What are five things you will learn in this episode? What economic benefits accrue from access to tuition-free two- and four-year college? What are the potential downsides of access to tuition-free college? What is the public take on the issue of tuition-free college What are the current political realities for making college free in 2022?

One thing is clear: localism shapes the future of work. This week, we re-visit our 2018 interview with Doug Ross and Morley Winograd. They are, with Mike Hais, the co-authors of the book Healing American Democracy: Going Local. When Joe Biden becomes President on January 20, 2021, he will engage with a deeply divided government. Meantime, real governing power is "going local" by moving to our nation's city councils and county boards. And besides, local lawmakers, not the president nor Congress, will scale our nation's economy and drive the future of work. In this episode, Doug and Morley discuss how localism shapes the future of work. They: Explain why so many Americans have lost faith in our current top-down form of American Democracy. Starts at 4:47 Define their concept of “constitutional localism” and describe how it would operate and provide benefit. Starts at 7:05 Illustrate how “turning scale upside down” to create and staff smaller numbers of new jobs—dozens versus thousands—would help local communities thrive. Starts at 20:01 Identify how localism can become the linchpin for success in creating more meaningful work opportunities. Starts at 23:47 Furthermore, as localism shapes the future of work, Morley says: “People aren’t trying to create the next Budweiser. [They are trying to create] the next IPA that they can sell in the local bar and to drive a nice little employment world that is self-contained and capable of hiring and keeping people at work in their community.” About our guests: Doug Ross Morley Winograd Doug Ross and Morley Winograd are nationally known and respected political practitioners who cross solid data and wishful thinking to paint a hopeful portrait of America based on the idea of constitutional localism. Doug was a state senator from Michigan and a U.S. Assistant Secretary of Labor under President Bill Clinton.

We usually think of “finding” our passion in life, but what if we start creating our passion rather than trying to find it? With his dedication powering a lifetime of dreams, my guest today has already firmly etched his footprint on history. Not only has he served in the political arena, but Morley Winograd is also an author, visionary, business executive, and teacher. His life is one of passion and purpose — and I can’t wait for you to hear his story today. In this episode, Morley shares how reinvention has been a constant theme in his life. I think you’ll walk away from this show inspired to do the same.

Bridgeport: City Strives for Meaningful Work. About this episode: "We are in a global race for innovation, and, if we do not prepare—and we can't wait for kids to graduate high school and college—we need that work now." - Career coach and entrepreneur Natalie Pryce The city of Bridgeport—the second largest in the state of Connecticut—was once an industrial powerhouse. Fueled by New Deal-era federal investment, Bridgeport became home to companies that supported our armed forces during World War II. After the war, and through the mid-1960s, Bridgeport needed so much skilled labor that people arrived from across the U.S. and Puerto Rico to live and work there. But, in the 1970s, Bridgeport fell into despair. Companies left town and took most of the skilled jobs with them. Whole blocks of the city’s industrial center closed down and high unemployment followed. And, adding insult to injury, Bridgeport lost a thriving downtown where new businesses could start up and restaurants and other attractions could drive a civic renaissance. Bridgeport: City Strives for Meaningful Work In their book, Healing American Democracy: Going Local, authors Mike Hais, Doug Ross, and Morley Winograd describe how constitutional localism is moving decision-making and governing authority away from Washington to our cities. The result? Our localities are beginning to thrive, businesses are succeeding where—for decades—they had previously failed. Best of all, cities and small communities are becoming places where people want to live and do meaningful work. In a segment not previously streamed on The Tightrope podcast, Doug and Morley describe how Bridgeport is one of many American cities that is going local to again make it an attractive place to live and work. We also meet a young entrepreneur who has her own take on Bridgeport’s efforts at driving localism. Career counselor and business owner Natalie Pryce describes some of the challenges the city continues to face for it to again be a thriving and scaling business and residential community. In this podcast episode: Doug and Morley describe Bridgeport's steps at achieving localism [starts at 3:15] Natalie offers her sobering perspective on Bridgeport's localism efforts [starts at 9:30] About our guests: Doug Ross and Morley Winograd are nationally known and respected political practitioners who cross solid data and wishful thinking to paint a hopeful portrait of America based on the idea of constitutional localism.

The authors have appeared as guests on CNN, The Today Show, PBS News Hour, and Univision. They have also been featured in stories in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, USA Today, and The Christian Science Monitor. Natalie Pryce is a self-described introvert who by her own admission did not fair well in grade school. Yet, she learned grit by playing outdoor sports with the boys is her neighborhood, and, early computer coding with her brother. She fought against all of the obstacles of her youth to become a bold and engaging TedX speaker, a trailblazing entrepreneur, and a passionate career coach who successfully reengages downsized work professionals, at a rate exceeding 90 percent. Natalie received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications from Central Connecticut State University. She lives and works in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

Going local creates meaningful work. “People aren’t trying to create the next Budweiser. They are trying to create the next IPA that they can sell in the local bar and to drive a nice little employment world that is self-contained and capable of hiring and keeping people at work in their community.” - Morley Winograd, Co-author of Healing American Democracy: Going Local One revolutionary change happening in the United States right now is largely overlooked by our Members of Congress, top business executives and other thought-leaders. It is the rise of localism, and the transcendence of something called “constitutional localism,” that is revitalizing local communities across the country while creating new and economically sustainable sources of commerce and meaningful work. Helping us to understand this seismic change in our governance are Doug Ross and Morley Winograd. Together with Mike Hais they are the authors of the important new book Healing American Democracy: Going Local. In it, they explain how governing authority is shifting away from Washington to our localities. As a result, citizens are becoming engaged, new locally owned and operated businesses are thriving, and more of us are finding and doing meaningful work in the places where we want to live. In this episode of The Tightrope with Dan Smolen podcast, they: Explain why so many Americans have lost faith in our current top-down form of American Democracy [starts at 3:45] Define their concept of “constitutional localism” and describe how it would operate and provide benefit [starts at 5:58] Illustrate how “turning scale upside down” to create and staff smaller numbers of new jobs—dozens versus thousands—would help local communities thrive [starts at 18:54] Identify how localism can become the linchpin for success in creating more meaningful work opportunities [starts at 22:41] Going local creates meaningful work.

Host David Bloom talks with authors Mike Hais and Morley Winograd about their latest book, "Healing American Democracy: Going Local." It proposes that young Americans (Millennials and their successor generation, the "Plurals") can bypass the partisan gridlock afflicting national politics by putting "Think Globally, Act Locally" to work in a big way. They propose harnessing the civic-minded younger generations to empower local solutions while protecting Constitutional rights. Big Data and sharing technologies can be used to power the local solutions, while making it easier for other jurisdictions to discover and replicate successful approaches. Give a listen and let me know what you think. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/davidlbloom/support

Aired 12/01/08 Morley Winograd and Michael Hais, Authors of Best-Seller Millennial Makeover. Morley Winograd is the executive director of the Institute for Communication Technology Management (CTM) at the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business. He is also the president and CEO of Morwin, Inc., a government reform consulting company. Michael D. Hais served for a decade as Vice President, Entertainment Research and for more than 22 years overall at Frank N. Magid Associates where he conducted audience research for hundreds of television stations, cable channels, and program producers in nearly all 50 states and more than a dozen foreign countries. Millennial Makeover builds a strong case for how today's rising generation is poised to become a political powerhouse, re-energizing civic spirit and transforming both the substance and process of American politics. With new technologies, attitudes, and agendas, this generation could define the twenty-first century just as fundamentally as the G.I. Generation defined the twentieth century. Winograd and Hais build a strong, historically rooted case for how this could unfold. -- Neil Howe and William Strauss, authors of Generations: The History of America's Future, 1584-2069 http://www.millennialmakeover.com
