Will Congressman Tim Ryan join James Garfield in going directly from U.S. House Representative from Ohio to President of the United States? Will he run or is he running?At my invitation, he included a class visit to an undergraduate business course in Durham, New Hampshire. Rep. Ryan's law degree is from what is now the university's law school (located in Concord, and named for President Franklin Pierce when he attended). He was last in state this past spring, serving as commencement speaker at the law school's graduation exercises. Before going off the record for student conversations, we talked topics in corporate, government, and personal $ broadly.Recruiting businesses to the area - keeping GM, wooing AmazonInfrastructurethe stakeholders, not just shareholders, of a company ("B Corps")TaxesServing on a committee on something that doesn’t exist - the federal budgetChinaSpending and debtPersonal savings & money for an emergency...and boat and vacation homeHomemade pizzaMindfulness & meditation
