    Sasha Zabar - Founder of Glace

    Sasha Zabar - Founder of Glace

    Sasha Zabar, son of iconic New Yorker Eli Zabar, is the culinary dreamer and founder of Glace, the Upper East Side ice cream and sweet shop.
    Sasha spent his childhood working at his father’s various businesses, including Eli’s Market and Eli’s Bread and then went on to attend the Nolan School of Hotel Administration at Cornell. His unshakable foundation in food, family, and business drew him back to Manhattan’s rich culinary scene, working stints at acclaimed restaurants like Daniel, Jean-Georges and The Mark between semesters.
    Following graduation, he worked with his father and twin brother Oliver to open Broome Street Bakery and Devon on the Lower East Side, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, he re-entered the family business full-time. Sasha helped rebuild the brand’s digital strategy by creating new websites and bringing in new technology, eventually increasing the market’s home shopping orders to hundreds per day. Sasha then went on to open Noglu, a gluten-free bakery in NYC.
    In June 2023, Sasha opened Glace, a French-inspired ice cream concept. When the cold weather arrived, Sasha pivoted to offer the now viral S’Mores Hot Chocolate, which led the shop to have lines around the block, more than 100k Instagram followers, features on The Today Show, The New York Times, Bloomberg and even a collaboration with Britney Spears.
    Sasha is excited to continue to innovate the offerings at Glace and expand the brand to a national and even global audience.
    On this episode, we explore Sasha's one way ticket to Edo period Japan, inspired by his love for one of his favorite books, Shogun, by James Clavell. 
    In the conversation we also cover Sasha’s passion for food, his grandfather as a role model, and his father’s work in expanding the American palate.
    Of course, we also talk about Glace, including: The Proustian nature of ice cream, bringing flavors to life, Glace’s wildly popular hot chocolate, the shop’s tantalizing summer menu, and Glace’s ice cream truck soon slated to open at Rockefeller Center next to the rink!

    Israel’s war against Hamas and why Gaza poses a challenging situation more so than any other urban operation since the end of 1945 The release of Israeli hostages The four tasks of strategic leadership How lessons of war are institutionalized The danger of lack of Western resolve on the world stage How what happens in one part of the world reverberates in another (e.g., if you have a red line in Syria over use of chemical weapons and it turns out not be a red line, that undermines deterrence in the Indo-Pacific) The importance of soldier morale Warfare of the future and the technology he’s following. As for the General’s very creative answer to where he’d go if given a one way ticket, please listen to our interview with him on episode 268 from August 2022.

    Daniel Libeskind - Architect

    Daniel Libeskind - Architect

    An international figure in architecture and urban design, the architect Daniel Libeskind is renowned for his ability to evoke cultural memory and is informed by a deep commitment to music, philosophy, and literature. Mr. Libeskind aims to create architecture that is resonant, original, and sustainable. Born in Lód’z, Poland, in 1946, Mr. Libeskind immigrated to the United States as a teenager and with his family, settled in the Bronx. After studying music in New York and Israel on an American-Israel Cultural Foundation Scholarship, he developed into a musical virtuoso, before eventually leaving music to study architecture. He received his professional degree in architecture from the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in 1970 and a postgraduate degree in the history and theory of architecture from the School of Comparative Studies at Essex University in England in 1972.
    Daniel Libeskind established his architectural studio in Berlin, Germany, in 1989 after winning the competition to build the Jewish Museum in Berlin. In February 2003, Studio Libeskind moved its headquarters from Berlin to New York City when Daniel Libeskind was selected as the master planner for the World Trade Center redevelopment. Daniel Libeskind’s practice is involved in designing and realizing a diverse array of urban, cultural and commercial projects internationally. The Studio has completed buildings that range from museums and concert halls to convention centers, university buildings, hotels, shopping centers and residential towers.
    As Principal Design Architect for Studio Libeskind, Mr. Libeskind speaks widely on the art of architecture in universities and professional summits. His architecture and ideas have been the subject of many articles and exhibitions, influencing the field of architecture and the development of cities and culture. His new book Edge of Order, detailing his creative process, was published in 2018. Mr. Libeskind lives in New York City with his wife and business partner, Nina Libeskind. The Studio Libeskind office headquarters are in New York City.
    On this episode, Mr. Libeskind reveals his one way ticket destination to the Garden of Eden before there was a Tree of Knowledge and before Adam gave Eve the apple. He shares why, what he would do there, whom he would take there, what he would take with him, and what if anything he would want to build in this perfect state of nature.
    In the conversation, Mr. Libeskind also reflects on the role of an architect and the social responsibility he has. Plus, he showcases some of his completed work including his affordable housing projects in NYC, Maggie’s Center at the Royal Free Hospital in London, and the Dresden Museum of Military History. He also shares projects now underway (he’s working in 14 different countries at the moment!) such as the Einstein House at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, a museum in the Atacama Desert in Chile and more. Additionally, he offers what the ideal memorial would look like to mark the horrific October 7th attack in Israel. And, we covered what he thinks about each time he walks through Ground Zero (for which he created the master plan).
    We wind down the conversation with Mr. Libeskind highlighting what role music has played in his life (he was a virtuoso) and just how much music and architecture both rely on precision.

    Koryo Tours General Manager - Simon Cockerell

    Koryo Tours General Manager - Simon Cockerell

    Simon Cockerell is from the south-west of England. He moved to Beijing in 2000, becoming Koryo Tour’s General Manager two years later. Having traveled to North Korea 182 times, he has probably been to the country more than any other westerner. Simon is a respected speaker on the DPRK and appears regularly in international media. Simon’s tireless work, alongside Koryo’s partners in Pyongyang, has been essential in opening up new territories within the DPRK to tourists.
     
    You can follow Simon’s adventures on his Instagram account: @simonkoryo.
     
    On this episode, Simon shares his one way ticket to a future utopian post-scarcity society. He offers why and what it will look like, including how travel may be impacted.
     
    Plus, Simon talks all about venturing to North Korea – from who goes and why, the “dos and don’ts” once you’re there, his favorite spots, and what would surprise most people about the country. 
     
    The DPRK has been closed to tourists since January 2020 and since September 1, 2017, the U.S. government has banned people traveling with a U.S. passport to the country. Like many, Simon is waiting for travelers to be able to visit North Korea once again.
     
    Meanwhile, Koryo Tours orchestrates some tremendous tours to off-the-beaten-path destinations (Turkmenistan, anyone?) which Simon also spotlights in our conversation.
