Our border issue is a constant fodder for debate in our political discourse. A significant number of people want to focus on the security, economic, and political risks. Others counter with an open border sympathetic position, leaning on the plight of the environment people are fleeing from.

Clearly, America cannot have open borders as a public policy. That is not sustainable or workable. America cannot deport every single illegal migrant. Might not be workable or possible. There needs to be a solution that deals with the now, the future, and able to be maintained in the spirit of our best traditions.

In this special podcast episode, I discuss the issue with a focus of offering a new approach. Please experience this new podcast episode below.

People operate with focus on self interest, but they also aim to protect their norm. Change is only accepted when there is no other choice. When people are faced with the choice to adapt or become irrelevant. Even the most progressive person will adhere to what is normal to them when pressed.

How do we adapt when what we thought to be true turns out to not be the case? The idea that economic isolation would create a situation where the isolated could potentially become the most productive economy in the advanced world? Reliance on like minded allies as well as increased domestic production.

In this podcast episode, I discuss self awareness and adaptability, the unexpected Russian economic revival, and other current events. Please experience this new podcast episode below.

Everyone wants to be viewed as normal and believes they are the shining example of normalcy in the world. You could follow every trend out there and make every by the book decision to be considered normal. But there will always be some groups that will view you as abnormal. Normal is subjective to a degree.

For some people, the perfect cup of coffee is caffeinated with a mixture of condiments like cream and sugar or just black. Others prefer decaffeinated coffee, which I know people who view that as warm flat soda. But to each group, the way they like their coffee is the norm and others are outside of that norm.

Why worry about the norm if the differing behaviors have no impact on your well being, your outcomes, or anything that involves you? There are times when our views of normal does cause conflicts, but for the most part, people just live their lives by a different code. Worry about maximizing your opportunities rather than what others do.

In this podcast episode, I discuss normalcy, our social norms, change, and other current events. Please experience this new podcast episode below.

Artificial intelligence is an industry that holds a great amount of potential. In turn creates some levels of risks, concerns, and challenges. But we must always remember that our society is innovative, resilient, and bold. Whenever events happened in the past, where there were valid concerns over the impact on employment, the structure of work adapted.

In many ways, the people concerned over how the new technology will impact certain career fields and certain classes of workers are showing their own level of prisoner of the moment thinking. There are valid concerns at the same time as unknown new lines of work and careers that will be created by this new technology.

Our worries are tied to our mental constructs and how we perceive things should operate based on our experiences, education, and traditions. There is always the opportunity to blend the principles that have guided us in the past into the ideas that will shape our futures. Be less concerned about the automation of mundane redundant tasks and plan for what is done with freed up time, talent, and energy.

We should never doubt the ingenuity and power of the American people and our American economy. Now, in the past, and in the future, the people that drive our economy, our government, and our society will always find new solutions to push us forward even after they may push us to the brink at times.

In this podcast episode, I discuss artificial intelligence, social constructs, improving employment recruitment, and more. Please experience Social Intelligence below.

People generally want to be treated with equal consideration, but do not want to be held to the same standards. If the standards are not the same and the expectations are not the same, then you really are not equal in consideration.

Perseverance should not be confused with stubbornness. One does expect a leader to stand up for what they believe in, but also a leader is able to read the tea leaves and make sound judgment calls to deliver the best outcome.

In this podcast episode, I how we can improve our standards and social expectations, why we need to broaden our perspective on where diversity exists, and recent current events.

The ability to lead is less about telling others what they should and need to do and more about developing the talent in others to help maximize performance and quality of the entire team. Just as talent and ability is important to your overall staff, the ability to lead is vital to guide those talented individuals to produce the desired results at the desired quality without the need to micro manage.

The best organizations are always the ones that have effective leadership cultures that inspire workers to contribute towards the mission of the company. Not because it will justify their paychecks, but because they belief the outcomes with justify their organizations existence and their efforts.

In this podcast episode, I discuss leadership, artificial intelligence, and leadership challenges in areas where it is needed most. Also, experience the newest series featured at the end of this episode.

There needs to be more rewards in life for those who do the right thing. For those who demonstrate good behavior. And those who are a positive to our communities. While doing good is said to be reward in itself, society needs to encourage people to be a positive on their communities and our economy.

Much is made about what is fair and inequities in the world. But, it is not fair that the people who tear our society down, harm our economy, and drawn on those around them get more than their fair share of attention from policymakers, media, and our overall discourse. If we want good in our society, we need to reward and give attention to those who create it.

In this podcast episode, I discuss encouraging better decision making, how to deal with fairness in life, electric vehicles, and a new streaming service.

The United States of America is a nation built on the premise of being for the people, of the people, and by the people. That is our governing philosophy. Although the government is made up of the people, society needs people outside of government to make up ground or fill in the gaps where public policy fails to adequately address our needs.

In reality, the idea of American governance was that government would be limited to the functions that it can do best. For instance, the government is best in providing a strong national defense and domestic law enforcement. In theory of course. The government is generally the best institution to maintain public infrastructure that is used broadly. But, most other areas government fails considerably in meeting the expectations of society.

That is why our democracy combined with our free market capitalist economy is an important duo that makes America exceptionally great. The private sector is able to provide solutions that fill the gaps or better meet the personalized needs of the individual. People are able to bring solutions to light and find resources not limited to the will of bureaucrats or central planners. In this podcast episode below, I highlight an important manner how the people saved a precious institution.

The United States of America is a nation built on the premise of being for the people, of the people, and by the people with great focus on individual freedoms, choice, and self governance. Back then, as is the case now for many, people wanted to live their lives on their own terms and pursue their own version of happiness and success.

At times, there are reasonable requests to ask that people put the greater good over their own self interests. But the bar that power brokers will use to measure these request must be high and the impact balanced, not isolated to one group. Individual freedom and choice must be sacred in a free society.

All people speak about supporting freedom, but some have different ideas of what freedom is and how absolute it should be. Depends largely if you have individualist leanings or collectivist sympathies, who are more likely exchange freedoms for a false perception of temporary comfort and security.

In this podcast episode, I discuss the need to be your authentic self and how to improve performance when you do not achieve you goals using football as an example. Also, I discuss the official beginning of the 2024 presidential cycle and more. Please listen below.

America is the most diverse nation in the world. More people legally migrate to the United States than any other nation in the world. Our diversity is a strength that allows us to attain supply our economy with the best and the brightest.

There can be a move to enhance our openness to diversity without fostering an environment of racial tension, hyper-hysteria on demographics, and myopic view on where discrimination comes from. We can move towards inclusiveness that is actually fair to all parties while not creating resentment and anger.

In this podcast episode, I discuss issues that impact our race relations and offer ideas to embrace diversity in a rational manner.
