“What if we thought of the Bronx as an economy of scale? And what if we try to create a plan for the borough that actually brings all of us in, where we share a vision, where we share in leadership, and where the wealth and capital is owned by us and bred by us? So the simple phrase is: what if we ran it?”—Michael Partis Host Isabelle Swiderski sits down with Michael Partis, current Executive Director of the Red Hook Initiative and previously ED of the Bronx Cooperative Development Initiative to discuss the making of the Bronx-wide plan and what it takes to build economic democracy in a borough that's been underestimated and underfunded but never gives up on its people and its values.

This week, we had the pleasure of sitting down with a few students and their facilitators from Red Hook Initiative! In this episode, we get into their Digital Steward program, what they've learned from podcasting, their Summer plans and more. It's our biggest episode yet!!!

In this episode, we speak with Jill Eisenhard, founder and former Executive Director of the Red Hook Initiative in Brooklyn. Since its beginning in 2002, the RHI has worked to create social change and overcome systemic inequities by empowering youth.Since stepping down as Executive Director of the RHI, Jill has been reflecting on the role. It is a role that requires you to be 100% dedicated 100% of the time, often having to perform in areas that aren't your strengths. What if it wasn't? What if we could fundamentally change the structure of the role going forward to make it more inclusive and more collaborative?Listen in as Jill explores creating a more expansive type of leadership, making it sustainable for those that want to step into leadership roles, and the baby steps towards equity that we are seeing.What You'll Learn in This Episode:·       [4:09] Jill's perspective on the next normal and what it will look like.·       [7:06] How the changes in thinking around physical spaces will impact the work that RHI does.·       [11:30] What shifts can happen for Executive Directors and their role?·       [15:23] How stepping out of an Executive Director ole has shaped Jill's perspective on the position.·       [18:30] Understanding the structural flaws of the role of Executive Director.·       [22:10] The necessity of having broader conversations about the structural deficiencies of leadership when passing the torch.·       [26:55] What should leaders bring to the next normal?Key quotes:·       “People … no matter what their industry or age or stage of life, are recognizing that this is a moment, a marker for change.'·       “One big shift that I'm predicting that we'll see is people realizing that you can be a productive worker and a member of a team and not have to physically be in the same space 9-5, Monday to Friday.”·       “I think in some ways it has strengthened community-based organizations because people are more focused and staying closer to home.”·       “I would really love, in the next normal, to be able to think about how can people grow in seniority and in job title and in pay, and stay close and connected to the thing they are really good at and how can there be more space for that.”·       “I would really love to see more organizations and institutions exploring the model of co-Executive Directors.”·       “I think having that space and distance and watching someone else very closely stepping into that and realizing that it was a lot more than it was advertised to me … I just have been thinking a lot about sustainability.”·       “I think that in the nonprofit sector it's not at all uncommon for Executive Directors to just have the mindset of I just have to find a way to do this and it matters. The consequence of not finding a way is telling someone who really needs something that they can't have it.”Resources Mentioned:·       The Red Hook Initiative

Introduction: Jillian Mariutti is a woman who in every sense of the word is truly on a mission to make a difference. Raised from modest roots in South Philadelphia with a great family, Jillian laid the foundation for becoming the real estate rock star that she is as a mathematics major at the University of Pennsylvania. Thereafter, Jillian’s primary role after graduation was to sell derivative products designed to mitigate a developer’s or owner’s interest rate risk on floating rate products. During her career, she has parlayed her quantitative abilities and relationship building skills to help owners and developers secure debt and/or capital to help them realize their dreams and visions.

Gigabit broadband is going to expand the digital divide in some areas, at least in the short term, because gigs go where the money is. Wireless enjoys some advantages in costs and quick deployment that make it a valuable digital inclusion tool for underserved communities today and a backup solution for tomorrow. Tony Schloss, Director of Community Initiatives for the Red Hook Initiative in Brooklyn, NY, is using a wireless mesh network as a job creator and a tool for economic development. Nearly half of economic development pros in a recent survey believe broadband networks can be used to encourage individual entrepreneurship among underserved constituents. Schloss tells listeners how they can achieve these objectives in their communities. Listeners get an overview of how to raise money and deploy wireless technology, mobilize people to organize and participate in digital programs, help develop basic applications, create community-centric content and keep operations going. Schloss also discusses some of Red Hook's successes working with youths and what steps communities can take to replicate these.
