"Be friends with your co-workers and your competitors" Ray Ritchey Bio Raymond ("Ray") A. Ritchey serves as Senior Executive Vice President at Boston Properties (BXP). Prior to his appointment to this position in January 2016, Mr. Ritchey served as Executive Vice President, Head of the Washington, DC Office and National Director of Acquisitions and Development since April 1998 and Senior Vice President and Co-Manager of the Washington, DC office. Mr. Ritchey is responsible for all business development, leasing and marketing, as well as new opportunity origination in the Washington, DC area. He also directly oversees similar activities on a national basis. Mr. Ritchey joined BXP in 1980, leading its expansion to become one of the dominant real estate firms in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. For four years prior to joining us, Mr. Ritchey was one of the leading commercial real estate brokers in the Washington, DC area with Coldwell Banker. Mr. Ritchey is the President of the Board of Spanish Education Development (SED) Center; a member of the Federal City Council; a member of The Economic Club of Washington; Founding member of the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties (NAIOP), Northern Virginia; Chair of the JDRF Real Estate Games; and an active volunteer with numerous civic, charitable, and real estate industry organizations. A sampling of Mr. Ritchey's professional honors include: ULI Lifetime Achievement Award; Man of the Year, CREW; Brendan McCarthy Award, GWCAR; Good Scout of the Year, Boy Scouts; Trendsetter of the Year, Transwestern; Developer of the Year (numerous organizations); and Junior Achievement Man of the Year. He is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and a graduate of the U.S. Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey, California. Such a great guy and while successful, remains very humble. Shownotes For Episode #6 my guest is the inimitable Ray Ritchey, arguably one of the most well liked and respected real estate executives in the Washington region. As you will hear, Ray comes from a rather humble background with a father who was a traveling salesman and growing up in suburban St. Louis, MO. He attended the Naval Academy during the Vietnam War and served in the Navy without even a cruise and gets a great education in leadership, hard work and people skills. Recruited by Coldwell Banker in 1977 as one of the first brokers in the DC commercial real estate office, he excelled as a tenant rep agent. He brought several tenants to a new building being built on Capital Hill in 1979 and was recruited by the landlord, Boston Properties, to lead the Washington office the next year. Here are a few highlights from our discussion:

Have you ever scanned the radio looking for some music that fits your specific mood at that moment? Well, that’s the daily quandary for show host John Avery. Thus the creation of ‘Raiding The Crates on DC Radio’, a weekly two-hour ride through John’s wildly diverse music taste and genre-hopping music collection. Be prepared to hear shows ranging from Southern Soul & Blues to House Music. Hear songs by artists from Frank Sinatra to Frank Ocean; from Sarah Vaughn to Fantaisa; from Al Green to The B-52’s. John is all over the place, but never too far from his first love: MUSIC. If you’re the least bit adventurous, make it a point to join him weekly for “Raiding The Crates”. John Avery hails from Nashville, Tennessee and is currently a resident of Washington, DC. He is a thirty-seven year television production veteran, who started his career as a local news videographer in Knoxville, Tennessee, continuing with stints in Raleigh, North Carolina, where he moved from news to entertainment and documentaries. This led to a fifteen year residency at BET (Black Entertainment Television), where he met and worked with many of the music idols that are featured on his radio show, ‘Raiding The Crates’. John has spent the last 16 years working for the DC Office of Cable Television, Film, Music and Entertainment, where he serves as the Studio Production Manager, all the while supplanting his love for music as a ‘multi-genre hopping’ DJ. His DJ motto; “If you request it, chances are that I have it”.

She monitors, reviews and analyzes policies, programs, regulations and proposals to identify ways to close the Latino digital divide and expand access to communications for all Americans, regardless of their income or home zip code. Daiquiri’s advocacy work includes preserving net neutrality, strengthening privacy protections, and increasing diversity in media ownership. Previously Daiquiri served as policy fellow at Public Knowledge, where she created and led the Broadband Connects America rural broadband coalition, engaged online creators in the fight to restore net neutrality, led litigation against the FCC’s repeal of the 2016 Tech Transitions order, and advocated for policies to close the digital divide. Her other fellowships have included time at Amazon, the DC Office of Attorney General, and the Arizona Department of Education. She is a member of the inaugural class of Google Next Gen Policy Leaders, where she co-leads a working group focused on creative policy solutions for intellectual property and social justice. Daiquiri also serves as Vice President and co-founder of the Joey Ryan Foundation, a 501(c)(3) created in honor of her late brother that focuses on empowering young people with disabilities.

Resources National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC) Lack of Internet Access Threatens 2020 Census Success and the Future of Latino Voting Power by Daiquiri Ryan HEADLINES: The Muellerreport finds Russians tried to hack Hillary emails within 5 hours after Trump called for it, the CIA warns the world about Huawei, and Daiquiri Ryan is my guest News Roundup Mueller report says Russians attempted to hack Hillary Clinton’s data just 5 hours after Trump called for it, then CIA warns the world over Huawei, and Daiquiri Ryan is my guest The Mueller report on Russian influence in the 2016 presidential election found that Russians attempted to hack into Hillary Clinton’s emails just 5 hours after Trump called for Moscow to do so while he was on the campaign trail. It’s just one of the many, many lies and deceptive tactics both Russia and the Trump administration employed during the 2016 campaign season. CIA warns UK over Huawei The CIA told spy agencies abroad last week that China’s People’s Liberation Army, National Security Commission and a third branch of the Chinese state intelligence network, have funded Chinese telecom giant Huawei to supply 5G technology to Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. We reported back in December that Canada arrested Huawei’s Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou for allegedly defrauding multiple financial institutions in order to evade sanctions against Iran. The DOJ has since charged Meng with fraud. And Huawei is currently banned from doing business in the U.S. Huawei is suing the U.S. for the ban saying in part that the ban is politically motivated. Facebook uploaded 1.5 million email addresses without consent Business Insider reported last week that in 2016, Facebook “unintentionally uploaded” some 1.5 million of Facebook users’ emails in order to develop new products and services. Facebook says it’s deleting the data. Twitter left up death threats against Ilhan Omar BuzzFeed News reported that Twitter left up death threats made against Rep. Ilhan Omar. The threats came after President Trump tweeted spliced footage of the Congresswoman alongside footage of the September 11th attacks. Twitter said it left the threats up so that Capitol Police could investigate. Meanwhile, the EU parliament voted in a measure that would fine social media companies for leaving up extremist content for too long. DOJ: Sprint/T-Mobile not likely to survive scrutiny The DOJ’s Antitrust Division told Sprint and TMobile last week that the proposed $26 billion merger of the two companies, in its current form, is unlikely to be approved.

Dr. Imani Woody has a vision and she is bringing it to life. It reflects a lifetime of working at the intersection of LGBTQ, race, cultural diversity, and aging issues. And it is informed by her experience with her own father, an accomplished entrepreneur, who, after entering a "good" nursing home, experienced a decline in self-worth and physical health. She took her father out of the facility, into her home, and reimagined what is possible. The model Dr. Woody has developed is based in research, including her own PhD thesis, which chronicled the challenges of aging, particularly for LGBTQ elders who are most likely to suffer from isolation, discrimination and marginalization, even in "the best" of senior facilities. She formed a nonprofit, and drew on her considerable professional experience with the Whitman Walker Center, the Mautner Project for Lesbians, the AARP Foundation Sage Metro DC and as an appointee to the DC Office of LGBTQ Affairs. In September 2020. she will break ground on the first Mary's Center for Older Adults, communal living for LGBTQ elders.

Emotion regulation: It’s one of the biggest challenges of childhood (and parenthood!). We all want our children to be able to do it, but they struggle with it so much, and this is the root of many of our own struggles in parenting. But instead of trying to get them to reduce the intensity of their emotions, should we instead be trying to reduce the stress they experience from things like a too-hard seat at school, itchy labels, and the scratch of cutlery on plates? Is there any peer-reviewed research supporting this idea? We’ll find out in this, the most frustrating episode I’ve ever researched, on Dr. Stuart Shanker’s book Self-Reg!
