So, whatever we can do to help or provide flexibility and certain things to help them, so that they're not hating coming to work every day.” - Julie Levine “Communication is everything. It's one of those universal truths that it's not just an insurance agency thing, it's just how much can we talk about these things, and talk about the marketplace, and talk about how these are the things we're facing. But, this isn't something unique to our agency.” - Jason Levine “You have to inspect what you expect. And, you have to get down and dirty and be a part of the team...Not just some figure off to the side.” - Jason Levine  Resources Mentioned:    Julie Levine LinkedIn Jason Levine LinkedIn Harry Levine Insurance Kelly Donahue-Piro LinkedIn Agency Performance Partners

Why Is Florida Insurance So Different - Podcast with Harry Levine Insurance

Lawrence Rosenthal

Since Trump's victory and the UK's Brexit vote, much of the commentary on the populist epidemic has focused on the emergence of populism. But, Lawrence Rosenthal argues, what is happening globally is not the emergence but the transformation of right-wing populism. Rosenthal, the founder of UC Berkeley's Center for Right-Wing Studies, suggests right-wing populism is a protean force whose prime mover is the resentment felt toward perceived cultural elites, and whose abiding feature is its ideological flexibility, which now takes the form of xenophobic nationalism. In 2016, American right-wing populists migrated from the free marketeering Tea Party to Donald Trump's "hard hat," anti-immigrant, America-First nationalism. This was the most important single factor in Trump's electoral victory and it has been at work across the globe. In Italy, for example, the Northern League reinvented itself in 2018 as an all-Italy party, switching its fury from southerners to immigrants, and came to power. Rosenthal paints a vivid sociological, political, and psychological picture of the transnational quality of this movement, which is now in power in at least a dozen countries, creating a de facto Nationalist International. In America and abroad, the current mobilization of right-wing populism has given life to long marginalized threats like white supremacy. The future of democratic politics in the United States and abroad depends on whether the liberal and left parties have the political capacity to mobilize with a progressive agenda of their own. Rosenthal discusses his new book, Empire of Resentment, with sociologist Harry Levine. ________________________________________________ Produced by Maddie Gobbo &amp; Michael Kowaleski Theme: "I Love All My Friends," a new, unreleased demo by Fragile Gang.
