Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S7 Bonus: Nick Ippolito & Rowan Findlay, Squarekicker

Nick Ippolito has been involved with youth work for many years, and stumbled into web design and taught himself how to code. He's been married for 15 years, and he and his wife have 3 children - along with a budding startup the run together. They enjoy mounting biking in New Zealand and all things tech.

For Rowan Findlay, tech has always been his blood, with his family members working in the industry. In his younger years, he was into technical legos, and used to mod Xbox for pocket money.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Operation Valkyrie and the Plot to Kill Hitler

Adolf Hitler single-handedly started the Second World War in Europe. 

While the allies were desperately trying to end the Third Reich and Hitler personally, they weren’t the only ones trying to bring Hilter’s reign to an end.

Inside Nazi Germany, a small but committed group sought to remove Hitler from power, and they took action in July 1944.

Learn more about Operation Valkyrie and the plot to assassinate Hitler on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Bad Faith - Episode 235 – Negros to Hebrews (w/ Marc Lamont Hill)

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock our full premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast

Author, pundit, & professor Marc Lamont Hill returns to Bad Faith to reflect on (Kan)Ye West, Kyrie Irving, and why Black Hebrew Israelites hold such appeal for these big name Black American celebs. Was Van Jones right to apologize to Jewish people on behalf of Black Americans? Are Black folks being held collectively responsible in a way that differs from what is demanded of other group members when one of their own transgresses? What is it about the Hebrew Israelite ideology that's considered de facto anti-Semitic? And does Dave Chappelle's thesis, that anti-Blackness isn't treated with the same gravity as some other types of bigotry, hold up? If it does, what do we do about it?

New Books in Native American Studies - Belonging: A Conversation with Geoffrey Cohen

Why do we feel the need to belong, and what happens when we don’t? This episode explores:

  • What it takes to belong.
  • Why it physically hurts to be excluded.
  • How perspective-gathering can help create more inclusion.
  • A Discussion of the book Belonging: The Science of Creating Connection and Bridging Divides.


Today’s book is: Belonging: The Science of Creating Connection and Bridging Divides, by Dr. Geoffrey Cohen, which explores how we became so alienated from one another, the physical and emotional costs of exclusion, and what we can do to create belonging even in polarized times. Dr. Cohen applies his and others’ groundbreaking research to offer solutions for improving daily life at work, in school, in our homes, and in our communities. We all feel a deep need to belong, but most of us don’t fully appreciate that need in others. Small acts of connection such as reflecting on our core values, and a suite of practices that Cohen defines as “situation-crafting,” can lessen polarization, improve performance in school and work, and unleash the potential in ourselves and in our relationships.

Our guest is: Professor Geoffrey Cohen, whose research examines processes that shape people's sense of belonging and self and implications for social problems. He studies the big and small threats to belonging and self-integrity that people encounter in school, work, and health care settings, and strategies to create more inclusive spaces for people from all walks of life. He believes that the development of psychological theory is facilitated not only by descriptive and observational research but by theory-driven intervention. He has long been inspired by Kurt Lewin's quip, "The best way to try to understand something is to try to change it."

Our host is: Dr. Christina Gessler, a historian of women and gender.
