In this deeply moving sermon, our guest speaker, Kevin McCarty, dives into the challenging topic of death and how our culture often denies its reality. Kevin shares his personal experiences from working in hospice care, where he was surprised to find that the peaceful, elderly person passing away in their sleep is not the common scenario. Instead, he explains how our society's attempt to avoid or control death through healthy lifestyles and other means often leads to increased anxiety and suffering.Kevin encourages us to reconsider our views on death, acknowledging that no matter our efforts, it is an inevitable part of life. He challenges the idea that we are entitled to a long and easy life simply because we make healthy choices. This sermon is a powerful reminder that while we can strive for wellness, we must also come to terms with the reality of our mortality.This message is not just about death, but about finding peace in the face of it, understanding that our hope and security lie beyond our earthly lives. Kevin's thoughtful reflections will help you navigate these difficult topics with grace and a renewed sense of peace. Don't miss this opportunity to gain a fresh perspective on one of life's most profound realities. Watch the full sermon now and be encouraged to live with greater clarity and purpose.
Nationwide, over half of all high school students are required to take a course on personal finance to graduate. In California, it's just 1%.A ballot initiative proposed for the November ballot would change that. The California Personal Finance Education Initiative is a statewide ballot measure that would require "essential personal finance education" for every California high school student. Backers submitted 900,000 signatures to qualify for the ballot in March, and the measure appears poised to be certified by the Secretary of State.The initiative has strong bipartisan support from the public - a 2022 poll from the Public Polling Institute of California found that 85% of Californians believed that a course in basic finance should be required - and has the endorsement of State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond. We are joined by Tim Ranzetta, teacher, entrepreneur and one of the leading proponents of the initiative. We asked him why this measure is necessary, and, how it stacks up against Asm.

On March 27, 2024, “Testament: Story of Moses” premiered on Netflix. Spectrum correspondent Kevin McCarty interviews series producer Kelly McPherson about the docudrama approach. By using a docudrama (documentary and drama) approach, the viewer is led through the Exodus account in a vivid fashion, while also receiving wisdoms and insights from passionate scholars, theologians, and historians. These speakers represent all three traditions that hold Moses as a prophet, being the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic faiths.By engaging with the story in this manner, McPherson hopes to cause emotional responses in the viewer. For those who may not already know the story to see the enduring quality of it, showing why it still speaks to something within us to this day. And to add new layers and surprises for those who think they might know this epic story.Grounded in the humanness of Moses, this fresh look into one of the most epic stories of all time brings together many elements of storytelling in a new way. The result is an incredible journey for both newcomers and those returning to Moses' story.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
An explanation about Prop 1 which would fund mental health services. Also, Sacramento mayoral candidate - and current state assemblymember - Kevin McCarty. Finally, local girl scouts speak with an astronaut aboard the International Space Station. What is Prop 1 on the Ballot? Voters will decide whether to overhaul how California funds mental health services. Proposition 1 is tied to the state's crisis of homelessness, mental health and addiction. But it is complex. One piece would authorize a $6.38 billion bond to build permanent supportive housing and treatment beds. Another piece would redirect mental health services funding from counties to the state - shifting away from existing county services like outpatient treatment and crisis response, and instead focusing more on housing and personalized support services. CapRadio Health Care Reporter Kate Wolffe breaks down the arguments surrounding Prop 1 ahead of the March 5 primary. Sac Mayoral Candidate Kevin McCarty Throughout this month, we've been devoting Thursdays to have conversations with the leading candidates for Sacramento mayor. Today we welcome current state Assemblymember Kevin McCarty - who was previously a Sacramento city councilmember before moving to the State Legislature. He joins us about why he's the best fit for the city, and his top priorities if elected mayor. Note: Assemblymember McCarty placed $2 million in the 2022 state budget to help pay for construction of CapRadio's new downtown studios. He has since put that funding on hold. Girl Scouts Speak with ISS Astronaut The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) program aims to get young people interested in space, radio communications, and STEM fields. This year, a group of Sacramento Girl Scouts was selected to contact an astronaut aboard the International Space Station via a Ham radio they built themselves - with the help of the River City Amateur Radio Communications Society. Scouts Edie Blanke, Fred Dasinger, and Ainsley Fong from Troop 1089 join Insight after speaking with American astronaut, Lt. Col. Jasmin Moghbeli.

Governor Gavin Newsom pledged this month to veto a bill that would ban tackle football for children under 12. Sponsored by Sacramento assemblymember Kevin McCarty, the bill was designed to protect children from the potentially debilitating long-term effects of repeated head injury. But even as evidence of its potential harm mounts, youth football culture in California is deeply ingrained, with the state producing talented players and successful teams year after year. Advocates for youth tackle football say that it fosters community and camaraderie, and provides access to education and upward mobility. We'll look at the culture – and future – of youth tackle football in California. Guests: Kate Wolffe, health care reporter, Cap Radio Albert Samaha, investigative reporter, Washington Post; author, "Concepcion: Conquest, Colonialism, and an Immigrant Family's Fate" and "Never Ran, Never Will: Boyhood and Football in a Changing American Inner City"

Event about making working California environments safer and more fair. Sacramento mayor candidates answer questions ahead of the March primary. Sacramento favorite Simon's Bar & Cafe to close. What Is a Good Job Now? California workers enjoy some of the strongest legal protections in the country, but many still face workplace abuse or unfair labor practices. On Wednesday, Oct. 18 at 6 p.m. on the West Steps of the state Capitol, an in-person and livestreamed speaking event called “For Fairness in the Workplace” will highlight these challenges, as well as steps for potential change.

Who is Running for Sacramento Mayor CapRadio Sacramento Government Reporter Kristin Lam shares her conversations with the candidates currently running for Sacramento mayor ahead of the March 2024 primary election. Four people have announced campaigns for mayor: Epidemiologist Flo Cofer, former City Council member Steve Hansen, state Assembly member Kevin McCarty, and former state lawmaker Dr. Richard Pan. They responded to questions on issues ranging from homelessness to music to the city government structure. Editor's notes: Steve Hansen joined CapRadio's governing board in 2021, after he left the city council. He resigned from the board late May 2023, prior to launching his mayoral campaign. In 2021, as a state senator, Dr. Richard Pan steered $1 million in state budget funding to CapRadio to help pay for construction of CapRadio's downtown studios. Assembly member McCarty placed $2 million in the 2022 state budget to help pay for construction of CapRadio's studios. Sacramento Restaurant Openings and Closures Sacramento's restaurant and bar scene has come a long way over the years. It has evolved from chain and corporate-owned restaurants to an oasis of diverse, award-winning restaurants. But just as the restaurant industry was seemingly reaching its fullest potential, the pandemic settled in, disrupting what might have been Sacramento's food renaissance period. And restaurants are still trying to find their footing in an economy squeezed by inflation and a workforce that has yet to fully return to pre-pandemic levels, especially in the downtown area. And while some classic spots like Simon's Bar & Cafe have announced they are going out of business, the news isn't all bad. Several new spots are opening up. Sac Bee food and drink reporter, Benjy Egel, joins us with the latest comings and goings and gives an update on the Sacramento restaurant economy in the Capital City.

Aux États-Unis, la chaîne Fox News a été épinglée par Joe Biden pour la diffusion d'images minimisant l'assaut sur le Capitole, le 6 janvier 2021. Cela ça n'a pas été du tout du goût du président Biden. Dans une émission phare de Tucker Carlson, Fox News a diffusé des images obtenues du président républicain de la Chambre des représentants Kevin McCarty. Des images qui tendaient en effet à atténuer la gravité de l'invasion du Capitole par plusieurs milliers de manifestants. On sait aujourd'hui qu'il y a eu de nombreuses violences pour pénétrer dans l'enceinte parlementaire.Des émeutiers partisans de Trump se sont livrés à un véritable assaut contre le bureau de Nancy Pelosi, la présidente de la Chambre, des caméras de surveillance ont filmé un énergumène en train d'attaquer à la batte de base-ball des policiers, on a même retrouvé deux bombes artisanales à proximité du congrès. Mais selon Fox News, il n'y avait qu'un « petit pourcentage » de vandales et la grande majorité des gens étaient pacifiques. Évidemment, cela tend aussi à minimiser la responsabilité de Donald Trump dans cette émeute. Ce que Biden conteste en parlant de « conclusions blessantes et trompeuses » à propos de cette émission. « Plus de 140 policiers ont été blessés le 6 janvier », a-t-il rappelé mercredi.Mensonge délibéréSi le président insiste là-dessus, c'est aussi parce qu'il sait que Fox News a délibérément choisi de mentir en donnant un écho à des soutiens de Trump parlant de fraude électorale. Deux fabricants de machines à voter réclament du reste des milliards de dollars à la chaîne pour les avoir diffamés. C'est parce que Rupert Murdoch a déposé sous serment devant la justice du Delaware, à la demande d'un de ces fabricants, qu'on sait que oui, le magnat se doutait bien que l'accusation d'élection volée était un mensonge ; que oui, ses présentateurs avaient bien relayé cette version, souvent d'ailleurs sans y croire eux-mêmes comme l'ont montré leurs textos. Mais que, non, il n'avait rien fait lui Murdoch pour s'y opposer.Calcul, cynisme ? Rien d'étonnant chez ce magnat de 91 ans qui trouvait, sur le tard, Donald Trump ingérable. Le mensonge, il connaît. Tous ses journaux ont soutenu l'invasion en Irak sur la base de fausses preuves d'armes de destruction massive. Mais il a laissé à sa star Tucker Carlson, qui lui a permis de décrocher la première place des chaînes d'info, le droit à toutes les dérives : au Capitole, le présentateur a évoqué une manipulation du FBI visant à faire passer des patriotes pour des émeutiers. L'an dernier, il a apporté son soutien à Poutine en critiquant l'action de l'Otan en Ukraine. Pour Joe Biden, rappelle David Colon, professeur à Science Po, Fox News est « l'une des forces les plus destructrices des États-Unis ».

This week, Alan, Quinta, and Scott were once again joined by Congress maven Molly Reynolds to hash through some of the week's big natsec news, including:“Don't Fear the Referr(als).” As its presumed end draws nigh with the new Congress, the Jan. 6 committee is racing to bring its work to a close. Yesterday it voted to make four sets of criminal referrals, including for former President Trump. It also released a 100-page draft executive summary for its forthcoming report. What more should we expect from the committee? And what impact will these steps have?“The Grapes of Vlad.” The U.S. Congress sent a strong message of support to Ukraine this week by committing $45 billion in U.S. assistance, even more than requested by the Biden Administration. But there are few signs that Russia's poor performance thus far is threatening Russian President Vladimir Putin's control of the country, who seems to be settling in for a long-haul strategy of waiting out Western and Ukrainian resistance. What trajectory is this conflict on as it approaches the one-year mark? Where do we think it's likely headed?“Showdown at the O.K. Corral.” The Republican Party is set to take control of the House in January. But who will be leading them remains up in the air, as majority leader Kevin McCarty is still struggling to secure enough support from the far right wing of his party. His supporters are circling the wagon, most recently by publicly wearing “O.K.” pins signaling their support for “Only Kevin.” But can he get across the threshold? And at what cost? For object lessons, Alan recommended the overlooked spy drama "The Courier" for all his fellow Cumberbitches. Quinta passed along her favorite recipe for holiday cookies. Scott re-upped his (well-reviewed!) eggnog recipe and recommended another holiday classic: the Lion's Tail. And Molly urged everyone suffering from World Cup withdrawal to check out NPR's "The Last Cup." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Networking is absolutely key for songwriters. It requires many personal and professional skills to network effectively and build a good reputation in the music industry. I'm so honored to welcome Kevin McCarty, who is the co-founder and CEO of We Should Write Sometime, onto the show to talk all about networking for songwriters. The quote for this episode is by Sallie Krawcheck: “My advice for folks on networking is give, give, give. You will later receive. But you are really planting these seeds. Some of them will die, and they won't become anything. Many of them will take many, many years before they pay off for you if at all.” Kevin and I cover so much in our conversation. We discuss being selfless and giving back to the music industry, showing kindness and being a good person, the beauty of collaboration, efficiency in finding co-writers, the importance of research, the mission of We Should Write Sometime and a detailed overview of the app, and more. My chat with Kevin was such a delight. I hope you enjoy it, and if you're a songwriter, be sure to check out We Should Write Sometime. Are you enjoying Write on Track?

Gun violence is rampant in many places in the United States, even in California. Recent mass shootings have sent an emotional wave of sorrow and pain throughout the country.

This week, we were super lucky to chat with Kevin McCarty of The McCartys. Kevin is behind the YouTube channel The McCartys that had amassed close to 3M subscribers on YouTube just this year. They also have 5.2M followers on their TikTok channel. This is a pretty amazing story considering Kevin was a high school teacher for 15 years, did some hype videos for the sports teams, and began messing around during Covid when he had downtime being home all the time. Being 100% self taught and shooting everything on a single iPhone, this entire story couldn't be more fascinating. Hope you enjoy listening!

Anne Irwin and Natasha Minsker of Smart Justice California join Everyday Injustice this week to talk about criminal justice reform efforts. Smart Justice California works to educate and embolden policymakers who support meaningful criminal justice reforms that promote safety, fairness and healthy communities. Among the legislation they are supporting this year includes, the follow up to the Racial Justice Act which would allow people with past criminal convictions to challenge racial discrimination in charging or sentencing. They are also supporting, Kevin McCarty's AB 759 which would shift DA and Sheriff elections to presidential election years. They are supporting Senator Dave Cortese's SB 300, which reforms felony murder special circumstances law to ensure that the death penalty and LWOP cannot be imposed on those who did not kill or intend that a person die. And they are supporting SB 731, which sunsets criminal convictions and expands record sealing to all sentences following completion of terms of incarceration, post-release supervision, and an additional period of time.

Richard Casper and Kevin McCarty, creators and owners of We Should Write Sometime, are two of the biggest hearts in the music industry. They started from very different places. One served our country and survived a TBI, which led him to create a program for returning Veterans to heal through art. The other started in music, found his way to the business world and landed in a place that marries both. Richard's story is one of perseverance, passion and creating space for people to heal. Kevin's story is one of innovation, finding oneself and relentless pursuit of his dreams. They are both the true definition of an entrepreneur.

We're doing a specific group of podcasts in July -- conversations focused on what systemic change looks like, particularly here in California, in the wake of George Floyd’s death. Each conversation has two people: a young leader who has galvanized others by speaking out and leading demonstration and campaigns, and a "veteran" activist/ decision makers who has been working on race equity and justice issues for decades. For this podcast, we're looking at some proposed laws on racial justice and equality that the state legislature will be voting on, and also that California residents will be voting on in the November ballot. Talking about them are a 19-year-old college student who helped to get 15,000 people protesting on the streets of Oakland last month about police brutality, and a state politician who proposed some of these new laws and is getting them in front of the state legislature and on the election ballot for votes.

According to a recent study from the biz/tech consulting firm, West Monroe Partners, 1 in 3 millennial HR professionals surveyed said they frequently pass on an IT job candidate if they don’t have strong soft skills. Tech jobs aren’t easy to fill, but you want to make sure your new hire is great both behind and in front of the screen. So, if you’re tired of hiring people who look good on paper but can’t collaborate or write well to save their lives, you should start by hiring a millennial to lead the change. West Monroe Partners, a business and technology consultancy's latest study “Closing the Technology Leadership Gap,” investigates the state of soft skills, defined as communication, collaboration, conflict resolution, and leadership in technology and IT hiring decisions. Specifically, it pinpoints the lack of focus on soft skills in today’s workplaces as the cause of productivity, innovation and growth issues. The report found that, while the importance of soft skills has increased significantly over the past three years, many companies don’t train for these capabilities on technology teams – including IT. The study also found that leadership is technology employees’ most underdeveloped soft skill. “To stay competitive in today’s digital world, business leaders need to enlist a holistic mindset regarding technologists’ skillsets,” said Kevin McCarty, president and CEO of West Monroe. “Some of today’s best leaders come from a technology background, and we need more of them. To remain on the forefront of innovation, companies need to put their technologists in a position to lead. They also must prioritize soft skills and leadership training as part of continued growth and development.” West Monroe surveyed 1,250 individuals across two surveys made up of 600 HR and recruiting professionals, and 650 full-time employees who regularly work with their company’s technology teams. Key highlights include: HR Leaders Want Soft Skills (But They Don’t Cultivate Them) 98 percent of HR leaders say soft skills are important in landing a technology position - so important that 67 percent say they have withheld a job offer from an otherwise qualified technical candidate solely because they lacked soft skills. They ranked verbal communication and collaboration the most important soft skills. Once a hired, however, most companies don’t invest in developing their technology professionals’ soft skills further. In fact, around one-quarter of companies provide soft skills training to line-of-business employees, but not to IT. Technology Professionals Aren’t Seen as Leaders HR leaders consider leadership to be the least important soft skill for prospective technology hires. Technology employees often don’t ascend the career ladder, with 39 percent of companies lacking a technology background in the c-suite. This absence affects collaboration between business and tech employees. Lacking Soft Skills Hurts An Organization’s Ability to Innovate 43 percent of full-time employees say soft-skills-related challenges with IT have negatively impacted their work, which is problematic considering that innovative projects increasingly require employees to work alongside each other.
