Iowa's consumer data privacy law went into effect on January 1, 2025, but Ai's advances in 2027 will open a new can of worms for Iowa business owners. @davisbrownlaw data privacy and cyber law pro Scott Murphy says if your business collects any data, even an email address or social media plugin, you are almost certainly in a legally vulnerable position. Murphy shares the grim details for Iowa business owners and explains that even if your website has a social media tool or plugin that is collecting data you're not even aware of, that still makes you legally liable. Murphy also shares some basic steps you can do today to take yourself out of the crosshairs of blood thirsty lawyers looking for their next payday.

Remember Maytag? @McGowanForIowa on the importance of US manufacturing.
Chris McGowan is running for Congress in Iowa's 4th district. He re-affirms his support for the continued military operation in Iran, albeit with some caveats. He also explains his thinking on tariffs after they still haven't achieved their goal, but he also discusses why civil treatment of his political opponent is important. McGowan, an Air Force veteran, explains his children are currently serving. He says he supported bombing of Iran to remove nuclear weapons, but says continued war must be justified through the lens of the country posing an immediate threat. McGowan also explains why he wants to be "unpopular" by limiting spending, and why he wants to return civility to Congress. 💡 Find it on your favoriate app: iowapodcast.com/chris-mcgowa… ⚖️ Hurt at work?

You'd think Tom Lutz, founder of Repour Wine Saver would be shaking in his boots with restaurant traffic down and the NA movement driving down the consumption of alcohol, but you'd be wrong. In a counterintuitive local-Iowa victory story, lower alcohol sales are big business. 💡 Find this show on your favorite player: iowapodcast.com/repour-wine-… ⚖️ Get guidance from Dentons Davis Brown: dentons.com/en/dentons-davis… 🐖 Get a free $30 gift card from Jethro's BBQ: iowapodcast.com/jethrosbbq Lutz's technological breakthrough "eats" oxygen from the bottle keeping it fresh for longer. As consumers purchase less wine, they're becoming more selective, turning to more expensive bottles. And because they drink less per sitting, they're choosing to save that nice bottle and stretch it. The same story rings true for restaurants, and that's where Repour has found big business.

We have the same problems with @facebook. We’ve been… - suspended 3-4 times when a political interview went viral (brigading) - had a post removed for “cybersecurity” (later told us they made a mistake) - accused of being a “foreign actor, representing a local voice.”
Facebook is now limiting pages to only posting 2 links per month unless they pay up. This is the sad reality of where most social platforms are heading. Decisions that do not benefit users one bit. Big companies will have no problem covering these fees, but this will really hurt small businesses and pages who share critical information. Did you know, last month, Meta settled a $17B lawsuit against them claiming their platforms were deliberately addictive for children and teenagers? 🤔

We asked @joemitchelliowa if he's concerned about lobbyist influence, why did he hire his own?
The Former Great Plains Regional Admin of HUD is running for Congress. @joemitchelliowa discusses his friendship with Charlie Kirk, what Kirk would have to say about Iowa State Fair protests, accountability for healthcare providers who pushed gender surgeries, and how both incentives and regulations are driving up housing prices. The Trump appointee also explains his thinking on flock cameras, mass surveillance, and addresses concerns on his tough stance against lobbying. Does it conflict with his former experience hiring lobbyists? 💡 Find this show on your favorite player:iowapodcast.com/joe-mitchell… ⚖️ Hurt at work?
