Ocean Robbins, was born a changemaker. Recently, his Dad John Robbins (author of Diet for a New America and other great books) was on the podcast, and the response from that episode was overwhelming. Many of you wrote in to say just how moved you were by John's authenticity and his willingness to walk away from the Baskin Robbins fortune to forge his own “rocky road” of happiness without the strappings of running a multi-million dollar company that simply didn't align with his values. John and his wife built a one-room cabin in Canada and had a son. That son, now 48-year-old, Oceans is “a chocolate chip” off the old block of his father. As co-founder and CEO of The Food Revolution Network, Ocean thrives as an active author, activist, educator, and speaker. His goal? To educate and inspire people to bring their life and food choices more in alignment with their values to create a more healthy and loving world. From his very first peace rally at the age of seven, to his own natural bakery business at the age of 10, all the way through his non-profits and speaking tours in high school and beyond, it's obvious that Ocean is living his purpose to be a beacon of love and kindness - hoping to bridge the gaps that separate us and, instead, shine a bright light on our commonalities as humans and stewards of this wonderful earth. More About Ocean Robbins Ocean Robbins is the CEO and co-founder of the 500,000+ member Food Revolution Network — one of the largest communities of healthy eating advocates on the planet.

"When giving a good speech, one must always be telling a story." This episode of the #MillenniumLive podcast proves that words can have a large impact. Terry Szuplat is a former speechwriter for President Barack Obama, and has some thoughtful insight into the days spent writing for the President. In this exclusive interview with Alex, Terry explores speechwriting and shares some of his defining moments during the Obama administration. Terry offers 25 years of experience providing leaders in government, business, philanthropy, and entertainment with strategic communications and speechwriting support to inspire audiences in the United States and around the world. One of President Barack Obama's longest-serving speechwriters, from 2009 to 2017, Terry helped craft nearly 500 speeches on global security, international economics, U.S. foreign and defense policy, entrepreneurship, development, and human rights.  As a Special Assistant to the President, and Senior Director of Speechwriting at the National Security Council staff, he joined President Obama on visits to more than 40 countries. While serving as the deputy director of the White House Speechwriting Office in the West Wing during President Obama's second term, Terry helped oversee and edit the work of a team of speechwriters, assisted with State of the Union addresses, and produced innovative content to reach new audiences through social media. Since leaving the White House, Terry's personal essays have appeared in leading publications.  In “The Endless Recovery From the Endless War,” he chronicled the story of Army Ranger Cory Remsburg, which former President Barack Obama called “a moving portrait…[and] an honest tribute to all those wounded warriors and families who give so much to our country.” Terry's commentaries have also appeared in The New Yorker, The Washington Post, The Huffington Post, Fox News, POLITICO Magazine, CTV News, CBC News, Minnesota Public Radio, the Dole Institute of Politics, the Better Angels podcast, and the Bipodisan podcast. He has discussed the role of presidential rhetoric in American politics with students at Yale Law School, Harvard Law School, the United States Military Academy at West Point, Georgetown University, Northwestern University, The George Washington University, American University, the Sine Institute of Policy and Politics, the University of California in Los Angeles, and the Summer School of Rhetoric in Finland. Before the White House, Terry worked as a freelance consultant for seven years providing speechwriting support to corporate, political, and philanthropic clients.  He served on the speechwriting team at the 2004 and 2008 Democratic National Conventions. At the age of 25, Terry was appointed Director of Speechwriting to Secretary of Defense William Cohen, managing a staff of four writers from 1998 to 2001 and earning the Secretary of Defense Medal for Outstanding Public Service.  A professional staff member on the Senate Armed Services Committee from 2001 to 2002, he previously served on the staff of the Commission on Protecting and Reducing Government Secrecy, chaired by Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, from 1995 to 1997. Terry was a member of the Biden for President National Finance Committee and an advisor to National Security Action, dedicated to restoring principled American leadership at home and abroad.  He serves as a board member of Legacies of War, which advocates for the removal of unexploded U.S. bombs from Laos.  A graduate of American University, he grew up in Falmouth, Massachusetts and now lives outside Washington, D.C. with his wife and two children.

It is hard to know where to begin with our next HBN guest. It makes sense to begin with a recent award for service at the White House just a few months ago. The second-highest award from the head of the Department of Defense, the Secretary of Defense Medal for Outstanding Public Service for his work with the Red Sox Foundation in creating Home Base, along with our partner Massachusetts General Hospital.Creativity is the common thread to our guest's entire career… As he and his creative and successful teams hold other awards you may have heard of like multiple Emmys and Golden Globes and of course … (4) World Series Championships, and several trophies and a title in England's Premiere Football League.Yes, this can only be Tom Werner, but with all the awards and accolades mentioned, Tom shows how much pride he has in Home Base, which began following a Red Sox team visit to the White House and Walter Reed Medical Center in 2008, and a conversation with MGH and Red Sox physician Dr. Larry Ronan.Tom has had a unique path to serving veterans and the country's military families of all eras, and having grown up in NYC with a father who had served in WWII, experiencing loss and trauma.And on this 20th anniversary of 9/11, he talks about that day and the flight he had been scheduled to be on leaving Boston's Logan airport.Tom began studying government, graduating Harvard in 1971, and he was intrigued by documentary work, which led to producing and developing iconic American TV shows - Taxi, Soap, and Mork and Mindy, then on to creating The Cosby Show, Roseanne and others. And later to the sports world, where he would eventually become Chairman of the Boston Red Sox in 2001 and Chairman of the Liverpool Football Club in 2010. It's fitting to talk with Tom Werner 20 years after a day that none of us will ever forget, and a two-decade war to follow, that has created trauma and stress for so many veterans and their families. As our servicemembers return to community, we can do more than thank them, as Tom tells me and we can continue to support their mental physical health so they can thrive as best as possible. With many thanks to Brigadier General Jack Hammond for your service, for your Home Base leadership, and these reflections on the 20th anniversary of 9/11Notes:Crowd at Fenway Park singing Sweet Caroline by Neil DiamondCrowd at Liverpool Premiere Football Title ceremony singing You'll Never Walk Alone by Gerry and the Pacemakers____Please SUBSCRIBE to Home Base NationIf you are your loved one is experiencing any emotional, mental health struggles, you are not alone and please contact Home Base at 617-724-5202, or www.homebase.org  To DONATE to the 12th annual Run To Home Base at Fenway Park on Saturday, September 25th, click here.  To learn more and connect with us at Home Base Nation:www.homebase.org/homebasenationTwitter,Facebook,Instagram,LinkedInHome Base Nation Team: Steve Monaco, Maureen Roderick, Laurie Gallagher, Karianne Kraus, with COO Michael Allard and Brigadier General  Jack HammondProducer and Host: Dr. Ron HirschbergHome Base Media Lab Chairman: Peter SmythTheme music:  The Butler FrogsHome Base Nation is the official podcast of Home Base Program for Veterans and Military Families, a partnership of the Massachusetts General Hospital and the Red Sox Foundation.The views expressed by guests to the Home Base Nation podcast are their own and their appearance on the program does not imply an endorsement of them or any entity they represent.

Ocean Robbins is an impassioned food revolutionary, author, public speaker, facilitator, father, dancer, movement builder and transformational social change leader. Co-founder and CEO of the 500,000+ member Food Revolution Network, one of the largest communities of healthy eating advocates on the planet, Ocean is author of 31-Day Food Revolution: Heal Your Body, Feel Great, and Transform Your World (2019). He has held hundreds of live seminars and events that have touched millions of lives in 190 nations. He is on a mission to transform the industrialized food culture into one that celebrates and supports healthy people and a healthy planet. Ocean’s work focuses on the two fronts of advancing public policy and speaking directly to people about choosing healthy eating habits. He inspires people to look at how their food choices can make a lasting difference in the world, believing strongly that, “We are everyday food revolutionaries with our knives and forks.” He is passionate about real, healthy, fair trade, natural, sustainable, local, plant-strong and delicious food. Ocean’s family’s story is an amazing story of health and transformation. His grandfather, Irvine Robbins, co-founded Baskin-Robbins (31 flavors) ice cream. His father, John Robbins, grew up swimming in an ice-cream-cone-shaped swimming pool and being groomed to join the family company. When John was in his twenties, John’s uncle who had co-founded Baskin-Robbins with Irvine, suffered a heart attack and died in his early fifties.  So John decided that he couldn’t spend his life working for a company that could contribute to making people sick, contributing to obesity, heart disease and diabetes. John walked away from the company and the family wealth. The family says that John followed his own “rocky road”. So Ocean’s father John moved to an island off the coast of Canada with his wife (Ocean’s mother) Deo, where they built a one-room log cabin. This is where Ocean was born and spent his first ten years. His parents lived simply, grew most of their own food, living on less than $500 per year, and practiced yoga and meditation for several hours every day. In 1984 Ocean’s family moved to California where John began work on his bestseller, Diet for a New America, and became a renowned health advocate.  At a young age Ocean started running marathons with his father.  When Ocean’s grandfather became ill with heart disease, diabetes and other health problems, his doctor recommended that he read and follow the advice in his son John’s book.  Irvine Robbins, the founder of an ice cream empire, started to follow his son’s advice, which included giving up ice cream, and lived another 18 healthy years. If Ocean’s grandfather could give up ice cream, Ocean thinks there’s hope for the rest of us. His own family has witnessed the powerful impact that healthy eating can have on our ability to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives. He sees his father as an example of what can happen when we truly follow and stand for our values, when we walk our walk. Following in his father’s footsteps, Ocean was inspired from a young age to reach out to his own generation, making his own indelible mark on the world. But his commitment was not without challenges, as he often felt disconnected from the people around him, including his peers, because of his strong stance on not eating animals. He learned compassion at a turning point in his young life when his father helped him to explore what it means to be true to one’s integrity and passion in a way that is congruent with all of humanity, with people wherever they may be on their path. His father taught him that all people and all choices deserve to be listened to, to be respected, and to be loved.  John quoted Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr to his young son to drive home this message: “You have no moral authority with those who can feel your underlying contempt.” Since that turning point he has pondered what it means to release contempt and to stand with compassion for all life. As Ocean became aware that the American way of eating was being exported around the world at a heavy cost to the health of people around the world and to the planet, he joined forces directly with his father to launch The Food Revolution Network. Ocean explains that a “revolution” is needed because there is no longer time for a little less toxic food, stating that “our modern food system is financially profitable for a few but has become morally bankrupt.” It is contributing to illnesses in epidemic proportion, is cruel to farm workers and animals, and is unsustainable for the planet and lethal to millions of people. Ocean’s efforts on behalf of a better world have been honored by the Giraffe Project (for people who stick their necks out for what they believe in), the National Alliance for Animals (The Compassionate Youth Award), EarthSave (Volunteer of the Year Award), the Freedom’s Flame Award, the national Jefferson Award for Outstanding Public Service by an Individual 35 Years or Younger, and the Harmon Wilkinson Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Social Sciences. .Both Time and Audubon magazines chose him as among the heroes of the new millennium. Ocean has mentored and learned from some of the world’s most inspiring change makers. His earlier published books include: Choices for Our Future: A Generation Rising for Life on Earth (1994), The Power of Partnership:  Building Healthy Bridges Across Historic Divides (2009), and Voices of the Food Revolution (2013, co-authored with his father John Robbins).  For every new copy that is sold of his latest book, 31 Day Food Revolution: Heal Your Body, Feel Great, and Transform Your World, he has pledged to donate to Trees for the Future so that they can plant an organic fruit or nut tree in a low-income community. Ocean has served on the Board of Directors of Friends of the Earth, Creating Our Future, and EarthSave International. He is a founding member of the Turning Tide Coalition, co-founder of the Leveraging Privilege for Social Change program, and a founding convener of Leverage Alliance, both of which convene privileged young leaders and support them in their commitment to positive social impact. He and his father provide a forum for leading health and nutrition experts to reach hundreds of thousands of individuals through the Food Revolution Summit. Ocean is a living embodiment of his message to the world: “When you bring any area of your life into alignment with your values, your life takes on a potency, and a beauty, that you never could previously have imagined.”

The Food Revolution  http://learntruehealth.com/food-revolution/ Ocean Robbins' Food Revolution Network Food is not just a commodity - it's also a community. Ocean Robbins expounds in this episode on why becoming informed about your food is an act of liberation and empowerment for yourself and your world. Today's guest is going to blow you away. In fact, his family has probably touched your life in some way. If you've eaten one of the delicious 31 flavors of ice creams that Baskin Robbins serves, then his grandfather has affected your life. Ocean Robbins is my guest today, and I am so inspired he dedicated his life to helping people to live a healthy life through sustained agriculture and a whole foods diet. He is also on a mission to save the planet. Baskin Robbins Ice Cream Empire Ocean Robbins' grandfather founded an ice cream company called Baskin Robbins and Ocean Robbins' dad John, grew up with an ice cream-shaped swimming pool in the backyard. He was groomed from early childhood to one day join in and run the company. John Robbins invented the Jamoca Almond Fudge flavor and a lot of other flavors. But he walked away from running the business and followed his path. One of the primary emphasis for that was that his uncle, Burt Baskin, who was Ocean Robbins' grandfather's brother-in-law and business partner, was dying of heart attack. He died at the age of 54. "My dad's uncle Burt was one of the most successful entrepreneurs in American history. He seemed to have everything, but he didn't have his health," shared Robbins. "That was an eye-opener for my Dad." Moving To Canada After a few years, Ocean Robbins' dad moved to Canada with his mom and built a one-room log cabin.  They practiced yoga and meditation for several hours a day and named their kid Ocean. "I grew up monetarily poor, but I grew up with healthy food and a lot of energy. I ran my first marathon when I was ten years old," Robbins recalls. Diet For A New America When Ocean Robbins was 12 years old, his dad started working on a book called 'Diet for a New America' which came out in 1987. It became a runaway bestseller. It's about how our food choices affect our health and happiness. Ocean Robbins says the media had a blast that time. They called his dad 'The Rebel Without The Cone,' because of this would-be ice cream heir, became an advocate for healthy food. Ocean Robbins' grandfather was initially devastated that he didn't take over the company and ended up selling the business. He was bitter when he retired and blamed my dad for it. Turning A New Leaf In 1990, Robbins' grandfather had severe health problems --- diabetes, high blood pressure and weight issues. His doctors told him he didn't have long to live unless he read this book and followed its advice. It turns out that the book doctors wanted Robbins' grandfather to read was the one written by Robbins' father. So he read the book and got incredible results. He then lived for another 18 years. Robbins' grandfather cut down on meat consumption, stopped eating sugar and ice cream. He ate a lot more vegetables and whole foods. Drive To Help Others "We've seen in our family, what can happen when we follow the standard American diet. And we have also seen what can occur when we make a change," said Robbins. "So that drives me to want to help people." At the age of 16, Robbins ended up co-founding an organization called YES! (Youth for Environmental Sanity) that he directed for the next 20 years. "Everywhere I went, I saw how people eat and the impact it had on their health. More people were suffering from chronic disease," said Robbins. Eventually, Robbins decided to work with his dad and help take this food revolution message to the modern era. He wanted to use the online technology, so they launched The Food Revolution Network in 2012. Robbins says they reached more than a million people through their live online event. Here they saw that all over the world, people are hungry for change. They are fed up with toxic food. "People are so sick of being sick. They want to change their lives. And that gives me immense hope," Robbins said. "I can see how toxic our food system has become, but I also see how much better they can be with the change." Medical Doctor Turned Believer Robbins narrates that there's a practicing physician in Oregon named Pat who was 50 pounds overweight. He had several health issues. Then he participated in Robbins' food revolution event and learned about whole foods plant-based diet. He changed his diet, got off medication and lost 50 pounds. After that, he went as far as changing his medical practice from focusing on health rather than pills. "Honestly, Pat is struggling to make it work financially as a doctor. Because he doesn't have too many patients anymore since they don't need him anymore," Robbins revealed. And insurance companies reimburse based on pills and surgery. They don't reimburse based on spending an hour talking to a patient about nutrition. But according to Robbins, Pat is committed to figuring out a way to make it work financially to do the right thing. Because now that he understands what's at stake, it's not acceptable to him to spend his life profiting off a system that is dependent on sick care. Alarming Statistics The Naturopathic model of health is that symptoms are not healthy. These symptoms are the language of the body talking to us. "Three-quarters of medical expenses in the United States goes towards managing lifestyle-caused chronic illness," Robbins said. He added, "Medical costs are the leading cause of bankruptcy for families. The cost of Medicare in the United States is expected to double in the next generation." Meanwhile, the federal government provides billions of dollars a year in subsidy for so-called commodity crops like corn, wheat, and soy, that are processed into high fructose syrup, white flour and animal feeds for factory farms. So we are subsidizing the very things that science tells us we should be eating less off. Not to mention, it is destroying our environment. They are the leading source of climate change. The Food Revolution Network "There is some effort involved if you want to change. It takes time, energy and attention to make a new habit," said Robbins. We only have a small amount of willpower. Most of what we do in our life is out of habit. Creating change takes some attention. Robbins says that The Food Revolution Network is about a movement. A movement in our lives and a movement in our world. Ultimately, we want real food. The top barrier people face is time, money and confusion about what is healthy and what is not. Furthermore, Robbins says we need to create other ways in having speed and convenience in eating real food. Like cooking in bulk or food sharing programs. Consequently, choosing healthy food is maybe the best financial decision you made in your life. It will save you money in medical costs and increase your productivity. Save Money While Eating Healthy Minimize eating out. Making your food is cheaper and healthier. We need to eat less processed sugar, white flour, and carbs. Avoid eating factory farm animal products and dairy. Eat more legumes, vegetable, fruits, whole grains, nuts, and seeds. If you will eat animal products, chose wild fish. Stick with your shopping list. Avoid impulse purchases. Plan on what meals to cook. "Whether or not you ever go to foodrevolution.org, you are a part of us every time you choose real food over processed food," Robbins said. "Every time you get informed, inspired and empowered, you are part of The Food Revolution." Ocean Robbins is co-founder & CEO of the 450,000+ member Food Revolution Network.

What is war? Is it a state that is entirely distinct from peace? Has it changed over the years to become something else? In this episode of the Modern Law Library, Georgetown law professor Rosa Books shares the experiences she had in the U.S. government which led her to write her new book, “How Everything Became War and the Military Became Everything: Tales from the Pentagon.” Brooks discusses the post-9/11 changes that shifted the thinking of both the military and the legal community when it came to the laws of war, particularly drone warfare. The military has been the recipient of both more funds and weightier expectations, as it’s called upon to perform tasks which traditionally would have been the province of civilian government and the diplomatic corps. As a state of non-traditional warfare seems to have become a permanent fixture, does the traditional divide between civilian and military justice still make sense? And how can the American public hold the government accountable when an increasing amount of information about its workings is secret? Rosa Brooks is a Senior Fellow at the New America Foundation, a columnist for Foreign Policy, and a law professor at Georgetown University. She previously worked at the Pentagon as Counselor to the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy; in 2011, she was awarded the Secretary of Defense Medal for Outstanding Public Service. Brooks has also served as a senior advisor at the US Department of State, a consultant for Human Rights Watch, and a weekly opinion columnist for the Los Angeles Times.
