Intro.(1:35) - Start of interview.(2:19) - Christa's "origin story". She grew up in Dixon, California. She later went to CSU Sacramento and got her MBA at USC.  She started working as a bank teller in college and ended up as the President & CEO of Mechanics Bank in the Bay Area.  They sold the bank in 2015 to a PE firm owned by a Texas billionaire. After that sale, she started joining boards of directors.(3:53) - Her breakdown of banks: large, regional and community banks. At each level there is a significant difference in corporate governance.(5:23) - Her experience joining boards post 2015. She's had 8 board experiences with companies of different sizes and stages of development: from startup, scale-ups, to public companies. She started exploring bitcoin and blockchain technology. She also joined the NACD (Northern CA chapter). The first board she joined was of FIG partners, an investment bank (where she also joined as a partner). They sold the firm to Janney Montgomery Scott in 2019. She then joined the boards of Brainchip Holdings (ASX), Recology, OFG Bancorp, Sasser Family Holdings, Tanimura & Antle and Balco Holdings, Inc (owner of Bay Alarm, Bay Alarm Medical and BALCO Properties).(10:08) - The pros and cons of serving in boards of companies of different sizes and stages of development. Her transition from board member to CEO at Balco Holdings (starting on April 1, 2022). The intricacies of family-owned businesses.(14:08) - What's Balco Holdings and why she's excited about her new CEO role.(17:27) - How she thinks about security in CA, the impact of COVID-19 on how people behave, plus tech and cybersecurity trends.(19:15) - How boards and companies should approach cybersecurity threats: "I think you need the cybersecurity expertise in the C-suite."(22:43) - Her take on the evolution of ESG in the boardroom: "I've helped my boardrooms develop ESG dashboards." "It's going to be very interesting to see what happens in the next few months." "Boardrooms should look at the company's own CPI indexes and costs given the current environment." "A lot of people will have to take a stance of wait-and-see [on ESG] and not overthink it right now."(28:06) - Her take on blockchain technology. Biden's Executive Order on Digital Assets. "SWIFT is so antiquated it needs to go (on how we send wires and ACH)." "It's too early to weigh-in on DAOs, it will continue to morph and evolve."(35:30) - Christa's parting thoughts for directors in the current environment:Directors should be asking about their own company version of their CPI index. Are they tracking what's happening internally?Take measures in case we enter a recession. What's the inventory? Receivables?Hybrid model (office-home). Where do we go from here?(37:57) - Benefits of joining NACD. She's been affiliated with the NACD Northern California chapter since 2015 (she's currently the Vice-Chair of the chapter): "It has been wonderful for me." They have about 1,500 public company directors in their chapter. 50-60 speaking engagements on an annual basis. "Directors of 20 years ago vs. being a director today has dramatically shifted. It's all about staying current and educated." "I encourage directors to become NACD certified directors."(39:23) - Christa's favorite books (applicable to her board work):AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, and the New World Order, by Kai-Fu Lee (2018)Think Again, by Adam Grant (2021)(40:25) - Who were your mentors, and what did you learn from them? In the board context: "the mentors from which I've gained the most wisdom, are the ones that have been there and done that." "I've learned the finesse of how questions are asked and answered." "I've understood the boundaries that exist between directors and operators." "The mentors and people I admire the most are the ones that lead with humility, they have been humbled."(41:45) - Are there any quotes you think of often, or live your life by? "The curse of knowledge is that it closes our minds to what we don't know." Adam Grant from Think Again. The flipside of that is "if knowledge is power, knowing what we don't know is wisdom."(42:12) - An unusual habit or an absurd thing that she loves: "I wear Uggs slippers all year long."(42:43) - The person she most admires ("relevant right now"): Margaret Thatcher, "I think that the Iron Lady's anti-communism stance right now is alive and well."Christa Steele is the incoming CEO of BALCO Holdings, owner of Bay Alarm, Bay Alarm Medical, and BALCO Properties. She also serves as a public and private company board director.__ You can follow Evan on social media at:Twitter: @evanepsteinLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/epsteinevan/ Substack: https://evanepstein.substack.com/__Music/Soundtrack (found via Free Music Archive): Seeing The Future by Dexter Britain is licensed under a Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License

Yet, property crime rates were at historic lows in 2020 – down 30% since 2000. Robberies decreased by 14% and rapes decreased by 8%. What are we to make of these statistics, and how do they compare to national trends? Did Prop. 47 cause a crime wave? What are the real numbers for California Crime?

You were so excited to start your business, and you couldn't wait until you shared it with all your friends and family. If telling them was nerve-racking enough, then you had to venture out to share with others, strangers, and you were overcome by FEAR. Fear of looking foolish, you are out there trying to prospect and connect with people, and that old familiar thought creeps into your head… what do they think of me? I am not as good as…, or nobody will listen to me. We have all been there and still struggle with it from time to time. It can hold us back from excelling in our business and having that deep relationship with God. Let me introduce you to my guest, Pastor Elaine. Pastor Elaine is from the Sacramento area.

You were so excited to start your business, and you couldn't wait until you shared it with all your friends and family. If telling them was nerve-racking enough, then you had to venture out to share with others, strangers, and you were overcome by FEAR. Fear of looking foolish, you are out there trying to prospect and connect with people, and that old familiar thought creeps into your head… what do they think of me? I am not as good as…, or nobody will listen to me. We have all been there and still struggle with it from time to time. It can hold us back from excelling in our business and having that deep relationship with God. Let me introduce you to my guest, Pastor Elaine. Pastor Elaine is from the Sacramento area.

Some might say that Nigel Poor and Earlonne Woods were destined to meet. Poor, a professor of photography at CSU Sacramento, was volunteering with the Prison University Project at San Quentin State Prison when she met Woods, who was serving a 31-year-to-life sentence. The two bonded over a love of storytelling and with no formal experience, began a podcast together where they showcase the realities of life in prison while detailing the path of their fateful friendship. Their upcoming book, This Is Ear Hustle, shares its name with their well-received podcast, which has gone on to become a finalist for the 2020 Pulitzer Prize and is in its seventh season. The book avoids the overtly political and instead delves into the richness of humanity found even behind the bars of the prison system. With candor, the authors showcase the unlikely inspiration found in stories of the incarcerated. At INFORUM Earlonne Woods—whose sentence was commuted in 2018—and Nigel Poor will take our stage in downtown San Francisco to help our audiences become “ear hustlers'' themselves, eavesdropping on the tales of resilience, forgiveness and the lives that exist behind some of America's most well-guarded doors. This program will be moderated by Piper Kerman, author of The New York Times bestseller Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison.

California educators, school leaders and communities have never faced a moment with so many intersecting crises: pandemic, economic, educational, civic. While schools just wrapped up the 2019-20 year, the push is on to determine how to ready schools for the coming year. It's no easy task. Guest Daryl Camp, Superintendent of San Lorenzo USD in Alameda County and President of the California Association of African-American Superintendents and Administrators (CAAASA), helps us continue to explore the complex decisions and challenges facing California's school communities: How can districts provide quality educational experiences for students within the parameters of COVID-19 health and safety precautions? And how to pay for it when state policymakers are contemplating severe budget cuts to a school system that is already chronically underfunded?Dr. Camp describes how planning conversations in best district have centered on three principles: Student and staff safety; student learning; and equity. He further discusses difficult trade-offs with different approaches to restarting schools. To support school districts, Dr. Camp advocates for greater flexibility, changes to certain ways that schools are funded (such as shifting away from funding based on attendance to funding based on enrollment); more clear guidelines from the state and public health officials about safety; and more guidance regarding learning expectations in the context of the extra safety precautions. We also discuss Dr. Camp’s recent testimony to the Assembly Budget Subcommittee on Education Finance and why the connection between legislators and educators needs to be strengthened.
