Podcasts about government work

Wrongful convictions and AI privacy may seem like separate issues, but both raise the same uncomfortable question: what happens when the legal system relies on old assumptions in a changing world? In episode 618 of the Lawyerist Podcast, Zack Glaser talks with Sunny Eaton about conviction review work, evolving science, and why lawyers should not be so quick to surrender privacy expectations in the age of AI.  Sunny shares how her work in the Nashville District Attorney's Office focuses on reviewing old convictions, identifying new evidence, and helping correct cases where the system may have gotten it wrong. She explains why changing science, including advances in DNA, trauma research, and bias studies, can matter deeply when reviewing criminal convictions.  The conversation then turns to AI, attorney client privilege, client data, and the growing role of data brokers. Zack and Sunny explore whether information shared with AI tools should automatically lose privacy protection, and why lawyers may need to make stronger arguments before courts accept that assumption.  If you are concerned about AI in law firms, client confidentiality, or the future of privacy rights, this episode challenges lawyers to think harder about what should remain private and why it is our job to make the government work for it.   Listen to our previous episodes on AI, Privacy & Legal Ethics.  #612: AI for Lawyers: What You Need to Know Before Your Clients Do, with Cat Casey Apple | Spotify | LTN  #582: Deepfakes, Data, and Duty: Navigating AI Ethics in Law, with Merisa Bowers Apple | Spotify | LTN  #543: What Lawyers Need to Know About the Ethics of Using AI, with Hilary Gerzhoy Apple | Spotify | LTN  #486: How to Safely Include AI in Your Legal Tech Stack, with Will Anoh Apple | Spotify | LTN  Have thoughts about today's episode?

Victoria Lai has lived several careers in one lifetime: presidential appointee at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, entrepreneur, and now business advisor and nonprofit COO. But her biggest pivot came when she nurtured her passion for making ice cream on nights and weekends while working a serious government job. In this extra sweet episode, Victoria walks us through how a $25 Craigslist ice cream maker and a promise to herself led to Ice Cream Jubilee, the award-winning DC-area business celebrated by Food & Wine, the Washington Post, and Thrillist, and what it felt like to eventually sell the business she'd spent nearly a decade building. She also opens up about her family's Chinese immigrant history and how it shaped both her flavors and her sense of purpose, and why she considers her latest pivot back to mission-driven work the most fitting chapter yet.

We say we are all about "making the Gospel relevant..." But what even is the Gospel? Shockingly, you get a different definition in different places. So.. How does the Word of God actually define and describe the Good News?  This is a series about the Gospel in our lives, and this is part one... Justified by Christ.

Steve sits down with State Representative James DeSana (R-Carleton) of Michigan's 29th District to discuss the launch of the Michigan DOGE Task Force Initiative, a new, legislator-led effort aimed at cutting waste, boosting transparency, and restoring accountability in state government. Chaired by DeSana, the task force will focus on identifying inefficiencies, reducing bureaucracy, and making sure taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly. DeSana explains why Michiganders are demanding better results from Lansing, how this homegrown initiative differs from national efforts, and why putting the public back in charge is key to rebuilding trust in government.

What makes time go fast for you, and what makes it go slow...It's a powerful question that might just help you find more meaning and heck, yes even more joy in your work.We see a brighter future, but the system moves slowly. This mismatch can lead to frustration and burnout. What if the secret to creating change wasn't about the system, but about you?In this conversation with Martha Edwards, a public sector veteran, we talk about powerful personal habits that keep her effective and optimistic.In this episode we explore topics like:How to find satisfaction in work that might not bear fruit for yearsWhy the energy you bring to a room is one of your most powerful professional toolsAnd how a simple practice like writing "week notes" can be a hack to recognize your small wins and give you the motivation to keep going.This framing takes the pressure off and allows us to be kinder to ourselves, knowing we've contributed a piece to a larger, longer story.

The United States government is one of the biggest purchasers in the world. Few people or entities spend more money on more goods and services. Add state and local governments to the mix, and you have a massive market with the potential for a lot of businesses to make a lot of money. The process of governments purchasing from businesses, called procurement, quietly hums with billions of dollars every single day. Yet those billions overwhelmingly end up in the pockets of huge corporations and monopolies instead of the local company in your town, which contributes to your local economy and builds local power for your community. This often happens even if that local company is perfectly poised to deliver the exact goods or services needed with top-of-the-line service, speed, and pricing. The game is just rigged.  There are many reasons for this. There are also ways to fight it. Enter Paola Santana, whose company, Glass, is working to revolutionize the procurement process in favor of local businesses. Glass's platform G-Commerce works in many ways to fill the gaps in the procurement process. G-Commerce aims to dismantle the barriers to entry facing small and local businesses. By certifying local businesses and giving them direct access to government purchasers, G-Commerce wants to level the playing field and make small government purchases more possible for local businesses. According to Paola Santana, this is a win-win: local businesses earn lucrative sales, and local governments get better service and even better prices. Paola Santana joins us today on Building Local Power to explain all this and why it's so important.

Education Minister Erica Stanford is not alone in forwarding Parliament and ministerial emails to her personal account - with Nicola Willis and Chris Bishop revealing they're guilty of similar acts. The Cabinet Manual says ministers should avoid using personal mobile and email accounts wherever possible. CISO Lens Country Manager Nadia Yousef says Webmail services like Gmail can be safe if you use a strong password multi-factor authentication - but it's not an appropriate tool for Government use. "Long, strong and unique passwords - it's something we talk about all the time and everyone's absolutely sick of hearing it - but they are the silver bullet with multi-factor."

Today I have the privilege of welcoming Marc Dunkelman to the podcast. Marc is a research fellow in International and Public Affairs at Brown University and the author of a new book, Why Nothing Works: Who Killed Progress—and How to Bring it Back. We begin by discussing a key premise of his book: progressivism is, and always has been, split between a Hamiltonian impulse to push power up and a Jeffersonian impulse to push power down. Marc describes how the later impulse took over left-wing movements by the late 60s and has produced a government that seems startlingly ineffective. How did the "establishment" become so hated? How can our government prove that it is a capable institution? Will Trump's failures give Democrats an easy out and stop a needed course correction? Tune in for a great conversation on all that and more.A transcript of this podcast is available on the post page on our website.

This podcast has featured two stories about government endeavors: the much-criticized infrastructure project known as ‘The Big Dig,' and of course the wildly successful state lottery. So why do these two stories play out so differently?In the final interview episode for this season, host Ian Coss speaks with Marc Dunkelman, a research fellow at Brown University, about why some parts of government draw intense scrutiny while others run quietly in the background. Dunkelman's new book is "Why Nothing Works: Who Killed Progress -- and How to Bring It Back."

Tucker Carlson, John Stossel. Biden Can't Make Government Work, No One Can, Anti-Christian Documentary, 45% Tax on Capital Gains. John Stossel- Why Biden's Just Wrong: NO ONE "Knows How to Make Government Work.” Peter St Onge, Ph.D. -When professional boxers understand the economy better than Harvard economists Biden wants 45% tax on capital gains Tucker Carlson Reacts to New Anti-Christian Documentary   Why Biden's Just Wrong: NO ONE "Knows How to Make Government Work.” During his last campaign, Biden claimed he “knows how to make government work.” But he doesn't! No one doesBiden can't keep track of what he spends, inflation is worse, and our national debt is the highest it's ever been. Economist Ed Stringham says, “It's a hubris that the government knows best.” While government fails to work, the private sector gets things done. Our new video shows ways markets outperform even the best-meaning politicians.

Last week UFC fighter Renato Moicano gave a hard-core victory speech defending liberty and begging people read Ludwig von Mises' "Six Lessons" to save America. So what are the Six Lessons, and how can they save us?   Biden wants 45% tax on capital gains -- nearly half. That would be the highest in 111 years. And it would gut investment. Turns out all those little $60 billions for Ukraine -- or migrants -- weren't actually free. Why all the taxes? Because Biden also wants to ramp up spending to $7.3 trillion per year. That would be 70% above Trump's final pre-Covid year. For all the RINO complaints about Trump's spending, he managed a couple hundred billion over Obama. Biden's pushing 3 trillion. So far.   Tucker Carlson Reacts to New Anti-Christian Documentary https://youtu.be/-dBF_h46ViE?si=1nZ7clAEG1Meu02y Tucker Carlson 1.97M subscribers 281,854 views Apr 18, 2024 #MikeJohnson #TuckerCarlson #Christian How did a self-described conservative evangelical like Mike Johnson wind up supporting the anti-Christian policies of the Biden administration?

What would you think about working one less day and 8 fewer hours each week plus be eligible for overtime pay on a daily basis and benefits?
