The Tom Ficklin Show: In Conversation with Seth Poole, Executive Director, Greater New Haven OIC

b CAUSE goes back to one-half of its authentic roots as Nicole Licata Grant talks with long-time friend and New Haven Mayoral Candidate Seth Poole.  Childhood friendships to "Ego-Death", "hard times to having "all that": venture outside the confines of Corporate America to discover guerrilla-style leadership in urban America.  Join us for a powerful conversation, battling stigmas, divides and conflicts, the business potential of a pair of Jordan's, and what happens when you realize pedigree is not just a brand of dog food.  This is a long one. Please join us to the end.  Ignore the yearbook page flipping, coffee pouring, and bird noises. You won't be disappointed.   And you can find and support Seth via  and "Poole for Mayor" on Facebook.

"Imagine that, backing into sex education because of learning about AIDS. That basically sums up our childhood." "I did not know you had all that and I have known you for a long-ass time!" "Hard times are spreading. Just like the flu. Watch out, homeboy, don't let it catch you" - Run DMC, Hard Times." "You can pile all of your Catholic Churches on top of each other and you still will not be half as conservative as a black grandma." "What happens in the house stays in the house: children are to be seen not heard... if the children are being disrespected and they are not allowed to speak out, what kind of kids do you get?" "I can be your DJ and Justice of Peace." "I think that in the words of Ice Cube, there has to be some 'hard-core administrating'." "I've experienced what it is to be someone who grew up in a single-parent household and on assistant with TANF and WIC and all the rest of that stuff. I know what it's like to have a household full of roaches, and what it's like to have a mouse problem. I know what it's like to lose a job, what it's like to not know where your next meal is coming from. And I also know what it's like to sit on top of the Great Wall of China." "I grew up here. I am a concerned citizen. And this is my birthplace... and it shouldn't be something you aspire to get away from. It should be something you aspire to have ownership of." "For me, the way out has always been through." "I am throwing the rope down for a living." "We are going to ask for the grace of people who do not have any reason to be gracious." "We have to build our houses of worship that are focussed around the community. We worship each other's better successes." "I see New Haven as the tipping point for the planet." "None of this is about you. None of this is about me. This is about young people, this is about old people, this is about paying it forward and creating a culture of supporting the most vulnerable. If we do that everyone can also profit from each other." "All we have to do is get off the selfish, and that's a big part of leadership." "You are literally one pair of Jordans away from being a business owner." "I show up hardcore every day." "This shouldn't be a place where only two classes of people exist: you can either afford to insulate yourself, or you can't afford to leave." "We are going to improve this city with the people in it."
