09/19/07--19:00: Old School American: Our Invisible Voice - Sep 20,2007 (chan 2966596)

I welcome everyone to my show. This Monday I did a interview with Fox News Network. The whole segment was to go 10 minutes, it only went 2 because of breaking news. I want to explain what I meant in the interview -- I back the government, military, and contractors 100%. I am a proud American and believe in what we are doing in Iraq. I will continue the discussing about contracting and the recent news of Blackwater & sercuity.


12/18/07--10:30: Old School American: Texas Gods - Why Are They Untouchable? - Dec 18,2007 (chan 2966596)

In the ever unpopular war, Operation Iraqi Freedom; why is this corporate monster allowed to break so many laws and rules? Our government and the general public really have been left out in the dark when it comes to many aspects of this Empire... I will discuss some of historical facts, observations, and issues when talking about the famous, Halliburton Group!


03/27/08--10:30: Old School American: Corporate Monsters Part 5 - Mar 27,2008 (chan 2966596)

Breaking News about my fight with corporate monsters. How can Halliburton/KBR keeping dodging prosecution? There are many breaking stories this week about how the largest contractor in Iraq continues to side-step their obligations to its own employees, to our government, to our military, and to every U.S. Tax Paying Citizen. Greedy & Unethical corporations like KBR must be stopped. Hear what is written in the 1995 Military Law Review about the DBA, DOL, and the Employer with regards to honoring


09/29/08--07:00: RFP: Work Ethic Demonstrated - Sep 29,2008 (chan 2966596)

Yes, “RFP” means what you think it means if you’ve had any experience with government contracts—whether federal, state, local, or otherwise. Government agencies among other groups send RFPs (Requests for Proposals) to vendors, contractors, and other entities for upcoming work and projects for which they need competitive bids. Responders develop proposals, based on criteria identified within the RFPs, for how they plan to fulfill the work requirements and how much they will charge for doing so. Anyone who experiences this process knows how resource-intensive it can be, how disappointing it is to not be chosen to perform the work after expending resources to respond, and how exhilarating it is to win a contract. In this program Sylvia provides pointers to position you to more-positively respond—for profitable results—to proposals based on her business experiences (both successful and otherwise).


08/12/09--09:30: Is Smarter Spending in Government an Oxymoronic Illusion? - Aug 12,2009 (chan 2966596)

In a previous segment I talked about a March 4th, 2009 speech President Barack Obama delivered regarding his commitment to “changing how government contracts are awarded and who can get them.” The President went on to say that “The move will make the process more competitive and will save taxpayers up to $40 billion” per year. Specifically the U.S. President emphasized that “reforming our broken system of government contracting,” which includes; massive cost overruns, contracts being awarded without competition, contractors overseeing other contractors, outright fraud and, the absence of oversight and accountability” are the targeted problem areas upon which his new initiative will focus. Response to the President's plan ranged from skepticism in terms of being a realistic and achievable goal, to outright cynicism regarding possible motives for pursuing such a plan, and just a dash of optimistic pessimism. Suffice to say, and against such a backdrop of underwhelmed expectation, if we faced life's challenges in similar fashion I doubt that any of us would ever get out of bed in the morning. Don't get me wrong, the above cauldron of discontented disbelief in the virtue and intelligence of our public institutions has at times, been well earned. In the realms of supply chain, the VHA's $650 million write off odysseys with Oracle and JD Edwards is enough to make anyone throw in the proverbial towel. For this reason alone, Coupa's decision to offer all government agencies free use of their innovative technology as a means of improving spend may conjure up images of Eddie the Eagle whose heroic feats on the ski jump at the 1988 Winter Olympics while not earning him medals did inspire empathetic fan support. So why do it? Joining me to review the program in greater detail, including the reasoning behind its creation as well as what Coupa hopes to achieve by its introduction, is the company's CEO Rob Bernshtyn.


09/03/09--12:00: Are Government Contractors Being Treated Unfairly? - Sep 03,2009 (chan 2966596)

2 former Government Contractors discussing the treatment they received while working on a military base.


10/01/09--09:30: Government Contracting and Social Media: Strange Bedfellows? - Oct 01,2009 (chan 2966596)

On May 20th, 2008 mySBX, Inc., announced that it had launched mySBX.com, a first of its kind destination portal to help Government contractors connect, collaborate and share opportunities to drive businesses growth. Built specifically to meet the varied demands and needs of small government contractors, mySBX.com is a destination portal that will enable users to grow their businesses, find new opportunities and access content built specifically for government contractors. Enabled by this innovative collaborative platform, government contractors are able to partner, share information, exchange billable opportunities and access valuable insight into best-of-breed vendors and services. Not that long ago, we aired a two-part series on Virginia’s JLARC Review of the Commonwealth’s eVA initiative. While there were certainly areas in which improvements can and will likely be made, generally speaking Virginia’s eVA is as I have always said, a model that other governments should follow when structuring their own procurement policies and initiatives. Especially since 85 percent of all public sector programs fail to achieve the expected results usually costing taxpayers 10s and sometimes 100s of millions of dollars. So when I read the above press release from Reston, Virginia-based mySBX.com, I knew I had to learn more about this social media platform. A platform which according to co-founder Jeff White, will change the way we all work forever by bringing together innovative technologies, workplace trend analysis, and an ability to leverage relational networks. Joining me on today’s program is Jeff White, who will expand on the unique elements of the mySBX model and explain how more than a year after its launch mySBX.com is doing in terms of leaving its indelible imprint on public sector contracting.

01/27/10--12:00: Government In-sourcing: The collateral impact to Small Business - Jan 27,2010 (chan 2966596)

One Voice... www.VSBAOnline.com | Date / Time: 01/27/2010 2:00 PM CST | 3:00 PM EST Call-in Number: (347) 989-0759 Hosted & Produced By: Rudy Sutherland | in this episode, we will discuss the practice of In-sourcing by the Federal government. In-sourcing is going to have an enormous impact on small businesses including major impacts to some of the smallest SB categories. The conversion of contractor positions to civil servant positions will take place in earnest over the next two to three years, as current contracts expire. The Obama administration has made it clear that the federal government needs to reevaluate when it is appropriate to outsource and use contractors - in the name of job creation; but is the collateral impact to Small Business an acceptable unintended consequence - at a time when Small Business is expected to grow our Economy out of the current recession? This show will provide the facts, you be the judge.

Get an hour's worth of common sense about the economy, the markets, Wall St. and Main St. with Larry Doyle, a Wall St. veteran and NoQuarter USA blog's financial contributor. Tonight, Larry welcomes Michael Smallberg from the Project on Government Oversight (POGO). What do we know about POGO? The Project On Government Oversight is an independent, nonprofit that investigates and exposes corruption and other misconduct in order to achieve a more effective, accountable, open, and ethical federal government. Throughout its history, POGO’s work has been applauded by Members of Congress from both sides of the aisle, federal workers and whistleblowers, other nonprofits, and the media. As an investigator, Mr. Smallberg is currently examining the government’s bailout programs, with a focus on excessive secrecy, a lack of accountability for the firms receiving government assistance, and conflicts of interest among bailout contractors. He is also investigating the government’s financial regulatory system and formulating recommendations that would make regulators such as the Securities and Exchange Commission more independent and accountable. Join Larry tonight for this riveting discussion. And don't forget . . . if you need some direction navigating the economic landscape, please visit Larry Doyle's blog, Sense on Cents.


03/19/10--12:00: Basics Part II: Financing your 8(a) business in a Tough Economic Climate - Mar 19,2010 (chan 2966596)

One Voice... www.VSBAOnline.com | Call-in No. (347)994-1602 | 2:00 PM CST | 3:00 PM EST | Hosted & Produced By: Rudy Sutherland | Do you need working capital to perform on government contracts? It has always been tough for small businesses to obtain traditional bank financing. In this tight market, it’s even tougher. Unfortunately, a number of government contractors get into trouble or go out of business because they don’t realize there is another option when the banks say no. Know your options when you need to make payroll and pay vendors while waiting for the government or prime contractor to pay. Our guest for this show is Ms. Amy J. Horn, Executive Vice President, Federal National Payables, Inc.


04/12/10--12:00: Seven Steps to Success: Jump Start Government Contract Series (Part 5) - Apr 12,2010 (chan 2966596)

Due to the very large nature of many public sector contracts, it is very common for commercial organizations to decide to bid on a joint basis. Teaming agreements are used when companies wish to team together to bid on a procurement opportunity. Very often teaming up will be essential, when customers have prepared a tender covering their requirements and expect the bidder to meet those requirements in full. The most compliant bid has the greatest chance of success and in complex projects the scope of products and services will fall across the capabilities of a number of different suppliers. But the customer would much prefer a "one-stop shop" when it comes to dealing with the suppliers and managing the project. In the bid response, it would like to see one joint solution that fulfills the needs of the entire project. Typically, but not always, a larger organization will be the "prime-contractor" who is actually bidding for the work, supported by one or more "sub-contractors" providing specific products or expertise. Both the prime-contractor and the sub-contractor are potentially at risk if this relationship is not made contractually binding before any tender is submitted. (Note: Thanks to Waterfront Solicitors LLP for the above text). In this the fifth of our special seven part series, I am once again joined by Judy Bradt who is an expert author, speaker and consultant who will provide invaluable insight into on how companies can capitalize on the emerging opportunities in the US public sector. In today's segment we will discuss the finer points of teaming to pursue and win public sector business. If you have been following this series, you already know that Judy has helped more than 6,000 clients win in excess of $300 million US in government contracts. Suffice to say, this will be another insightful 60-minutes.

12/24/10--05:30: EMPA, Fair Playing Field and Independent Contractors - Dec 24,2010 (chan 2966596)

According to the Government Accountability Office, the United States government is losing billions in tax revenues each year as a result of employees being classified as independent contractors. Many think that this lost revenue is the driving force behind a wave of federal legislation that will discourage employers from classifying employees as independent contractors. It's important for employers to stay up-to-date on this pending legislation, and to start taking proactive steps to prepare. In this installment of The Proactive Employer podcast, we'll be discussing the Employee Misclassification Act, the Fair Playing Field Act of 2010, and providing strategies employers can use to ensure that they are properly classifying their employees and independent contractors.


01/11/11--09:30: Selling to the Government: Competing in the World's Largest Market - Jan 11,2011 (chan 2966596)

On the PI Window on Business’ second show back in April 2009 I welcomed along with McEvoy Galbraeth and Anne Phillips, Stephen Bauld who at the time was Vice President for the Ontario General Contractors Association and author of the books “Leadership Or The Lack Thereof” and “The Municipal Procurement Handbook (two editions).” Of the many great topics that we covered during the 30 minute segment, what still stands out is Stephen’s comment regarding his Leadership book. Specifically that he had originally anticipated that sales would likely be confined to “his family and a few close friends.” Well he did a little bit better than that as the book became a strong seller, something he had attributed to the paucity of procurement books on the market at the time. Of course notwithstanding a limited selection in the category, Stephen’s book did well because it was well researched and equally well written. Jump ahead to 2011, and I am excited to say that the availability of books regarding procurement has kept pace with the market’s recognition that purchasing is not simply an adjunct of finance, but a critical strategic tool for both private and public sector entities. This is especially true in the public sector, where purchasing is also being viewed as an economic driver as much as it is a means by which to support the government’s ability to deliver services to the public. One of these new books, which I have referred to as being an essential must read bookend for any book shelf . . . in short, if you do not have these two books, then you have a gaping hole in your library, is Mark Amtowers “Selling To The Government (What It Takes To Compete And Win In The World’s Largest Market).” Joining me this afternoon to talk about his book and why its release coincides with the monumental shift in how governments do business is Mark Amtower.


02/16/11--12:00: Your Triple Bottom Line - Feb 16,2011 (chan 2966596)

Interview with Jobenomics author Chuck Vollmer Jobenomics deals with the economics of job, wealth and revenue creation—the substance of which powers the US economy, sustains the American way of life, and secures US national sovereignty. Jobenomics, the book, focuses on the employed and jobs creation—the segment of our society that represents America’s economic engine. Today, this engine has stalled. The decade of the 2000s lost one million American jobs, whereas the previous three decades averaged approximately 20 million new jobs per decade. If the next decade, the 2010s, generates only marginal jobs growth, the US economy could collapse under the weight of US debt and obligations. The US has several hundred trillions of dollars worth of debt, which it will not be able to pay, if its workforce does not grow. In addition to debt, government overhead continues to explode. Out of a total population of 309 million Americans, there are 178 million non-workers, 35 million government employees and contractors, and 96 million in the private sector labor force. This equates to 1 government worker for every 3 workers in the private sector. In the non-worker group, there are approximately 300 million payments of welfare, from Social Security to food stamps. The bottom line is that too few are supporting too many and carrying too large of a debt load. Consequently, the jobenomics team is launching a national 20 by 20 campaign to create 20 million new US private sector jobs by 2020. 20 by 20 includes initiatives for government, large business, small and self-employed businesses, foreign investment in US businesses, and major emerging technology initiatives. Through jobenomics, Americans will have common cause and resources to create jobs in order to build a more prosperous future.

Do that and see how long the shut down lasts! On some subjects you should be conservative. Some you should be liberal. And finally on some you should be progressive. Make politicians work for your vote and nobody gets a free pass. Why buy a cow if the milk is free? Well some people are saying just pull that cow on up! Let Nothing or Nobody take you for granted.

03/30/11--15:30: Reasons Companies Are Not Hiring? - Mar 30,2011 (chan 2966596)

Uncertainty? Too High Taxes? Work is slow? Fully Staffed, Untrained Applicants, etc. Reasons many business is not hiring? Those reasons mean nothing. Give them a reason to hire you. America prospers because workers sign on and gives an honest days work for an honest days pay. Businesses receiving Government contracts (and there are plenty), should be mandated to hire. Tell business managers you will work to make money for the business. Ask for the chance to prove yourself.

07/09/11--10:00: Economic Impact of Construction in California - Jul 09,2011 (chan 2966596)

Analysis of the latest U.S. Census Bureau data shows the design, construction and maintenance of transportation infrastructure supports the equivalent of 354,590 full-time jobs in California. These employees earn a total annual payroll of $18.6 billion and contribute an estimated $1.6 billion in state and federal payroll tax revenue. The above data tells us that a strong construction industry is one vital key to economic recovery. Please join me and my special guest Emily Cohen Director of Government Relations for the Engineering & Utilities Contractors Association in San Francisco on Saturday, July 9, 2011 at 10 am pst as we dig into the issues facing the construction industry and the State of California.
