Our Leaders have Forgotten the Public | Off the cuff According to Craig

We have hundreds of civic leaders focused on preaching to the choir: themselves.  What they’ve forgotten is that it doesn’t matter how many great policies you have if no one knows or cares about them.

Get All the Facts First | Off the Cuff According to Craig

Conversations about what we should do about our city should start with facts, not policy.  Because we can’t craft good policy without a shared set of common, real facts.  We need to stop bending the truth in service of predisposed priorities, and instead, focus on what’s real, and have honest conversations about it.  The whole truth, and nothing but the whole truth.

Channel Your Anger | Off the Cuff According to Craig

It’s ok to be angry.  When we look around there’s a lot we can be frustrated about.  But it’s not ok to stay angry.  We all want a better world; we just need someone to help us all build it together.  Let’s meet each other in our anger, and find a way out of it to build something better.

You Can Be Yourself & Be Happy

James Ramsey, a self-described “prototypical millennial” joins us to talk about what it meant to discover himself growing up, a journey we can all identify with.  At some point, you have to let everyone else’s concept of “you" go, and make yourself happy at the end of the day.

We're Failing Our Vets | Off the Cuff According to Craig

We say we have a lot of support for veterans as a country and a city, but the truth is actually very different.  For the billions of dollars we pump into the “system," those programs are from the top down, and fail to properly support those who need it most. We spend billions training people to be weapons, and when they come home, we do nothing to help them untrain and get the help they really need, from us or each other.
