Money on the Left presents a public conversation with Dan Berger about his important new book, Stayed on Freedom: The Long History of Black Power through One Family's Journey (Basic Books, 2023). Berger's Stayed on Freedom tells a new history of Black Liberation through the intertwined narratives of two grassroots organizers. The Black Power movement, often associated with its iconic spokesmen, derived much of its energy from the work of people whose stories have never been told. Stayed On Freedom brings into focus two unheralded Black Power activists who dedicated their lives to the fight for freedom. Zoharah Simmons and Michael Simmons fell in love while organizing tenants and workers in the South. Their commitment to each other and to social change took them on a decades-long journey that traversed first the country and then the world. In centering their lives, Berger shows how Black Power united the local and the global across organizations and generations. Based on hundreds of hours of interviews, Stayed On Freedom is a moving and intimate portrait of two people trying to make a life while working to make a better world.  This public dialog took place on February 24, 2023 at the University of South Florida. It was graciously moderated by Tangela Serls (Professor of Instruction in the Department of Women's and Gender Studies and Special Advisor to the USF College of Arts and Sciences Dean on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) and K. Stephen Prince (Professor in the USF History department).Visit our Patreon page here: https://www.patreon.com/MoLsuperstructureMusic by Nahneen Kula: www.nahneenkula.com

Dr. Greg Gerdeman, Ph.D., is a pioneer in researching the endocannabinoid system's physiology. In this episode, he walks us through the complex topic of cannabis and cancer, current dosing, and new research that may better inform patients and the medical community. Greg researched the ECS for over 20 years and talks about our biological co-evolution with plants and how we can learn to change our health's narrative with this knowledge. He clears up over-simplifications of the ECS, which he sees as a conductor of a 'symphony of biological interaction.' Common misinformation is spread unwittingly through popular demand for sound-byte explanations. As a Ph.D. student, he discovered that endocannabinoids act as "retrograde messengers" to regulate synaptic plasticity in the brain. These findings have become foundational to a modern understanding of the ECS and the neuroprotective actions of cannabinoids. He later co-directed research on exercise-mediated endocannabinoid signaling, revealing new insights into the "runner's high" and its evolutionary roles in exercise's neurological benefits. As a college professor, his lab focused on the ancient evolutionary origins of cannabinoid receptors. Upon co-founding a medical cannabis company in Florida, he directed scientific activities at every level of the supply chain, ranging from integrative pest management to product development to physician education. He is a Voluntary Assistant Professor at the USF College of Pharmacy. In addition, "Dr. G "is Chief Scientist of TN Farmaceuticals and is co-founder of Weir Wellness, a newly licensed medical cannabis dispensary in Weirton, West Virginia.

“You create your opportunities by asking for them”Norman Vincent Peale said “Change your thoughts and you can change your world.” Think about a time in your life when you had an idea or an opportunity that really excited you, something that would require you to push beyond the borders of your comfort zone. Perhaps it was asking for a promotion or a raise, or maybe you wanted to ask someone out to dinner, but the very thought made you nervous or uncomfortable. Did you adhere to those boundaries, or did you choose to move beyond them, undaunted? Consider how decisions you’ve made to be bold and embrace the power of asking have impacted your life. Think about the connections that asking has created, and doors that have opened as a result. Looking back, do you regret taking any of those leaps? It’s important to recognize that when it comes to making big moves, we can give fear too much power to dictate our actions. But we don’t have to. Today’s guest comes from my very own alma mater, the University of South Florida. Robert Bishop is Dean at the USF College of Engineering in beautiful Tampa. He’s recognized as a Distinguished Teaching Professor and Researcher in Aerospace Engineering, and he's a specialist in the Application of Systems and Control Theory to modern engineering products. Through serving on the University of South Florida's College of Engineering advisory board alongside Dean Bishop, I’ve seen how his fearless mindset has transformed the department and inspired growth and innovation. He’s someone who understands first hand the remarkable power of asking. Robert Bishop has co-authored with astronauts, sat down with Presidents, met brilliant artists, and he’s chilled backstage with rockstars. All of this happened through the simple power of asking. We create a lot of complex reasons in order to justify our fears, giving ourselves permission to refrain from asking bold questions that have the potential to alter the direction of our lives. In this episode, we discover how clarity of purpose gave Robert Bishop the courage to make the big, bold asks that got him where he is today. Some Questions I Ask:Who were some of your biggest influences growing up? (7:02)Has moving around so frequently made it easier for you to connect and build relationships? (8:03)What stands out for you as a defining moment that helped you chart your course and your path forward? (8:59)Was there ever any fear or self doubt when you’ve made big asks in your life? (16:20)How have you been able to recognize and capitalize on those moments when the universe seems to open a door for you? (22:51)How have you built that leadership capability in yourself, since you say it wasn’t an innate skill? (27:17)What are some of the things that you're doing to cultivate that empathetic leadership and that leadership growth mindset in your engineers at the college? (31:16)What are you most proud of? (39:36)What You’ll Learn in this Episode:The invisible subculture of “military brats” (5:00)Robert Bishop’s first bold ask at 17 years of age (11:17)How another bold ask led him to consider a career in academia (14:05)How a bold move as a teenager led to a lifetime of backstage rockstar encounters (17:26)How to inspire successful people to engage with you (20:33)How he brought a “Moonwalker” into the classroom (21:00)The spontaneous conversation with President Jimmy Carter that inspired his concept of leadership (28:46)Why the Leadership Program is designed to put more value on the human element within engineering (32:39)How the very busy Robert Bishop unwinds (hint: it’s not Netflix, like the rest of us...)

Dr. Randy Feldman has been in the private practice of orthodontics for 38 years in Tampa Bay, Florida. He is a partner and owner of Blue Wave Orthodontics and has a pediatric dental practice, six office locations, four associates, and grosses in the low eight figures. He hopes to open one or two new locations in the next couple of years.  Dr. Feldman received his DDS from The Ohio State University, and is a diehard “Buckeye.” He is currently a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at USF College of Medicine and holds a patent for ceramic brackets. He is also the craniofacial orthodontist at John Hopkins All Children's Hospital where he has treated thousands of kids with craniofacial defects. In this episode… Dr. Randy Feldman has been quoted as saying 'I am on a mission from God to stamp out dental irregularity.'
