For decades, large corporations have privatized their massive profits while quietly shifting environmental, social, and health costs onto the public. Unpacking these systemic costs is central to the discussion in The Profiteers, which diagnoses how business practices impact society at large. In this episode, host Corinna Bellizzi speaks with Christopher Marquis, Professor of Chinese Management at the University of Cambridge Judge Business School and author of Better Business, to analyze the hidden mechanics of corporate externalities. From plastics lobbying and regulatory co-optation to visionary models of regenerative agriculture and foundation ownership, they explore why exposing systemic corporate abuse is the first crucial step toward real reform. Discover how innovative enterprise models, policy levers, and conscious consumer choices can help build a truly sustainable and regenerative economy. About Guest: Professor Marquis' research and teaching focus on how some of the biggest crises of our day – including climate change, inequality, and discrimination – are intimately connected to how our current economic and societal systems prioritize accumulating and concentrating wealth for the few over the concerns and needs of everyone and everything else. His research and writing focus on the need to rebalance the interactions between corporations, governments, and civil society to deliver socially and environmentally beneficial outcomes to all. Marquis is the author of The Profiteers: How Business Privatizes Profits and Socialize Costs. His earlier books include the award-winning Better Business: How the B Corp Movement is Remaking Capitalism and Mao and Markets: The Communist Roots of Chinese Enterprise, which was a Financial Times Best Book of 2022. He has also authored more than 20 peer-reviewed academic articles and more than 50 Harvard business cases on topics related to social innovation, sustainable business and doing business in China. Professor Marquis served 2 terms as an Associate Editor at Administrative Science Quarterly and has also been a Senior Editor at Organization Science and Management and Organization Review. He has also served a term as Representative at Large for the International Association for Chinese Management Research (IACMR) and Organization and Management Theory Division, Academy of Management. Before returning to academia, Marquis was a Vice President and Technology Manager at JP Morgan Chase. He currently is on the sustainability advisory board of the French multinational Sanofi Consumer Healthcare.

In this podcast: -America's national debt reaches $40 trillion, highlighting decades of spending supported by politicians from both parties. -The show argues that Congress is not necessarily dysfunctional from politicians' perspective: a system that rewards incumbents and reelection can be working exactly as intended. -Congressional term limits are presented as a way to change the incentives that encourage politicians to prioritize reelection, special interests, and continued spending. -Evidence from states suggests that term limits are associated with slower growth in government revenues and expenditures, while lobbying becomes less effective. -The episode highlights several 2026 elections and political developments involving term limits, including Ralph Norman's Senate runoff and President Trump's renewed expression of support for congressional term limits.

On our radar this week… Another bad week for the 80-year-old President as he gets roasted by Jon Ossoff with a riff that mentioned Natalie and infuriated Trump, setting off a social media frenzy with a​ttacks on the Georgia senator along with CNN and the reporter who asked Trump about the mention of his consta​​nt companion. Trump's priority issue this week seems to be as construction boss for the White House. He's ordered his Justice Department to appeal a halt to further construction of his gold-encrusted ballroom; gave the press a guided tour of his granite helicopter pad construction project; used the tour to promote campaign contributor Scotts Turf Builder; attacked still another female reporter for asking him a question; and saw more of his endorsed candidates lose in their primaries. The Democratic Party's statewide ticket is now complete, with Jocelyn Benson choosing state Senate Majority Leader Winnie Brinks as her running mate. It's the first-ever two-woman top-of-the-ticket in Michigan history … running against an all-male Republican ticket. John James choice of state House Oversight Committee chair Jay DeBoyer is drawing heat over his refusal to investigate alleged widespread sexual abuse of children at Interlochen. DeBoyer says it's a criminal matter and he criticizes Attorney General Nessel for not launching an investigation, overlooking the fact that Nessel has told local law enforcement the resources of her department are available to assist them in any way useful. Our friend Mark the Lawyer had two big wins this week. One could change the outcome of a city election, the other protects voter rights. We know now that there will be two proposals on the November ballot. Proposal one is the constitutionally required vote on whether to rewrite Michigan's constitution which we discussed last week. Proposal 2 would, if enacted, put tight limits on corporate campaign contributions from state utilities and companies doing $250,000 or more in contracts with the state. The Democratic National Committee has made it official: Michigan will be in the first band of presidential primary elections, fifth on the list of primaries and the first large battleground state in the mix. The parade of wannabe presidents has already begun with a high visibility visit from Gavin Newsom, and the announcement that J.D. Pritzker will headline a major state party fundraiser in September. We can add to the mix the potential candidacy of two Michigan Democrats. (Neither Pete Buttigieg or Elissa Slotkin say they are running, but they are talking and acting like candidates.) Joining the podcast this week is perhaps the best political analyst in the state: Congresswoman Debbie Dingell. She's in her 5th term representing portions of southeast Michigan. She is a member of the Energy and Commerce Committee and the Natural Resources Committee, where she leads on critical issues including affordable and accessible health care, clean energy and water, domestic manufacturing and supply chain resilience, and protecting our wildlife and natural resources. Debbie Dingell is part of one of the most remarkable stories of a family's public service in U.S. history. There has been a Dingell in the U.S. House of Representatives for 94 years: John Dingell Senior was first elected in the 1932 Roosevelt landslide and served for 22 years. His son John Jr. is a legend, serving a record 60 years. Upon his retirement in 2015 he was succeeded by his wife Debbie. A hallmark of their service has been a proposal for a national health insurance system, first introduced by John Sr. in 1933 and re-introduced since at every Congress by the father and then the son. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Subscribe to our YouTube channel ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Republic, If You Can Keep It is supported by

Tim Walberg, Representative for Michigan's Fifth Congressional District and member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and House Education and the Workforce Committee.

Brady discusses growing competition for America's skilled-trades workforce as the data-center and AI construction boom recruits electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and other tradespeople. He examines concerns that the labor shift could worsen existing housing shortages and make it more difficult and expensive to build new homes. 1:44:56 – Ivey Gruber, President of the Michigan Talk Network.

Jared Huffman is the only member of Congress to publicly state that he does not believe in any god. In politics, disavowing religion can be a liability, but Huffman argues that more than ever, the separation of church and state is vital. A formerly devout Mormon, he sees Christian nationalism as America's most dangerous political movement, especially after witnessing the January 6 insurrection up close and seeing the “ministry-industrial complex” at work in the halls of Congress. Huffman lays out his arguments and calls for a secular democracy in his new book “No Prophets.” Guest: Jared Huffman, U.S. Representative, California's 2nd congressional district – Which covers six counties including all of Marin and Mendocino and much of Sonoma; author, “No Prophets: The Fight to Save Democracy from Christian Nationalism” Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to Rate Payers First, where we cut through the noise on America's energy crisis. Join host David Blackmon, Stu Turley, and Frm Representative Jason Isaac as we expose the policies destroying your wallet, threatening national security, and crippling American energy independence. From windfall profit taxes to grid failures to Chinese equipment in our power lines—we're asking the questions Washington won't answer. Because affordable, reliable energy isn't a luxury. It's the foundation of prosperity, security, and freedom.This podcast is going out on both the Energy News Beat, and Energy Impacts Podcast and we highly recommend following Jason Isaac on his LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonaisaac/, and also his website: https://americanenergyinstitute.com/Also check out David Blackmon's Substack https://blackmon.substack.com/, and The Energy News Beat Substack https://theenergynewsbeat.substack.com/1. Oil & Gas Pricing & Market DynamicsThe hosts debate President Trump's comments about oil companies "price gouging" on gasoline. They explain the "rocket and feather effect"—how prices spike quickly when supply concerns arise but take longer to fall. They note current gas prices are actually lower than during the Biden administration and lower than historical averages, despite public frustration.2. Windfall Profit Tax ConcernsDiscussion of proposed Democratic legislation (Ro Khanna and Bernie Sanders) to impose windfall profit taxes on oil companies. The guests argue this would ultimately harm consumers by raising costs and reducing investment, citing Texas as an example of how lower business taxes attract companies and economic growth.3. Data Centers & Critical Digital InfrastructureA major focus on the AI race against China and the importance of data centers. They contrast Governor Hokel's ban on data centers in New York with Governor Abbott's measured approach in Texas—a temporary halt to review environmental impacts. Key points include data centers' economic benefits (jobs, tax revenue, $1 billion to Texas education last year) and the need to protect water resources through responsible practices like desalination.4. Energy Grid Reliability & Market ReformExtensive discussion of Texas's grid challenges, including:Poor market design that doesn't reward reliabilityOver-reliance on intermittent wind and solar (53 GW added vs. only 3 GW of natural gas in 5 years)Rate payers bearing billions in costs to keep thermal plants on standbyLaunch of "Rate Payers First" coalition to advocate for consumer protection5. Supply Chain & National Security IssuesConcerns about Chinese equipment in the U.S. electrical grid, including:Chinese-made solar components and battery storage systemsRemote communication devices pinging back to ChinaThe incident at Camp Lejeune where a battery storage system was remotely restarted after being shut downNeed to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. and allied nations6. Wind & Solar Infrastructure ProblemsEnvironmental and practical concerns about renewable energy installations:Wind turbine graveyards in Sweetwater, Texas with disposal challengesOil leaking from turbine bases contaminating farmlandMassive concrete foundations making land unsuitable for future farmingPotential future "superfund sites" from damaged installations7. LNG & Energy ExportsCelebration of U.S. LNG production and exports as "freedom fuel" helping allies globally. Discussion of how American LNG is more affordable than alternatives and helps lift people out of poverty worldwide. Mention of major investments like Amazon's 7-gigawatt natural gas facility.8. Jones Act & Fuel SupplyThe importance of suspending the Jones Act (Merchant Marine Act of 1920) to allow cheaper fuel transport to California, Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico. Discussion of how the antiquated law drives up energy costs in these regions and harms industries like pharmaceuticals in Puerto Rico.9. California's Energy Crisis & National SecurityCalifornia's closure of refineries (down to 7 from 40) creates vulnerability for military bases and national security. The state's opposition to increased oil production threatens fuel supply for strategic military installations.10. Natural Gas Turbine ShortageA critical supply chain issue: 5-year waiting list for gas turbines, with old power plants being dismantled to salvage parts, limiting new natural gas generation capacity despite demand.The overarching theme is that affordable, reliable American energy is essential for economic prosperity, national security, and global stability—and that misguided policies (windfall taxes, renewable subsidies, Jones Act restrictions) undermine these goals.

When it comes to energy production, how much of it should be renewable and how much of it should be traditional? Is it an "either/or" or a "yes/and"? This week, we learned that Utah's number one source of energy in May was solar energy. But we constantly need more and more energy, so is it enough? Congresswoman Celeste Maloy joins Inside Sources for a conversation about energy and how we can find balance between traditional and renewable energies... to ensure we have enough power for our growing society.

"Leading is empowering, guiding, inspiring and having a shared goal of working together." "You need to build up trust, and for me what really helped was the one-on-ones." "Nobody wants to have a surprise in the meeting." "Predictability is really important for any leader." "Leadership is bringing your people forward and putting them in the position where they can perform at their best."   Thomas Fraessle is the Representative Director and CEO of ITK Engineering Japan, a professional engineering services company that develops customised software and systems solutions across automotive, healthcare, railway and other technology-intensive sectors. ITK originated in Germany and later became part of the Bosch Group. Fraessle studied electrical engineering and completed his diploma thesis at Mercedes-Benz, working on vehicle energy simulation and battery sizing. He then joined ITK when it was still a relatively small engineering company, attracted by the chance to work across varied projects rather than enter a large corporation. After assignments supporting General Motors Europe, he asked for an opportunity to work abroad and chose Japan precisely because it was unfamiliar and culturally distant from his previous experience. He first arrived in Japan in 2008, worked through a local partner and helped initiate the establishment of ITK's own Japanese operation. After returning to Germany and developing his leadership experience, he came back to Japan in February 2022 as Representative Director and CEO. His career reflects adaptability across engineering, business development and people leadership, as well as the transition from individual technical contributor to cross-cultural organisational leader.   Thomas Fraessle's leadership journey in Japan began with curiosity rather than a carefully mapped expatriate career. After studying electrical engineering and completing a practical diploma thesis at Mercedes-Benz, he joined the then-small ITK Engineering because he wanted exposure to multiple projects and responsibilities. An assignment supporting General Motors Europe introduced him to international collaboration and prompted him to ask ITK's founder for an overseas opportunity. Given a choice between the United States and Japan, he selected Japan because it represented the more unfamiliar challenge. That first period in Japan, beginning in 2008, gave Fraessle direct experience as an engineer working with Japanese customers. More than a decade later, he returned as the head of ITK Engineering Japan. The country was familiar, but the responsibility was entirely different. As CEO, he had to build alignment, create trust, communicate direction and encourage people to speak candidly. He quickly discovered that leadership concepts such as motivation, feedback and empowerment do not travel unchanged across cultures. One of the sharpest differences was feedback. In Germany, direct feedback could be treated as a normal part of improving performance. In Japan, the word itself could sound negative, as though a leader was about to explain what an employee had done badly. Fraessle found that honest views rarely appeared automatically in group meetings. He therefore invested in repeated one-to-one conversations, asking not simply what was wrong, but how the team could improve something together and what support people needed from him. Trust accumulated gradually, and some changes required a full year of discussion and preparation. This experience led him to appreciate nemawashi—the groundwork conducted before a formal decision. In many Western meetings, participants debate an issue and decide in the room. In Japan, the visible meeting may be the final confirmation of extensive prior consultation. Fraessle learned to plant ideas, explain them more than once, listen to objections and allow people time to reach confidence in the direction. Although the process can seem slow, it can produce stronger implementation because surprises and unresolved resistance have been reduced beforehand. Trust is also reinforced through transparency and predictability. Fraessle explains not only KPIs and decisions, but the business reasoning behind them. He distinguishes explanation from excuse-making: the leader should own the decision rather than hide behind headquarters. He is also willing to acknowledge mistakes, viewing this as strength rather than weakness. Employees need to know that problems can be raised without anger, blame or humiliation. A leader whose reactions vary with mood creates hesitation; a consistent leader makes it safer to speak up. Fraessle translated these beliefs into organisational practices. He introduced company gatherings after the isolation of COVID-19, created engineering workshops and cross-project technical groups, and redesigned the office around shared desks and easier interaction. These choices were not cosmetic. They created occasions for engineers from different projects to meet, exchange solutions and generate ideas that could be reused with other customers. His approach to hybrid work is similarly contextual rather than rigid: customer satisfaction, project needs and team collaboration matter more than mechanically applying one rule to everyone. His ultimate definition of leadership is practical and developmental. It is about bringing people forward, helping them build competence, giving them confidence to decide, guiding them with useful feedback and placing them where they can perform at their best. In Japan, that requires patience, relationship-building and respect for context. The leader's task is not to impose a foreign operating model immediately, but to understand why the current system exists, preserve what serves customers and then lead change with clarity and consistency. Q&A Summary What makes leadership in Japan unique? Leadership in Japan is shaped by context, relationship history and extensive preparation before visible decisions. Fraessle found that people may not openly disagree in a group, particularly when hierarchy, seniority or concern about losing face is involved. A formal meeting may therefore confirm a direction that has already been discussed through nemawashi rather than serve as the arena where competing views are first exposed. Leaders must learn to read what is not being said, create private channels for honest discussion and give colleagues time to absorb and test a proposal. Japan's strong commitment to quality and long-term customer trust also affects leadership. A defect or poorly handled mistake can damage a relationship that took years to establish, so teams often seek a very high degree of certainty before acting. Why do global executives struggle? Global executives often struggle because they interpret different behaviour as poor performance or resistance. A process may appear inefficient from headquarters, yet exist because a Japanese customer requires it or because it protects a long-standing relationship. Fraessle advises leaders to investigate why people work in a particular way before changing it. He benefited from having previously worked at customer sites in Japan and understood that management reports rarely show the full picture. Another difficulty is expecting direct feedback. Employees may say yes to preserve harmony without meaning that they fully support immediate execution. Foreign leaders can also mistake English silence for lack of knowledge, when capable employees are simply reluctant to risk making a linguistic mistake in public. Is Japan truly risk-averse? Fraessle's experience suggests that Japanese employees are not simply unwilling to take risks; they are highly conscious of quality, accountability and the social consequences of being wrong. An engineer may study a question for weeks before asking for help because appearing unprepared could mean losing face. That caution can protect quality, but it can also slow learning. Fraessle encourages people to ask earlier, communicate sooner and use colleagues' expertise. He also makes clear that mistakes are normal and that leaders should own their own errors. Risk-taking becomes more realistic when people know how failures will be handled, when trials are bounded and when the purpose of experimentation is organisational learning rather than individual judgement. What leadership style actually works? The most effective style in Fraessle's account combines approachability, consistency, transparency and role modelling. He used one-to-one meetings to build trust and even created a short personal guide explaining his direct German communication style so colleagues would not misread it as personal hostility. He established regular company meetings and informal gatherings so employees could see him, question him and understand how he behaved. He explains why targets and decisions matter, does not blame headquarters for choices he has made, and apologises when he is wrong. Above all, he stresses predictability. Employees should not have to study the leader's mood before deciding whether it is safe to raise a problem. How can technology help? Technology is central to ITK's business, but Fraessle's leadership lesson is that innovation requires human structures as well as technical expertise. Engineers working deeply on individual customer projects can become isolated from one another. ITK Engineering Japan therefore creates engineering workshops and cross-project technical groups where employees demonstrate tools, discuss cybersecurity, programming and systems challenges, and ask peers for alternative solutions. Ideas arising from these exchanges can improve one project and later become reusable solutions for other customers. Digital collaboration also supports an international workforce, but Fraessle does not treat technology as a substitute for human contact. Office design, shared desks, company meetings and informal conversation deliberately create the serendipitous exchanges that remote work can reduce. Does language proficiency matter? Fraessle believes learning Japanese is valuable because an expatriate leader is a guest in the country and language deepens cultural understanding. He also candidly acknowledges how difficult it is to improve without regular use and wishes he had invested more heavily at the beginning. At executive level, it is possible to lead without full proficiency, and sometimes using English can create a neutral international space. The larger challenge is psychological safety: many Japanese employees possess stronger English than they reveal in the office because they fear mistakes. Leaders should provide different ways to communicate, allow preparation and create low-pressure opportunities for people to use the language. What's the ultimate leadership lesson? Fraessle defines leadership as bringing people forward. The leader should guide, inspire and support employees, help them build the competence required for autonomy, and give them the confidence to make decisions. This begins with trust and a genuine relationship. It also requires patience: change in Japan may take longer than an overseas headquarters expects, but forcing action without understanding can destroy commitment or customer value. The ultimate lesson is to understand the system before altering it, remain consistent in words and behaviour, and create an environment where people can contribute, question, learn and perform at their best.

Ohio Congressman Max Miller seeks re-election while facing domestic abuse, drug use allegations Heading into this upcoming election, U.S. Representative for Ohio's 7th District Republican Max Miller is seeking re-election, hoping to continue to represent residents in Cuyahoga, Medina, Wayne and Holmes counties. He's also facing allegations of domestic violence and drug use dating back two decades, which we discuss on Thursday's episode of the "Sound of Ideas" hosted by Stephanie Haney. Many, though not all, of the accusations against Miller have been previously reported by Cleveland.com and other Northeast Ohio outlets in various levels of detail, but now Mother Jones which is operated by the Center for Investigative Reporting has published an extensive report after combing through thousands of pages of police reports and court documents connected to Miller's contentious child custody dispute over his two-year-old daughter he shares with ex-wife Emily Moreno, who is the daughter of Republican U.S. Senator for Ohio Bernie Moreno. Miller disputes many of these claims, and has not spoken publicly on others. We reached out to Rep. Miller asking him to speak with us today, but his communications director said they could not make this work for his schedule. We asked for a statement from the representative, and he declined to provide one. Please note in today's show we will be detailing specific allegations of abuse and violence against women. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, the national domestic violence hotline can be reached at 1-800-799-SAFE.

The winner of the decathlon is often bestowed with the title - "The World's Greatest Athlete." But currently, only men are allowed to compete in the Olympic decathlon, and that rankles the feathers of some women who dedicate a lot of time and energy to competing in decathlon events at various levels. Next weekend, the Women's Decathlon World Championship takes place in Oberlin, as the calls to include women in the Olympic decathlon grow louder from some. Thursday on the "Sound of Ideas" hosted by Stephanie Haney, we hear from two local athletes who are competing in this year's world championships. They'll share what got them interested in the decathlon, how they balance training while working towards PhDs, and how they feel about gender equity in sports.

In this podcast: -USTL President Philip Blumel argues that the advanced age of many members of Congress reflects a broader problem of entrenched incumbency rather than simply longevity, and presents term limits as the solution. -The show examines recent deaths, health concerns, and public examples of cognitive and physical decline among members of Congress while comparing the age profile of Congress with other Western democracies. -This podcast features an extended segment from Jon Stewart's The Daily Show, where Stewart uses humor and satire to criticize Congress's age profile and argues that the political system rewards incumbency over performance. -The show concludes by encouraging citizen engagement, using a California local term limits referendum as an example of how informed voters defeat efforts to weaken existing limits, and urges listeners to support the broader term limits movement.
