Go to www.LearningLeader.com for full show notes This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire 1 person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world have the hustle and grit to deliver. Go to www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader Rich Gotham is the President of the Boston Celtics. He is responsible for all aspects of the Celtics' business operations. In addition, he works closely with Celtics ownership, basketball operations staff, and the NBA on basketball-related matters, as well as team and league initiatives. He succeeds “Red” Auerbach as Celtics team President and serves on the NBA Board of Governors. Since joining the Celtics in 2003, he's helped grow team revenues by over 300%, and they've won two NBA championships. Notes: Must-haves when making hiring decisions for a leadership role: Work ethic, self-awareness, a catalyst for positive energy, purpose-driven, and care ("give a shit"). At the time, the Celtics were run like a mom-and-pop shop. Rich was brought in to help them run like a professional business. Rich was recruited to the Celtics by new owner (at the time), Wyc Grousbeck. 3 different people told Wyc that he should talk to Rich. – Add value. Leave people better than you found them. They will refer you to others for big jobs without you even knowing it. Celtic pride - grew up there, made you proud to be from Boston. "Different here." 18-time champs. Pressure from fans to win: It beats indifference. Making bets on potential - Hiring Brad Stevens. Danny Ainge did a great job selling it to Brad. Watching Payton Pritchard warm up. He cares. Working with the Bruins and Red Sox leaders – Lower the ego, put yourself in their shoes. Seek first to understand. And find a way to get it done. Rich went outside of the office to meet regularly with a leader of the Boston Bruins to get their lease squared away. That had been an issue for decades, and he helped get it figured out so both sides could win. Advice - You have to have self-belief, believe in your ability. Don't let that get chipped away. Why should they pick you? Be vulnerable. Leave others better than you found them.

The Boston Celtics reached a sale price of over six billion dollars, marking a historic moment in sports. Bill Chisholm, managing partner at Symphony Technology Group, agreed to purchase the team for $6.1 billion, pending NBA Board of Governors approval. This sale exceeds the previous record of $6.05 billion set by the Washington Commanders in 2023 and the NBA record of $4 billion established by the Phoenix Suns. Chisholm, a Massachusetts native with a net worth of approximately $10 billion, brings extensive knowledge of the franchise. If the sale occurs, the Grousbeck family, current majority owners, could realize an estimated return on investment of around 1,700%.

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Friday, July 14th, 2023. Redballoon Not so long ago, the American dream was alive and well. Employees who worked hard were rewarded, and employers looked for people who could do the job, not for people who had the right political views.

Rutte, the longest-serving Dutch prime minister and a sharp tactician who has presided over four different governing coalitions, does not appear to have an immediate successor lined up. Rutte’s looming vacancy and the waning popularity of his People's Party for Freedom and Democracy could also clear the way for him to be replaced by someone on the far Right, as growing controversies over migration, farming, and nitrogen emissions reduction targets continue to sow deep divisions among voters. The Dutch government agreed last summer to comply with the European Union’s nitrate directive, a mandate that requires the country to slash 50% of its nitrogen emissions by 2030 — and which it plans to do primarily by reducing nitrogen-heavy fertilizer deposits on its many livestock farms. That agreement touched off a massive protest by tens of thousands of Dutch farmers, who massed in the streets to protest the decision, which they decried as unrealistic and unfair, given the country's status as a farming and agriculture powerhouse. Roughly 40,000 people took part in the demonstrations, gathering outside government buildings, setting fire to bales of hay, and using their many tractors to block Dutch highways, canals, and warehouses. The protests all but forced the country’s economy to a standstill — and may have also played a role in reshaping the country's political tide. Just months after the summer protests, the Farmers Citizens Movement, a populist, pro-farmer party known by its Dutch acronym of BBB, swept to power in the country’s provincial elections, ultimately gaining enough seats in parliament to put it on par with the left-of-center Labor Party and the Green Party in the Senate. Leaders of BBB, a party formed only three years earlier, made a name for themselves largely by appealing to the anger of farmers and others who work in the Dutch agriculture sector and campaigned on the promise of fighting the EU’s mandated nitrogen emissions targets. This week's news of Rutte’s departure, coupled with the rise of BBB, is widely expected to exacerbate existing deep-seated divisions over the future of agriculture and farming in the Netherlands. It also makes it far less likely that the splintered parties will be able to strike a compromise on key politically fraught issues, including nitrate emissions. In the near term, the Dutch government will effectively be held at a standstill, since Rutte will remain in his position through November to oversee a so-called “caretaker” government. Leading a caretaker government means that Rutte and the holdover group of officials are unable to approve new and important policy decisions until a new government is formed later this year. Until then, action will be suspended for months on key issues — including the country's ability to pass important policies on migration or climate, including taking further action on the EU’s nitrate directive. In May, the European Commission approved the Dutch government’s plan to buy out some of its most heavily polluting farms at roughly 120% of their value. The plan, estimated to cost around $1.65 billion, was aimed at helping the government deliver on its nitrogen emissions reduction commitments without sparking the deep unrest seen last summer. In announcing the effort, it warned the buyouts could become compulsory if farmers do not comply. “There is no better offer coming,” Dutch Nitrogen Minister Christianne van der Wal told members of parliament. The Netherlands is the EU’s largest emitter of nitrogen oxide and ammonia and was ordered by the European Court of Justice in 2018 to address the problem. It also has a nitrogen balance nearly twice the European average — the majority of which comes from farming. And if it hopes to deliver on its 50% nitrogen reduction target by 2030, the Dutch government must act quickly — it has estimated that to meet its goal, 11,200 farms in the country will have to close. Roughly 17,600 others will have to significantly reduce their livestock numbers. But that has not gone over smoothly in the Netherlands, a farming and agriculture powerhouse where disagreements over nitrogen pollution reductions have sparked bitter protest and disagreement. Despite its size of just 16,158 square miles — an area only slightly larger than the state of Maryland — the Netherlands is home to more than 110 million livestock and 54,000 agricultural businesses. It is the most intensively farmed country in all of Europe, and the world’s second-largest exporter of agricultural goods, behind only the United States. Farm and agriculture groups in the Netherlands have slammed the Dutch government’s plans as “unrealistic," according to the farming group LTO, and argued that the country's farmers have been unfairly targeted compared to other industries, which they argue remain comparably unscathed. Others point to the massive amount of revenue generated by agriculture exports, which totaled roughly 105 billion euros in 2021 alone. "This is not going to work," LTO Netherland Chairman Sjaak van der Tak, whose organization represents 35,000 farmers, said in response to the government targets. Others fear these divisions in the Netherlands could portend a larger trend in Europe and the Western world as environmental targets grow more ambitious. https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-secret-service-says-no-suspect-in-white-house-cocaine-scandal?utm_campaign=64487 Secret Service says 'no suspect' in White House cocaine scandal The Secret Service has reportedly concluded its investigation into the bag of cocaine that was discovered in the White House. But no suspect has been identified, according to two sources, per CNN. The Secret Service looked through visitor logs and surveillance footage of those who came into the West Wing in the days leading up to the discovery, but they came up short. Investigators weren't even able to identify a specific moment or day when the baggie was left inside the White House. One source said the prevailing theory is that the baggie was left behind by one of the hundreds of visitors who entered the West Wing for tours. The cubbies where the small bag of cocaine was apparently found were in a blind spot for surveillance cameras, per the report. This has made it difficult to pin down who may have been responsible. Representative Tim Burchett posted a video on Twitter about the investigation: https://twitter.com/i/status/1679502198374277120 - Play Video A so-called powdery substance was discovered at the beginning of July, and speculation has since swirled as to who it may have belonged to. By July 5, officials had confirmed that the powdery substance was, in fact, cocaine. According to Politico, an unidentified source familiar with the case said that it's "gonna be very difficult for us to do that because of where it was," noting that the baggie was discovered in a blind spot that wasn't picked up by the surveillance cameras. Though the substance was discovered in the heavily trafficked West Wing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the Biden family was not at the White House when the substance was discovered on Sunday. Joe, Jill, and Hunter had dashed to Camp David on the previous Friday, and they returned to the White House on Tuesday for Independence Day. https://twitter.com/i/status/1676673509819404301 - Play Video However, there has been speculation as to whether the cocaine belonged to Hunter Biden, who has openly spoke about his drug problems. Hunter was reportedly at the White House in the days before the cocaine was discovered. But there has been no evidence to directly connect the baggie of cocaine to the president's son. Jean-Pierre had previously been asked whether the Biden administration would seek out prosecution if the culprit was found, but she evaded the question by saying she was "not going to get into hypotheticals."

The NBA Board of Governors approved a rule change that will make flopping a technical foul for the 2023-24 season, the league announced Tuesday, the result of increasing frustrations from fans and teams toward players who go out of their way to sell contact. The change will come on a one-year trial basis. Specifically, when a game official calls a flop, defined by the NBA as "a physical act that reasonably appears to be intended to cause the officials to call a foul on another player," the offending player will be charged with a non-unsportsmanlike technical foul and give the other team one free-throw attempt. Because of the nature of the technical foul, a player will not be ejected from a game due to flopping violations. Refs will also not have to interrupt play to call a flop, as they can wait until the next stoppage to hit a player with the penalty. The NBA specifically notes it's possible for the officials to call both a foul and a flop on the same play. The league also instituted a change that will give coaches a second challenge if their first challenge is successful. Flopping was previously punished with a warning, then fines escalating from $5,000 to $30,000. Such punishments were rare. The fines will change now that flopping is a tech, as it will be rolled into the existing fines for technical fouls instead. The NBA was already trying out this system in the Summer League. Lester Quinones of the Golden State Warriors was the first player to feel the effect, getting called for a flop during a break in play.

Disclaimer: you don't have to know or like anything about basketball to enjoy this interview ;)    Jeanie Buss is the controlling owner and president of the LA Lakers - and quite frankly, the road she took to get there could be a season of ‘Succession'.  As the owner and president of the Lakers, she's one of the most powerful people in professional sports — and the true story of the Lakers is her origin story as well.    Her father, Jerry Buss, was the majority owner of the Lakers from when he bought the team in 1979 until he died in 2013. His 66% controlling ownership was eventually distributed amongst his six children through a trust, with each of them being granted an equal vote, and installing Jeanie as the Lakers' governor and the team representative at NBA Board of Governors meetings. Per her father's succession plan, Jeanie was chosen to take over as president and controlling owner and later became the first female controlling owner to guide her team to an NBA championship.[4]   We spoke about the ways Jeanie has steadfastly paved the way for herself in a male-dominated industry, specifically how she unapologetically embraced her femininity by doing things like posing in Playboy the same year as becoming president of The Forum…*chefs kiss*. She shot her pictorial in the stadium the Lakers played - where her father worked – and well, I just live for that kind of ballsiness.    We talked about her relationship with the former head coach of the Lakers, Phil Jackson, as well as their breakup, her decision not to have children, about the last memory she has of Kobe Bryant and how that tremendous loss impacted her. She opened up about the parts of her childhood she had to heal from, the surprise of gaining a full-blood sibling she didn't know existed until a couple years ago, and the impossible aspects of working for the family business.    Needless to say, working so intimately with your family leaves room for conflicts, and the Buss family has definitely had their fair share. Many of you are probably familiar with a specific conflict between Jeanie and her brother Jim that resulted in her firing him, because, in short, she was worried he'd make trades the Lakers couldn't recover from. In response Jeanie's older brothers sued her and mounted a campaign to remove Jeanie from her position. We talked about making that decision and where she and her brother stand today.   Download this episode of Tell Me About It with Jade Iovine wherever you get your podcasts!

Spike Lee talks about the protesters, The Knicks and his new movie. Da 5 Bloods is a 2020 American war drama film directed and produced by Spike Lee. Four African American Vietnam veterans return to Vietnam in search of the remains of their fallen squad leader and the promise of buried treasure. These heroes battle forces of humanity and nature while confronted by the lasting ravages of the immorality of the Vietnam War. Spike also talks about his feelings when he see's The American Flag Lee admits that he “see's a broken promise” when looking at The United States Flag. Something he reminds us you will see in the film Da 5 Bloods. The star of the filmmakers latest work is Chadwick Boseman who's character tells his fellow bloods how “black people having been fighting for the United States from the very beginning.”  Lee in the interview gives us an example by saying “the first person to die for this country at the Boston Massacre was Crispus Attucks in 1770.” He went on to say “the whole Kaepernick kneeling was all about what we are marching for today, the whole narrative got twisted. Colin wasn't protesting the US Flag or the veterans that fought for this country, he was kneeling for social injustice.”    The iconic filmmaker wrote the script for “Do The Right Thing” back in 1988, some 31 years ago. He explains how that award winning film is so relevant today.  What's up with The Knicks biggest Fan? Is Spike back on the bandwagon? He updates us on his relationship with the New York Knicks. Lee said “he will not return for any more games for the remainder of the season”. All Spike Lee wanted to do was use the employee entrance at Madison Square Garden. Really, it's all he knows. A long time New York Knicks superfan, has been using it for 28 years.. But suddenly, they wouldn't let him — security told him to use a different entrance.Lee was then in a full-on feud with the Knicks and team owner James Dolan over his treatment.Lee explained, we will wait and see how the new GM Leon Rose does with hiring a new coach and filling out his roster.  Fans questioned how the franchise could treat its biggest fan with such disrespect. Which turns out that they have been eliminated from this years playoffs.
