What is “vetting”? How does it work? Why is it so important to the quality of public service and government? To answer these questions, Pedro Pinto interviews Alyssa Mastromonaco in this episode of “It's Not That Simple”, a podcast by the Francisco Manuel dos Santos Foundation. With many years of experience working in the United States' government, Mastromonaco served as White House Deputy Chief of Staff for operations in the administration of President Barack Obama from 2011 to 2014, the youngest woman to hold that position. Prior to that, she was Director of Scheduling and Advance, a position she also held during President Obama's first campaign. Mastromonaco began working with then Senator Obama in January 2005 where she served as an advisor and political director of his PAC, Hopefund. She had previously worked for Senator John Kerry in both the Senate and his 2004 campaign and also served as Congressman Rick Boucher's (VA-09) press secretary. After leaving the White House, she was President of Global Communications Strategy & Talent at A&E Networks and the chief operating officer of Vice Media. She has also been a contributing editor at Marie Claire magazine. Since 2017, Mastromonaco has been a podcaster with Crooked Media.  In this episode, Mastromonaco describes what the vetting process consists of, specifically in the United States. She discusses the purpose of the vetting process, as well as it standards. Mastromonaco also looks at how political polarization and the modern media environment have weakened the public strength of the vetting process. She also addresses the challenges of conducting an efficient vetting investigation. Mastromonaco examines the lack of vetting in countries like Portugal and how a thorough vetting process can lead to finding the best people for any given public position. Finally, she explains how lying about one's past may be more disqualifying for the person being vetted than telling the truth about the person is being asked about, in a conversation well worth listening to.

Tune in as Gabi and Margot (Oceans Apart) join Arthur for a deep dive into Netflix's The Power of the Dog. Adapted from Thomas Savage's 1967 novel of the same name, the much-lauded 2021 Western (or anti-Western, which is debated on the podcast) psychological drama provides plenty of meaty material for the hosts to analyze with its Montana-set exploration of toxic masculinity, queerness, and emotional abuse. The intriguing ways in which Savage drew inspiration from his life for the novel, Arthur's vehement frustration with Blade Runner 2049, and an amusing little anecdote about the movie Antichrist make up some of the additional chatter you'll hear on the show. Written and directed by Jane Campion (The Piano), The Power of the Dog stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Thomasin McKenzie, Genevieve Lemon, Keith Carradine, Frances Conroy, Peter Carroll, and Alison Bruce. Spoilers start at 48:45 Good Word: • Gabi: the guests' Oceans Apart podcast and Who Thought This Was a Good Idea?

Welcome, welcome, welcome to Episode #29! We're joined by the wonderful Hannah to discuss all things political with a surprise focus (lol) on the left. As someone heavily involved in the Labour political party in the UK, Hannah was the perfect guest to have on to discuss the failings of the left, in particular the historic loss in the 2019 UK election, but also where the left goes from here. Although much of the conversation was centered on the political environment in the UK, much of the lessons Hannah has to share can be applied to politics around much of the Western world. There is a reason this has been our longest episode yet, so please, sit back and enjoy a frank discussion about our broken political system.    Key Message: We need to be better at creating a story that defines the path to a better future, one of increased solidarity and empowered communities.    Some of the topics and ideas we cover today: - how do we get people interested in politics - the issue of political alienation - constructing a shared goal & building solidarity - what's wrong with a conservative government - importance of effectively utilizing technology in political movements - review of UK's Labour Party 2019 election loss - the power of storytelling & clarity of vision - rising above "dark side messaging" - leading the change & empowering people - politics of the future - democratization of the workplace - a broken political system   Further Resources: - The Political Brain: The Role of Emotion in Deciding the Fate of the Nation  - Who Thought This Was a Good Idea?: And Other Questions You Should Have Answers to When You Work in the White House - Making the future: a new software for the Left  - Labour Together: Our party must find the humility to listen and learn - 2019 Election Review  - How can we build a 21st-century Labour Party? – LabourList   Full show notes can be found at tomstuandyou.com    Like us on Facebook and Instagram @tomstuandyou or send us an email at hi@tomstuandyou.com with any questions, comments, thoughts, or queries you have on the topics we've discussed or any suggestions of topics you'd like to hear us address.    Thanks so much for your support!

For long-time listeners of the Creator's Block podcast, you know it's been awhile since I've stepped into the recording studio to "pull back the curtain on inbound, content, design and agency life" for all of the creatives and content creators out there.  The podcast is still undergoing a bit of a virtual face-lift, so we won't back on a regular basis for another few weeks. But in the interim, I've invited two guests to join me for a special edition of Creator's Block -- Kathleen Booth, our very own VP of Strategy, and Jessie-Lee Nichols, Marketing Manager at Link Labs. Given the events of the past few months, we're dedicating this week's episode to the big, hairy (and often scary) elephant in the room...  Change.  It doesn't matter what your job title is or how long you've been in the game, we all know that nothing stays the same forever. Of course, sometimes changes are welcome -- a new promotion, for example. But they aren't always.  So, how do you go with the flow and not reach for the panic button when the unexpected happens? Tune into this episode of Creator's Block to find out! What We Talked About A recap of the Quintain and IMPACT merger What really happens when two new groups of people need to work together Finding a "new normal" when it comes to time management How inbound marketing is changing and impacting the industry What happens when you become a new mom and get a new job Why "failure" is a sought after trait in entrepreneurs What entrepreneurs have in common with Harry Potter and Luke Skywalker How the biggest changes often yield the best new chapters in life Why being uncomfortable and scared is when real growth occurs Our advice for those undergoing change in their own lives ...and more! Resources Quintain and Impact Joined Forces: Here's Why (& the Lesson for All) Remote Work: The 10 Biggest Misconceptions 6 Rules to Live by When You Work in an Office but Have Remote Team Members Creator's Block will be back on a full-time basis soon! Until then, however, drop me a line in the comments. I'd love to hear your experiences with managing life's curveballs -- both in the office and at home.
