Title:
Senior Director, Greenberg Traurig, LLP, Former Member of the U.S. House of Representatives
Industry:
Government Relations, Lobbying

What is your morning routine?
A: My morning routine is basically, stretching, calisthenics, treadmill or swimming, shower, put on sweats (now), down the steps to my office, protein drink, newspaper ( I’m old school ) and log-in.

How would you describe what you do?
A: 
I am a federal lobbyist working primarily with Members of Congress. Our clients are fortune 500 companies, non-profits, and foreign governments. Our work involves the telecom, energy, health, automotive sectors and international relations. My job is to educate members of Congress by presenting our clients narrative story, their needs and reasonable legislative solutions.

What is the last book or article you read?
A: 
I spend much of my day reading articles and reports. One of the most recent was a piece  on the challenges facing Black businesses trying to survive the pandemic. The take away was that major changes were needed in the way these companies do business in terms of marketing, use of technology and geographic location. Unequal access to capital and lending discrimination was a key issue.

Identify one trend in your industry you predict will change how business is done?
A: 
Traditionally our’s is a communications oriented business, client facing business. The trend to virtual meetings will be a major change. People are finding it more efficient to reduce in person meetings, conferences, etc. Large constituent fly-ins to Washington, D.C. may become a thing of the past. Instead of cocktail parties, online fundraisers are quicker and cheaper and at the federal level the yield is about the same. So while I used to refer to myself as a “shoe leather lobbyist” walking the corridors of power, I am slowing becoming an online lobbyist advocating for my clients via email and Zoom.

What’s your favorite productivity habit?
A: I’m not sure what a productivity habit is, but I routinely try to focus on productivity and efficiency as part of my personal balance. I think a lot about work/life balance and ways I can mentally organize tasks to get more time for myself while being more effective on my job. Having said that I guess I try to develop the habit of more planning to give me more time for other things I want to do. I would also add staying connected by calling more people more often, particularly now in what I call the age of the apocalypse.

In business what is something that most people learn only after it’s too late?
A: I think most  people learn too late that their business model was not sufficiently thought out. They didn’t consider all the market angles, acquire sufficient capital and generally didn’t know the business well enough.
