Our TRC Nexus team is building an informative and valuable Saturday topic schedule to close out the…
From the Desk of Mike Rusher, President, The Results Company Thanks for joining us this Saturday morning, the last day of early voting. Pardon the late delivery, we have some fresh data that is not yet available anywhere, so here is an absolute exclusive for TRC Nexus readers. Today we’re breaking down the trends and numbers…
Thanks for joining us this Saturday morning. This month, Gallup released its annual survey of trust in American institutions. For the seventh consecutive year, the proportion of respondents who have a “great deal/fair amount” of trust in the media dropped.

We’ll get right to it. ***North Carolina’s treasurer is among the most powerful keepers of the public purse in the country. That’s because, as Business NC reported this week, North Carolina “is one of the three remaining states that…
It’s been nearly six months since our last check-in on NCInnovation, and the organization has achieved a lot since then. After we get into those details, we’ll share a concept that earned a lot of attention in national media this week, and that has a few parallels – and important differences – to the model…
Last week, we discussed work and purpose as key foundations for each of us. This week, we discuss the freedom to discuss our own thoughts – a freedom that is foundational to our Republic’s viability and vitality. Unfortunately, many now dismiss “threats” to the First Amendment as radical hyperbole, but we ignore this threat to…
