Most people waste at least half their time doing irrelevant stuff. Be effective: make what you are doing count, by making a difference. Don't put things off; do them now. Have fun: you are best at what you are most passionate about. And in pursuing what you like best, it's important to have fun.

If you only go by the major media or your local college sociology department, you’d think rural America is a hopeless domain of drug and alcohol addiction, downward mobility, and dysfunction. Far from it, at least in rural Maine, where author Gigi Georges decided to spend several years getting to know and tracking several young women as they made their way through the challenges of their small, working class communities. “Downeast” refers to the remote northeastern corner of Maine that is overlooked by tourists, summer sailors, and fall leaf-peepers, and the story Georges tells is one of resiliency rather than the cliche of a downward spiral that is most often summoned to mind for the rural midwest and elsewhere. Downeast is thus a success story of sorts, showing that vital community support networks, both formal and informal, depend ultimately on the shared rootedness of the place, which can’t be replicated or preserved by what she calls “codified institutions.” As such her stories of the five main subjects and their community is a Tocquevillian treatment. Our conversation about this charming and beautifully written book ranges widely from the stories of the five girls to the role and resiliency of the lobster fishing industry, and we have some callbacks to some classic works that bear on the wider subject, such as Robert Nisbet's Quest for Community, and Jane Jacobs' Death and Life of Great American Cities. Georges is a former White House Special Assistant to the President and Communications Director for the New York City Department of Education; she has taught political science at Boston College, served as Program Director for the Harvard Kennedy Schools Innovation Strategies Initiative, and been a Managing Director of The Glover Park Group—a leading national strategic communications firm. She and her family live part-time in Downeast Maine.

Despite Joe Biden's double digit national lead and a string of new polls showing him ahead in crucial swing states, many Democrats are still feeling nervous about the outcome of this year's presidential election. They are haunted by ghosts of elections past. Namely, the 2000 race between Al Gore and George Bush when the fate of the election wasn't determined at the ballot box but within the august chambers of the Supreme Court of the United States. To get a better sense of what is on the mind of the Democratic party faithful, Liam and Scott caught up with Mike Feldman. He was Al Gore's traveling chief of staff during the 2000 presidential election campaign and remembers the drama surrounding that episode all too well. He is currently the Founding Partner & Managing Director of the Glover Park Group.

Tracking off a study done by Glover Park Group in Washington, we look at some of the trends found in polling of what is important to Americans right now and what will be important in their decision-making around firms and commerce going forward.

"We live in a world where your attention is the most valuable thing you have to offer. It’s in some ways even more valuable even than the money in your pocket, or even more valuable than your vote. The things you choose to allocate your attention to — the shows you watch, the news you consume, the social media platforms that you engage on and the conversations that you take part in there — those are going to be the things that shape the world around us." — Arik Ben-Zvi   Arik Ben-Zvi is the executive managing director of the Glover Park Group, a strategic communications and government affairs firm with a global presence. In this conversation we discuss the critical faculties and the moral compass we must cultivate to navigate an increasingly complex mass media and social media landscape.

Christina Reynolds is one of the most well-liked, respected and influential people in progressive politics—and if you listen to this podcast regularly, you’ve already heard her name invoked on multiple occasions by our other guests, so none of that should be news to you. A proud daughter of Jacksonville, N.C., Christina got her start as an opposition researcher on John Edwards’ successful first campaign for the U.S. Senate in 1998, then subsequently worked for the senator twice more when he ran for president in 2004 and 2008. Since those humble beginnings in her home state, she’s made the often-challenging pivot from research to communications—and gone on to work for the absolute biggest names in the Democratic Party, like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, and at some of its most important institutions, like the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, in addition to a wildly successful stint in the private sector at the storied Glover Park Group. Today, Christina serves as the Vice President of Communications at EMILYs List, where she’s working to help pro-choice Democratic women across the country run strong campaigns that will produce big wins in November.

Sexual misconduct. Self-segregating communities. And a crumbling moral compass. In these moments its easy to point to the other guy, blame them, or even mock them. But Tim Miller — a long time Republican Operative, Pod Save America contributor, and presidential campaign strategist — is taking a stand against his own party’s president, and in support of the values that have often defined the best of America’s spirit. Tim Miller specializes in communications and digital strategy. He served as the Communications Director for Jeb Bush 2016, senior advisor to the GOP’s leading anti-Trump Super PAC “Our Principles,” and was co-founder of America Rising LLC and America Rising PAC. He also is a commentator for Pod Save America/CROOKED MEDIA. Between campaigns, Miller was the lead digital communications strategist in the Public Affairs Division of the Glover Park Group advising corporate clients such as Eli Lilly and Sallie Mae. You can catch Tim frequently pontificating on politics on FOX, CNN, and MSNBC.

The White House recently announced a change at the top. Not the very top, of course, but as head of the Press Office. Jay Carney is stepping down; Josh Earnest is stepping up.The White House Press Secretary is, quite often, America’s face to the world. And speaking for the President, sometimes several times a day, the Press Secretary faces many masters – the Commander in Chief, the media, and of course, the American people.So how to balance the competing pressures: For example, protecting information responsibly vs. the public’s right to know? Particularly in these highly partisan times – with POW swaps, VA scandals, Midterms, Obamacare fights and more – how do you balance policy with politics?Few in the role had to walk that line more regularly Joe Lockhart, who served as President Clinton’s Press Secretary. Today he is a Founding Partner and Managing Director of The Glover Park Group, which offers media, communications and political strategy to global corporations and non-profits. He also served as Vice President of global communications for Facebook.
