Step into Episode 202 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Dan Bogert, 10-year Government Affairs veteran at the Arizona Restaurant Association, to pull back the curtain on the policy battles, legislative wins, and behind-the-scenes advocacy that protect Arizona's restaurant industry every single day. From a viral "Free the Scoop" ice cream bill to negotiating directly with the governor's office twice a week through a global pandemic, Dan brings the kind of candid insider knowledge that rarely makes the news but directly shapes how every operator runs their business.The conversation covers a sweeping decade of high-stakes moments: COVID shutdowns, the $4M outdoor dining program, the messy road to getting alcohol-to-go codified into law, now finally simplified as a clean permit as of January 1, 2026, plus the ongoing fight against dram shop liability and the Torres Supreme Court ruling that changed the game. Dan also flags what operators should be watching right now in 2026: the mainstream rise of generic GLP-1 drugs quietly suppressing restaurant traffic, a new Tempe drink-spiking ordinance, and Arizona's shifting labor regulation landscape. They close with a genuine breakdown of why an ARA membership — starting at $495/year — can be one of the most valuable investments a restaurant owner makes, giving operators a strong voice at the Capitol and access to the advocacy that helps protect and shape Arizona's restaurant industry. The episode wraps with a rapid-fire round that reveals Dan was a competitive swimmer who'd choose dishwasher if he ever crossed over to restaurant life.Chapter Guide (Timestamps):(0:00 - 2:04) Intro: Episode 202, Meet Dan Bogert & the Arizona Rain(2:04 - 3:35) Dan's Background: Tempe Native, Wildland Firefighter & Federal Reserve(3:35 - 6:38) Landing at the ARA, Lobbying Life & the Learning Curve(6:38 - 10:38) First Big Win: The Ice Cream Bill & "Free the Scoop"(10:38 - 14:32) COVID-19: Shutdowns, Reopening Guidance & the $4M Outdoor Dining Program(14:32 - 18:40) Alcohol To-Go: AZ To Go Week, Executive Orders & the 2021 Legislative Fix(18:40 - 21:25) What Is an Executive Order?

In celebration of Women's History Month, this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts U-Ark Prof. Albert Cheng and MassPotential's Mary Tamer speak with Roxana Robinson to honor the extraordinary life and legacy of Georgia O'Keeffe, the pioneering artist often called the “Mother of American Modernism.” Drawing from Robinson's 1989 biography Georgia O'Keeffe: A Life, […]

In celebration of Women's History Month, this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts U-Ark Prof. Albert Cheng and MassPotential's Mary Tamer speak with Roxana Robinson to honor the extraordinary life and legacy of Georgia O'Keeffe, the pioneering artist often called the “Mother of American Modernism.” Drawing from Robinson's 1989 biography Georgia O'Keeffe: A Life, she traces O'Keeffe's life from the farmlands of Sun Prairie, Wisconsin to the bustling cultural landscape of early 20th-century New York City and to North Central New Mexico. The artist's reverence for natural landscapes, color, and light was shaped by her rural Midwestern upbringing and formal artistic training in Virginia. Robinson explains how O'Keeffe's stark transition to city life is reflected in her artwork, which often explores the line between modernism and traditional landscape painting. O'Keeffe's personal and professional relationship with celebrated photographer and art dealer Alfred Stieglitz marked another major turning point in her life and career. While Stieglitz championed her artistic talent, O'Keeffe also became the subject of more than 350 of his photographic portraits—some sparking public acclaim and controversy, while also helping shape her carefully constructed public image. Ms. Robinson further explores O'Keeffe's most famous works including Cow's Skull: Red, White, and Blue and Ram's Head, White Hollyhock – Hills, as well as her large-scale, magnified floral paintings, Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1 and Red Canna. From O'Keeffe's early abstract experiments to her late-life desert visions, Robinson shares how the artist's expansive body of work reshaped American art and left a legacy that continues to inspire artists, scholars, and students in the 21st century. She closes with a reading from her book Georgia O'Keeffe: A Life.

In this retail heat map episode, Carol Spieckerman decodes retail's biggest retail stories and reveals the common threads. From Target's new CEO Michael Fiddelke's rapid-fire executive changes to Costco's beautifully boring consistency driving $4.8 billion in membership fees, Carol connects seemingly disparate headlines to show how retail's great sorting process continues. Plus, surprising insights into Gen Z's restaurant preferences (spoiler: bundt cakes beat McDonald's) and why Asian beauty retailer Sukoshi is poised to disrupt Ulta and Sephora's dominance.Key TakeawaysTarget's leadership shake-up reveals strategic priorities – New CEO Fiddelke consolidates merchandising under one leader, expands the board with Nike's John Hoke and ex-Walmart executive Steve Bratspies, and redeploys 500 positions to improve in-store experience. Carol analyzes why Target is doubling down on its traditional strengths (merchandising, design, marketing) while Walmart operates like a space-age technology company.Mall transformation isn't death, it's just different – With 1,200 malls remaining versus 1,500 in 2005, nearly half of redevelopments become mixed-use properties serving housing, healthcare, education, and community needs. Carol explains why prime real estate with existing infrastructure creates golden opportunities for developers.Costco's membership model generates unshakeable loyalty – Membership fees account for 50-65% of Costco's total profit, enabling razor-thin product margins while the iconic $1.50 hot dog combo (unchanged since 1985) drives customer devotion. Carol explains why "the worst Costco is like the worst pizza" and how tribal store loyalty eliminates comparison shopping.Gen Z restaurant preferences signal broader retail shifts – From Nothing Bundt Cakes to 7 Brew's service-focused coffee model beating Starbucks, Generation Z (ages 13-28) gravitates toward authentic, value-driven brands over corporate legacy names. Carol reveals why concepts like First Watch and Longhorn Steakhouse thrive by delivering Instagram-worthy experiences at accessible prices.Regional grocers and beauty disruptors prove specialization wins – H-E-B, Publix, Wegmans, and Hy-Vee succeed by leaning into regional identity rather than chasing national scale, while Canadian beauty retailer Sukoshi's 200+ Asian beauty brands create discovery experiences that big-box retailers can't replicate. Both examples show how focused expertise trumps broad mediocrity.The Retail RealityCarol identifies three crucial success factors for 2026: picking a lane and executing flawlessly (like Costco's pricing consistency), securing operational fundamentals before chasing innovation (Target's store-focused strategy), and tracking generational shifts that reshape entire categories (Gen Z's authentic service expectations, Asian beauty's permanent influence). The episode reveals how December's "flat" retail sales actually demonstrate consumer resilience amid tariff uncertainty and economic headwinds, with higher-income households maintaining confidence as middle and lower-income consumers grow cautious. Companies thriving through retail's ongoing transformation understand that operational consistency beats marketing theatrics, regional authenticity often outperforms national scale, and younger consumers reward genuine value over brand legacy. Want to be a guest on Spieckerman Speaks Retail?

In this episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts U-Ark Prof. Albert Cheng and Alisha Searcy of the Center for Strong Public Schools speak with Ron Matus, Director of Research and Special Projects at Step Up For Students in Florida and former longtime education reporter for The Tampa Bay Times. Mr. Matus reflects on his career from journalism to helping lead the nation's largest portfolio of K–12 school choice programs. Drawing on decades of covering Florida education policy, he explains how the state became a national leader in school choice through steady, incremental expansion rather than sudden universal eligibility. Matus discusses how key U.S. Supreme Court rulings and COVID-era school disruptions accelerated parent demand for flexible options, positioning Florida as the state serving the most students through education savings accounts and scholarship tax credits. He outlines the core principles behind that growth: building durable political coalitions, focusing relentlessly on families, safeguarding program integrity, and maintaining public trust. Looking ahead, he examines challenges including scaling ESA implementation, encouraging high-quality private schools, and addressing accountability concerns.

Breeding decisions, feed calculations, replacement standards, and herd focus all shape profitability but rarely in dramatic ways. Most goat herds don't fall apart overnight. They slowly lose momentum because of small management decisions that compound over time. In this episode, I walk through five mistakes that can quietly erode profitability in a goat herd. From breeding does too early to failing to track does exposed to breeding, feeding without running the math, and keeping goats out of sentiment, we break down the practical decisions that either strengthen or weaken your system. You'll hear how delayed breeding improved longevity in our forage-based herd, why exposed-doe metrics give a more honest fertility picture, how simple feed calculations can prevent waste and overconditioning, and how tightening replacement standards shapes long-term herd direction. I also share the hard decision we made to focus fully on commercial meat goats when our goals became clearer. The goal isn't perfection, it's intentional management. If you've been working hard but feel like your herd isn't progressing the way it should, this episode will help you step back, evaluate your system, and tighten the areas that matter most. In This Episode, I Cover: Why breeding does at the wrong stage of development increases replacement pressure How delayed breeding improved longevity and reduced kidding problems in our herd Why tracking “does exposed to breeding” gives a more accurate fertility picture The importance of measuring singles, twins, triplets, and assistance rates How to calculate feed intake using body weight and dry matter percentages Why protein is the most expensive nutrient you feed How overconditioning affects breed-up The long-term cost of keeping goats for emotional reasons Why tightening replacement standards improves herd direction How unclear production goals create inconsistent selection decisions Key Takeaways: Longevity is profit Fertility must be measured honestly to improve Feed efficiency requires both math and observation Replacement standards should tighten over time Sentiment has a cost — acknowledge it Clear production goals drive consistent herd improvement Small management decisions compound over years Related Episodes: 22 | What Is the Perfect Meat Goat?

On this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts Alisha Searcy of the Center for Strong Public Schools and Mary Tamer of MassPotential speak with Dr. Richard Phelps, the author of Pioneer Institute's recent paper, Post-MCAS Assessments and Accountability in Massachusetts, to unpack the past, present, and future of K-12 accountability in the Commonwealth. Looking back at the 1993 Massachusetts Education Reform Act (MERA), Dr. Phelps explores how rigorous academic standards and the original MCAS testing system helped propel Massachusetts to the top of national and international rankings in reading, math, and science. Phelps explains how Massachusetts' 2010 adoption of Common Core national standards and the shift away from the original MCAS framework led to a dramatic decline in academic performance on NAEP after 2011. Shifting to today, Dr. Phelps discusses the implications of the 2024 ballot initiative that eliminated MCAS as a high school graduation requirement. He outlines the major takeaways from Post-MCAS Assessments and Accountability in Massachusetts, including recommendations for statewide end-of-course exams, as well as the weaknesses of portfolio assessments. He underscores why strong, independent academic oversight is essential in a post-MCAS landscape. He advocates reinstating an independent Office of Educational Quality and Accountability to deliver transparent, data-driven evaluations of school districts and ensure Massachusetts maintains high academic expectations for all students.

Efficient chores aren't about moving faster — they're about deciding the order once so you don't have to rethink it every morning. When chores feel chaotic or take longer than they should, it's usually not because there's too much to do. It's because there isn't a clear system in place. In this episode, I walk you step-by-step through my winter morning livestock chores — not just what I do, but why I do it in that order. From removing distractions first, to batching tasks, to building physical reminders into the environment, I explain the simple principles that keep our barn running smoothly — even during mud season. You'll hear how I structure chores to reduce wasted motion, prevent frustration, train livestock guardian dogs during daily routines, and build systems that protect future me from unnecessary work. The goal isn't perfection. It's consistency and clarity. If you've ever felt scattered during chores or like you're making three trips back to the barn for one forgotten thing, this episode will help you step back, think through your own order of operations, and build a routine that works with your life — not against it. In This Episode, I Cover: Why chaotic chores are usually a systems problem, not a workload problem What “order of operations” looks like in real-life livestock management How removing distractions first saves time and reduces frustration Why batching tasks reduces wasted motion How to use physical reminders in your environment so you don't rely on memory Training livestock guardian dogs during daily chores instead of adding extra time Using daily chores as an opportunity for livestock observation How efficient systems protect your time during busy seasons Why each family member having their own routine can improve consistency How to adjust your routine when seasons and chore demands change Key Takeaways: Efficient chores are built on order, not speed Clear routines reduce mental load and decision fatigue Batching similar tasks saves time and motion Building reminders into your environment prevents forgotten steps Regular observation during chores helps catch problems early Systems protect your time when workload increases Related Episodes: 02 | Overwhelmed? 4 Steps to Create a Practical Plan for Adding Livestock to Your Homestead Successfully 03 | Ready for Goats! 4 Steps to Help You Confidently Shop for and Purchase Your First Goats 06 | What Livestock Should I Get First?

Raising goats successfully isn't about having more animals or fewer animals — it's about having management that matches your goal. Too many people jump into goats with good intentions, only to feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and eventually sell out because their goats, systems, and goals were never aligned. In this episode, I break down a pattern I see over and over: people either start with too many goats before they've learned how goats behave as a herd, or they start with just a couple of goats that function more like pets and never teach real herd management. Both extremes create problems — just in different ways. We talk honestly about why goats magnify mistakes, how scale multiplies management challenges, and why learning at the right herd size matters. I also share how and why we intentionally scaled our own herd back last year to protect animal health, forage, and infrastructure — not as a failure, but as good management under real-world constraints. We'll dig into the difference between pet goats and commercial goats, including a candid discussion about bottle babies, learned behavior, and why management sometimes has to change to keep animals safe — even when that management isn't ideal. Throughout the episode, everything comes back to one central truth: management depends on your goal. If goats have ever felt harder than you expected, this episode will help you step back, clarify what you're actually trying to build, and make decisions that lead to healthier goats and a more sustainable operation. In This Episode, I Cover: Why people often quit goats within the first year or two How scale magnifies mistakes in fencing, grazing, nutrition, and parasite management Why starting with just two or three goats teaches pet management, not herd management The risks of scaling too fast before understanding goat behavior and systems Our experience selling goats to let infrastructure and management catch up The difference between pet goats and commercial goats — and why neither is “wrong” How bottle baby behavior affects herd flow, boundaries, and daily management Why goat management should work with goat nature, not against it What “enough goats to be a herd, but not a crisis” actually looks like Practical starting numbers for building a commercial meat goat herd based on experience Key Takeaways: Goat management must match your end goal to be sustainable Too few goats can teach the wrong lessons for commercial herd management Too many goats magnify mistakes and accelerate burnout Bottle babies are not bad goats, but they require different management considerations Healthy goat systems guide behavior while protecting animal welfare Clear goals lead to calmer goats and better long-term decisions Related Episodes: 71 | Livestock Management Decisions and Why We Are Selling Part of Our Goat Herd 68 | New to Raising Livestock?

In this episode of The Learning Curve, we celebrate Black History Month as co-hosts U-Ark Prof. Albert Cheng and Alisha Searcy of the Center for Strong Public Schools speak with A'Lelia Bundles, an accomplished journalist, television producer, and biographer of Madam C. J. Walker, about the life, legacy, and enduring significance of her remarkable great-great-grandmother.

She explores how Breedlove's experiences with marriage, motherhood, and economic hardship informed her entrepreneurial drive, leading to the creation of innovative hair-care products and the launch of the Madam C. J. Walker brand. Bundles discusses Walker's development of a national training network that empowered Black women economically, her rise as America's first self-made female millionaire, and her philanthropic leadership. She also highlights Madam Walker's Westchester County, NY,  mansion estate "Villa Lewaro" as a Harlem Renaissance hub, and explores the cultural impact of Self Made. In closing, Ms. Bundles reads a passage from On Her Own Ground: The Life and Times of Madam C. J. Walker.

On this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts U-Ark Prof. Albert Cheng and Great Hearts Academies' Dr. Helen Baxendale speak with Jay Tolson, editor of The Hedgehog Review and author of Pilgrim in the Ruins: A Life of Walker Percy. Tolson delves into the literary legacy of Walker Percy, the celebrated 20th-century Southern Catholic novelist. He explores how Percy's many personal hardships and family tragedies shaped his voice as a writer, and Percy being mentored by his uncle William Alexander Percy of Greenville, Mississippi. Mr. Tolson also describes the lifelong friendship Walker Percy formed with the American novelist and Civil War historian Shelby Foote. He also discusses how Percy being stricken with tuberculosis was pivotal to his Catholic conversion and literary mission, as well as Percy's first novel The Moviegoer, which examined the human search for meaning within 20th-century America's often soulless media culture, winning the 1962 National Book Award. Mr. Tolson concludes the episode by reading an excerpt from his award-winning biography, Pilgrim in the Ruins: A Life of Walker Percy.

To commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Day, The Learning Curve guest host Andrea Silbert, President of the Eos Foundation, speaks with Ruth Franklin, former editor of The New Republic and author of The Many Lives of Anne Frank. Ms. Franklin reflects on the enduring literary significance of Anne Frank's diary while providing an overview of her life and the wider historical context of World War II and the Holocaust. Drawing on her extensive research, Franklin discusses her approach to understanding Anne Frank not only as a symbol of Jewish persecution and the Holocaust, but as a young girl whose life offers universal lessons due to being tragically shaped and ultimately destroyed by the Nazi invasion of the Netherlands in 1940. She describes how the Frank family's daily routines in the Secret Annex were upended and explores the power of Anne's writing, emphasizing how her personal reflections while in hiding remain a courageous human record of life under Hitler's antisemitic tyranny. Ms. Franklin also highlights the role Anne's father played in posthumously editing and publishing the diary, shaping the memoir that would become widely known and honored around the world. Ms. Franklin closes by reading an excerpt from her book, The Many Lives of Anne Frank.

Dr. Miller examines Langston Hughes's poetry, including “Harlem (A Dream Deferred)” and “Mississippi –1955,” and how it shaped King's sermons, speeches, and approach to civil rights leadership.

In this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts Center for Strong Public Schools' Alisha Searcy and Great Hearts Academies' Dr. Helen Baxendale interview award-winning author and biographer Dr. Jung Chang, whose international bestsellers have illuminated three generations of her family's experiences across 20th- and 21st-century China. Dr. Chang reflects on the powerful lessons drawn from the lives of her grandmother, mother, and herself under Chairman Mao's tyranny, emphasizing the importance of personal memory in confronting totalitarianism and educating younger generations. She discusses the role of her memoir alongside works by figures such as Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and Elie Wiesel in exposing the tragic human cost of 20th century's most murderous regimes. Turning to her co-authored biography, Mao: The Unknown Story, Dr. Chang offers her assessment of Mao's character, the catastrophic loss of over 70 million lives under his Communist rule, and the enduring myths and lies surrounding his despotic legacy. She explores China's rich pre-Communist history, including the often misunderstood reign of the Empress Dowager Cixi, the central role of women in shaping modern China, and her motivations for writing Big Sister, Little Sister, Red Sister. She also examines Chairman Deng Xiaoping's (the “Architect of Modern China”) economic reforms in the late 1970s, President Xi Jinping's revival of Maoist-style political state control, and concludes with a moving discussion of Fly, Wild Swans, as a tribute to her mother, including the final chapter on why she could not return to China to be at her mother's deathbed.
