In this episode, Hosts Dr. Rita and Diane Little interview interview Joel Ford, former North Carolina State Senator. We talk about his disappointment with the Democrat party and his concerns with progressive approaches to change. With economic freedom as his primary goal, he unpacks his approach to questions about school choice, vouchers, education, and voting rights. He also explains his major concern: too many elected officials are more concerned with fighting than working; and our liberal/progression expectations set the bar too low.
Joel joined the Sentinel team in 2022 as a Client Executive and is responsible for the
oversight, management, and implementation of all strategies as they relate to the
management and servicing of an account.
Originally from Belmont, NC, Joel is a former North Carolina State Senator who represented Mecklenburg County for six years. In March of 2021, Joel was appointed by the Senate to the University of North Carolina System Board of Governors. A self-described “serial entrepreneur”, Joel began his professional career with Waste Management of Atlanta, GA, and later launched his own waste management services company in Charlotte. Joel has owned several businesses including a restaurant (Juniors Chicken & Waffles) and a barbershop and salon (Premier Barbershop & Salon).
Joel’s background as a business owner provides an understanding of risk management from a client’s perspective. His knowledge and experience enable him to serve as a true advisor to his clients, safeguarding their success in an ever-changing business environment.
