17 Things You Need to Do Before College

Aug 10, 2023

1hr 17 min

The Harlan Cohen Podcast is available on Spotify, Amazon, Apple Podcasts, Pandora, or wherever you listen to your podcasts.

High school gets them into college, but most students and their parents are not prepared for what's next. As a result, a record number of students struggle during the college years. New friendships, new classes, new schedules, new independence, new challenges, and new responsibilities can throw even the best and brightest. Most first-year students need help navigating the normal and natural changes ahead. Harlan helps students and parents get comfortable with the uncomfortable.

Mike Domitrz (Founder of The Center for Respect)

Aug 3, 2023

1hr 26 min

The Harlan Cohen Podcast is available on Spotify, Amazon, Apple Podcasts, Pandora, or wherever you listen to your podcasts.

About Mike:
Decades before mainstream America was discussing "Asking First" or sexual harassment cases were on the cover of every major media publication, Domitrz was being brought in by leading educational institutions and the U.S. military to help them pursue a new standard of consent and respect. With Mike being a Hall-of-Fame Speaker, the author of 3 books and an award-winning DVD, you get one of the leading influencers and thought-leaders on the topic of Respect.

You may have seen Mike on NBC Dateline as a featured subject matter expert or being quoted in international news publications such as Forbes and The Wall Street Journal. He is continuously being sought out for his proven track record of helping shift the paradigm for people.

In 2003, Mike founded what is now The Center for Respect which conducts keynotes and workshops for tens of thousands each year. Mike's extensive experience enables him to connect with audiences of all ages in honest, unique conversations that are always built on creating positive behavioral change for each individual and the organization as a whole. Imagine teaching 15-year-olds about “Asking First” and then later that same day talking with CEOs about creating mutually amazing relationships in the workplace.

And now in his unique weekend retreats, Mike is helping individuals and couples build mutually amazing relationships in every facet of their lives - from intimacy to loving relationships to workplace connections. Today, Mike is here with us.

Mark Salisbury: Co-Founder and CEO of TuitionFit

Jul 6, 2023

1hr 26 min

The Harlan Cohen Podcast is available on Spotify, Amazon, Apple Podcasts, Pandora, or wherever you listen to your podcasts.

ABOUT MARK:

Mark Salisbury is a nationally-renowned author, speaker, educator, and champion of college price transparency as a primary way to simplify and improve the college admissions process. His work has been highlighted by the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, TED, Forbes, CNBC, The Chronicle of Higher Education, and NPR. In addition, he is a regular podcast guest for conversations about college admissions and higher education. Mark earned his PhD from the University of Iowa and holds additional degrees from the University of Minnesota and the University of Kansas. Before launching the TuitionFit project (tuitionfit.org) to empower the public by crowdsourcing college price transparency, he was an Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs and Director of Institutional Research at Augustana College in Illinois, and a Board member for the Higher Education Data Sharing Consortium.

Mark's experience in higher education spans a quarter century at both large and small colleges and universities. He began his career in college athletics, coaching both men's and women's soccer at NCAA div. 1 and 2 universities. After a decade in college athletics, during a period of intense growth and change in women's sports, Mark stepped away from coaching to focus on admissions and financial aid. Shortly thereafter, he accepted a research assistantship on a national, six-year study of college students based at the University of Iowa. This launched a new phase of Mark's career as a higher education scholar, consultant, writer, and speaker.

Mark continues to write and present to audiences across the higher education landscape. His work with TuitionFit is featured in two new best-selling books that take you behind the scenes of what’s going on in the financial aid system- Jeff Sellingo’s “Who Gets In and Why” and Ron Lieber’s “The Price You Pay for College.” He also work with The College Guidance Network as their expert on all things college costs.

In addition to his work in higher education, Mark has been a professional musician, a stand-up comedian, and an improv theater performer, even conducting workshops across the country for educators on how to apply the principles of improvisation to improve teaching and learning.

Mark lives in Davenport, Iowa, with his wife, two sons, and five cats (MEOW!).
