We also discussed how a new state law has led to a sudden and controversial spike in the arrests of people experiencing homelessness (14:27). And, like many football fans, we asked if Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's concussion crisis means he should leave the sport – and how unsafe that sport is (26:49).

After the tragic death of his wife Michelle McNamara, he finished the book she was working on: I’ll Be Gone in the Dark: The Search for the Golden State Killer. The book was recently turned into an HBO documentary series of the same name. His newest stand-up special, I Love Everything, is out on Netflix.

We discuss addressing racial tension and protests in light of recent events, education and afterschool programs, the SMART Plan and BayLink, the brain drain, being hands on and connecting with constituents, stimulating the economy, and much more! Suarez was first elected Mayor of the City of Miami in 1985 and subsequently re-elected in 1987 and 1989. During his tenure, he worked diligently towards the construction of affordable housing, prioritized community neighborhood improvements and received national praise for his effective handling of civil disturbances. Since 1993, Suarez has focused on practicing law and writing six books, A Unified Theory of God, Mind and Matter, the first, was published in 2005 by AuthorHouse. Xavier L. Suarez was elected to serve on the Miami-Dade County Commission as District 7 Commissioner on May 24, 2011. He represents numerous municipalities including the City of Miami, the Village of Key Biscayne, the City of Coral Gables, the City of South Miami, the Village of Pinecrest, as well as areas of unincorporated Miami-Dade County.

Good leaders are trailblazers, making a path for others to follow. Great leaders, however, inspire their people to reach higher, dream bigger, and achieve greater. Perhaps the most important leadership skill one can develop is the ability to provide inspiration to their team. If you inspire others to reach for the stars, they just might bring you back the moon! Had such a great time and was honored to be joined by this episode’s special guest -- a walking community treasure chest filled with knowledge, insight, and experience -- Miami-Dade County Commissioner Barbara Jordan. Commissioner Jordan has enjoyed a distinguished 35-year career with Miami-Dade County, serving in numerous capacities including as a Public Administrator, Assistant County Manager, and Vice Chairwoman of the Miami-Dade County Commission. She has a very unique perspective of County government because of her decades of working knowledge and intimate familiarity with the system. Commissioner Jordan has been the people’s voice of reason over the years and demonstrated the political will to take on the known challenges of her community. Tune is as we discuss industry diversification for an improved economy, funding for infrastructure investment, updates on transportation and the SMART Plan, improvements with crime in Miami Gardens, addressing socio-economic inequality, the brain drain, and accountability and transparency in the budget process. She also drops gems on leadership qualities necessary for long-term success, what she’d tell her younger self, and her dream plan if she had a 100% chance of success! Commissioner Jordan is gearing up for retirement later this year, currently serving in her 16th and final year as a Miami-Dade County Commissioner. Her leadership and tenacity will sorely be missed, but I look forward to what’s on the horizon. “Do not follow where the path may lead. Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail”

What you will learn in this episode: Why Thomasina chose to move into the field of family dynamics and legacies after moving to New York to pursue her passion in philanthropic work Why there is a global phenomenon where a generation builds wealth, the next generation adapts to the wealth, and then the third generation loses it and has to rebuild Why a lack of communication within a family often leads to a loss of wealth, and how Thomasina's own family is an example of this trend Why society needs leadership right now, and how family businesses can step into that role and demonstrate leadership for their communities Why the information we take in has a drastic impact on our mindset, and why it is important to practice self-care before trying to take care of others Why business owners should be proactive in having important conversations about money and finances with their children to help maintain intergenerational wealth What key steps family business owners can take to help second- and third-generation business leaders prepare themselves to take over the family business Why bringing family members into a family-owned business who are underqualified for their role is a widespread problem Why setting up a “family governance” plan is a good step to take, and why business founders sometimes have trouble letting go of their control Why transition planning is the responsibility of both the outgoing and incoming generational leaders, and why planning should address the needs of both groups Resources: Website: www.sankofalegacyadvisors.com LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/thomasina-h-williams/ Additional Resources: Website: sharonspano.com Book: thetimemoneybook.com Events

So this episode we send Corn away with some: What the shit?! We talk about the human-shaped garbage pile responsible for the murder of Treyvon Martin. Trayvon's attacker has taken an indignant, loud, put-upon stance as he theatrically crisscrossed his way through the sewage spillway that is the FOX (and really all our modern media, right?) talking points, and their equally odious talking heads. Then things take a turn! A really good one! Treyvon Martin's mother is Sybrina Fulton, and she is running for Miami-Dade County Commission! She has persevered through unthinkable tragedy, to rise up as a leader for a community in crisis. Whether it is her work bringing the nascent Black Lives Matter movement to the forefront of our American consciousness, or the work she does within her own community, she's been the beating heart of a community movement. Well, now she's running for public office and we are all in! We want to raise $100,000 for Sybrina's campaign, and you can help! 1. First, sign up as a volunteer here: https://www.sybrinafulton.com/ 2. Then, Donate $20.20 to her campaign at the same link! 3. Then, Watch, Like, and Subscribe to her youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tfrbvhrc5E&lc=Ugwbt0Rg9YFrF-WzlQJ4AaABAg 4.

The Miami Dolphins have awarded SAVE Executive Director Tony Lima with the NFL Hispanic Heritage Leadership Award. In conjunction with Hispanic Heritage Month, Lima was honored with a trophy and a $2,000 donation to SAVE prior to the Dolphins game against the Oakland Raiders. Born and raised in Miami, Lima is a first generation Cuban-American. As Executive Director, Lima oversees SAVE, South Florida’s leading organization dedicated to protecting people of the LGBTQ community against discrimination. Since 1993, SAVE has advocated for equal rights for persons of all sexual orientations and gender identities. Under his leadership, SAVE has had the biggest wins towards LGBTQ equality in the organization’s 25-year history: in 2015, SAVE successfully sued the state of Florida to legalize same-sex marriage, in 2014, SAVE passed comprehensive nondiscrimination protections for transgender individuals at the Miami-Dade County Commission. During his five-year tenure, the organization has endorsed and helped elect a record seventy-five pro-equality leaders at all levels of government. In 2016, the organization created and implemented a groundbreaking model proven to have a lasting effect on reducing prejudice against the LGBTQ community. It has since become a national model for helping change hearts and minds. SAVE is a grant recipient of the Miami Dolphins Football Unites program, created by Owner Stephen Ross and players and designed to create opportunities for South Florida-based individuals and organizations to strengthen and expand their impact around community engagement, education and criminal justice reform. Through the launch of the Football Unites Grant Program, the Dolphins are supporting SAVE’s campaign to reduce anti-LGBT prejudice and to identify and build a list of supportive community members. This past Sunday, I had the opportunity to interview Lima prior to receiving the award on the field. Click the player above to listen to this exclusive interview! Learn more about your ad choices.
