Peter Drucker famously said that "culture eats strategy for breakfast." We take a look at the role of culture in this election season by discussing Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables" comments and sharing our interview with Nikki Johnson-Huston, attorney, advocate, and the author of "The Culture of the Smug White Liberal." We also briefly cover the cease-fire in Syria, how September 11 influences our generation, and the "life-changing" power of paring things down.  Hosted on Acast.

The Briefcase: Unanswerable Questions

America’s favorite sport has become the latest arena for partisan politics. We discuss the President’s statements on the NFL and the relationship between race, politics, and patriotism. We also talk about North Korean policy continuing to play out via Twitter and the incredible suffering Puerto Rico. We end the show with what's on our minds outside of politics--including Sarah's home purchase and an article on accidental killings that touched Beth.  Thanks so much to our sponsors for today's episode:  ThirdLove and ModCloth.  North Korea has started referring to President Trump as  "Mr. Evil President." Its foreign minister says that sending missiles to the US mainland is "inevitable," and the President tweeted that North Korea might not exist much longer if it continues this kind of rhetoric. Side note: we're grateful for professionals continuing to support this administration's foreign policy apparatus and concerned that they might exit around the  one-year mark.  We wish we had the right words to express the angst we feel for our fellow Americans in Puerto Rico. Days after Hurricane Irma,  Hurricane Maria destroyed 90% of Puerto Rican's homes, took down power lines and internet, and created floodwaters ten feet high. We also talk about continued recovery efforts in Texas and Florida. We're particularly inspired by  The Lady General Foundation's efforts.  We send our thoughts to  Nashville in the wake of a church shooting on Sunday.  We discuss President Trump's  remarks in support of Luther Strange in Alabama over the weekend and how his comments on whipping votes might impact future negotiations.  To compliment the other side, Sarah highlights the work of  Republican Puerto Rican Congresswoman Jenniffer Gonzalez-Colon. Beth thanks Democratic Ohio Representative Nickie Antonio for sponsoring House Bill 160, making Ohio's non-discrimination laws more inclusive.  We discuss the President's comments about sports, race, and patriotism in depth. In our (not atypically!) wide-ranging discussion, we discuss what we know about

Beto Drops Out, Warren's Healthcare Plans, and Gov. Steve Bullock

Russian agents bought Facebook ads targeted to voters in crucial swing states in last years elections, and the implications of the attention economy on our democracy go far beyond 2016. We focus on Facebook, Twitter, and the devices we use to distract ourselves from discomfort.  Thanks so much to the sponsors for this episode:  Baublebar, ModCloth, and Virtue Labs.  We start today's podcast discussing an article on why mass shootings tend to be committed by men. We also talk about the  Harvey Weinstein story and the bizarrely partisan reactions to that story. We note that the transactional nature of masculine energy seems to be taking shape in the  spat that Donald Trump is having with Senator Bob Corker.  To compliment the other party, Sarah commends  Senator Dean Heller and other Republicans who have urged ATF to review standards on the sale of bump stocks. Beth compliments Senator  Dianne Feinstein for her long-term service and work on gun safety measures.  For our feature topic, we discuss why Facebook, Twitter, and Google are so effectively and perhaps unintentionally transforming our politics and brains. In our discussion, we cite the following resources:   How Information Overload Robs Us of Our Creativity  Our Minds Can Be Hijacked Mindful Resistance  The Attention Economy and the Demise of the Middle Ground Pema Chodron on Dunzi  Realizd app We end, as always, with what's on our minds outside of politics. Both of us are thinking about clearing space to make room for things that make us better.        Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
