Mark thinks now that the Steelers have Mason Rudolph, they can wait on Aaron Rodgers. He thinks Cam Heyward was joking around for a lot of the conversation on the darkness retreat, but the end was serious to come to the Steelers or not.

Hour 3 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Jay said the Penguins had a little bad luck to start the third period against the Islanders but they had multiple breakdowns. It could be the dagger for a playoff spot. Mark doesn't think Aaron Rodgers news will take a month, but also won't be a few days too. Does Mason Rudolph deserve another chance to start?

This week, Matt was joined by Lindsey Brickle, Director, Workforce & Community Partnerships, and Aarin Clemons, Workforce Manager, with Polaris MEP; the NIST Manufacturing Extension Partnership Center in the great state of Rhode Island. Our conversation covers many strategies for accelerating the pace of progress in bringing new people of all backgrounds and circumstances into the manufacturing workforce to achieve meaningful work and good pay! We talk about Polaris MEP's innovative training program partnerships they have made in their region, to include a CNC training program conducted entirely within a women's correctional facility to equip justice-involved individuals with the skills needed to transition into long-term careers. Polaris is also supporting the expansion of a Uniquely Abled Academy to broaden career pathways for individuals with autism.Our conversation also weaves in the importance of regional collaboration with neighboring states, particularly Massachusetts and Connecticut, to bolster the manufacturing ecosystem. Lindsey and Aarin also emphasize the role of federal funding in enabling these initiatives and bringing together multiple stakeholders. Building trust within communities and engaging with them directly is seen as essential for promoting manufacturing careers.

One in every three US adults has a criminal record that follows them like a lead weight as they look for work. Lina Bankert, managing director and partner in BCG's Chicago office, and Kathleen St. Louis Caliento, president and CEO of Cara Collective, explain that formerly incarcerated people can be model employees. Hiring always involves risk. By partnering with government agencies and nonprofit organizations, companies can set up fair-chance hires for success in the workplace. Many of them, for example, also need help with housing and transportation that agencies can provide.

According to the Eight Point Plan for Housing Justice in Cuyahoga County, those with criminal records are ten times more likely to experience homelessness, and those who are homeless are more likely to be arrested--beginning a vicious cycle for those with a record. These individuals face collateral sanctions (both state laws and administrative rules) that can limit a person's ability to find employment, housing, and more. In fact, the same Eight Point Plan cited that 78% of affordable rentals in the County had long-term bans on those convicted of even minor offenses. With housing prices escalating, more than 20,000 people exiting incarceration in Cuyahoga County every year do not have access to a basic need that is vital for successful reintegration.rnrnYusuf Dahl has been on both sides of the struggle to strengthen America's most vulnerable neighborhoods. As a teenager, he operated a network of drug houses before being sentenced to prison for 10 1/2 years. After his imprisonment, during the depths of the financial crisis, he became an unlikely real estate investor and affordable housing advocate. From a single two-family house in one of Milwaukee's poorest zip codes, Yusuf built a portfolio of over two hundred residential and commercial units and founded an award-winning property management company.rnrnYusuf is a former president of Wisconsin's largest apartment owners trade association and is leading the national effort to repeal the Thurmond Amendment - legislation that imposes a lifetime denial of fair housing protections to persons with a drug distribution conviction. He holds an MPA from Princeton University and an MBA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.rnrnJoin us at the City Club as we hear from Yusuf Dahl on how to break down barriers and empower those seeking to rebuild their lives.

Dr. Khalilah Olokunola, Sr. Advisor, Talentnova, known to many as KO, joins us to share her pivotal role in reimagining human resources for justice-impacted individuals. Her transformative journey from event and set design to spearheading HR innovation demonstrates a steadfast commitment to championing marginalized talent. Through her collaboration with True Colors and establishment of the Disrupt You onboarding program, KO illustrates how HR can serve as a catalyst for genuinely inclusive, purpose-driven, and prosperous workplaces.The conversation takes a deep dive into the nuances of fair chance hiring, revealing that it's about more than just filling positions—it's about tapping into the often-overlooked potential of those who've faced legal challenges. We explore how companies can perform self-assessments, spot allies within their ranks, and embrace interviewing practices that foster inclusivity. By sharing success stories from corporations like JP Morgan Chase and initiatives such as the Second Chance Business Coalition, we underscore how fair chance hiring not only leads to lower attrition rates but also bolsters a company's culture and morale, all while contributing to the larger social fabric.Navigating the intricacies of fair chance hiring isn't without its challenges, yet it offers a horizon of hope for many. We delve into strategies for employers to overcome biases and create environments that are truly inclusive, emphasizing the full person framework in recruitment, considering cognitive abilities, motivation, skills, and resilience. Our engagement with KO brings forth compelling anecdotes and practical insights, culminating in a discussion on the power of resilience, skills-based hiring, and the ripple effect such practices have on communities.

From 02/15 Hour 2: The Sports Junkies debate if Eric Bieniemy got a fair chance during his tenure with the Washington Commanders.

In an emotional conversation, Dez reveals never-heard-before stories and the inner workings of his life and career. Opening up about the dysfunctional relationship between him and former head coach Jason Garrett, the lack of locker room bond between teammates, the feeling of being set up to fail and his complicated bond with the Jones family, Dez talks about how playing for Dallas was a blessing and a curse in one. Bryant says that he was never given a fair opportunity to learn or mature when he reached the NFL, and the media's portrayals of him stemmed from preconceived ideas of who he was.  In order to “X out the negativity,” Bryant became a three-time Pro Bowler and led the NFL in touchdown receptions in 2014. While he may be remembered most for his infamous no-catch against the Green Bay Packers in 2015, he shines a light on the troubles of that season and the pivot he made to survive. Talking about his childhood through his recent attempts to help the future of the game. Whether it was family, teammates, coaches, reporters or friends, Dez is candid about the relationships he cultivated over the years, remaining open and honest when it comes to misunderstood narratives.  Being raised in a different scenario of having a mother who was barely a teenager at his birth created a bumpy road for Dez early on, and with a complex bond to his father, Dez was often independent and trying to make it on his own. Football went from a simple game to his ticket to a new life, and with a mom or dad rarely in attendance, Dez had to self teach hard lessons while trying to find his way. With a life full of adversity, Dez remains himself to this day, and being away from the game as a player has allowed for him to focus on helping others and supporting his family in ways he couldn't be supported as a kid.  New episodes drop on Tuesdays at 12 p.m. ET and Fridays at 3:30 p.m ET on YouTube, with audio available on all streaming platforms including Apple, Spotify and Amazon.

A caller says the idea Mason Rudolph hasn't gotten a real shot is a false narrative. He had the opportunity when Roethlisberger got hurt and didn't rise to the occasion. Good players are not third string players. He's had his chances and hasn't been good. Kenny Pickett defenders stand by him and think he's the future. Josh has gathered the Steelers will not get another quarterback and will give Pickett another opportunity in 2024. 

After going 61-101, there is plenty of blame to go around for what happened to the White Sox last season. How much of it falls at the feet of first-time manager Pedro Grifol?

Plus, Chuck and Ryan McGuffey discuss the situation he walked into after getting hired, if he was the right fit for that team, how he handled the problems in the clubhouse and more.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, Dr. Almitra Berry takes us on a profound exploration of an issue that resonates deeply with all of us: the state of school funding. As we delve into this critical topic, we'll unravel the intricate web of challenges and disparities that surround it. Dr. Berry will guide us through the intricate dynamics of school funding, shining a light on the impact it has on the education, opportunities, and futures of our children. Key Takeaways:School funding is complex, and disparities exist between states and within communities, impacting the education of children.Where you live in the United States can significantly affect how much funding your local schools receive, leading to inequities.Marginalized communities and students of color often receive less funding, resulting in significant challenges and disadvantages.The pandemic exacerbated funding issues, with schools still in need of substantial financial support to recover.Advocacy at the federal, state, and local levels is essential to address school funding disparities and ensure a fair chance for every child.Adequate funding for education is not just about numbers; it's an investment in the future of our society, benefiting all through well-educated communities.Our commitment to providing quality education isn't just a matter of budgets and balance sheets; it's about investing in the future of our nation. School funding isn't just about numbers; it's about the dreams and aspirations of every child.

They solve for inequities in education, childcare, mental health, and other needs in communities that have been marginalized by racism, discrimination, and poverty. These nonprofits are underestimated by national foundations and their accomplishments are underreported by the media. In this episode of Power Station, Gretchen Van der Veer explains how Fair Chance, the organization she leads, partners with small community based nonprofits in Washington DC, whose budgets are often less than $500,000, to strengthen their sustainability and impact. It has flipped the conventional model of capacity building, which imposes fixes to perceived deficiencies and instead partners with groups to create a plan for reinforcing their organizational systems, from fundraising to board development and financial management. These interventions, once assessed, validate the theory that a robust infrastructure produces greater benefits for the children, youth, and families these nonprofits serve. Local and regional foundations that fund small community based nonprofits are essential supporters of equity. Fair Chance is singular resource that invests its time, expertise and commitment to organizations that go all-in for their communities. Gretchen Van der Veer is an exceptional changemaker.

-Mickey had 9 games to try and turn around the in-season mess at Nebraska that Scott Frost left after losses to Northwestern and Georgia Southern. He fired Erik Chinander after one week on the job, and Bill Busch was promoted to DC and has done a very fine job in that role-Mickey can't control the way the roster was constructed, and he can't help that his starting QB got hurt in the middle of a game they were winning (against a ranked Illinois team), and that he didn't have that QB against Minnesota or Michigan.-We knew the deck was stacked against him, but did Mickey get a fair shot at this thing?Show sponsored by GANA TRUCKINGAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
