00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:06.320
<v Speaker 1>It's Nightside with Dan Ray on w b Z Boston Radio,

2
00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:09.800
<v Speaker 1>the Iike's One to Day on Wall Street, and the

3
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:16.399
<v Speaker 1>the Red Sox. It's salvage a win, but barely. Uh anyway, Uh,

4
00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:20.280
<v Speaker 1>it's it's and the weather is really cold. Spring has

5
00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:22.480
<v Speaker 1>not sprung. We're like a third of the way it

6
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:25.920
<v Speaker 1>seems to me, well not a third, maybe a quarter

7
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:28.719
<v Speaker 1>of the way through the spring. But that's okay. We're

8
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:30.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna cheer with Betty up tonight, that's for sure. My

9
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>name is Dan Ray. Thank you very much. Nicole rob Brooks,

10
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:36.280
<v Speaker 1>the producer of Nightside, is back in the broadcast to

11
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:39.520
<v Speaker 1>center in Medford, Massachusetts. He's all set to begin to

12
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:41.799
<v Speaker 1>take your phone calls beginning at nine o'clock. In this hour,

13
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:45.759
<v Speaker 1>we have four very interesting guests. Each of them have

14
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:48.759
<v Speaker 1>a story that you should be aware of, and and

15
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:50.799
<v Speaker 1>we will get to all of them, I promise. And

16
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:54.560
<v Speaker 1>later on tonight at nine o'clock, we're gonna talk about

17
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:59.399
<v Speaker 1>that that MBTA train collision with a tractor trailer truck

18
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:03.399
<v Speaker 1>yesterday and Canton. I'm sure that we'll figure out what

19
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:06.000
<v Speaker 1>happened or how that happened there. But I got some

20
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:08.840
<v Speaker 1>questions and We're going to raise those at nine o'clock,

21
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:12.079
<v Speaker 1>and then we will talk about the roller coaster ride

22
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:16.000
<v Speaker 1>of the stock market which continue today. Yesterday they climbed

23
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Killimajaro and today they get right down the other side,

24
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:24.400
<v Speaker 1>just up and down like a literally like a yo yo.

25
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:26.400
<v Speaker 1>So we'll get to all of that, but first let's

26
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:29.280
<v Speaker 1>get back to something we can all agree upon, and

27
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:32.680
<v Speaker 1>that is the Stepping Strong Center at Brigham and Women's

28
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Hospital with us as Cheryl Lang. She's the program director

29
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:41.879
<v Speaker 1>for the Stepping Stone Stepping Strong Center at Brigham and

30
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Women's Hospital. Easy for me to say, Cheryl Lang, Welcome

31
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:47.920
<v Speaker 1>to night Set. How are you this evening?

32
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:51.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm great, Dan, how are you? Thank you so much

33
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:51.920
<v Speaker 2>for having me.

34
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:57.159
<v Speaker 1>You know, this is a wonderful organization that came out

35
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:01.760
<v Speaker 1>of the the horrific events of the marathon bombing. Now

36
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:05.000
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be, believe it or not, twelve years

37
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:09.560
<v Speaker 1>ago this April. It just doesn't seem possible that the

38
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:16.000
<v Speaker 1>twelve years have passed. But how did this start? There

39
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:20.800
<v Speaker 1>was a young woman who was injured. Her name Jillian Rennie.

40
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:22.599
<v Speaker 1>Is that how her name was pronounced?

41
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:27.199
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that's right. Jillian Rennie was unfortunately, one of the

42
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:32.919
<v Speaker 2>survivors of the marathon bombing. She was cheering on her

43
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:35.560
<v Speaker 2>sister at the time at the finish line with her family,

44
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:41.159
<v Speaker 2>and she unfortunately suffered traumatic injuries to her legs. Thankfully,

45
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:44.800
<v Speaker 2>she was treated at Brigham and Women's Hospital, where the

46
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:47.560
<v Speaker 2>doctors and nurses were able to save her life and

47
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:51.039
<v Speaker 2>both of her legs. And as a result of learning,

48
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:55.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, just how underfunded and neglected the field of

49
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:59.479
<v Speaker 2>traumacare is, and being a trauma survivor herself, her family

50
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:01.240
<v Speaker 2>really wanted to give back to the brig down and

51
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:04.879
<v Speaker 2>so they started this incredible center that I'm so fortunate

52
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.639
<v Speaker 2>to be a part of, called the Jillian Running Stepping

53
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.879
<v Speaker 2>Trauma Center for Trauma Innovation at Brigham.

54
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Now, my understanding is that as many great charities do

55
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:21.280
<v Speaker 1>you folks actually have a running team raising money for

56
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:25.560
<v Speaker 1>the center. You've done it how many marathons in a row? Now?

57
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:29.919
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah. We started in twenty fourteen, a year after

58
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:35.280
<v Speaker 2>the marathon bombing, and it is our largest fundraiser for

59
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:39.080
<v Speaker 2>the year. It is critical to the work that we do.

60
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:43.240
<v Speaker 2>We basically we fuel a lot of trauma research and

61
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:48.400
<v Speaker 2>really advance the field of trauma care through innovative treatments

62
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:53.400
<v Speaker 2>and discoveries. We do educational programs for both clinicians and

63
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:56.960
<v Speaker 2>the general public to prevent trauma or treat trauma, and

64
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:01.080
<v Speaker 2>also improve recovery of trauma. Really critical to all of

65
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.280
<v Speaker 2>the work that we're doing, and we are so fortunate

66
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:05.719
<v Speaker 2>this year to have about one hundred and fifty three

67
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:09.039
<v Speaker 2>runners on our team all fundraising for trauma care.

68
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:12.479
<v Speaker 1>What do you think you raised this year? I'm sure

69
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.039
<v Speaker 1>you have some idea of what you want to raise.

70
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:19.079
<v Speaker 1>One hundred and fifty three runners, that's multiplied by all

71
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:21.439
<v Speaker 1>of the people who support each of those runners. What

72
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:24.839
<v Speaker 1>have you raised so far? And well, what did you

73
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:26.360
<v Speaker 1>raise last year? And what are you trying to do?

74
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:28.040
<v Speaker 1>What are you going to try to do this year?

75
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:31.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we are trying to raise at least one point

76
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.759
<v Speaker 2>seven million. We are at our one point four million

77
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:39.399
<v Speaker 2>mark right now, which you know, again is super critical

78
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:43.360
<v Speaker 2>because trauma research only receives less than two percent of

79
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:48.279
<v Speaker 2>federal research funding, and so we really do fuel all

80
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:52.399
<v Speaker 2>of our funding towards trauma research, and we have given

81
00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:55.759
<v Speaker 2>about eight million so far over the decade that our

82
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:58.519
<v Speaker 2>center has been around towards trauma research, and we really

83
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.319
<v Speaker 2>couldn't do it without the fund from the marathon, so

84
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:04.199
<v Speaker 2>it is essential if you've raised eight.

85
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:07.360
<v Speaker 1>If you've raised eight and you're going to try to

86
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:10.199
<v Speaker 1>get to one point seven, you're getting close to the

87
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:13.399
<v Speaker 1>ten million dollar mark, or hopefully get close to the

88
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:16.519
<v Speaker 1>ten million dollar mark, and I'm sure we'll exceed that

89
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:20.959
<v Speaker 1>next year. What can listeners do? I assume that the

90
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:23.480
<v Speaker 1>running team at this point is well formed, so you

91
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:26.639
<v Speaker 1>probably can't get any more bibs to run, But what

92
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:29.000
<v Speaker 1>can listeners do if they'd like to support a runner

93
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:30.240
<v Speaker 1>or support the program?

94
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:34.519
<v Speaker 2>Generally, Yeah, we have a website it's the Brigham and

95
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:39.079
<v Speaker 2>Women's Stepping Strong Marathon Team where people can go and

96
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:43.360
<v Speaker 2>donate and support runners who are obviously working really hard

97
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:46.519
<v Speaker 2>to get to their fundrais and goals and otherwise. Like

98
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:50.680
<v Speaker 2>our center also does the five k and the ten

99
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:54.600
<v Speaker 2>k and other running running fundraisers as well, if people

100
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:57.920
<v Speaker 2>want to get involved, We're always looking for ways to

101
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:01.160
<v Speaker 2>increase our running community and really help advance the field

102
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:03.199
<v Speaker 2>of trauma care and breathe awareness about it.

103
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:05.399
<v Speaker 1>So if people aren't ready to run a marathon but

104
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:08.000
<v Speaker 1>like to participate in a five k or a ten k.

105
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Is that throughout the year. That's just not a marathon weekend?

106
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:16.680
<v Speaker 2>Is so no, not just marathon weekend. We do. We

107
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:19.680
<v Speaker 2>have teams with the Boston five k, the Boston ten

108
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:23.319
<v Speaker 2>k which is in June, and then also the Falmouth

109
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:28.040
<v Speaker 2>road Race, which is in so many opportunities.

110
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Let's do that website one more time, nice and slowly,

111
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:34.000
<v Speaker 1>so everybody can write it down. And we have a

112
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:36.639
<v Speaker 1>lot of runners in the Boston area. I think most

113
00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:42.279
<v Speaker 1>most people realize the running heritage and the running legacy

114
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:45.079
<v Speaker 1>that exists in this community. Going back to you know,

115
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Johnny Kelly and the first marathon was at eighteen ninety

116
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:54.560
<v Speaker 1>seven here in Boston. Tell us, how give us that

117
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:56.920
<v Speaker 1>website nice and slowly one more time?

118
00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:01.480

130
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:45.720
<v Speaker 1>maybe they can participate as a donor and I get it.

160
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Hall of Famers, Hot Stove, Cool Music, twenty five years.

161
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Where's the time gone? Back?

162

<v Speaker 3>Right after this, you're on night Side with Dan Ray

163
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:44.279
<v Speaker 3>on WBZ, Boston's news Radio.

164
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:47.559
<v Speaker 1>Well, we have a big event coming up this weekend,

165
00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:52.360
<v Speaker 1>actually this Saturday night, and with us to talk about

166
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.559
<v Speaker 1>it is the executive director of the Foundation to be

167
00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:01.039
<v Speaker 1>named later Elise Now, Jimmy Alease, Welcome to Night'side. How

168
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:03.240
<v Speaker 1>were you Dan?

169
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:05.919
<v Speaker 4>Thank you so much for having me. I love your show.

170
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:07.159
<v Speaker 4>I'm doing very well.

171
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:11.919
<v Speaker 1>Thanksane, thank you very much. I think most people know

172
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:16.759
<v Speaker 1>that Hot Stove Cool Music is a great charity that

173
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:22.000
<v Speaker 1>is involved with the Red Sox organization. I think Peter

174
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:27.360
<v Speaker 1>Gammons and Theo Epstein may have actually started this, but

175
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:30.200
<v Speaker 1>it's amazing to think that it's been now around for

176
00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:34.200
<v Speaker 1>twenty five years. Say it ain't so that. Where is

177
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:35.799
<v Speaker 1>those twenty five years gone?

178
00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:41.240
<v Speaker 4>Where have they gone? It's so true. So yeah, So

179
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:46.440
<v Speaker 4>here's the story. Peter Gammon's started Hot Stove Cool Music

180
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:50.679
<v Speaker 4>in two thousand. This is before CEO and Paul even

181
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:55.480
<v Speaker 4>started the foundation to be named later, because Peter wanted

182
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:57.240
<v Speaker 4>to give back, so he didn't want to do a

183
00:10:57.240 --> 00:11:00.720
<v Speaker 4>golf tournament. He wanted he loves music and he loves baseball,

184
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:04.879
<v Speaker 4>and a lot of baseball players loved playing music, so

185
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:08.360
<v Speaker 4>he started it and THEO actually back then played guitar

186
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:10.399
<v Speaker 4>in a band, so THEO used to jump in and

187
00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:14.440
<v Speaker 4>play with them. And then after, of course, you know,

188
00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:16.320
<v Speaker 4>we won the World Series in two thousand and four

189
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:19.320
<v Speaker 4>and THEO was the general manager helping with that. He

190
00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:22.399
<v Speaker 4>and his twin brother Paul decided to harness all the

191
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:26.000
<v Speaker 4>love of the Red Sox fans and turn it into

192
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:29.399
<v Speaker 4>good in the community. So they created the Foundation to

193
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:33.759
<v Speaker 4>be named later, named after you know this, but some

194
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:36.559
<v Speaker 4>people might not realize it. They didn't know what to

195
00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:39.320
<v Speaker 4>name it after they created it, and Paul said, let's

196
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:41.679
<v Speaker 4>name it later, and THEO said, let's just name it

197
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:44.159
<v Speaker 4>after a player to be named later. The Major League

198
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:47.600
<v Speaker 4>Baseball trade term when he goes to trade a player

199
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:49.440
<v Speaker 4>and they don't know who they're going to get. So

200
00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:53.360
<v Speaker 4>that name stuck. And they started this twenty years ago

201
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:57.720
<v Speaker 4>and Peter decided to give the Foundation to be named

202
00:11:57.759 --> 00:12:01.200
<v Speaker 4>later hot Stove Cool Music, so that it would be

203
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:03.960
<v Speaker 4>our signature event. So we have had Hot Stove Cool

204
00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:08.799
<v Speaker 4>Music as our signature event that we run since since

205
00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:10.600
<v Speaker 4>Paul and THEO started the foundation.

206
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:12.120
<v Speaker 3>And Peter, you've got.

207
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Carrying along the baseball theme here. You have quite a

208
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:21.600
<v Speaker 1>line up on Saturday night. Their tickets are still available,

209
00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:24.879
<v Speaker 1>but this is going to be a big event. It's

210
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:30.200
<v Speaker 1>at the Paradise on Commonwealth Avenue in Boston. Uh you

212
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:36.919
<v Speaker 1>the president of the Red Sox. I'm not sure how

213
00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:39.320
<v Speaker 1>many of these folks are going to be playing, but

214
00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:43.159
<v Speaker 1>who's who of Boston Sports. But you even have a

215

<v Speaker 4>Bernie is a big part of our family and has

219
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:57.000
<v Speaker 4>been for a long time. Lenny DeNardo is going to

<v Speaker 4>Peter Gammon's College Scholarships for young people who are overcoming

237
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:04.600
<v Speaker 4>mendus obstacles to get to college. We pay their tuition gap,

238
00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:07.879
<v Speaker 4>we give them a mentor who stays with them all

239
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:11.519
<v Speaker 4>through their college journey. We help them with internships, and

240
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:14.200
<v Speaker 4>we also help them get jobs. And all we ask

241
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:16.279
<v Speaker 4>is that they turn around and help mentor the next

242
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:20.600
<v Speaker 4>generation of Gammon scholars. So we're really really lucky that

<v Speaker 4>this concert helps us do that. And we have the

244
00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:26.799
<v Speaker 4>best people in attendance and the best people on stage,

<v Speaker 4>and the best people promoting it like you.

246
00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:33.399
<v Speaker 1>Well, my pleasure, that's for sure. So it's the paradise

247
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:38.279
<v Speaker 1>on Comwealth Avenue. It's this Saturday. The doors open at five.

248
00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:40.559
<v Speaker 1>I know it's supposed to be a rainy day Saturday,

249
00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:44.639
<v Speaker 1>but what a great way to spend Saturday night indoors

250
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:48.360
<v Speaker 1>listening to some Greek music. The concert starts at seven

251
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:53.240
<v Speaker 1>pm and the tickets available at Foundation to be named

252
00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:55.840
<v Speaker 1>later dot org or if you just want to do

253
00:14:55.960 --> 00:15:02.840
<v Speaker 1>the acronym FTBNL dot And I know over the years

254
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:06.159
<v Speaker 1>you've had some great current place. Of course, the Red

255
00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:07.879
<v Speaker 1>Sox are going to be on the road, so no

256
00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Red Sox players will be in attendance, but the former

257
00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Red Sox will be represented very well there. And as

258
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:18.720
<v Speaker 1>they say, even to just to show how open minded

259
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:22.720
<v Speaker 1>this this foundation is, you're even allowing a former Yankee

260
00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:26.279
<v Speaker 1>to participate. I guess Bernie Williams is quite the musician.

261
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:28.799
<v Speaker 1>I mean he was. He was a musician in center

262
00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:31.519
<v Speaker 1>field with the Yankees. He was a great player with

263
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:35.919
<v Speaker 1>all those Yankee championship teams. And is he doing this?

264
00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:38.519
<v Speaker 1>Is he? I believe, and I'm shooting in the dark here,

265
00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:40.279
<v Speaker 1>but tell me if I'm wrong. I believe that he

266
00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:42.519
<v Speaker 1>actually now makes a living at that, and that he

267
00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:46.639
<v Speaker 1>does albums and he tours and he is a full

268
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:50.080
<v Speaker 1>time musician. I hope I'm not overstating it.

269
00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:54.480
<v Speaker 4>No, you're one hundred percent right. Bernie actually went after

270
00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:58.240
<v Speaker 4>his baseball career. He went to music college and he

271
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:04.519
<v Speaker 4>became reallyized and educated in music and performance. And now

272
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:07.000
<v Speaker 4>he does it all over the place. He does a

273
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:10.360
<v Speaker 4>lot of it for charity, but he's in high demand,

274
00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:15.279
<v Speaker 4>even in Boston. There's nothing better than watching Bernie Williams

275
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:19.279
<v Speaker 4>and Bronson Arroyo play together. On stage and backstage talk

276
00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:23.159
<v Speaker 4>about how they opposed each other on the fields. It's

277
00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:27.360
<v Speaker 4>just such a fun night that all these really magical

278
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:31.080
<v Speaker 4>things happen. Especially, you know, when you're at this event,

279
00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:32.399
<v Speaker 4>it's a small venue.

280
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:36.519
<v Speaker 1>It's less as long as Bernie doesn't bring a rod

281
00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:38.960
<v Speaker 1>along with him, because a rod will try to knock

282
00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:42.639
<v Speaker 1>the guitar out of Bronson's, Broun's and Arroyo's hand. I'm

283
00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:45.159
<v Speaker 1>sure you know that story back from the playoffs where

284
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:48.600
<v Speaker 1>a rod tries to knock the ball out of Arroyo's

285
00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:51.080
<v Speaker 1>hand as he's he's going to try to tag him.

286
00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:56.759
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, so it's great combination baseball in music, best

287
00:16:56.799 --> 00:16:59.960
<v Speaker 1>forms of entertainment that you could possibly have Saturday night

288

305
00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:58.640
<v Speaker 1>gentleman about what is calling the Great detachment, meaning a

306
00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:01.279
<v Speaker 1>lot of people are going back to work or are

307
00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:04.279
<v Speaker 1>back and worth but they're kind of detached from work.

308
00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why, but we will find out. So

309
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:10.279
<v Speaker 1>we have two more guests, and then, as they say,

310
00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:13.680
<v Speaker 1>after nine o'clock, I want to talk about that accident yesterday.

311
00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:19.440
<v Speaker 1>I just still don't understand how this happened, and i'd

312
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:21.799
<v Speaker 1>like to, you know, talk about that. We'll be back

313
00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:23.880
<v Speaker 1>on Night's Side right after the news at the bottom

314
00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:24.279
<v Speaker 1>of the hour.

315
00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:31.759
<v Speaker 3>It's Night Side with Boston's News Radio.

316
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Porry. Welcome back everyone. We are going to talk about

317
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:41.279
<v Speaker 1>a tradition in this country which is a great tradition. Frankly,

318
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:45.119
<v Speaker 1>I have known about it forever, but I certainly don't

319
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:48.279
<v Speaker 1>know when it started, and that's going to be one

320
00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:53.400
<v Speaker 1>of the jobs that my guest, Edgarhouski is going to

321
00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:58.279
<v Speaker 1>explain to us. Explain to us. It's a take a

322
00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:02.680
<v Speaker 1>child to work and beyond. Ed, I probably have butchered

323
00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:05.160
<v Speaker 1>your last name here. I'm guessing it's Grachoalski.

324
00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:08.920
<v Speaker 5>It's Korhalski, but works too.

325
00:19:09.119 --> 00:19:09.559
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

326
00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so the sea is silent, so it's Kwhoalski. Okay,

327
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:16.240
<v Speaker 1>I got it right. Yeah, well yeah, why do you

328
00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:19.480
<v Speaker 1>make the C silent there? I mean, that's a great letter.

329
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:24.839
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's an important letter of the alphabet, one

330
00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:27.319
<v Speaker 1>of the most important twenty six letters there are. So

331
00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:31.640
<v Speaker 1>you're you're the chief marketing officer of Junior Achievement USA.

332
00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:35.079
<v Speaker 1>I remember Junior Achievement. That's been around while?

333
00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:38.759
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, actually where Junior Achievement has been around for one

334
00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:40.160
<v Speaker 5>hundred and five years and.

335
00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:41.279
<v Speaker 1>It's a while.

336
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:42.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's been quite a while.

337
00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:45.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, I remember when I was a kid back

338
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:51.880
<v Speaker 1>in the last century. So us tell us about take

339
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:55.119
<v Speaker 1>a child to work day and beyond. I know it's

340
00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:59.240
<v Speaker 1>almost self explanatory, but it's Thursday, April twenty four to

341
00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:01.359
<v Speaker 1>twenty What you tell us about it?

342
00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:04.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so take a Child to Work Day and beyond

343
00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:07.400
<v Speaker 5>it's really the evolution of take your daughter to Work Day.

344
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:10.599
<v Speaker 5>You'd mentioned it goes backways. It was actually nineteen ninety

345
00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:13.559
<v Speaker 5>three when it started. I was originally with the MIDS

346
00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:17.559
<v Speaker 5>Foundation and then kind of had some different iterations and

347
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:21.400
<v Speaker 5>now Junior Achievement is leading the effort in partnership with

348
00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:24.440
<v Speaker 5>our friends over at Staples. And as you mentioned April

349
00:20:24.440 --> 00:20:27.519
<v Speaker 5>twenty fourth, there'll be young people going into workplaces across

350
00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:31.079
<v Speaker 5>the country to see what the world of work is

351
00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:34.279
<v Speaker 5>like up close. So again we're happy to continue this tradition.

352
00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Now April twenty fourth is a Thursday. Is that a

353
00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:45.880
<v Speaker 1>legitimate day kids can skip school? And yeah, bomb or Dad,

354
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:47.160
<v Speaker 1>what's going on there?

355
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:50.799
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, well, so typically schools will give permission. We do

356
00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:53.359
<v Speaker 5>have actually on our website. If you go to take

357
00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:58.079
<v Speaker 5>take a Child to Work Day and search that with

358
00:20:58.319 --> 00:21:01.519
<v Speaker 5>Junior Achievement, you'll find a website we have forums where

359
00:21:01.559 --> 00:21:03.319
<v Speaker 5>you can actually get permissions from school so you can

360
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:06.200
<v Speaker 5>bring your child in for the day or more importantly,

361
00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:08.519
<v Speaker 5>these days, we actually have opened it up so all

362
00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:10.359
<v Speaker 5>kinds of kids can go. And so if you don't

363
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:12.119
<v Speaker 5>have a child and then have an opportunity to go

364
00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:16.119
<v Speaker 5>to work with a parent. Through Junior Achievement and other organizations,

365
00:21:16.119 --> 00:21:18.920
<v Speaker 5>you can partner up and have them get a job

366
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:21.839
<v Speaker 5>shadowing experience, either on April twenty fourth or really year round.

367
00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:23.440
<v Speaker 5>That's where that beyond comes in.

368
00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, that then does explain it. How important is

369
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:33.960
<v Speaker 1>it in your opinion that whether it's someone's child, meaning

370
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:37.160
<v Speaker 1>a son or daughter, or for that matter, a niece

371
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:39.359
<v Speaker 1>and nephew, or I guess in theory it could be

372
00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:43.759
<v Speaker 1>a neighborhood a neighbor's child. It doesn't matter what the

373
00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:47.839
<v Speaker 1>parent does, whatever they do for a job, it's important.

374
00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:52.400
<v Speaker 1>And I think that every parent. I can remember as

375
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:54.559
<v Speaker 1>a kid getting a chance to go to work with

376
00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:58.359
<v Speaker 1>my dad occasionally. You've got a sense of what a

377
00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:02.319
<v Speaker 1>job was like, responsibilities, whatever the job is, whether your

378
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:07.519
<v Speaker 1>parent is selling cars, fixing cars, building cars, you know,

379
00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:11.119
<v Speaker 1>a greenskeeper, to golf course, anything, you could imagine that

380
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:14.319
<v Speaker 1>those Every job is important. Is that part of the.

381
00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:17.920
<v Speaker 5>Message, Yeah, it is. Every job is important. It also

382
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:21.359
<v Speaker 5>gives young people exposure to again, either what their parents

383
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:25.039
<v Speaker 5>doing or just different jobs in the workplace. You know,

384
00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:27.720
<v Speaker 5>kids really only know what they see and you know

385
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:30.000
<v Speaker 5>right now you have a big proportion of kids out

386
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:32.279
<v Speaker 5>there who all want to be influencers because that's what

387
00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:35.079
<v Speaker 5>they see. But we know we can't all be influencers.

388
00:22:35.079 --> 00:22:36.799
<v Speaker 5>So it does give them an opportunity to see what

389
00:22:36.839 --> 00:22:38.920
<v Speaker 5>different jobs there are, what kind of winds up with

390
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:42.240
<v Speaker 5>their interests and talents, and gets them to start thinking about,

391
00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:44.880
<v Speaker 5>you know, this might be something that I want to do,

392
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:47.400
<v Speaker 5>you know, in the future, and how from an education

393
00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:50.279
<v Speaker 5>standpoint can I get there. So that's really the intent

394
00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:51.480
<v Speaker 5>of the program.

395
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:55.759
<v Speaker 1>I also want you to explain Junior Achievement how it

396
00:22:55.799 --> 00:22:58.799
<v Speaker 1>has evolved over the years, because there may be people

397
00:22:59.160 --> 00:23:02.519
<v Speaker 1>who are listening to again, parents or grandparents who are

398
00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:05.119
<v Speaker 1>involved in Junior Achievement and have lost contact with it.

399
00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:09.119
<v Speaker 1>What's the status of Junior Achievement these days and how

400
00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:11.559
<v Speaker 1>can families or how can kids participate?

401
00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:18.079
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so Junior Achievement is a thriving, growing organization. We

402
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:20.839
<v Speaker 5>reach four and a half million young people a year,

403
00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:25.559
<v Speaker 5>including in the Greater Boston area, and really we emphasize

404
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:29.440
<v Speaker 5>work readiness, financial ordercy, and entrepreneurship. A lot of people

405
00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:32.960
<v Speaker 5>may remember Junior Achievement for our after school program, the

406
00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:36.039
<v Speaker 5>Company Program, where kids would start companies and go door

407
00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:39.359
<v Speaker 5>to door selling stock and products and services and things

408
00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:42.119
<v Speaker 5>like that. That was the foundation of our program up

409
00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:45.319
<v Speaker 5>until the mid seventies, but since then we've expanded into schools.

410
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:49.079
<v Speaker 5>We have programs for grades K through twelve and really

411
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:51.480
<v Speaker 5>just all kinds of great exposure for young people in

412
00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:55.480
<v Speaker 5>terms of understanding how the world works. Frankly, it's real

413
00:23:55.559 --> 00:23:58.480
<v Speaker 5>critical life skills. And so anyone who is interested in

414
00:23:58.519 --> 00:24:00.920
<v Speaker 5>finding out more about DAY, then good to our website

415
00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:04.759
<v Speaker 5>j dot org and you know, learn about the organization

416
00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:06.960
<v Speaker 5>in general. And also if they want to connect with

417
00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:10.640
<v Speaker 5>JA locally, there's there's ways to do that through that website.

418
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:14.160
<v Speaker 1>I will bet you that there's a lot of pretty

419
00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:18.519
<v Speaker 1>well known Americans who can trace the beginning of their

420
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:24.519
<v Speaker 1>exposure to the business world or to adulthood through junior achievement.

421
00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:28.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm shooting in the dark hair because I sometimes ask

422
00:24:28.519 --> 00:24:31.799
<v Speaker 1>questions that we don't script our questions here on Night's side.

423
00:24:31.880 --> 00:24:36.400
<v Speaker 1>So I'm just wondering, are there individuals who most of

424
00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:41.160
<v Speaker 1>my audience would know, who participated in junior achievements as

425
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:44.799
<v Speaker 1>young people and have gone on now to become pretty successful.

426
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:45.519
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

427
00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:47.759
<v Speaker 5>Well, Mark Cuban is a name that comes up.

428
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:51.279
<v Speaker 1>He was in jay and actually Dallas Mavericks.

429
00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:54.160
<v Speaker 5>Dallas Mavericks, Yeah, and you've seen him on Shark Tank,

430
00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:56.599
<v Speaker 5>but he Yeah, he was involved with Junior Achievement in

431
00:24:56.599 --> 00:25:00.160
<v Speaker 5>Pittsburgh when he was a teenager and actually has said

432
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:02.640
<v Speaker 5>that junior team had taught him, you know, everything he

433
00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:05.119
<v Speaker 5>knows about business. So that's a that's a great testament.

434
00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:08.880
<v Speaker 5>Doctor Sanje Gutta on CNN, who you know, he's a doctor.

435
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:11.640
<v Speaker 5>You wouldn't think that, he said, jay A really taught

436
00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:14.559
<v Speaker 5>him how to be confident in presenting himself because he

437
00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:16.240
<v Speaker 5>had to go in front of people and talk. And

438
00:25:16.319 --> 00:25:19.480
<v Speaker 5>so we've got lots of stories like that from different

439
00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:22.839
<v Speaker 5>different folks, and not just not just notable folks like that,

440
00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:25.839
<v Speaker 5>but really millions of people who've gone through the program

441
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:30.000
<v Speaker 5>who credit j for helping them really discover their potential

442
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:31.680
<v Speaker 5>and succeed in life.

443
00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:34.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, there's been a story in the newspaper

444
00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:38.160
<v Speaker 1>up here in the last few days. We haven't talked

445
00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:41.640
<v Speaker 1>about it much on the air, but it made the

446
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:44.119
<v Speaker 1>point that I guess this year. The story came out

447
00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:47.559
<v Speaker 1>of the Harvard Crimson newspaper that at Harvard University, they're

448
00:25:47.599 --> 00:25:53.480
<v Speaker 1>actually teaching remedial math to some of these the freshman

449
00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:56.359
<v Speaker 1>students at Harvard. Now, you would think that Harvard would

450
00:25:56.440 --> 00:26:00.599
<v Speaker 1>as always accept the best and brightest, and to think

451
00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:05.319
<v Speaker 1>that remedial math is being taught to kids who are

452
00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:08.559
<v Speaker 1>being accepted at Harvard points out that there's probably a

453
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:12.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of kids who can benefit from these programs. Yeah,

454
00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:15.720
<v Speaker 1>go to school, you know, attend classes, get your grades,

455
00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:19.039
<v Speaker 1>all of that. But when you when you're spending so

456
00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:23.480
<v Speaker 1>much time in front of computers again maybe aspiring as

457
00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:26.759
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned earlier, to become influences, you're missing out on

458
00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:29.920
<v Speaker 1>great programs, you know, whether it's Scouting or whether it's

459
00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:36.839
<v Speaker 1>Junior Achievement where you learn how to you know, how

460
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:41.160
<v Speaker 1>to market something, or even better yet, how to market yourself,

461
00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:44.839
<v Speaker 1>which is you get comfortable talking with other people. And

462
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:47.599
<v Speaker 1>I just think that a lot of parents and a

463
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:51.279
<v Speaker 1>lot of grandparents maybe have forgotten that the groups like

464
00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Junior Achievement are available to help their children and their

465
00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:59.599
<v Speaker 1>grandchildren apart in a way from the video screens. And

466
00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:02.160
<v Speaker 1>you can get lost in those video screens. I know

467
00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:04.960
<v Speaker 1>sometimes I'll get lost in those video screens and I'm

468
00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:07.839
<v Speaker 1>thinking to myself, you know, okay, that's enough. I've seen

469
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:11.440
<v Speaker 1>enough old time hockey fights, or I've seen enough, you know,

470
00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:15.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, great moments in baseball. Let's let's let's get

471
00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:18.319
<v Speaker 1>back to work. It can be, it can be really

472
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:22.079
<v Speaker 1>a real temptation there. And I just think kids miss

473
00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:26.440
<v Speaker 1>a lot by not being involved. I'm kind of old fashioned.

474
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:30.119
<v Speaker 1>I think about the idea of kids having paper roots

475
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:33.359
<v Speaker 1>and how many kids who had a paper route that

476
00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:36.960
<v Speaker 1>was what laid the foundation for their sense of how

477
00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:41.000
<v Speaker 1>the economy runs, what newspapers are. You know, we've gotten

478
00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:43.880
<v Speaker 1>away from a lot of that stuff in the last twenty,

479
00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:46.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, twenty or so years, And I think to

480
00:27:46.400 --> 00:27:48.079
<v Speaker 1>the detriment of young people. I don't know if you

481
00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:48.680
<v Speaker 1>agree with that.

482
00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:51.559
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean, I think it's it's one of those things.

483
00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:53.799
<v Speaker 5>I'm a gen xer, so again, I grew up in

484
00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:57.839
<v Speaker 5>that environment where you were interacting with other kids and adults,

485
00:27:57.880 --> 00:28:00.720
<v Speaker 5>and what we find as kids are today. It's a

486
00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:03.000
<v Speaker 5>real eye opening experience to be in a situation where

487
00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:04.880
<v Speaker 5>you're kind of thrown in with kids that you don't know,

488
00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:07.599
<v Speaker 5>with a mentor and you kind of work together on

489
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:13.039
<v Speaker 5>a project or an activity it's an origining experience and

490
00:28:13.079 --> 00:28:14.680
<v Speaker 5>a lot of kids who you know have been in

491
00:28:14.680 --> 00:28:17.599
<v Speaker 5>front of screens. I mean, technology has its place, but

492
00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:22.079
<v Speaker 5>it can't replace the interactivity that happens when you're having

493
00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:25.480
<v Speaker 5>conversations with other people and kind of discovering really had

494
00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:29.440
<v Speaker 5>to have that communication and problem solving. And so that's

495
00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:31.279
<v Speaker 5>one of the reasons why we do have the support

496
00:28:31.319 --> 00:28:33.559
<v Speaker 5>we do as an organization because you know, employers across

497
00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:35.119
<v Speaker 5>the country see that. I mean, those are the top

498
00:28:35.599 --> 00:28:38.680
<v Speaker 5>concerns that express when they have new employees is you know,

499
00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:41.200
<v Speaker 5>they don't get along with other people, They're not able

500
00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:44.039
<v Speaker 5>to communicate, they can't manage time, they have a hard

501
00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:47.440
<v Speaker 5>time processing things from a critical thinking standpoint, and so

502
00:28:47.559 --> 00:28:52.000
<v Speaker 5>programs like Junior Achievement, where there's that interactivity and that

503
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:56.000
<v Speaker 5>mentorship and that hands on learning experience are really important

504
00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:57.680
<v Speaker 5>for that and.

505
00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:00.519
<v Speaker 1>All great points. So give us the web side one

506
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:03.319
<v Speaker 1>more time. I guess it's pretty simple. Ja dot org.

507
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:05.279
<v Speaker 1>Is that it ja dot org.

508
00:29:05.319 --> 00:29:07.279
<v Speaker 5>Yes, you're going to find out more information on junior

509
00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:10.000
<v Speaker 5>Junior Achievement and take a child to work day and

510
00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:11.680
<v Speaker 5>beyond that's that's where to go.

511
00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:16.279
<v Speaker 1>Perfect, so Ed Groholski, Thanks so much for your time.

512
00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:19.519
<v Speaker 1>I hope that a lot of my listeners, even if

513
00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:22.519
<v Speaker 1>you're a grandparent, think about your grandchildren. If your parent,

514
00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:25.400
<v Speaker 1>think about your kids, get them involved in junior achievement

515
00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:29.039
<v Speaker 1>and other organizations like that. It lays a foundation for

516
00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:32.720
<v Speaker 1>a successful life. Edgar Groholski, thank you so much for

517
00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:34.359
<v Speaker 1>your time. I really enjoy talking with you.

518
00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:36.400
<v Speaker 5>Thanks for having me on. I appreciate it.

519
00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:38.759
<v Speaker 1>Very welcome. We get back. We're going to talk about

520
00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:43.079
<v Speaker 1>what's called the Great detachment. Seventy nine percent of employees

521
00:29:43.279 --> 00:29:46.440
<v Speaker 1>are disengaged at work. Going to talk with Dennis Holland,

522
00:29:46.680 --> 00:29:49.720
<v Speaker 1>an expert on employee engagement. Right after the break here

523
00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:50.559
<v Speaker 1>on Nightside.

524
00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:55.559
<v Speaker 3>You're on Night Side with Dan Ray. I'm WAZ Boston's

525
00:29:55.599 --> 00:29:58.079
<v Speaker 3>news Radio.

526
00:29:58.440 --> 00:30:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Some of us have heard the phrase the Great detachment.

527
00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:05.559
<v Speaker 1>The Great detachment is not about some couple of railroad

528
00:30:05.599 --> 00:30:09.079
<v Speaker 1>cards being separated. No, no, no, no. The seventy nine

529
00:30:09.119 --> 00:30:12.680
<v Speaker 1>percent of employees are disengaged at work. We're going to

530
00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:16.039
<v Speaker 1>talk with Dennis Holland, he's an expert on employee engagement.

531
00:30:16.640 --> 00:30:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Sounds to me, Dennis, like you're working in a field

532
00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:21.599
<v Speaker 1>that is diminishing. Even as we say.

533
00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:24.599
<v Speaker 6>Oh, well, thanks for having me on DAN.

534
00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:27.720
<v Speaker 1>You talk about a talk about a growth industry, I

535
00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:29.799
<v Speaker 1>don't know what the opposite of that is. So look,

536
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:32.079
<v Speaker 1>what is this based on. This is based on some

537
00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:34.799
<v Speaker 1>sort of a big survey that was done by a

538
00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:38.160
<v Speaker 1>group called My Perfect Resume. I'm still looking for my

539
00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:40.319
<v Speaker 1>perfect resume. If you find it, let me know, will you.

540
00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:44.119
<v Speaker 6>I will, I'm looking for mine too. But yes, it

541
00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:48.440
<v Speaker 6>is based on a survey, and the fact that seventy

542
00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:52.960
<v Speaker 6>nine percent of employees are disengaged only becomes really interesting

543
00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:57.160
<v Speaker 6>with the next statistic in that survey, and it says

544
00:30:57.160 --> 00:31:01.400
<v Speaker 6>that seventy six percent of employees say they're manager's engagement

545
00:31:01.519 --> 00:31:05.920
<v Speaker 6>affects their own. So it's the connection between the employee

546
00:31:05.920 --> 00:31:09.720
<v Speaker 6>and the manager that really matters here. That's the story.

547
00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:17.240
<v Speaker 6>Because companies have been focusing on engagement DAN for more

548
00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:20.160
<v Speaker 6>than a decade. So if we've been spending this much

549
00:31:20.160 --> 00:31:23.880
<v Speaker 6>time on it, why is it at record highs? And

550
00:31:24.160 --> 00:31:28.519
<v Speaker 6>the answer is simple, Well, we think it's simple. It's

551
00:31:28.599 --> 00:31:35.440
<v Speaker 6>because we're focusing on the wrong thing. Engagement is just

552
00:31:35.640 --> 00:31:40.880
<v Speaker 6>a symptom of a bigger problem. Employee turnover is a

553
00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:46.720
<v Speaker 6>symptom of a bigger problem. And when large research houses

554
00:31:46.799 --> 00:31:48.960
<v Speaker 6>like Gallup come out and tell us that more than

555
00:31:49.039 --> 00:31:52.680
<v Speaker 6>fifty percent of employees say they first of all disengage

556
00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:55.920
<v Speaker 6>and second of all leave a company because of their boss,

557
00:31:56.000 --> 00:32:00.119
<v Speaker 6>their relationship with their boss. What we're dealing with here

558
00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:04.400
<v Speaker 6>is not disengagement. It's a crisis of connection in the workplace.

559
00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:06.640
<v Speaker 6>Does that make me believe me?

560
00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:11.200
<v Speaker 1>I believe me. I understand what you're saying, and I

561
00:32:12.200 --> 00:32:16.839
<v Speaker 1>realize that when you break this down according to this study,

562
00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:23.680
<v Speaker 1>categorize some characteristics. They say the lack of motivation is

563
00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:27.519
<v Speaker 1>the result of I guess thirty three percent of the

564
00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:36.200
<v Speaker 1>people say that it's low pay. Another group say that

565
00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:41.599
<v Speaker 1>primary source of apathy, followed by misalignment and values. Not

566
00:32:41.640 --> 00:32:44.079
<v Speaker 1>exactly sure what that means. That's kind of a broad

567
00:32:44.359 --> 00:32:48.960
<v Speaker 1>but then unclear expectations. I get it. Let me tell you,

568
00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I've worked in my career in this business for many

569
00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:56.119
<v Speaker 1>and it's a great business to work in. I worked

570
00:32:56.160 --> 00:32:58.519
<v Speaker 1>in television and radio and now work in radio for

571
00:32:58.559 --> 00:33:01.079
<v Speaker 1>eighteen years, television of a third one years before that.

572
00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:06.079
<v Speaker 1>And the best bosses are the ones who know, you know,

573
00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:10.559
<v Speaker 1>set out some clear expectations. What they expect, they share

574
00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:15.519
<v Speaker 1>your values, pay, is always the lowest of the motivation

575
00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:19.440
<v Speaker 1>as far as I'm concerned. And the other thing that

576
00:33:19.559 --> 00:33:22.039
<v Speaker 1>is interesting that I have seen only in my career,

577
00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:29.119
<v Speaker 1>maybe other careers, but human resource individuals are disappearing, you know,

578
00:33:29.839 --> 00:33:34.920
<v Speaker 1>faster than the midwinter snow. I don't know what have

579
00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:38.000
<v Speaker 1>they ever done a survey as to what sort what

580
00:33:38.119 --> 00:33:41.799
<v Speaker 1>percentage of companies have to actually have a human resources

581
00:33:41.880 --> 00:33:46.319
<v Speaker 1>person on the ground as opposed to being somewhere, you know,

582
00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:48.759
<v Speaker 1>one hundred miles away or halfway across the country.

583
00:33:49.680 --> 00:33:52.039
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, that's that would be a great survey to have,

584
00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:56.920
<v Speaker 6>is what is the support group for employees and that

585
00:33:56.920 --> 00:34:00.359
<v Speaker 6>that is able to help make those connections. And so

586
00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:04.720
<v Speaker 6>you said, I'm the expert. You sound like an incredible

587
00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:09.719
<v Speaker 6>expert on it. And the biggest challenge right now, though, Dan,

588
00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:15.639
<v Speaker 6>is that we're working in this extremely complex environment. In

589
00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:20.480
<v Speaker 6>any team, there's a possibility there's five generations of people

590
00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:25.000
<v Speaker 6>of individuals working in a team. Some of those people

591
00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:27.199
<v Speaker 6>are working from home, some of those people are working

592
00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:30.000
<v Speaker 6>from their office, some of them do both. We've got

593
00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:33.760
<v Speaker 6>team members who are halfway across the globe, different cultures,

594
00:34:33.840 --> 00:34:38.760
<v Speaker 6>different languages, different values. We don't know how to bring

595
00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:44.719
<v Speaker 6>people together anymore. We've got this huge macroeconomic trend of

596
00:34:45.360 --> 00:34:55.559
<v Speaker 6>disconnection from a personal standpoint entirely, but isolation too. And

597
00:34:55.639 --> 00:34:58.400
<v Speaker 6>so when you've got when you're a leader in an

598
00:34:58.480 --> 00:35:04.280
<v Speaker 6>organization and you're d with this tremendous complexity, what's happening

599
00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:06.360
<v Speaker 6>is people don't even know how to talk to each

600
00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:12.119
<v Speaker 6>other anymore. They don't understand how to give somebody expectations,

601
00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:15.639
<v Speaker 6>how to talk to them about you're doing a great job,

602
00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:19.039
<v Speaker 6>I appreciate you, and you're bringing such great value to

603
00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:22.199
<v Speaker 6>the company, or I need you to I need to

604
00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:25.679
<v Speaker 6>really work with you to help you grow in this area.

605
00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:29.880
<v Speaker 6>We don't have those skills anymore because we are also

606
00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:35.440
<v Speaker 6>spread apart. The work situation, not to mention every all

607
00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:41.559
<v Speaker 6>the economic factors happening, is becoming extremely complex. We have

608
00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:46.599
<v Speaker 6>to find a way to bring people together better in

609
00:35:46.679 --> 00:35:51.280
<v Speaker 6>the workplace because dan as human beings, we were born

610
00:35:51.639 --> 00:35:57.199
<v Speaker 6>hardwired for the need for human connection. We all need

611
00:35:57.239 --> 00:36:04.920
<v Speaker 6>to be connected and our friends, our spouses and partners,

612
00:36:05.320 --> 00:36:07.320
<v Speaker 6>but we spend a third of our life at work.

613
00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:14.000
<v Speaker 6>How can we effectively run organizations when people are disconnected

614
00:36:14.039 --> 00:36:17.159
<v Speaker 6>from one another and they have no basis for building

615
00:36:17.199 --> 00:36:20.960
<v Speaker 6>that connection. That's why people are disengaged because they're checking out.

616
00:36:21.920 --> 00:36:25.519
<v Speaker 6>They're not seeing by anybody, they're not heard by anybody,

617
00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:29.360
<v Speaker 6>and they just they just resign while they're still in

618
00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:31.880
<v Speaker 6>their chairs. And that's what's happening to it.

619
00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:36.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's the That is the concept of detachment, what

620
00:36:36.920 --> 00:36:39.880
<v Speaker 1>I think is so important. And I have seen this

621
00:36:40.119 --> 00:36:44.320
<v Speaker 1>in myself with my own eyes. That you work in

622
00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:47.800
<v Speaker 1>a building, and I've worked in plenty of buildings, and

623
00:36:48.000 --> 00:36:50.159
<v Speaker 1>the people come in at night to clean the buildings,

624
00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:53.559
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of my colleagues would never even say

625
00:36:53.559 --> 00:36:58.079
<v Speaker 1>hello to those people. It would not even almost acknowledge

626
00:36:58.119 --> 00:37:02.760
<v Speaker 1>their existence. And I like to talk to the to

627
00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:06.039
<v Speaker 1>the cleaning crew and say, hey, how you doing. What's

628
00:37:06.039 --> 00:37:10.280
<v Speaker 1>your name, just to find out what because they're the

629
00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:13.519
<v Speaker 1>people who cleaned the who cleaned the restrooms, They're the

630
00:37:13.559 --> 00:37:17.280
<v Speaker 1>people who moped the floors and all of that. And

631
00:37:18.039 --> 00:37:22.159
<v Speaker 1>when I was in college one year that I cleaned

632
00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:27.599
<v Speaker 1>bathrooms one summer and I was twenty years old, and

633
00:37:27.639 --> 00:37:29.519
<v Speaker 1>no one would look at me, and I never forgot

634
00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:32.280
<v Speaker 1>how I felt walking around. I felt like Bill Murray

635
00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:36.840
<v Speaker 1>and Caddyshack actually, and people, people need to have that

636
00:37:36.880 --> 00:37:39.639
<v Speaker 1>connection no matter what they is. Oh, when the boss

637
00:37:39.639 --> 00:37:41.960
<v Speaker 1>walks in the room, everybody jumps up and says, oh, hi,

638
00:37:42.079 --> 00:37:44.199
<v Speaker 1>mister Jones, how are you today? Nice? And so you

639
00:37:44.280 --> 00:37:47.280
<v Speaker 1>mister Jones, don't you look lovely today? And that person

640
00:37:47.320 --> 00:37:51.119
<v Speaker 1>you know is the biggest phony in the company, but

641
00:37:51.199 --> 00:37:55.400
<v Speaker 1>they ignored you are I can write a book, I'm

642
00:37:55.440 --> 00:37:56.840
<v Speaker 1>telling you, maybe I will sell.

643
00:37:57.039 --> 00:38:02.119
<v Speaker 6>Well you should. Let's collaborate on it, because welcome we

644
00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:05.840
<v Speaker 6>might you know, take that, Take that metaphor or that analogy.

645
00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:08.119
<v Speaker 6>I'm sorry, I'm a little bit late. He take that

646
00:38:08.199 --> 00:38:12.000
<v Speaker 6>further and think about the fact that sometimes uh employees,

647
00:38:12.760 --> 00:38:15.840
<v Speaker 6>your your your peers who are on the team. Maybe

648
00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:18.559
<v Speaker 6>they only show up into the office two days a

649
00:38:18.599 --> 00:38:22.599
<v Speaker 6>week because they're hybrid, or maybe they sit on a

650
00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:25.840
<v Speaker 6>zoom call. It's that same effect of well, I don't

651
00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:28.519
<v Speaker 6>really see you very often, and I don't really know

652
00:38:28.639 --> 00:38:31.840
<v Speaker 6>who you are. It's the same thing. It's why people

653
00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:34.159
<v Speaker 6>don't talk to the to the cleaning crew.

654
00:38:34.159 --> 00:38:36.199
<v Speaker 1>It and I. They don't know this. Dennis. Let me,

655
00:38:36.440 --> 00:38:38.800
<v Speaker 1>we're running out of time, but let's do this. Maybe

656
00:38:38.840 --> 00:38:40.719
<v Speaker 1>I can have you back at some point in the

657
00:38:40.719 --> 00:38:43.039
<v Speaker 1>next couple of weeks and we'll do an hour on it,

658
00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:47.599
<v Speaker 1>and we'll give people a chance to complain anonymously about

659
00:38:47.639 --> 00:38:50.719
<v Speaker 1>the companies they work for and tell us we can

660
00:38:50.800 --> 00:38:52.559
<v Speaker 1>we can run our own little survey. Would you be

661
00:38:52.639 --> 00:38:52.960
<v Speaker 1>up for that?
