In this episode, the Women on the Move podcast host Sam Saperstein talks with Jennifer Openshaw, CEO and Founder of Girls With Impact, an online business education platform for young women. Jennifer shares how her diverse experiences across Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and Main Street have shaped her leadership style and passion for empowering the next generation of women leaders.   Inspired to Empower Jennifer was raised by a  single mother who worked two jobs to support her family. By age 7, she was already taking on caregiving responsibilities at home,  babysitting her siblings until midnight. At 12, she realized she wanted to achieve financial mobility. Starting as a motel maid at 14, she put herself through college, learning from role models outside her family about succeeding in business.   Before founding Girls with Impact, Jennifer worked in politics, asset management, and Silicon Valley. She served as press secretary to Kathleen Brown, helped her win the California State Treasurer office, and became a leader in financial education, later authoring her books  "The Socially Savvy Advisor" and "The Millionaire Zone."   Success Story At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Jennifer was inspired to focus on training the next generation of women leaders. She envisioned a "mini MBA" program to equip young women with essential skills and confidence. This vison led her to create Girls With Impact, offering small live online classes based on Harvard Business School concepts. Her goal was to reach young women who might not have access to in-person meetings and level the playing field for women of all backgrounds. Girls With Impact has empowered 16,000 young women so far. Jennifer believes the business world is eager for women at all levels, and Girls With Impact fills a crucial gap by providing ready talent from day one.

April 7, 2021 — Joe Louis Wildman, a longtime union organizer and Democratic activist, died Sunday, not long after retiring. He was the Secretary Treasurer of the North Bay Labor Council, an SEIU representative, and a business agent with operating Engineers Local #3. He was also Treasurer for the Inland Mendocino Democratic Club, and the owner of the Sprinter van that served as the club’s mobile headquarters during the pandemic. Raul Gardeia is an organizer with SEIU Local 2015. He lost a valuable mentor, one who was steeped in the dynamics of rural politics and encouraged him to go to grad school to get a degree from the University of Massachusetts in union activism. “He was an incredible resource, someone full of so much knowledge and history of county politics, and the history of the Mendocino County labor movement. It’s not easy to find a lot of the information unless you find someone who lived it,” Gardenia says. “Joe was someone who had a lot of ideals without ideology.” Val Muchowski, a longtime Democratic activist, worked alongside Wildman for twenty years. “Joe started off as a Green, so we were kind of on different teams for a while,” she recalled. “But then he became a Democrat, and a very active Democrat. He worked for years as a labor representative, and he had a keen wit and a cutting humor, which made him very fun to work with.” She described him as “very effective,” and told a story about how Wildman decided to drum up some money for the Democratic Party by inviting Fiona Ma, the California State Treasurer, to an event at Black Oak Coffee in Ukiah. “I said, sure, let’s do it, if we can,” Muchowski said. “We raised $3,000 for Democrats at that time. That was pretty good, with less than 100 people in the room,” she concluded. Gardenia added that Wildman, who had been counting down the days to his retirement, spent more time than ever at the union hall as a volunteer. “In the last several weeks, I saw him more than I ever had before...I think he was doing more work as a volunteer, I saw him more after he decided he was no longer going to work.” Before he died, Wildman had a chance to work on a historic campaign to elect two Democratic senators in Georgia. On December 10, he talked to Annie Esposito and Steve Scalmanini for Corporations and Democracy, about driving the mobile headquarters to Atlanta. “You know, everyone acts like driving a long time is hard, but it’s no harder than sitting on your couch,” he told his hosts. “I put a lot of strain on my right ankle. That’s about it. Everything else is sitting in the chair, watching the states go by.” Gardeia says no one can fill Wildman’s shoes. “We’re going to have a recall election sometime later this year, and we’re not going to have that voice, grumbling about it but still doing the work, preventing bad stuff from happening in our state.” There will be a political rally supporting AB 1400, guaranteed healthcare for all on April 17, starting at noon in the Low Gap parking lot in Ukiah and wending its way to Alex Thomas Plaza. It’s what Wildman would have been working on now, and references to him are sure to abound. The Raging Grannies will sing “I dreamed I saw Joe Wildman,” and local democratic leaders will speak. A few weeks before he died, Wildman wrote a poem that now seems prophetic: I am walking backward in time and slimming down, now wearing clothes that haven't fit in years. They are no more out of style now than they ever were. I am walking backward in time getting stronger with each step and closer to where we last diverged. I hope you'll join me now and walk me closer to when we met. To when I first walked you home. I am walking backward in time, but you cannot walk me back into the womb. You can, I hope, walk with me, back until I am no more. It is, I hope, your turn to walk with me the rest of the way. To walk me, slowly, all the way home.

John Chiang, former California State Treasurer and Fall 2020 Fellow at the USC Dornsife Center for the Political Future, joins co-directors Bob Shrum and Mike Murphy to discuss his career in politics, the pandemic's lasting economic impact on California, and its implications for the November election and beyond. Chiang served as California's 33rd State Treasurer until 2019. As the state's banker, he oversaw trillions of dollars in annual transactions, managed a $75 billion investment portfolio, and was the nation's largest issuer of municipal bonds. As State Controller during the Great Recession, his cash management decisions were instrumental in keeping California's credit rating from plunging into junk status, and his actions saved taxpayers millions of dollars. Chiang aggressively used his audit programs to identify more than $9.5 billion of fraud, waste and abuse in government programs, the most by any Controller in California's history. He serves on several boards and will be teaching a course in the fall titled, “From Financial Crisis to COVID-19: California Policy Responses to the Financial Fallout” with the USC Center for the Political Future.

In total, at least 16.8 million Americans have now filed for unemployment aid in the past three weeks as the coronavirus spread throughout the country and businesses closed.

There are three state run retirement plans that are now live.  Despite the fact they have been in the news, there are still a lot of questions about what they are, how they work and how they impact employers and employees who already have a 401(k) or other workplace retirement plan.  To help provide some information and clear up misperceptions I am excited to have Katie Selenski, the Executive Director of CalSavers, the newly launched California state retirement plan join on the podcast.  During our conversation, Katie takes care of the basics and also shares the highlights of some research they did when preparing to launch their plan, some of which might be a bit surprising and other points could help employers with some decisions about their own retirement plans.  We also discuss the profile of the businesses that will benefit from state plans, how wage theft laws provide some protection to employees who participate in them, whether there might be a national plan at some point in the future and what’s next for state plans.   As we did on last week’s episode, Katie answers a written bonus question, we have a full episode transcript,  how to get in touch with Katie and more on the website.  You can find that by going to www.401kfridays.com/calsavers2019.   Guest Bio Katie Selenski was appointed in 2017 by the California State Treasurer to serve as the first Executive Director of the California Secure Choice Retirement Savings Investment Board which operates CalSavers, the state’s pioneering retirement savings program. The program will provide a path to retirement security for millions Californians who currently lack access to a retirement savings vehicle at work. Prior to taking the helm at CalSavers, Ms. Selenski was the State Policy Director for pension policy at The Pew Charitable Trusts in Washington, D.C., where she managed Pew’s efforts to help fiscally distressed states and cities undertake data-driven pension system improvements.  Previously, she was a senior manager with the nonpartisan public sector consulting firm Harvey M. Rose Associates, based in San Francisco, where she advised policymakers on a wide array of budget, management, and policy matters, including pensions. She has also worked as a municipal bond rating analyst, a legislative fellow in the California Assembly, and the director of an historic statewide nonpartisan youth voter turnout initiative. Ms. Selenski is a member of the advisory board of the Aspen Institute’s Leadership Forum on Retirement Savings. She is a graduate of the University of Chicago and the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. 401(k) Fridays Podcast Overview Struggling with a fiduciary issue, looking for strategies to improve employee retirement outcomes or curious about the impact of current events on your retirement plan?

Ellen Brown returns to the program to share why she believes China is winning and why they will continue to win unless we change our entire banking system. The system needs to work for the people, for our future, for industry, and for innovation and development. Currently, the system serves a few at the expense of many. We need to fix this if we want to have a chance to compete against a country like China who has a much better banking system in place to serve their people long term.

She developed her research skills as an attorney practicing civil litigation in Los Angeles. In the best-selling Web of Debt (2007, 2012), she turned those skills to an analysis of the Federal Reserve and “the money trust,” showing how this private cartel has usurped the power to create money from the people themselves and how we the people can get it back. In The Public Bank Solution (2013) she traces the evolution of two banking models that have competed historically, public and private; and explores contemporary public banking systems globally. She has presented these ideas at scores of conferences in the US and abroad, including in England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Canada, Iceland, Ireland, Switzerland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, Croatia, Malaysia, Mexico and Venezuela. Brown developed an interest in the developing world and its problems while living abroad for eleven years in Kenya, Honduras, Guatemala and Nicaragua. She returned to practicing law when she was asked to join the legal team of a popular Tijuana healer with an innovative cancer therapy, who was targeted by the chemotherapy industry in the 1990s. That experience produced her book Forbidden Medicine, which traces the suppression of natural health treatments to the same corrupting influences  that have captured the money system. She also co-authored the bestselling Nature’s Pharmacy, which has sold 285,000 copies. Ellen ran for California State Treasurer in 2014 with the endorsement of the Green Party garnering a record number of votes for a Green Party candidate. Her 330+ blog articles are at http://EllenBrown.com. The Public Banking Institute is at http://PublicBankingInstitute.org. She can be heard biweekly on “It’s Our Money with Ellen Brown” on PRN.FM.   See the full interview on YouTube: https://youtu.be/X4VV9Dxf6co  

On this episode, I chat with Kish Rajan of Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery in Concord where we talk about the California Recycling Crisis. He began his public sector career on Capitol Hill as an aide to Senator Barbara Boxer and then later to Phil Angelides who went on to become California State Treasurer. He is also served a term on the Walnut Creek City Council and in 2012 was appointed by Governor Jerry Brown to the Office of Business and Economic Development (Go Biz) During this chat, we talk about the California Recycling Crisis and impact China has had by no longer taking all our materials.  Impact Amazon boxes are having along with bills such as plastic straw bans, plastic bag bans and now paperless receipts. Potential for increased rates for residential users while discussing impacts of California Assembly Bill 1383. We touch on illegal dumping and what can and cannot be placed in blue recycle bins.  Finally, Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery in Pittsburg is hosting an Earth Day Event for local families.

Miriam Pawel, the Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and author of the definitive biography, The Crusades of Cesar Chavez, continues to chronicle the fascinating history of California and the exceptional people who have shaped our state. In Pawel’s newest work, she demystifies transformative moments of California history—from the Gold Rush to Silicon Valley—as she considers the significant impact of one family dynasty. Beginning with Pat Brown, the beloved father who presided over California during an era of unmatched expansion, to Jerry Brown, the cerebral son who became the youngest governor in modern times—and then returned three decades later as the oldest, Pawel traces four generations of this influential family and will be joined on the ALOUD stage by Kathleen Brown, Pat’s youngest child and former California State Treasurer. Before Californians take to the polls for a very important November election, join us for an inside look at the past and present of state politics.

It’s not often that the California State Treasurer makes national news, but that’s exactly what happened when John Chiang suspended ties with Wells Fargo last year over the bank’s creation of some two million fraudulent accounts. With its $75 billion portfolio, Chiang describes how California sets the example for holding partners to high ethical standards and for public investing in policies that lead to better lives for its residents, reductions in income inequality, and effective responses to climate change. Chiang is the 2017 speaker for Michael Nacht Distinguished Lecture in Politics and Public Policy presented by the Goldman School of Public Policy and the Berkeley Forum at UC Berkeley.
