Joining the show this week is a partner who enjoys helping people disrupt the hospitality space, and who has represented billions of dollars in acquisitions. Please welcome to the show, Partner and Co-Leader of the Hospitality Industry Team at Baker Hostetler, Jeff Diener!Jeff sits down with Dan Ryan to discuss the role of a partner in the hospitality industry. Jeff shares tips for partners who are looking to emulate his skills in the industry, the importance of spending time with your clients to learn about them, and what the future holds for property investments. Takeaways: At its core, hospitality is about providing someone with customized service. It involves creating the right combination of satisfaction, comfort, security and enthusiasm for each individual client. Understanding the value of relationships and collaboration in the hospitality industry can lead to more successful outcomes. Embracing a service-oriented mindset is crucial for anyone looking to thrive in the world of hospitality.When negotiating deals for smaller clients, you are typically negotiating on their behalf, whereas with large clients you are negotiating with them. Understanding what a brand cares about and how to get them on board are integral skills. One of the most important things you can do with your client is spend time with them in both formal and informal settings. As you spend time together, you better understand what matters to your clients, and can speed up further aspects of the project. Looking towards the future of deals that are yet to come, many owners are buying properties and wanting to make adjustments. When working with owners, understand the story they are trying to convey, to help them make the necessary changes. Investing in real estate requires a shift in mindset post-COVID, where traditional assets like offices and multifamily properties may not always guarantee returns. Diversifying across asset classes can be key to maximizing returns in the current market.Embrace market turbulence as an opportunity for growth and value creation when looking at properties. Stay informed, stay prepared, and capitalize on deals to thrive in a dynamic environment.Quote of the Show:“It's getting more and more involved in their business, and that's where the joy is.” - Jeff DienerLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeff-diener-0132564/ Website: https://www.bakerlaw.com/ Shout Outs:3:38 - Cornell: https://www.cornell.edu/ 10:59 - W Union Square: https://www.marriott.com/en-us/hotels/nycnu-w-new-york-union-square/experiences/ 11:03 - Marriott: https://www.marriott.com/default.mi 13:11 - ULI European Hospitality Council: https://europe.uli.org/ 20:21 - Hilton: https://www.hilton.com/ 26:46 - Ohana Real Estate Investors: https://ohanare.com/ 26:55 - Peter Fischer: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-fischer-438ba97/ 30:42 - Chuck Feeney30:47 - Warren Buffett30:50 - Bill Gates30:53 - Duty Free Shopping: www.dfs.com 30:58 - Atlantic Philanthropies: https://www.atlanticphilanthropies.org/ 31:58 - Bob Goldman: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bob-goldman-13986812/ 33:03 - Homewood Ski Resort: https://www.skihomewood.com/ 35:02 - Apple: https://www.apple.com/ 35:23 - Tiffany's: https://www.tiffany.com/ 40:03 - ALIS: https://www.burba.com/ALIS 46:32 - The Peninsula Hotels: https://www.peninsula.com/en/default 55:32 - Adam Smith1:02:48 - BakerHostetler: https://www.bakerlaw.com 1:03:08 - Christie Pink: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cpink449/ 1:03:10 - Ritz Carlton: https://www.ritzcarlton.com/ 1:04:08 - Horst Schulze: https://www.linkedin.com/in/horstschulze/ 1:07:08 - Keith BrennanWays to Tune In: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0A2XOJvb6mGqEPYJ5bilPXApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/defining-hospitality-podcast/id1573596386Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGVmaW5pbmdob3NwaXRhbGl0eS5saXZlL2ZlZWQueG1sAmazon Music: ​​https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8c904932-90fa-41c3-813e-1cb8f3c42419

Chuck Feeney, the Irish-American philanthropist, died in October this year at the age of 92. Two months after his death in San Francisco, he was laid to rest in Dublin's Glasnevin Cemetery. During his lifetime he quietly gave away almost all of his $8 billion fortune. Through his foundation Atlantic Philanthropies he funded massive life-changing education, health and science projects in Ireland, the US and around the world; as a proud Irish-American he helped fund the peace process leading to the Belfast Agreement. He wanted anonymity; he never wanted to be thanked or acknowledged or for his name to be on any of the buildings or institutions his money built. Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Suzanne Brennan. This episode was originally published in October 2023. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we have part one in a dive on the man, myth, and legend. (G. Soros) I look at who he funds, and who he's linked with, and try to let the evidence speak for itself instead of making grandiose statements. Join me as i dare try, and crawl down that rabbit hole that so many seem to sidestep, or say the same old same without actually getting in the mud. . Don't forget to share, and thank you for taking the time to listen!   Cheers, and Blessings   Show Notes   Soros 60 Minutes
https://youtu.be/RS5a2sXL5Ic   https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Open_Society_and_Its_Enemies   I remained a socialist for several years, even after my rejection of Marxism; and if there could be such a thing as socialism combined with individual liberty, I would be a socialist still. For nothing could be better than living a modest, simple, and free life in an egalitarian society. It took some time before I recognized this as no more than a beautiful dream; that freedom is more important than equality; that the attempt to realize equality endangers freedom; and that, if freedom is lost, there will not even be equality among the unfree.

Patrisse Cullers(BLM) is the director of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights. This organization also receives funds from the Open Society Foundation.
One of these founders, Alicia Garza (BLM), runs an organization called the National Domestic Workers Alliance, on whose board sits Alta Starr. Starr oversees a fund at the Ford Foundation. She is also on the board of a foundation backed by billionaire George Soros, the
Open Society Foundation's Southern Initiative. A leaked document from an October 2015 board meeting of the Soros-funded US Programs/Open Society revealed that the organization provided $650,000 “to invest in technical assistance and support for the groups at the core of the burgeoning #BlackLivesMatter movement.” The document notes that the board planned to discuss the difficulty of dealing with a de-centralized movement: “What happens when you want to throw a lot of money at a moment[sic], but there isn't any place for it to go?” It was also raised that the Soros name could discredit Black Lives Matter if the public became aware of his financial support.

In institutional environments, there is a clear distinction between spaces that are ‘front of house' and spaces that are ‘back of house'. But as we move away from institutional approaches, this distinction starts to blur very quickly. Join Jennifer and Max as we talk to 3 great guests – Jude Rabig, Carrie Chiusano, and Damian Utton about their experiences educating leadership, frontline staff, family, and communities about how operation and design can make their communities feel more like home. Our first interview is with Jude Rabig, a nationally recognized leader, speaker, and change agent who served as the first Executive Director of the National Green House Project.

New progressive social movements are driving a huge boom of new talent. But leadership development efforts don't have the funding or scale to keep up. Our guests today are trying to working to change that. In episode 2 of our second season, we're thrilled to talk with two powerful leaders, Deepak Bhargava and Gara LaMarche, who seek to build a new leadership center for young are building a new leadership center, housed within the City University of New York (CUNY), to support young activists — particularly those from communities of color and working-class backgrounds. Deepak comes from the progressive community organizing field, where he is best known for running the Center for Community Change (now known as Community Change). Gara comes from the progressive philanthropy field, where he has held executive leadership roles in the Democracy Alliance, Atlantic Philanthropies, and the Open Society Foundations. We discuss their career journeys, their new research, and their current endeavor. And we discuss why there is so little infrastructure to support the progressive nonprofit workforce, including the lack of investment from organized philanthropy.

In this episode we discuss an important operational trend in care environments: decentralized decision-making and resources. The goal of this approach to put decision-making as close to the resident as possible. But how does one go about doing that? What are the related opportunities and barriers?

Over the past quarter-century, Gara LaMarche has had a super interesting career in philanthropy and progressive politics. For nearly a decade, starting in the mid-1990s, he worked for George Soros helping Soros figure out how to give away hundreds of millions of dollars in the United States. During that time, the Open Society Foundations would emerge as a key early funder of causes like criminal justice reform and marriage equality. LaMarche then went to work for another top mega-donor, Chuck Feeney, and led Atlantic Philanthropies, where he was once again in charge of giving away huge piles of money. After that, he became head of the Democracy Alliance, a network of wealthy donors that collectively moves tens of millions of dollars a year to progressive causes. Along the way, LaMarche has worked with just about every important organization and leader on the left. LaMarche has been a practitioner of big philanthropy, but also a thoughtful critic. Host David Callahan spoke with LaMarche not long before he announced that he would be stepping down as president of the Democracy Alliance. Inside Change is produced by David Callahan and Kayan Tara.

We are in conversation with Amit and Archana Chandra, a couple who through their life have set an example and inspired many towards greater generosity, purpose, simplicity, joy and more.    Amit Chandra is Managing director and Chairman of Bain Capital India and founder of their Mumbai office. Prior to that, most of his professional career was at DSP Merrill Lynch, one of most reputed investment banks in India. He joined the firm after his MBA from Boston College and by his mid-thirties, he was heading the firm.    Despite having reached the pinnacle of the corporate world at such a young age, Amit recalls having felt empty. That led him to reflect deeply on the meaning and purpose of life and at the peak of his banking career, he gave up his position as MD of the firm and moved to private equity so that he could devote more time to philanthropic work.    In fact, generosity was not a new thing for Amit. Thanks for his mother’s encouragement, giving was part of Amit’s DNA right from the early days. He would give time for education and as money came, he started to give money too. As a couple too, Amit and Archana have been contributing to various causes, right from the day of their marriage.  They would set themselves a target for % of income to be donated - it started with single digits, then grew to 10%, then a bit more and at some point, they decided to give away most of their income. Currently, they aim to donate 90% of their income and are also signatories to Indian Giving Pledge -- LivingMyPromise. Since last few years Amit has now moved to a part-time model in Bain Capital where he devotes half of his time to Bain Capital and the remaining half to Social Impact and related topics.    Archana’s early career was in marketing, PR, and HR roles at Bennett & Coleman, Informix (a division of IBM) and The Akanksha Foundation. Soon, she moved full time into social work and presently serves as Board Member & CEO of Jai Vakeel Foundation, one of the largest NGOs serving those impacted by mental challenges. She is a Trustee of SRCC, which is building the largest hospital dedicated to children in the country. She is also a member of the Advisory Board of Annamrita (part of the ISKCON Food Relief Foundation) and Antarang Foundation. She passionately shares stories of inclusion encouraging everyone to take time to notice and connect with people with disability, not as much for changing their lives but because it might transform our own lives.  Inspired by The Atlantic Philanthropies founder Chuck Feeney's "giving while living" approach to philanthropy, Archana and Amit Chandra, have become the torchbearers of new ideas and trends in India’s development sector. Their commitment to create an equitable, inclusive and sustainable society is now embodied in the A.T.E Chandra Foundation. Since their earliest days, they have deeply supported the education space including playing a pivotal role in setting up organizations like Ashoka University in liberal education, design for change movement which has supported over 2mn children from 50,000 schools across 35 countries become change agents, setting up one of the largest children’s hospitals SRCC in Mumbai to name a few.  In recent years, the foundation has focused on various projects and initiatives in the area of Rural Transformation and Sector Capacity Building. Under Rural transformation, they have supported some groundbreaking work in water sustainability and helping many villages of Maharashtra become draught free through a unique, simple and collaborative approach to water restoration. Under Capacity building for the development sector, they are committed to leadership development in nonprofits and aim to support 200 social sector leaders every year and also support many NGOs by funding their capacity building expenses which can enable them to provide better services at scale. In India, as country wide lockdown was announced and 100s of millions of poor struggled with basic necessities, the Chandras along with some friends quickly responded and in a period of 2 months, were able to feed 1 million people with over 20million meals.  Through their work, they have created monumental impact, but drawing inspiration from Guru Nanak Dev and other teachers of Sikh religion, Amit and Archana continue to be the change, and live a life of simplicity, humility and greater compassion. 

It's been called "The Philanthropist's Dilemma" and the "Now or Forever" question: Do I spend down or form a foundation in perpetuity?This question of course comes with many others: is this really a binary decision? How should I find my own path? How do I take into account the size of my giving, my philanthropic strategy, my co-decision makers and my life plans?Join us in conversation with Peter Smitham, Chair of Atlantic Philanthropies, to learn how philanthropists can approach decision-making around whether to spend down or to give in perpetuity. The session will last 60 minutes.Peter Smitham was a founder of Permira (formerly Schroder Ventures), a global private equity firm where he fulfilled different roles for 30 years until 2015, including managing partner and chairman. Previously he had worked in the electronics industry, including a successful start-up in the 1970s. In 2000 Peter decided to “go plural” and include strategic philanthropy, social impact investing and emerging market private equity to his developed market private equity career with Permira. Since then he has served on the boards of MSI Reproductive Choices (formerly Marie Stopes), New Philanthropy Capital, and Population Services International. In 2004 he joined the Board of Atlantic Philanthropies - a multibillion-dollar organisation with a limited life spend down philosophy created and funded by Chuck Feeney. Peter served as the Board Chair of Atlantic Philanthropies from 2011-2020. In 2004 Peter and wife Lynne founded their family foundation, The Kiawah Trust, which focuses on improving the lives of disadvantaged adolescent girls in India.

各位朋友大家好，今天可還好嗎？歡迎再次收聽謙信歷史廣場Podcast，我是謙信，喜歡我提供內容的話請記得訂閱喔，讓我們趕緊進入主題吧！ 謙信成長過程深受一句話影響「裹屍布沒有口袋」，說這句話的並不是那種夸夸其談、只會出一張嘴的政客、表裡不一的人，相反的是一位財富可與巴菲特、比爾蓋茲等人比肩的人，更重要是他身體力行我們熟知「錢財乃身外之物，生不帶來，死不帶去」這句話，發誓要在自己生前把財富捐完，而在2020年9月14日，他宣布自己的大西洋慈善基金會（Atlantic Philanthropies）結束營運，因為已捐光所有的錢，總額達到八十億美元之多，他究竟是誰呢？ 1931年4月美國新澤西州一個愛爾蘭移民家庭誕生新生命，樂於幫助別人父母為他命名為查克·費尼，深受基督教家庭教育影響，他從小就習慣過著節儉的生活。1948年加入美國空軍並在日本韓國服役四年之久，這段軍旅生涯帶給他相當大的影響，完成學業的他利用自己退伍身分推銷免稅商品，這時候遇見康奈爾大學校友羅伯特·米勒，兩人合作在1960年創立的環球免稅集團（DFS），目前已經是世界最大的連鎖免稅店集團。 他的為人生活堪稱是所有奢侈品牌的最大敵人，怎麼說呢？這麼一位應該很有錢的人，生活卻比一般受薪階級更為節省，除從來沒有穿過名牌衣服，眼鏡也破舊不堪，連佩戴手錶也是從地攤上買來的。吃的方面不愛美食，最喜歡的是價格低廉的烤奶酪和蕃茄三明治。不僅沒有自己汽車，外出通常都是乘坐公共汽車，這點是謙信一直仿效的，甚至用的公文包是個布袋。假使有幸和他一起到小酒館坐坐，一定會仔細核對帳單；假使住在他家裡，睡覺前一定提醒你把燈關了。....

For those of you who don't know him or have never heard of him Chuck Feeney is an extraordinary human being whose kindness and vision has brought hope and joy to millions. Last week he signed the papers to finally bring an end to Atlantic Philanthropies – a humanitarian and charitable organisation he established in 1982. His purpose was to give away his 8 billion dollar fortune.I first met Chuck in 1993. Niall Ó Dowd brought the two of us together. We hit it off from that first crinniú. Later he was part of a delegation of Irish Americans who came to Ireland on a fact finding visit. As well as Chuck and Niall the group was led by former US Congress member Bruce Morrison and included Bill Flynn, Chair of National Committee on American Foreign Policy, and Trade Union activist Joe Jamison. Because our first meeting with the delegation took place in Connolly House, the Sinn Féin office in west Belfast, the delegation became known as the Connolly House group.The group played a hugely important role in creating the conditions for the 1994 IRA cessation. They were especially vital in encouraging and sustaining the involvement of the Clinton White House. Chuck has remained steadfast and committed to the Irish peace process ever since.Chuck also made an outstanding financial contribution to the establishment and running of the Sinn Féin office in Washington in 1995 and to its funding in advance of Friends of Sinn Féin being established.Chuck is one of the most remarkable people I have ever met. A very private man who shunned the spotlight and who was totally committed to our efforts to build a peace process. He always remained keenly interested in the latest developments within the peace process.Chuck travelled the world, quietly, anonymously, donating his money to education projects, cancer research, the arts, music, neuroscience, sport and human rights. Millions of people in the USA, Ireland, Australia, Vietnam, South Africa and in dozens of other countries have benefited from his determination to use his wealth to improve the human condition.Chuck's philosophy is straightforward – if you give while living you get to see the results. So, thank you Chuck and Helga for your generosity and solidarity over many years. Be assured that your efforts have touched many millions and will continue to do so into the future. Go raibh maith agaibh chairde.  Britannia Waives The Rules .... Arís.The song ‘Rule Britannia' with its infamous line “Britons never, never, never shall be slaves” was written in 1740 at a time when Britain was the leading slaving nation of that century, transporting and selling slaves in their tens of thousands. Britain's wealth was largely built on this trade. Recent controversies around statues belonging to slave owners and traders in Britain and elsewhere and a growing awareness of ‘Black Lives Matter' and of the appalling impact of British colonial policy, saw the BBC announce that the lyrics to Rule Britannia would not be sung in its ‘Last night at the Proms' to be broadcast several weeks ago. The jingoistic and right wing outrage this sparked, including a condemnation from Boris Johnson, forced the BBC to u-turn. The words were sung to an empty Albert Hall.From the first landings by Norman knights in the 12th century, through centuries of exploitation, occupation, dispossession and land thefts, to the imposition of plantation, the promotion of sectarian divisions, famines, An Gorta Mór, partition and state collusion and murder, British government involvement in Ireland has been to our detriment. But I won't go on about that. It has encouraged and sustained a ‘Little Englander' mentality that is narcissistic, aggressive, and arrogant.  An attitude that ignores the inhumanity a

In the past month, nonprofits and foundations across the country have made strong statements of commitment to racial justice, in particular to support the Movement for Black Lives. At the center of this work is an understanding that we need to create new narratives about what we want our future to look like and how we move forward. As we create these narratives, we will need to harness the power of stories. Our guest this week is Thaler Pekar, who specializes in gathering stories of foundations, nonprofits, and companies. Among her many achievements, Thaler traveled around the world to collect 178 oral histories for Atlantic Philanthropies, which are archived at Cornell University. In addition to her work on oral histories, her firm Thaler Pekar & Partners produces videos, conducts workshops, and coaches executives on how to tell their stories.   Eric and Thaler spoke back in February, but their conversation could not be more timely. Thaler reminds us of the importance of collecting and sharing stories. As so many of us turn our sights to creating a new narrative of change, this episode serves as a valuable lesson in the curriculum.

The goal of the Health and Aging Policy Fellowship program is to help professionals in the aging space gain the skills and experiences they need to impact policy to improve the quality of life and quality of care delivered to older Americans. In this week's episode, Melissa shares her Health and Aging Policy Fellow experience. Part One of ‘Health and Aging Policy Fellow Experience’ The Health and Aging Policy Fellow Experience is a program that is sponsored by the John A. Hartford Foundation and Atlantic Philanthropies. Anyone who is interested in health care and works in aging is eligible to apply to this program. It is highly competitive, and there are a series of information webinars/ phone calls you can attend prior to submitting your application. You would start by looking at the Health and Aging Policy Fellowship (HAPF) website. The HAPF website gives you the key dates and when the information webinars/ phone calls are held. That’s a great way to get a little bit more information about the program. For the application process, you would decide if you wanted to do the residential or non-residential track. And if you wanted to do a non-residential track, you would propose to do a project, with a particular organization or agency within the executive branch, judicial branch, a private foundation or an organization that matches your area of expertise and what you want to gain from the experience. “Geriatric Workforce Improvement Act is meant to help prepare our workforce within the USA to take care of older adults.” — Melissa (05:15-05:36) Many of the residential fellows will have some type of congressional Experience for their fellowship. They either serve in the office of a member of the House of Representatives or a member of the Senate. All of that depends on what your interest and area of expertise is. That drives making those decisions. You write your proposal and then if you’re selected to interview, then you may end up being selected as a fellow for the upcoming year. Once you are a fellow, first you have a five-week orientation in Washington, D.C. where you go and stay in D.C. for that period of time. The first week of the orientation is with the Health and Aging Policy Fellowship program itself, as well as Academy Health. Then you have four weeks where you are learning about the current issues in Congress, the actual legislative process, the great refresher from US history when you were in high school. You’ll get a chance to go to the Library of Congress and go to different offices and agencies within the US government. Part Two of ‘Health and Aging Policy Fellow Experience’ Melissa had the chance to visit CMS, which is the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and Maryland State House to watch the legislative process at the state level, to get an idea of what and how things are compared to the state level and the federal level. She had a broad range of experiences of how policy moves through the process, and how the executive branch and legislative branches inform each other or are impacted by each other. And the role of the judicial branch as well. When you’re choosing your project, you’re looking to see what the current priorities are for the agency that you might want to work with and how you may fit into carving out some projects for yourself. “Advanced care planning is crucial because we are having more older adults within our family circle and communities.” —  Melissa  Melissa did the non-residential track but was able to have a legislative experience because she lived close enough to D.C. She served in the Senate on the Special Committee for Aging in the office of Senator Collins. One of their significant areas of interest for the Special Committee on Aging is Alzheimer’s disease and Alzheimer’s care, which fit with her professional background. The Senate Special Committee on Aging is interested in elder abuse, frauds, scams, pricing of insulin and other drugs. It was precisely the experience she wanted to have. She also helped to prepare for hearings, write briefs, and work on some of the bills that were going to be introduced, particularly the Geriatric Workforce Improvement Act. It is a piece of legislation. This is the only federally-funded program that helps prepare healthcare professionals in geriatrics. It’s meant to create programs around the United States to help prepare our workforce to take care of older adults. If you do a legislative experience and serve in a member of Congress or a House of Representative’s office, you have an opportunity to visit the state office in the home district of the member. During Melissa’s state visit, she was invited to do a presentation with people from the local Alzheimer’s Association and other members of the community that interested in Alzheimer’s care. That was a highlight for her as a nurse scientist to do her policy, visit and incorporate her work into that as well. How to Get Involved Melissa earned her Master of Science in Nursing as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) from the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) School of Nursing (SON) in 2000. She enjoyed working with the complex medical needs older adults experienced more than any other population, so after graduation, she started working with a geriatric practice in Wilmington, North Carolina. She worked full-time for five years as FNP in geriatric primary care across many long-term care settings (skilled nursing homes, assisted living, home, and office visits). She transitioned into academic nursing in 2005, joining the faculty at UNCW SON as a lecturer. She has maintained her clinical practice and board certification, while her primary roles have been as a Nurse Scientist and Nurse Educator. Find out more about her work at https://melissabphd.com/.

If you worked in foundation communications in the past thirty years, chances are that David Morse helped you – directly or indirectly. At the Pew Charitable Trusts, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and then the Atlantic Philanthropies, David helped advance the field of strategic communications like few others. Many of the modern concepts of communications strategy were born in his office or through the work of his consultants. David sits down with Eric to talk about the legacy of Frank Karel, his predecessor at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, how the field has developed over time, and he’ll give you a chuckle when discussing the freedom that working for a limited life foundation affords. We recorded this conversation earlier in the year, so if you want to buy him a drink to ask him about the old days, you’ll have to go to Norway to do it – David has hung up his flak jacket and now sips aquavit on the fjords.

My guest in this episode is Gara LaMarche who is one of the world’s leading voices on funding and philanthropy for social justice. Originally from Rhode island, Gara was the first in his family to go to college and he became the youngest person ever to serve on an ACLU policy committee. During his college years at Colombia he says he was a reluctant student and spent much of his time teaching at a nursery school in Harlem which he credits as being one of the most formative experiences of his distinguished career. As a former CEO of the Atlantic Philanthropies, a former director of U.S programs for the Open Society Institute, and now the President of the Democracy Alliance, Gara has overseen the investment of tens of millions of dollars into social justice programs around the world. He has also worked with Pen America and Human Rights Watch, and is currently the chair of StoryCorps. I first met Gara several years ago when he was visiting Dublin as part of his work with Atlantic Philanthropies and it was great to catch-up with him again during my recent trip to New York where I interviewed him in the StoryCorp offices in Brooklyn. ........ ...........
