Podcast appearances and mentions of michael swanson

Earlier this week, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon announced a major reshuffling of ministerial portfolios within the National party.  Among the most notable portfolio changes was handing over Dr Shane Reti's role as minister of health to Transport Minister Simeon Brown and the appointment of Nicola Willis as Minister of the newly created portfolio of Minister of Economic Growth, a title formerly known as the Minister of Economic Development. The cabinet reshuffle has led to concerns about the fate of Health NZ and Aotearoa's healthcare sector, noting that Shane Reti had over 20 years of experience working in medicine, whereas Simeon Brown has none.  The reshuffle also comes shortly after a recent poll by the Taxpayers Union showed that National's approval rating had fallen below 30%, the lowest rating they've received while in government since 1999. Oto spoke with Michael Swanson, a PHD candidate in New Zealand politics at the University of Otago, to discuss why National made the decision to shuffle their portfolios at this point in time and the impacts of the portfolio changes for the wider economy, particulary for the healthcare system and constituents in the South Island.

IN THIS EPISODE~ Rob & Doug are joined by their dear friend, esteemed researcher, historian and author Michael Swanson ("The War State", "Why The Vietnam War?"). And as can be expected, the Assassination-related discussion and document study is thus vast and varied. Among the topics covered: Lee Oswald's connections and contacts in New Orleans in 1963, including very interesting FBI Reports regarding a man questioned by Jim Garrison about Oswald, a New Orleans bartender named Evi Rodrigues; Fascinating and enlightening National Security Council Memoranda from early-1962 regarding the RFK/Lansdale-spearheaded "OperationMONGOOSE"; the surprising "operational inquiries" made by RFK regarding the disposal of the Castro Regime, LBJ's shadowy meeting itinerary in the 48 hours immediately after the hit, and Michael will give us some insight into his "JFKLancer" presentation from this past November, which hypothesizes that it wasn't JFK's perceived inaction regarding Southeast Asia that was the main catalyst behind his murder, but rather his perceived inaction regarding Cuba that set the deadly wheels in motion. PLUS- What American Political Figure did JFK fear most? When did the Murder Plot truly gain forward momentum? What's this about Rob & Doug starting ANOTHER podcast? JOIN US!

Last week, the government announced that planned developments to Dunedin's hospital may exceed the planned budget of $1.88 billion, and reach as much as $3 billion. As such, ministers Chris Bishop and Shane Reti announced that the plans may require reductions or an extended timeframe.  The announcement was met with mass opposition both on social media and in public, with some 35,000 protestors turning out on the streets of Dunedin on Saturday to march against the change. The current government has been controversial for a range of its other policy decisions as well, particularly for how these policies shape up to campaign promises and expectations.  While under delivery on campaign promises is not uncommon in politics, it can hurt a party when it comes to re-election, especially when it comes to regions like Dunedin which may see less directed policies than major centres like Auckland.  Wire host Castor spoke to PhD candidate and researcher at the University of Otago, Michael Swanson, about the politics of this government and how the Dunedin hospital development plays into things moving into the next election.

This week on the Tuesday Wire... For Dear Science this week, our expert Professor Allan Blackman chatted with us about potentially debunked neuroscience findings, the Franklin expedition, and cancer medication thalidomide. Our weekly catchup with the National party was off this week, as our regular MP Katie Nimon was away.  Wire host Castor spoke to the Mayor of Dunedin, Jules Radich, about the state of health in Dunedin and how the hospital cuts have been received.  They also spoke to PhD candidate and researcher at The University of Otago, Michael Swanson, about the hospital cuts and placing them in the wider politics of the current government.  And on the Green Desk this week, reporter Jack Marshall spoke to Principal Scientist from Manaaki Whenua, Linda Lilburne, about changing crops due to climate change. 

A decision around extending political terms from three years to four may be put to voters in the next election.  Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says the Government may put the matter to referendum in 2026.  Luxon expressed confidence there is support for a four-year term across the House.  University of Otago New Zealand Politics PhD candidate Michael Swanson tells Kerre Woodham a four-year term could change voter behaviour from keeping the current government in power to allow them time to implement their policies.  The state of the opposition's readiness to govern should be constant, so that when new parties are voted in there is no warm-up period whilst in power.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In his farewell address to the nation on January 17, 1961, President Dwight D. Eisenhower delivered a prophetic warning that has since become one of American history's most cited and influential speeches. This speech, often referred to as the "Eisenhower Farewell Address," addressed a range of critical issues facing the United States, but its most enduring message was a cautionary note about the rise of the "military-industrial complex." Eisenhower, a highly decorated World War II general who served as the 34th President of the United States from 1953 to 1961, recognized the importance of a strong national defense. However, he also understood the potential dangers of an unchecked alliance between the military establishment and the defense industry. He warned that the synergy between these two powerful entities could lead to the accumulation of unwarranted influence and excessive spending, ultimately threatening the nation's democratic ideals and economic stability. The heart of Eisenhower's message lay in his concern about the inherent risks of a permanent war economy. He acknowledged that the United States faced legitimate security challenges and needed a robust defense capability. However, he stressed that this must be balanced with a vigilant commitment to maintaining the country's broader priorities. Eisenhower cautioned against the growth of a permanent arms industry that would exert undue influence over government policy, potentially leading to the perpetuation of conflicts for financial gain. Eisenhower's warning resonates to this day because it highlights the need for transparency, accountability, and a clear understanding of the consequences of prioritizing military interests above all else. His words have been interpreted as a call for a thoughtful and cautious approach to national security, advocating for the allocation of resources based on genuine threats rather than the profit motives of defense contractors. In the decades since the speech, the concept of the military-industrial complex has been widely debated, and its influence on government policy and spending remains a topic of discussion. Critics argue that it has led to excessive military spending, the emergence of a "war culture," and unnecessary interventions, while proponents argue that a strong defense industry is essential for national security and technological advancement. As the United States faces evolving global challenges, Eisenhower's warning serves as a reminder to carefully consider the balance between security, economic interests, and democratic principles. It emphasizes the importance of remaining vigilant and critical of any concentration of power that might jeopardize the nation's core values and long-term stability. Eisenhower's farewell address continues to be a crucial piece of American political discourse, urging us to be mindful of the complex relationships between government, industry, and the preservation of liberty.

Michael Swanson Sr. VP Production NBC Universal Studio Group, was just featured in the Forbes Magazine article called, ‘How To Build Your Network” by Maya Richard-Craven.   Michael who's a giver by nature, was called on for his expert advice. He shared that ‘helping other people is a great way to form long- term relationships”.  When it comes to creating professional relationships, Michael says, “Go out of your way to be of service with a genuine motive and an earnest heart”. “Then over time, someone may ask if there is anything you need."  Since 85% of jobs are filled through networking rather than traditional hiring, (yes, it's true), then Michael's advice should help lead you in the right direction to build your career.  Michael's own professional journey has been one of working his way up through hard work, and is filled with many accomplishments. Being of service to many along his jounrey has surely led to the many professional relationships he has come to enjoy. Besides being an Emmy Award winner, and a Hollywood TV studio executive, film producer and theatre producer, Michael is also a visionary entrepreneur and President and CEO of the entertainment company, Faith Filmworks.  At NBC Universal, he's the studio executive responsible for the production of Universal Television's Parks and Recreation, Hacks, The Good Place, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Good Girls, Never Have I Ever, Community and Master of None. And throughout his distinguished career in entertainment, Michael has produced movies to critical and audience acclaim including All About You, All About Us, For the Love of Ruth, To Hell and Back, Andraé Crouch: Making The Journey, Two Seasons, Notre Dame First Time Fans: Legacy, The Wayman Tisdale Story and Fannie. He's a guy many in the professional entertinament business aspire to meet, but if you do meet him, please don't ask if he has a card! Or a QR Code! LOL Michael said, " I find that a little off-putting. I think it's more important to really engage a person and get to know him or her, ask questions, but in a very genuine and authentic way as opposed to kind of bouncing around collecting information and calculating in your head what's the best way he or she can help boost my career or advance my career so I can climb the ladder. Frankly in my opinion it's just the opposite. How can we be of service to others? I find that when you are in service to others in a genuine way, with an authentic heart and no ulterior motives, but really just want to help and learn, then I think there comes an opportunity where that executive or that person can eventually reach back out to you and say, you know what, you're doing such a great job. Is there anything I can do for you? How can I help? And then it becomes a more authentic relationship and it can even perhaps turn into a long-term mentoring relationship. And I think that's the best way to navigate a career because it's a little bit more personal. It's not about just taking from someone but learning how to be of service to others." I'm personally aware that networking is challenging for people who don't have ‘connections or ‘experience' in their fields yet, but I always champion the idea of finding ways to meet the people you want to meet, especially in your desired industry, ‘in person'. I think ‘in person' matters for connecting genuinely with people. For getting them to ‘see' who you really are.  How do you think I got Michael Swanson on my show today right after Forbes got him? I had the good fortune to meet Michael ‘in person' when he was in NY from LA when The Temptations and The Four Tops performed at the Westbury Music Fair in Long Island NY. Michael, is involved with the Tony Award Winning Broadway smash hit musical ‘Ain't Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations' and is also co-producing the upcoming Four Tops Musical, ‘I'll Be There' with my buddy Paul Lambert and Duke Fakir. Duke is the only surviving member of the group.   Michael is a beautiful human with a beautiful family. He serves on the board of directors for Wedgwood Circle, Notre Dame's Performing Arts Advisory Council, Success Through Education Program, FEAST and is a member of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. A South Side of Chicago native, Michael resides in Los Angeles with his wife of 29 years, filmmaker and screenwriter Christine Swanson, and their four children. Michael Swanson joined me live from LA on The Debbie Nigro Show to share much more of his warm advice about how to build your professional ‘relationships'.  Enjoy the podcast of our conversation.  If you prefer to read, the Audio Transcript is below. ************************************************************************  AUDIO TRANSCRIPT  0:00:00 And now, back to the Debbie Nigro Show! 2 0:00:24 Okay, life is all about relationships. Let me explain, okay? Actually, I'll let somebody else explain. Hi everybody, I'm Debbie Nigro. I am so excited to introduce you to my next guest. You know, I always say meeting people in person matters, right? I really do think it totally matters, especially in this virtual world we live in. I met Michael the night I went to see The Four Tops and also the Temptations at Westbury Music Fair in Long Island back when. It was a wildly fabulous night.  I met Michael and met his lovely son. What a gentleman. There was something very special about him and there's something very special about him that you guys are going to sense and find out about right now. Michael is a giver by nature. He's not only some big wig Hollywood TV studio executive and film producer and theater producer, which he is all those things, but he is a guy who's created relationships over time that have been really heartfelt and he's spending some time right now educating others on how to do it. Forbes just did a story on how to build a network of professional relationships. He was their first person. They went to interview him as an expert. What Michael said that really just needs to be shared because he's a giver by nature, I mentioned that, is that helping other people is a great way to form long-term relationships. So more about that, but first, welcome Michael and thanks for helping me out by coming on my show today. 1 0:02:10 Good morning, Debbie. It's so wonderful to be with you. Thanks for having me. 2 0:02:13 You're welcome. So you, being the first guy that Forbes called about relationships, probably took a moment, sat back and thought, wow, all my life's work has mattered because I know this matters to you. You have incredibly important advice to people about giving before taking. 1 0:02:31 Yes, yes. I think we are all called to be of service. One thing about networking and mentoring which Forbes wanted to focus on is how do you do it? What's the best way for someone who has had a long career and they wanted me to give advice and some tips. My whole thing is not about going to networking events and some of the less savvy networkers may their first question may become, �Do you have a card? 2 0:03:01 Does anybody have a card anymore? 1 0:03:04 Yeah, I know, right? QR codes. Can I scan your QR codes? I found that a little off-putting. I think it's more important to really engage a person and get to know him or her, ask questions, but in a very genuine and authentic way as opposed to kind of bouncing around collecting information and calculating in your head what's the best way he or she can help boost my career or advance my career so I can climb the ladder. Frankly in my opinion it's just the opposite. How can we be of service to others? I find that when you are in service to others in a genuine way, with an authentic heart and no ulterior motives, but really just want to help and learn, then I think there comes an opportunity where that executive or that person can eventually reach back out to you and say, you know what, you're doing such a great job. Is there anything I can do for you? How can I help? And then it becomes a more authentic relationship and it can even perhaps turn into a long-term mentoring relationship. And I think that's the best way to navigate a career because it's a little bit more personal. It's not about just taking from someone but learning how to be of service to others. 2 0:04:23 If somebody didn't know you and know that you are this heartfelt guy that you are and just saw your title, Hollywood TV studio executive, film producer, theater producer, and they were a young person trying to get into the business. They might be very intimidated by approaching a gentleman like yourself. You're giving some good advice, but how would you like someone to approach you if they were trying to get to know you? 1 0:04:48 My advice would be to simply be yourself. When I meet with a lot of especially recent college graduates or young professionals, that's my advice. There is only one you in this entire world who God has created. So be yourself because no one can be better at you being yourself than you. And then I find that you will relax, you will get centered, you can be yourself and communicate without trying to morph into someone else who you think you're supposed to be to move ahead. 2 0:05:21 Has anybody ever tried to impress you by doing something really out of the box to get your 6 0:05:26 attention? 4 0:05:29 Probably Debbie. But I don't know. 1 0:05:33 I can't think of anything right now. 2 0:05:36 I guess I'm thinking of something funny and I'll share it with you because you did you know one of the key points that was Made in the article and that you know I made Promoting your being on the show today It says that 85% of jobs are filled through networking rather than traditional hiring which is very loud It's a big number and what came to mind is you know a father Always tries to help a daughter or a son and my father God rest his soul He's dead 40 years now once went and repaved some guy's driveway and put in all new shrubs for a guy who wasn't in the TV business because he wanted to make sure he knew who I was by the time I called him. The guy woke up like, what? He didn't even know who I was. So I'm just saying that's funny but people do crazy things to try and get attention to create a relationship and that's the only reason I brought it up. But if in fact 85% right of all the jobs are filled through networking rather than traditional hiring. Like why do people even bother with these, you know, sending resumes into a virtual, you know, hole, a black hole? 1 0:06:36 Yeah, it can become very, rejection is hard for any of us, right? And so when you apply for a job, and even repeatedly sometimes, and you get that rejection or that disappointment, it can be deflating, it can be discouraging, it can even sometimes become depressing because it's like, I've done everything, what can I do? But I have hope in that 15%. You didn't say 100%, you said 85%. So stay positive, is my advice. Stay encouraged and keep submitting. Also, this is one thing that I like to say, which has been true in my life, God will take you to where He needs you to be when He needs you to be there. Sometimes we get rejections or we don't get that job or we don't get that meeting or we don't get that promotion. Sometimes perhaps it's for our own protection. We just may not know that. I'm a big believer, believe it or not, in failure. I think failure is your friend. The key is to learn from your failures, learn from your mistakes, learn from the setbacks, because all of those things are equipping you and preparing you for where you ultimately will end up. So it's not always a bad thing. You know, it's like adding tools to your toolbox that informs how you proceed. So life is hard, right? There are challenges, there are ups and downs, but stay encouraged is the advice that I always get. And importantly, you have to know that things take time. Things take time. Hang in there. Don't get discouraged. Most overnight successes are about ten years. It takes about ten years. 2 0:08:25 At least. Right? 9 0:08:27 I think I'm just peaking, Michael. 4 0:08:28 I love that. 8 0:08:29 That's okay because you know what, Debbie? 2 0:08:30 All of the experience and all of the knowledge and all of the things that you've learned 4 0:08:31 and now you've continued to hone your craft all of these years, it just makes you even 5 0:08:32 more prepared for where you are now. 7 0:08:33 Yes. 1 0:08:34 And have an even bigger platform. So I'm okay with that. I think we live in a microwave society now. Yep. And I think we live in a microwave society now. And I think we live in a microwave society now. And I think we live in a microwave society now. And I think we live in a microwave society now. And I think we live in a microwave society now. And I think we live in a microwave society now. And I think we live in a microwave society now. And I think we live in a microwave society now. 5 0:08:46 And I think we live in a microwave society now. 1 0:08:47 And I think we live in a microwave society now.

But you're also the production executive on so many shows that we all love and know, Parks and Recreation, The Good Plays, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Master of None, Good Girls, Never Have I Ever, you've been out there in the movie world, Oh My Gosh, All About You, All About Us, For the Love of Ruth, it goes on, Broadway, Ain't Too Proud, The Life and Times of the Temptations, and then of course the upcoming Four Tops musical with Duke Fakir, the only living member producer and your co-producer. I'm excited to know you. I have to think that as you look back at your life and you are having this conversation with me about how important relationships are to going forward in a career, who is loud in your head right now that helped you along the way? Somebody that did something nice for you in your business? 1 0:10:02 Oh yeah, well you know so many people, Jerry D'Acanio, Clay Mattel, Adrian Backus, there are so many people who have impacted my life, my career. Mentors who I've had, Erwin McManus, pastors along the way like Charles Stanley. You don't always have to know. I know all those folks or know of them, but most of them I've had personal relationships with. But I also want to share, you don't have to know them personally. You can have a mentor or someone who can be very influential in your life or your career by reading his or her book, by listening to their podcast, their interviews, by kind of studying their business decisions, if they are entrepreneurs, kind of seeing what pivots they made when the landscape was changing. So you can learn from everyone, even if you've never met him or her along the way. Excellent. That has really impacted my career and my life as a husband, father, friend, executive and entrepreneur. 2 0:11:12 Excellent advice. And we do live in a world where there is an exorbitant amount of information for everybody to tap into free of charge if they have the energy and the desire, right? Absolutely. Let's talk about your family real quick. I know you have a beautiful wife you married to a long time who's also a great talent, Christine Swanson, and then you have four kids. This is a beautiful life you're living. And I've met one of your sons who was adorable. Which one was that? 1 0:11:35 That was Cole. That was our oldest son, Cole Swanson, who recently graduated from college and now he is doing his thing. He is also in the entertainment industry. He graduated from NYU Tisch School of the Art and focused on directing. So we have another filmmaker in the family. 2 0:11:50 Awesome. And the other kids, are they in the business? Are they coming up behind you? 1 0:11:55 I think they are, Debbie. You know, I have a rising sophomore at Stanford University who will probably major in filmmaking and business. I think he has a great producer's mind. My third son, Luke, that was Kenji who is at Stanford, my third son Luke recently completed the acting and theater workshop this summer at USC. Although he is a rising senior in high school, he wants to study acting and he would say be an on-screen actor to make it clear. I said, well you have to start in theater, that's where you really get your training. And then my daughter Julia is entering high school and she is just as smart as anyone. I think it would be great to have an entertainment attorney in the family, so who knows what her career path would be. But Christine, my wife, and I are blessed to have wonderful children. We've been married 29 years, about a week ago. I'm really grateful and just trying to raise some grounded children in Hollywood. 2 0:12:52 Wow, that is a huge accomplishment. So Michael Swanson, you're doing great. Thank you so much for being my guest today. I remembered your good energy when I met you in person. I knew that you would be accommodating and love to share your information about what you said in Forbes, which is how to build a network of professional relationships. Remember, helping other people is a great way to form long-term relationships. Go out of your way to be of service with a genuine motive and an earnest heart. Michael Swanson, NBCUniversal Senior VP of Production, you have a terrific day. Thank you, Debbie. 1 0:13:24 You too.

Such an incredible interview with Paul Lambert! Paul Lambert is an Entertainment Executive and Producer with a strong Digital Marketing background. He has been quoted as saying, "I love to be in positions that require a consensus and team effort to move things forward. One of my greatest thrills is to find ways to bring out the best in others. Most companies and entertainment projects have a lot of moving parts and this ability is critical to their ultimate success”. Paul is a graduate of Moody Bible Institute (Theology major) and then continued his education at Wheaton College (economics). He was a Harvard Prize book Award winner, recipient of a Bank of America Scholarship in the field of fine arts. While a young marketing executive, Paul helped Bob Pitman (MTV) and Bob Geremia (ESPN) experiment and develop the appeal of their pioneering brands for traditional Ad agency business. At the time, these unique networks were unorganized, spontaneous, and enthusiastic but not always the best fit for big traditional Ad Agencies. Paul went on to be President of a NY Advertising Agency for 12 years before turning to entrepreneurial projects and full time Producing. Paul is part pioneer and part enthusiast in everything he does. He was a member of the executive team who closed the first US automotive import deal with China, he convinced both Betty White and Shirley Jones to do regional commercials (unheard of with their status) while in the advertising business, completed a deal with Sherry Lansing (Paramount Pictures) that gave him the rights to adapt the movie "The First Wives Club" as a Musical and worked with Hollywood producing “royalty” -- Suzanne de Passe —in developing a new project, "Driving While Black in Beverly Hills". Mr Lambert has produced theatrical projects in Los Angeles, NY, San Diego, Chicago, Toronto, and Melbourne, Australia. He is currently the lead producer of the NEW Four Tops Musical — "I'll Be There" - with fellow Producers, Duke Fakir (original Four Tops member), and Michael Swanson, Sr VP NBC / Universal Television. He also has attracted Eddie and Brian Holland (of the legendary Motown composing team Holland Dozier Holland) and HB Barnum (Aretha Franklin's music supervisor for 30 years) as the project's arranger and orchestrator; and, Tim Sabean as a key executive in the shows marketing, audience platform development, and IP expansion. "I'll Be There" is slated for an opening in the Fall of 2024. Paul's full-time focus is now creating and producing "branded" entertainment that has both entertainment value and social significance.

Will menu price inflation ultimately hurt restaurants? Michael Swanson, an agricultural economist and consultant with Wells Fargo, joins the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive to discuss the economy and the outlook for inflation.

Restaurants are in a stronger financial position now than they were before the pandemic. This week's episode of A Deeper Dive features Michael Swanson, an agricultural economist and consultant for Wells Fargo. Swanson has been on the podcast before and talks about the current and future state of food costs. Commodity price inflation hammered the industry last year. Those costs have started to ease already and Swanson talks about what to expect come 2023. We also talk about the state of the industry after the pandemic. Restaurants that survived the pandemic are in better shape. Profits actually soared in 2021, thanks to the combination of government assistance and improving sales. And though margins were squeezed in 2022 because of inflation, it still puts the industry in a better position heading into a potential recession. In addition, Swanson talks about why consumers remain reluctant to cut much from their food spending in a downturn.

From rampant inflation to interest rate hikes, from a strong U.S. dollar to volatile equity markets, many are monitoring and bracing for a potential recession. What could that mean for your wallet? And how might dairy demand be impacted? Two analysts join the latest episode of The Dairy Download to discuss.Income, spending, employment and pay are among the watch factors analysts monitor when forecasting recessions. Michael Swanson, Chief Ag Economist with Wells Fargo, tells us how the U.S. economy stacks up in each category – and which wild cards to keep an eye on.Next, we discuss consumers' return to brick-and-mortar locations – and whether high prices are threatening to keep them home again. Where are consumers cutting back, and which categories are still earning their dollars? RJ Hottovy, Head of Analytical Research with Placer.ai, weighs in.The episode is sponsored by Kansas Department of Agriculture."Ready to expand your dairy processing into the premier dairy frontier? There is room to grow in Kansas, the center of it all.

High food price inflation isn't here to stay. And even with recent price increases, we're still getting an exceptional deal on the food we buy today – and a much better deal than we did in the past. While some surprising factors will continue to place upward price pressure on certain parts of our food system, consumers still have the power to manage their food costs to avoid the worst effects of higher food costs. Listen to our "Digging In" podcast to hear Wells Fargo Chief Agricultural Economist Michael Swanson tell us why he believes there's more to the food inflation story than just the scary numbers we see in headlines, or the bigger bill at the checkout counter. Learn more about where the real drivers of higher food costs are across our modern food chain. Listen to his comments on the mistakes we could make in the battle to combat climate change – mistakes that could do more harm than good to our environment. And pay special attention to his advice for consumers on dealing with rising food costs at the supermarket.  It's all on Dirt to Dinner's podcast, Digging In, where we dig into subjects that help you better understand our modern food system and make informed choices with the food you eat.

On this edition of Parallax Views, Michael Swanson of Wall Street Window returns to the program for a segment covering the bear market (declining market), the crypto currency crash, and inflation. We also tackle the RobinHood app, cult-like hucksters in the stock market world, crazy speculation and risky behavior in the stock market, the impact on both regular people engaging in small-trading and professional investors, the potentially explosive violent social phenomena that can arise from crashes, the dot com bubble of the 90s, Facebook's rebranding as Meta after getting negative publicity, bitcoin maximalism, and much, much more. In the second segment of the show, sociologist Eric A. Cech joins us to discuss her thoughtful, provocative book The Trouble With Passion: How Searching for Fulfillment at Work Fosters Inequality. We are often told to "follow our passions" when it comes to seeking out a career. Cech, however, argues that the "Passion Principle" has a dark side in which people are willing to suffer injustices and inequities as a price for following their passion. We discuss the reproduction of inequality and how it reproduces in ways we may not often consider at first, the Meritocratic ideology, Erin's story of being a former "passion evangelist" and how she came to question her beliefs, defining ourselves based on our work rather than any other areas of life, her interviews with college students for the book, Erin's analysis of career-advice books, self-expression in the language of the "Passion Principle"; the growth of precarity in the white-collar work force; neoliberalism; Choicewashing and how the "Passion Principle" structures the way we think about the world by explaining social phenomena not structurally but through the lens of individual choice and personal responsibility; meaning-making and how the "Passion Principle" shapes our sense of identity; Anthony Giddens and the Self-Reflexive Project; what asking children the question "What do you want to be when you grow up?" says about our society; blaming individuals in the labor force at the expense of examining inequities in labor, gender, and race; the pernicious expectation of performative passion in jobs like the barista Starbucks; emotional labor; how class inequality is reproduced by the "Passion Principle"; and much, much more.

Pastor Michael Swanson preaches his last sermon to our congregation today. Drawing inspiration from Paul's farewell sermon to the Ephesians in Acts 20, Pastor Michael says goodbye. He outlines the history and values of The Vine in Phase 1 and encourages the church to head into Phase 2 with hope in God's goodness.

This final message in a series of three on Acts 2 describes two dramatic changes the Holy Spirit brought to that small gathering of believers at Pentecost. First, they were moved out of their building and into the streets, filled with the Holy Spirit's power. Secondly, they were moved towards fresh unity with a those of diverse languages, cultures, and customs. Pastor Michael suggests that right now we may be seeing a fresh work of the Holy Spirit as COVID-19 takes us out of our church building into our neighborhoods and as we hear God's invitation to racial reconciliation in this day. What if in the midst of all our current crises an outpouring of the Holy Spirit is on the way?

If ever there is a time we need an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, it is now. To the stress of the COVID-19 pandemic, have been added an increased awareness of systemic racial injustice and numerous riots in response. This second message in a series on Acts 2, explores our need for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit to help us thrive in these uncertain times. Pastor Michael unpacks two important gifts we are given when the Holy Spirit is poured out: the actual presence of God and transformative power. Both of these were experienced by the early church at Pentecost which radically changed their lives from that day forward. But how can we lean in to receive what the Holy Spirit has for us?

On this Pentecost Sunday 2020, we at The Vine find ourselves in a moment of transition. The state is gradually reopening and we can begin to transition into a gathered church. Pastor Michael announces our next step in that process, but first stresses that more important than when or what gathering will look like, is how we will navigate this transition. Will we allow the Holy Spirit to transform us, like the early church did? Looking at the first Pentecost, described in Acts 2:1-12, Pastor Michael casts vision for this next phase in the life of our church, inviting us to pray, “Come Holy Spirit” as we seek to be empowered for humility, faith, and love. He reminds us that “the only thing that matters is faith expressing itself in love” (Galatians 5:6)
