Black Power, Inc.: Corporate America and the Rise of Multinational Empowerment Politics, (U Pennsylvania Press, 2026), traces the rise of Black empowerment politics in the United States and Africa. On a cold January day in 1964, civil rights minister turned entrepreneur Rev. Leon Howard Sullivan declared to a group of supporters gathered to witness the launch of Sullivan's latest venture, Opportunities Industrialization Centers, Inc., “The day has come when we must do more than protest—we must now also PREPARE and PRODUCE!” Occasionally linked with the movement for Black Power, Sullivan and others, including Coca-Cola vice president Carl Ware and Atlanta mayor Andrew Young, were in fact architects of Black empowerment—an intellectual and political movement that championed private enterprise as the key to Black people's prosperity.Jessica Ann Levy traces Black empowerment's rise in American politics—from early twentieth-century influences including Booker T. Washington and Marcus Garvey to the cities of postwar America into corporate boardrooms and government offices—and across the Atlantic Ocean to Africa. Civil rights leaders, Black entrepreneurs, white corporate executives, and government officials all championed Black empowerment as a means to address multiple crises in US cities and to blunt some of the more radical aspects of the Black Power movement. Black empowerment politics likewise found application overseas in various Cold War efforts to promote American-style free enterprise in Africa. This was especially the case in South Africa, where US corporate executives and government officials wielded Black empowerment politics to oppose apartheid and divestment.By the early twenty-first century, the idea that private enterprise, including small-scale entrepreneurs and large multinational corporations, should play a leading role in combating racial inequality and empowering Black and other marginalized people featured prominently in various policies and programs at the local, national, and international level. By tracing Black empowerment politics' evolution, Black Power, Inc. explains its popularity, championed by leaders from Bill Clinton to Nelson Mandela, while also revealing its role in expanding US corporate power, locally and globally.

Oracle's shares climbed 9 per cent on Tuesday after the database group posted better than expected earnings, and we discuss how American businesses are navigating soaring energy prices. Plus, the higher costs to insure tankers traversing the Strait of Hormuz, and the FT's Antoine Gara explains why investors are ditching private credit funds. Mentioned in this podcast:Oracle shares rally on strong revenue forecast from AI data centresSoaring fuel prices expected to cast long shadow across US economyLloyd's of London says it will still insure ‘basically anyone' in the GulfInvestors ditch private credit funds on rising worries over bad loansRetail investors shun private credit funds after Blue Owl gatingNote: The FT does not use generative AI to voice its podcasts Today's FT News Briefing was hosted and edited by Marc Filippino, and produced by Fiona Symon, Victoria Craig, Sonja Hutson and Saffeya Ahmed.

Chuck Todd opens the episode with a blunt assessment: it's starting to feel like the beginning of the end of Donald Trump's presidency. From an open-ended war in Iran to a cratering stock market, Trump finds himself sinking deeper into what Chuck calls "presidential quicksand," with every show of strength only revealing more weakness. Chuck breaks down the staggering early costs of the Iran conflict — over 1,000 casualties and $6 billion spent in just one week — and asks the question no one in Washington seems willing to answer: does anyone actually have an exit strategy? On the economy, the latest jobs report is sending ominous signals. With slow growth, rising prices, and tariff uncertainty dominating the economic discourse, Chuck makes the case that the swing voters who put Trump back in the White House for his perceived economic expertise are the first ones who'll walk away when their wallets take the hit. Corporate America is also starting to find its backbone. From Anthropic refusing to strip safety guardrails to Netflix walking away from a bad deal, Chuck sees a telling pattern: companies are pushing back on a president who looks weak. Finally, Chuck takes an illuminating detour into his "Time Machine" segment, tracing how communication technology has permanently reshaped the American presidency, from Alexander Graham Bell’s first phone call, to FDR's fireside chats, all the way to Trump’s constant social media use. Plus, Chuck answers listener questions touching subjects like the potential similarities between Pearl Harbor and Trump’s Iran strikes, NIL in college sports, what's really going on with Democrats’ reactions to politicians like John Fetterman straying from the party line, and James Talarico’s bid for Congress.

Corporate America is also starting to find its backbone. From Anthropic refusing to strip safety guardrails to Netflix walking away from a bad deal, Chuck sees a telling pattern: companies are pushing back on a president who looks weak. Legendary documentarian Ken Burns joins the Chuck Toddcast for a sweeping conversation about American history, the craft of telling it honestly, and why historical perspective has never mattered more than it does right now. Burns addresses head-on the criticism that his work is "woke," arguing that his documentaries have a perspective but it's not left versus right — he wants to call balls and strikes, and the truth shouldn't be something people fear. He offers a striking defense of nuance, noting that the Republican Party has been the most successful political party on earth and that his life's work has been about making films about both the U.S. and "us" — the complicated, contradictory people who built and continue to shape the country. Burns discusses his latest project on the American Revolution, which he insists he didn't intentionally time to the 250th anniversary, and reveals he's also working on a film about Reconstruction and potentially a documentary on the Cold War. He walks through his rigorous process for evaluating source material, the challenge of needing great actors to bring the founders to life, and how those founders were obsessively focused on virtue — creating something genuinely new in human history while writing a Constitution brilliant enough to endure centuries but unable to foresee Congress voluntarily abdicating its own power. The conversation takes a fascinating philosophical turn as they explore the recurring patterns of American history: the manufacture of fear as a tool for authoritarians, the repeated failure of using government to force social change, and the way religion has been wielded as a cudgel by governments despite the founders being explicitly against a national religion. Burns offers a revealing window into his methodology, explaining that you need 25 to 30 years of distance before you can responsibly cover a historical subject, and that Trump's presidency has effectively constipated the scholarship on the Obama era because the two will be forever intertwined in history. He notes that views on Vietnam's legacy shifted vastly over decades, and that the passage of time is essential for triangulating toward truth — take historians for their knowledge, not always their perspective.

From mass deportations to the dismantling of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, many Americans are fed up with the actions of the president. And yet as consumers and investors, we are stuffing the pockets of the very companies that are supporting these controversial initiatives. This week, we shine a light on the movement to #ResistAndUnsubscribe, and highlight Corporate America's involvement in the Deportation Industrial Complex.

This episode explores the growing lack of “skin in the game” in modern capitalism — where executives collect bonuses when things go right and walk away with golden parachutes when things go wrong.From corporate bureaucracies and consultant-driven decision making to risk-free insiders and failing accountability, Chris breaks down how today's system rewards failure instead of responsibility. Why does real ownership matter? And why should you always ask what someone stands to lose — not just what they stand to gain?

Victims of Jeffrey Epstein say the historic arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the brother of King Charles III, is a step in the right direction. But high-profile figures in the US still have not faced similar consequences, weeks after the Justice Department released more than 3 million documents related to the late financier and convicted sex offender. We hear from a group of survivors who say this feels like the beginning of the story, not the end. For more: ‘This is not over.'

Military to Corporate Leadership: Dave Parmly on Navigating Career Transitions, Integrity, and the Trusting the Process With over 40 years of experience spanning the US Military, KFC, Pilot Company, and CSUSA Shoffner, Dave Parmly has navigated multiple career transitions and leadership roles. Each of these transitions required preparation, trust, and the willingness to listen and adapt. In our latest PCS to Corporate America podcast episode, Dave shares the leadership principles that guided him from military service to senior HR and operations roles in business. Here are some of the core themes from the episode: You Don't Just Transition Once It is easy to view the military to civilian transition as a one-time event. However, each new role, each new company, each new life change is its own transition. Dave partnered with Cameron-Brooks and made the military to business transition in 1990. Through his storied career, he navigated career transitions along the way, across companies, roles, and locations with his family. And he's picked up incredible wisdom along the way. Listening and Seeking Feedback Are Leadership Fundamentals Dave's move to corporate leadership taught him that listening is one of the most underrated leadership skills. He encourages leaders to seek feedback from multiple sources: peers, direct reports, even family members. If you're not actively seeking feedback, you're missing opportunities to grow. Integrity Means Being a Whole Person Too often, people compartmentalize their lives. They're one person in the office and another person at home. But, according to Dave, true integrity means aligning who you are in these different spaces and showing up authentically. What are ways you can show up more authentically at work? How are the benefits of increasing trust at work? Listen to the Full Episode This episode was truly a gift. Great conversation, great people, great advice. Thank you to Joel Junker and Dave Parmly for your wisdom and generosity.

Corporate America didn’t “go woke” overnight—it was pushed there through ESG and DEI mandates driven by powerful asset managers, proxy advisors, and activist investors. In this episode of Main Street Matters, Elaine Parker of the Job Creators Network is joined by Allen Mendenhall, Senior Advisor for the Free Enterprise Initiative at the Heritage Foundation. Mendenhall breaks down what ESG and DEI really mean, how the shift from shareholder capitalism to stakeholder governance reshaped corporate decision-making, and why non-financial political standards began overriding profit, performance, and fiduciary duty. The conversation explores how large asset managers and proxy firms exert massive influence over corporate boards—often pushing companies into cultural battles that alienate customers and hurt long-term value. The episode also dives into Heritage’s groundbreaking strategy to flip the script—using the same shareholder tools once weaponized by ESG activists to restore corporate neutrality, protect investors, and refocus companies on profitability and lawful governance. Mendenhall explains how shareholder engagement, proposal withdrawals, and behind-the-scenes negotiations are already changing corporate behavior across major brands.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Power of Mentorship From Military to Corporate America: Leadership Lessons in From A Supply Chain Leader, Jim O'Rourke Transitioning from military service to corporate America isn't just about landing a job, it's about preparing for a completely different operating environment. In our latest podcast episode, Cameron-Brooks alum Jim O'Rourke shares how humility, mentorship, and leadership frameworks helped him build a successful supply chain career after the military. Why Military Transition Requires More Than a Resume Most officers underestimate what it takes to succeed in corporate America."Humility is important in transitioning," Jim explains. Coming from the military, where rank and experience are clear, the corporate world requires a different approach. You're no longer the expert. You're the learner. This mindset shift is critical for officers moving into leadership-intensive roles like supply chain management, operations, or manufacturing—where understanding team dynamics and business processes matters as much as decision-making ability. The Role of Mentorship in Career Development One of the most valuable aspects of Jim's transition was mentorship. But not just any mentorship: the kind that provides a "safe harbor for growth" and challenges your thinking. "Mentoring is a safe harbor for growth," Jim notes. In corporate America, you need people who can help you navigate unwritten rules, decode organizational dynamics, and develop the critical thinking skills that separate good leaders from great ones. Cameron-Brooks provides this structured mentorship during the transition process. What about after the transition? According to Jim, finding mentors within your company accelerates your career development long-term. Understanding Supply Chain: More Than Logistics For officers considering supply chain roles, Jim breaks down what this actually means. It's not just moving products. It requires leadership-intensive work in addition to the following: - Managing across operations: Managing cross-functional teams across manufacturing, distribution, and planning - Process optimization: Understanding the COGS (Cost of Goods Sold) ladder and how every decision impacts profitability - Strategic thinking: Balancing production needs, customer demands, and financial constraints "Clarity of purpose helps teams succeed," Jim emphasizes. In supply chain, that clarity comes from understanding how your decisions ripple through the entire organization. What Makes Cameron-Brooks Candidates Different In addition to his expertise in supply chain, he has been on the hiring side. When asked what differentiates Cameron-Brooks candidates, Jim pointed to two qualities: 1. Genuine preparation: They've done the work to understand industries, roles, and companies before interviews 2. Intellectual curiosity: They ask better questions because they've been coached to think critically about fit "Cameron Brooks candidates are well-prepared and genuine in their approach," he observes. They're not just looking for any job...they're looking for the right career trajectory. The Importance of Lifelong Learning Jim's final piece of advice? Never stop learning. Whether it's leadership books, industry podcasts, or formal training, lifelong learning is crucial for career advancement. The military teaches you to be adaptable. Corporate America rewards those who continuously evolve. Ready to Start Your Transition?

Stretch goals came out of Jack Welch's GE in the 1990s. Corporate America has been obsessed with them ever since. And they don't work.Here's what actually happens: You dump work on someone, disappear, and call it development. That's not a stretch goal. That's abandonment.In this episode, I'm replacing stretch goals entirely with a 5-step framework for developing people by letting go of work—with structure, coaching, and support.You'll learn how to identify what you're hoarding, slice work into learnable pieces, and coach people through it without taking the work back the first time they struggle.This is Part 3 of the Development Reckoning series. If you haven't listened to Parts 1 and 2, start there first.Stop the chase. Grow in place. Starting with the work you're holding onto right now.
After nearly 20 years as a recruiter in Corporate America, I've watched the job market move in clear, repeatable cycles — ebbs and flows, budget freezes and hiring surges, election years, contract awards, and the ripple effects of government spending that job seekers rarely see from the outside. In this episode, I explore what happens when logical, left-brain career strategy meets creative and spiritual right-brain insight. Yes, I help people strengthen résumés, navigate job board algorithms, and position themselves competitively - but through Ascending Dawn Doula, I also bring an added layer to career consulting: a soul-informed review of the birth chart, paired with numerology. Astrology offers clear indicators around career, reputation, legacy, and long-term fulfillment - through placements like the Midheaven, Rising sign, Sun, Moon, North Node, and Chiron. These pieces tell a story not just about what someone does for work, but how they're meant to be seen, what they need to feel fulfilled, where growth is calling, and what kind of contribution their soul is here to make. Numerology then helps determine whether a particular year supports bold change, quiet preparation, or consolidation. Rather than replacing practical strategy, this approach blends structure with intuition - honoring effort, timing, and soul alignment. I also share how I gently gauge openness in career consultations, meeting people exactly where they are, whether they're deeply analytical, spiritually curious, or somewhere in between. This episode is an invitation to stop forcing outcomes and start making informed, aligned career decisions by engaging both sides of the brain - and the full picture of who you are.

Hanania criticizes the far-right's nativism, particularly against Indian immigrants, and the rise of anti-Semitism, both as a feature of low-IQ populism. They also touch on foreign policy, noting the failures of authoritarian regimes like Russia and China, and the potential for democratic systems to prevail. Hanania brings up cultural differences, particularly in Asia, and the impact of personality traits on success. They talk about the Big Five personality traits, and note that disagreeableness and low neuroticism are linked to professional success, especially in men. Razib also brings up the 2017 James Damore Google memo controversy, highlighting the cultural and political implications down to the present. Hanania reflects on his experiences with cancel culture and the evolving acceptance of diverse viewpoints. They also discuss the role of Substack in promoting free speech and the challenges faced by platforms in maintaining this principle.
What happens when a $2 billion CEO walks away from corporate success to serve former gang members? Thomas Vozzo faced exactly that choice. After 26 years in the for-profit world, he chose Homeboy Industries over another lucrative CEO role—knowing he was "burning bridges." At Homeboy, Tom discovered profound truths. "God is too busy loving us to judge us," he learned, not intellectually but viscerally, surrounded daily by 500 people healing from complex trauma. He watched former gang members flourish when given 8, 9, 10 chances. The stress was greater, but the joy ran deeper. His journey challenges everything we're taught to value, revealing that authentic success means finding joy through serving others, not chasing titles.Thomas J. Vozzo is an author, speaker, and former Fortune 200 executive who served 26 years in the for-profit world before becoming CEO of Homeboy Industries, the world's largest gang rehabilitation and re-entry organization. As Homeboy's first CEO, Tom brought transformational leadership, quadrupling the organization's size, growing the annual budget from $11M to $50M, and helping 10,000 people annually. Currently serving as Senior Advisor, Tom promotes from within—70% of leadership are former clients.

If your New Year's resolution is financial freedom, career control, or finally becoming your own boss, this episode is your wake-up call. Corporate America has quietly changed the rules—layoffs happen fast, loyalty doesn't pay like it used to, and AI is reshaping job security. In this solo episode, Lance Graulich breaks down why the “perfect time” doesn't arrive… you step into it—and why franchising can be a proven path to ownership without gambling your future.You'll also hear real-world examples from past guests on the Franchise Fit Podcast, including high-performing owners who replaced (and exceeded) their corporate income through systems, support, and smart decision-making—without reinventing the wheel.
What if your New Year's resolutions keep failing because they were never really yours to begin with? Most goals we set aren't chosen—they're inherited from magazines, social media, parents, or that version of ourselves we think we're supposed to become. That's why they don't stick. In this episode, Tony shares his decades-long "pushup obsession" and how Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) finally broke the cycle—not through more discipline, but by discovering what actually mattered to him. What you'll learn: - Why "socially compliant goals" sabotage your motivation before you even start - The crucial difference between values (your compass) and goals (checkboxes)—and why confusing them keeps you stuck - How to use lead measures instead of lag measures to build sustainable change - The "Passengers on the Bus" technique for moving forward even when self-doubt is loud - A simple 5-step "Get Back on the Saddle" plan for when you inevitably wobble With over 20 years of clinical experience, Tony explains why you're not broken—you're human—and offers a framework for building a life that actually feels like yours. Ready to stop beating yourself up and start driving toward what matters? This might be the last resolution episode you'll ever need. 00:00 Introduction: Are Your Goals Really Yours? 00:44 Meet Tony Overbay: Your Guide to Self-Improvement 01:57 The New Year's Resolution Dilemma 04:03 The Pushup Story: A Lesson in Values 12:34 Understanding Socially Compliant Goals 15:04 Experiential Avoidance: The Trap of Avoiding Discomfort 20:26 Lag Measures vs. Lead Measures: The Key to Achieving Goals 27:28 Values vs. Goals: The Core of Sustainable Change 38:52 Perceived Value vs. Perceived Capability 40:57 Understanding Perceived Capability and Value 41:46 Corporate America and Disengagement 42:50 New Year's Resolutions and Motivation 46:18 Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) vs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) 54:47 The Power of ACT in Therapy 01:00:58 Practical Steps for Getting Back on Track 01:06:05 Embracing Emotions and Moving Forward 01:08:01 Conclusion: Driving the Bus Towards What Matters Contact Tony at contact@tonyoverbay.com to learn more about his Emotional Architects men's group.
