Today, Cora has her most personal conversation to date. At her home in Maine, she speaks to her childhood friend Graham Platner about his unique campaign for U.S. Senate. Running as a progressive democrat, Graham hopes to change the American system to support working class families and fight the oligarchy."My hope, at its core, is that working people in this country begin to realize that many of the divisive issues that we all find ourselves on opposite sides of are merely there to keep us all divided. And that we can build a real sense of true solidarity with each other over the fact that we all know that the system is not built for us, it is not representing us, and the more of that solidarity that we can build, the more organizing capacity that we can build on the ground amongst working people, the more power that we can take back from the political structure that have left us so unrepresented for so long." – Graham PlatnerGraham and Cora discuss everything from how his military service has influenced his thoughts on foreign policy to the importance of family farms. This is an intimate conversation had in her living room, with Graham sharing his lived experiences that have shaped him into the man who is becoming the political movement of Graham for Maine. About Graham: Graham Platner is a Marine and U.S. Army veteran, oyster farmer, and chair of the Sullivan Planning Board, and candidate running for U.S. Senate in Maine, to defeat Susan Collins and win back the seat for working Mainers. Whether it was enlisting in the US Marine Corps, or coming back home to Maine to work in his community, or running for Senate, at the core of every decision Graham has made has been how he can best serve the people of Maine.After graduating high school in 2003, during the height of the Iraq War, Graham snuck his birth certificate out of his father's office to enlist in the United States Marine Corps. After completing his infantry training, Graham was assigned to Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion 8th Marines and deployed to Al-Anbar Province, Iraq in January of 2005 where the battalion served primarily in the area east of Fallujah. In 2006, he was deployed to Ramadi, Iraq and served as machinegun section leader at the Government Center. He was deployed again in 2007.After his third deployment, Graham enrolled at The George Washington University using the GI Bill. Graham quickly realized that his time serving in uniform was not over. So in 2009, he joined the Maryland Army National Guard. He was deployed to Afghanistan the following year where he served as a rifle team leader. 

He returned from Afghanistan and went back to school at The George Washington University in 2011. Like many veterans, Graham struggled with undiagnosed PTSD and physical challenges that come from heavy infantry combat. Graham eventually withdrew from George Washington University and moved back home to Maine where he used the resources from the Department of Veterans Affairs to get the help he needed.After four tours overseas, Graham was deeply disillusioned with America's failed foreign policy and endless wars and decided to focus on serving his local community in Maine.In 2018, Graham started working on his friend's small oyster farm in his hometown of Sullivan. He quickly felt deeply connected with the sea and the community. He eventually took over the oyster farm and built it into a business that produces high quality oysters. Graham also began a diving and mooring service to help out around the bay, and serves the town of Sullivan as Harbormaster and Planning Board Chair. 

He met Amy Gertner in 2023, fell in love, and got married soon after. They now reside in Sullivan—three doors down from where Graham grew up—with their two dogs Gryffin and Zevon and their cat Neptune.

On this podcast, we've come back again and again to questions around mis- and disinformation, propaganda, rumors, and the role that digital platforms play in anti-democratic phenomena. In a new book published this summer by Oxford University Press called Connective Action and the Rise of the Far-Right: Platforms, Politics, and the Crisis of Democracy, a group of scholars from varied research traditions set out to find new ways to marry more traditional political science with computational social science approaches to understand the phenomenon of democratic backsliding and to bring some clarity to the present moment, particularly in the United States. Justin Hendrix had the chance to speak to two of the volume's editors and two of its authors:Steven Livingston,  a professor and founding director of the Institute for Data Democracy and Politics at the George Washington University;Michael Miller,  managing director of the Moynihan Center at the City College of New York;Kate Starbird,  a professor at the University of Washington and a co-founder of the Center for an Informed Public; andJosephine Lukito,  assistant professor at the University of Texas at Austin and senior faculty research associate at the Center for Media Engagement.

Public trust in government is near historic lows—but a new coalition of federal, state, and local communicators is working to change that. The Bonfire Collective, launched by the National Association of Government Communicators and George Washington University, is rethinking how agencies engage with the public. Their goal: to make government communication more strategic, more human, and more effective at restoring credibility. The group's latest research shows a direct link between how agencies communicate and how much citizens trust them. Here to explain how the Bonfire Collective plans to turn that insight into action is the co-founder of the initiative and Director of Public Affairs for Baytown, Texas, Thomas Reeves.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I could not decide on the right title for this podcast. Here was an alternate now: "Living, Looking, and Feeling Your Best: Nate Scott on Creating Lasting Wealth and Purpose." Nate Scott is a man whose journey from small-town Georgia to combat veteran, West Point graduate, entrepreneur, and executive coach is nothing short of inspiring. Nate's story is one of intentional living, resilience, and a commitment to helping others look, feel, and live the way they truly desire. From the Battlefield to West Point Nate's early dream was to play college basketball, but when that opportunity fell through, he enlisted in the U.S. Army. His life took a dramatic turn during Operation Desert Storm, where at just 19 years old, he made a vow: if he returned home, he would never waste a day of his life. That moment shaped his future, instilling a deep sense of purpose and urgency. While stationed in Germany, Nate was encouraged to apply to West Point — an idea he initially resisted. Yet in 1992, after careful consideration, he decided to attend, graduating with degrees in engineering, computer science, and sociology, and serving as a regimental commander among 4,000 cadets. Discovering the Power of Personal Development Just as pivotal as his West Point education was Nate's introduction to personal growth and entrepreneurship. A chance invitation to a network marketing meeting opened his eyes to the value of continuous learning, surrounding oneself with successful people, and taking control of one's financial destiny. An Entrepreneur's Path Nate's career path was anything but linear. He became a personal trainer, then applied the principles of fitness to business, personal finance, and leadership. He earned his MBA from George Washington University and gained experience as a CFO of a rapidly growing tech company. Along the way, he built a real estate portfolio that led to his first million by age 32. But Nate also faced significant challenges — market downturns, business closures, and personal setbacks. These experiences deepened his understanding of financial vulnerability and the importance of preparation, adaptability, and mindset. Life Is Rich: Addressing the Cash Flow Challenge Today, Nate is the author of Life Is Rich: How to Create Lasting Wealth, a book that serves as both curriculum and coaching foundation. His mission is clear: help people — especially women, who often outlive men and face unique financial pressures — address the very real cash flow dangers that threaten their future security. Nate stresses that finances are 80% behavior and only 20% knowledge. The two largest expenses most people face are taxes and ignorance. By teaching “how to think, not what to think,” he guides clients toward creating sustainable cash flow through entrepreneurship, strategic tax planning, and purposeful living. If you would like to watch our podcast, click here: The Habit Factor Central to Nate's philosophy is the power of habits. As he explains, habits can either drive you toward your goals or pull you away from them — and they work with machine-like precision whether they serve you or not. Changing habits requires intentionality, discipline, and a clear vision of the life you want to live. One of Nate's most powerful coaching questions is: How do you want to look, feel, and live in the last ten years of your life? This future-focused visioning helps clients break free from autopilot living and start making daily choices that align with their desired future. From Individuals to Organizations While Nate works one-on-one with clients, he also coaches teams and organizations. His focus remains on the individual as the asset — helping people align their personal goals with professional success. His “alignment before assignment” mantra ensures that purpose drives action, not the other way around. Final Takeaways Nate leaves listeners with these key points: Alignment before assignment — Know your values and goals before taking on commitments. You are the asset — Invest in yourself first. Focus on how to think, not what to think — Empower yourself to make better decisions. For Nate, life is rich when you have the cash flow, health, purpose, and time freedom to live it fully. His work helps people get there — with a clear plan, disciplined habits, and a vision worth pursuing.

How to Start at the Top: Harrison Wilder on High-Ticket Offers and Entrepreneurial SuccessIn this episode of the Roots to Riches podcast, I had the pleasure of hosting Harrison Wilder, a corporate strategist and entrepreneur with an executive MBA from George Washington University. Harrison, who works behind the scenes with his wife Eileen Wilder, shared invaluable insights into the world of high-ticket offers and how they can transform businesses.We delved into the concept of starting with high-ticket offers rather than low-ticket items, a strategy that Harrison and Eileen discovered after struggling with conventional wisdom. Harrison explained how this approach not only helps in generating significant revenue but also allows entrepreneurs to provide premium services and achieve greater impact.Harrison shared their journey from investing in a publicist and a coach for Eileen's first book to realizing that low-ticket sales were not sustainable. The turning point came when they learned about high-ticket offers and saw the success of others in the industry. This revelation led them to create multi-million dollar businesses by focusing on premium offers.We also discussed the importance of follow-up and immersive sales events to capture the 94% of potential buyers who are not ready to purchase immediately. Harrison emphasized the need for a system that nurtures these prospects and converts them over time.For those interested in implementing high-ticket offers, Harrison recommended the Supernova Challenge, a five-day experience designed to help entrepreneurs create and launch their own premium offers.

In this episode, Sharlee Dixon welcomes Sheetal Shah, founder and CEO of MettaHealth Partners, a consulting firm dedicated to helping public health and social service organizations navigate digital transformation with both compassion and efficiency.

With over two decades of experience supporting value-based care, Medicaid transformation, and health equity initiatives, she brings a global perspective grounded in deep expertise. Sheetal holds a Master's in Public Health from George Washington University, is pursuing an Executive MBA at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, and centers loving-kindness, or metta, in all aspects of her work.
