Episode #255 features Andrew Fraser, Chair of Bank of Queensland, Chancellor of Griffith University, President of Motorsport Australia, and former Deputy Premier and Treasurer of the state of Queensland. In conversation with Vidit Agarwal, Andrew shares his journey — from entering politics young and rising rapidly to the top of Queensland Government, to the very bitter public loss that ended his political career, becoming a stay-at-home dad in the aftermath, and the reinvention that led him to some of Australia's most significant boardrooms. He breaks down what that period of collapse taught him about ego, judgment and sustainable leadership, how he now thinks through complex strategic decisions, why he uses sport constantly as a metaphor for teams and performance, the importance of “keeping up the chat” as a leader, and the revealing question he asks every new hire to test for self-awareness and honesty. Andrew also unpacks the realities of chairing major institutions, transitioning from operator to governance, and how Australia should think about leadership, sovereignty and long-term competitiveness.

Fiona Ma is currently terming out as California's Treasurer, but after more than two decades of public service, she's now running to be the state's Lieutenant Governor. While most of the media's attention has been focused on the still unpredictable gubernatorial race, there are sixteen in the race for California's No. 2 seat of power, and Fiona has the clearest institutional resume, giving her an early advantage in name recognition among voters even as most remain undecided. Over 30 current and former California mayors have endorsed her. Early polling gives her a lead with likely Democratic voters, but eight in 10 voters still have no opinion of her--a reminder that institutional status has not translated into decisive primary support.  This episode is your chance to get to know her better and to appreciate her immense qualifications to be California's next Lieutenant Governor. Find out more about her and her vision for California by going to www.fionama.com.

Graduating cum laude in 1990, Kristina has a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from Tufts University.

In this Candidate Spotlight, Ms. Roegner discusses her candidacy for Ohio State Treasurer and her positions on fiscal accountability of state and local government. 

00:00 Well, ladies and gentlemen, it happened today at noon, the call to the post. 00:09 That's right. It is now officially, I know it seems like it's been, but it's now officially political season here in South Carolina. Today at noon was the opening um of the filing season here in South Carolina. These were for partisan candidate filing periods that opened at noon today. It will close at noon on Monday, March the 30th. 00:37 All partisan candidates must file during this period in order to appear on the ballot. Now this can happen during regular business hours at all appropriate filing locations throughout the filing period. There are filing fees included on this and some of them are pretty steep. Now if you're running for South Carolina House of Representatives, that's only a $208 filing fee. If you're running for 01:07 Solicitor, that's gonna cost you $8,877. If you're running for the US House, $3,000, yeah, you heard me, $8,000 to run for a solicitor, right? I know, JJ's like, what? US House of Representatives, $3,480. You wanna run for the Senate? That's gonna cost you 10,440 smackeroonies. Basically, let's say, lieutenant governor, 4,243. 01:37 Secretary of State, State Treasurer, Attorney General, um Comptroller General, Superintendent, those are $3,680. And now, let's say you want to run, but you just don't have the bucks. um You can actually file as a pauper. Yeah, they have a uh pauper clause where you can file as a pauper. 02:07 So, and the reason I found it was funny, we always had this guy that ran for mayor of Augusta, my hometown, and every election, every four years, he filed as a pauper to run. um his big campaign promise was that he was going to build a monorail from Augusta to Atlanta. A monorail. 02:37 all the way to it. I don't think you ever got much of a vote. But anyway, filing season is open. That means if you have been thinking about running for office here in South Carolina, maybe Greenville, Spartanburg County, those are different filing fees. You have to file those with the county. These are all the state filing fees. um Then m 03:01 And now is the time to make the decision because after what we've seen in the state house over the past year, over the past couple of years, over the past few decades, we have seen exactly how those people operate. And it is becoming more more abundantly clear. 03:23 that those folks really do not have our best interests at heart. mean, this is a job that pays a little over $10,000 a year plus per diem, um and they will fight tooth and nail to keep that job? So they're not in it for that salary, that's not the big thing, and they're not really in it for you, they're in it for all of the perks that come along with it. At least that's how it seems to me. I mean, why else would you fight? 03:54 like cats in a blanket. 03:57 for that job. There's gotta be something else involved. And we know with all the lawyer legislators out there, exactly what all of that does. It's good way to drum up business, especially when our state legislature is the one that appoints our judges. So, if you've been thinking about it, now's the time to do it. Go ahead and file, start that campaign because you have got less than three months now. 04:26 primaries are June the 9th and we have got to make some big changes in Columbia. We have made a little headway the last the last few special elections we had Republicans good conservative Republicans. 04:44 got in and maybe we can continue that trend. Maybe we can have a state. 04:53 that makes the people in Florida jealous instead of it being the other way around. I'm tired of looking at Florida going, man, I wish we could do that. I wish we could do that. 05:06 So we also might have another person. Now we know that Pamela Aved, Ralph Norman, Alan Wilson, Nancy Mace, and Josh Kimbrell are running for the governor's spot here in South Carolina. There may be a sixth candidate entering into that mix. Apparently we're goin ...

John Mikos joins Nick in Studio 809 to talk about his campaign for Colorado State Treasurer. What is a state treasurer? Well, they watch over the money the state collects before it goes out to whatever the state needs to pay for. And that's a complicated thing because there's billions of dollars in there and the state definitely wants to take the best advantage those moneys as they arrive and before they depart.

In the last few weeks, Briner's office has been on quite a roll. On Tuesday, he announced a significant agreement with CVS Caremark that has ended a long-standing dispute and is expected to bring savings to Plan members.

Gallup poll on birth rates and happiness: New data reveals that conservatives are maintaining above-replacement birth rates, while liberal households are having fewer children. We explore the mental health divide, societal priorities, and why married women with children report being the happiest group in America. Advice on prioritizing family over a perfectly planned career is also shared.
