In this episode of Leadership That Sells, I'm joined by the ever-curious and charismatic Jack Cohen — mentor capitalist, strategic consultant, pilot, black belt, and author of Freedom Frameworks. Jack's story is one of relentless skill acquisition, diverse experience, and a deep commitment to serving others. We dig into what it really takes to grow a team, a career and a company — and it all comes down to tools, frameworks and a very particular mindset. We talk about how the most interesting people do the most interesting business, why leadership is about creating pull energy not pushing tasks, and how to lead your life (and your people) with intention. If you've ever found yourself managing without a clear north star or repeating the same year of experience over and over — this one's for you. We get into how to use frameworks to manage yourself before managing others, the reason context is king, and how to turn success into wisdom by sharing it. Jack shares why he wrote Freedom Frameworks, what Batman taught him about business, and how you can use “pull energy” to get your people to move faster and more effectively — and most importantly, in the right direction. How to create pull energy to accelerate your team's growth Define a compelling vision of the future — not just goals, but a vivid story of success. Begin with the end in mind to activate intrinsic motivation. Create “pull energy” by connecting people emotionally to outcomes they care about. Build context around your content — people act faster when they understand why. Apply simple frameworks to manage yourself, then use those to support your team. Reframe challenges as opportunities — your language shapes their reality.

Over the past several years, most of the returns in real estate have been generated because of declining interest rates and cap rates. If you just held on to properties long enough, even without successfully executing on a business plan, you fared well. However, an oversupply of capital resulted in overly unrealistic underwriting for both lenders and operators, and distress has ensued. In more recent years, the tide has changed, and a much higher degree of expertise is required to be successful. Jack Cohen, Managing Director of ArrowMark Partners, and prior owner of Cohen Financial, has a 40+ career in commercial real estate lending and investing, and was one of the largest commercial real estate lenders in the nation. 

In this episode, I sat down with Jack Cohen, Head of Jewish Education at Hebrew Academy high school in Miami Beach, to talk about what it really takes to lead and educate in today's world. Jack didn't come from the typical background—he grew up outside the traditional Jewish system and found his way into it later, which gives him a different lens. Where most people see a tug-of-war between individuality and tradition, Jack doesn't. He sees them as deeply connected, even dependent on each other—and once he explains it, I doubt you'll be able to see it any other way. His whole life and message are about harmony—Tiferet in its truest sense. Not by accident, but through both the circumstances life handed him and the intentional choices he's leaned into. He roots his ideas in Torah, in higher education, and in real-world experience. It's not just talk—it's integrated, lived. And what an appropriate time to release this conversation—during the Sefira cycle of Tiferet, when balance, truth, and beauty are at the center. We talked identity, mental health, humility, and what it means to lead without ego. Grounded, honest, and refreshingly unpolished.See you on the other side,Eli

What if leadership wasn't a title, but a toolbelt?In this insightful and energizing episode, Denis sits down with Jack Cohen, founder of Dark Knight Ventures and former CEO of Cohen Financial, to unpack the deeper essence of leadership. Jack brings decades of wisdom across real estate, finance, and entrepreneurship, and a unique perspective shaped by Batman, bourbon, and his own “superhero complex.”Together, they explore why leadership must be seen as a verb, an active, evolving force, rather than a static noun. From redefining team success to challenging comfort-zone leadership, Jack offers powerful metaphors and hard-earned truths for leaders ready to stop reacting and start leading forward.Meet Jack Cohen: Investor, Operator, OptimizerFormer CEO of Cohen Financial, scaling it from $200M to $1BFounder of Dark Knight Ventures, a consultancy inspired by Batman's utility beltAuthor of The Freedom Framework and lifelong student of leadership and curiosityLeadership Is a Verb, Not a NounMany leaders “arrive” at a title and stop evolving; leadership must stay activeTrue leadership means guiding, guarding, and propping others upIt's about pulling others toward a shared future, not pushing them toward performanceCuriosity and Context: The Leader's SuperpowersJack's childhood heroes: Curious George and Batman (yes, really)Leadership today is about creating a context that others want to step intoThe quote that changed everything: “Follow the one who makes you curious where they're going.”Outcome Over Activity: Escaping the Tyranny of the PresentToo many teams are buried in busywork and tactical executionLeaders must rise above daily noise to see the long-term visionStrategy demands distance from the trenches, not deeper diggingFrom Sports Teams to Shareholders: What Real Leadership Looks LikeWhy the triangle of traditional hierarchy should be flippedGreat leaders leave a legacy by building coaching trees, not kingdomsLessons from John Wooden, Bill Walsh, and even controversial figures like Hitler and Trump, studied not for approval, but for insight into influenceKey Quotes:“Leadership is a verb, not a noun.” — Jack M.

In this episode, you'll learn: How to recognize the "demons" you carry and how to stop passing them down Why fear is just "false expectations appearing real" The difference between chasing goals and building a life of meaning How to start investing in yourself today — and why it's the best decision you'll make Guest Links:

Jack Cohen is a legend in commercial real estate. He is the DARK KNIGHT in commercial real estate. He was the former CEO of Cohen Financial for 25 years. Cohen Financial was one of the largest commercial real estate lenders in the nation. Jack chats about his 40+ year history in commercial real estate investing and lending. He brings interesting questions to the table: “When investors look at their investment processes, as well as the investments that they made during 2019-2024, what have they learned? What worked? What would they have done differently? ALL of us backed projects and sponsors during this period that ultimately played out very differently than we thought. Some played out better, some played out worse, than we thought. What can we learn from this? Can we finally agree that cash flow matters? That our space – Commercial – is defined by income producing real estate. That means we actually must underwrite tenants' capacity to pay rent as well as a sponsor's ability to manage expenses properly. SOFR has gone up and today the marketplace is mostly financed with short term floating rate loans. Did we not learn this lesson in the 1990's with the failure of Long-Term Capital Management? The punchline is to match duration of assets with liabilities. Borrowing short on a long-term asset has its risks.” WOW!!

In a health crisis, we often refer to our journey as a "battle." We may see ourselves as "warriors." This is true for those impacted by Alzheimer's and dementia. The diagnosis brings uncertainty, disruption, and fear. But what happens when you're dealing with dementia in the middle of a war zone? When airstrikes are the norm, and screeching sirens interrupt each day, warning you to seek safety and shelter in a minute or less? When ordinary life ceases and the top of mind issue is simply staying alive? Avoiding disaster? Breathing? On October 7th, Miriam Green, an AlzAuthor living in Israel, found her life as a caregiver turned upside down when terrorists invaded her country. In this podcast, she shares with us the horror and brutality of what occurred, how her country, her family, friends and community have been affected by this conflict, and how they are dealing with it. She is a mother, daughter, grandmother, and wife, and like most women juggles her responsibilities as best as she can on a good day. Now, she struggles to find peace in the chaos, searching for meaningful, uplifting moments, even hope, while carefully balancing her family's needs. We are grateful to her for speaking with us. We take no sides in this conflict and pray for a peaceful resolution soon. In this episode, you will: Learn how Miriam finds brief moments of solace and peace in the midst of warSee how her mother's care community maintains a routine and stability for their patients even in the most challenging of circumstances, giving them a sense of familiarity and security.Discover the unique challenges faced by caregivers who are helping to raise grandchildren while caring for aging parents in war timeGain insights into the power of hope and resilience in the face of adversity, and learn how to nurture these qualities within yourself and your care recipients About Miriam Green Miriam Greenis the author of The Lost Kitchen: Reflections and Recipes from an Alzheimer's Caregiver.

Liz and Ben are blessed by two returning guests, the Rev Dr Avril Hannah-Jones and Dr Charlotte Pezaro, as they go on one last visit to Roundworld - this time as clerics, wizards and librarians clash over who should take ownership. It's Terry Pratchett's fourth and final collaboration with Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen, 2013's The Science of Discworld IV: Judgement Day. Ponder Stibbons has just activated Unseen University's latest “Great Big Thing”, the culmination of six years' research (and spending) into the frontiers of magical knowledge. It summons a side effect: improbably-named librarian Marjorie Daw, from the even less probable universe in a bottle, Roundworld. Marjorie decides to stick around when she discovers her entire universe is under threat: the Church of the Latter-Day Omnians, who believe the Disc is round, think Roundworld should be theirs. After surviving elves and Auditors, will it be lawyers and priests who decide Roundworld's fate? This time in the (really short!) fiction chapters, the wizards barely visit Roundworld at all; Ridcully spends most of his time talking to Marjorie, before the last few chapters detail the trial - sorry, hearing - of the century. In the non-fiction chapters, Jack and Ian do talk about science...but mostly about religion. Their big idea this time revolves around Gregory Benford's ideas of human- and universe-centred thinking. As the fiction pits priests against wizards, you can probably see where this is going. We certainly could, and we'll be blunt: we didn't like it. Is this really a book about science? How do the authors' ideas of “religion” gel with yours - or even Pratchett's previous books and writing on the subject? What did you think of Marjorie Daw? Do you want us to do a special episode with Avril about Scott Morrison's book? And were we too harsh on this book? Join in the conversation using the hashtag #Pratchat71 on social media. Guest Rev Dr Avril Hannh-Jones (she/her) is a Minister in the Uniting Church. While she should be known for her tireless activism for marginalised communities, most people know her for the Church of the Latter Day Geek: an occasional service where science fiction and fantasy stories serve as parables, and cosplay is allowed in the pews. Avril previously appeared on Pratchat back in 2019 to discuss Small Gods in #Pratchat16. Avril posts weekly Reflections on her blog, Rev Doc Geek, tweets as @DocAvvers, and would love to see you at a Sunday service at North Balwyn Uniting Church. Guest Dr Charlotte Pezaro (she/her) is an educator with a PhD in pedagogy and years of experience communicating science and technology, and shaping how it is taught in Australian schools. She last joined us in 2021 for #Pratchat41 to discuss Nation, which is both Charlotte's and Pratchett's favourite Pratchett book. You can find out more about Charlotte at charlottepezaro.com, or her education work at dialogic.com.au. As usual, you can find notes and errata for this episode on our website. Next episode it's time for another short story: this time a young adult one Pratchett wrote for Diana Wynn Jones in 1989, “Turntables of the Night”. It was originally published in the anthology Hidden Turnings, but you'll most easily find it in Pratchett's short fiction collection A Blink of the Screen. We'll be discussing this tale of record collectors and DJs with superstar DJ and comedian, Andrew McClelland! Have a read and send us your questions using the hashtag #Pratchat72, or via email to chat@pratchatpodcast.com.

Avec Claire Duvivier, Guillaume Chamanadjian, Laure et Laurent KloetzerAnimation : Clément Pélissier Dans La Science du Disque-Monde (1999), Terry Pratchett s'interroge, avec Ian Stewart et Jack Cohen, sur l'existence d'un lien entre science et magie. Le narrativum, l'impératif de narration, met en effet la magie au service du déroulé d'une intrigue, c'est le cas dans le merveilleux des Contes comme ceux de Perrault, qui n'hésite pas à contrebalancer les effets surnaturels des bottes de Sept lieux par un soudain prosaïsme, et à jouer sur l'écart entre merveilleux et réalisme. Pourtant, la magie ou la sorcellerie, quand ils sont adossés au principe de causalité, ne relèvent ni du miracle, ni même du caractère délibérément arbitraire du merveilleux des contes de fée. Et à regarder l'évolution de la littérature de l'imaginaire, notamment en fantasy, on ne peut s'empêcher de remarquer que les grandes sagas populaires empruntent, peut-être de plus en plus, à cette logique : ainsi, dans Harry Potter, la magie s'apprend. Bien qu'il s'agisse de psalmodies, de non de chocs mécaniques et de principe d'inertie, de mêmes causes entraînent de mêmes effets ; les disciplines les plus éthérées, comme la Divination, sont raillées par les esprits rationnels ; la magie n'a pas seulement des règles, elle a des lois formulées sur le même modèle que celles de la physique, comme si le surnaturel devait obligatoirement se doubler d'une justification scientifique suffisamment crédible pour suspendre l'incrédulité du lecteur. Cette tendance s'est-elle généralisée, et si oui que révèle-t-elle sur nos conceptions du surnaturel ? Motivé·e·s par leur libido sciendi et leur expérience d'écrivains de fantasy et/ou de science-fiction, nos invité·e·s évoqueront ce qui, dans les univers de fiction, échappe aux lois de la nature telles que les modélisent les sciences modernes dans notre réalité. Composer un univers qui laisse place à la magie, à la sorcellerie, aux savoirs occultes, s'agit-il de mettre en oeuvre d'autres lois, d'autres invariants diégétiques dont on pourrait tirer une science fictive ? Et si oui, les auteur·ice·s sont-ils conscient·e·s du modèle qu'ils empruntent à la science ? S'agit-il d'un impensé ou au contraire, comme le génial Terry Pratchett, s'amusent-ils à détourner et subvertir les codes de la scientificité, nous rappelant au passage cette chose fondamentale, à savoir que la science est aussi d'abord, une création humaine qui puise au même langage de la fiction ? Dans le cadre de la 11e édition du festival Les Intergalactiques le samedi 15 avril 2023. Site internet du festival :https://intergalactiques.net

Welcome back to the second season of the Sit With Snit podcast. This season is focussed explicitly on sitting with singlehood; how to live a meaningful life while still searching for your life partner. We process ideas and topics by engaging in thought-provoking conversations with different speakers.   For our sixth episode, I am so excited to officially introduce the first male to make it on the Sit With Snit podcast. He is a legend and doesn't need an introduction. I think that if you know him, and you know him, well, then that's all there is to it. And for those of you who do not have the honor of knowing Rabbi Jack Cohen yet, I will tell you a little thing or two about him. You might know him from his days working at Meor Manhattan, now known as Olami, Manhattan, or even before that on UPenn's campus with MEOR, or maybe you happen to be one of the millions of Venezuelans who are related to him here in Miami. Rabbi Jack is currently the Director of Jewish Education and Community Engagement at Hebrew Academy (RASG) in Miami. He is passionate about being involved as an educator and mentor in people's lives directly, together with community building, but is also interested in exploring technological or otherwise avenues for making Jewish wisdom accessible to many more people.  Either way,  our guest is near and dear to my heart; I am very blessed to call him a Rabbi, mentor, spiritual practitioner, and step-cousin. We're still working on all the many labels, and you'll hear me allude to them on the podcast, and I milk it, I milk it. I knew I wanted Rabbi Jack on this podcast from day one because he was one of the people who pushed me to launch this season. He kept saying, "Hannita, you have to do it! Like give me a time and day, and let's make it happen." And sometimes we need that, you know, push to get things going. And I wouldn't be here right now speaking to all of you without him. So first and foremost, Chodesh Tov! Welcome to the month of Shevat, and I hope the energy of Shevat gives you the biggest hug, and so does this podcast. . Without further ado, are you ready to sit with us? Feel free to reach out and DM me on Instagram and show your love by liking this episode and sharing it with friends. And as always, it's all lessons and blessings. ✨

Denise Turner, Kallie Guinter, and Zeek Turner bring us up to date on the Unknown Child Foundation, raising funds for a memorial in remembrance of the 1.5 million children who perished in the Holocaust. We'll provide details on the NEVER FORGET Banquet that includes a Silent Auction with many great prizes like Memphis Grizzlies donation of a basketball signed by the team. One of few remaining Holocaust survivors Jack Cohen to share his story and Captain Roy Cash, nephew of Johnny Cash, performing his song made famous by Johnny (I still miss someone) as well as new lyrics written by Generation SC sponsor for the banquet.

In the Collapse of Chaos argumentieren die Autoren, dass der übliche reduktionistische Ansatz in der (Natur-) Wissenschaft nur die halbe Wahrheit ist, der zweite Teil sind Strukturen auf höheren Ebenen, die mit den tieferen Ebenen in Wechselwirkung stehen.

Jack Cohen and Spence Van Tiem of Florida Gulf Coast University (ACHA M2) join the show to talk about the aftermath of Hurricane Ian which left its mark on the Fort Myers community. The boys talk about taking shelter during the hurricane and helping their community begin to clean up. They share stories from last year's run to the ACHA Division II National Championship game and talk about the expectations for this season.

Scientist, writer and editor Dr Kat Day joins Liz and Ben on a timey-wimey to Roundworld, as the wizards once again try to save humanity in Pratchett's third collaboration with Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen: 2005's The Science of Discworld III: Darwin's Watch. Roundworld - the impossibly non-magical universe in a bottle which runs on rules - has gone wrong again, and the wizards feel duty-bound to set it right. Humanity's survival depends on the publication of a specific book, but something is trying very hard to make sure its author writes a different one...or gets eaten by a giant squid. With the fate of humanity hanging in the balance, the wizards go to war - but who is their hidden enemy? And why is there one beardy fellow too many in the Great Hall? In the (short) fiction chapters, the wizards must once again travel into Roundworld history, this time with a clear mission: to get Charles Darwin onto the Beagle so he can write The Origin of Species. In the science chapters, Jack and Ian have a focus - the importance of the theory of evolution - but they also feel free to use the time travel plot to explain infinity, DNA, the nature of science and history, and much more besides. They've learned to stay away from the cutting edge - but have they come entirely out of the "philosopause" they didn't seem to know they were in last time? Does the plot rely too much on prior knowledge of the Discworld? Is that really a problem, given the nature of the book? Did you follow the explanations of Minkowski spacetime and the different kinds of infinity, or were you happy coasting across the science chapters? Do they completely miss the point in that last non-fiction chapter - and does it really matter, when the end of the fiction part is so satisfying? Join in the conversation using the hashtag #Pratchat59 on social media! Guest Dr Kat Day is a chemist, a former teacher, a medical editor and a writer of both science and fiction. Kat became well known via her chemistry blog The Chronicle Flask, which is currently on hiatus; you can also find her fiction at the fiction phial. Kat is also an assistant editor for Pseudopod, the horror fiction anthology podcast from Escape Artists. Kat recommended the story "Celestial Shores" as a possible entry point for Pratchett fans, as well as "Let the Buyer Beware" from Pseudopod's sister podcast for young adult speculative fiction, Cast of Wonders. Over on Twitter you can follow Kat at @chronicleflask, and Pseudopod at @pseudopod_org. As usual, you can find notes and errata for this episode on our web site. Next episode Pratchett turns sixty! As promised back in #Pratchat30, we're doing another all-questions episode. This is your chance to send in questions about books you missed first time round, pitch your wild Discworld theories, and ask us pretty much anything you like that doesn't fit into the usual book-focussed episode. We'd also love you to answer our questions: what are do you enjoy most about the show? What kind of episodes do you wish we'd do? Which of our opinions have you most disagreed with? And have you learned anything from us? (Ben sure has!) Send us your answers, and questions, using the hashtag #Pratchat60, or via email to chat@pratchatpodcast.com. Oh, and in November, get ready for a double-header: not only are we reading Thud! with educator Matt Roden for #Pratchat61, but we're cooking up a bonus crossover episode! Yes, we're teaming up with Jo and Francine from The Truth Shall Make Ye Fret, another great Pratchett podcast, to discuss Where's My Cow?, the hottest children's book in Ankh-Morpork. We thought we'd let you know a little early, since it might be tricky to track down a copy...

Science comedian and public health nerd Alanta Colley joins Liz and Ben on their second trip through Discworld into Roundworld, as they join Rincewind and the wizards of Unseen University in Pratchett's second collaboration with Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen: 2002's The Science of Discworld II: The Globe. While on a team-building exercise in the woods near Unseen University, Archchancellor Mustrum Ridcully and his faculty are accidentally swept along when something makes its way through the Discworld into Roundworld. That something turns out to be elves - nasty, parasitic lifeforms who feast on the imagination and emotions of others. Roundworld - the universe in a bottle created by the wizards' experiments, which somehow runs without any magic - has been altered by their presence. Now the wizards - including Rincewind, the long-suffering Egregious Professor of Cruel and Unusual Geography - have to find a way to get rid of them without dooming the local human population in the process... Having entirely missed humankind in The Science of Discworld, the wizards are back for another go! And so are science writers Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen - but this time, they don't want to explain cosmology, basic physics and the history of the Earth, but instead sell you on the idea that storytelling is the essential ingredient that makes humans...human. Are we really Pans narrans, the storytelling chimpanzee, rather than Homo sapiens, the "wise man"? Is it wise to write a popular science book with an author who will guarantee the book will be read again twenty years later - and to include some "cutting edge" science, no less? What do a debunked psychological experiment, the term "overcommitment", and filthy explanations of fairytales have to do with it? And who's this shrewd and world-wise street wizard named Rincewind, and can we have some more of his adventures please? Let us know what you think using the hashtag #Pratchat47 on social media, and join in the conversation! Guest Alanta Colley is a comedian, science communicator and storyteller whose solo shows include Parasites Lost (about parasites), Days of Our Hives (about beekeeping) and The Origin of Faeces (you can probably work that one out yourself). She also wrote and performed the "comedy experiment" You Chose Poorly with our own Ben McKenzie. Since 2017 Alanta has also been the host and producer of Sci Fight, a series of comedy science debates; both Ben and Liz have been guest speakers, along with previous Pratchat guests Anna Ahveninen (#Pratchat35) and Nicholas J Johnson (#Pratchat38). You can hear Ben and Anna's last appearance on Sci Fight in this episode of the Climactic podcast, or see the first online debate for Melbourne Science Gallery on YouTube here. Visit scifight.com.au to sign up to the mailing list, and you can find Alanta as @lannyopolis on Twitter and Instagram, via Facebook or at alantacolley.com. You can find out more about what Liz has been writing by following her as @ElizabethFlux on Twitter or Instagram. As usual, you can find notes and errata for this episode on our web site. Next episode we read one of the few precious Discworld novels left to us, though luckily we got a little preview this time around; yes, we're joining up with Susan, Death and the history monks for the very timely Thief of Time, which we'll be discussing with journalist Ben Riley!

          Sir Terry's output was prodigious. In addition to the 41 Discworld titles, he wrote 16 non-Discworld novels, a four-book series called The Science of Discworld (with Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen) and co-wrote the five-book The Long Earth series with Stephen Baxter. All this in addition to numerous graphic novels, short stories, theater adaptations… and much more. Prodigious doesn't cover it. His writing was clear, engaging, entertaining, thought-provoking—and don't forget extremely funny! So make it prodigious genius. I've said it before: in a hundred years, if there is still a civilization in a hundred years, Terry Pratchett will still be read and enjoyed. Hell, he'll still be read and enjoyed in 400 years (although the odds of there being a human species, let alone civilization, still around then are pretty long.)GNU Terry PratchettThe Turtle MovesMind How You Go

Alright yuh sacks, Conspiracy Bot here. You voted last week and the winner was crowned. Me. But also John Titor for some reason. And the winner was picked for the prize pack, one loser named Skylar Horton. His crap is in the mail but to make him feel like less of a douche pickle for listening to this dumpster fire of a podcast I reached out and let him pick his favorite episode of all time for this week's final flashback episode. Without further ado, here is Skylar's pick, The Kardashev Scale How advanced is our civilization? Hot Pockets? Check. Cat memes? Check. Total control of our planet’s resources, weather, and energy? Well…we’ll get back to you. That’s the basic premise of the Kardashev Scale. It’s a simple test to judge a civilization’s technological advancement. The scale ranges from 0 (we’re a 0.7) to a 6 or 7 (think omnipotent beings). This week we explore where we are, where we’re (hopefully) going, and how we can get there. Plus, Conspiracy Bot gives himself an upgrade to SUPER C (he’s been playing too much NES), the neighborhood cats are back in his cross-hairs (he drank a bottle of Malört), and we talk how Pluto has gotten the shaft (#teamPluto).

The global economy was completely changed in 2020 thanks to Covid-19. This is going to have long lasting effects, both in terms of what sectors are going to thrive and what countries are going to thrive. Adrian Wooldridge, editor, columnist, and political correspondent for The Economist, joins Adam and Naresh to discuss how the economy has been disrupted, what it's shown us about our society, how we can create an environment where our government can actually function despite our polarization, and more. Andrew is author of the New York Times' bestselling books The Fourth Revolution: The Global Race to Reinvent the State, Capitalism in America: An Economic History of the United States (with Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan), and the new book The Wake-Up Call: Why the Pandemic Has Exposed the Weakness of the West, and How to Fix it.

My guest today is noted wildfire and chaparral ecologist Rick Halsey. Rick authored the book “Fire, Chaparral, and Survival in Southern California”, and has given countless talks on the subject. Rick has a background in Environmental Studies, Anthropology, and Education, with degrees from University of California Santa Barbara and Cal State San Diego and UC Berkeley. In this episode we discuss the myths and realities of wildfire. There are many eye opening insights that, even today, get lost in the political rhetoric. We discuss the ecosystems of the west and their natural fire behaviors and how those were determined through charcoal records and tree ring analysis, the surprising negative impacts of fuel removal and prescribed burns, how indigenous fire management techniques fit into the discussion, simple solutions at the wildland-urban interface (WUI) such as exterior sprinkler systems, and much more.In particular, we discuss the causes and factors leading to the Camp Fire that destroyed the town of Paradise, CA in 2018, the Yosemite Rim Fire, Oakland Hills Firestorm of 1991, and more. While we focus extensively on California, the principles discussed apply to much of the west.We take a few tangents in the discussion, including an insightful view of Rick's education experience and approaches.As an educator, Rick was the recipient of the Christa McAuliffe Fellowship. Over the years he's fine-tuned his delivery and has a wonderful essay on his transformation from lecturer to the engage model.Through the years, Rick has combined his educational skills and knowledge of ecology to focus on chaparral habitats - the most important habitat at the wildland/urban interface in California's major cities. He is the founder and director of the California Chaparral Institute, which is dedicated to preserving what remains of California's chaparral through scientific research, nature education, and activism. One of his quotes that really reflects his approach to nature education is "Our job as educators is not to convince everyone how smart we are. Our job is to convince people how smart they are.See Full Shows Notes at podcast.naturesarchive.comLinks to People, Events, and Resources Discussed:Keith Lombardo, Ph. D. Jack Cohen, Ph. D.

Liz, Ben and science communicator Anna Ahveninen have the weird sensation of being a specimen in a jar as they discuss 1999's The Science of Discworld, co-written by biologist Jack Cohen and mathematician Ian Stewart. By bribing the Unseen University faculty with the promise of cheap heating, research wizard Ponder Stibbons gets permission to try splitting the thaum, the magical equivalent of the atom. The experiment is a success, but fills the University with dangerous raw magic. To use it up, sentient thinking machine Hex initiates "the Roundworld Project", the creation of a reality devoid of magic. The universe in a bottle that results has no narrative imperative, only one kind of light, and not a single star turtle. What it does have are rocks, flaming balls of gas and rules. This all seems very unnatural to the wizards, so there's only one thing to do: poke it with a stick and see what happens... After reading one too many "Science of Star Trek" books, science writers and Pratchett fans Jack and Ian joined forces with Sir Terry to write a book in which they would use the wizards' exploration of a bottle universe to explore our own, and the science that explains it. The concept was a bit of a gamble, and no-one wanted to publish it at first, but it proved a big hit, spawning three sequels and a major revision to this first volume, three years later. The Science of Discworld concentrates on the beginning and evolution of the universe and the history of life on Earth, with plenty of asides about the nature of science and how it is taught (including the now famous concept of "lies-to-children"). In between these essays, the Unseen University wizards poke our own "Roundworld" with a big stick and try to make sense of a world without magic - in part by forcing Rincewind into the role of virtual astronaut. What did you learn from The Science of Discworld? Do you enjoy the alternating fantasy and science chapters? How does it compare to the other "The Science of" books? And does the science still stand up, eighteen years after the revised edition of 2002? Use the hashtag #Pratchat35 on social media to join the conversation! Guest Anna Ahveninen is a science communicator, writer and (ex) chemist who currently works at the Australian Academy of Science. You can follow her on Twitter at @Lady_Beaker. Anna also wanted to give a shout out to the STEMMinist Book Club (the second M is for Medicine), who you can also find on Twitter at @stemminist, and on Goodreads. Turns out we jumped the gun a little with Collisions - the Liminal magazine fiction anthology won't be published until November! We'll remind you in a couple of episodes.

Sometimes caregiving can feel like we're living on Planet Alz Caregivers live on Planet Alz, which is a different planet than earth. When you see us walking down the street, you may think that we look normal, but we are not. We are actually on a different planet. In our world, the normal rules do not apply. Everything is unpredictable, and anything can happen at any moment. As caregivers know, living with Alzheimer's is like living on a different planet. Sometimes we're with our intergalactic traveler, and sometimes we wonder where they are. Understanding that we have to be in "their" reality helps us navigate this unusual planet. Life on Planet Alz is the true story of my guest, Jack Cohen, and his journey caring for his wife. Speaking to me all the way from Israel, we chat about his experiences, the challenges he and his children faced and, how providing care differs in Israel. For the most part, caregiving and Alzheimer's are pretty similar worldwide. All in all the challenges are pretty much the same.

Liz and Ben (who suffered from microphone issues this episode) introduce children's author Oliver Phommavanh to the world of Pratchett with Johnny Maxwell's return, in 1993's Johnny and the Dead. Twelve-year-old Johnny Maxwell is enduring Phase Three of the Trying Times between his parents, which involves living with his Mum at his Grandad's place. His shortcut home from school takes him through an old rundown cemetery, where he knocks on a tomb door - and discovers he can see dead people. As Johnny gets to know them, the dead discover the Council has sold their cemetery for development - and they want Johnny to put a stop to it. While the gang delve into the history of Blackbury and discover a whole new side to their boring hometown, the dead begin to wonder if there might be more to life after life - earning the disapproving scowl of Mr Eric Grimm... Content note: this episode contains discussion of (fictional) suicide, from around 1:34:00 to 1:40:00. If you or anyone you know needs help, use the Wikipedia list of crisis lines to find one local to you. Johnny Maxwell and (most of) his friends are back, this time dealing with the mundane as well as the fantastical. Touching on themes of history, tradition, belief and capitalism, Pratchett makes a very different kind of "boy sees dead people" story as Johnny tries to save the local cemetery. There's lots of Pratchett philosophy in here, like his well-known positive attitude towards death as a part of life. It's also full of his trademark little jokes and asides, some of which feel very, well...early nineties. So what do you think? Has this aged well since 1993? Do the lessons about the past and present, living and dead still ring true? Do the trials and tribulations of a small English town translate to 2020 and wherever you live? Use the hashtag #Pratchat34 on social media to join the conversation! Guest Oliver Phommavanh is a children's author, teacher and stand-up comedian based in Sydney. He's written ten books, including the semi-autobiographical Thai-riffic and Con-Nerd, both of which have sequels. His next book the short story collection Brain Freeze, due out in September 2020.

In 1871, while the Great Chicago Fire was riveting the nation's attention, a blaze six times as deadly was ravaging a desperate town in northeastern Wisconsin. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the story of the Peshtigo fire, the deadliest wildfire in American history. We'll also watch an automated western and puzzle over some discounted food. Intro: Harry Mathews composed a poem in which every syllable is doubled.

How advanced is our civilization? Hot Pockets? Check. Cat memes? Check. Total control of our planet’s resources, weather, and energy? Well…we’ll get back to you. That’s the basic premise of the Kardashev Scale. It’s a simple test to judge a civilization’s technological advancement. The scale ranges from 0 (we’re a 0.7) to a 6 or 7 (think omnipotent beings). This week we explore where we are, where we’re (hopefully) going, and how we can get there. Plus, Conspiracy Bot gives himself an upgrade to SUPER C (he’s been playing too much NES), the neighborhood cats are back in his cross-hairs (he drank a bottle of Malört), and we talk how Pluto has gotten the shaft (#teamPluto). All of that and more on the podcast that didn’t know you in high school, but if we had we would have beat up any other podcasts that made fun of your Magic the Gathering collection – Hysteria 51.Special thanks to this week’s research sources:Research Assistant – Raymond Walden IVBooks:Evolving the Alien: The Science of Extraterrestrial Life by Jack Cohen and Ian StewartParallel Worlds: A Journey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos by Michio KakuWizards, Aliens, and Starships by Charles L.

If you ever get the dreaded “brown envelope” from the IRS, you want someone like Jack Cohen CPA on your side of the table. Jack worked for the IRS for 33 years and now represents people in front of the IRS…you could say he say he saw the light and turned back from the dark side. Today on Wealth Talks, Jack previews some the topics he’ll be sharing at the Wealth Summit including the new limitation on SALT deductions (State and Local Income Taxes) and the 2018 tax break for business owners. Don’t miss the crazy story about the IRS reporting one of Jack’s clients to the local 911 near the end.

After the massive Panorama Fire in southern California in 1980, a young fire researcher named Jack Cohen went in to investigate the houses that were destroyed. One of the first things that Cohen did was to listen to emergency dispatch tapes from the day of the fire. And as he listened, he began to notice a pattern. People were calling in about houses on fire long before the fire front ever reached their neighborhoods.The houses were not burning because a wall of flames was racing through the community, destroying them. It was something else: embers. This started Cohen on a crusade to get people to rethink how we fight wildfires. Built to Burn
