can have very blinked thinking if you've sort of had a career in a specific field. And that can be limiting." Listen in and see how Bruce used lessons that he learned from his first venture to help him through the journey as he started working with the eBike industry and how having the right mentors and supporters in his corner along with an incubator program were a great benefit to his journey. About Bruce: Bruce Thompson grew up on a farm in a sparsely populated and beautiful region of NZ... as he says, "it was an idyllic childhood." He dropped out of University after four years of switching majors. He then began a career in Australia's offshore oil & gas industry; that took him around the world. Bruce's current goal is to see his start-up, Nerra, reach fruition and achieve commercial success. With Nerra, Bruce is aiming to re-think ebikes through a more sustainable and holistic approach. Bruce once received a Police Certificate Of Appreciation for tackling an offender who was smashing shop windows. As a start-up founder, Bruce doesn't have much free time, but he enjoys music, outdoors, reading, technology, rock climbing, mountain biking, and meditation.
