Podcast appearances and mentions of sean reardon

A pool route looks peaceful from the curb, but the work sits where chemistry, electricity, plumbing, and customer trust collide. We brought on Sean Reardon, the insurance broker serving the United Pool Association, to unpack the real risks pool technicians face and why generic coverage so often misses the mark. From the UPA's origins as a mutual support network to the evolution of group policies built for technicians, we explore how smart coverage, good training, and honest reporting can turn worst-day scenarios into manageable claims.We walk through claim stories that stick. A heater installation near a shared wall led to alleged carbon monoxide poisoning when someone powered it up before venting was complete—an expensive reminder that pollution exclusions can swallow a “normal” pool tech job unless your policy is modified. A veteran pro mixed the wrong chemicals and triggered leaks across a skimmer line, proving that one rushed moment can mean weeks of remediation. A new hire “frisbeed” trichlor tabs into a dark-surfaced pool and branded it with round stains. And in a painful mix-up, chlorine meant for a dirty fountain ended up in a koi pond, wiping out prized fish within an hour.Sign up for UPA Insurance here:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfRQjHJGFLIOqZVzHm4_PNUz8Tokl_InR0wjyp5ahO93h3Z0Q/viewform?usp=send_form• UPA's origin as chapters covering routes and sick leave• Why group insurance tailored to pool techs saves money and risk• Pollution exclusions and how endorsements change outcomes• Carbon monoxide claim and the importance of duty to defend• Chemical handling errors and skimmer line damage• Training gaps leading to “hockey puck” stains• Koi pond chlorination loss and rapid response• Cameras, transparency, and reporting incidents early• Practical habits to avoid co-mingling and mislabeling• How to join UPA and find the sign-up formThe easiest way to find the sign-up form for UPA is to go to my website, swimmingpoollearning.com.

Newburyport Mayoral Forum - James McCauley & Sean Reardon

Sean Reardon, Newburyport Mayor discusses city topics and events

Who broke America? Quite likely, you did. David Brooks, my guest today, describes how the new elite, the "bobos" as he once labelled them (bourgeois bohemians) have created a hereditary meritocracy, failed the leadership test, condescended to the less successful, and actively contributed to inequality and segregation. We talk about what class means today, why David now thinks economics is more important than he did, his advice for both the Democrats and the Republicans, the culture wars, and much more. We end with a discussion of his work on a new book on the importance of social recognition, of being seen.  David Brooks David Brooks is a prominent social and cultural commentator writing regularly for the New York Times and the Atlantic, and previously for the Wall Street Journal. He also appears on “PBS NewsHour,” NPR's “All Things Considered” and NBC's “Meet the Press” to discuss politics and culture. Brooks teaches at Yale University and belongs to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.  More Brooks Read his Atlantic piece, How the Bobos Broke America, building off his 2001 book, Bobos In Paradise: The New Upper Class and How They Got There His previous books include The Social Animal, The Road to Character, and The Second Mountain.  For more, check out his column at the New York Times and his column at the Atlantic You can follow more of his work on twitter: @nytdavidbrooks Also Mentioned We chatted about my book, Dream Hoarders.

We discussed Brooks' infamous deli meat anecdote in his 2017 piece “How We Are Ruining America” Brooks referred to the work of Pierre Bourdieu, a French sociologist who studied power dynamics and the importance of cultural capital, linguistic capital, symbolic capital, and more.   I mentioned Michelle Margolis' research on religion and politics, which you can learn more about in her book “From Politics to the Pews.”  I also referred to the book “The Sum of Small Things: A Theory of the Aspirational Class”, written by Elizabeth Currid-Halkett.  Brooks mentioned Ibram Kendi. Brooks referred to this scene in Good Will Hunting (specifically starting at minute 3:06) I mentioned Michael Young's pivotal book “The Rise of the Meritocracy,” which I've spoken about previously here.  My previous work on respect, including this Brookings essay, has focused heavily on the importance of eye contact as an assertion of civic and moral equality.  I cited Thomas Jefferson's original draft of the Declaration of Independence, in which he wrote “we hold these truths to be sacred.” The Dialogues Team Creator: Richard Reeves Research: Ashleigh Maciolek Artwork: George Vaughan Thomas Tech Support: Cameron Hauver-Reeves Music: "Remember" by Bencoolen (thanks for the permission, guys!)

Phil Micallef, Englishman in Prague, speaks to Sean Reardon, a Prague-based comedian from the great state of New Jersey, USA.  Sean is American through birth, Irish through descent, Mexican through marriage, Czech through current residency, and international through…well, everything else we’ve just mentioned.  He discussed with Phil, amongst other things, the similarities between New Jersey and Phil’s English home county of Essex, New Jersey’s strong international flavour, what Europeans think of Americans, what it was like being an American living in Mexico at the same that Trump got elected, and why us European folk should all take it easy and stop slagging off the many American folk who don’t have passports (it was a point extremely well-made!).  Listen right to the end for a special musical treat that perfectly fuses New Jersey with Essex.

A small, kindergarten-through-8th-grade district in rural Oklahoma, Lane was identified by Sean Reardon, Professor of Poverty and Inequality at Stanford University, as one of the few districts in the country that “grow” its students almost six academic years in five calendar years (Chicago, profiled in Season 1, is another). Since he identified it, Lane has improved its absolute achievement considerably. […]

Professor Sean Reardon, a Stanford researcher, was the keynote speaker for our annual Make It Your Business Luncheon. Reardon received his doctorate from Harvard and has spent his career researching how to ensure every child is able to obtain the best education. In his keynote address, he says statistics indicate some Oregon school districts are outperforming other school districts in similar socioeconomic areas but: "That opportunity is not equally shared by race or by socioeconomic backgrounds. That says we have a lot of work to do as a society about how we create broader opportunity." He says gaps in educational opportunity start very early, and groups like Children's Institute, that take a holistic look at the social safety net, have the best chance of changing the trajectory of young people.

In this War on Poverty Conference presentation, Sean Reardon discusses Sarah Reber’s paper, “The History and Legacy of Title I.” The Center for Poverty Research hosted the conference at UC Davis on Jan. 9 and 10, 2014. Reardon is a Professor of Education and Sociology at Stanford University and Director of the Stanford Interdisciplinary Doctoral Training Program in Quantitative Education Policy Analysis.
