Show Notes: Bo Rutledge, a professor and dean at the University of Georgia Law School, opens the conversation by talking about his parents, who made sacrifices to support their children's education, and how he felt called to serve and worked for the governor in California where he met many inspiring civil servants. A Graduate Degree and Long-Distance Relationship In Scotland, he obtained a graduate degree and met his wife Birgit, who is Austrian. They had a wonderful year together overseas and then spent three years in a long-distance relationship while Bo attended law school and Brigit studied to become a teacher. After graduating, Bo clerked for two years, and briefly practiced law in Europe. After the birth of their first child, Bo and Birgit decided to become teachers, Bo as a law professor and Brigit as a foreign language teacher. They have both been teaching for nearly 22 years. Inspiring Students as a Professor and Dean Bo's parents instilled in him an appreciation for education and the power of education. As a professor and dean, he has worked to inspire students about the power of education and the ability to realize their full potential without letting debt hinder them in their careers. In the ten years he has served as Dean, his efforts have led to a significant reduction in student debt and the creation of a generation of people who feel the freedom Bo experienced thanks to his parents. A Law School Crisis Bo faced a crisis in 2014-15 due to a decline in law school applications. Legal education had experienced a 40% drop in national and 50% drop in local applications. To overcome this, Bo focused on the institution's values. Inspired by the belief that “public higher education is the greatest engine of upward socio-economic mobility in our society”, he acknowledged that tuition increases contributed to the student debt crisis and decided not to increase tuition for the students at the University of Georgia Law School. Building Support for Students In conjunction with a freeze on tuition fees, the school also communicated with the school's supportive alumni cohort, who provided financial support, job opportunities, and counsel. They had a team of 125 people, including faculty and staff, who cared about the impact they could have on students' lives who helped support measures taken to accommodate the low intake of students. They cut 7.5% of their operating budget in the first 18 months, and invested in revenue-generating opportunities and fundraisers. As Dean, Bo measured success ruthlessly, using values rather than spending per student. They focused on student success, job creation, and debt reduction. This approach helped the university navigate the crisis and refine its message. Bo talks about how the recession caused a decline in public investment in public institutions, and how he helped drive support for students and inspire students. One Student Success Story Bo shares the reason why one student decided to go to law school, and how the relationship with alumni presented a strong support group for this student. This story has galvanized Bo's resolve to focus on helping students over the years. Bo mentions that one focus of the school is to support first-generation graduates. He emphasizes that higher education is truly special in a world where most people in prior generations and societies couldn't afford or attend college, and it offers the opportunity to connect with a mentor. The Higher Education Affordability Crisis Bo believes that the affordability crisis in higher education is fixable and has written published articles on this topic. He believes that the student loan industry is a mixed blessing. It allows people access to institutions they otherwise couldn't afford, but it also makes it easier for institutions to raise tuition. He also highlights the lack of clear ownership lines or a clear line of accountability to boards and shareholders in most higher education institutions. He learned that, as a dean, one must figure out their accountability mechanisms and constituencies in a world without a simplified structure. In summary, Bo's experience as dean has taught him about the economics of institutions, the difficulty of shaping the culture, and the importance of accountability in higher education institutions. Travel Personally and Professionally Bo has traveled extensively for nearly 40 years. He spent his first couple of years in Vienna, Austria, practicing law at an international law firm. Two places that stuck with him were Budapest, Hungary, and Ostrova, Czech Republic. He shares stories of the people he met and how their experience gave him insight into living under communist rule. He has also traveled to countries like Poland and India, where their university traditions are both historically rich and still very nascent, and how they are inspired by the education system in the U.S. Bo has had the privilege of meeting people from different backgrounds and this has allowed him to understand the challenges and opportunities faced by students in different countries, and to bring these experiences back to the university. Influential Harvard Professors and Courses Bo mentions professors Michael Sandel, Dennis Thompson, and Stanley Hoffmann. He cites Sandel's justice class as an inspiration for a course he teaches to undergrads on moral dilemmas, which, in addition to the course topics, focuses on teaching the ability to discuss and debate socially divisive topics. He mentions Dennis Thompson's teachings on Political Ethics and Public Policy, Stanley Hoffman's teachings on Ethics and International relations, and Paul Pierson and Mark Peterson. Pierson taught Bo how to have faith in his ideas, while Peterson taught him how to write. He believes that Harvard is both intellectually intimidating and liberating, as it allows students to confront ethically nettlesome issues.

Misty Skolnick, co-owner of Uncle Jerry's Pretzels in Lancaster County is our first guest on the program today! Misty shares how her co-owner father Jerry began the company in 1988--delivering pretzels in the Delaware Valley--as well as the company's growth and development from local business to having a national presence. Uncle Jerry's Pretzels have been free of oil, sugar, preservatives and article dyes since the company's inception. Skolnick discusses how this comes into play today, with new Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s recent warnings to PepsiCo, General Mills and other large food companies that one of his top priorities will be eliminating artificial dyes from our nation’s food supply to combat growing rates of chronic disease and other health issues among Americans. Retired FBI agent Scott Payne also joins the show to discuss his new book, Code Name: Pale Horse: How I Went Undercover to Expose America's Nazis. Payne, a decorated agent dubbed the “Hillbilly Donnie Brasco,” takes readers along with him on some of the most terrifying and riskiest assignments in FBI history. He went deep undercover with the lethal Outlaw Motorcycle Club in Massachusetts; to the front lines of the opioid epidemic in Tennessee; and infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan in Alabama. Through it all, he stayed married to the love of his life, raised two girls, and spent his Sundays at church, sustained by family and faith.

State Sen. Tracy Pennycuick (R-Berks/Montgomery) is a 26-year Army veteran who flew missions in Iraq, so she knows how to handle an ugly fight. But she tells DVJournal's Linda Stein that some of the ugliest things she's seen involve the new ways AI is being used to generate child porn. Now she's using her position as chair of the Senate Communications and Technology Committee to fight back against this high-tech form of child abuse.Pennycuick also talks about the spike in political violence, most recently in evidence at the Pennsylvania governor's mansion when an arsonist set the building ablaze as Gov. Shapiro and his family slept inside.The problem of political violence is also addressed by former Delaware Valley congressman Jim Gerlach, who is part of the bipartisan Democracy Defense Project. Their goal is to build trust in America's political institutions and push back on those who turn to extreme rhetoric to attack our democracy.Hosted by Michael Graham with InsideSources.com.

In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview T. Brad Kielinski, Founder of IT Pros.Brad shared his journey from growing up in Plymouth Meeting near Germantown Academy to becoming a successful tech recruiter in Philadelphia. Inspired by witnessing his uncle and aunt's homegrown business grow to 400 employees and his father's inventive spirit, Brad gravitated towards entrepreneurship early on. His career path began with internships in IT and eventually led him to work for various tech recruiting agencies before launching IT Pros in 2011. His approach to building the business included founding a LinkedIn community in 2009 that connected tech professionals throughout the Philadelphia region, focusing on networking and knowledge-sharing without sales pressure. Brad explained that IT Pros' early focus was on venture-backed startups and smaller, less-known companies within the Delaware Valley region. Over time, the company deliberately avoided working with large corporations with skewed terms and instead concentrated on agile, fast-moving businesses and manufacturing companies modernizing their environments. His method of fostering organic growth through community-building and strategically choosing clients has been key to IT Pros' sustained success.Witness Brad Kielinski's approach to thriving in the tech industry by choosing the right clients and building a strong community on this episode of The First Customer!
