Welcome to episode #2 of the FloInsider podcast.

We recorded this interview a couple of months ago, while the whole world was still in a global lockdown, trying to figure out how to survive and shift their income sources. Yet this topic will always be relevant. Our guest is a talented wedding photographer - Alex Cohen. She is known for her fearless and eccentric personality, her non-stop travel adventures and charming French accent. But not many know how it all got started. How Alex moved across the globe, from Paris to Australia, at the age of 20 with zero English skills, little money and no friends or family waiting for her on the other side of the planet. We talk with Alex about her journey of becoming a successful international photographer, the challenges of starting over in a new place and of course the impact of a global lockdown on someone who is used to being on the road non-stop.

In the second episode of our Broadcaster Spotlight series, we sit down with Alex Cohen, the voice of the Iowa Cubs, to talk about the journey of his baseball broadcasting career, including his experience working the Final of the 2019 WBSC Premier12.

In this episode, David Graf interviews 2015 Idaho Falls Chukars and current Iowa Cubs play-by-play broadcaster Alex Cohen about his time in Idaho Falls in 2015. The 2015 Idaho Falls Chukars lost in the Pioneer League Finals to the Missoula Osprey, and the roster featured four future big leaguers so far. Cohen has broadcasting experience at multiple levels of Minor League Baseball, and he has traveled the globe calling baseball games. He also spent some time learning about broadcasting behind the scenes with the Oakland Athletics.

Cohen talks about his travels around the globe, who his broadcasting inspirations are, what makes Minor League Baseball so special, and his 2015 summer spent in Idaho Falls.
