Bob Keefe is the Executive Director of the national nonpartisan group E2 - Environmental Entrepreneurs, and author of "Clean Economy NOW: Stories from the Front Lines of an American Business Revolution." Bob is a seasoned journalist, passing on his experiences with 10,000 business leaders dedicated to promoting sustainable environmental practices amidst an economy in change since the 2022 passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). New factories are building where old ones once existed, some abandoned. South Carolina, as an example, sees the manufacture of batteries, a necessity now more than ever, and available 'at home'. Washington state, meanwhile, sees the manufacture of electric planes taking place, as well as transitioning older diesel semis to electrics. This translates to an increase in available and better paying jobs in our communities. Bob cautions the progress is dependent on these policies continuing to move forward, toward a clearer environment and a healthier community.

Nychol Lyna and Arthur Romeo are the coauthors of "Forgotten Baby," a special book exploring the journey foster care and adoption.  Nychol came through a challenging system in California and became an educator to work on the needs of what she called the "forgotten children," many of whom cycling through the foster system. Arthur bounced through many homes in his youth and feels fortunate to have had one good foster family for a short part of that time, later putting him with his forever family, fatherhood, and his work with young folks in the artistic realm. Details of his adventures can be seen on Instagram @dreamboat82. Nychol has founded the Dream North Foundation to support at risk youth. 

Kevin Dixon is Assistant Director for the State of Washington's "Working Families Tax Credit Division". He joins us to provide important tax information related to the credit, administered regularly by the state's Department of Revenue to help low-to-moderate income workers and their families receive money back on sales taxes already paid. Families can receive up to $1255.00, pending on whether they meet eligibility requirements. As Tax Day (April 15) looms close, families often find this a good time to apply for the tax credit as well. However, applications are accepted through the year, and can be done online, or in person in many offices across the state. The goal is to promote racial equity and support financial stability and well-being toward those in the mid to low lines.

Dr. Linnea Axman is Associate Dean for all the Master of Science Nursing Programs at the University of Phoenix's College of Nursing. She joins us this week to share her insights on the state of nursing, some of the specialized trainings that exist, and the educational opportunities that abound. While every day is worth showing appreciation for our nurses, March 19 takes great precedence as Certified Nursing Day, a time to recognize the contributions of, and those dedicated to, this very important profession. It's a huge field, one that can even take those studying on a journey round the globe, which is what Dr. Axman did experience as a nurse in the Navy. It's a rewarding career for young persons ready to graduate high school, as well as a serious new opportunity for anyone looking to make a change - people who care about people.
