Take a Big Gulp - Luck Favors the Prepared

LUNCH! with Shelley

Welcome to the latest episode of Lunch with Shelley featuring this week’s special guest Bruce Mehlman, a partner at Mehlman Consulting, the author of very popular quarterly decks focused on political and policy trends, and despite his best efforts, a pretty optimistic guy!
Bruce is a highly sought-after keynote speaker who regularly headlines business conferences and strategic planning sessions. While we get a personal rundown from Bruce, his quarterly infographic analyses are consistently picked-up by national media and eagerly consumed by tens of thousands of readers worldwide.
Prior to leading one of the most respected and effective bi-partisan government relations firms in DC, Bruce previously served as Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Technology Policy under President George W. Bush and also worked as a senior leadership aide in the House of Representatives, general counsel to a national political party committee and policy counsel to Cisco Systems.
Join us as we discuss all things 2024 and beyond – what to be concerned about, reasons to be relatively optimistic, how to best be prepared for what’s coming down the pike, and our mutual love of lunch! We maintain a good sense of humor throughout the podcast even when we’re about to go down a pessimistic rabbit hole, so join us for salads, a few big gulps, and a fascinating conversation at www.lunchwithshelley.com or wherever you get your favorite podcasts, and in the meantime peace, love and lunch!
