During the worst of the pandemic, SEPTA's Rick Graham saw a drastic decline in ridership due to closures and people working from home. As the Chief Risk Officer for the sixth-largest public transit system in the U.S., Rick needed to take special care in assessing the risks and loss of revenue to his organization. During today's informative interview, Rick offers advice to risk management professionals who are new to the game and those looking to enhance their careers. He also conveys the importance of understanding the culture and communication style of an organization and how risk professionals can develop cross-functional relationships with other departments for the benefit of all.   Key Takeaways: Rick has been the Chief Risk Officer of SEPTA for eight years. SEPTA is the sixth-largest public transit system in the U.S. Philadelphia has a large education and medical economy. Starting as a junior in high school, Rick left the volunteer fire department as an Assistant Chief. As an undergrad, Rick had part-time work performing underwriting tasks. Rick compares time in a career to tomatoes on the vine. Risk is risk. Risk managers must prepare for anything, like a pandemic. If you risk nothing, you get nothing. Advice for developing cross-functional relationships with other departments. How to measure an organization to check its tolerance for change. Rick explains how his group interacts with government affairs and utilizes public funds. Risk managers can help their clients get to yes. Rick has a hockey mask that makes risk management relatable. It's key to understand the culture of an organization and how it communicates. What to look for in a broker or risk consultant. The book Band of Brothers offers examples of great and poor leadership qualities.     Mentioned in This Episode: Band of Brothers, by Stephen E. Ambrose  

Rick Graham is the Chief Risk Officer for SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority), the nation's sixth-largest provider of public transportation. Rick leads a team of ten risk management professionals responsible for the authority's treatment of risk, management, and employee injury claims. He also oversees a comprehensive vocational rehabilitation program and currently serves as the VP of the Delaware Valley Chapter of RIMS. He earned his BA in political science from Meridian College. In today's live episode, from the 2022 RIMS Conference, Rick highlights the successes, challenges, and future of risk management and public transportation.   Key Takeaways Rick highlights the chapters of his risk management career. As a risk manager in public transportation, what does Rick want people to know? Public transportation provides great opportunities for inclusion and equity. Seeking solutions for the unique exposures that are presented in public transportation. Public transportation has seen major technology changes over the last decade. Rick highlights some of the innovations in railroad technology and smartphones. As a public entity, public transportation has been affected by the current state of the finance market. Rick details his approach to the changing dynamics of the environment, including the impact of climate change. Cyberattacks present a very real threat to any company. Rick emphasizes the importance of handling IT infrastructure with the same emphasis as physical infrastructure. How will public transportation continue to change as more people adopt a hybrid work model? The impact that the pandemic has had on the demand for public transportation. Future challenges in public transportation and the most important steps professionals can take today to prepare for the future. With a focus on DEI, changes still need to happen in the public transportation industry to effectively welcome more people in. RIMS recognizes that greater diversity, equity, and inclusion need to happen, and are working as a leader in increasing DEI in the industry. Why come to insurance? Rick shares some of the highlights and rewards of his career. Ideas for pulling non-traditional candidates into risk management industries. An optimistic look at the future of the risk management industry includes a younger, more diverse workforce. Rick reveals what he wishes he had known at the beginning of his risk management career.   Keep Getting Better Richard Graham at RIMS Richard Graham on LinkedIn   Quotes   “There is a lot of focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion right now, and public transportation really affords people to be inclusive and provide equity.”   “We're acutely aware of [the impact of climate change] taking the risk management model and applying it.”   “You have to look at your IT infrastructure the same way you look at your physical infrastructure.”   “The most important thing that we have to do as a profession is not to accept things as they are today.”   “We've got to look at diversity, equity, and inclusion as an opportunity, not as a threat.”

After more than a decade on the Spring Hill BOMA as a city alderman and mayor - Rick Graham made the decision to not run for office again. Spring Hill is just hours away from electing a new leader, so I sat down with Mayor Graham in his, now bare, office at City Hall to discuss his time serving one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation and what's next for him.     

Spring Hill Mayor Rick Graham had 19 days left in his term as of when this was recorded. He's been in the seat since 2013 and has had to navigate the rapid development growth Spring Hill has undergone in that time. To say he's counting the days until he's done is an understatement. *****SUBSCRIBE/RATE/FOLLOW What's Your Problem?

Today’s guitar villain is Rick Graham. Rick is easily one of the most humble guitar players on the planet, and you know what that means when the word humble is used to describe a guitarist: that’s right, they’re an absolute monster player. Rick can play things most people would think is impossible to do on a guitar, and yet his musicality is what stands out most–he’s a true maestro and an even better person, and throughout this episode you’ll understand time and again why Rick is one of the most respected guitarists on the planet, on today’s episode of Guitar Villains.Intro and Rick’s supervillain alter-ego: 00:00Burning Questions: 07:40How to play guitar as fast as humanly possible: 09:38Name Those Notes: 13:57The competitive edge of guitar players: 27:32Rick’s music school experience: 29:48How ‘regular jobs’ will us to unlock our destiny: 31:48The greatest teachers all do this: 34:10Two-note per string scale design: 36:30The hardest and easiest thing about guitar: 41:20Rick’s favorite airplane album: 43:05Rick’s dream band: 45:25Rick’s supervillain advice: 47:39Lessons with RickFollow Rick on YouTubeFollow Rick on InstagramSubscribe to Guitar Super System, the most popular independent guitar-learning platform on the internet: https://bit.ly/GVRG009

Guest Rick Graham joins host Mike Tannenbaum in this episode of "Should I Stay or Should I Go?".   When it comes to Risk Management, Rick can most certainly be described as a maven.   As the Chief Risk Officer of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, the nation's 6th largest provider of Public Transportation, Rick leads a team of 10 Risk Management Professionals responsible for the Authority's treatment of risk, management of employee injury claims, plus the oversight of a comprehensive vocational rehabilitation program.   He also currently serves as the Vice President of the Delaware Valley Chapter of RIMS and has over 20 years of experience within the Risk Sector.   In this episode, key discussion points that your host Mike Tannenbaum and Rick cover include: how challenging the current circumstances are for Risk Managers (especially at a major transport authority), how Rick made the leap into his current role as Chief Risk Officer at SEPTA and why working for the CFO was a "game-changer" for his career in this respect, how and what to communicate to the board when time is precious, how to manage and keep high performers engaged, plus the importance of developing and managing your own brand as a Risk Manager - which can ultimately help you decide whether you should stay in a role or if you should go.   If you have any thoughts or feedback on the show, you can email your host, Mike Tannenbaum, directly at: mtannenbaum@keystrategies.com . He may even answer your question on the show.   Thanks for listening, we hope you find the discussion in this episode insightful.

In this lesson, Dan and I return to take a look at how to improve your creative improvisations and what that journey looks like on the guitar. The focus of this lesson, using a backing track we recently did another lesson with, is how having some predetermined themes to use in your solo and a plan can help you to come up with ideas and interest as you improvise. As we play around with improvisation Dan gives me some tips and a strategy following a structured approach to coming up with ideas. We use octaves, blues licks and then Dan delves into a couple of ideas: First he highlights the importance of being relaxed and not tense; second we take a look at three note per string pentatonic licks and referencing lots of different players Dan demonstrates how you can delve deeply into one idea to explore the theme fully. 00:00:56 Reference to That Pedal Show and our last episode 00:01:36 Introduction - how do we mix our licks up to make them not feel too samey? 00:02:11 Fancy Fusion Backing Track in B minor | #SZBT 205: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZUCq_UlqzI 00:02:34 The focus for today's lesson is making your licks stand out - one idea leading to the next and the next... 00:03:16 Breaking solos into rigid structures 00:03:39 EG - Ritchie Samboura's solo from Dead or Alive 00:04:19 Analysing the ideas behind the parts of this solo, e.g. octaves, little blues lick, pinched harmonics, country blues rock lick, chugging chords 00:08:43 First soloing over the backing track 00:12:00 Guthrie Govan interview 00:13:34 How important it is to have goals and visualise where you want to be 00:17:55 Learn something different - have a bit of surprise left in your life 00:19:18 Dan's example of how beginners approach improvisation 00:20:01 1) isolating the ocatave theme and idea 00:21:09 2) by landing here on the fretboard you're ready for the blues lick 00:21:32 Be bold and not scared of the improvisation 00:23:53 Two tips to help when you're not sure: leave a note to hang or leave space 00:29:33 Second improvisation, focussing on relaxing and themed ideas 00:35:00 Running with weights: e.g. go up the whole scale using octaves 00:36:23 using octaves 00:36:51 Foo Fighters idea - fattening up a melody 00:37:01 Steve Vai - slipping up to the octaves, slide then octave 00:38:59 The pentatonic thing: with 3 note per string patterns 00:40:26 Second three note per string pentatonics 00:42:37 three notes on one string, then one note 00:43:10 Joel Hoekstra thing - 00:47:12 Podcast episode idea and call to action - get in touch if you want this 00:48:02 Shawn Lane lick 00:52:28 Some advice about digging deep into ideas 00:53:17 Country bends 00:54:19 Guthrie Govan idea from waves - arpeggiating with string skipping 00:55:37 Arpeggiating a Bm chord 00:58:05 Dan using the Guthrie Govan idea to solo over the backing track 00:59:05 Mixing in the Vito Bratta idea of adding tapped notes 01:01:12 Interesting video by Rick Graham - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsEHi1wykkc&feature=youtu.be 01:04:57 Final jam over the backing track
