“Pandemics are a political choice. We will not be able to prevent every disease outbreak or epidemic but we can prevent an epidemic from becoming a pandemic,” says Dr. Joanne Liu, the former International President of Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders and a professor in the School of Population and Global Health at McGill University. You are in for a lot of that sort of frank and clear-eyed analysis in this episode of Raise the Line from Dr. Liu, whose perspective is rooted in decades of experience providing medical care on the frontlines of major humanitarian and health crises across the globe, as well as wrangling with world leaders to produce more effective responses to those crises and to stop attacks on medical facilities and aid workers in conflict zones. Firsthand accounts from the bedside to the halls of power are captured in her new book Ebola, Bombs and Migrants, which focuses on the most significant issues during her tenure leading MSF from 2013-2019.  The book also contains insights about the geopolitical realities that hamper this work, including lax enforcement of international humanitarian law, and a focus on national security that erodes global solidarity. Join host Lindsey Smith as she interviews this leading voice on our preparedness to meet the needs of those impacted by violent conflict, forced migration, natural disasters, disease outbreaks and other grave challenges.

Today on Sense of Soul we have Wonder Bob. He has quested for awareness his entire life. He grew up in a mystery school based on the Knights Templar and became its International President.  After self-financing his engineering degree, he continued as a community leader in neighborhood associations and created a historic district to protect the homes in his Denver neighborhood. As a world peace embassador he traveled the world staying in peoples homes to learn culture and establish international friends. He visited the Soviet Union in 1981 under the Brezhnev administration. After establishing career, marriage, and property, he received a wake up call in 2000.  When asked “What will it take to become conscious?” The universe responded: EVERYTHING.  So he sold all his possessions and donned a backpack allowing universal intelligence to have its way with him.  Surfing the Synchronicity brought him to the Himalayas, the ancient pathways of the Ascended Masters, teaching english in Vietnam, and rediscovering the divine feminine in Asia. On his return to the Untied States Wonder Bob sequestered himself in a 10-year meditation in the wilderness with no running water, electricity, or cell phone service. By letting the earth, nature, and cosmos have its way with him, he accessed his ancient memories and woke up. Wonder Bob shares what he's learned through online classes, personal sessions, music and retreats, at his Mystik Mountain Retreat House in Crestone, Colorado.

A union member since 1996, she's been the International President of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO since 2014.

Our hearts are overflowing with the myriad of ways we could introduce this week's guest, but we'll leave it at: Living Legend. Jeanne O'Connor exemplifies everything it means to "give of talents, time, and song" because that is exactly what she has been doing for over 64 years. Jeanne joined The Village Vocal Chords of Harmony Incorporated at just 14 years old, eventually going on to be their director, leading the group to 20 gold medals. She was also a member of Queen quartets, The Scale Blazers (1964), Esprit De Corps (1974), and U4X (2008). She also lent her voice to winning quartets, Kaleidoscope and Voices, and now sings with Coastal Voices. Jeanne is also a longtime volunteer and member of the International Board, including multiple terms as International President. We *could* go on and on, but we'll let you tune into the interview to learn more!

When corporate profits hit record highs but workers are still fighting for fair pay, safe conditions, and a seat at the table, something's off.In this premiere episode of The Debrief, a special series from Cuckoo 4 Politics, host Michael Desrosiers brings you one-on-one conversations and post-show commentary that go deeper than the main episode ever could. These are the follow-ups, the “after the mic” moments where the real talk continues and nothing's left on the cutting room floor.Michael sits down with Sara Nelson, International President of the Association of Flight Attendants, for a straight-talking conversation about the widening gap between booming business and the people behind it. Why are airline workers still battling for fair contracts in the wake of a post-pandemic surge? What happens when companies flood social media with curated half-truths? And how do you keep people united when the system is designed to wear them down?Sara breaks down what's in the tentative agreement and what's not. She pulls back the curtain on the pressure to settle for less, the reality behind corporate messaging, and the danger of a labor movement losing momentum. Michael and Sara also zoom out to look at the bigger picture: outdated labor laws, the limits of collective power, and why organizing doesn't stop at the bargaining table; it extends to ballots, policies, and public opinion.This is a grounded, no-fluff look at where things stand, what's at risk, and why staying loud still matters.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Introduction01:40 Sara Nelson on Why She Never Backs Down03:08 The Real Power of Worker Solidarity06:06 What Mother Jones Got Right About Labor08:12 The 4 D's of Union-Busting13:05 Clearing Up Misinformation About the Contract15:06 Why Hotel Standards Matter in Union Negotiations20:11 Protections Around Electronic Notifications22:32 Can Labor Laws Actually Be Changed?26:45 Why Healthcare Shouldn't Be on the Bargaining Table28:55 How Corporate Money Distorts Democracy32:55 “We're the Tide”: Sara Nelson's Final Word on Collective Power38:01 The Importance of Voting and Union ParticipationLinkscuckoo4politics.comhttps://www.instagram.com/cuckoo_4_politics/https://www.facebook.com/Cuckoo-4-Politics-104093938102793https://www.tiktok.com/@usercuckoo4politicshttps://bsky.app/profile/cuckoo4politics.bsky.socialPodcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Flight attendants are the face of the airline industry, yet many still aren't paid until the plane leaves the gate—while executives take home millions.Michael Desrosiers talks with Sara Nelson, International President of the Association of Flight Attendants, about what's behind the latest contract fight at United Airlines and why this moment matters for every airline worker. With decades of experience in labor organizing, Sara lays out how outdated laws, corporate tactics, and union density shape what workers can win—and what they're still being denied.The conversation traces the long arc of labor rights in the airline industry, from the aftermath of 9/11 and a wave of bankruptcies to the current push for boarding pay and sit-time protections. Sara explains how the Railway Labor Act limits the right to strike, why Delta's flight attendants are organizing without a contract, and what it really means to bargain under pressure when CEOs are already cashing in.What happens when the face of the airline, its workers, finally demands their share? And what's lost when a contract gets voted down?

But with rising real estate costs, shifting consumer expectations, and an increasingly competitive market, franchise operators face a critical challenge—how to drive profitability while delivering an exceptional dining experience. For decades, the industry has relied on single-brand locations, but a bold strategy is reshaping the landscape. The dual-branded franchise model is emerging as a game-changer, providing operators with a smarter way to scale, optimize resources, and attract a broader customer base. Dine Brands, the powerhouse behind Applebee's, IHOP, and Fuzzy's Taco Shop, is leading the charge with this innovative approach. By bringing two well-known restaurant brands under one roof, they are redefining operational efficiency and customer convenience while creating new opportunities for franchisees. Scott Gladstone, Chief Development Officer & President of International at Dine Brands, is at the helm of this expansion, guiding franchisees through the advantages and unique considerations of adopting this model. The concept of a dual-branded franchise is simple yet highly strategic. Instead of building two separate locations, franchisees can operate both Applebee's and IHOP within a shared space. Customers experience the best of both brands while back-of-house operations remain streamlined, maximizing labor efficiency, inventory management, and overall cost savings. The approach also allows for more flexibility in site selection, making it possible to enter markets where a standalone restaurant may not have been viable. For franchise owners, this model presents a compelling opportunity to diversify revenue streams without doubling overhead expenses. By aligning two brands with distinct peak dining times—IHOP's strong morning traffic and Applebee's thriving lunch and dinner business—franchisees can generate a steady flow of customers throughout the day. This strategic alignment addresses a common issue in the industry, where restaurants often struggle with downtime during off-peak hours. Instead of letting valuable square footage sit idle, operators can optimize their footprint and drive profitability across multiple dayparts. While the dual-branded franchise strategy offers significant financial advantages, it also comes with unique challenges that require thoughtful execution. Maintaining brand integrity within a shared space means ensuring a seamless customer experience, from signage and restaurant layout to menu offerings and service expectations. Each brand has its own identity, and successfully merging them under one roof requires careful design and operational planning. Gladstone and his team at Dine Brands have worked through these complexities, creating a system that balances efficiency with a clear distinction between the two dining experiences. The early success of dual-branded locations has sparked interest from both new and existing franchisees. Some operators are exploring conversions of their current restaurants to adopt the model, while others see it as an opportunity to enter new markets with a stronger competitive edge. Whether through new development or retrofitting existing locations, the flexibility of the dual-branded approach allows franchisees to make strategic investments tailored to their market conditions. As the restaurant industry evolves, the ability to adapt and capitalize on new growth strategies will separate thriving brands from those struggling to keep pace. The dual-branded franchise model is proving to be a forward-thinking approach that benefits both franchisees and consumers alike. By leveraging shared infrastructure, reducing operational costs, and offering guests greater variety, this strategy is paving the way for the future of franchising. For those exploring franchise opportunities or looking for ways to strengthen their current operations, understanding the dual-branded franchise strategy is essential. The shift toward multi-brand concepts is more than just a trend—it's a smart business move that aligns with the realities of today's market. As industry leaders continue to refine and expand this approach, it will undoubtedly play a significant role in shaping the next phase of restaurant growth.

“I did not start out as a writer interested in organized labor,” Hamilton Nolan writes in The Hammer: Power, Inequality, and the Struggle for the Soul of Labor; “I started out as a writer interested in why America was so fucked up. Why did we have such gargantuan levels of inequality? Why were thousands of homeless people living in the streets of cities where billionaires frolicked in penthouses? Why was it that certain classes of people worked hard their entire lives and stayed poor, just as their parents had been, and just as their children seemed doomed to be? Even while labor unions had fallen almost completely out of the public mind, it turned out that they were central to all our most fundamental problems.” In this live episode of Working People, recorded at Red Emma's cooperative bookstore, cafe, and community events space in Baltimore on Dec. 6, 2024, Max speaks with Nolan about his new book, what the ongoing war on workers' rights and unions tells us about the “fucked up” society we're living in, and what lessons labor can teach us now about how to fight and win, even in the darkest of times.

"Nobody has the resources to examine 100% of cargo. The thought of needing to do that was unrealistic, and it took time for customs and the private sector to embrace a collaborative approach." In this episode, we sit down with Erik Moncayo, the International President of the World BASC Organization (Business Alliance for Secure Commerce), to discuss the critical role of supply chain security in international trade, importing, and exporting. BASC is a non-profit organization that works to facilitate secure and efficient trade by bridging the gap between customs agencies and the private sector. Main Points/Takeaways: 1. The Evolution of Customs-Private Sector Collaboration - The initial resistance and "Mexican standoff" mentality between customs and companies when trying to implement trust-based programs like FAST - The gradual shift towards a collaborative approach, where customs and the private sector work together to secure the supply chain 2. Securing the Supply Chain in Latin America - BASC's role in helping Latin American customs agencies build their AEO (Authorized Economic Operator) programs - The organization's efforts to align BASC certifications with international standards like CTPAT 3. The Importance of Facility-Level Security Audits - BASC's annual audits that require companies to conduct internal assessments of their security processes - The analogy of "running a tight ship" to prevent and quickly identify supply chain disruptions 4. The Growing Prominence of Supply Chain Security in Academia - The emergence of dedicated supply chain security degree programs at universities - BASC's efforts to engage with academic institutions at their upcoming global conference By fostering collaboration between customs agencies, the private sector, and academic institutions, the World BASC Organization plays a crucial role in strengthening the security and efficiency of global supply chains. This episode provides valuable insights for anyone involved in international trade, importing, or exporting, highlighting the importance of proactive security measures and the benefits of public-private partnerships.

No matter how many homes you sell or how much money you make, life can throw you struggles you just can't escape. As business owners and parents, our natural response is to try and fix it, but what happens when the situation is one you can't change?  That's what happened to Jim Allen. After facing and overcoming his own health crisis, he's recently been faced with his son's rapid permanent blindness. This is an ongoing situation, and unlike something you overcome, you have to learn a new normal. Instead of trying to fix it, the true task is living with it.  When you're in the thick of something like that, it might be hard to show up as a team leader, but Jim sees it differently.

Her insights and experiences offer a profound look into the heart of Rotary's mission and the incredible impact it has worldwide. As President Stephanie shared, the essence of Rotary's magic lies in the transformation it brings to communities.President Stephanie recounted a moving experience in the Dominican Republic, where she installed water filters in a Haitian home. She described how a young boy, amazed by the filter's ability to produce clean water, exclaimed, “Lady, show me that magic again.” This moment encapsulated the true magic of Rotary for her. It wasn't merely about the water filter; it was about the profound change that access to clean water brought to that family—enabling children to return to school and freeing women from the burden of fetching water miles away.This story beautifully illustrates Rotary's broader mission: creating lasting change. President Stephanie emphasized, “Every single Rotarian or family of Rotary member Rotaract or interactor, everybody who engages in something that creates lasting change has that same magic. We create magic because we provide opportunities for people to make their lives better.”In addition to sharing these impactful stories, President Stephanie also highlighted Rotary's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. She discussed the importance of creating Rotary experiences where everyone feels they belong. “When we create environments that are diverse and inclusive and equitable, we really are moving to creating an environment and atmosphere that does make people feel like this is where I belong,” she said.President Stephanie's dedication to fostering inclusive communities and her passion for creating positive change underscore her vision for Rotary's future. Her leadership is a testament to the organization's enduring commitment to making a difference, one community at a time.tl;dr:* Introduction and Background: Stephanie Urchick, President of Rotary International, discusses her role and the significance of Rotary's international convention in Singapore, where the theme "the magic of Rotary" was highlighted.* The Magic of Rotary: President Stephanie shares a personal story from the Dominican Republic about installing water filters. This story emphasizes the transformative impact of Rotary's work on communities, particularly in providing access to clean water and improving the lives of families.* Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: President Stephanie underscores the importance of creating inclusive environments within Rotary. She advocates for Rotary Clubs to mirror their communities to ensure everyone feels a sense of belonging and inclusiveness.* Polio Eradication Efforts: The conversation includes an update on Rotary's ongoing efforts to eradicate polio, highlighting the progress made and the dedication of frontline workers in challenging regions like Pakistan and Afghanistan.* Community Engagement and Adaptation: President Stephanie discusses the importance of adapting Rotary meetings to be more inclusive and accessible. She provides examples of clubs changing their meeting times and formats to attract a diverse membership, ensuring that more people can participate in Rotary's mission.How to Develop Motivating and Mobilizing As a SuperpowerResults anecdotePresident Stephanie's superpower is her ability to motivate and mobilize people to create meaningful change. She leverages storytelling and personal engagement to inspire others to amplify their efforts and contribute to impactful projects within their communities.President Stephanie shared an inspiring anecdote about a flight from Milan to Delhi where she met a young CEO. Initially dismissive of Rotary as an "organization for old people," he became intrigued after hearing about Rotary's professional development opportunities and mentorship. By the end of the flight, he exchanged contact information with President Stephanie and soon after joined a Rotary Club, demonstrating her knack for connecting and motivating individuals to take action.Tips for Developing the Superpower:* Share Stories: Use personal and impactful stories to illustrate the power and benefits of your cause or organization.* Highlight Value: Clearly explain what's in it for the people you are trying to motivate. Show them the personal and communal benefits of their involvement.* Adapt to Your Audience: Be flexible and tailor your approach to meet the needs and interests of different groups, whether they are young professionals or established leaders.* Promote Inclusivity: Create diverse and inclusive environments where everyone feels they belong and can contribute meaningfully.* Be Present: Engage directly with communities and individuals to understand their needs and how best to motivate them.By following President Stephanie's example and advice, you can make motivating and mobilizing people a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileStephanie Urchick (she/her):President, Rotary InternationalAbout Rotary International: Rotary unites a global network of volunteer leaders dedicated to tackling the world's most pressing humanitarian challenges and creating lasting change.

When Tony Capuano took over as President and CEO at Marriott, the company was wrestling with the most significant challenge it's ever faced as travel essentially shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Further complicating matters, Marriott's beloved, iconic CEO, Arne Sorenson, had recently passed away and many in the company were dealing with the loss of their visionary leader, mentor, and friend. On this episode of Redefiners, Tony talks with Clarke and Hoda about leadership lessons he's gleaned from almost 30 years at Marriott, including his top advice for leaders transitioning into the CEO role. He'll also dig into Marriott's Bonvoy customer loyalty program, sustainability at scale in the hospitality industry, and how technology and AI can help deliver high touch personal service. We'll also hear from Ty Wiggins, an Executive Director in our London office and author of RRA's latest book, The New CEO: Lessons from CEOs on How to Start Well and Perform Quickly (Minus the Common Mistakes). Ty discusses why transitioning into the CEO role is one of the most challenging—and rewarding—moves of an executive's career, and how new leaders can get off to a strong start.

It's Hump Day! Sam speaks with Nicholas Boni, writer, photographer and musician based in Brooklyn, & Cea Weaver, tenant organizer with Housing Justice For All in New York, to discuss Nicholas's recent piece in Jacobin entitled "Social Housing for New York Is on the Table". Then, Sam speaks with John Samuelsen, International President of the Transport Workers Union (TWU), to discuss the prospects of a commuter rail worker strike in Boston, where they've been without a contract for over 200 days. First, Sam runs through updates on the performance of ‘uncommitted' in the Washington primary, the House voting to sort of ban TikTok, questions about more GOP testimony, Trump's legal battles, the House GOP, the Federal Judiciary Committee, US labor action, and aid for Ukraine, before parsing through the recent TikTok “ban” legislation rushed through the House. Nicholas Boni and Cea Weaver then join, diving right into the complete affordability crisis facing New York State, resulting from a lack of existing stable, affordable housing and investment into new permanent, affordable housing projects, and their solution of a Social Housing Development Authority (SHDA), a statewide tenant's rights coalition, funded and supported by the state, that would work to rezone, maintain, rehabilitate, acquire, and construct new affordable housing projects across New York State, relying on a much broader base than existing housing authorities like NYCHA, allowing for them to function on a much broader, and much more effective scale. Expanding on this, Weaver and Boni look at the SHDA as a true public-sector alternative to the speculative role of private real estate, walking through the process and legislation SHDA would rely on in their acquisition of housing and land for maintenance, rehabilitation, and construction, and the role the Authority would play in working with to take over existing housing and establish tenant-run cooperatives. After walking through some real-world lasting examples of this kind of housing infrastructure, Cea and Nicholas wrap up by assessing the current state of the fight, and what to look for moving forward. John Samuelson then joins, walking through the TWU's role representing transit workers across the US, before zooming in on the ongoing issues facing Local-2054, with active profiteering and exploitation from the French company Keolis in their management of Massachusetts' Commuter Rail, all bankrolled by the US taxpayer. After walking through the long battle between the local and Keolis in their ongoing contract negotiations, Samuelson walks through the ongoing exploitation faced by transit mechanics and coach cleaners on the South Side, and the role of the MBTA and Massachusetts DOT in allowing this brutal exploitation. Wrapping up, John Samuelson assesses the future of Local-2054's fight, and what we can do to support them. And in the Fun Half: Sam discusses the future of MR, the bad look for both Merrick Garland and the GOP that is Robert Hur's testimony, and revelations around Trump's active attempt to steal classified documents. Meffi from Texas discusses the dangers of right-wing authoritarian thugs, Sly from Staten Island on the crime-spike myth, and Angela from Alberta explores the progressive factions of Canadian news media. Candace Owens goes on in on the transvestigation of Brigitte Macron, Ken Buck leaves the GOP hanging dry as he kills their House Majority, and A from Washington dives into some context for Brett Weinstein's dishonorable discharge from academia, plus, your calls and IMs!
