It's not what other people will think about you that holds you back from being yourself, it's what you think other people will think about you that's holding you back from being yourself. Don't let false pride get in the way of being yourself and experiencing the prosperity of being in your true place. Humility is the key that opens the door to your greater good, because humility is trusting your intuition enough to act on it. On this episode, Darrell and Ed discuss how to live free from self-doubt, fear of being unprepared, and step into our authentic selves with confidence. And, during the second segment, Lisa Schmidt, back by popular demand, motivates listeners to enjoy the freedom of being authentically themselves with today's reading, “Free.” Join the Prospering Patreon Community: www.Patreon.com/FunniestThing Unity of Lansing: https://unitylansing.org/classes-weekly-and-special-series

It's another edition of, "Michigan Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin Goes Full MAGA!" This week, Slotkin was the ONLY Democrat in the U.S. Senate to vote in favor of ripping-away California's tailpipe emissions standards for cars and trucks--a standard that 17 other states adopted. Slotkin claims to be protecting the interests of Michigan since we're the auto capital of the world. Yet, with climate change hurting her state in a number of ways, wouldn't moving away from the fossil fuels of the 20th Century ensure our economic & environmental survival in the 21st Century? Yet, Slotkin joined MAGA Republicans in gutting this EPA waiver to California that was issued during the Biden Administration. Who's side is Slotkin on? It's not working class Michiganders.  Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well! leftoflansing.com NOTES: "U.S. Senate vote to nix California tailpipe emissions standard blocks 17 other states."

Pat Johnston uses the opening segment examining the massive cuts The Trump Regime's Elon Musk is leveling on the National Weather Service. It's happening as Michigan's already experienced 25 tornadoes this year, and when tornadoes are increasing across the country thanks to climate change. Why is Elon gutting an essential service that helps warn people of incoming threatening storms, and when climate change is hitting every part of the country? Why? 11:48-38:32: MAGA Murder Budget Republicans passed the MAGA Murder Budget, which guts programs such as Medicaid, Medicare, and SNAP while providing lavished tax breaks for Elon Musk, Betsy Devos, and the entire untouchable elite donor class. Pat explains why he backs calling it the MAGA Murder Budget, and asks where has safe moderation gotten Democrats in the last 50 years as MAGA Republicans embrace fascism by the day.

MIRS gives a news recap on state policy and politics. Updates range from lawmakers being told that forecasted state revenues are down, to an ex-House staffer being charged for allegedly spending state money on gold bars, firearm accessories and silver (1:30).

She explains why Senate Democrats proposed a $85.95 billion state budget, her hopes to negotiate a caregiver tax credit and her reaction to calls for state employees to work fully in-person (4:49).  And why has Delta Air Lines been around Lansing calling for tax credits on new fuel linked to soybeans and corn? The airline's government affairs director, Sarah Gonzales, walks MIRS through the proposal (26:29). 

Bend Cubs Edged Out by Lugnuts 6–5 Despite Gallagher’s 12 K Gem Lansing, MI — The South Bend Cubs came up just short in a tough 6–5 loss to the Lansing Lugnuts on Saturday night at Jackson Field, despite a stellar outing from starting pitcher Ryan Gallagher. The 2024 sixth-round draft pick delivered a career-best performance, striking out 12 batters over six innings and allowing just five hits. Unfortunately, two pitches proved costly — a two-run home run by T.J. Schofield-Sam in the second inning and another two-run shot by Sahid Valenzuela in the fifth. Down 4–1 entering the sixth, the Cubs rallied. Drew Bowser lined a two-run single to cut the deficit to one, and the game was tied moments later when Miguel Pabón scored on a controversial fielder’s choice. The Lugnuts failed to turn a double play, and while the throw appeared to beat the runner, the umpire ruled the defensive player wasn’t in contact with second base while possessing the ball. Lugnuts manager Darryl Kennedy strongly disputed the call and was ejected from the game. The Lugnuts regained the lead in the bottom of the sixth on a catcher’s error, and added what turned out to be the game-winning run in the eighth on a throwing error by the right fielder. South Bend mounted a final rally in the ninth. Brian Kalmer scored on a line-drive single to right by Ivan Brethowr, but Brethowr was thrown out trying to stretch it into a double to end the game. Right fielder Jared Dickey fired to shortstop Joshua Kuroda-Grauer, who applied the tag to secure the final out. Despite the loss, South Bend out-hit Lansing 9–6, and Gallagher’s dominance on the mound was a bright spot as the Cubs look to bounce back in the series.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're bringing back one of our most powerful conversations—with my good friend and former world #4 tennis pro, Todd Martin. Originally aired during a season of deep reflection on elite performance, legacy leadership, and impact that lasts, this episode is more relevant than ever. At just 23, Todd founded the Todd Martin Youth Leadership (TMYL) Foundation in Lansing, MI.  Today, their reach is undeniable, serving over 2,300 kids each year with game-changing results:  ✅ 27% of students advanced more than two grade levels in reading (2024) ✅ 55% exceeded grade-level growth in both reading and math But we didn't just talk numbers—we talked mission, mindset, and what it truly means to lead by serving others. If you believe in process over outcome, leadership over ego, and impact over applause—this replay is a must.

Jeffrey Mosher welcomes back Teri Sand, SHRM-CP, PHR, CBSP, CRP, Business Services Manager, Capital Area Michigan Works!, Lansing, MI, but serving Ingham Eaton, and Clinton Counties Theme: Teri talks about the fourth annual DHHS Job Fair, which took place the previous day, and previews the upcoming Juneteenth Job Fair. Question 1: Yesterday was the fourth annual MDHHS Spring Job Fair. Can you tell us about this event, how many employers and job-seekers attended, and how it's changed over the years? The annual DHHS job fair is quickly becoming one of the signature events on the Capital Area's workforce development calendar. MDHHS partnered with Capital Area Michigan Works!; Catholic Charities of Ingham, Eaton & Clinton Counties; and the Lansing Police Department for this year's event. It started in the parking lot of the Ingham County Health Department in 2022, coming out of the pandemic, and featured 20 or so employers, including local government agencies. This year, we had more than 40 employers and [[approximate number of job-seekers]] at the event. The event took place at the Gannon Building on Lansing Community College's main campus to accommodate the number of employers and potential employees. Practically every job sector and industry was represented — public and private, large corporations and small businesses. Question 2: Nowadays, so much of the job search process is digital. Someone looking for work can fill out dozens of applications from the comfort of home, and employers can use screening tools — including A.I. — to zero in on the highest quality candidates. What's the advantage of attending in-person job fairs like these, both for the employer and the worker? First of all, we need to remember that although technology like internet access and smartphones seem ubiquitous, not every job-seeker has access to them. That's why, in addition to helping people fill out digital applications at our American Job Centers, we also teach digital literacy to help people who need to upskill be able to find more job opportunities online. Second, Capital Area Michigan Works! is proud to invite employers who are offering full-time, permanent jobs paying $15 an hour or more. That means the employers have quality jobs to offer. It's our mission to not only help residents of the tri-county area find work, but find good jobs with self-sustaining wages. These employers are also open to hiring from the Capital region's substantial New American population, giving those with limited English proficiency a chance to fully participate in the local economy. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, what's missing from filling out a form on a website and interviewing over Zoom is the human connection between employers and applicants. If employers only look for keywords on resumes and cover letters, they might miss the crucial soft skills that potential employees have to offer. A cover letter and resume emailed to a hiring manager might not convey the passion, drive and integrity that a job-seeker brings to the table. And I think that really speaks to the core of what we do: bridging the gap between employer and employee, creating a human connection that leads to long-term success for both sides. Question 3: For employers or workers who were unaware of this event, do you have any similar opportunities coming up? Where can people find more information? Next month, the Job and Community Resource Fair sponsored by Juneteenth/NAACP Lansing Branch and Capital Area Michigan Works! will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 21, at St. Joe Park on Hillsdale Street in Lansing.

Originally uploaded March 6th, reloaded May 3rd. Chris Holman welcomes back Nick Chaffin, Program Compliance Officer, CAMW! Capital Area Michigan Works! Lansing, MI, but serving Ingham, Eaton and Clinton Counties. THEME: Capital Area Michigan Works! reviews the Rapid Response program and its role in supporting employers and employees through a layoff. Question: What is the Rapid Response program and how does it support businesses facing layoffs or closures? The Rapid Response Program aims to respond to downsizing and closures that impact our region's workforce, enabling those affected to return to work as soon as possible. The program's benefits are two-fold: supporting employees impacted by job loss and benefiting businesses as they navigate business changes. We know that layoffs are a difficult decision for employers to make. By working with our Rapid Response Team, employers can implement strategies before a layoff to prevent downsizing or ensure their employees are supported and connected to other available employment opportunities if a layoff is truly needed. Additional employer benefits include: Minimizing disruption during workforce transitions. Implementing cost-friendly aversion strategies that reduce turnover and recruitment costs. Connections to financial aid, training and incentives. The program helps employees who experience layoffs find new positions that match their skill sets. Employees may also receive early intervention to help them make informed decisions concerning their future and employment services including training and income support. Through the combined efforts of local workforce boards, economic development organizations and other stakeholders, Rapid Response helps communities address the broader economic impact of significant layoffs or closures, supports efforts to revitalize local economies and helps employees find opportunities to reenter the workforce quickly. Question: What steps does the Rapid Response program take to support impacted employees? If layoffs are unavoidable, a worker orientation meeting will be organized, where the CAMW! team will meet with affected employees and connect them with information and support in finding a new job. Rapid Response meetings with the workforce are designed to help the employees file for Unemployment Insurance and get established with their local Michigan Works! Agencies. Some of the resources provided in meetings include: Basic assessment, job development, advanced screened referrals, group activities and job search support. Comprehensive personalized assessments, counseling, case management, literacy activities, out-of-area job search and relocation assistance. Training opportunities like on-the-job training, workplace training with instruction, registered apprenticeships, skill upgrading & retraining so workers can perform transitional jobs. CAMW! staff will also provide information on the WIOA Dislocated Workers program, an initiative designed to help workers get back to work as quickly as possible after losing their jobs due to layoffs, plant closures or other economic factors. Question: Why is it important that businesses employ the Rapid Response program when facing potential layoffs, and what are some additional benefits the program offers that employers may not know about? Question: Where can people go to learn more about the Rapid Response program? To learn more about the Rapid Response program or connect with CAMW's business services team, contact Tekea Norwood, Chief Operating Officer, at (517) 492-5541, or Nick Chaffin, Program Compliance Officer, at (517) 492- 5524 » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Watch MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork

The same goes for the MAGA Republicans in Congress, who are trying to pass $880 billion in Medicaid funding--funding that'll be devasting to rural Michigan residents with hospital closures. And why are Republicans gutting health care for the working class? So, they can pass trillions of $$$ in tax cuts for the elite donor base, like Elon Musk and Betsy DeVos. And Pat's incensed over the DNC's moves to oust party vice-chair David Hogg. 22:29-38:37: Michigan Farmers Union's Bob Thompson Michigan Farmers Union President Bob Thompson joins the show to talk about how Trump & Elon's cuts are adding pain to Michigan farmers, and rural Michigan.

South Bend Cubs Fall to Lansing Lugnuts, 4–1 Evan Aschenbeck delivered six strong shutout innings for the South Bend Cubs, but ran into trouble in the seventh. The Lansing Lugnuts struck for four runs in the bottom half of the inning—two of them charged to Aschenbeck—as they rallied to defeat the Cubs 4–1 at Jackson Field. Lansing outhit South Bend 10 to 9, and the Cubs missed key chances at the plate, going just 2-for-10 with runners in scoring position and stranding nine men on base. South Bend’s only run came in the top of the fourth, when Andy Garriola doubled home Jefferson Rojas. The Cubs will look to bounce back in the next game of the series after letting this one slip away late.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last week, Bill Maher lauded Michigan Democratic U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin on his HBO show because of her criticism of how her party appears "weak and woke" by the electorate. But other than the fact that Slotkin swears and cusses at times, what exactly is she pushing on a policy front that helps working class Michiganders and Americans? How will her "moderation" help bring people towards Democrats when she's currently supporting a cryptocurrency bill that Republicans, including President Trump, are pushing to please the Big Tech donor base? How does joining with Trump help fix that "weak" image Slotkin is crying about?

Michigan ranks 39th in per capita income, proving that a billion dollars in corporate subsidies, and the state's regressive flat tax, aren't working to help the working class. Pat Johnston explains why Michigan should be more like Minnesota, and reinvest in the people. But that'll mean repealing the flat tax, and replacing it with a progressive tax to make the system more fair for the working class.  Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well! leftoflansing.com NOTES: "Michigan in 39th, Minnesota is 12th."

Ono acted weak in the face of the Trump Regime's threats while also going after Pro-Palestinian student protesters. And sadly, Michigan Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel went along with it by charging seven of those students. Although, she dropped all charges this week. Pat also covers how MAGA is echoing Dear Leader's "sacrifice" mantra even though that message was never pushed during the election. 20:02-38:06: ProPublica's Anna Clark Interview Anna Clark from ProPublica talks about her article on how Trump & Musk have been busy gutting the funding for the Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab in Michigan. The Lab provides research and solutions for dangerous algae bloom in the lakes, invasive species entering the lakes, and continued clean drinking water. The Lab's work helps all of the coastal towns that reside, and rely on, the Great Lakes! This is part of the Trump Regime's anti-science movement that was all spelled-out in The Heritage Foundation's "Project 2025."  38:07-42:43: Last Call-Republicans Attack Farmers Pat's "Last Call" covers how the extreme MAGA Michigan Republican House majority passed a bill last week that would repeal a farmer's right to use their land for large wind and solar farms. What happened to the days of Republicans fighting for property rights? And why are they fighting to block farmers from making money while helping the state's move towards becoming carbon-neutral?

This week, host Ryan Coonerty speaks with Lansing, MI, Mayor Andy Schor whose community and state are at the center of national politics and the current debates around manufacturing, jobs, and tariffs. Mayor Schor discusses the disconnect between President Trump's campaign promises versus the actual impacts his policies are having on the lives of the everyday Michiganders who elected him. He digs into the specific impacts of tariffs, including how they threaten mid-Michigan's auto industry, as well as small businesses through the Lansing region, and speaks more broadly about how mayors across the country are navigating the uncertainty of the second Trump administration, including threats to Biden-era federal funds.
