Life is full of unplanned partnerships-- for Fanon and Leon, it’s thanks to their amazing snowboarding trip to Chile that they ended up where they are now, with a venture called Epic Life. What started out as a small group of friends, quickly snowballed into an event with over a hundred fellow adventurers. Inspired by the idea of new journeys, they aspire to constantly provide new experiences in unique locations across the world. As the world continues to fight the coronavirus, they’ve had to make big changes and even put a pause to some of their adventures, but spending it preparing for the day that we’ll finally be allowed back to experience the world once again. Listen in on our conversation as we talk about how and why they started Epic Life, their growing pains and challenges, and finally how they grew to love snowboarding. Episode Highlights: How the Pandemic affected Epic Life and their events Why they started Epic Life and how they organize events Their marketing strategy Platforms they used to connect to fellow adventurers Their growing pains and challenges they faced as a team Each of their stories getting into snowboarding Guest Bio: Fanon is from Los Angeles, California. Currently, he’s an associate professor of history and American studies in the graduate school of Global Studies at Doshisha University in Koto, Japan. After a graduate degree from Morehouse College, he went on to receive a Masters Degree from Syracuse University, and a PhD from New York University. Most of his research is focused on the global contours of the black freedom movement in the 1960s, and black expressive culture. He’s a father of two, and enjoys the outdoors as an avid adventurer and bat country snowboarder. Leon hails from the Motor City of Detroit, Michigan but was raised in Akron, Ohio. He graduated high school and joined the army, where he learned order, discipline, and direction. He graduated from the University of Akron with a Bachelors of Science in Engineering, and went on to serve his city by joining the Department of Public Safety. Ontop of all this, he’s snowboarded across the United States, South America, the Japanese Alps, the Canadian Rockies, and the French Alps. Epic Life was founded in 2014  by Fanon and Leon following an amazing snowboarding trip to Chile the previous year. After spending significant time in the North American Rockies and the South American Andes, Fanon and Leon decided to bring some of our closest friends to the powder fields of Hokkaido, Japan. What began as a modest ski/snowboard tour for a couple of dozen people quickly morphed into nearly 100 adventurers. From the first trip to Niseko United in 2014, it was Epic from the beginning and has grown exponentially ever since. Via social media and word of mouth Fanon and Leon   have taken hundreds of Epic Lifers to Japan to experience its unparalleled powder and refined Japanese hospitality. Although their roots are in the mountains, their spirits are driven by a profound sense of adventure and global exploration in community. They  not only travel together but we live to party even harder. I can attest there is nothing like an Epic Life Happy Hour or a late night gathering during our fun-filled trips.

We begin with special tribute to George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Sandra Bland, and Eleanor Bumpurs dating back to the 1980s, all killed by the police. ABSOLUTELY Black Lives Matter! I hope y'all are taking part in the massive organizing and activism that we are seeing. Special shout-out to my friends Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson, Carissa Lewis, Charlene Carruthers, Alicia Garza, and all the other Black women leading the struggle on the ground. The International Women's Network against Militarism Today's show is titled “Paradise Militarized.” In my show on Memorial Day, my guests discussed the importance of remembering all the unrecognized and unknow casualties of US wars and militarism. We talked about the lands that the US military is currently occupying and devastation to both human and natural life as a direct result. Today we deepen that discussion by sharing more details about three sets of islands in the Pacific Ocean. Okinawa was first colonized by Japan in the 19th Century and now is home to 75% of US military presence in Japan. Guahan, known by most people outside as Guam, is a current colony of the US, and Hawai'i was colonized by US also in the 19th century and was annexed as the 50th state in 1959. As you are listening, please ask yourselves these questions: What do Guahan, Hawai'i, and Okinawa have to do with colonization and imperialism, with anti-Blackness and liberation of  Black and other people and communities of color in the US?  We'll be asking you to rethink the various aspects of the military apparatus in the US, from the war-based economy and military spending, to environmental impacts of wars and military operations, and the systems, tactics, and cities' budgets for policing. Most important, we'll  be urging you make the connections between “here” and “there”, the relationships between domestic policy and foreign policy, and ultimately to imagine what real security, all the way from in your lives and communities to the entire country and the world, would look and feel like. Especially for women. I am in conversation today with long-time feminist activists and professors Lisa Natividad speaking to us from Guahan, and Kim Compoc who is in Honolulu. We will also listen to a recorded interview with professor Kozue Akibayashi in Japan. They are all members of the International Women's Network against Militarism along with their respective organizations. Dr. Kozue Akibayashi is a feminist researcher/activist and has worked on issues of gender and peace. She is a professor at Graduate School of Global Studies, Doshisha University in Kyoto, Japan, and a member of Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. Dr. Kim Compoc is Assistant Professor in the Department of History, University of Hawaiʻi at West Oahu. Her research focuses on U.S. empire in the Philippines, Hawaiʻi and Oceania; Asian/American Studies /literatures, as well as diasporic Filipinx Studies with an emphasis on Indigenous, Feminist, and Queer critique. Dr. Lisa Linda Natividad is Professor in the Division of Social Work at the University of Guam. She is also the President of the Guahan Coalition for Peace and Justice. She has delivered interventions to the United Nations on issues of militarization, colonization, and indigenous peoples' rights.

El propósito del podcast es transmitir los valores que inspiran nuestra organización En el episodio de hoy, hemos elegido a Marcos Cartagena como mentor que nos inspira. Nació en la Provincia de Alicante y a los 18 años ya soñaba con vivir en Japón. Diez años tuvieron que pasar para que pudiera hacer su sueño realidad, pero al final, en 2010 hizo las maletas y se fue. Después de cursar sus estudios de Ciencias Empresariales en la Universidad de Alicante, se formó durante un año en la Doshisha University of Kyoto. En total ha vivido durante 4 años en Japón y ha tenido múltiples experiencias allí que le han permitido conocer en profundidad la cultura japonesa. Fue el primer y único extranjero en formar parte del Club de Karate Japonés dónde después de un año de entrenamiento y habiendo entrado como cinturón marrón, consiguió el cinturón negro de Karate. Un gran orgullo dado que es la cuna de dicho arte marcial. Ha vivido durante casi un año con una familia de japoneses que le permitieron conocer el verdadero corazón de Japón. Fue uno de los integrantes de la iniciativa SpainPadel Project, a través de la cual se introdujo por primera vez el padel en Japón que hasta el momento, era un deporte desconocido. Lleva más de 16 años conectado al país Nipón a través de los cuales ha aprendido el idioma, su caligrafía, el arte del origami e incluso, ha visitado la isla de Okinawa para entrevistar de primera mano a las personas más longevas del mundo y aprender de ellos los hábitos para lograrlo. En 2017 cursó Master de Emprendedores en el Instituto Pensamiento Positivo de Sergio Fernández para conocer las claves de porque unos negocios funcionan y otros no, siendo las mismas personas las que los ejecutan. Junto con su hermano Antonio, en 2016 fundó www.descubriendojapon.com, una agencia especialista en organizar viajes con alma a Japón para personas que quieren conectar con la esencia del país. En 2019 escribió su libro el Sistema Hanasaki, los 9 pilares de Japón para una vida centenaria con sentido, que en menos de 1 año ha llegado a su sexta edición y se ha traducido al italiano. Os invito a ver el Video de la presentación del libro que tuvo lugar en Madrid. Sinceramente me gustó mucho la conferencia que incluso, tiene una Kata de Karate en directo incluida. Lo podéis encontrar en su web personal https://marcoscawratagena.com Esperamos que os guste la entrevista tanto como a nosotros.

Hey guys! It is Aiko with Schwagirl. I am an American English pronunciation coach. Welcome to my podcast "The Voice of English" The purpose of this podcast is to encourage English learners and also English teachers. We all share tips and points of how we can improve our English and become better communicators. In Episode 17, I invited Kaz based in DC, the US. The coauthor of Eigonodo, Kaz is a data analyst with more than 20 years of research experience. As a senior manager of a consulting firm in DC area, he works on evaluation projects of educational intervention programs. His expertise includes research design, data collection, data analysis, and SAS programming. He graduated Doshisha University and taught English as a high school teacher in Osaka for two years. He earned a Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Chicago in 2000. He coauthored Eigonodo and teaches how to relax the throat to help Japanese learners to speak better English. The book also teaches how to read syllables like native speakers of English. He is originally from Hiroshima and speaks Japanese, English, and Spanish. He is also learning French and Chinese.

That way, you will be less nervous. English speakers usually listen to people quietly and they do not do much "aizuchi" You do not have to try to say something funny or interesting. Focus on being friendly Choppy sounds are hard to listen to. Use your throat to prolong vowels English pronunciation is also about posture, living, being and attitude Sleep on your side so that your breathing and voice will become deeper Practice the thing you want to be good at Count syllables. The number of syllables = the number of vowels. Diphthongs are counted as one vowel.

As China continues to slowly use a variety of tools to claim portions of her maritime near-abroad in the South China Sea and elsewhere, part of their effort includes what can almost be considered naval irregular forces - a Maritime Militia.What is China doing with these assets, why are they being used, and what could we expect going forward as she taps in to a variety of assets to attempt to establish her authority?Our guest for the full hour to discuss this and more will be Dr. Andrew S.

I should apologize for not making any new shows...it's been almost 10 months! This show is an overview of my plans for this year's podcasts. **Reminder to my listeners** This podcast is primarily aimed at my students at Doshisha University, in Kyoto, Japan. However, if you have any comments please feel free to write. Thanks to those who already commented. Don't worry about your English! :-) I'll try to get some minimal pairs typed into a Word .doc file in the near future. I'll upload some documents (no show scripts, sorry, everything is unscripted!) and I'll put a link here in the future. Thanks for your patience! -- Matt
