Podcasts about Zak

SCHEDULE JBS, 6-25-26.JUNE 1957The Fog of Diplomacy in the Strait of Hormuz. Guest: Colonel Jeff McCausland. McCausland discusses a memorandum of understanding with Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz and nuclear weapons. He notes the Iranian requirement for reconstruction aid and the release of frozen assets. He also touches on the IDF's continued presence in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza despite regional negotiations. 1The Evolving Robotic Battlefield in Ukraine. Guest: Colonel Jeff McCausland. McCausland explains how drones have transformed the war in Ukraine, effectively cutting off Russian supply lines to Crimea. He discusses the massive casualty rates caused by drones and Ukraine's plan to deploy thousands of ground robots. Meanwhile, Russia faces severe manpower shortages and high casualty counts. 2Structural Fatigue and Leaks on the ISS Zvezda Module. Guest: Anatoly Zak. Zak details the critical role of the Zvezda module, which provides propulsion and life support for the International Space Station. He addresses growing concerns over air leaks and cracks in a transfer compartment. While currently manageable, the cracks reappear despite repeated sealing attempts. 3Almaz: The Secret Soviet Spy Station in Space. Guest: Anatoly Zak. Zak describes the top-secret Almaz program, military space stations camouflaged under the "Salyut" name for reconnaissance. These "spy satellites with men" took high-resolution photos of NATO bases. The program was eventually discontinued because robotic satellites proved more effective and less taxing on human crews. 4Emily Brontë's Dark Inspiration from the Family Vault. Guest: Deborah Lutz. Lutz examines the profound impact of Emily Brontë's mother's death and the construction of the family burial vault beneath the church floor. She argues this underground space fueled Emily's literary obsession with dungeons and graves. Lutz also defends Patrick Brontë against historical claims of severity. 5The Influence of Aunt Branwell and Early Tragedy. Guest: Deborah Lutz. Lutz highlights Aunt Elizabeth Branwell's sacrifice in moving to Haworth to raise the Brontë children, introducing them to cosmopolitan stories. The segment also details the tragic deaths of the eldest sisters, Maria and Elizabeth, from tuberculosis after a harrowing experience at a poorly managed boarding school. 6Imaginary Empires and the Fierce Loyalty of Keeper. Guest: Deborah Lutz. Lutz describes the miniature books the Brontë children created to document their imaginary worlds, Angria and Gondal. The discussion shifts to Emily's domestic life in Haworth, where she balanced household chores with writing. Lutz also recounts Emily's intense bond with her massive, formidable mastiff-mix dog, Keeper. 7Brussels, Poetry, and the Birth of a Unique Voice. Guest: Deborah Lutz. Lutz discusses Charlotte and Emily's education in Brussels, where Emily honed her concise writing style and piano skills. Following their aunt's death, the sisters returned to Haworth and used their inheritance to focus on writing. They compiled their poetry into a volume under male pseudonyms. 8The Bell Brothers and the Collaborative Creation of Novels. Guest: Deborah Lutz. Lutz explains how the sisters published their poetry under the pseudonyms Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell to avoid gender bias. Despite selling only two copies, they immediately began collaborating on their first novels. Lutz also explores the troubled life of their brother, Branwell. 9The Reclusive Genius of Emily Brontë. Guest: Deborah Lutz. Lutz describes Emily Brontë's writing habits in her small bedroom overlooking a graveyard. Despite her reclusive nature and strong-minded personality, she lived a life filled with "joy and contentment" while crafting Wuthering Heights. Lutz notes that her sisters initially found the dark, violent novel strange. 10The Experimental Haunting of Wuthering Heights. Guest: Deborah Lutz. Lutz explores the Gothic structure and experimental narrative frames of Wuthering Heights. She suggests Heathcliff is an extension of Emily's own fierce imagination. The segment concludes with the tragic deaths of Branwell, Emily, and Anne from tuberculosis, leaving Patrick as the family's sole survivor. 11The Enduring Legacy of the Brontës in Haworth. Guest: Deborah Lutz. Lutz reflects on the Brontës' lasting cultural impact and Haworth's transformation into a major tourist destination. She discusses the critical backlash the novel initially faced for its violence. Despite the tragedy surrounding their lives, the Brontës remain buried beneath the church they once inhabited. 12The FBI, Money Laundering, and the Russian Mob. Guest: Craig Unger. Unger interviews whistleblower Jonathan Buma, a former FBI agent, regarding investigations into Donald Trump's ties to Russian intelligence. He claims Trump Tower served as a "laundromat" for the Russian mafia to clean illicit funds through luxury real estate. Unger questions why the FBI failed to act. 13Political Interference and FBI Counter-Intelligence Failures. Guest: Craig Unger. Unger discusses how investigations into the 2020 election and Rudy Giuliani were allegedly stymied. He notes that Giuliani received payments from Russian oligarchs, potentially compromising the Trump campaign. Unger and Buma explore why major intelligence agencies and the Department of Justice have not pursued these leads. 14The Chronic Failures of the Cuban Regime. Guest: Mary Anastasia O'Grady. O'Grady analyzes Cuba's ongoing economic misery and electricity crises, which the government blames on the U.S. embargo. She references the failed 10-million-ton sugar harvest of 1970 as a symbol of the state's incompetence. The regime maintains power through bitter repression and control over food resources. 15The Distortions of Global Wealth Taxes. Guest: Veronique de Rugy. De Rugy discusses how the UK's tax system discourages international athletes from competing at Wimbledon by taxing their worldwide endorsements. She argues that oppressive global tax schemes, such as California's proposed billionaire tax, often result in reduced economic activity and lower wage growth for middle-class workers. 16One correction folded in: the guest is Mary Anastasia O'Grady (not "Anastasio") in file 15.

Structural Fatigue and Leaks on the ISS Zvezda Module. Guest: Anatoly Zak. Zak details the critical role of the Zvezda module, which provides propulsion and life support for the International Space Station. He addresses growing concerns over air leaks and cracks in a transfer compartment. While currently manageable, the cracks reappear despite repeated sealing attempts. 31954

The program was eventually discontinued because robotic satellites proved more effective and less taxing on human crews. 41959

Jon Herold and Zak Paine open Episode 190 with a laugh at Zak's expense after a fake Q alert briefly fooled him live on air, followed by a genuine debate about what the White House Q meme actually signals and why the decoder community is not the same thing as the Q drops themselves. Then the show picks up where Episode 189 left off on the GATE program, and this week the audience showed up with receipts. Jon walks through a GATE curriculum binder from Monterey that instructed children to keep its contents secret from their parents, a New Jersey parent group's alarmed breakdown of a GATE syllabus teaching clairvoyance and psychokinesis to fourth graders, and a firsthand viewer account from someone invited into GATE at age 12 only after a criminal incident and a court-ordered psych eval. The episode closes with the Monroe Institute's Hemi-Sync Focus 10 tapes, the CIA's Project Stargate remote viewing program, Uri Geller's role in it, and Jon's argument that Stargate was never truly shut down but simply reclassified once perfected.

CannCon and Zak Paine open GART week with a Monday show full of political fireworks before Deadwood. Trump called it on Truth Social over the weekend and it happened: UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer resigns, becoming the seventh British leader in ten years. Zak connects Starmer's tenure to the Jimmy Savile prosecution he buried and the Pakistani rape gang cases he never brought. Colombia elects Trump-backed political outsider Abelardo de la Espriella in a razor-thin vote, and CannCon flags the remarkable connection: de la Espriella was the attorney for Alex Saab, the Maduro associate who briefed the Trump administration on Central American cartel corruption, making his election look like the Venezuela playbook in one more country. Chuck Schumer goes on MSNBC and inadvertently confirms 25 to 30 million people would come off the voter rolls under the SAVE America Act. Politico drops a hit piece on Ruben Gallego's PAC spending covering Disney trips, a St. Barts birthday, an au pair, and Super Bowl attendance with Eric Swalwell, and CannCon says something big is coming. Ilhan Omar's husband goes from a $30M net worth to negative $95,000 in one year. A federal judge clears the DOJ to hand Biden's audio tapes to the Heritage Foundation. And the Iran deal continues its on-again-off-again cycle as Trump threatens to take over the Strait of Hormuz entirely.

After roughly seven years and 132 episodes on Badlands, Taking it Back wraps up with the full crew back together: Adel Nero, Zak Paine, and Frankie Val. They open with a long reminiscence, from Patriot Soapbox and the early Q days to Adel's decision to finally show his face, Frank's brave early example, and Zak getting hooked on the boards before there was a public movement. From there, the conversation shifts to the news of the week: Trump's stunning pivot on Israel and Iran. Frank takes a victory lap on having been called a Zionist for not attacking Trump's Iran posture, and Zak lays out the full strategic argument that Trump's public posture toward Israel was never meant to be taken at face value. He walks through the Iranian government restructuring, the new Middle East security agreements, and why Israel's continued provocations are isolating them on the world stage. They dip into the Promethean Action thesis on the City of London as the puppet master, work through Zak's Venn diagram of overlapping deep state, banking, and Jewish identity, and close with a Pennsylvania minor league team forfeiting a game rather than wear pride sleeves. Last call, sentimental and sharp.

Fakty są od dawna znane, zbadane i opisane: przy uwzględnieniu wpływu na człowieka i jego otoczenie alkohol to najbardziej szkodliwa substancja psychoaktywna, a zarazem łatwo dostępna, kulturowo akceptowana i powszechnie stosowana. Chociaż oficjalne spożycie w Polsce systematycznie spada - obecnie to około 12 litrów czystego alkoholu na osobę rocznie - wciąż jesteśmy krajem o jednym z najwyższych wskaźników zgonów odalkoholowych w UE i w spożyciu mocnych trunków przewyższamy średnią europejską. Dlaczego więc, mimo rosnącej świadomości, wciąż to robimy: sobie, swojemu zdrowiu, swoim bliskim i całemu społeczeństwu, bo picie i uzależnienie od alkoholu wywierają wpływ nie tylko na tych, którzy piją.Podczas spotkania porozmawiamy o indywidualnych strategiach i systemowych rozwiązaniach wychodzących naprzeciw problemom, jakie picie i uzależnienie od alkoholu za sobą niosą. Zapytamy, dlaczego nocne ograniczenia sprzedaży w 10% polskich gmin budzą tak skrajne emocje. Zastanowimy się, czy rosnąca popularność trendu NoLo i zmiana nawyków pokolenia Z to faktyczny przełom kulturowy, czy jedynie chwilowa - i bańkowa - moda. Naszych gości zapytamy, jak skutecznie regulować rynek, na którym jeden punkt sprzedaży przypada na zaledwie 300 mieszkańców, ale też jak świadomie kształtować rzeczywistość społeczną, w której alkohol wciąż odgrywa bardzo ważną rolę, jest dostępny na każdym kroku i postrzegany jako nieodłączny (no właśnie - czy na pewno?) element życia towarzyskiego, rodzinnego, a według niektórych - wręcz kultury narodowej. Spotkanie ma być próbą odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy polska rzeczywistość jest już gotowa na systemową zmianę - i trzeźwość. W rozmowie wzięli udział:Marta Markiewicz - asystentka zdrowienia oraz twórczyni internetowa niepijąca alkoholu od 28 listopada 2016 roku. Propagatorka życia w trzeźwości. Organizatorka trzeźwych imprez i randek SobeRave. Autorka głośnej książki Bez alko i dragów jestem nudna. dr Jacek Moskalewicz - socjolog i badacz zdrowia publicznego specjalizujący się w epidemiologii uzależnień oraz polityce alkoholowej. Jest autorem lub współautorem około 350 publikacji. Przez kilkadziesiąt lat kierował Zakładem Badań nad Alkoholizmem i Toksykomaniami w Instytucie Psychiatrii i Neurologii w Warszawie. Członek panelu ekspertów Światowej Organizacji Zdrowia, w latach 2008-2015 wiceprzewodniczący Science Group przy Alcohol and Health Forum Komisji Europejskiej. Laureat Jellinek Memorial Award (2001). Redaktor naczelny kwartalnika "Alcoholism and Drug Addiction/Alkoholizm i Narkomania", członek komitetów redakcyjnych "Addiction, Drugs: Education, Prevention & Policy", "Nordic Studies on Alcohol and Drugs".Debatę poprowadziła Magdalena Kicińska, redaktorka prowadząca w "Piśmie", reporterka i poetka.  --Zamów aktualny numer magazynu: https://magazynpismo.pl/kup-aktualny-numer-pisma/

Welcome back to Proper True Yarn! Recorded LIVE at AlphaFest, this episode is packed with wild, hilarious and unbelievable crowd yarns. First up, Zak meets a drummer with one of the most cooked highway stories you'll ever hear, involving a dodgy Honda Accord and a very questionable driver. Then Chris shares an incredible survival story after being diagnosed with stage four Burkitt's lymphoma at just 15 years old. Given only 12 to 24 hours to live, he somehow pulled through, beat cancer and is now 25 years cancer free. We also hear a classic old-school motorbike yarn from Townie, before the Novocastrian Nuisance wraps things up with a parenting lesson gone horribly wrong involving hygiene advice, a young fella and a scourer. Funny, shocking, emotional and very Australian, this is AlphaFest Live at its finest.#propertrueyarn

This week, Zak and Aaron are back at it with something potentially positive, for a change!

CannCon and Zak Paine open the Monday show with California's election count turning into a full display of the machine in operation. Spencer Pratt held a lead of over 20,000 votes on election night in the LA mayoral race, then batch after batch of late mail-in ballots arrived giving Nithya Raman 40% while she had been polling at 23% all week. The statistical probability of that shift is compared to finding a single grain of sand on Earth twelve separate times. CannCon maps out California's full fraud architecture: Smartmatic VSAP machines, motor voter automatic registration of noncitizens, gym memberships as valid voter ID, ballot harvesting with no limit on collectors, and mail-in ballots sent to every registered voter with a seven-day post-election acceptance window. The DOJ has been fighting California in the Ninth Circuit for over a year to audit the voter rolls. Trump calls it a rigged election live in his NBC interview with Kristen Welker, tells her she is either crooked or stupid, and walks out. CannCon plays the full exchange and makes the murder witness analogy: evidence dismissed on procedural grounds is still evidence. Zak and CannCon close by discussing the Resolute Desk bugging theory, noting Trump removed it on day one of his second term.

This is a special one. Adel Nero opens by announcing that June will be the final month of Taking it Back on Thursdays, closing out a show that has been on the air since 2019. From there, he and Zak Paine dive into a news mix that swings from the absurd to the strategically consequential. They open with the New York Democrats officially replacing the words mother and father in custody law with gestating parent and non-gestating parent, then pivot to the DC exorcist who was fired for publicly suggesting UFOs are actually demons. The conversation deepens into a real breakdown of why the GOP Senate is freaking out over Trump's weaponization fund and his appointment of Bill Pulte as acting Director of National Intelligence. Zak makes the case that Pulte is a Scaramucci style wrecking ball, an outsider with no loyalty to the intel agencies, and his very presence is already torpedoing the FISA reauthorization fight. They close with the California primary and why both guys think a major election integrity reveal may finally be near. Last call vibes, big topics.

– Jak się patrzy na ten przełom, rok 1989/1990, to jest przekroczenie jakiegoś portalu z jednej rzeczywistości do drugiej – mówi obrazowo dr Michał Przeperski, historyk z Polskiej Akademii Nauk i rzecznik Muzeum Historii Polski. W tym odcinku rozmawiamy nie o politycznej, a społecznej historii transformacji.

Formula 1 racing is a global phenomenon. McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown joins Katie to break down the historic turnaround of one of motorsport's most iconic legacy teams. After turning around a decades-long drought to win back-to-back F1 Constructors' Championships in 2024 and 2025, McLaren is officially back at the front of the grid. Zak turns Katie into an F1 convert as they discuss the team's cultural resurgence, the massive commercial explosion driving Formula 1's growth and the high tech nature of the sport and their team strategy. Join WIRED's best and brightest on Uncanny Valley as they dissect the collision of tech, politics, finance, and business, from Alexis Ohanian's newest tech venture to the effects of inaccurate information from artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots on social protests.

Episode 187 is a full call-in show, and the audience brings a lot. Jon Herold and Zak Paine open with the leaked Axios report claiming Trump called Netanyahu "fucking crazy" and told him he'd be in prison without him, plus a pointed takedown of Mark Levin's selective outrage about leaks only when they damage Israel. Max Southwest Patriot calls in with a tightly reasoned theory that the viral tick-box psyop was deliberately seeded to build demand for the Pfizer Lyme disease vaccine, walking through the week-by-week timeline from the first X post to Hannity to RFK Jr., and arguing NGOs are the laundering mechanism behind health scare operations. Rebelnator calls in to ask the question a lot of people are quietly thinking: have the Q drops and devolution framework made the MAGA movement dangerously passive? Jon and Zak give a layered, honest answer rather than a cheerleader response, including a frank acknowledgment that the movement must survive and outgrow Trump himself. Later callers dig into Art Bell's mysterious final broadcast in 2016, the NESARA grift, what the Founders would actually prescribe for fixing the republic, and a firsthand Brown Mountain Lights sighting from a Badlands cofounder who has footage.

Paul Lazenby aka “Jotak” from Steven Kostanski's Deathstalker comes to $2 Late Fee & Podcasting After Dark!

CannCon and Zak Paine open June with a Monday show full of big moments. Tina Peters walks out of a Colorado prison live on Steve Bannon's War Room, and CannCon and Zak play her full statement about lead in the water, a sugar-and-salt prison diet that destroyed her blood sugar, and violent offenders with 2050 exit dates sharing her facility. New Jersey's Delaney Hall ICE protests produce five out-of-state arrests from a single night, a truck driver's viral counter-speech that breaks Antifa's brain, an undercover infiltration of the protest camp revealing USAID-branded gas masks and tactical supplies, and Zak's framing that the entire occupation is a deliberate intelligence-gathering sting. A man who threatened to kill ICE officers and their families on camera is promptly arrested by the FBI, Todd Blanche confirming the DOJ is done tolerating it. The America 250 concert at the National Mall starts losing performers who claim they were misled about Trump's involvement, and Trump responds on Truth Social by offering to replace them all with himself and giving a rally instead. Muckrakers drops a seventeen-minute investigation tracking SNAP benefits purchased in Massachusetts onto boats to Santo Domingo and into Dominican Republic bodegas. Seattle's mayor refuses to investigate, citing community fear.

Tales From The Video Store pays tribute to one of the greats, Chuck Norris! That 80s Dude (John Toma) joins Zak to celebrate the life and career of Chuck Norris! Was Invasion USA Chuck's greatest movie? Does Zak still own the complete collection of Chuck Norris Karate Kommandos action figures? Will John or Zak drop a “Chuck Norris” fact in this episode?

Vitalik finally said ETH the asset matters. Zak Cole's reaction: ‘Should have said that five years ago.'

Vitalik published a post saying ETH the asset is the most high-value product of the blockchain. And David Hoffman sold his last ETH. Zak Cole, president of the Ethereum Community Foundation, and Greg Markou, co-founder of Sprinter and ChainSafe, join Laura Shin to sort through what's a bear market tantrum, what's a structural failure, and what would actually need to change for Ethereum to stop ceding ground to its competitors. The conversation covers the CROPS mandate, the rumored loyalty pledge, broken cryptoeconomics, and what Zak says the EF still refuses to admit.

This week, Zak and Aaron are back to talk about Bungie again, but not exclusively because of Marathon this time. It would seem that the bell has finally tolled for the long-beleaguered Destiny 2, as its studio is releasing one final content update before transitioning the title to maintenance mode. Perhaps more damning are the recent reports that a Destiny 3 has yet to be greenlit by Sony, and that Bungie is expected to be hit by a substantial round of layoffs in the near future.With all resources now going towards rescuing the struggling Marathon, what does the future look like? Can Bungie turn the game around, or will it continue to flounder? And if it flounders, what does that mean for the storied studio's long-term prospects?Please, enjoy.Sources:Reality Check: The Fate Of Destiny 3, Marathon And Bungie - Paul TassiBungie Announces The Final Death Of Destiny 2 - The Expected, Sad, Maddening End Of An Era - Paul TassiPlayStation Finally Realized Bungie Played Them - Bellular NewsWith ‘Destiny 2' Gone, No ‘Destiny 3' Is Coming - ForbesDestiny 2's End Reportedly Portends 'Significant' Layoffs At Bungie - Kotaku‘Marathon' Is Pulling The PvE Trigger In Season 2, A Sign Of Things To Come - Forbes(20) Marathon on X: "Launch, Learnings, and What's Next" - Bungie Blog PostListen to Beach Girl on SpotifyCheck Out MosscatMarket on Instagram

CannCon and Zak Paine open a packed Memorial Day Monday with a salute to fallen brothers and a show full of enormous developments. Trump skips Don Junior's wedding to stay at the White House, and instead of an Iran strike, he announces a broad peace memorandum of understanding with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain. Israel is conspicuously absent from the signatory list and receives only a separate phone call. The neocon wing explodes: Cruz, Graham, Pompeo, and Levin all melt down publicly, and White House spokesman Stephen Chung tells Pompeo on the record that he has no idea what he is talking about and should shut his mouth. Tulsi Gabbard resigns as DNI after her husband Abraham is diagnosed with a rare and fast-moving bone cancer. CannCon and Zak flag that her replacement is a 20-year CIA officer, arriving exactly as the CIA-versus-DNI battle reaches its peak. Catherine Herridge confirms the CIA was tracking every keystroke of Gabbard's DIG team, with an IT work order proving someone requested the surveillance deliberately. Republican senators screamed at Todd Blanche in a closed door meeting over the $1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund. J6 convictions are vacated. A federal judge dismisses human smuggling charges against Abrego Garcia calling them vindictive prosecution.

Adel Nero and Zak Paine are back together on a Thursday with Frankie Val popping in before heading to a wedding. The guys open on a stunning primary night that saw Trump endorsements go 37 for 37, with Cornyn collapsing in Texas the moment Paxton picked up the nod and a long list of establishment names like Crenshaw, Cassidy, Tillis, McConnell, Raffensperger, and Gabe Sterling all on the way out. From there, Zak makes the case that the GOP machine has spent years planting its weakest senators in the reddest states, and that pattern is finally breaking. The bulk of the episode is a layered breakdown of Thomas Massey's fall from principled outsider to opportunistic grifter, his late conversion to the Epstein issue, and why Trump zeroed in on his seat rather than going after Thune. The conversation closes on a sharper take: that the loudest pro-Israel and anti-Israel voices may be feeding off the same outrage budget, designed to fracture MAGA from within. Lots of nuance, very little hand wringing.

Over the past century, standardized testing evolved from a wartime sorting tool into the defining feature of how we measure children's worth and potential, fundamentally altering the mental health and learning outcomes of an entire generation. Now, as global crises mount and our leaders struggle to navigate staggering complexity, a growing number of researchers are asking: what if the root cause of civilizational dysfunction is something as upstream and innately human as the way we educate our children? In this episode, Nate is joined by developmental psychologist Dr. Theo Dawson alongside returning guest and philosopher of education Dr. Zak Stein to explore the history of educational testing and show how we've progressively narrowed our definition of learning while stunting the very mental capacities we most need. Together, they make the case that without restoring the developmental health of the next generation, no amount of policy reform or technological innovation will be sufficient to change humanity's current trajectory. At the core of this argument, they discuss the need to pivot our testing and developmental measurements toward those that foster mental complexity, individual growth, and fundamental human skills, ultimately leveraging change through the entire educational system. Both guests emphasize the central importance of cultivating an "earned sense of competence" – the deep, embodied confidence that comes from learning through genuine engagement with the world – which they believe is the most powerful resource a civilization can regenerate. What are the effects on critical thinking and development as a result of years of memorization and high stakes testing? How might reframing the goals of our educational systems toward cultivating human flourishing help both average citizens and those in power make better decisions for the whole of society? And if education truly shapes everything from geopolitics to economic behavior, what would it require of us to treat the next generation as civilization's most precious resource as we continue to face more societal and ecological turbulence? (Conversation recorded on March 25th, 2026)   About Theo Dawson: Dr. Theo Dawson is the founder and executive director of Lectica, a nonprofit organization that develops evidence-based developmental assessments and builds knowledge about learning and its role in the future of society. She received her master's and PhD from the University of California at Berkeley and is widely published in the field of cognitive developmental psychology.   About Zak Stein: Dr. Zak Stein is a philosopher of education and co-founder of Lectica. He is also co-founder of the Center for World Philosophy and Religion, the Civilization Research Institute, and the Consilience Project. He is the author of dozens of published papers and two books, including Education in a Time Between Worlds. Zak received his Doctor of Education from Harvard University.   Show Notes and More   Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?
