Kdo všechno je vlastně rodina, když jde o rodinný majetek, rozhodování a budoucnost? V této epizodě se dívám na zásadní rozdíl mezi tradičním pohledem na rodinu založeným na pokrevní linii a modernějším konceptem Family of Affinity – rodiny postavené na vztazích, důvěře a skutečném vlivu. Vysvětluji, proč partneři, nevlastní děti nebo blízcí lidé často ovlivňují rodinný majetek víc, než si připouštíme, a proč dává smysl je přizvat ke stolu otevřeně. Sdílím konkrétní příklady z praxe, rizika skrytých stakeholderů i to, jak nastavit pravidla tak, aby rodina dlouhodobě fungovala, rostla a nerozpadla se zevnitř.

Dying to Live: The Unfiltered Reality of Sickle Cell with AJ Dattani | The Edge on Affinity Xtra   "I'm no longer living to die. I'm dying to live."   In this powerful episode of The Edge on Affinity Xtra, host Roger Moore sits down with AJ Dattani, Chairman of OSCAR Birmingham, for a raw conversation about life with a severe sickle cell disorder. AJ doesn't hold back, sharing his harrowing journey from spending most of his childhood in the hospital, to surviving acute heart failure, to finding a renewed faith and purpose.   We also chop it up about the reality of sickle cell and thalassaemia across different global communities. AJ breaks down the life-saving impact of blood transfusions and blood exchanges, highlighting exactly why we urgently need more donors—especially those with the RO subtype from the Black, African, and South Asian communities. Plus, we look at the incredible 50+ year legacy of OSCAR Birmingham and how they continue to support thousands of patients and their carers today.   Stop waiting for death, and start living!

Canva's mission is to empower the world to design, and by most measures, it's working. Millions of people create content in Canva every day, which means design is no longer something that belongs exclusively to designers. Now, with the acquisition of Affinity, Canva is making a move into professional territory. So what does that actually mean for those of us who make a living in this space? In this episode, Theresa Jackson sits down with Steve Caplin to dig into Affinity by Canva: what it is, how it works, and why the conversation around it goes well beyond the software itself. They give an honest take on where Affinity genuinely impresses and where it still comes up short for professional work, covering the same questions a lot of designers are already wrestling with about their role in a changing industry. If you've felt friction between your design team and the non-designers who use Canva, or if you've found yourself wondering how your job is evolving, this one's worth your time. Episode Highlights Switching between Vector, Pixel, and Layout within a single document is a departure from everything most designers are used to, and Theresa and Steve get into why that matters Theresa calls Affinity Canva's "olive branch" to professional designers, and unpacks why that framing deserves a second look Affinity's live filters and real-time previews create a noticeably different editing experience, and the episode explores what that unlocks "Free" as a pricing strategy has real implications for who gets to call themselves a designer The episode covers what Affinity still lacks, particularly around publishing workflows, automation, and accessibility, and why those gaps keep professionals anchored to InDesign and Adobe The tension between design teams and non-designers using Canva is real, growing, and worth talking about openly Designers are once again being asked to justify their value, and this conversation doesn't shy away from that The bigger question isn't which tool to use; it's what's shifting in the design industry and how to position yourself within that shift Resources CreativePro Week 2026, Nashville, June 29–July 3, 2026: https://creativeproweek.com/ CreativePro Events: https://creativepro.com/events/ Save $100 on any CreativePro event in 2026 with the discount code PODCAST: https://creativepro.com/events/ Get $15 off one year of CreativePro membership with the discount code PODCAST: https://creativepro.com/become-a-member/ Steve Caplin: https://stevecaplin.com/ Theresa Jackson's Self Portrait with Photoshop Displacement Map Filter: https://mir-s3-cdn-cf.behance.net/project_modules/max_3840_webp/00bfb313226357.56271a3df0ccf.jpg Canva Create Keynote: https://www.youtube.com/live/9HkO8masPT0 Affinity Download: https://www.affinity.studio/download Affinity for Photoshop Users by Steve Caplin: https://creativepro.com/affinity-photoshop-users/ YouTube: Displace Filter in Affinity: https://youtu.be/_9ZFMs1GkPg

In this episode, David Warren – Co-Founder and Chairman of Bridgeford Trust Company – sits down with Andy Morgan – CEO of Affinity, a global corporate services provider supporting private wealth and asset structuring – for a conversation on global expansion, entrepreneurship, and identifying opportunity across emerging sectors. Andy shares how Affinity has evolved from its roots in luxury asset structuring, including yachts and aircraft, into a multifaceted global services firm supporting high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and businesses across industries including e-gaming, sports, and private wealth. The discussion highlights how niche expertise, jurisdictional strategy, and a disciplined approach to growth have driven that evolution. David and Andy also explore the importance of jurisdiction selection across industries, from trust planning to gaming regulation, and why it has a lasting impact. They draw clear parallels between their firms' philosophies – particularly around independence, collaboration, and delivering meaningful solutions – while also discussing Affinity's global footprint across the Isle of Man, Malta, Miami, Cyprus, and beyond, along with the strategy behind expanding into key markets in an increasingly global and evolving landscape.

Perpetua 35   WIth the entryway of Castle Eschatonica behind them, the two newly shuffled groups of adventurers head into the dungeon's perplexing (and perilous) hallways. Antistrophe Landrace, Uncle Nicky, and Caoimhe Wake find themselves amongst grime and dirt, with the sounds of explosions echoing in the distance. The rest of the group—Jonathan, Maebela, Elena Millefiori, Veile Lynndel, Brontë Adelvys, and his bodyguards Efta and Zolfta—are drawn by the sound of the winds towards something altogether more noble…   This week on Perpetua: The Castle Eschatonica 03   Perpetua Guide [Community Addendum Part 01]   Hey everyone! My name is Anne and I'm going to be filling in for FriendofNei for a little bit! I'm not really good at all that formatting stuff, so I'll try to make it up with extra information! Today's update is about the first few rooms you'll find in Eschatonica, but I'll try to add a little extra info about what this dungeon is referencing for people who are curious! (But beware of spoilers, both for Perpetua and the other franchises being referenced. I'll note them in parentheses next to the room name!) I've kept in the sort of chapter headings that Nei normally uses so that hopefully they can just slot it back in, if they want to, once they're back! (Oh, since I have no idea which room you might find first, I'm organizing this alphabetically.) Ready? Okay! Dungeon Maps [DNMP] Castle Eschatonica Map (IN PROGRESS) [CEDM] Balcony (Imago) I almost didn't even include this as a 'room' but it has a load screen, and a BEAUTIFUL view of one of the Castle's major towers (more on that next update!)  At first, you might think this is from Alteros because of the Tower view, the sky, and the invite to the High Masque. However, if you remember being in Violet Caliban's studio in Imago 2: Ancestral Fault, there was a south-facing window you could interact with. When you did, Violet said 'There's always a bunch of rich yuppies on that balcony. Bet they don't even enjoy the view.' (I love her she's SO MEAN). Even though you can't see the view from there, this is definitely that balcony! (You'll see why later.) Oh, and make sure to pick up the invite on the table! It's the easiest way to progress past the doorman.  Creature Cages (Genesika) This looks just like the room where Mossy Mozz gets placed after he gets turned into a regular mouse (instead of the cute mouseboy he normally is)! For people who haven't played it, you have to do this whole laboratory dungeon at mouse-scale, and at the end, you have to fight the cat who's been embedded with a Poison Spell Orb coalesced around the dead scientist's spirit. Anyway, be careful here, because you can get bitten pretty bad by a Bio-Rat if you're not careful!  Entryway I guess this counts as a room, but I really don't want to write up the whole solution to the puzzle, so um, can someone else handle this one? It doesn't really seem to be a reference to anything either, I think just totally original for Perpetua, so there's not much for me to add n.n;;;;;) Megamagnet Trap (Genesika) If you're not careful, you can lose items AND asta here, as a giant magnet will lift you to the ceiling and empty your pockets! While you can also get a little bit of money (or even a spell orb!) I think it's probably better to avoid this place all together!  (These are ripped right from the Scrapyard Dungeon in Genesika: Basilisk's Lament.) Necrosmith's Workshop (Ichoria) You can find a GREAT weapon here—the Blooded Blade, which was originally a bonus weapon you could unlock in Ichoria 2's Slice Mode.  Otherwise, beware of the Bloodstarved. I didn't fight them my first three times through this dungeon, but on the fourth time they really took me out! Though the special Celestial Laws for Ichoria really prioritize getting good physical hits in, don't forget about spells! Light spells are especially effective here because they're undead! (Which is probably why Light Spells are such a rarity in Ichoria itself!) Oracle Infirmary (Armidurge) Oh. My. God. When I entered this room I almost started to cry. Maybe you haven't played Armidirge III: The Unrecorded Records (which makes sense, because it was never localized), BUT let me tell you the short version. In AIII:TUR, you play as a trio of Saints, resurrected by the Creed of Oracles and pulled back from heaven so that you can fight the Windborne Church at the northern front, which has been all but abandoned.  As Revived Saints, you're really strong—you even get a couple of Reliquaries to pilot alongside your lay chapel (or are just regular people down on their luck who get sent to the front to be your grunt soldiers). You're told early on that if you die before the battle is over, you will lose your sainthood and that means your soul just goes to the Grace (which is like Limbo in Armidirge lore).  About halfway through the game, one of your three Saints (Soneya) jumps in the way of a full bore blast from the Windborne Church's Scirocco Cannon in order to save whatever Chapel member she has the highest affinity with. (Affinity is a stat characters get by fighting 'shoulder-to-shoulder' together). And if that character is one of Soneya's potential love interests (Jelissa, Vanderian, or Sunny (for me it was Jelissa)), you get a bonus scene IN THE MIDDLE OF COMBAT, which is like a flash forward to after the war, of that character coming to THIS INFIRMARY and kneeling at one of the beds and CRYING.  The whole rest of the game you have to carry on KNOWING that even if you win, Soneya's true love is SUFFERING the whole time, and that "winning" looks like more grief for them. It's. So. Good. Anyway, you can get a Panacea and a Deck of Oracles here. Trick Stairwell (Everything) Ha. Ha. Ha. The famous Trick Staircase finally shows up in Perpetua!  I knew it would be in here somewhere. In case you don't know, this thing will seem to stretch on forever once you start running up it, but the second you slow down (which normally happens if you want to stop and turn around the other way), the stairs fall out from under you and you fall down to the base (and normally into some sort of killer pit).  Sand Flooded Throne Room (Springsong) Hey! This is the title screen to the very first Springsong game.  In case you don't remember: You hit start, and the title card just fades away, and then three figures come in (they're the Wayward Scions) and march through the sand up to the Throne. And then Saffron says "Still empty." And the theme music hits! I was sure there was loot in here, but I can't seem to find it. Anyone find anything!?
