Starting as a part of the US Navy, he went on to law school, and today, he's an author sharing hard-earned insights and life lessons.We begin at the University of North Carolina, where Mark was part of the ROTC, kicking off a 30-year career in the U.S. Navy.

Fast forward, and Mark found himself at the University of South Carolina School of Law, navigating an intense first year that marked a sharp departure from his military background. Yet, he thrived, discovering an affinity for specific areas of law that fueled his next steps.Mark reflects on those transformative years, highlighting the steep learning curve and the unique perspective that his military background brought to his legal studies. We discuss his passion for aviation law and his tenacity in networking, a skill he attributes to landing every position he's held. Mark's advice? Dive in. Find your associations, boards, and mentors; offer value without expectation. His approach to networking is bold and direct, driven by a belief that there's nothing to lose and everything to gain by putting yourself out there.We also explore his latest venture as an author.

Mark Fava is a 30-year Navy veteran and an accomplished aviation attorney, and although he credits everyone's favorite JAG and friend to all (Hank Molinengo) with being a critical enabler in his career success, never served as a JAG. Nonetheless, his background as a career Reserve naval aviator and attorney working in both law firms and at Boeing gives him a unique position to provide an outside perspective on the capabilities of JAGs to work in the corporate setting.  However, the real take away from our conversation is the value of engaging with military veterans in your job search.  As you will hear, Mark lists several examples in which having a military connection helped as he pursued different career opportunities.  In fact, this entire podcast itself speaks to the power of having such allies as Mark and I had never met before we sat down for our conversation a couple of weeks ago; we connected via LinkedIn.  And yet, he was kind enough to give me an hour of his time to help you and me with our career progression.   Mark's LinkedIn profile can be viewed at https://www.linkedin.com/in/markfava/.

This episode covers a topic that deals with the youngest members of our mediation community and the future of our industry. Peer Mediation programs have been going on for years, but it's been going on in the background of the mediation landscape. So today we're going to shed a small bit of light on the programs that are bringing long-term benefits to their schools, neighborhoods, and families. For that discussion, host Jason Harper is speaking with Anne Sawyer and Dr. Pamela Kreiser.

The sense of belonging is not only a central basic need for our welfare, but it also multi-dimensionally affects our resources to act and perform. The positive identity which is developed through early relationships is the result of children feeling that they are liked, recognized, and accepted for who they are and what they are – both for their unique identity and for their status as a member of a group. This is the foundation of Expat Valley, the world's first ombudsman for international children.The Founders of Expat Valley, Karlijn Jacobs and Matthijs de Rave,  join our resident nomads, Andrew Jernigan and Allen Koski in a truly interesting episode of The New Nomad this week. They talked about why we should always consider the impact of our decisions on our children, especially when traveling or uprooting ourselves from a place. This conversation between our 4 experienced travelers shone a light on a topic that was rarely discussed and should be delved into more. You wouldn't want to miss out on all the tips and highlights of this episode so watch it and take some valuable time to really listen. If you have children, have them listen to this too.[5:05] Children's impact on travel and business[9:42] Think ahead, think about the kids[18:38] Children have a voice too[23:59] Relationships are a part of our identity[27:36] There is nothing more important to a child than quality time[31:47] Stay close to your heartGUEST BIO:From being a therapist to leading positions in a number of great organizations, Karlijn Jacobs, Co-founder and Managing Director of Expat Valley, Ombudsman for International Children had the chance to explore what she loves doing most while working with amazing people in an international context. Putting others, especially children, in a position to thrive has been a goal of her that she continues to pursue in the adventure she started with Expat Valley.Sometimes you just know when you've found your place in the world, as did Matthijs de Rave, Co-founder & Creative Director of Expat Valley, Ombudsman for International Children. He finds it rewarding to build a purpose-driven business and to care for 40 million children that are growing up outside of the country they were born in. He and everyone on Expat Valley believe that international migration should be an enriching experience that allows children to thrive.Karlijn Jacobs Links:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jacobskarlijnWebsite: expatvalley.com Matthijs de Rave Links:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/matthijs-de-rave-55495a10Website: expatvalley.comFollow Insured Nomads at:Instagram: @insurednomadswww.insurednomads.com

This episode is an interview with Rev. Craig B. Mousin, DePaul's University Ombudsperson. Craig is founder and former Executive Director of the Midwest Immigrant Rights Center and an Adjunct Faculty member at DePaul University's College of Law and The Grace School of Applied Diplomacy. In recognition of Ombuds Day 2020, Craig talks about the role of an Ombuds in a polarized society. Ombuds not only serve their institution, but their skills and experience can model practices and provide guidance in addressing polarization and conflict outside the walls of our institutions as well. For another example of how an Ombuds can serve an institution's ability to live out its mission, see Craig's article in the Vincentian Heritage Journal, “Vincentian Leadership: Advocating for Justice,” at works.bepress.com/craig_mousin/5/
