Podcast appearances and mentions of fisher building

Access Contemporary Music has just released the second season of their PBS series Songs About Buildings and Moods in which they commission music inspired by historically and culturally relevant buildings and film a performance of the piece in the building that inspired it. Host Seth Boustead features new pieces by Liza Sobel Crane, Ledah Finck, Michael Kropf, Amy Wurtz, Felipe Perez Santiago and Danielle Eva Schwob inspired by the Stony Island Arts Bank, Peabody Library, Fisher Building, the Wrigley Building, a former convent in Mexico City and the Brooklyn Tower.

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) Begins with a 30m meditation and is followed by a Dharma Talk. (Group discussion has been removed.)

Once you find purpose, and once you find style… what's left? Beauty. What's left is finding and putting out beauty into the world.   There are not many writers who have genuinely figured this out … but one of them is Mitch Albom. Mitch is the author of '​Tuesdays with Morrie​,' the bestselling memoir of all time, as well as '​The Five People You Meet in Heaven​' and his latest bestseller '​The Little Liar​' which came out in 2023 and debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list. His books have sold over 40 million copies. Mitch just doesn't turn off. He's like a Tasmanian Devil. He's hosting a ​radio show​, he's on TV, he's writing columns in the ​Detroit Free Press​, he's a musician, he's even running an ​orphanage in Haiti​. Mitch is full of energy and life and moves quickly and talks quickly … and so we talked about that. We go deep into why he moves through life so fast. We unpack his relationship with Morrie and talk about how I actually misinterpreted parts of the book. We talk about what the worst thing you can say to an artist is (which he learned from Maya Angelou) and what the true enemy of getting things done is (and surprise, it's not time or energy). Fly down to Detroit with me and let's take the elevator way, way up the 96-year-old ​Fisher Building​. Let's enjoy the wise Mitch Albom sharing his 3 most formative books with us in this classic chapter. Let's flip the page to Chapter 15 now...

Michigan State University Interim President Teresa K. Woodruff elaborates on topics she covers in her June 2023 Spartan Community Letter, which you can read by clicking on the communications tab at president.msu.edu. “The campus has a different rhythm in the summer, but we've got a lot going on as we kind of round out the end of summer session one and move into summer session two. And I'm really excited about that. And we really do have a great foundation for success, and we do appreciate the Board of Trustees engagement and approval this month of our budget. And that budget really does prioritize compensation. “For me, the administration, and the Board of Trustees, our employees really are our most important asset and underlie all our strategic aims, particularly in student success. And so we did prioritize the compensation. That is a very important and welcomed part of this budget. The other thing I would just highlight is that the Board has approved the new recreation center. It's going to be on Shaw Lane, kind of between Birch and Harrison.“And we still have recreational facilities right now. Students and folks can still be in IM West and other places on campus. But when this is completed in a couple of years, that's going to really be a great first in class space. And that truly is about student success. Ensuring that our students have those kinds of places that they can recreate and relax and take care of their health and wellbeing, that represents a really important asset and something that we're delighted to work on. What is important that that budget has been approved and we're moving forward.”And the budget also includes $8 million in new investments in campus safety initiatives that Vice President Lynch is leading. “He's been doing a great job, and he's been talking with a lot of folks around the community. We've had a lot of community input. One of the things we've done is to work in partnership with Ingham County, and we now have a lot of outdoor signals that will now be co-opted to use for emergency settings like we had this last semester. We've got more green light emergency phones that include cameras. We're putting new door locks across campus, and that's happening daily. And we are going to be opening our campus security operations center, which really is an integrated system security that allows for a lot of real time monitoring. That's critical.“I want everyone to know how grateful we are to the community for the outpouring of support through the Spartan Strong Fund. We closed that fund after raising $2 million from about 4,200 donors. That really is an extraordinary outpouring of support for our students, faculty, and staff. And I just want to give, as a proxy for all those individuals, a great big thank you for their support. And about 300,000 of those dollars is going to go towards a memorial.” Speaking of the Board, you recently gave them your second annual strategic plan update. I know you live and breathe that strategic plan every day. What is some of the progress you'd like to highlight today as the plan indeed evolves?“We prioritized and funded advising last year. This is allowing us to add more advisors to our ranks and to develop professional opportunities for those advisors. And that's exciting. It allows for students to have more access to those individuals who can help them along their journey. We also, of course, wanted to highlight our employees in our strategic plan through our honorifics. And this includes university distinguished professors and the various honors and awards that we provide to our staff. But we're really making a concerted effort to ensure that everyone is recognized in ways that, for our humble folks around here, Russ, as you know, they often just do the great work and say, ‘Well, don't shine that light on me.' We want to make sure that excellence of our employees is recognized.“We also have a goal, which I think some people were surprised by, of a billion dollars in annual research expenditures by 2030. And we are going in that direction. We're now at $759 million, and that's important for all of us. We have our sustainability goals. We're at number two in the Times Higher Ed for the whole United States. We're number two in the entire U.S. for sustainability. And our DEI goals are ones that we continue to build year on year. This includes in our healthcare colleges, where we've increased our number of students of color by more than 10 percent. Around the state, you visited our extensive footprint in Grand Rapids. You announced an investment in the iconic Fisher Building in Detroit and highlighted our role in Lansing's regional community at an address at the Lansing Economic Club. “We're building in all the places and spaces that are relevant to our educational mission. This includes our investment office's purchase of majority ownership in the Fisher Building in downtown Detroit, part of the New Center of Detroit. It's also right adjacent to our collaborative partners, the Henry Ford Health Care system, as well as the Pistons. And this partnership is really going to help us toward our commitment of reducing health disparities, particularly in Detroit, by using our research acumen to build better care for every zip code across the state of Michigan.“I also have been working in Lansing. We have an annual economic impact across the Lansing regional area that's just remarkable. And we've just announced a community initiative called BELIEVE. I believe in Lansing, and many people do as well. It's co-chaired by April Clobes from the MSUFCU. We're going to bring excellence to Lansing through investment, empowerment, vision, and energy. That's BELIEVE. Bringing Excellence to Lansing through Investment, Empowerment, Vision, and Energy. And later this summer, I'm going to be on some dairy farms and out in some fields. I'm going to be at a cheese factory. We really have a great deal of wonderful activity across all 83 counties of Michigan, and I'm excited to be a part of that.”Final thoughts?“It's summer, and it is thought that these are slower, more serene days on campus. And I think they are in some ways, but there are also great things that are happening as everyone gets ready for this next fall season of education. And I'm just so thrilled to be able to elevate to our community some of these great things that are happening at Michigan State.”Listen to “MSU Today with Russ White” on the radio and through Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your shows.

Inside its 26th-floor offices at the Fisher Building, Christman Company has a special souvenir that hangs on the wall with ties to an iconic moment of political history.Joe Luther, vice president and general manager of Southeast Michigan Operations, spilled the beans during this week's podcast of how Christman ended up with a piece of the platform where then-president Barack Obama stood during his first inauguration in 2009.“We've got one of the pieces of plywood actually in the Fisher Building… come down to the office and see where Obama stood,” he said. “Two little Sharpie half circles that say left and right. It's just exciting to have that piece where he stood that day.”It's long been known that the Lansing-based general contracting firm builds the platform used by the incoming president at inaugurations in Washington D.C. – they did it for Barack Obama in 2009 and 2013, for Donald Trump in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020.And they plan to bid again in two years. The whole platform is wood, and several pieces get saved and reused for later years. But for that one piece, it has a place of honor on the wall in Luther's boss's office.“That team out there really enjoys that project. It's a smaller project for that region, but a really exciting, high-profile project. And I think they've got the method now pretty well licked,” he said. “There's a short time to set it up and a short time to tear it down. And we're certainly excited to be a part of it.”Christman, which was founded in 1894 and has been doing business in Michigan for more than 100 years, has plenty of other projects closer to home. They include the renovation of the Michigan Central Station in Corktown, the Accident Fund national headquarters in Lansing, multiple Detroit Public Schools projects and the redevelopment of the GSA Theodore Levin U.S. Courthouse in Detroit. Luther has been with the company since 2008 and said it has grown from 300 employees to almost a thousand across the country during that time. He spoke to Crain's about:1:25 - His career trajectory and how Christman Co. has changed over time2:25 - How they are handling labor shortages3:25 - What is being done to bring new people into the trades7:30 – Overcoming rising building costs9:30 – Delayed projects10:40 – Handling union battles11:50 – Other challenges in the industry12:40 – How they choose their projects14:25 – If preservation strategy in Detroit needs to change16:15 – Christman's tie to the presidential election and a very special souvenir18:05 – Why going after clients is more important than projects20:15 – How to promote diversity in the construction industry22:25 – The importance of mentorship23:35 – Life outside of work24:25 – His biggest failure and how he overcame it

During an interview with Crain's reporters, Peter Cummings, executive chairman and CEO of Detroit-based The Platform LLC, said his company and other members of the iconic New Center area high-rise's ownership group have been interviewing prospective buyers the past two weeks and expect to finalize which one moves forward to put the property under contract and enter due diligence. In addition to the Fisher Building, Cummings also discussed the state of the residential market, his company's ups and downs since its inception, and the state of Opportunity Zone financing, among other issues. 

There's a lot of talk about toxicity and division. You can see it when you log onto social media, or turn on certain stations. You'll see a sour-faced television presenter or hear a loud radio host who is here to convince you that some group, that “they” - whoever “they” are - are the reason things are bad. But the template for that came from Southeast Michigan, starting in the late 1920s and running through the 1930s. If you listen to recordings of Father Coughlin - known as the radio priest with the full name of Charles Edward Coughlin - you'll hear the echoes of the discord we have today. He led a church at 12 Mile and Woodward in Royal Oak; and broadcasted from the Golden Tower of the Fisher Building, syndicating anti-semitism throughout the nation. Coughlin supported the policies of Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and other, let's just say, not great people. He questioned the value of free elections. He shared and endorsed fraudulent texts that outlined a conspiracy for Jews to take over the world. He even had a militia in New York that followed his orders. And here's the kicker. He was so popular the Royal Oak post office was built to support all of his fan mail. In order to move forward, we need to know our past. So meet Andrew Lapin who has made a whole podcast called "Radioactive," a multi-part series that dives into the story and how Father Coughlin manipulated radio for his own ends. Be sure to check it out here: https://www.tabletmag.com/podcasts/radioactive Plus, a couple things to know around town.

Lauren Fisher grew up in Alaska—both in the city and in a very remote, fly-in only region. Today she lives in rural Wisconsin on a burgeoning homestead with her husband. She has a dog, a cat, several rabbits and chickens, and will hopefully have goats or a cow very soon. Lauren is dedicated to building up household resilience, which, for her family, means trying to develop more and more food options that they can raise, grow, forage, and hunt themselves. But she'll also be the first to tell you that these sorts of efforts have to start small. She doesn't own acres and acres of land, but instead, she's found creative ways to practice producing local food and build up her efforts gradually. In addition, she and her husband have cultivated many important skills for self-sufficiency like sewing, building, and electrical work—and they're always seeking to learn more. But for Lauren, these sorts of skills are not just about sustaining her own family, they're also about being part of a larger community. In this conversation on The Bottom-Up Revolution podcast with Rachel Quednau, Lauren talks about how she's gotten to know her neighbors after moving to the area a few years ago, and how they support each other through both the good times and the tough times.   She offers advice for those—yes, even introverts—who want to better connect and make friends with their neighbors. Lauren's focus is on abundance and sharing, on finding the bounty of talent and goodness in yourself and those around you, and strengthening a community with those building blocks.  Additional Show Notes “#DotheMath on Chicken Regulations,” by Lauren Fisher “5 Places to Meet New People to Join the Strong Towns Conversation,” by Lauren Fisher “Creating Housing Opportunities in a Strong Town” - our newest Strong Towns Academy course Sign up for Strong Towns email.

Parts of Metro Detroit got as much rain in five hours as they'd normally get in two months, overwhelming our aging sewer and drainage system. I-94, as of this recording, is still flooded. The Fisher Building sits dark without power due to a substation being out. Thousands of basements were filled with water, and countless personal items lost across Detroit, Dearborn, the Grosse Pointes, and elsewhere. There's a lot to this story, and with such a catastrophic failure, there's no one answer. But a big part of this is climate change. Our infrastructure, in some cases built as much as a century ago, wasn't designed for this new climate we find ourselves in today.  So not only do we need to update our aging infrastructure, to help stop this happening again we need to think better. And do that, we need to understand climate change and how it plays into everything and why organizations like the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department as well as residents need to be aware of it and prepare for it. To give us a bigger lens, Sheril Kirshenbaum. She's a scientist who through her work at Michigan State University, PBS, and other places helps increase the understanding of science and improve communication between scientists, policymakers and the public. She's also the co-author of Unscientific America: How Scientific Illiteracy Threatens our Future. We're gonna talk about not just the flooding, but how it all works together. Our food. Our health and safety. Economy. And that not all hope is lost, but action is needed. Listeners have been asking for ways to help. Here's a link to volunteer with the City of Detroit to clean out the basements of the elderly and disabled. The city will provide protective gear: https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/4a7bc7eb369b41f9a0edd71d63c0cbb6 Here's a link to Sheri's work: http://sherilkirshenbaum.com And her Twitter: https://twitter.com/Sheril_ Of course, thanks to our members who make this show possible.

Today on REV On Air we are having a conversation on sustainability, female entrepreneurship and the challenges and opportunities of truly ethical fashion with the iconic Eileen Fisher. Eileen started her fashion brand in 1984 in the most organic of ways, with $350 of her own money, and has now turned it into a company of over 1000 people and more than 65 stores in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Throughout this time, Eileen has remained true to her vision of the company and in recent years has redoubled her efforts to make the company a beacon of sustainability as one of the bigger fashion players. When I first spoke to her, I was shocked at how humble, committed and passionate she remains about everything they do at the company. Nearly 30 years from it’s inception, Eileen remains an active, intrinsic part of the day to day running of the brand and is constantly seeking new and better ways of doing things. We found Eileen’s passion for what she does and what she believes in infectious, and she has done things her own way since the beginning. We also discuss how the pandemic has made her consider how to truly leave the brand as sustainable as possible. This episode covers recycling and innovative fashion, ethical business practices and female entrepreneurship.

Monte grew up in Palo Alto CA then spent 2 years traveling the world as part of his college experience followed by several years at a religious commune in AZ before a 20-year career in software. For the past 10 years he has been Director of Care and Recovery at Menlo Park Presbyterian church where he hosts a number of support groups as well as prayer teams and support volunteers like those in the Stephen Ministry that we'll be talking about. Since late 2010 he has also been Executive director of Achungo, (http://achungo.org/about/) a US non-profit that builds and supports schools for orphans in southwest Kenya with over 700 students currently in their care. He has been married for 25 years and has 3 adult sons and an adult daughter who had been orphaned in Russia. Raising 3 boys was a steep-learning experience that taught him a lot of patience and adaptability. Surviving the divorce of his first marriage was an experience of coping with excruciating adversity. From his children in Kenya who, if they are fortunate, grow up in mud huts without water or electricity, he has learned the true meaning of resilience. And from the many individuals in his support groups and who come to him for a listening ear and prayer and for resources to help them in their pain and struggle, he has learned that hardship can be a door to a resilient life. https://menlo.church/menlopark/serve/stephen-ministry https://menlo.church/sanjose/connect/support-recovery to reach the host: https://www.facebook.com/catalystforchangestories catalystforchange20@gmail.com YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdWXiilXqrHS4YhmkVc8hBg/

Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel wants to build a new jail, because the current one is a squalid death trap. On June 19, he plans to ask a special meeting of the county board of commissioners’ Records and Public Safety panel for approval of the $375 million project, plus the OK of ballot language for a tax to pay for the bonds that would pay for it. It’s not clear how much the tax millage would be or whether this would constitute a tax increase for residents. But for a generally tax-averse county, this one could get problematic, fast. Oh, and there’s a new attempt to thwart the new Gordie Howe International Bridge, this time via an addition to a state budget bill that would prohibit the state from spending any money to finance its half of construction. You know, even though Canada is reimbursing us 100% of the costs. Will wonders never cease? Elsewhere, we run down: Security guards in downtown Detroit began a strike today, though it’s unclear how widespread it actually is. The city has broken ground on the Joseph Campau Greenway, a 1.2-mile non-motorized path that will run parallel to the Dequindre Cut.

[Facebook] Beyond Juice, the Madison Heights based food retailer, will open its second Detroit location on the ground floor of The Platform. Shinola is selling love locks that you can hang in Parker’s Alley. And there’s a cash flash event planned for a stretch of Grand River Avenue seeing reconstruction on June 26. You can learn more about the event, which aims to support neighborhood businesses in Detroit, at DiscoverDetroitD1.com. Thanks for listening to Daily Detroit.

On today’s show, we break down the top 10 restaurants in Southeast Michigan as determined by users of Open Table for February. Of note: None of them are in the city proper, while one’s in Flint and another is in Ann Arbor.

We talked about the possibility this would happen on an episode last week, and Jer has some more thoughts about what Amazon’s equity stake could mean. Elsewhere: “The Russian Five,” the documentary about the legendary Detroit Red Wings that helped the team establish a dynasty in the ’90s, is launching next month at theaters across Michigan.

It's a sad day for Detroiters who were fan of the TV show of the same name. Comedy Central today opted against bringing the buddy comedy "Detroiters" back for a third season, co-star Sam Richardson announced via Twitter. On today's show, we wax nostalgic about the beloved but short-lived show. Jer speaks with David Demuth, president and CEO of Southfield-based Doner, the real-life ad agency that was the arch-nemesis of the show's fictional Cramblin Duvet advertising firm. How'd the show settle on Doner as its foil? Elsewhere, we report on the other news that has Detroit talking — that HopCat is doing away with its popular Crack Fries out of deference to the reality that crack is a horribly addictive drug that has devastated families and whole neighborhoods in places like Detroit. The actual fries and recipe will remain, however. Which leads us to talk about our favorite fries. Yes, our show today gets absurd, fast. Elsewhere, we run down: A new snow-plowing protocol in the notoriously under-plowed city of Detroit A planned expansion of Oakland Community College's downtown Royal Oak campus (the Daily Tribune has the full story) The Detroit auto show inks a seven-year deal keeping it at Cobo through 2026 And some holiday fun including Santa Claus, beer tasting and classic arcade video games are coming to the Fisher Building lobby on Saturday.
