Podcast appearances and mentions of emily cohen

In this episode of Mindful Creative Podcast, host Radim Malinic speaks with Emily Cohen and her daughter Hunter Vargas of Casa Davka, business consultants for creative professionals. They discuss how creative businesses can evolve and grow, focusing on the critical importance of relationship building over traditional "selling." Emily shares her journey from designer to consultant, while Hunter explains how she naturally found her way to the family business despite initially carving her own path.The conversation explores how creative business owners often struggle with business development, preferring to redesign websites or create marketing materials rather than building the personal relationships that truly drive business growth. Emily and Hunter emphasize that clients choose creative partners primarily because of relationships and trust ("building the love"), not just portfolios or pricing.They challenge common myths in the creative industry, particularly the idea that hiring salespeople is effective (it rarely works) and that business development brings immediate results (it typically takes two years from first meeting to becoming a client). The pair discusses how to help introverted creatives approach relationship building in ways that feel natural and authentic.Key takeaways Creative business owners should position themselves as business people first, designers secondEffective positioning requires identifying unique industry niches, services, and genuine differentiators"Building the love" through authentic relationships is more valuable than traditional sales approachesBusiness development is a daily habit that feeds the business engine continuouslyPatience is crucial - relationship building typically takes two years to convert contacts to clientsPrinciples/founders must do their own relationship building; salespeople rarely succeed in creative businessesCreatives should stop comparing themselves to others and focus on their unique strengthsDesigners should capture and communicate metrics and results, not just creative decisionsBeing ready for change is essential for creative businesses looking to evolveCreative business consultants should practice what they preach in their own business approach Mindful Creative: How to understand and deal with the highs and lows of creative life, career and business Paperback and Kindle > https://amzn.to/4biTwFcFree audiobook (with Audible trial) > https://geni.us/free-audiobookSigned books https://novemberuniverse.co.ukLux Coffee Co. https://luxcoffee.co.uk/ (Use: PODCAST for 15% off)November Universe https://novemberuniverse.co.uk (Use: PODCAST for 10% off)

In March, hunter Cody Roberts ran over a gray wolf with his snowmobile and brought the animal into a bar in Daniel - about an hour south of Jackson. He was fined $250 by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department for “possession of a live animal.” In April, KHOL reporter Dante Filpula Ankney sat down with KHOL's Emily Cohen, who first reported the story, and Wyofile reporter Mike Koshmrl to talk about the role of wolves in Wyoming. 

On this week's episode: KHOL's Dante Filpula Ankney and Jenna McMurtry hit the polls to talk to voters in both Wilson and Jackson about what was on their minds as they cast their ballots. Those voters include: Marge Glick, Alex Coosaia, Anne Jones, Karyn Chin, Rachel Miller, Keith Cozzens, Milli Dawson, Margaret Gordon and Annette Robertson. KHOL's Emily Cohen attended two election watch parties in Jackson. At the Teton County Democratic Party's event at the Wort Hotel we hear from Maggie Hunt, Clare Stumpf and commissioner elects Natalia Macker and Len Carlman. At the Teton County Republican Party's event at Sidewinders we hear from Cornelius Kingsley, Ray Espinoza and John Farrell. Wyoming Public Radio's Nicky Ouellet reports some Wyomingites, especially those with the political action committee Wyoming Election Integrity, have been pushing for ballots to be hand counted. She spoke with Campbell County Clerk Cindy Lovelace who hosted the group for a test trial to estimate the time, cost and manpower. Lastly, emotions tend to run high during election season spanning political lines and into each and every home. Those emotions, often more than reason, determine our decision-making, including how we vote. KGNU's Susan Moran spoke with University of Colorado Boulder psychology professor Leaf Van Boven about exactly that.

Joining Jill and Doron on our 28th episode, the tenth of our second season, to tell us her story is British entrepreneur and Israel warrior Emily Cohen. Emily completed her A-Levels at Surbiton High School in Surrey, and thereafter - rather than go to university - chose to start working, in public relations.  She began at the Lynne Franks agency in London, advising mainly showbiz and other celebrity clients.  She then ran Hilton Hotels' London press office, from where she moved to head European PR for the Planet Hollywood restaurants chain.  Next, Emily founded Pout Cosmetics, which Victoria's Secret acquired eight years later.  She then consulted for fellow Carmel alumnus Sir Philip Green, and created a Top Shop cosmetics brand.  17 years ago, she co-founded and acted as creative director of the kids' fashion label Sunuva.  Since October 7, she has come back full circle to her PR roots in support of Israel, focusing on people rather than politics.  She and her husband Roy, an Israeli-American, have been married for twenty years, with two children.  They live in Queens Park, and have a second home in Tel Aviv.   Hear Emily talk about her highly irregular Carmel induction, ‘mansara' living, impersonating MeatLoaf on Purim, her suspension for being the beacon of tuck, ‘Earth, Wind & Fire' 4ever, a very cheeky birthday card, showing Arnold around Tel Aviv, Kylie Minogue's pouty red lip gloss, fielding an unexpected call from Sir Philip Green, and life as an Israel warrior.   Thank you, Emily Cohen, for turning us again to Carmel days!   Personal mentions in this episode: Rabbi Jeremy Rosen (Headmaster) Vera Rosen (Housemistress) Ron Evans (Mathematics) Mary Evans (Mathematics) Anthony Barr Taylor (Biology & Girls' Hockey Coach) Ann Munday (Mathematics) Nigel McLoughlin (School House Master & Rowing Coach) Penny Shield (Housemistress) Marc Katz Trevor Racke Sarah Reichmann (Poodle) Esther Fireman Tamara (Tammy) Lange Denise Stanton Dana Shaul Jonathan Cohen Lior Ehrlich Jimmy Collins Jane Collins Damien Sonning Andrew Sonning Jamie Sonning Philippe Weissberg Marcus Flacks Emma Goldstone Paul Goldin Danny Friedman Danny Rubens Roberto Douer Elie Chodos Andrew Rabin Philip Green Kenny Wax   Feel free to leave a comment letting us know what you liked about this episode, and rate us on your favorite podcast platform

On this edition of Peace Talks Radio, we explore solutions to gun violence in the U.S. from three perspectives - academic, policy and on the streets. Since 2020 firearms have been the leading cause of death in the US for youth. One of the most promising models to address gun violence is Community Violence Intervention (CVI). CVI programs use a localized approach, identify those who are at the highest risk and work to reduce violence through targeted interventions and peer outreach. Emily Cohen speaks with Chico Tillmon, PhD, of the University of Chicago's Crime Lab and a leader in the CVI field, as well as Nick Wilson, a senior director for Gun Violence Prevention at American Progress, where he leads the organization's efforts to reduce gun violence and shrink the footprint of the criminal justice system while improving public health and safety. Also featured are outreach workers Billy Deal, Rodney Phillips, James Mitchell and Nyedra Turner of the Metropolitan Peace Initiatives on their new podcast Streets, Beatz and Peace.

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that does a great Jack Black impression. This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) hangs out solo with Gabby and Emily Cohen of The Butch Boudoir Project to talk about why the 2006 romcom The Holiday Should've Been Gay.  When Gabby realized there was a disappointing lack of butch representation in boudoir photoshoots (and in media in general), she decided right then to change that. This idea grew into the Butch Boudoir Project, an ongoing movement to empower #Butch & #Masculine people across different gender identities, celebrating their #identity, #sexuality, and #visibility. It is so rare for media to show butches in a positive and attractive light and The Butch Boudoir Project aims to change that. The project showcases butch people going about their regular lives, providing affirmation for not only butches but also for the people who are attracted to them. And honestly, what more could a butch lover ask for than a super dykey early aughts Jude Law? There is so little butch representation in movies to this day, but we won't let that stop us from creating our own. The Holiday follows the story of Amanda (Cameron Diaz) and Iris (Kate Winslet), two tragic-in-love women trapped in their heteronormative lives who decide to shake things up by switching homes. Instead of doing what we all want (ie. falling in love with one another), Amanda and Iris find the absolute dykiest men to fall for. Neither of these women has ever managed to have a successful relationship with a man and we 100% know why. We make our own gay version of the movie by simply gender swapping the male love interests, although we ideally still want to ship Amanda with Iris.  We know one thing for sure, The Holiday Should've Been Gay.  Follow us on Twitter: (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay questions at the end of every episode.

By turns funny, serious, and seriously funny, L'Italiana in Algeri is a fascinating assembly of romantic tropes: a spurned wife, a shipwrecked lover, a pirate king, and a daring escape.  At the same time, it deals with serious themes of agency, power, and silence.  Set in a world that is both alien and familiar, this opera has something to say to all of us. Guest co-host Emily Cohen, executive director of Opera For Everyone's home station KHOL, joins us for an opera in which she once performed!

As the build out of infrastructure for electric passenger vehicles gets underway, another segment of transportation is just starting down the road to electrification: heavy duty trucks. It's one of the hard-to-decarbonize parts of our economy. Right now, nearly all long-haul trucks run on fossil fuels. And if we continue with business as usual, freight will become the highest-emitting part of the transportation sector by 2050. That's why seven states, led by California, have mandated that an increasing number of zero-emission trucks be sold between now and 2035. What does the road to zero emissions trucking look like?  Guests:  Ray Minjares, Heavy-Duty Vehicles Program Director, International Council on Clean Transportation  Mike Roeth, Executive Director, North American Council for Freight Efficiency Chris Shimoda, Senior Vice President, California Trucking Association Adam Browning, Executive VP, Forum Mobility Rudy Diaz, CEO, Hight Logistics This episode features a freelance piece from Emily Cohen in Wyoming on trucker views on EVs For show notes and related links, visit https://www.climateone.org/audio/road-zero-emissions-trucking Learn more about your ad choices.

Jason is solo hosting Talksicology this week, as Joseph is busy running three Recovery Unplugged facilities. Even though we miss Joseph, we're glad to have an expert like Jason for our special guest Emily Cohen! Jason and Emily relate about their different experiences with addicted family members, and their very similar experiences with ADHD. Emily has been a therapist and social worker, but says she didn't really find out who she was as a person until she began her recovery journey after years of codependency and PTSD. While both Jason and Emily can talk about their experience with family members who have struggled with addiction, Emily says that sometimes getting sober isn't enough. If you stop doing drugs but don't start working on yourself, you're still going to end up hurting the people around you. So how do you break the cycle? How do you become the version of yourself you haven't even met yet? Finally being in a stable, loving relationship can be a big turning point, but then it's up to you to keep the good going. Tune in to episode 65 of Talksicology for a reality check that will shake you out of your slump, and to hear tips and tricks for how Jason and Emily are working with their ADHD - and over packing for every trip they've ever taken.

In many urban settings, there is a significant unhoused population on the streets. According to the some recent data, more than half a million people in the United States are unhoused. Many of us want to help but may feel conflicted about how. On this Peace Talks Radio episode, correspondent Emily Cohen explores the dynamics of homelessness with three guests working to assist people living on the street, including Miranda Twitchell who is a leader in the unsheltered community in which she has lived on and off for the past several years in Salt Lake City. Also, we'll speak with Eva Thibaudeau-Graczyk, a social worker and the executive director of the Temenos Community Development Corporation. Temenos is a nonprofit in Houston that provides long-term housing and support services for people facing chronic homelessness, following a model known as Housing First.. And we talk with Wren Fialka, the founder of the nonprofit Spread the Love that distributes personal care, clothing and hygiene supplies to unhoused people.

On Today's Episode: Emily Sanders Cohen talks with Nico Johnson about her 20-plus years of renewable project development, including more than 15 gigawatts of operational wind & solar projects. Emily has spent the past three years at Primergy Solar as Chief Development Officer, responsible for project development, power marketing and origination activities associated with the company's growing portfolio of North American utility-scale and distributed solar and storage assets. Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners, a specialist investor in lower carbon and renewable energy infrastructure, launched Primergy in 2020 to capitalize on the increasingly important role of solar-plus-battery storage solutions in accelerating the energy transition.In today's podcast, Emily discusses Primergy's battery storage projects (Including Gemini, the largest Solar + Storage project in the US) and how the company's work is helping us transition to a cleaner, decarbonized electric grid.

In this podcourse, I am joined by Emily Cohen, M.A., CCC-SLP. She is the founder of Tandem Speech Therapy, a pediatric speech therapy practice in Austin, TX and the creator of the Playing With Purpose® framework. Before Emily opened her own practice in 2017, she worked for more than ten years in pediatric clinics in Michigan and Austin. While an undergraduate at Indiana University—Bloomington, Emily studied special education. Upon graduating, she worked in the public schools for a few years before returning for a Master's Degree in Speech-Language Pathology. Although Emily enjoyed teaching, her favorite part of her job was forming meaningful relationships with kids and their families. She knew she could help even more families as a speech-language pathologist. Her previous work with kids with special needs continues to inform her pediatric speech therapy practice. When she's not working, Emily loves to travel, cook and eat, and stroll through Zilker Park with her husband and their 2 dogs. As a result of this activity, participants will learn strategies for parent coaching, describe child led play and playing with purpose, name strategies for supporting language growth during child led play, and identify types of toys and books that support language growth.

KHOL's Emily Cohen speaks to contemporary pioneering women, including the first woman on the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort ski patrol and Wyoming's first Native American woman to run for national office, about how they've pushed boundaries in a landscape of extremes.   Jackson Unpacked airs locally at 89.1 FM or via live-stream Mondays at 7:30 a.m., Tuesdays at 3 p.m., Fridays at 7:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. and Sundays at 12:30 p.m. Support Jackson's only nonprofit newsroom by becoming a member of KHOL today.

But Wyoming's only cidery, Farmstead Cider in Jackson, is looking to change that, presenting a new model for sustainable agriculture–all while pushing the boundaries of culinary palates. KHOL's Emily Cohen explores how climate change is impacting Farmstead's business model in some unexpected ways, as well as how the cidery helps mitigate human-wildlife conflict.   Jackson Unpacked airs locally at 89.1 FM or via live-stream Mondays at 7:30 a.m., Tuesdays at 3 p.m., Fridays at 7:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. and Sundays at 12:30 p.m. Support Jackson's only nonprofit newsroom by becoming a member of KHOL today.

Learn effective business strategies for agencies, creatives and freelancers with “Brutally Honest” author, Emily Cohen.

Four days a week, Roney de la Cruz drives a bus of mostly Latino students to a bilingual pre-school. His route represents how a wave of immigration, primarily from Mexico, has transformed the workforce, schools and broader community of Jackson Hole since the mid-1990s. In this episode, KHOL's Kyle Mackie digs into the local history of immigration and shares stories of how Latino immigrants and first-generation residents are putting down roots and making Jackson home.   This episode was made in collaboration with Stio, stewards of the mountain life. It was reported and produced by Kyle Mackie, with additional reporting by Natalie Schachar and Alicia Unger. KHOL's Will Walkey and Emily Cohen provided editorial and production support. The episode contained original music scoring by Sheena and Jacob Ferguson. Creative direction and executive production support provided by Stio's Liz Barrett and Jessie Van der Linden.

At first glance, Wyoming life may seem all about powder and pitches, guns and gear. It's home to North America's apex predators, some of the steepest mountains in the Rockies and lots of opportunities for an adrenaline rush. So, it may come as little surprise that Wyoming's male-to-female ratio is the second-highest in the U.S., after only Alaska. But Wyoming's women have been breaking boundaries ever since the state was the first to grant women the right to vote in 1869. In this episode, KHOL's Emily Cohen speaks to contemporary pioneering women, including the first woman on the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort ski patrol and Wyoming's first Native American woman to run for national office about how they've pushed boundaries in this landscape of extremes.   This episode was made in collaboration with Stio, stewards of the mountain life.

Meet Sam, Connor, Hunter and Gavin, some of the students at Red Top Meadows, a residential treatment center near Wilson that serves Wyoming boys aged 12-17 who have gotten in trouble with the law or are having behavioral issues at school. Red Top is unique in Wyoming because it incorporates wilderness therapy into its program. In this episode, KHOL's Kyle Mackie shadows the boys on a fall trail maintenance project and listens while they share their stories of growth and healing outdoors.   This episode was made in collaboration with Stio, stewards of the mountain life.

A small population of bighorn sheep persits in the Teton range during the winter under impossible conditions–often above 10,000 feet. Local wildlife biologists, who have been painstakingly tracking the population for decades, say the herd is in danger and are proposing backcountry closures to try and give the sheep some space. This effort to conserve the herd is pitting some skiers against conservationists in emotional public discourse. As KHOL's Will Walkey reports, the entire controversy examines the very core of what it means for humans to interact with public lands.   This episode was made in collaboration with Stio, stewards of the mountain life.

Emily Cohen runs a community radio station in the state of Wyoming called the Jackson Hole Community Radio.

Liza Jane is perhaps the most recorded song in America.Emily has worked in teaching, city planning and ecological design.

Play-Based Speech Therapy can open the door to so much interaction. My guest, Emily Cohen, talks about using Play-Based Therapy with her clients and all of the benefits it can provide. Emily Cohen works with families with children as young as 15 months old, coaching the parents. We talk about all the elements of play, interaction, and language and I share some pretty cute anecdotes from my therapy experiences with play. Engagement is such a huge part, and the more they are engaged the more meaningful their learning will be. Imitation and nonverbal imitation can be the start of engaging in play. Emily shares the idea of a mirror “game”,  sitting in front of a mirror practicing making large body movements, and even using hand over hand when needed. Patience, flexibility, and following the child's lead is key when creating an engaging play space for therapy. Kids may not always use or interpret toys or activities in the way we expect things which can make for even more enriching experiences.Stay away from toys that have batteries. When we are interacting with a child and a toy that has all the bells and whistles, moving and making noise, the toy ends up doing the work. Go back to basics and allow the student to use the toy as a prop so that you can truly build new and meaningful interaction.Interaction comes before language, so there are so many opportunities for skills in play even nonverbally. As a speech therapist, Emily coaches parents on playing with their children and working with their kids to find these opportunities. Her advice for parents is to remind them that they are their child's best teacher, every time their child is watching them is an opportunity for learning.What's Inside:Play-Based Speech TherapyFollowing the child's leadOpen-Ended ToysFacilitating social, play, and language interactionInteraction before language
