On today's episode of Closed!, Lee is joined by Danny Pearlstein, longtime transit advocate and Policy & Communications Director at the Riders Alliance, to talk about one of the most controversial—and effective—urban policies in New York City: congestion pricing.Danny breaks down how this decades-in-the-making plan is finally working: reducing gridlock, speeding up buses, and bringing in much-needed revenue to upgrade the MTA. We get into the legal fights, the political pushback (from New Jersey to Washington), and why opponents' arguments just don't hold up. Danny also shares what's next for NYC transit, from fare reform to long-term capital investment—and why congestion pricing may just be the beginning.If you've ever taken the subway, sat in Midtown traffic, or wondered what it takes to run a world-class transit system, this one's for you.Learn more and get involved at ridersalliance.orgAnd as always, to learn more about real estate and the law, visit bflawoffice.com Hosted on Acast.

In a time where the threat of authoritarianism is on the rise, how might we take the next step toward creating truly equitable and thriving societies?This question, for many, may feel increasingly out of reach.And yet for redemptive thinker, and visionary leader john a. powell,it serves as one of the central lines of inquiry in his work. johh a. powell is the Director of the Othering and Belonging Institute at the University of California, Berkeley, A civil rights advocate, And an author who has written books including: Belonging Without Othering: How We Save Ourselves and the World. Woven throughout his writings and teachings - he brings our attention again and again to the root of inequality. A root born out of the process of 'othering'. A process that primes us to see people as a threat,which leads to fear, disconnection, and the fracturing of our society.And while John addresses the root cause of so much suffering,One of the things I greatly appreciate about his work is that he  simultaneously invites us to consider an alternative path.A way forward that calls upon the better angels of our nature. In his words:“We can overcome the illusion of separateness by honoring our differences, transcending the notion that difference divides us, and instead co-create a world where everyone belongs.”Today we will explore some of John's profound insights, stories, and practices for increasing belonging which include:Bridging, a practice which fosters acceptance both of those we might have othered, and aspects of ourselvesSpirituality and remembering our interconnected natureCuriosityThe power of presenceAnd ultimately how we can meet others, including ourselves, from a place of love instead of fearFor more on john, his work, and his new book The Power Bridging, please visit johnapowell.orgAnd for more on the incredible work coming out of the othering and belonging institute check out belonging.berkeley.eduDid you find this episode inspiring?

DescriptionWelcome back folks, Season 4 of Better Preach is here, and we kick things off with a really special episode, one that was recorded and filmed live (Check out YouTube) at SEEK 2025 in Salt Lake City. You are going to love this conversation, Fr. John didn't blink at any of the questions I shared - it was an incredible conversation to be a part of. And the big takeaway for me was how well knit together is the gift of preaching and a daily personal prayer life.Father John Burns is a priest of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. He studied business at the University of Notre Dame but then realized a deeper call to give his whole life to God. He was ordained in 2010, and in 2019 he completed a doctorate in moral theology on the topic of healing through forgiveness. He is founder of Friends of the Bridegroom, an apostolate dedicated to the renewal of the Church through the renewal of the priesthood and women's religious life.Check out “Friends of the Bridegroom” here: https://renewreligious.orgAnd connect with Fr.
