- 0:06Speaker 1: Level Sports. We're talking not just basketball, football, and baseball.
- 0:11Speaker 1: We've included every sport theory is, even if it hasn't
- 0:15Speaker 1: been labeled a sport yet, but it's on its way,
- 0:18Speaker 1: especially those that deserve to be in the Olympics and
- 0:20Speaker 1: they haven't been chosen yet. Oh yeah, we're talking about
- 0:22Speaker 1: it on All Level Sports on aerow dot net, ar
- 0:26Speaker 1: r Oe dot net. Enjoy the exploration. Hey, congratulations on
- 0:31Speaker 1: this book, actually, because it really does carry with it
- 0:33Speaker 1: a powerful message for all people. And I want listeners
- 0:37Speaker 1: to understand that that you can't go in there with
- 0:39Speaker 1: judgment until you sit there and look at yourself in
- 0:42Speaker 1: the mirror after the final page. And because there's just
- 0:45Speaker 1: so much going on inside this book that speaks to
- 0:48Speaker 1: every one of us.
- 0:52Speaker 2: Yeah, and thank you first of all, thank you for
- 0:54Speaker 2: having me on. And yeah, and it speaks to every
- 0:57Speaker 2: one of you.
- 0:57Speaker 3: But one of the things that I think is really important,
- 1:00Speaker 3: get this question all the time of hey, is this
- 1:03Speaker 3: just like a self help book when I need to
- 1:05Speaker 3: read it just to change my life?
- 1:07Speaker 2: And I think it's really important. Obviously not everyone would.
- 1:10Speaker 3: Know this right off the bat, but I've divided it
- 1:14Speaker 3: into three parts, one for individual and the framework for
- 1:18Speaker 3: that one for companies or corporations or nonprofits. It doesn't
- 1:21Speaker 3: have to be like Fortune five hundred company, you know,
- 1:24Speaker 3: it can be any type of company and when in
- 1:25Speaker 3: one on leadership, and all three of them have different
- 1:28Speaker 3: frameworks about how to put a plan in place and
- 1:32Speaker 3: using intention, which is kind of my big Intention and
- 1:36Speaker 3: emotional resilience are kind of my overall themes and the
- 1:40Speaker 3: reason what I mean about intention is changing your life
- 1:44Speaker 3: or changing your company's direction, or changing you know, people
- 1:48Speaker 3: that report to yous direction does not happen overnight, and
- 1:52Speaker 3: actually putting plans in place to make changes and to
- 1:57Speaker 3: make whether it's big changes for your life or big
- 1:59Speaker 3: changes for the company, or dealing with AI as I
- 2:01Speaker 3: keep saying, that's what I'm dealing with right now with
- 2:05Speaker 3: a lot of my corporate clients, is how do you
- 2:07Speaker 3: deal with that? Or how do you deal with the
- 2:08Speaker 3: new Trump administration. I'm in politics, so you know I
- 2:10Speaker 3: get that all the time.
- 2:11Speaker 2: CEOs, how do I do this? How do I do that?
- 2:14Speaker 3: And so putting actually plans in place and doing it,
- 2:17Speaker 3: like I said, with emotional resilience is kind of the
- 2:20Speaker 3: overall message.
- 2:21Speaker 1: I love the fact that you're talking about that word
- 2:23Speaker 1: intention because I call it projections. And the thing is
- 2:26Speaker 1: is that and if you sit down and you have
- 2:28Speaker 1: a building map or a building plan, things will start
- 2:31Speaker 1: to happen because you start to identify what your intention
- 2:34Speaker 1: was trying to unveil. And I mean, I mean the
- 2:37Speaker 1: fact that you speak openly about it when a lot
- 2:39Speaker 1: of leaders will sit there and say, I'll have somebody
- 2:42Speaker 1: come talk to you. And I'm so tired of that
- 2:44Speaker 1: when the bigger leaders don't want to take the time
- 2:47Speaker 1: to talk to you, when in fact, that's the opportunity
- 2:49Speaker 1: for the open door to be that inspiration to become
- 2:52Speaker 1: them one day.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:55Speaker 3: Absolutely, And I also think that your intentions can change
- 2:59Speaker 3: or make a little bit of a I call them
- 3:01Speaker 3: tiny pivots. But what happens if your intention is part
- 3:04Speaker 3: of the let's just say that in a company and
- 3:08Speaker 3: you think that you have a plan in place that
- 3:10Speaker 3: you have been working towards, then and all of a sudden,
- 3:13Speaker 3: you like don't like the line of business you're in
- 3:15Speaker 3: or whatever it is. We can make it up and
- 3:18Speaker 3: making those small changes and to get back on track
- 3:21Speaker 3: of your ultimate goal or realizing, hey, I'm never going
- 3:24Speaker 3: to be able to reach that goal, so let's.
- 3:25Speaker 2: Come up with a different goal.
- 3:27Speaker 3: And so it's not one way I talk about this
- 3:31Speaker 3: part all the time is I wanted to sit on
- 3:35Speaker 3: corporate boards, and so I started thinking about this probably
- 3:40Speaker 3: fifteen years ago. But I went back to business school
- 3:43Speaker 3: when I was forty. It took me three years to
- 3:47Speaker 3: get on my first corporate board. And along the way
- 3:51Speaker 3: I thought it was going to be easy. I'm like, oh,
- 3:53Speaker 3: I'm a girl. Yeah, people, companies need group goals right now,
- 3:57Speaker 3: women right now. You know, I have a public policy background,
- 4:00Speaker 3: but I so it took me with through various changes,
- 4:04Speaker 3: actually accomplishing that goal. But you know, it was just
- 4:09Speaker 3: laid out and I just followed the framework that I use.
- 4:12Speaker 3: So that's kind of the overall part of the book.
- 4:14Speaker 3: And also listen, I get it and people ask me
- 4:18Speaker 3: this all the time. Well, you know, I'm a mom,
- 4:19Speaker 3: I'm a single mom, X, Y and Z, And there's
- 4:23Speaker 3: plenty of situations where people can't do or make big
- 4:27Speaker 3: life changes to.
- 4:28Speaker 2: Not be stuck, so to speak. But making even small
- 4:33Speaker 2: little changes.
- 4:34Speaker 3: To improve where you are at that moment is better
- 4:38Speaker 3: than just throwing your hands up and saying I can't
- 4:42Speaker 3: do anything.
- 4:42Speaker 1: One of the things that I find very inspiring about
- 4:44Speaker 1: you is that you that you still remain every day.
- 4:47Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is is that I've
- 4:48Speaker 1: been on those company boards where I would be in
- 4:50Speaker 1: those meetings and I would sit there and think about, well,
- 4:53Speaker 1: what does it have to do with the regular person,
- 4:55Speaker 1: the regular employee. I can't do that board anymore because
- 4:59Speaker 1: I can get more or done by not being part
- 5:02Speaker 1: of the Jesus juice that they want us to drink,
- 5:05Speaker 1: by just going around and just using experience as the teacher.
- 5:08Speaker 1: And so I use a book such as The Power
- 5:10Speaker 1: Pivot in a way that says, Okay, don't go and
- 5:13Speaker 1: do the corporate talk to those that are and I'll
- 5:16Speaker 1: give you the better example. I'm a third degree black belt.
- 5:18Speaker 1: They always taught us, you're always a white belt. Well,
- 5:21Speaker 1: if I'm going to stop being a white belt at
- 5:23Speaker 1: the business that man I go into corporations, then it's like,
- 5:26Speaker 1: oh crap, I lost the war. So therefore it's like
- 5:29Speaker 1: I would rather be a white belt than on that board.
- 5:31Speaker 1: And so that's why I study your book because I
- 5:33Speaker 1: want to know. I want to know how wrong I
- 5:35Speaker 1: really am.
- 5:38Speaker 3: No, And I think that's a great example because I
- 5:41Speaker 3: also think, like for me at one point, there's been
- 5:44Speaker 3: a lot.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Have I accomplished a lot?
- 5:46Speaker 4: Yes?
- 5:47Speaker 3: Have I accomplished not a lot, absolutely the things that
- 5:49Speaker 3: I thought I wanted to do, kind of I think
- 5:51Speaker 3: in your point is so I always I've had my
- 5:54Speaker 3: own lobbying for a long time and through various versions,
- 5:59Speaker 3: but I I always thought I wanted to go work
- 6:01Speaker 3: for a corporation, and you know, I thought that was
- 6:03Speaker 3: the way to retire. I could stock in some of
- 6:05Speaker 3: these companies, you know, whatever you want to however you
- 6:07Speaker 3: want to talk about it. And I realized very quickly
- 6:11Speaker 3: that corporations were not going to most likely hire me
- 6:14Speaker 3: with my background because they were looking for people to
- 6:17Speaker 3: run their DC offices for example, that came from other
- 6:21Speaker 3: corporate offices that knew how corporations worked.
- 6:24Speaker 2: And I would say I probably worked on.
- 6:27Speaker 3: That goal for maybe on and off for three or
- 6:32Speaker 3: four years. Like obviously not every day, but I would
- 6:35Speaker 3: like talk to headhunters, talk to this, talk.
- 6:36Speaker 2: To that, and then I at one point and I keep.
- 6:39Speaker 3: Saying I'm fifty one now, but at one point I'm like, Okay,
- 6:42Speaker 3: I need to give this up because it's really going
- 6:43Speaker 3: to unless it's going to be a really unique situation.
- 6:46Speaker 3: I know, I'm not going to be able to go
- 6:48Speaker 3: work in a corporation at the level I would want
- 6:50Speaker 3: to with.
- 6:51Speaker 2: My background, and so, you know, so it's not.
- 6:55Speaker 3: All like roses and balloons that everything's successful. Also realized
- 7:00Speaker 3: saying that, yeah, we need to make some of these
- 7:02Speaker 3: some of your goals may not be reachable for certain reasons.
- 7:05Speaker 3: And by the way, if I would have gone to
- 7:07Speaker 3: a corporation, I probaly would have written this book. Probably
- 7:09Speaker 3: wouldn't beeniing to be like you know, I wouldn't have
- 7:11Speaker 3: been able to do other things that I'm now doing.
- 7:13Speaker 4: Please do not move. There's more with Ashley Davis coming
- 7:16Speaker 4: up next. The name of the book, the Power Pivot.
- 7:21Speaker 4: We are back with Ashley Davis to be in the
- 7:24Speaker 4: opening grounds of Homeland Security. And today my heart aches
- 7:28Speaker 4: because homeland security has been that one thing that we've
- 7:31Speaker 4: all invested so much trust into since nine to eleven,
- 7:34Speaker 4: and and then and and and then to then to
- 7:36Speaker 4: have you come out and talk about it today, it's
- 7:38Speaker 4: like it's almost it was meant to be.
- 7:39Speaker 1: It's like saying, oh, by the way, guys, you don't
- 7:42Speaker 1: have to read what you're seeing in the paper today.
- 7:44Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and go back to the roots of
- 7:45Speaker 1: Homeland Security and let's live off that. And and and
- 7:48Speaker 1: I love that that you're being the player and you're
- 7:50Speaker 1: and you're letting us know what it was like to
- 7:52Speaker 1: build this, because hey, I'm gonna be honest with you.
- 7:55Speaker 1: I was on I was a clear channel before this
- 7:57Speaker 1: thing called iHeartRadio.
- 7:59Speaker 4: And what is that? I don't know. Hold on, let's
- 8:02Speaker 4: go forward with it. Let's see where it takes us.
- 8:06Speaker 2: No, absolutely, and listen.
- 8:08Speaker 3: I first of all, I can't believe it's been twenty
- 8:10Speaker 3: five years also now, But so the reason that Homeland
- 8:18Speaker 3: was created, not just the Office of Homeland Security right
- 8:20Speaker 3: after nine eleven, which is where I was employee number one,
- 8:23Speaker 3: and then the Department two and a half years later
- 8:25Speaker 3: by the Congress, was because we had all these different
- 8:29Speaker 3: agencies that weren't speaking to each other. And then, by
- 8:32Speaker 3: the way, they all definitely weren't speaking to the state
- 8:35Speaker 3: and local folks.
- 8:36Speaker 2: And so.
- 8:38Speaker 3: Combining the twenty six agencies and over two hundred thousand
- 8:41Speaker 3: employees was the goal.
- 8:43Speaker 2: Is it a huge bureaucracy? Absolutely?
- 8:45Speaker 3: Has it been supported and been in existence for twenty
- 8:49Speaker 3: five years and we have not had an attack?
- 8:52Speaker 2: Yes? So is it working and yes? But can it
- 8:56Speaker 2: be improved? Absolutely yes?
- 8:57Speaker 3: And so I think that we have to not use
- 9:02Speaker 3: the political pendulum of and I say this on both
- 9:06Speaker 3: sides of the aisle that for example, with the DHS
- 9:10Speaker 3: funding right now, we cannot use the Department of Homeland Security.
- 9:14Speaker 3: And I don't even want to say during a time
- 9:15Speaker 3: because of what's happening in the Middle East. I just
- 9:17Speaker 3: want to say in general, like a lot of people
- 9:20Speaker 3: do not like American or our value system because of
- 9:23Speaker 3: the freedom that we have, right and so we have
- 9:27Speaker 3: to make sure that we're not using the Department of
- 9:30Speaker 3: Homeland Security as a as a political whipping board so to.
- 9:33Speaker 2: Speak, you know, and that and so and also.
- 9:35Speaker 3: I am one hundred percent of believer that we need
- 9:38Speaker 3: true reform to border policy because we can't go back
- 9:42Speaker 3: and forth to you know, the reason that they managed
- 9:46Speaker 3: the Biden administration had the borders open for those four
- 9:49Speaker 3: years is because of the build the Wall rhetoric. If
- 9:52Speaker 3: you want to call it that the Trump used for
- 9:55Speaker 3: the first four years, and so there's these and then
- 9:58Speaker 3: we came back and then we had the you know,
- 10:00Speaker 3: we close the border, which, by the way, I do
- 10:03Speaker 3: think that we needed to close the border, but alsodden,
- 10:06Speaker 3: we had the issues that in Minnesota that were unfortunate
- 10:10Speaker 3: with ice that we needed to control. And so I'm
- 10:13Speaker 3: hoping I really think that Mark Wayne Mullin, who I've
- 10:16Speaker 3: known for years, he is I think it's going to
- 10:20Speaker 3: be a less chaotic at the Department. I think he
- 10:24Speaker 3: will have a steady hand. I think he'll keep us
- 10:26Speaker 3: head down. It's not the same kind of there won't
- 10:31Speaker 3: be the same attention seeking, I don't think.
- 10:33Speaker 2: And I think that hopefully the Department.
- 10:35Speaker 3: Listen, we haven't we didn't talk about the Department of
- 10:37Speaker 3: Homeland Security for like fifteen years.
- 10:38Speaker 2: Wow, which is a good thing, right.
- 10:41Speaker 3: I Mean, it's only come back because of really the
- 10:44Speaker 3: last administration and now because of the border that we're
- 10:47Speaker 3: talking about it, and so it is good timing for
- 10:51Speaker 3: me selfishly. But I do think that we need to
- 10:55Speaker 3: make sure that our eyes on the ball, which is,
- 10:58Speaker 3: at the end of the day, keeping our country safe.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Yeah, but see what What I find inspiring about homeland
- 11:02Speaker 1: security is the fact that you know, none of us
- 11:04Speaker 1: like change, but you guys have to deal with it
- 11:07Speaker 1: all the time. And it's almost like we're throwing it
- 11:09Speaker 1: onto you because you guys are trained to take on change.
- 11:13Speaker 1: And God, I just want to pray for you all
- 11:14Speaker 1: the time, because I don't know how you deal with change.
- 11:17Speaker 1: And did you ever meet anybody who looked at you
- 11:19Speaker 1: and said, if you don't like change, there's the door,
- 11:21Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you had to pivot again.
- 11:23Speaker 1: It's like, oh God, what am I going to do?
- 11:24Speaker 1: There's more change on the way.
- 11:27Speaker 3: Right absolutely, And you know what, something that I think
- 11:32Speaker 3: I think we should acknowledge and of all of our
- 11:35Speaker 3: not only our military but also all the border security agents,
- 11:40Speaker 3: even though you know there's issues that are that happened,
- 11:44Speaker 3: like I said with Minnesota that people are not happy about,
- 11:47Speaker 3: but these are public servants. These are people that protect
- 11:50Speaker 3: our country, and I think that we need to remember that.
- 11:55Speaker 3: But also one of the things that I think that
- 11:57Speaker 3: our country and our military Department of War is going
- 12:01Speaker 3: to have to make major pivots, so to speak, is
- 12:06Speaker 3: the fact that what we recognized and learned from what
- 12:10Speaker 3: happened in Iran is the major changes in our warfare
- 12:16Speaker 3: that we aren't going back lessen. We still need the missiles,
- 12:20Speaker 3: we still need the big that we need, the need
- 12:22Speaker 3: the biggest bunker busters and things like that. But really
- 12:27Speaker 3: what we learned as a country, in my opinion, is
- 12:30Speaker 3: that the drone warfare, that small robotic warfare is the.
- 12:35Speaker 2: Way of the future.
- 12:36Speaker 3: And I know that the Department of War was investing
- 12:40Speaker 3: in that, but I think it's probably going to expedite it.
- 12:43Speaker 1: How are you reacting to the younger generation who has
- 12:45Speaker 1: who has shown absolutely no emotion to this. And yet
- 12:49Speaker 1: when this did take place, when I was in the
- 12:51Speaker 1: eleventh grade in Billings, Montana, when when the fifty two
- 12:54Speaker 1: hostages were taken, I didn't know that forty seven years
- 12:58Speaker 1: later that we would be in a situation like this
- 13:00Speaker 1: that would involve homeland security, would involve everybody around the world.
- 13:04Speaker 1: I mean, and it's like, I mean, how can we
- 13:06Speaker 1: get this message to the younger generation as to what
- 13:08Speaker 1: you're doing and your inner strength, because you've got grace,
- 13:11Speaker 1: you've got growth, you've got grit. Okay, Now, how can
- 13:14Speaker 1: we give that to the people that are going to
- 13:15Speaker 1: follow us because and that's what I love about this book,
- 13:18Speaker 1: you would at least plant it.
- 13:22Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, my son's seventeen, and I actually
- 13:25Speaker 3: find listen, I speak all the time about the fact
- 13:30Speaker 3: that the amount of information we get is so overwhelming
- 13:34Speaker 3: that how does our brain.
- 13:35Speaker 2: Actually, you're right correct, all So.
- 13:38Speaker 3: When you were in eleventh grade, you were watching one
- 13:40Speaker 3: of three stations. That's it, what's in those hostages? So
- 13:44Speaker 3: now we're you'd be getting that information by the minute.
- 13:47Speaker 3: And by the way, the next minute, you're going to
- 13:49Speaker 3: see someone bombing somebody in some other part of the world. Right,
- 13:52Speaker 3: We're just the amount of information desensitizes us. I think
- 13:57Speaker 3: one of the things that I find fascinating my son
- 13:59Speaker 3: is a is a you know, I'm a Pennsylvania girl.
- 14:02Speaker 3: I grew up a small town Pennsylvania outside of Butler,
- 14:04Speaker 3: Pennsylvania actually where the.
- 14:06Speaker 2: President was Wow.
- 14:07Speaker 3: But my son's a true Washingtonian, like I was moving
- 14:10Speaker 3: to Washington for a year and it's been twenty five years. So,
- 14:14Speaker 3: but he's seventeen, and I have to say watching him
- 14:18Speaker 3: and when we don't, we don't.
- 14:20Speaker 2: I do not put my politics on him.
- 14:22Speaker 3: I do not do this generation right now, the pendulum
- 14:26Speaker 3: has swung a little bit back. So he was fourth fifth,
- 14:30Speaker 3: sixth grade during signed to some of the d I stuff,
- 14:34Speaker 3: and so he was so.
- 14:37Speaker 2: Beat down as.
- 14:38Speaker 3: A as a as a like as a white male,
- 14:41Speaker 3: like you know, nothing they can do, could could was right.
- 14:46Speaker 2: And you know they were the evil ones.
- 14:49Speaker 3: And I have to say now that kind of it's
- 14:51Speaker 3: gone back a little bit more into the middle here
- 14:55Speaker 3: is that. And I didn't realize this, but he's very
- 15:00Speaker 3: patriotic to our country.
- 15:03Speaker 2: He's very.
- 15:05Speaker 3: You know for him watching all this information on like
- 15:09Speaker 3: what the military capable of doing, like he he actually
- 15:14Speaker 3: is very proud of our United States military, and very
- 15:18Speaker 3: proud of our law enforcement, and very proud of being an American,
- 15:21Speaker 3: which I find fascinating because I feel like there was
- 15:24Speaker 3: such a time period of it was so bad, you know,
- 15:28Speaker 3: that we were doing X, Y and Z, and so
- 15:30Speaker 3: I do think that these kids have resilience in different
- 15:33Speaker 3: ways and do get they're probably better off than we are.
- 15:37Speaker 2: That they realize that they are.
- 15:41Speaker 3: Get tired of people telling them one way or the
- 15:44Speaker 3: other they're wrong.
- 15:45Speaker 1: I had to do some research on power as well
- 15:48Speaker 1: as pivot, and one of the things that I came across,
- 15:50Speaker 1: and I'm very excited to share this with you. Is
- 15:52Speaker 1: that is that power and pivot. It was identified by
- 15:55Speaker 1: two words, and the identity is, of course power, and
- 15:58Speaker 1: the other one is having fear of reality. So on
- 16:01Speaker 1: nine to eleven, what did you fear? Did you put
- 16:04Speaker 1: people first? Or was it a fear of if I
- 16:07Speaker 1: don't turn and help somebody, then I then something very
- 16:11Speaker 1: valuable will be lost. Because it's like we all know
- 16:14Speaker 1: of the story. I hope to God even though we're
- 16:16Speaker 1: on the twenty fifth anniversary and nobody's talking about it,
- 16:18Speaker 1: we should be talking about.
- 16:19Speaker 4: Nine to eleven.
- 16:20Speaker 1: But for you to turn around and with those firefighters
- 16:23Speaker 1: and with those other first responders, you know, Steven Ferdick says,
- 16:27Speaker 1: you got to face the chariots, you got to face
- 16:29Speaker 1: the fire, and that's exactly what you did.
