This week's Mid-Atlantic felt like reading classified memos in the group chat, except the group chat accidentally included a journalist and the memos were about bombing Yemen. Host Roifield Brown and his panel of sharp minds, Aram Fischer in Oakland, Denise Hamilton in Houston, Steve O'Neill in London, and Leah Brown in Broadstairs, looked at two transatlantic absurdities: national security leaks from Team Trump 2.0, and a British Labour government budgeting like it's still 2010.In the US, cabinet officials used Signal to discuss military strikes in Yemen, adding a reporter to the chat by mistake. The conversation quickly turned from emoji-filled incompetence to existential dread. Denise Hamilton called it what it is: “a cabinet of convenience and fealty,” while Aram Fischer reminded us that when the “vibes” run the state, reality bites hard. Bombs fell, 53 people died, and somehow no one resigned.Across the pond, Chancellor Rachel Reeves delivered a Spring Budget that sounds progressive until you read it. Welfare cuts, frozen benefits, and a forecast of a quarter-million more people—including 50,000 children—falling into poverty. All while wealth remains virtually untaxed. The panel didn't hold back. “Tories in all but name,” Roifield declared, with Steve admitting he didn't vote Labour to get austerity rebranded with a red rosette.Takeaway: If this episode had a moral, it's this: Government by vibes kills. And Labour's soft technocracy might just be Tories on mute.5 Pull Quotes:“This is not a cabinet of excellence. This is a cabinet of convenience and fealty.” – Denise Hamilton“They added a journalist to the Signal thread and thought, ‘Eh, it's fine.' That's where we're at.” – Aram Fischer“Nothing really matters as long as the vibes are right.” – Aram Fischer, summarising MAGA foreign policy“Labour's playing a long game with no message. That's a strategy with a short shelf life.” – Leah Brown“You knew what the Tories stood for. I've got no idea what this lot stand for.” – Roifield Brown Hosted on Acast.

On this episode of Mid Atlantic, host Roifield Brown, broadcasting from sunny Oakland, takes on a transatlantic feast of political intrigue with guests Aram Fischer, Cory Bernard, Denise Hamilton, and Mike Donahue.In the U.S., Kash Patel's confirmation as FBI director raises alarm bells about the erosion of institutional integrity. Denise calls it “catastrophic,” while Aram points out the grim normalization of political weaponization. The panel digs into Robert F. Kennedy's new role as health secretary, questioning what it means for evidence-based policy when a vaccine skeptic helms public health. Trump 2.0 looms large, with concerns about transactional diplomacy in Ukraine and a revamped "America First" agenda that feels all too familiar.Across the pond, the UK's proposed youth mobility scheme sparks debate. Cory argues it's a pragmatic fix for Brexit's labor shortages, but Mike warns of political skittishness. Nigel Farage's departure from Reform UK has mixed implications—could his influence truly wane? Kemi Badenoch's warnings of Western decline also come under the microscope, with the panel parsing whether this is a genuine call to unity or a veiled push against multiculturalism.Notable Quotes:“We need these institutions to work, and they are being compromised from the inside out.” — Denise Hamilton“It's a hostile takeover of government, plain and simple.” — Aram Fischer“If you think the park ranger was keeping you from living your best life, maybe reevaluate.” — Denise Hamilton“Farage knows how to speak to regular people, but that doesn't mean he's good for them.” — Mike Donahue“We need someone to present a vision of Britishness that feels real—not just a reactionary echo.” — Cory Bernard Hosted on Acast.

This episode of Mid-Atlantic examines the latest political and economic turmoil on both sides of the Atlantic. In the US, Trump's sweeping executive orders, including plans for an immigration detention center at Guantanamo Bay, signal a hard-line second-term agenda. His tariffs threaten global trade, while his federal appointments prioritize loyalty over competence. Across the UK, immigration dominates headlines as the population surpasses that of France, fueling debates over national identity, economic necessity, and post-Brexit trade strategy. Meanwhile, China's DeepSeek AI has sent shockwaves through Silicon Valley, raising questions about the West's technological dominance and the future of work in an AI-driven world.Logan Phillips, Denise Hamilton, Dave Smith, Tonye Altraide, and Michael Donahue break down the real motives behind Trump's policy blitz, the UK's struggles to reconcile border control with labor shortages, and whether AI will lead us toward utopia or economic collapse. With a mix of analysis, frustration, and a few well-placed snarky remarks, this episode tackles the intersection of power, populism, and technology.Notable Quotes:Logan Phillips: “Building an immigration detention centre at Guantanamo Bay? It's cruelty for the sake of spectacle.”Denise Hamilton: “You can't negotiate with someone willing to cut the throats of his own people just to stop minorities and women from succeeding.”Michael Donahue: “AI is going to rule our lives in 30 years anyway—enjoy it while it's still fun.”Dave Smith: “Britain keeps trying to reclaim a role it held by force, not by consensus. Maybe it's time to figure out what we actually want to be.”Tonye Altraide: “We've allowed people to redefine Britain as something it's not. This country is supposed to be about fairness, inclusion, and dignity.”Further Reading:Race to the White House – US Election ForecastsThe Guardian: UK Immigration and Economic PolicyBBC: AI and the Future of Work Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, host Roifield Brown leads a lively panel discussion on the recent debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. The panel, featuring Denise Hamilton, Logan Phillips, Aram Fischer, Michael Donahue, Dave Smith, and Tonye Altrade, analyzes Harris's strong performance, which many viewed as a decisive victory that left Trump on the defensive. Despite Harris's commanding presence, the polls haven't shifted dramatically, leading to a deeper conversation on the reliability of early polling and the enduring stability of Trump's base.The group dissects Harris's strategy of contrasting substantive policy points with sharp jabs at Trump, which effectively kept him off-balance throughout the debate. They also explore the broader implications of the debate for key swing states like Pennsylvania, where viewership was notably high. Despite some skepticism from panelist Logan Phillips, who cautions that Trump's support remains more resilient than expected, others argue that Harris's poised approach might gradually erode Trump's appeal, particularly among undecided voters and key demographics.Quotes from the Episode:1. "Kamala's basic pattern was, say something substantive about policy, then close with a jab that made Trump want to punch her." — Aram Fischer2. "I want a leader that does their homework, that cares enough about me to prepare." — Denise Hamilton3. "Kamala just got lucky enough that it came up on the debate stage. He's been saying some wild stuff." — Logan Phillips4. "We have got to get out of this post-truth season of how we interact with each other in America." — Denise Hamilton5. "For whatever reason, Trump does not have the same effect on people. And I don't think you're going to see his supporters running for the hills after that debate performance." — Logan Phillips Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode of Mid Atlantic, Roifield Brown leads a deep discussion with an expert panel on two major developments: the Democratic National Convention (DNC) and the suspension of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s presidential campaign. With voices spanning from Texas to the UK, the panel provides a well-rounded analysis of these pivotal moments in U.S. politics.The panel explores the significance of Kamala Harris's rise as the Democratic presidential nominee, marking a historic moment for both women and people of color. Denise Hamilton underscores the flawless execution of the DNC, comparing it to the Avengers assembling—a moment of unity and strength for the Democratic Party. The convention is lauded for its inclusivity and intentional messaging, aiming to connect with a diverse electorate. Denise emphasizes the importance of this moment, not just as a political milestone, but as a turning point in American leadership.The panel delves into the standout moments from the DNC, particularly the speeches delivered by Kamala Harris, Michelle Obama, and Barack Obama. Leah Brown reflects on the emotional resonance of Harris's speech, especially for African American women, and how it redefines what is possible in American politics. Denise and Iris Shapiro discuss the Obama speeches, noting their impact on the audience and how they contrast sharply with the rhetoric from the Republican side. The humor and humanity in these speeches, especially Barack Obama's jabs at Donald Trump, are highlighted as effective tools in engaging the electorate.The conversation also covers the generational shift within the Democratic Party. Roifield Brown and the panelists discuss the symbolic passing of the torch from figures like Hillary Clinton to Kamala Harris, marking a new era for the party. Leah Brown notes the importance of this transition, not just in terms of age, but in the approaches and policies that resonate with younger voters. There is a consensus that while Kamala Harris represents continuity in some respects, she also embodies the change that many Democrats are eager for.The issue of reproductive rights is identified as a key battleground in the upcoming election. Denise Hamilton asserts that beyond just female reproductive rights, there is a broader struggle for personal freedom against increasingly restrictive policies from the Republican side. The panel agrees that this will be a central issue for the Democrats, particularly as they appeal to women and younger voters who are deeply concerned about their autonomy and rights under a potential Republican administration.The episode concludes with reflections on the challenges ahead for Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party. While there is significant excitement and momentum, the panel acknowledges the need for clear policy positions and continued engagement with voters. The upcoming debates, particularly between Harris and Donald Trump, are anticipated to be critical in shaping the final stretch of the election.Five Notable Quotes:Denise Hamilton: "I've been swimming in a putrid sea of mediocrity for the last few years, and I think we really turned the page of expecting excellence."Logan Phillips: "It's going to be hard to make Kamala Harris look weak. Very hard."Iris Shapiro: "Kamala Harris's nomination isn't just a relief; it's a surge of excitement that's going to carry us to November."Leah Brown: "Kamala Harris has reoriented and de-weaponized what it means to aspire to the highest office with grace, poise, and intelligence."Roifield Brown: "For all of this sense of hope and joy, I don't know what new Kamala Harris is truly saying."

Mid-Atlantic - conversations about US, UK and world politics

In a seismic shift in American politics, Vice President Kamala Harris is now the presumptive Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential election, following President Joe Biden's withdrawal. This unexpected turn of events has ignited both enthusiasm and apprehension among Democrats and political pundits alike.On today's episode of "Mid Atlantic," Roifield Brown navigates this political earthquake with an esteemed panel: Dave Smith from London, Logan Phillips from Washington DC, Zee Cohen Sanchez from Nevada, Mike Donaghue from Los Angeles, Corey Bernard from Manchester, and Denise Hamilton from Jamaica. The discussion spans Harris's impact on the Democratic campaign, her polling status, and strategic shifts needed by both parties.Polling Shifts and Historical Parallels Logan Phillips kicks off the conversation by analyzing polling data, noting that while Biden was trailing Trump by about two points, Harris's numbers mirror Biden's but lack historical reliability. Drawing a parallel to Hubert Humphrey's late surge in 1968, Phillips suggests the true impact of Harris's candidacy will become clearer in the coming weeks.Enthusiasm Among Key Demographics Denise Hamilton highlights Harris's traction among younger voters, people of color, and women. Hamilton, who was on a historic Zoom call with 40,000 women, shares the palpable excitement and organizational power rallying behind Harris. She emphasizes Harris's qualifications and the need for experienced leadership over personality-driven politics.Potential Republican Strategies Corey Bernard and others discuss the likely Republican pivot to focus on Harris's perceived weaknesses and a more aggressive campaign strategy, emphasizing issues like abortion and crime. However, the panel agrees that such attacks may backfire, especially given Harris's diverse support base and the fresh energy she brings compared to Biden.Foreign Policy and Progressive Stance Dave Smith and Zee Cohen Sanchez weigh in on Harris's foreign policy moves, such as skipping Netanyahu's address, which could appeal to younger, more progressive voters. They debate the balance Harris must strike between continuity and presenting a rejuvenated Democratic vision.Vice Presidential Choices The conversation rounds out with speculation on Harris's potential VP picks, with Mark Kelly and Josh Shapiro being top contenders. Both bring swing state appeal, but Shapiro's potential to avoid a Senate seat loss for Democrats makes him a particularly strategic choice.Quotes from the Episode:"Harris's polling mirrors Biden's, but we need to see where this race actually is in three weeks." – Logan Phillips"We have done the impossible and the incredible time and time again." – Denise Hamilton"The Democratic Party has made a stance, right? They need Jewish donors." – Zee Cohen Sanchez"I think they'll go heavy on portraying her as an uber-liberal, but it's a strategy that could easily backfire." – Corey Bernard"Skipping Netanyahu's address was the right move politically and morally." – Logan Phillips Hosted on Acast.

Mid-Atlantic - conversations about US, UK and world politics

Mid Atlantic dissects a chaotic week in American politics marked by an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump and the consequential nomination of J.D. Vance as his running mate. Host Roifield Brown, broadcasting from Birmingham, leads a panel including Ira Shapiro, Michael Donoghue, Denise Hamilton, and Aaron Fisher, who share their insights and reactions to these seismic events.Panelists' Initial Reactions:Denise Hamilton was home watching a 90s movie when she heard the news. She believes it was the act of a mentally ill individual rather than a politically motivated attack.Michael Donoghue Appreciates the Democratic leadership's denouncement of political violence and hopes for a quick return to political normalcy.Ira Shapiro sees this incident as another tragic example of America's endemic gun violence. He believes it has already started to fade from public focus, returning to the pre-assassination political landscape.Aram Fischer was driving back from a progressive political conference. He hoped the shooter wasn't from the left and emphasised the potential catastrophic consequences if Trump had been seriously injured.Key Discussions:Polarisation and Violence: The panel agrees that the assassination attempt highlights the dangerous polarisation in American politics, reflecting deep societal divisions.Impact on the Election: While some panelists think the attempt might briefly shift public sympathy towards Trump, they don't believe it will significantly alter the tight race between Biden and Trump.Trump's Nomination of J.D. Vance: The panel sees Vance's nomination as a cynical move that reinforces Trump's base rather than expanding his appeal. Vance's controversial past statements and policy stances are seen as unlikely to attract younger voters or moderates.Final Thoughts: The assassination attempt, while shocking, seems to have limited long-term impact on the political landscape. The Democratic Party faces internal debates over Biden's candidacy, while Trump's choice of Vance suggests a doubling down on his core support rather than a strategic shift to broaden his appeal. The episode underscores the intense and often volatile nature of contemporary American politics.Quotes:"The attempted assassination shows just how dangerous our political divisions have become." - Ira Shapiro"Trump's nomination of J.D. Vance is doubling down on his base, not expanding it." - Denise Hamilton"My first thought was, I hope he's not seriously injured. And I really hope the shooter isn't on my side of politics." - Aram Fisher"It's a reminder that our political rhetoric needs to be toned down." - Michael Donoghue Hosted on Acast.

As American school children, we learned it by heart, and recited it every day."I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America..."But how often did we then, and do we now, think about the meaning behind the words? "...one nation. Under God. Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."IndivisibleWhat does it mean to be indivisible? It's a question Denise Hamilton explores with intelligence, empathy and disarming approachability in her groundbreaking debut as an author."Indivisible: How to Forge Our Differences into a Stronger Future" grabs you by the throat on page one of the Prologue, and doesn't let you go.Through deft storytelling, research and personal reflection, Hamilton challenges us to re-think what it means to build diversity and inclusion in a polarized world where the words and the concepts are increasingly demonized.It's Not About a ChecklistHamilton is a nationally recognized workplace culture and DEI expert, and CEO of WatchHerWork, a digital learning platform for professional women.She has helped hundreds of companies recognize that meeting their DEI goals, if they still have them, is not about a checklist.It's about helping organizations figure out what their guiding principles are -- and whether they choose to act on them.It's about maximizing the gifts of everyone involved so that they and the organization can thrive.Beyond the WorkplaceWhat's so powerful about Hamilton's approach is that it applies far beyond the workplace into every aspect of our relationships, both professional and personal.The book is chock full of examples that allow you to see yourself in a given scenario, and then challenges you to re-examine your beliefs.It reveals the power within each of us to enact positive change, and gives us the tools to do so.Denise is a return guest who first shared her thoughtful perspective with the OVM community shortly after we launched.We couldn't be more proud to have Denise back to share her powerful new book.It's exactly what we need to help unify our fractured world.Support the show

Denise Hamilton from Houston, Cory Bernard from Manchester, Tonye Altrade from London, and Zee Cohen Sanchez from Nevada explore various topics including the Maui wildfires, King Charles III's coronation, the 'Keith Lee Effect', and the Titan Submersible tragedy.Maui Wildfires:Zee Cohen Sanchez discusses the devastating wildfires in Maui, highlighting their unexpectedness in a place not typically prone to such disasters. The conversation delves into the broader context of climate change, the political divide over its acknowledgment, and its profound impact on communities, both in terms of displacement and the predatory nature of the real estate market following the disaster.Coronation of King Charles III:Cora Bernard speaks on the historic coronation of King Charles III, touching on its significance for the British monarchy and its symbolic value. The panel debates the cost of the ceremony against the backdrop of economic crisis and austerity in the UK, with differing views on the role and relevance of the monarchy in modern society.The Keith Lee Effect:Denise Hamilton brings up the 'Keith Lee Effect,' named after Keith Lee, a former MMA fighter turned TikTok sensation known for boosting struggling restaurants with his reviews. His story is used as a lens to discuss the power of social media in creating positive change and supporting small businesses, particularly minority-owned establishments.Titan Submersible Tragedy:Tanya Altrade addresses the Titan Submersible's implosion, which occurred during an expedition to the Titanic wreckage. The incident serves as a grim reminder of the consequences of ignoring safety protocols and industry standards, with parallels drawn to the broader themes of corporate hubris and the dangers of unchecked ambition.Key Quotes:"What was most devastating about the Maui wildfires was not just the severity, but the aftermath – the displacement of working and lower-class people and the predatory real estate market." – Zee Cohen Sanchez"The climate crisis is a tangible reality, not a political debate. It's time for action, not denial." – Denise Hamilton"Keith Lee's social media influence exemplifies how we can use our platforms to bring positive change and support small businesses." – Tonye Altrade"The Titan Submersible disaster highlights the dangers of corporate recklessness and the importance of adhering to safety and regulatory standards." – Cory Bernard Hosted on Acast.

A few weeks ago, we shared one of our most used resources called The SCARF® Model. This model uses neuroscience to assess people's motivation and summarizes five domains of threat or reward - status, certainty, autonomy, relatedness and fairness. Now let's talk about The Great Resignation or as Denise Hamilton @officialdham coined it #TheGreatReimagination . What did these last few years teach us and how do we bring it back to The SCARF® Model? Join on this episode where Liz makes Shara take an assessment at 9pm the night before. They discuss their results - there are some surprising ones and others make a lot of sense.

As we approach another anniversary of Houstonian George Floyd's death, I SEE U examines company and organizational initiatives that had been triggered once calls for racial justice and global protests erupted two years ago. But are employers today fully committed to these measures of growth? Experts say many companies are simply checking boxes and have no real intentions of undergoing major, meaningful change when it comes to fostering and promoting a diverse, equitable and inclusive environment. How long can a company sustain itself when much of its diverse workforce rushes to the exit door? Join host Eddie Robinson as he facilitates unguarded conversations with NPR's DEI Manager, Whitney Maddox and DEI strategist, Denise Hamilton, for fresh, new insight and perspective on the future of these initiatives. We also explore how notions of leadership and accountability are tested when there continues to be a lack of genuine commitment and oversight as well as limited support of adequate resources.
