Colin Hay first gained international fame in the 1980s as the frontman of Men At Work, the band known for crafting Australian anthems such as "Who Can It Be Now?" and "Down Under." Men At Work won a GRAMMY Award for Best New Artist and sold over 30 million records worldwide. After the band's breakup in 1985, Colin launched a solo career, releasing thirteen studio albums praised for their witty, hooky pop tunes and his distinctive voice. Colin's music has been featured prominently in the GRAMMY-winning soundtrack for Garden State and the TV series Scrubs. Over his remarkable solo career, he has toured extensively both as a solo artist and with Ringo Starr & His All-Star Band. Colin has also performed on various late-night shows, including those hosted by David Letterman, Craig Ferguson, Jimmy Fallon, and Jimmy Kimmel. In addition to his music career, Colin lent his voice to Disney's The Wild and starred in the award-winning documentary Waiting For My Real Life. He also narrated Aesop's Fables with Colin Hay, 24 audiobooks written by author Tom Graves. His latest solo album, Now And The Evermore, features lush orchestration, whimsical melodies, and contributions from notable collaborators, including Ringo Starr. The impact of Colin's work has been felt across generations, with various tributes, covers and revivals contributing to his enduring musical presence. In 2021, ‘Down Under' returned to the airwaves in the form of a drum'n'bass cover by Luude, topping charts at home and in the UK. A version sung in Yolngu Matha by King Stingray accompanied the Tourism Australia campaign. The following year, 'Down Under' was recognised by APRA for its streaming success, achieving 1 billion streams the acclaimed song. In 2023, Colin received APRA's Ted Albert Award for outstanding services to Australian music.

The hosts discuss growing anger among Georgia members of Congress over the U.S. Postal Service's inability to solve serious delays in mail delivery in metro Atlanta. It's part of a larger national problem.     But first, the podcast welcomes former Georgia Republican Congressman Tom Graves, who served in the U.S. House for a decade before retiring in 2020. The hosts ask him for his observations about the infighting among GOP members of the House today and about the extreme partisanship on both sides of the aisle. He also offers his take on Marjorie Taylor Greene, who now represents the same district Graves did.     Then, Davante Jennings, chairman of the Young Democrats of Georgia Black Caucus and an organizer at the New Georgia Project, joins the podcast to talk about what's inspired him to become a political activist after he was disillusioned by Donald Trump's victory in 2016.     Links to topics  The arc of Tom Graves career in the U.S. House: from Tea Party conservative to bipartisan advocate  Disillusined by Trump's 2016 victory, this young Black Georgian has gotten engaged for 2022  Ossoff, others in Georgia delegation demand USPS solve mail delivery delays     Have a question or comment for the show?

With focus on people, practical tips, managing uncertainty, anticipating trends, and weighing digital impacts - our annual Christmas Special is chock-full of useful and relevant stuff for consultants. We Discuss: First appearances on the podcast by each of the cast and current reflections on what each of us said back then Best-of moments from 2023 and why they are relevant Predictions for 2024 Key Highlights: Phil reflects on his comments from the first ever episode in 2018, showing how his views on the importance of understanding people and their needs is still highly relevant today. (00:05:32) Whynde observes how the need for human connection seems amplified now compared to when the podcast started, noting massive changes like work-from-home and AI. (00:13:35) The cast has had thought-provoking conversations over the years that have informed major life and career decisions, keeping the focus more on functioning as good human beings rather than just technology. (00:25:49) The episode on Using LinkedIn for Success was the most popular of the past year, indicating an interest in practical tips beyond just consulting. (00:37:30) Tom Graves advises not trying to predict the future but instead focusing on adapting in real-time. (00:48:03) Whynde hopes businesses become more thoughtful and discerning with new technologies like AI, carefully examining what it really means and the unintended consequences. (01:11:43) Shashi predicts a major skills shift as AI gets democratized, with business users outside IT getting more tech-savvy and implementing solutions themselves. (01:16:01) Phil sees cyber security threats growing as more are able to "game the system", making it harder to discern what's real vs AI-generated. (01:18:37) Chris predicts more focus on how AI is relevant and applicable to solving business problems, beyond just the "gee whiz" factor. (01:23:02) 7 Takeaways: The focus has evolved to be more on functioning as good human beings and maintaining sanity versus just discussing technology. There is strong interest beyond just the consulting audience in practical advice like effectively using LinkedIn. Adapting in real-time is advised over trying to predict the unpredictable future. Carefully examining what emerging technologies really mean for businesses, including unintended consequences, is hoped for. Major skills shifts alongside potential growth in cyber threats are predicted as AI becomes democratized. Maintaining work-life balance seems increasingly challenging amidst more remote work and turbulent times. Frameworks shared, like Chris Potts' unifying model, can help guide decision-making amidst constant change.

In December 2019 Ben sat down with Marjorie Taylor Greene, then a Republican candidate for the 6th Congressional District in Georgia. Shortly after the interview, Congressman Tom Graves announces he would not be running for re-election in the Georgia 14th Congressional District and Ms. Greene dropped out of her race for the 6th and entered the race for the 14th. Today she endorsed Kelly Loeffler in the special election to replace retired Senator Johnny Isakson. Her tune has changed quite a bit since her interview with Ben when she spoke glowingly about the President's preferred candidate, Doug Collins.

The modernization of Congress, from an information technology standpoint, has advanced. In the month since we last spoke to the chairman and ranking member of the select committee dealing with updating Congress. Returning to the Federal Drive with the latest developments, Washington Democrat Derek Kilmer and Georgia Republican Tom Graves.

New executive order urges emphasis on skills over education Michael Rigas, Acting Director of the Office of Personnel Management, explains the new executive order from President Trump encouraging agencies to base hiring decisions more on skills and less on educational credentials Budgeting for nuclear projects at NNSA Frank Lowery, Associate Administrator for Management and Budget at the National Nuclear Security Administration, discusses how a budget increase for the NNSA would support three main mission pillars and contribute to executing the National Defense Strategy Updates from the House Select Committee on Modernization Democratic Rep. Derek Kilmer, Chairman of the House Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress, and Republican Rep. Tom Graves, Vice Chair, discuss how the coronavirus pandemic has affected the work of the House of Representatives and how technology advancements can be used to better serve constituents

The chair and vice chair of the select committee on the modernization of Congress have been on the case, exploring best practices, even thinking about how to best reopen federal offices. Joining the Federal Drive with Tom Temin, Washington Democrat Derek Kilmer and Georgia Republican Tom Graves.

Today's top headlines: Prayer service tonight at Trinity. Also: Rome Police say protests require permit first. Weekend protests set. Polk authorities investigating threats for this Sunday. Funeral services are set for 16-year-old killed in Monday's shooting. Police: Teen wanted for questioning arrested in Cartersville on unrelated charges. Another death in Bartow; 2,123 statewide as of Wednesday. Positive tests, 48,894 in Georgia. Motorcycle procession through Rome on Wednesday escorts former Marine Evan Tucker Williams home for final services. 'Be Green' again! Recycling center, remote sites, curbside pickup all back in action as of today. Ware Mechanical Weather Center: Maybe a half-inch of rain through Friday with highs in the upper 80s. Truett's Chick-Fil-A Sports Report: 100 youth teams due here for baseball tournament Saturday, Sunday. Another look at Barron Stadium's new turf. Rant of the Day: Of primary concern ... More than 25,000 voters in Northwest Georgia already had made their choices in the twin primaries scheduled for this coming Tuesday, June 9. That doesn't count all the votes that have occurred since Monday, either at advance voting locations or via absentees returned by mail, drop box or drop off. Those are numbers to celebrate and we've yet to open a single precinct. That turnout is especially appreciated as the primaries -- plural -- of 2020 have been seemingly lost in the headlines. With one of the meatiest ballots in recent years -- the Floyd sheriff's race, a surprise contest for court clerk, an in-party challenge to a longtime House member and all the commotion over the House seat Tom Graves is giving up -- this was supposed to be an all-star edition of Campaign 2020 with the presidential sweepstakes yet to come in November. Instead, it is relatively quiet. There are a few last-minute panic posts popping up but, all in all, it has been quiet. And here's where it gets to be a primary concern. The next sheriff of Floyd County will have a voice in community relations and incarceration of suspects. State lawmakers will have painful decisions to make about expenditures with depleted resources. The next person to represent Northwest Georgia in Congress will enter a federal government more divided than ever with trillions in debts, mounting pandemic deaths and a very divided America. While we're thrilled by the turnout to date thanks to absentee and advance voting, we ask this: Please take time to vote -- whether it be advance, absentee or in-person. More than ever, your voice, your choice, needs to be heard between now and Tuesday night. Please make it happen --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-druckenmiller/support

The drawing card for Tuesday's Floyd County Republican Women meeting was the GOP sheriff’s candidates. But the real story? Those considering a run for the U.S. House seat Tom Graves will leave at the end of the year. Two declared candidates were there as was another potential contender thinking of trading a state House seat for the federal version. And standing in the doorway: A Rome neurosurgeon and entrepreneur teetering on entering the race.

In this episode of the Politically Georgia, host Greg Bluestein and AJC Washington correspondent Tia Mitchell discuss the latest developments in Georgia politics, including the challenges Kelly Loeffler will face as she takes office as a U.S. Senator, U.S. Rep. Lucy McBath and impeachment, the latest in Tom Graves' district, and more. Let us know what you think! Tweet during the episode using #politicallygeorgia.

The summary: "But that won’t matter if the one-time Sixth Congressional District candidate listens to what she says are ample calls from conservatives in our area to run for the seat Tom Graves will vacate a year from now. "It wouldn’t be the first time someone from outside the district represented our area. Phil Gingrey wasn’t a district resident but he might as well have been as he spent so much time in our community. "So perhaps Greene, described by the AJC as a construction company executive, will take the 14th without much of a fight. " ... Perhaps our mantra should be this: 'When in doubt, order out' – as in outside the district." --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-druckenmiller/support

Midsouth author Tom Graves spent Father's Day with the Booze & Blues show to talk about his new book, White Boy. It is autobiographical in that he talks about growing up in a racist environment and how he overcame those ways and how he found a way to forgive people he was close to while forgiving himself. He talks about learning how to live a life of acceptance in a world and a time where racism divided more than just communities. Surrounding himself with the music of the day and makers of those songs, he found himself.

Congressman Tom Graves of Georgia, sits on the House Appropriations Committee, and was a part of the first round of hearings yesterday with Attorney General Barr.
