Shadow Politics with Senator Michael D. Brown
Guest, Dr. Jonathan Metzl author of Dying of Whiteness - How the Politics of Racial Resentment is Killing America’s Heartland
It's more than just about the guns. Although it has become clear that any person who wants a gun can get one, the problem is more complex than that. I will discuss with Dr. Metzl the intersection of guns, race and mental health. What do we need to do to reexamine our approach to ending the plague of gun violence in America? Why do we vote against our own self-interest?

parenting.
The adultification of Black girls is additionally exacerbated by Americaâs inability to let Black children just be children, and propensity to inflict violence on to them. Itâs why cops confused 12-year-old Tamir Rice with an adult man before killing him and why they also perceived Tatyana Hargrove as a Black man before tackling and beating her. This adultification not only hinders Black girlsâ childhoods, therefore, but reiterates the social practices that punish us more, give us less emotional support, and push us into the school-to-prison pipeline. As Epstein told NPR, âAs girls are forming their view of the world and their place in it and their relationship to others, they are getting this feedback that they don't need nurturing or protection. And that's likely to very much affect their long-term outcomes, including their outlook on life as adults.â
It's unfortunate that it's the negative that gets your attention. For many, it's like a magnet, an irrepressible force that pulls you in and affects your moods, your thoughts and your sense of what's possible.
Consultant, Author, Military Expert
Captain William Toti USN Retired

Location: Florida, United States
Occupation: Consultant, Author, Military Expert
“Here’s a real statistic for you: 200,000 people leave the military every year, and of those, greater than 50 percent quit their first job or are fired from their first job within two years of leaving the military,” Toti said. “Most transitioning veterans struggle, and it increases their stress level. And for those with PTSD, failure to transition just adds to that.”
On the other side of the equation are companies that don’t understand the veteran mindset and don’t know how to help their veterans succeed, and this disconnect costs companies millions of dollars in lost recruiting costs and compensation.
In an effort to “reboot things for transitioning veterans,” Toti started writing down lessons he had learned in his post-military career. The result is his book, From CO to CEO: A Practical Guide for Transitioning from Military to Industry Leadership.
“The book is intended to correct the defects the military injects into its transitioning veterans before they leave service; it’s intended to help companies head off problems in assimilating new veteran employees; and it’s intended to serve as a guide for transitioning veterans to help them understand the business environment and learn new skills necessary for them to succeed,” Toti added.
William Toti served for more than 26 years on active duty, culminating as commodore of Submarine Squadron 3, then 15 years as a corporate executive and eventually a CEO. He has been featured in several documentaries, including The Lost Ships of World War II (Fox), USS Indianapolis: The Final Chapter (PBS), USS Indianapolis: Live from the Deep (PBS), USS Indianapolis: The Legacy, 9/11: One Day in America (National Geographic), 9/11: The Pentagon (The History Channel) and 9/11: Inside the Pentagon (PBS). He is co-host of the popular YouTube podcast, "An Unauthorized History of the Pacific War"

President at Vestibular Training Services & provider of Figure Skating Spin Training Tools & Seminars Worldwide
Sheila Thelen has been a coach at the Figure Skating Club of Bloomington in Minnesota for the past 32 years. However, teaching skating is just part of her busy life dedicated to improving skaters’ training.
Thelen created several products skaters use on and off ice to help their skating techniques. She also hosts numerous seminars and is part of an online coaching staff.
“I’m thrilled to have met Trevor Laak, the founder of iCoachSkating.com, before he founded it,” Thelen said.
After meeting at Grassroots to Champions seminars, Thelen joined his company as a consultant and helps with their online marketing.
“iCoachSkating is truly a revolution in how coaches all over can improve their knowledge and improve their skaters,” Thelen said. “Every problem a coach has ever had, Trevor has a video to fix that problem. It’s fun to see skaters and coaches learning new techniques and skills on iCoachSkating, and it’s fantastic that skaters and coaches can join the website.”
iCoach, however, is just the beginning. She’s also a very successful entrepreneur, creating several products skaters use to improve various elements.
“My first big product I created was the ‘Jump Ease Skating Harness,’” Thelen said. “I learned a lot about business and how to make a company fun.”
Her second product, Champion Cords, taught her to embrace something new at the time: a business website.
“I really learned how to create a website, and to work with patents (USA Patent: 7,214,171), skate shops, seminars, packaging, staff and manufacturing,” Thelen said. “Champion Cords are fantastic for teaching a skater to feel alignment position, muscle memory awareness and technique.”
Thelen since added the Champion Skating Harness and Champion Electric Spinner.
“Both of these products help the skater learn vestibular balance and air position,” Thelen said. “Truly how you train modern day rotation. It’s actually fun to see people installing this gear in their homes. They are also great for seminars. We haul in a harness, install it and train coaches how to use it.”
Her Champion Developmental Seminars keep this busy coach traveling to clubs with many top coaches.
“Each seminar can be custom designed to feature a guest coach,” Thelen said. “We bring in tons of gear and help the coaches develop skaters at all levels. We are absolutely honored to have an amazing staff of coaches to help.”
Thelen even created a fun jewelry piece with her Champion Achievement Charm bracelet. The charms include all the jumps and spins, a perfect and fun way for skaters to keep track of their progression.
“As your skater progresses through the sport, add a charm to the bracelet,” Thelen said.
Thelen will host a booth featuring all her products at the upcoming May PSA and CFSA conferences in Chicago and Moncton NB, Canada. A two day seminar with World Coach Ravi Walia is scheduled for June at the Bloomington FSC.
Her skating harness and electric spinner also recently became part of physical therapy research and development work with autistic children, something Thelen is extremely proud of.
“This work is so important to me,” Thelen said. “Improving children’s, skaters and families’ lives.”
