Tony Conley kicks off his fifteenth episode with a three-part interview of Fred Wszolek, who works with clients to define the strategies and messages that will ensure victory. He brings more than three decades of political experience to his work. From campaign manager in the field to media producer in the studio, Fred has been involved in winning political and issue campaigns since 1984. Fred is an innovator in politics. Working with a team of nationally recognized pollsters, Fred helped develop MicroTargeting, the first “Big Data” targeting and market segmentation tools available to Republican campaigns in America. In 2002, Campaigns & Elections magazine named Fred one of the Rising Stars of Politics. Fred's broadcast advertising work for candidates and ballot proposals has been recognized with numerous Pollie, Telly and Communicator Awards. Fred has developed a particular specialty in the passage and defeat of ballot proposals, where he has developed a unique public opinion research methodology for determining what messages will push voters to cast their votes for or against the huge number of direct democracy proposals that are appearing on ballots in many states. Their discussion covers Let MI Kids Learn, Giving Parents Control – Expanding Opportunities for Michigan Students. All children deserve an exceptional education. Let's trust parents, not bureaucrats, to make the best decisions for their kids. The pandemic took a heavy toll on Michigan students. Now's the time to support Michigan's students, to give parents more control, and to expand opportunities for every student. Both the Michigan House and Senate passed this legislation, but Governor Gretchen Whitmer wouldn't add her signature for it to become law. Now if more than 340,000 Michigan voters add their signature to our initiative petitions, these opportunities can be a reality for Michigan children and families. » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCqNX… » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/ Thank you to Benjamin Robinson and Motor City Skyline's music

Collegiate Recovery Programs: Supporting Second Chances was presented on Tuesday March 27, 2018; by Mary Jo Desprez, MA; Director, Wolverine Wellness, University Health Service, University of Michigan; Matthew Statman, LMSW, CAADC; University of Michigan Collegiate Recovery Program Manager; and a panel of University of Michigan Students for Recovery members. The transition to a college environment can pose significant risk to a recovering student and to students at risk for alcohol/other drug problems. Many colleges and universities, including the University of Michigan, have developed programs to help recovering students maintain their recovery, excel academically and have a normative college experience apart from the culture of alcohol and other drug use. This presentation will provide an overview of the national and local efforts to build recovery support programs on college campuses, discuss support that is provided to recovering students by collegiate recovery programs, and provide information about what parents and students can look for as they explore their options for pursuing a degree of higher education. The panel will share their stories of Collegiate Recovery Program participation.

In this episode Kelly speaks with three high school seniors from Kalamazoo Central High School in Michigan--Jenna, Jake, and Julia--about a group they founded, with several other students, in the wake of the Parkland school shooting, called Michigan Students for Gun Legislation. The group started a petition called "Students Fighting Guns Since Adults Won't," which has collected over 170,000 signatures, and traveled to Lansing to speak at a rally for gun legislation and meet with their state legislators to discuss gun laws. They are organizing voter registration drives for area high schools and are planning to participate in the March 14 walkout and the March for Our Lives and are encouraging other students throughout Michigan to join their cause.

In the Doctor’s Office: Recovery Friend or Foe? was presented on October 24, 2017; by Mark A. Weiner, MD, D-FASAM; and Matthew Statman, LMSW, CAADC; University of Michigan Collegiate Recovery Program Manager. Addiction is widely recognized as a chronic illness best treated with long-term monitoring and support. Primary health care settings are natural places for this care to be provided. However, it's been said that the doctor's office can be a dangerous place for people in recovery from addiction. It's also been said that recovering people can be terrible patients. This program will discuss whether these statements are fair, and why healthcare providers are essential allies for long term recovery. The program will provide a basic overview of the neurobiology of addiction and its implications for health care consumers and providers, list specific concerns related to medications, describe ways in which people in recovery from alcohol/other drug addiction can take responsibility for their health and discuss how health care providers can assist with sustaining recovery.
