On the latest episode of our podcast, former Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and former Philly Mayor Michael Nutter chat with Devin Cotten, the Founder and CEO of The Universal Basic Employment and Opportunity Initiative in Cleveland, Ohio. Cotten is helping to extend universal basic employment to one hundred Clevelanders through a pilot that guarantees a living wage of $50,000 a year. This initiative bypasses the common criticism about universal basic income being just a financial handout. "I think this is a more effective tool, politically," Reed said on the podcast, "because you've got somebody getting up and going to work, just like the rest of us. It's hard for people to hate on someone who's doing the very best they can." Join us for this episode about an idea we should be stealing from Cleveland.

Michael Soileau, Director of LUS Fiber, joins us to discuss his vision for the organization. A native of Mamou, Michael graduated from Mamou High, and then earned a degree in International Business from UT in Austin and an MBA from LSU - Shreveport. He took over the reins at LUS Fiber in May 2024. Before this appointment, Michael had worked exclusively in private enterprise. His past employers include Comcast NBCUniversal, specializing in the broadband and cable television business, as well as Toffler Associates, O3, Viya, Comcast Cable, AT&T Broadband, and Optel. He's a proven business leader in sales, business development, and strategic planning in the telecommunication and fiber-optic industry. Michael's first work experiences in broadband came about through his work with Optel. The company was first acquired by AT&T Broadband, which was then acquired by Comcast Corporation, making it the largest broadband and cable subscription business provider in the U. S. Then, Comcast purchased 49% ownership of NBC, and several years later bought the remaining ownership in the broadcast network. These mergers resulted in Michael moving into the entertainment and distribution side of the business. "I worked with Comcast NBC Universal for twenty years, in every operational role you can imagine....sales, marketing, finance, strategic planning on how to grow the business. With the Time Warner acquisition, affordabiIity came up. We started off offering programs for low-income households, and expanded it to sectors such as seniors, Veterans, students...different sectors of the community that can find broadband expensive. I learned so much." Advocate staff photo by Leslie Westbrook. Michael retired from Comcast and then dedicated his life to studies, earning an MBA from LSU. "I admit to being a lifelong learner. When I retired from Comcast, I went to school to get my Master's degree. I had considered working in academia as I had guest lectured at UT for a while. I earned the degree to gain the needed credibility to lecture on international business. But I was reinvigorated by school to get back into the 'business of the business.'" He then spent a year and a half as CEO of O3, a digital experience consultancy based in Philadelphia. At O3, he focused on digital customer experience, strategy, and innovation, bringing the organization a fresh set of eyes on how to position it to tap into new markets and create innovative solutions. Michael had maintained a residence in Lafayette in order to be close to his parents who still reside in Mamou. One day, his neighbor was visiting and they started talking about the open position at LUS Fiber. Rachel Godeaux, LCG's Chief Administrative Officer, met with him and Michael then met with Lafayette Mayor Monique Boulet, who inspired him with her vision for Lafayette and the role fiber could play in attracting companies and driving economic development. "Her overarching belief in the importance of transparency in government was compelling." He wasn't looking for a position, but couldn't say no. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYsXM71kDIw "I love the business of broadband. I've seen the power of broadband and what it does to change communities across the country, so I was excited about the opportunity to come back." Familiar with the history of LUS Fiber, having watched it from its inception back in 2005 when the citizens of Lafayette voted to make it a reality, he remembers having a conversation with the President of Comcast's cable division, saying at the time, "This is a model that will hurt us because it drives community engagement and loyalty with in the community." He further added during our interview, "Those are the values that we are all a part of by living here in Lafayette." "LUS Fiber has had 17 years of operations. We have the opportunity to rethink our marketing and ask what do we stand for, what is our brand, what is our promise to the community,

In the latest episode of the Empowerography Podcast, my guest is Jaclyn Gallo. Hi, I'm Jaclyn. I'm a speaker, writer and life coach helping people create lives that spark the light inside of them. I'm a 2x bestselling author, host of the top 100 podcast Spark Your Light, and Tedx speaker who has delivered keynotes across the globe to organizations including Deloitte and Comcast NBCUniversal. My company, Spark Your Light Studios, has proudly reached millions of women in 96 countries. My journey began 7 years ago, when I found myself in a corporate internship, as a 21-year-old college student, questioning what I really wanted out of life. I wondered, "Is this it? Is this the best its ever going to get?" I knew that there had to be more out there for me. With no experience and no savings, I took a leap of faith and pursued my first business idea. It was a total failure, and I spent more than $50,000 (that I won in pitch contests, raised on Kickstarter and borrowed using credit cards) on ideas that never made it off the ground. Applying the lessons from the failures I experienced, I built a thriving company helping women use their failures as a springboard to achieve their goals, just like I did. And that's where it all began. In this episode we discuss failure, regret, courage, finding our purpose and the importance of listening as a coach.

And pursuing any dream is hard." - 00:05:35 "Helping people create lives that they love. I feel like so many people are just mediocre, kind of miserable, kind of bleh."- 00:32:58 "One of the most important things I've learned is that all things that are easy. Now, we're once hard for you. And so in order to create an easy life, which most of us are ultimately seeking on some level, the answer is to do the hard things." - 00:57:41 THE WORLD needs to hear your message and your story.

In this episode of Work in Progress, I'm joined by Steve Ewell, executive director of Consumer Technology Association Foundation, and Keely Cat-Wells, founder & CEO of Making Space, to discuss how technology in improving access to jobs and career advancement for older adults and people with disabilities. Using tech to advance accessibility at work and at home was a key theme at this year's big CES 2024 conference in Las Vegas earlier this month. It is also the mission of the Consumer Technology Association Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the organization that runs the conference. Executive director Steve Ewell says the Foundation was created to serve "two growing, yet often overlooked, populations: older adults and people with disabilities. We really approach ways to use technology to improve lives of people in those populations." "It's really serving to both recognize companies that are doing this work really well, but also serving as a little bit of a carrot to attract the attention of companies that maybe hadn't addressed aging or disability yet." Ewell adds, "There's so much incredible innovation out there. Technology holds the promise to really improve lives across the board. When I meet these founders and look at the types of ideas that they're creating, the problems that they're trying to solve, I'm really a technology optimist for the opportunities that this technology can provide across work, home, and play. "The other piece that often gets ignored is you can live independently at home, and you can go to work, but if you don't have the opportunity to go out to a restaurant with friends, go to a movie, do other things like that, that's another opportunity for technology to really create those connections and create just that meaningful life that people can have." Among the startups catching the attention of CTA Foundation this year is Making Space, an accessible talent acquisition and learning experience platform that allows media companies to identify, train and access disabled, overlooked, and underrepresented talent pools. CEO Keely Cat-Wells explains that she founded Making Space as a result of her own personal experience as a person with a hidden disability in the workforce. "I was training to be a dancer in my teens, and then II became very unwell and then ended up spending a lot of my years in hospital. I got misdiagnosed, undiagnosed, and went through a lot of medical malpractice and trauma, and basically came out the other side of hospital as a disabled person. "I live with chronic illness and a hidden disability. I had never been in that space before. I had no idea what to expect, and I just started realizing that the world was so inaccessible." She says she was hired by a company in the entertainment industry, but after disclosing her disability and asking for accommodations and access requirements, she was told she no longer have the job. "That was the light bulb moment for me that I really wanted to do something and try and make sure that this doesn't happen to anyone else and just create a more equitable and accessible world for disabled people," says Cat-Wells. She says that Making Space has "built a tool and a feature within our platform that turns our lived experience of disability into transferable skills and professional strengths." The company has now partnered with Netflix and Comcast NBCUniversal to provide training and access to jobs in the entertainment industry.

Using tech to advance accessibility at work and at home was a key theme at this year's big CES 2024 conference in Las Vegas earlier this month. It is also the mission of the Consumer Technology Association Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the organization that runs the conference. Executive director Steve Ewell says the Foundation was created to serve "two growing, yet often overlooked, populations: older adults and people with disabilities. We really approach ways to use technology to improve lives of people in those populations." "It's really serving to both recognize companies that are doing this work really well, but also serving as a little bit of a carrot to attract the attention of companies that maybe hadn't addressed aging or disability yet." Ewell adds, "There's so much incredible innovation out there. Technology holds the promise to really improve lives across the board. When I meet these founders and look at the types of ideas that they're creating, the problems that they're trying to solve, I'm really a technology optimist for the opportunities that this technology can provide across work, home, and play. "The other piece that often gets ignored is you can live independently at home, and you can go to work, but if you don't have the opportunity to go out to a restaurant with friends, go to a movie, do other things like that, that's another opportunity for technology to really create those connections and create just that meaningful life that people can have." Among the startups catching the attention of CTA Foundation this year is Making Space, an accessible talent acquisition and learning experience platform that allows media companies to identify, train and access disabled, overlooked, and underrepresented talent pools. CEO Keely Cat-Wells explains that she founded Making Space as a result of her own personal experience as a person with a hidden disability in the workforce. "I was training to be a dancer in my teens, and then II became very unwell and then ended up spending a lot of my years in hospital. I got misdiagnosed, undiagnosed, and went through a lot of medical malpractice and trauma, and basically came out the other side of hospital as a disabled person. "I live with chronic illness and a hidden disability. I had never been in that space before. I had no idea what to expect, and I just started realizing that the world was so inaccessible." She says she was hired by a company in the entertainment industry, but after disclosing her disability and asking for accommodations and access requirements, she was told she no longer have the job. "That was the light bulb moment for me that I really wanted to do something and try and make sure that this doesn't happen to anyone else and just create a more equitable and accessible world for disabled people," says Cat-Wells. She says that Making Space has "built a tool and a feature within our platform that turns our lived experience of disability into transferable skills and professional strengths." The company has now partnered with Netflix and Comcast NBCUniversal to provide training and access to jobs in the entertainment industry.

Just because you use pretty words that sound nice doesn't mean they are effective. Although we know what we do because we do it all the time; it's hard to separate that from what your audience wants and experiences. Thankfully, today's guest is here to help. Ben Guttmann is a marketing and communications expert and author of Simply Put: Why Clear Messages Win — and How to Design Them. We discuss why business owners often muck up their sales pages (what I call invitation letters), how to reduce friction when attracting clients and customers, and the toll that writing too much takes on the receiver.

Raul interviews Marketing Expert Ben Guttmann who discusses the importance of clear and simple messaging in marketing in a podcast episode. He argues for messages that are beneficial, focused, salient, empathetic, and minimal, and suggests that trying to communicate too much at once can detract from a message's impact. Ben also addresses changes in attention spans in an increasingly distracted society, stating that this is not a new phenomenon but is impacted by data optimization and capitalist incentives that seek to fragment attention. However, he asserts that human attention spans fundamentally have not changed over time, and that ineffective messages are more likely due to poor design than increased distractions. Ben extends an invitation to listeners to learn more through his website, newsletter, and a free chapter of his book. Who's The Guest?

Fluent messages that require less mental load tend to perform better in terms of trust, likability, and buying behavior.Ben mentioned Apple as a prime example when asked about brands that excel in simple messaging.

Simply Put: Why Clear Messages Win―and How to Design Them by Ben Guttmann About the Book: How do you break through the noise? Why do some messages work when others don't?

In Simply Put, award-winning marketing entrepreneur Ben Guttmann unveils a five-part framework that allows anybody to communicate with clarity. With this book, you'll be able to design messages that are beneficial, focused, salient, empathetic, and minimal - and that work.
