In this episode of Life Changing with Dori Fern, Dori talks with longtime friend, colleague, and fellow nerd, Ken Gibbs Jr., a digital media consultant with a distinguished career at companies like Spotify and BET Networks. They share stories that both align and diverge in striking ways, beginning with two very different family tales—told a decade and a world apart—connected by fireworks and fathers. They geek out over podcasting and hip hop, with Ken sharing intimate family memories and his experiences with suburban dad life. Dori and Ken also reflect on the impact the late Reggie Ossé, aka Combat Jack, had on their lives and careers. The conversation explores the importance of personal growth, his Art of Storytelling series, and the hope for more inclusive societies driven by cross-cultural communication. They also discuss the lasting influence of parental choices, personal evolution, and the idea of "winning" through life experiences.00:00 Introduction to Season Two00:39 Meet Ken Gibbs Jr.01:52 Nerds Unite02:44 Welcome to Life Changing with Dori Fern04:35 Ken's Earliest Family Memories17:35 The Impact of Reggie Ossé, aka Combat Jack25:34 Reflections on Fatherhood and Life29:51 Hopes for the Future and Final Thoughts32:33 Closing Remarks and CreditsText Me!Connect with me!Instagram: @dorifernLinkedIn: Dori FernEmail me: lifechangingwithdorifern@gmail.comVisit https://dorifern.com for more about Dori's coaching services and to sign up for a complimentary session.

When I interviewed Reggie Ossé a.k.a. Combat Jack back in June 2017, he told me that what had made Chris Lighty so attractive for the upcoming season of Mogul was that his life's trajectory had mirrored the hip hop culture he loved. Mogul, his podcast series about Chris Lighty had been released and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to talk to him about it. I met Reggie for our interview at a coffee shop near Union Square in New York City. I was nervous because after all he was “COMBAT JACK.” We shook hands and I thanked him for agreeing to be interviewed. Instead of saying “you're welcome,” he said “No, thank you for doing this.” It was a small but incredibly generous gesture. My nervousness abated; he offered to buy me a cup of coffee, which I politely declined, and he purchased a cup of tea for himself. We sat down and began the interview. On October of 2017, Reggie learned he had cancer. On December 20, 2017 the Hip Hop community, the podcast community lost a legend. Reggie Ossé a.k.a. Combat Jack was 53 years old. The following is my interview with him. Combat Jack, thank you. Music heard on this episode - Produced and Scored by Jason Cowit.

Back in July we released a tribute to Reggie Ossé, the late host of Mogul. After that episode dropped, we invited Reggie’s friends, family, and colleagues to record a live show at the BRIC Ballroom in Brooklyn. They shared their most personal stories about Reggie—from the time he escaped a block party gone wrong to the day his whole crew got involved in a dance battle. We also reunited the cast of the Combat Jack Show. That’s right: Dallas Penn, Premium Pete, A-King, and Just Blaze, all graced the stage together for this special episode of Mogul. This episode contains music by Reggie's eldest son, Chuma Ossé. He goes by IDKHIM.

It’s time to jive Cuzz episode 25 is live. (Bars) Welcome to the DAT holiday special, that’s not so special. Today we talk about Budden vs. Complex, Huncho Jack, Em, and give praise to the late, great Reggie Ossé. Tune in and vibe out y’all.
Reggie Ossé, friend of The Nod and host of The Combat Jack Show, explains how a wild night of dancing and partying helped him get into his dream law school. And Producer Emanuele Berry shares the story of the man who made that magic night happen: DJ Larry Levan.
Reggie Ossé discusses major turning points and challenges in his life. From growing up in a one-parent house and having to find his own role models, to becoming successful in three separate careers, and experiencing some dark moments: Reggie tells Adam about how he's handled transitions and what he'd say to others in the same situation.

Today's guest is Reggie Ossé, also known as Combat Jack. He's the host of The Combat Jack Show, one of the best hip-hop podcasts around. On the show, Reggie chops it up with a who's who of the rap world, not only about music, but about race, politics, and a whole lot more. Reggie says he kind of fell into interviewing for a living. He's actually a lawyer by training and used to represent some of the biggest hip-hop stars, even Jay-Z. Because he's been immersed in the culture for decades, he brings to each conversation a deep knowledge and respect for his subject that few interviewers can match.
In this episode: cold hard cash. Chris Lighty makes a pile of it, and changes the game forever, when he does the biggest deal of his career—getting 50 Cent a piece of Vitamin Water. But soon, instead of swimming in dough...Chris is drowning. CREDITS: Mogul is hosted by Reggie Ossé.

Lighty is at the top of his game. He’s got the fancy Manhattan office, the high-end designer clothes, and a roster of famous clients calling him 24/7. It all looks perfect.

Fat Joe is one hell of a storyteller. And in this special episode, he drops two great ones. First, the story of how Fat Joe the drug dealer became Fat Joe the rapper. Then, a story he almost never tells— because, as he says, “That's the realest story. I don't tell those stories, because then you'd think I lied. But it's a fact.” CREDITS: Mogul is hosted by Reggie Ossé. This episode was produced by Eric Eddings and Meg Driscoll, with help from Isabella Kulkarni, Jonathan Mena, and Peter Bresnan.

Chris is headed for the big time. Meeting Russell Simmons, landing a job at Def Jam, getting into Queen Latifah’s birthday party—the future looks bright. But before he can get there, he’ll have to prove himself by squeezing eight dudes into a Chevy Corsica that smells like White Castle and farts. CREDITS: Mogul is hosted by Reggie Ossé.

Let’s start at the end—at a funeral. All the brightest stars in the hip-hop universe are gathered to mourn the death of Chris Lighty. He was their friend, their brother, their late-night confidant, the man who discovered them, or saved their careers, or made them millionaires. He was a hip-hop legend. But to understand how we got here, we have to go back to the beginning—back to a time before hip-hop even had a name. CREDITS: Mogul is hosted by Reggie Ossé.
