In this twelfth episode, host Emily Harwitz takes a closer look at the fuel that drives conservation. Funding, of course, is essential, and two of the main sources of conservation funding are government agencies and philanthropy. Today's guests—Ben Friedman and Geenah Leslie—are experts in those areas, from the state and federal levels to the local level. They're also experts at cultivating relationships, because that's the real foundation of this work: building relationships based on shared values and a commitment to making the world a better place, for all of us. From what's in the upcoming Proposition 4 Climate Bond to the many benefits our urban trees provide, we hope this final episode of Season 4 gives you lots to be hopeful for. Ben Friedman is the government affairs and public grants officer of Save the Redwoods League. Prior to the League, Ben led grantmaking in California for Western Conservation Foundation. He also has worked at the Wilderness Society and on Capitol Hill on the House Committee for Natural Resources. Ben's education background is in geology and environmental management. In his spare time, Ben likes going to the beach with his wife Lauren and his dog Lobo, and baking seasonal pies. Geenah-Marie Leslie (she/her) was born and raised in the ancestral lands of the Tongva People, presently known as Los Angeles. As the proud child of Jamaican immigrants, she was brought up to believe that she should never allow her gender or the color of her skin deter her from pursuing her wildest dreams. Her passion for the healing benefits of nature and connecting People of Color to the outdoors led to her working in the environmental justice field. In her professional tenure, she has played a crucial role in donor relations, fund development, and piloting successful community engagement initiatives. Her free time is typically spent by large bodies of water, listening to an Afrofuturistic audiobook, or psp-psp-psping a cat on the street. Find her on Instagram @geenah_leslie or on LinkedIn

Welcome to Film School Dropout, where film critic Ben Friedman and today's guest Variety's Senior Awards Editor Clayton Davis ( @ByClaytonDavis ) embark on a profound journey into the world of cinema and faith. In this video, we'll be delving deep into Martin Scorsese's thought-provoking masterpiece, "Silence." This film is a testament to Scorsese's own faith, as well as a meditation on themes of faith, doubt, and the devout nature of his filmmaking as a Catholic. Follow Clayton Davis All Social Media Platforms: @ByClaytonDavis Variety: https://variety.com/author/clayton-davis/ Martin Scorsese, an iconic director known for classics like "Taxi Driver" and "Goodfellas," took a significant departure from his usual gangster genre with "Silence." Released in 2016, this epic work is a cinematic adaptation of Shusaku Endo's novel of the same name. At its heart, "Silence" is a story of two Jesuit priests, Father Rodrigues and Father Garupe, portrayed by Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver, who embark on a perilous mission to find their mentor, played by the incredible Liam Neeson, in 17th century Japan, a country where Christianity is outlawed. As a devout Catholic, the themes of faith, doubt, and the silent presence of God have long been a central part of Scorsese's life. In this video, we'll explore how his faith has influenced not only the making of this film but also his entire cinematic career. We'll also examine how the film addresses the complex interplay between faith, cultural differences, and the clash of belief systems, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of rural Japan. Martin Scorsese's personal connection to the material shines through, making this work a testament to his lifelong exploration of faith, doubt, and the human condition. Don't miss this opportunity to explore the devout nature of Scorsese's filmmaking and the profound themes at the heart of "Silence."

Thus, Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver lives in infamy due to its complicated connected to the assassination attempt. With 'Killers of the Flower Moon' just weeks away, film critic Ben Friedman is joined by filmmaker, actor, and founder of production company GTE Productions Mariah Owen to discuss maybe the most controversial movie of the 20th century: Taxi Driver. Directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Paul Schrader, Taxi Driver stars Robert De Niro as Travis Bickle, a vigilante taxi driver out to save Iris, a 12 year old prostitute played by Jodie Foster. Harvey Keitel, Cybill Shepherd, and Albert Brooks co-star. Maybe you know Taxi Driver because this is the movie that supposedly inspired John Hinckley Jr. to shoot President Ronald Reagan, and how Martin Scorsese's film was unfairly blamed as dangerous.

The U.S. military has over 270,000 troops currently deployed across the globe, including in 17 countries that the public up until now didn't even know about. Our guest this week, Ben Friedman, a senior analyst with Defense Priorities, takes on the Washington shibboleth that we couldn't possibly start bringing any of those troops home — particularly the thousands in the Middle East and Europe — because they would leave "power vacuums." He argues that even if there is a "security gap" left in our place, there are regional powers that can step into the breach. In the first segment, Daniel and Kelley talk about the demise of 'interim president' Juan Guaido of Venezuela.More from Ben Friedman:When courting quasi-allies like Ukraine becomes a moral hazard, with Natalie Armbruster, Responsible Statecraft, 12/28/22Don't fear vacuum: it's safe to go home, Defense Priorities, 12/7/22The case for getting rid of the National Security Strategy, with Justin Logan, War on the Rocks, 11/4/22 This is a public episode.
