Hour 3 - Good Monday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour: President Biden is taking questions from the press after meeting with China's Xi Jinping. ABC News has a story about what "woke" means. ABC writes, "The term has been used by some conservatives as an insult against progressive values." Officials say a noose was discovered at the site of former President Barack Obama's presidential center in Jackson Park in Chicago. Ann Coulter has a scathing piece about former President Trump and the candidates that he endorses.
The proposed Tiger Woods-designed golf course in Jackson Park is backed by a number of politicians including Barack Obama. But critics say the development creates a number of issues. Walter gives his perspective.

They named the band REO Speedwagon from the REO Speed Wagon, a 1915 truck that Ransom Eli Olds designed. Doughty had seen the name written across the blackboard when he walked into his History of Transportation class on the first day they had decided to look for a name. Oldsmobile introduced the concept of outsourcing Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients so here's one of those. [Mother's Brewing Ad] Dave Young: Hey, welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast. Dave Young here, along with Stephen Semple. Stephen, when you told me today's topic, I got all nostalgic. When I was probably 15, my sister's a year older than me so she had just turned 16 and our first car, she got to drive as a driver and I got to drive as a student driver and then eventually as a driver, was a hand me down. My grandmother's 1971 Oldsmobile 98 with a 455 big, big engine. That thing was a land yacht. Four barrel carburetor. Should not put that in the hands of kids 16 years old, but I think my dad's thought was, well, it's got a lot of sheet metal. We're going to talk about Oldsmobile. Stephen Semple: We are going to talk about Oldsmobile and one of the big reasons why I felt like we need to talk about Oldsmobile is when it comes to the mass assembly line and a lot of that innovation that happened with automobiles, Henry Ford gets a lot of credit and deserves a lot of credit, but there was a bunch of innovation that happened before Ford, that if it didn't occur Ford wouldn't have been able to do what he did with the moving assembly line. And I think it's a lesson that has been lost to history. Ransom Olds deserves much more credit in history than they've gotten so that's where we're going to explore a little bit. Again, before Ford could do his moving assembly line there was a bunch of innovations that had to happen and the car makers that we all know today, this is now the interesting part when we go back to history, car makers we all know today were not the first car manufacturers. We all think this whole thing of first in is the one that wins. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Well in the automotive industry all the players that got in first are all long gone. It was the second wave that became the dominant players. The first car maker in the United States was James Duryea, who made the first Duryea automotive in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1893. We've never heard of them. Dave Young: Who? Nah. Stephen Semple: Right. They ended up getting the money for doing it because there was a race that was held, this 54 mile race that went from Jackson Park in Chicago to Evanston and back again and it was held on Thanksgiving day in 1895 and they won this race. Dave Young: 54 miles. That's just like an average commute now. Stephen Semple: And it was $2,000 prize money. So they got this $2,000 prize money and all the recognition from it and started to make cars. And the first car that they made was the Duryea Motor Wagon and they started making those cars in the 1900s. And they basically made, I think it was about 13 or 14 vehicles before it was all ended. Dave Young: They had not figured out the mass assembly line. Stephen Semple: No, and by 1900 there was a hundred different brands of horseless carriages being marketed in the United States. All of a sudden there was all of these manufacturers, but they were all virtually handmade and as we know were all outrageously expensive and it was cars were perceived as a toy for the rich. Now Ransom Olds was a son of a blacksmith and he ...

The Obama Presidential Center isn't the only major development hoping to call Jackson Park home. For years, Tiger Woods' design firm TGR Design has proposed a PGA-caliber golf course on the South Side. The proposed 18-hole course would combine the Jackson Park and South Shore golf courses, complete with new facilities, practice holes, and a $30 million underpass at 67th and South Shore Drive. But it could also mean the loss of affordable greens, removal of trees, and potential destruction of the South Shore Nature Sanctuary as it currently exists. We talk with Tracy Raoul, Chairperson of Jackson Park Golf Association, Emily Dupree, the Hyde Park resident behind the Twitter profile Save Our Sanctuary. Rendering of course from TGR Designs Full statement from Chicago Park District: "As the City's leading greening stewards, the Chicago Park District is committed to preserving and expanding the city's parkland and tree population within our 8800-acre footprint. Our commitment is underscored by the fact that we plant 3000 trees annually and converted nearly 1100 acres of underutilized space to valuable parkland over the past decade. These investments improve our communities and greatly contribute to the lives of children and families throughout our city. As with any capital endeavor that requires the removal of trees, the District is committed to replacing each tree as part of the project scope. The Jackson Park/ South Shore document released is a draft proposal and any references related to reducing the tree count has not been considered or approved by the Park District, and therefore should not be considered a finalized plan.” It's the last day to let us know what you think of our daily newsletter, and enter to win a $100 Visa gift card!

Hello listeners! In this episode, reporter Ray Dubicki and I talk about golf: a sport that continues to leave a large foot print on American cities, despite declining in popularity. The topic has taken on added significance in Seattle in recent years for a few reasons, most notably because of the presence of Jackson Park, a 27 hole golf course and driving range, that will be walking distance to two Link light rail stations in the future. But there is a lot more to learn about the impact of golf on cities, so we hope you'll check the episode out. Additionally, The Urbanist has published some great articles dedicated to the topic of golf courses in Seattle over the years, and we'd like to draw your attention to a few here:It's Time to End Public Subsidies for Private Golf CoursesUnlike Seattle, Golf Really Is DyingLet's Tee Off for HousingSeattle Parks Vaunts Golf Courses as Urban Wildlife Habitat, But Some Cry FoulGrowing a Neighborhood Around 130th Street StationDraft Plan Inches Toward Modest Upzones around 130th and 148th Street Link StationsShare The Cities Lays the Community Engagement Groundwork at Jackson ParkWant to share your thoughts with us about this podcast episode, or others, or suggest a theme for a future episode?

Construction is underway on the Obama Presidential Center in Jackson Park. But since the project launched, residents in nearby neighborhoods like Woodlawn and South Shore have worried the “transformation” the center is expected to bring to the South Side could push them out of their homes. They've fought for a community benefits agreement to ensure protections, but project leaders — and the former president, himself — have rejected calls to sign one. So what is a CBA? And without one, how else are housing activists fighting displacement? Guests: Dixon Romeo — Organizer, Not Me We Sarah Conway — Senior Reporter, City Bureau Here's City Bureau's guide on community benefits agreements and alternatives.

This week's guest has been behind the scenes in Chicago politics for years, but just out of the frame. He's crossed paths with Rod Blagojevich and Jesse Jackson Jr., worked on the Clinton/Gore campaign in the same political organization as a young Don Harmon and Phil Rock. But for the bulk of his career, he's worked for the Obamas, starting as a paralegal to Michelle Robinson at the law firm of Sidley Austin - not long before she and a hotshot Harvard grad named Barack Obama got married. About 20 years after first meeting the Obamas, Michael Strautmanis is now very much in the frame as executive vice president of civic engagement at the Obama Foundation. He discusses not only the progress on the Obama Presidential Center's construction in Jackson Park and the foundation's fundraising efforts, but also concerns around housing affordability nearby, what it's like as a guy who grew up mostly on the North Side to be handling a project with a big South Side impact, and how the foundation might play a role in addressing gun violence. Strautmanis also talks about what it takes to be a good “fixer” – a political problem solver – and the biggest political mess he ever had to clean up. Remember that beer summit back in 2009?
