Sitting in with Jeff Timmer this week, guest co-host Walt Sorg, one of the founders of Voters Not Politicians and a longtime Lansing political presence. This week: A surprise Democratic victory in a New York special election. Is this a sign of things to come, or a strictly New York phenomenon? New polling shows shoring up of Joe Biden's approval numbers, and widespread support for the major elements of the Inflation Reduction Act. Tudor Dixon's running mate is a little-known former legislator ... who may be just what she needed to avoid a circus-like state party convention this weekend. Two GOP state house candidates face major questions about whether they actually live in the districts where they are running. Joining the conversation is Walt's onetime boss, Governor Jim Blanchard to assess the current Michigan political scene and how much the environment has changed in the 3 decades since Blanchard led the state. Blanchard first came to statewide prominence as a young member of Congress who helped guide through the hugely successful federal bailout of Chrysler Corporation  After serving two terms as Governor, he served as U.S. Ambassador to Canada, and has been a highly successful partner with the D.C. legal powerhouse DLA Piper, a global law firm with lawyers located in more than 40 countries throughout the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific, Blanchard's two terms were highlighted by significant economic growth for the state, led by the state's manufacturing sector. _________________________________________ This week's podcast is underwritten by Practical Political Consulting and EPIC-MRA.

As part of our series on Geology Tom welcomes Robert Quartermain to the show. Bob explains his early background in computer science, living in the maritime provinces. His experience at Baker Lake, Northern Canada with a survey crew lead him to take up geology in university. He discusses his early career, which gained experience working with various mines. He has helped make discoveries in many locales around the world, including some exciting initial discoveries. Furthermore, he discusses reinvigorating Silver Standard now known as SSR mining thanks to Rick Rule and Jim Blanchard. From 1992, they acquired old projects for pennies on the dollar, creating a large bank of silver properties. He explains how that collaboration lead to several big discoveries which became successes for their shareholders. It's important to keep administrative costs low while putting the money into the ground to make the discoveries. This way, you're attractive to those with the capital. If you have good geology, good potential, then you can always raise capital. He explains the differences between mining silver and gold. Producing silver is more difficult as it usually requires off-site processing. Historically, mining wasn't often unkind to the environment, but today most operations have a minimal impact. Mining can create huge value from a relatively small area of land. ESG is helpful in leveling the playing field and can help insure a return to shareholders. North American mining companies tend to bring better stewardship to development around the world. His preference is to work in British Columbia. You want an area where there is respect for the rule of law. Bob has worked in Russia, Africa, Haiti, Latin American and the Middle East. It's important to have a safe and effective regulatory environment where you can build up a mine with minimal risk. This is also important for investors, who should consider the potential risks. It's nice to be able to work in your own backyard and come home. He focuses on investing in the people behind companies with superior track records. There are optimal times when you may want to invest on dips, and then there are opportune times when you may want to exit a position. Lastly, he provides some tips for what investments to avoid in the mining industry. Talking Points from this Episode Robert's background and why he became a geologist.Building up Silver Standard with Rick Rule and Jim Blanchard.Importance of ESG, jurisdiction and why he prefers Canada.Tips and caveats when investing in mining companies.

No matter how you define success in life or business, Jim Blanchard's name lands near the top of the list. In this episode, Dr. Rutland interviews the former Chairman of the Board and CEO of Synovus, a multi-billion-dollar corporation in the financial sector. You'll enjoy Blanchard's modest and authentic account of living out his faith in the thin air at the very top of a financial mountain.

Jim Blanchard joins The Redeemed Man podcast. Jim Blanchard is the former CEO and chair of Synovus Corporation and current chair of JBA Capital. Blanchard has left his distinct mark on the state of Georgia as a business and civic leader, but a true leader, he says, measures his effectiveness not by the number of people he's made to do his bidding but by whether those people feel supported, empowered, and appreciated. That concept of servant leadership that has guided him in his life and career is applicable to people in all industries and all walks of life, he says, as it brings us closer to the model of the original servant leader—Jesus Christ himself. “In the gospels, Jesus is quoted as saying, ‘I came to serve, not be served,' ” Blanchard says. “We have seen what self-serving leaders do and the chaos that they can produce, and we have a desperate need for a change in the leadership model toward the kind of servant leadership that was modeled by Jesus during His lifetime and His ministry.”Visit The Redeemed's website for discussion question sets,  show notes, inspirational articles, and more resources.The Redeemed is an organization giving men from all backgrounds a supportive, judgment-free environment, grounded in Christian love without demanding participation in any faith tradition, where they can open up about their challenges, worries, and failures—and celebrate their triumphs over those struggles.

Wednesday, September 25, 2019 The Cabildo Louisiana State Museum The Louisiana Museum Foundation, Louisiana State Museum, Letters Read, Antenna, and stationer Nancy Sharon Collins bring an intimate, performative evening celebrating our love for history and architecture, and a unique understanding of our relationship with property. A special reading in which professional actors read and interpret contemporary and historic communications surrounding the current exhibit The Baroness de Pontalba & the Rise of Jackson Square at the Louisiana State Museum’s Cabildo. This event weaves the legacy of Don Andrés Almonester (1728–1798), his formidable daughter, Micaela, the Baroness de Pontalba (1795–1874), and specific members of her descendant family into an exploration of our notions of property and property ownership. Special guests include emcee Christopher Kamenstein and Grace Kennedy. About the image: “Spanish Cabildo” by artist Jim Blanchard, 1992. From the exhibition The Baroness de Pontalba & The Rise of Jackson Square at the Cabildo, French Quarter, New Orleans. The drawing was lent by Paul St. Martin and photographed by Advocate staff photographer Chris Granger.

Prominent metals investor Brien Lundin, CEO of Jefferson Companies, shares memories and insights from his three decades in the business. He tells the story of how he met Jim Blanchard, the "ultimate gold bug" who fought for the legalization of gold ownership and took Lundin under his wing. Lundin believes we are at a critical point for investors to protect themselves from the next inevitable crisis. He also hopes to continue Blanchard's legacy by expanding the right to hold and trade gold alongside the US dollar. Show notes: http://goldnewsletter.com/podcast/brien-lundin-how-became-gold-bug/

2/16/18 Bad two weeks for Bill Schuette, who is blasted by John Engler, Jim Blanchard, Brian Calley and Sam Singh for Attorney General's handling of MSU sex predator imbroglio. Long-overlooked major 19th Century political figure William Webb Ferguson, the first African-American elected to the MI Legislature, will be honored Feb. 28 with a permanent portrait in the state capitol.

This week, Daniel Howes says Michigan State’s decision to install former Gov. John Engler as interim president isn’t a big confidence builder. More than anything, it signals the return of an Old Guard comfortable working the cozy corridors of power and its informal networks. And it exposes just how nakedly partisan governance of MSU really is – a board split between four Republicans and Democrats also named former Democratic Gov. Jim Blanchard a “special adviser” to Engler.

Inner conflict causes stress. By contrast, leading a concentric life (i.e., one in which what you do matches up closely with what you believe in and what you say) brings harmony into your world. Harmony is directly related to how often you follow through and do what you know is right. Likewise, harmony is related to how often you demonstrate the self-discipline to refrain from doing that which you know is wrong. Trying to get everyone to do things your way goes beyond stress. It's a frustrating, hopeless exercise that can drive a person mad. I know one wealthy individual, in particular, who long ago lost his ability to think rationally because of his frustration over not being able to force everyone around him to conform to his wishes. I often refer to a principle that I call the Natural Law of Balance. In pointing out that the universe is in balance, I use such examples as electrons and protons, night and day, male and female, hot and cold, and life and death. The reality is that for every positive, there's an offsetting negative, and for every negative, there's an offsetting positive. Balance is the natural order of the universe.   Ralph Waldo Emerson's famous words: "For every minute you are angry, you lose 60 seconds of happiness." The late Jim Blanchard was a great teacher for me in this respect. Jim was one of the most remarkable people I've ever known. When you learn to control your thoughts, you establish the boundaries of negative influences upon your life. Remember, no matter how long a list of stress inhibitors you compile, your mental state will always be the most important factor when it comes to achieving peace of mind People who should listen to this show are entrepreneurs, career coaches,
