Women haven't always been part of the political landscape. Trailblazers like Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor fought for the right to represent their country, make laws that make us all more equal, and inspired generations of women to get involved in politics, like me. Justice O'Connor's career inspired me to change my major in college from biology to political science. I couldn't wait to be involved in electing the next great role model for future generations of girls and inspiring them to fall in love with politics like I did. Today, I'm discussing my journey from aspiring politician to Political Contessa, and the candidate I'm falling in love with and hope to see elected. I recount how I adopted a different political ideology than my Democratic family. I share my first political love, Senator Al Demoto, and his ability to get things done for his constituents. I highlight Governor Jane Swift's in-office pregnancy and how it showed me how to balance work and home life gracefully. I recount my time working with outstanding candidates like Carrie Healy and Beth Lindstrom. I also discuss why I support Nikki Haley's presidential candidacy, why her experience makes her the perfect candidate for the job, and what I think she'll be able to accomplish if elected. “All these young women give me so much hope of what could happen in the future and how women could actually be part of the political process and make a difference.” -Jennifer Nassour This week on Political Contessa: My political pivot away from my family of Democrats The mentors who shaped me The idols who inspired me to become a lawyer and politician Why Nikki Haley is my top choice for 2024 How Nikki Haley's background makes her uniquely qualified to be President Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week's episode of Political Contessa.

Rundown - Bill Walton - 05:49 Troubadour Dave Gunders - 01:27:44 "The Rebound" by Dave Gunders - 01:49:27 Legendary Hall of Fame hoopster, broadcaster, and author Bill Walton joins the show as Nuggets - Heat take center stage in the NBA Finals. Easy Game One victory for Nuggets, led by their superstars Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. Walton authored Back from the Dead, his outstanding memoir chronicling the way he overcame pain. Bill Walton has special affection for players like Jamal Murray (knee), MPJ (spine), and Jeff Green (heart) for overcoming health challenges. Learn about the critical moments along the way in 1977 when Walton's Trailblazers won the NBA, and the Big Redhead was MVP and Finals MVP. They broke Denver hearts along the way. Walton was Sixth Man of the Year (85-86) as he helped Larry Bird and Boston win the championship. Craig and Bill discuss this most exciting and consequential week in Colorado basketball history and Bill's connection to the Denver Nuggets. They talk about Bill's love of Colorado and the many ways he fantasizes and experiences the Centennial State. Walton well knows Neon Deion Sanders from professional work together. Find out why Walton thinks CU made a great move hiring Sanders. CU-Boulder's new head football coach is an exemplary leader and a welcome addition to Walton's Pac-12 - the Conference of Champions. Listen as Bill Walton drops names of prominent Nuggets past and present. Bill Walton loves and respects Spencer Haywood, and Ralph Simpson, from back in Denver Rockets days. He competed against David Thompson in college and pros. Dan Issel gave Bill fits. But the Blazers destroyed Denver's title dreams in 1977. Great debate about competitiveness of the Heat-Nuggets series emerges. Bill Walton knows and respects Pat Riley from his days in San Diego. We talk about whether a good big man can still dominate, as in Nikola Jokic. The Big Redhead waxes poetic describing the combination of natural forces which produced something so fantastic as the Big Honey (Jokic), Denver's double MVP. Bill Walton explains how Steve Nash got screwed out of his third straight MVP which is rarified air befitting his pal Larry Bird. When the subject turns to race, Walton, now age 70, has sage advice. Ignore it just like Nikola Jokic has. Walton recommends books, including Spencer Haywood: The Rise, the Fall, the Recovery and Loud Hawk: The United States vs. The American Indian Movement. We discuss Kareem too. Find out what an eloquent, charming, and wise man Bill Walton is in this special NBA Finals edition. The show is also on video so you can check it out that way on YouTube. Rarely will you see grown men smiling so much. It's not everyday that such a legendary guest appears. Troubadour Dave Gunders and his music appear in every episode. This week, catch Dave on video and hear his fine song, The Rebound. The sad Cleveland family of Denver shooting victim Shmuel Silverberg is remembered with this sad song as his murderer received 65 years, as we discuss. We want good things for Denver. Like the Nuggets winning their first NBA crown.

Transcripts are generated using speech recognition software and human editing and may contain errors. Before republishing quotes, we ask that you reference the audio. Ryan Embree: Welcome to Suite Spot, where hoteliers check in, and we check out what's trending in hotel marketing. I'm your host, Ryan Embree. Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of The Suite Spot. This is your host, as always, Ryan Embree. We are gonna be continuing our TMG Hospitality Trailblazers series. We are having such fun with this series. Again, if this is the first time you're hearing this. This series is all about those people and groups that are pushing our hospitality industry forward. We've had a lot of hotel management companies, some brands on this. We're gonna take a little bit wider lens today. This is called TMG Hospitality Trailblazers. We're gonna look at the travel industry as a whole, and I think that's a perfect segue into an introduction to our guest, Alexi Khajavi, president Questex, hospitality, travel and wellness. Alexi, welcome to the Suite Spot. Alexi Khajavi: Thanks, Ryan. It's good to be here. Ryan Embree: Awesome. Well, this is your first time on the Suite Spot. We always love to essentially start our episodes the exact same way because as we know in hospitality, some people are born into it. Some people just find it, you know, some people, a lot of people say, "Hey, I want to be the guy at the hotel", or "I want to be the guy that's making all these memories within the travel industry". Where did your journey start and what led you to Questex? Alexi Khajavi: Well, you know, both my parents were big travelers, you know, so we, we were always, you know, trying to plan the next trip. So, travel's been a part of my life, you know, since being a little child. You know, ultimately, even professionally, however, I graduated from the UC of California. I came outta that and joined, you know, a tour operator that was doing some early educational trips to Cuba. Traveled around, you know, and was, and was paid to do. So, I then got into the early tech scene in, you know, the early .com, 1997 to 2001, a tech startup called unexplored.com. And really since then, I've, I've been in travel and I've been in on the marketing and sales side of travel and hospitality, lived overseas multiple times, running hotels, running airlines, and then ran an, an advertising agency based off of the travel and hotel space. So we were working with destinations, we were working with hotel companies, and then was introduced to Questex back in 2014. And the event space was something I didn't have a lot of direct experience in, but the ability to connect buyers and sellers, particularly in travel and hospitality, where face-to-face is so critical, was really the pinnacle moment for me to see that as being just an incredible culmination of my prior experiences, my love of travel, my love of hospitality, and the opportunity to bring both buyers and sellers together. And that's really been the beauty of Questex is, is that we inform, we connect, and we're able to do that both on the digital platform side as well as in the live engagement side. So it's a really nice, opportunity. I've been doing it, you know, for the last eight years now. Ryan Embree: Yeah. You know,
