    Plastics Industry CEO Matt Seaholm on American Manufacturing & The Future of Recycling | 13th & Park

    Send us Fan Mail Matt Seaholm, President and CEO of the Plastics Industry Association, joins Adam Goodman on 13th and Park for a wide-ranging conversation on what the plastics industry actually makes, how it powers American manufacturing, and what the future of recycling looks like in the United States. Seaholm explains why plastics are far more than bags and bottles, touching everything from automotive components and semiconductors to Legos and garden sheds. He makes the case that plastics are the pillar of American manufacturing because the country controls its own feedstock, giving it a unique advantage in a global supply chain. He also walks through what actually happens inside a plastics facility, breaking down the molding and extrusion processes that turn raw pellets into everyday products. The conversation shifts to Washington, where Seaholm outlines four key pieces of legislation his association is pushing: the RMAA, the PACK Act, the RIAA, and the Stewart Act. He focuses on the PACK Act and RMAA as the most urgent priorities, arguing that a patchwork of conflicting state-level definitions for terms like recyclable and compostable is creating confusion for manufacturers and consumers alike. Federal standards, he argues, are the only path to a functioning national recycling system. Seaholm also reflects on what drew him to the industry, sharing a story from a plant tour in rural Pennsylvania that shifted his understanding of who the plastics workforce really is. He closes with a forward-looking view on chemical recycling, circularity, and the shared responsibility between industry, policymakers, and consumers to keep plastic in the system and out of the environment.

    HereNOW Help CEO Bryan Gray on Closing the Gap Between Veterans and Mental Health Care | 13th & Park

    Send us Fan Mail Bryan Gray, CEO and co-founder of HereNOW Health, joins Adam Goodman on 13th and Park to discuss one of the most urgent and underreported crises in America: veteran mental health. With an average of 17 veterans dying by suicide every single day, and 61 percent of those who died by suicide in 2023 having had no VA healthcare contact in their final years, Gray explains why the traditional system is falling short and how HereNOW Health was built to fill that gap with a single, AI-driven platform offering 24/7 clinician access, peer support, daily check-ins, risk scoring, and personalized treatment tools. Gray traces his path to mental health technology through two formative experiences: reading Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People in high school, and watching a brilliant Carnegie Mellon classmate unravel emotionally during a high-stakes NVIDIA job interview. Those moments crystallized for him the difference between IQ and emotional intelligence, and set the direction of his career. He shares the deeply personal story of co-founder Billy Gerlach, whose brother died of a drug overdose weeks after the company was incorporated in 2019, and who himself passed away in 2023 after a fentanyl-laced Xanax. Billy's family remains central to the company's leadership and mission. Gray walks through how HereNOW Health works in practice: a modular, dynamic platform that adapts to each user's individual needs, whether they need self-care tools, peer support, or clinical intervention. He explains the two structural barriers that have historically kept veterans from seeking help, fear of losing flight status in the military and fear of losing disability benefits as a veteran, and how HereNOW Health's anonymized access and benefit-neutral model are designed to remove both. The company launched its first deployment at Tinker Air Force Base and has since expanded through NASDVA partnerships to Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, New York, and a growing list of states and territories. The conversation closes with a story Gray calls his most defining: a chance encounter in a hospital waiting room with a Holocaust survivor who walked from Auschwitz to England and married the man beside her four days after arriving in America. She had not spoken German in decades. Gray listened. She found peace. It is that moment, he says, that taught him the true power of active listening and why 95 percent of counseling is simply being present for someone who needs to be heard.

    World Bank's Ajay Banga on solving the World's Incoming Jobs Crisis | 13th and Park

    Send us Fan Mail World Bank Group President and former Mastercard CEO Ajay Banga joins Adam Goodman on a special edition of 13th and Park to confront one of the defining challenges of our time: over the next 10 to 15 years, 1.2 billion young people in emerging economies will reach working age, but only about 420 million new jobs are projected to exist for them. Banga lays out what that gap means for global stability, and why getting it right could make Africa for the next generation what Asia has been for the last 40 years. Getting it wrong, he warns, means social unrest and mass migration on a scale that will touch every corner of the world. Banga explains how the World Bank is rethinking its role as a bridge between public institutions and private capital. Drawing on his private sector career at Citibank, Nestlé, Pepsi, and Mastercard, he makes the case that governments enable but the private sector creates jobs, and that the only way to close the gap is to get private capital off the sidelines. He walks through the five barriers holding back investment in emerging markets, from regulatory uncertainty and currency risk to the absence of a proper asset class for pension funds, and describes how the Bank's Private Sector Lab, led by figures like Larry Fink of BlackRock, is working to clear each one. A concrete example: the World Bank's work with Rio Tinto in Argentina to unlock lithium mining, processing jobs, and the infrastructure needed to make it viable. The conversation turns personal as Banga reflects on growing up in India, where poverty was visible on every street corner, and what drew him to a role measured not by quarterly earnings but by how many people gain access to electricity, clean water, skilled work, and a fair shot. He shares the audacious targets he has set across electrification, agriculture, healthcare, and women's access to capital, and explains why he would still declare victory at 250 million people reached if the original goal was 300 and the baseline was 100. At the heart of his message is a simple conviction: a job is not just income. It is dignity. And dignity, he argues, is what made this country great and what the rest of the world deserves a chance at too.

    Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp on Building the Road to Space and Why Earth Needs It | 13th and Park

    Send us Fan Mail Dave Limp, CEO of Blue Origin, joins Adam Goodman on 13th and Park for a wide-ranging conversation about the mission to make humanity a multi-planetary species and what it actually takes to build the infrastructure for that future. Limp traces the arc from his childhood fascination with the Apollo program and backyard model rockets to leading one of the most ambitious aerospace companies in the world, describing his move from a 30-year career scaling consumer technology at Amazon as a deliberate choice to spend his final professional chapter on something truly missionary. Limp breaks down the three pillars Blue Origin is pursuing to drive down the cost of reaching space by orders of magnitude: reusability, high-volume manufacturing, and radical vertical integration of the supply chain. He explains how building factories capable of producing hundreds of rockets per year requires a fundamentally different design philosophy, and why owning everything from material science to the foundry is not just an operational decision but a way to bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States. The conversation covers Blue Origin's vision of lunar permanence, the company's self-funded lunar lander program, and what Limp calls the "amazing gift" of the Moon as a launching pad to the rest of the solar system. He also walks through Project Sunrise, Blue Origin's orbital data center initiative, as an early and concrete example of the broader mission to move polluting heavy industry off Earth entirely. Limp is candid about the Launch Complex 36 anomaly, the emotional all-hands that followed, and how Jeff Bezos's words that day galvanized 1,000 workers running 24/7 to get back on a path to flight by the end of this year. Throughout the conversation, Limp reflects on what drew him to a role whose biggest payoffs he may never personally see, the urgency of getting to the Moon before China and staying there, and the refreshing speed with which NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman has pushed bureaucracy aside in favor of genuine public-private partnership.

    Rays CEO Ken Babby on the “forever” ballpark, the Rays way, and the Yankees’ character | 13th & Park

    Send us Fan Mail Tampa Bay Rays CEO Ken Babby joins Adam Goodman on 13th and Park for a wide-ranging conversation on what it takes to build a winning organization on a limited budget, why culture and chemistry are the Rays' real secret sauce, and what it felt like to celebrate a postseason series win over the New York Yankees in a champagne-soaked clubhouse just one year after acquiring the team. Babby traces his unconventional path from intern at the Washington Post to minor league owner of the Akron Rubber Ducks and Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, and explains how 15 years of testing ideas in the minor leagues became the blueprint he brought to Tampa Bay. Babby offers a candid look inside the Rays' baseball operations culture, crediting president Eric Neander and manager Kevin Cash, the longest-tenured manager-front-office duo in the game, with building a clubhouse where players choose to have dinner together on the road and play dominoes on the plane. He makes the case that Kevin Cash's unflappable calm is as important to the team's success as any analytics model, and reflects on what watching trade deadline decisions from the back of the room taught him about how elite organizations actually work. The conversation turns to the Rays' long-awaited Forever Home, a new ballpark in Tampa that will be built adjacent to Steinbrenner Field. Babby describes a facility designed to feel like an open-air ballpark while delivering the climate-controlled comfort Florida demands, and calls it unlike anything currently in North America. He also walks through the remarkable off-field partnership with the Yankees, including the moment New York publicly backed the Tampa ballpark project and gave the Rays the home clubhouse at Steinbrenner Field for an entire season rather than displace their division rival. The episode closes with a close look at the technology reshaping baseball, from the ABS challenge system to the replay review that overturned a would-be Anthony Volpe home run in Game 3 of the ALDS, a call Babby says exemplifies commissioner Rob Manfred's commitment to always getting the outcome right. Babby draws a through line from his early days checking box scores in the Washington Post to running one of the most creative franchises in the sport, and makes clear that for the Rays, the best is still ahead.

    How a Political Journal Changed the Conversation in Washington | Gladden Pappin on 13th and Park

    Send us Fan Mail Gladden Pappin, co-founder of American Affairs and newly joined Ballard Partners, sits down with Adam Goodman on 13th and Park to trace the intellectual and personal journey that brought him from Little Rock, Arkansas, to the center of Washington's policy debates. A sixth-generation descendant of the Osage Nation and Harvard graduate, Pappin draws a straight line from his grandfather Bob Gladden's restless work ethic and globe-trotting ambition, to early exposure to high-level politics through the Clinton White House, to the conviction that American political thought needed a serious reset. Pappin and his co-founder Julius Krein launched American Affairs in 2017 at the Harvard Club of New York, deliberately placing it beside Foreign Affairs on the shelf and inviting contributors who actually understood industrial policy, supply chains, energy dominance, and the competitive threat from China. Long before those topics reached the mainstream, the journal was making the case that deindustrialization had hollowed out American towns and that the political consensus of the 1990s had cost the country real power. Pappin describes how Senator Marco Rubio's office became an early home for those ideas, and how proposals that once filled the journal's pages now sit in the offices of the current administration. The conversation turns to J.D. Vance, whom Pappin first engaged in a critical review of Hillbilly Elegy in 2016, and who reached back out in January 2019 to begin a serious policy dialogue. Pappin offers a rare inside look at how Vance approaches ideas, describing a leader who actively seeks out dissenting voices, drills down on each subject area, and refuses to surround himself only with people who already agree with him. That portrait of intellectual curiosity, Pappin argues, is what distinguishes Vance as a strategic thinker. Pappin closes with a sweeping assessment of Europe, NATO, and the Trump doctrine's emphasis on economics as a parallel pillar to security and sovereignty. Having led a research center in Hungary and now heading Ballard Partners' Central and Western European practice, he argues that the foundation of European security rests on individual nations and the willingness of their people to invest in their own countries, and that the new American approach of anchoring alliances in clear economic value propositions is both a correction to overreach and a more honest path to lasting partnership.

    Mykhailo Bno-Airiian on Feeding the World While Fighting a War | 13th & Park

    Send us Fan Mail Mykhailo Bno-Airian, Vice President of Global Affairs at MHP, joins Adam Goodman at Ballard Studios in Washington DC for a conversation about one of the most overlooked dimensions of the war in Ukraine: its economy. A former diplomat, energy executive, and governor of the Kyiv region, Bno-Airian brings a uniquely layered perspective to the question of how a country keeps itself working, and working at a world-class level, while under sustained military assault. MHP, founded by Yuriy Kosyuk, operates across roughly 350,000 hectares, employs more than 30,000 people, and has grown into the number one poultry producer in Europe, exporting to more than 70 countries. Bno-Airian describes the daily rhythm of life in Ukraine with striking plainness: bombings through the night, families emerging from shelters in the morning and walking their children to school. He argues that the true front line of the war is not only military but entrepreneurial, with Ukrainian business owners rebuilding destroyed facilities the very next day and refusing to stop. MHP's continued operations in rural communities, he explains, are critical not just to food exports but to preserving the tax base, social infrastructure, and human presence in areas that would otherwise empty out. The conversation turns to global strategy, with Bno-Airian pressing the case that Ukraine is being discussed without Ukrainians at the table. He recounts MHP becoming the first Ukrainian agricultural company to join the World Economic Forum at Davos, his meeting with the WTO Director General on eliminating non-tariff barriers to agricultural trade, and his argument to decision makers in both Washington and Brussels that Ukraine should be seen as an opportunity, not a competitor. He draws a direct parallel to U.S. support for Israel and South Korea, suggesting a similar industrial partnership model could define the postwar relationship between the United States and Ukraine. Adam Goodman closes by framing the episode's core theme: that beneath every geopolitical calculation is a human story, and that a Ukrainian family's hopes for safety, prosperity, and freedom look a great deal like those of any American family.

    Can a Safety Net Hospital Be the Model for American Healthcare? | Craig Wagoner on 13th & Park

    Send us Fan Mail Craig Wagoner, President and CEO of Community Health System, joins Adam Goodman on 13th and Park for an in-depth conversation about one of California's most consequential but least-known health systems. Serving more than 4 million residents across 15,000 square miles of the Central Valley, Community Health System operates five hospitals, nearly 12,000 employees, and the only Level 1 trauma center and burn center between Los Angeles and Sacramento. Wagoner explains what it truly means to be a safety net provider, accepting every patient regardless of ability to pay, and why that mission comes at a steep financial cost: the system loses roughly $600 on every government-insured patient, a burden that has pushed the organization into the red despite running one of the leanest cost structures of any hospital system in California. Wagoner details the specific pressures facing the system, from chronic physician shortages in a community where there are roughly 2,000 residents per primary care doctor, to the structural mismatch between Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement rates and the real cost of delivering care. He shares the system's goal of being back in the black by 2029, and outlines the strategies driving that turnaround, including a nurse navigator diabetes pilot program that has already produced a 33% reduction in emergency visits and measurable improvements in patient blood sugar levels. He makes the case that Community Health System, with its overwhelming concentration of Medicaid and Medicare patients, is a natural proving ground for population health models that could be scaled nationally. The conversation turns to Wagoner's personal journey through 35 years in healthcare across 22 hospitals and six states, and what drew him to the Central Valley's mission-driven culture. He describes a workforce where some employees have been with the organization for over 50 years, a staff he says has hearts bigger than any place he has ever worked. He closes with a call for a fundamental realignment of incentives across the entire healthcare system, bringing pharmaceutical companies, payers, providers, and labor to the same table to design something better, arguing that at 18% of GDP, the current path simply is not sustainable.
