This week, in a special episode of Hold Your Fire!, Richard is joined by Crisis Group's Caracas-based senior Andes region analyst Phil Gunson to unpack the U.S. military operation in Venezuela that led to the capture of President Nicolás Maduro and to assess what may come next. They examine how the operation unfolded, how it was experienced inside Venezuela, and the government's initial response. They discuss Vice President Delcy Rodríguez's assumption of power and whether Washington may be willing to work with a Maduro-less but still Chavista government to secure oil concessions rather than pursue full regime change. They talk about what Trump meant when he said the U.S. would “run” Venezuela. They also explore the weakened state of the opposition, the role of the military and armed groups, regional reactions, and the prospects for resolving Venezuela's political crisis. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

After a months-long pressure campaign, the U.S. military stormed into Caracas this weekend, capturing Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. We look at what this means for the future of Venezuela—with Phil Gunson, a senior analyst for the Andes region of the International Crisis Group and Luis Duno-Gottberg, a Venezuelan scholar, and the Lee Hage Jamail Professor of Latin American Studies at Rice University.

https://vimeo.com/1147502145?fl=ip&fe=ec What if your spiritual awakening requires you to go through madness of some sort or other, and mess? In order to really fully embody yourself as human and divine. It's such a horribly lovely journey to go through that madness. Today's guest, Jon Kohrs is with us, as we dive into this topic of madness, navigating your life in relationships and personal discovery and more.  Join us, to find out more! Jon Kohrs has spent twenty years in corporate America as a business and executive coach.  He is a teacher, as well as an advocate for caregivers and he is the author of, Getting Unstuck by Design.  Jon uses experiential teaching methods grounded in Reiki, Andean energy practices, shamanism, Jungian alchemy and mystic traditions. Jon Kohrs is a Chestnut-Paes Enneagram Academy Certified Coach and utilizes the Enneagram to design systems that help leaders in some of the most highly bureaucratic organizations in the United States to unlearn how they work, unlock organizational potential, creatively facilitate change within their team and work in a whole new way. In an effort to break the norms of how we express ourselves authentically, Jon Kohrs wrote, Horribly Lovely, a spiritual romantic memoir of a man's unconventional journey through love, addiction, infidelity, heartbreak, the overall messiness of being human and searching for the beauty of beginning again and again. It is a soulful story told with raw honesty,  poetic intensity and written with psychological depth to explore the truest sense of love and what remains after heartbreak. It is an ideal companion for anyone who's ever felt broken in a relationship or lost in their search for the perfect love story. Watch or listen to the show to find encouragement for facing the madness and messiness of our human journey and embodying yourself as fully human and fully divine.

His writing defies genre, weaving symbolic narratives that are dreamlike, lyrical, and poetic—inviting readers into the raw, unfiltered beauty of being human.  With roots in shamanism, the Enneagram, and Jungian alchemy, Jon explores the phenomenological experience of love—how it melts the hardened statues of identity and invites us to play with the clay of the soul. Through this work, he seeks to break the norms of expression and awaken truth in its most idiosyncratic, real, and uncomfortable forms.  Jon also works as a designer, coach, and teacher who bridges the worlds of inner transformation and organizational innovation. He helps leaders shape visionary ideas into ventures that honor both soul and strategy.  Jon dives into the depth not to explain reality, but to live into his own truth. He lives in Kansas City with his three children and is a relative of the Slovenian writer Ivan Tavčar.

El boom de la gastronomía latinoamericana es innegable. Chefs latinoamericanos están tocando el cielo con una multiplicación de estrellas Michelin y los rankings mundiales premian la creatividad de la región. En la edición 2025 de los 50s best, los 50 mejores, diez restaurantes latinoamericanos se destacan.  La gastronomía peruana y mexicana siguen dominando, pero otra cocina también compite en las grandes ligas: la ecuatoriana. Ecuador exporta menús de primera hasta París, capital del buen comer por excelencia. Y precisamente de buen comer vamos a hablar con el chef ecuatoriano Raúl Meza que abrió hace poco "Le Vertueux", el Virtuoso en español. El amor por la cocina de Raúl Meza no empieza en los fogones, nace más bien con la televisión: "Todo comenzó a los 12 o 13 años cuando recién llegamos a París, a Francia con los primeros concursos televisivos de cocina como Masterchef o Topchef". Si en casa la comida era simple y el menú poco o nada ecuatoriano, al chef Meza le gusta recordar la "ratatouille" de su madre. Este plato muy simple preparado con berenjenas, calabazas y tomate que requiere ingredientes muy frescos y algo de arte. "Es un pilar de la gastronomía francesa", dice. La llegada a Francia tan jovencito fue un choque al paladar que lo llevó a interesarse por la cocina de su nuevo país, estudiar gastronomía y aprende con los mejores. Se formó con Michel Rostang - dos estrellas Michelin- trabajó también con Alain Senderens- tres estrellas Michelin. Desde abajo como aprendiz y luego hacia arriba, ocupa todos los puestos que se deben y pueden ocupar en una brigada durante el aprendizaje. De esos años codeádose con chefs reconocidos le queda el gusto por la "precisión", amistades duraderas y la curiosidad por la mezcla de influencias sin olvidar "ser constante y amar lo que haces, porque si no lo amas realmente con el trabajo es muy duro". Un viaje hacia las raíces En ese entonces, los ingredientes ecuatorianos no forman parte de su repertorio. Pero en las cocinas donde trabaja le piden cada vez más que proponga platos sudamericanos, "pero me eran poco conocidos". Un viaje por su natal Ecuador en 2015 y luego un periplo por los países vecinos de tres años le abrirán un mundo de sabores: "Tuve la suerte de estar en la Amazonía, en Galápagos también viajé por toda la Cordillera de los Andes, conociendo la papa, el maíz, las variedades inmensas que hay de papa, las variedades inmensas de maíz. El verde. El plátano. Todo lo que es el pescado, la manera de cocinarlo muy diferente acá, los gustos. Esos sabores que poco a poco fui aprendiendo a lo largo de mis viajes".  Al regresar a París se incorpora en otro restaurante de prestigio, pero la semillita de abrir un restaurante propio ya estaba plantada. En el famoso Georges V observa cómo el chef- casado con una mexicana- incorpora las influencias de esa cocina. De todo ese caminar surge la idea de proponer una experiencia gastronómica en París inspirada de la comida ecuatoriana.  Un boom de cocina latinoamericana en París Le Vertueux abre en marzo del 2025 con foie gras escalfado en cacao de Perú acompañado de su condimento de maracuya o fruta de la pasión, camarón carabinero encocado y gnocchis de banano verde: "Tenemos productos sudamericanos, cacao, café, productos que van a venirse a mezclar con los productos típicos franceses de aquí. La gente que ha probado le ha gustado esa mezcla entre el amargo del café, lo ácido del maracuyá". La apertura de este restaurante se inscribe en un boom de restaurantes gastronómicos y no gastronómicos latinoamericanos en París: "Poco a poco la cocina sudamericana se está haciendo conocer mucho más. Cambia un poquito también de la influencia asiática que había antes aquí en París y ayuda a descubrir sabores, productos, frutos interesantes con gustos mucho más fuertes, mucho más ácidos que a los ecuatorianos y a los franceses les está gustando mucho más." La pregunta que se plantea es si la fusión es una obligación para acercar al público francés a esta gastronomía: "Nosotros hicimos muchos test antes de lanzar los menús, no es necesario utilizar el foie gras. Podemos utilizar la comida un poquito más natural, como hacemos en América Latina. Pero sí, lo que sí hay es que adaptar los gustos, porque muchas veces lo que tuvimos es que los gustos eran demasiado fuertes o no bien acogidos. Entonces poco a poco vamos regulando los sabores, lo ácido más que todo para llegar al paladar francés, que sí está ávido de encontrar,nuevos gustos, pero al mismo tiempo quieren también tener la armonía que conocen en los platos".    #EscalaenParís también está en redes sociales Un programa coordinado por Melissa Barra y Julia Courtois, realizado por Hadrien Toureaud y Guillaume Buffé

Imaginez, vous vous baladez, dans une forêt tropicale. Quand tout à coup, des odeurs de Saucisse de Francfort et de salade de pomme de terresviennent vous chatouiller les narines. Non vous n'êtes pas à Berlin mais bien au Pérou, coincé quelque part entre les Andes et l'Amazonie. Bienvenue à Oxapampa. C'est ici, que des colons allemands ont posé leur valise il y a 150 ans et leurs descendants comptent bien conserver les traditions. Un reportage de Martin Chabal   Oxapampa, petite ville de près de 20 000 habitants nichée au cœur des Andes tropicales péruviennes, semble tout droit sortie de la Forêt-Noire allemande. Fondée au milieu du XIXᵉ siècle par des colons austro-allemands, leurs descendants revendiquent encore aujourd'hui cet héritage singulier. Chaque année, ils célèbrent leurs origines lors d'un défilé coloré et parfois kitsch, mêlant costumes traditionnels, chars décorés et musique folklorique. Cette fête raconte l'histoire des familles fondatrices, comme celle des Albergrin, et intrigue les touristes, surpris de découvrir une culture germanique transplantée au cœur de la jungle andine.  Nasry Asfura déclaré vainqueur de l'élection présidentielle au Honduras  La presse revient largement sur cette proclamation qui intervient après des semaines de vives contestations postélectorales et d'un climat d'incertitude qui a tenu la population en haleine, écrit le journal Processo. Connu du grand public sous les surnoms de « Tito » ou « Papi a la orden », Nasry Asfuras'emploie à projeter l'image d'un candidat proche des gens, écrit la chaîne CNN en espagnol. S'il accède à la présidence du Honduras, le président élu devra aussi répondre à d'autres enjeux majeurs, estime CNN: la crainte des Honduriens face aux fraudes de la classe politique, la situation économique, l'emploi et la corruption, qui figurent parmi les principales préoccupations de la population. Bien que l'homme d'affaires promette « un gouvernement transparent » dans lequel le peuple « puisse avoir la certitude que ses fonds et ses impôts sont bien gérés », il lui faudra construire cette légitimité au sein d'un Parti national du Honduras terni par des affaires de corruption et par la condamnation pour narcotrafic de l'ancien président et dirigeant du parti, Juan Orlando Hernández.    Si les résultats du scrutin sont validés définitivement, cette l'élection représenterait aussi une victoire pour le président américain Donald Trump. C'est ce qu'on peut dans le New York Times. Le journal rappelle que Donald Trump a apporté son soutien au candidat conservateur, quelques jours avant le scrutin. Le président a déclaré sur les réseaux sociaux qu'ils pourraient travailler ensemble pour faire face aux « narco-communistes » — un terme péjoratif désignant le parti de gauche au pouvoir au Honduras et ses alliés dans la région, notamment le Venezuela — et pour acheminer de l'aide vers le pays.  Aux Etats-Unis, des millions d'enfants ont pu suivre la trajectoire du Père Noël.   Encore une fois, le père Noël est traqué par le très sérieux Commandement de la défense aérospatiale de l'Amérique du Nord, le NORAD. C'est à la Une de Newsweek. Ce qui a commencé par un appel téléphonique composé par erreur en 1955 est devenu une tradition très appréciée. A l'époque, un enfant a appelé le NORAD par accident. L'officier de service, le colonel Harry Shoup, a joué le jeu, lançant ainsi ce rendez-vous annuel. Une tradition à laquelle même les présidents n'y échappent pas. Donald Trump a ainsi parlé aux jeunes auditeurs via le Commandement de la défense aérospatiale de l'Amérique du Nord. Lors de ses conservations il a assuré de veiller à ce que le père Noël est sage et qu'il n'y ait pas de mauvais père Noël qui s'infiltrent dans le pays. Après avoir décroché le téléphone, il a publié un message virulent, souhaitant un « Joyeux Noël à tous, y compris – je cite - à la racaille d'extrême gauche ».   Haïti :  « Réveillez-vous »   C'est le titre de l'éditorial de Frantz Duval qui était en direct dans le  journal pour parcourir la Une du Nouvelliste. Le rédacteur en chef estime qu'en « rêvant d'un meilleur avenir, le peuple haïtien, ces dernières années, a accordé foi à des bonimenteurs. Sans mettre la main à la pâte, le pays a livré son destin au Conseil présidentiel de transition et espère des miracles de la Force de répression des gangs. Il n'en sera rien si chaque Haïtien n'est pas éveillé et vigilant », écrit Frantz Duval qui revient aussi sur l'attaque en mer déjouée par les autorités haïtiennes.  Journal d'Outre-mer la 1ère   La Guadeloupe a rendu hommage aux 344 premiers travailleurs indiens débarqués le 24 décembre 1854 à bord du trois-mâts L'Aurélie.

The Amazon Basin is the most biodiverse region on Earth, being the home of one in five of all bird species, one in five of all fish species, and over 40,000 plant species.  In the podcast Carina Hoorn explains how the rise of the Andes and marine incursions drove an increase in biodiversity in the Early Miocene.

La inteligencia artificial es hoy uno de los motores económicos más poderosos del planeta. Empresas que desarrollan chips y modelos de IA valen más que países enteros, los mercados financieros se mueven al ritmo de nuevas promesas tecnológicas y miles de millones de dólares se invierten cada año en infraestructura, centros de datos y capacidad de cómputo.Mientras las bolsas baten récords, la economía real se comporta de manera extraña, según el MIT Technology Review, el 95 % de los proyectos de inteligencia artificial no está cumpliendo sus objetivos. Entonces, ¿estamos ante una revolución económica o frente a una burbuja impulsada por expectativas que aún no se traducen en resultados?En este episodio de IA, luego existo, la cuarta temporada de Clase a la Casa, nos preguntamos quién está ganando realmente con la economía de la inteligencia artificial y qué tipo de sistema económico se está construyendo alrededor del silicio, la energía y el cómputo. Hablamos de concentración del valor, de infraestructura invisible, de geopolítica tecnológica y de lo que significa este auge para países como Colombia, que participan del mercado sin controlar sus reglas.Nos acompañan Miguel Alguero, periodista económico de El Colombiano y Catalina Bernal, profesora de la Facultad de Economía de la Universidad de los Andes y subdirectora del área de Minería de Datos en Quantil SAS.Una producción de 070 Podcasts y la Dirección de Comunicaciones de la Universidad de los Andes.

What if the most memorable part of visiting Peru isn't Machu Picchu… ?In this episode, I sit down with Ericka La Madrid, founder of Delectable Peru Food Tours, a proud Peruvian who grew up surrounded by big family tables, Andean flavours, and the kind of culinary traditions that carry stories across generations. Today, she helps travellers experience Peru through its kitchens, markets, and regional dishes.Erica, is generously offering a 5% discount on when you book a tour with her, just mention the podcast episode and that you are following Delectable Food Tours and In My Kitchen on InstagramYou'll hear about:

The man was busy harvesting onions when we prayerfully approached him during the home visits we were conducting on our mission trip in Ecuador. In broken Spanish, I told him my friends and I’d like to briefly speak to him about the Bible. He paused to listen as we shared our testimonies with him. One of my teammates took out his Bible and started reading Scripture aloud (in English). What a sacred moment it was to hear Scripture being read on the side of the Andes mountains and to see the man reading along in Spanish with the booklet we had given him! We talked with him and his family who’d been working off in the distance, prayed for them, and continued to the next house. As we walked along the mountainside reading Scripture and talking to people about Christ, I thought of Jesus and His disciples walking along the hills and valleys of Israel during His earthly ministry. Isaiah 52:7 says, “How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation.” The prophet was referring to the time when God’s people would return to their homeland after years in exile, but it still applies to us today whenever we share the Good News of Jesus with others. Our opportunities may not be in the spectacular Andes, but wherever God has placed us, the Holy Spirit can help us share the message of salvation with those He puts in our path.

With a connected web of life all around us. Today's guest, Angell Deer is a mystic medicine man and an author of the newest book, Becoming the Medicine. He shares so many beautiful shamanic tools and experiences to get you started on your path of opening up this right side up world for yourself. Join us to find out more!

READ: Becoming the Medicine https://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Medicine-Sacred-Shamanic-Practice/dp/B0G25F2YQ5/ ANGELL DEER BIO Angell Deer is a devoted steward of rewilding projects across the U.S. and Europe. He walks the path of Andean Cosmology and Norse Shamanism, learning from elders, communing with the land, and listening for the old songs that still live in the trees, the bones, and the breath.  A weaver of stories, people, and worlds, he teaches from the fertile ground where grief meets grace, and where purpose is forged in the fire of personal and planetary transformation. His work calls us back to a more-than-human world, where healing is relational, and prayer is made with both hands in the soil.  He has spoken at Harvard Business School, the French Embassy in New York, and global gatherings such as the French Davos Forum and the Concert for Earth, where he was honored as an “Earth Rockstar.”  He now lives with his wife and children at La Ferme du Cerf Bleu, a renovated 18th-century farm in Burgundy, France, in devotion to land, community, and the mystery—tending to trees, bees, and ancestral ceremony.

Click click click… Greenland… Canada… The TACO wheel o' war might be coming to rest on Venezuela as US battleships cross the Andes to surround Trump's oil, land other assets. Join Master of Ceremonies Donald K. Trump tonight as he countdowns the number of corpses he has to feed into this Epstein thing. Trump's National Security Strategy is none of those things. It's not even Trump's, as what's in it for him? Greg Dworkin hauls in some polls from the awful place. That doesn't make them awful, of course, only suspect. Democrats are gigantically overperforming at this moment. That could change if the economy improves, and there is no way that is going to happen, and even MAGA knows it. Republicans unravel! Gops make or break moment on Obamacare has them going for broke. Trump staff posed for Vanity Fair cameras one inch from their noses and figured that this was just going to be a puff piece. Suzie Wiles is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being DC has ever known this week. Oh, the weather outside is frightful… but you can't prove that because the National Center for Atmospheric Research is being disposed of. Somewhere Tina Peters is smiling.

The Andean Condor is one of the largest flying birds in the world. With a wingspan that can stretch over 10 feet across, the condor doesn't flap so much as sail, using rising thermals to glide across the Andes for hours. Once revered in Inca mythology as a messenger of the gods, the Andean Condor now graces the coat of arms of Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, and Ecuador. But like many scavengers, condor populations are declining due to threats like lead poisoning and habitat loss.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

El cóndor andino (Vultur gryphus) es una de las aves voladoras más grandes del mundo. Con una envergadura que supera los tres metros, el cóndor no aletea tanto como navega el viento, aprovechando las corrientes térmicas para deslizarse durante horas sobre la cordillera de los Andes. Alguna vez venerado en la mitología inca como mensajero de los dioses, hoy el cóndor andino aparece en los escudos nacionales de Bolivia, Chile, Colombia y Ecuador. Pero, como muchas especies carroñeras, su población está disminuyendo debido a amenazas como el envenenamiento por plomo y la pérdida de hábitat.Listen to this episode in English here. Más información y transcripción en BirdNote.org.¿Quieres más BirdNote?

https://vimeo.com/1136707863?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci We've heard a lot about what doesn't work for us as women with the Me Too Movement and toxic masculinity and the recent Epstein Files, and we know what doesn't work for us as well. But do we know what does? And today's guest is gonna talk about relational masculinity as the next frontier beyond toxic masculinity. It's a beautiful conversation with GS Youngblood, and I welcome you to join us to find out more. GS Youngblood has been studying the dynamics of relationship and polarity for over 17 years. He has found that most relationship problems are a result of a lack of masculine leadership. GS Youngblood offers live training workshops to help men stop settling for a flat, contentious or toxic relationship. He offers a three month live online group experience for a community of 12 like-minded men with his Relationship Repair Boot Camp. He is also a two time book author of "The Masculine in Relationship” and “The Art of Embodiment for Men” A book about owning your strength while still connecting with your woman on a deep level. He has sold nearly 100,000 books to date and has helped tens of thousands of men transform their lives by boiling down a complex subject into a simple three-part framework that ANY man can embody: the Masculine Blueprint. Watch or listen to the show to discover ways to help men find their way to start living from their masculine core. You're Invited! FREE GIFT: MIR Toolkit https://www.gsyoungblood.com/toolkit   GS YOUNGBLOOD BIO GS Youngblood is the acclaimed author of the groundbreaking book “The Masculine in Relationship”, which challenges the modern notion that all Masculinity is toxic by offering a model - the Masculine Blueprint - for men to become grounded in their own power and more relational with their Feminine partner. The Blueprint is something any man can embody, and it fits in our modern #MeToo culture without being watered down in any way. The premise of his work is that many relationship problems are actually rooted in a lack of Relational Masculinity - which is a combination of groundedness, leadership, and relational skills. This is what he teaches to men. His two books have sold nearly a combined 90,000 copies, and he has become a highly sought-after men's coach. GS's work draws inspiration from various disciplines, including psychology, men's work, spirituality, martial arts, tango, meditation, and BDSM.

Hace más de un siglo, los argentinos comenzaron a explotar las minas de carbón de la región de Ischigualasto, una zona desértica del oeste del país, situada entre las estribaciones de los Andes y las Sierras Pampeanas, en la frontera entre las provincias de San Juan y La Rioja. A partir de una publicación del Automóvil Club Argentino en 1943 el lugar empezó a ser conocido con el nombre de Valle de la Luna, debido a las caprichosas formaciones geológicas que lo jalonan. Hoy en día, los yacimientos paleontológicos de la Cuenca de Ischigualasto-Villa Unión se extienden por dos espacios protegidos contiguos, el Parque Nacional Talampaya, en La Rioja, y el Parque Natural Provincial Ischigualasto en la provincia de San Juan. Ambos parques han sido declarados Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO por la importancia científica de sus yacimientos, en los que se puede estudiar el origen de los dinosaurios y de los mamíferos.

Se ordena la captura de Paola Fernández, implicada en el asesinato del estudiante de los Andes, Jaime Moreno, el abogado habla al respecto.

This month on Unpacked, we're diving into Afar's just-released Where to Go list—but this year's picks are different. In 2026, we want to lessen the burden on overtouristed destinations and expand visitation to other parts of the world. Our editors carefully selected 24 emerging regions and overlooked locales that will inspire your next great adventure. For Peru, that means looking beyond Machu Picchu and Cusco to discover what lies south—a region of white volcanic cities, canyons twice as deep as the Grand Canyon, and a food scene that rivals Lima's in flavor (if not fame). In this episode, host Aislyn Greene talks with Mark Johanson, a Chile-based travel writer and author of Mars on Earth: Wanderings in the World's Driest Desert. Mark recently explored southern Peru—from the gleaming colonial streets of Arequipa to the condor-filled skies above the Colca Canyon—and found a landscape rich with adventure, history, and some of the heartiest food in the Andes. Plan Your Southern Peru Getaway In Arequipa Stay at Cirqa—a luxury hotel in a 16th-century monastery Explore the Santa Catalina Monastery—a city-within-a-city with salmon-pink walls and centuries of history Eat at a traditional picanterías like La Nueva Palomino or the more modern Victoria Picantería Try the rocoto relleno (stuffed spicy pepper), chupe de camarones (river shrimp chowder), and adobo arequipeño (tangy pork stew) Wash it down with chicha de guiñapo—the original Andean purple corn beer served in huge glasses called "el caporal" Colca Canyon & Beyond Stay at Puquio—Peru's first safari-style adventure camp in Colca Canyon Watch dozens of Andean condors ride the thermals at sunrise Hike into the canyon and experience the climate shift from cold highlands to near-tropical canyon floor Mountain bike down a volcano (for the brave) or hike up one (for the rest of us) Cotahuasi & Toro Muerto Stay at Tinajani—a new tented camp in the Tinajani Canyon Explore pre-Inca ruins with very few other visitors Experience the wind-swept plains and golden seasonal landscapes Lake Titicaca Stay at Titilaka—with a new sister property coming in 2027 Visit the world's highest navigable lake at 12,500 feet Spot flamingos in high-altitude lagoons along the way Getting Around Belmond Andean Explorer—a luxury train connecting Arequipa to Lake Titicaca and Cusco SA Expeditions—for tailor-made trips and off-the-beaten-path Qhapaq Ñan (ancient Incan trail) adventures Resources Follow Mark's work on his website and pick up his book Mars on Earth Explore all 24 destinations on our Where to Go in 2026 list Follow us on Instagram: @afarmedia Stay Connected Sign up for our podcast newsletter, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Behind the Mic⁠⁠⁠, where we share upcoming news and behind-the-scenes details of each episode.  Explore our other podcasts, View From Afar, about the people and companies shaping the future of travel, and ⁠Travel Tales⁠⁠⁠, which celebrates first-person narratives about the way travel changes us.

My Ayahuasca Experience – Part Two: Night One With Grandmother There's a moment before every first ceremony when fear tightens, identity resists, and truth begins to breathe. Night One starts long before the cup touches your lips, on the plane, in the tension between who you've been and who you're afraid to become. By the time the sun drops behind the Andes and your name is called in the maloca, you realize there is no turning back. In this episode, I take you into that moment… the doorway between the known and the unraveling. Grandmother met me instantly, no warm welcome, no gentle reunion. My confidence was my mistake, and she humbled me with a cosmic slap that dragged me into the gravity of the real work. What followed was a war in space that was really a war inside myself: fear of loss, fear of failure, fear of collapse, fear of not being able to protect the people I love. And just when the darkness felt overwhelming, support arrived in the form of white light, my wife's essence, reminding me that even in the deepest battles, I'm not alone. Then came the purge… the clearing… the release. And what unfolded next were two funerals.One for the fear that my daughter needed saving.One for the fear that money could crumble my life at any moment. Grandmother melted my illusions, literally, and showed me the quiet truth beneath survival:Humans are here to love. Everything else is noise. Night One left me humbled, emptied, and changed. I wasn't done healing… but something irreversible had shifted.

Tema del dia Després d'unes setmanes sense parlar, el Joan i l'Andreu es posen al dia: viatges, mudances, obres... Parlem també de la Fira del Llibre de Guadalajara i d'una nova obsessió de l'Andreu: els noms de pobles i ciutats catalans. Som-hi! Inscripcions obertes als pròxims cursos de català! Les classes comencen el 7 de gener. (https://classes.easycatalan.org/) Bonus L'Andreu explica algunes anècdotes del seu viatge a l'Argentina. Transcripció Andreu: [0:15] Bon dia, Joan! Joan: [0:16] Bon dia, Andreu! Andreu: [0:18] Ui, ja començo malament. Bé, estic malalt. Joan: [0:29] T'anava a dir: "Com estàs?", perquè fa dues setmanes que no parlem, però ja ho veig. Andreu: [0:35] Sí. Vaig tornar del viatge malalt, de fet vaig estar dos terceres parts del viatge amb un refredat molt fort, que va començar com si fos una grip, perquè vaig estar dos o tres dies així amb febre, llavors la cosa va… es va suavitzar i vaig estar molts dies amb mucositat i tos, i els tres últims dies altre cop amb febre i molta tos, i al final va ser una bronquitis. Llavors, aquesta setmana he estat que no servia per a res i encara m'estic recuperant. Joan: [1:05] Però el viatge va anar bé o no vas poder-ne gaudir? Andreu: [1:08] Sí! No, sí, sí, ho vam fer tot, gràcies a la medicina, a la ciència, als (ibuprofens) i paracetamols. Sí, vam fer totes les excursions, vam veure les glaceres… bé, la més famosa és el Perito Moreno. Joan: [1:22] Perquè vas explicar que anaves a l'Argentina, en episodis anteriors? Andreu: [1:25] Crec que sí, que vaig dir que anava a l'Argentina. Potser el que no vaig dir va ser que anava concretament a la part del sud, de la Patagònia, que són tot paratges naturals brutals. Joan: [1:36] Preciosos. Molt bé. Andreu: [1:38] I, vull dir, molts llacs, moltes muntanyes… A la part del Calafate, que és com més o menys al mig de la Patagònia, és tot… bé, a l'Argentina hi ha molt territori que és estepa, no?, que és com desert, pràcticament, no hi ha res. I llavors tu estàs allà, veus l'estepa, que és tot més o menys pla, no hi ha pràcticament vegetació i tal, i de cop tens els Andes, bum!, muntanyes, saps? O sigui, no és com aquí que tenim el Prepirineu, que comença a haver-hi una mica de muntanyes, que es van fent més altes, més altes… Joan: [2:11] O sigui, és com si de cop pugés una muntanya allà a l'horitzó enorme, no? Andreu: [2:15] Sí, sí, sí. O sigui, tu estàs al desert i, de cop, muntanyes nevades. És molt curiós. I els llacs també són impressionants… Hi ha un llac que es diu Lago Argentino, que té un color blau cel, però un blau superclar, que es veu que és pels sediments de les glaceres, que generen a l'erosionar la roca, no?, perquè, clar, tot aquell gel, que és neu compactada, però és gel, diguéssim, doncs fa això, una erosió de la roca, que després deixa unes partícules en suspensió a l'aigua que no acaben mai de precipitar. I llavors té aquest color com... és com un… sí, un blau molt molt claret, no ho sé, molt curiós. Joan: [2:56] Que curiós. Andreu: [2:57] I després, més al sud, a Ushuaia, que en diuen "el fin del mundo", la Tierra de Fuego, doncs allà vam veure pingüins, lleons marins, també, vam veure còndors… Joan: [3:09] Molt bé, molt bé. Andreu: [3:10] Buà, va ser… va ser molt molt guai.

You can contact me here: rick@ricksaez.com Show Notes WHAT HAPPENED: Ever planned the trip of a lifetime… only to have your wallet vanish before the adventure even begins? Yeah. That was me. I was in Peru, fresh off a 40-hour journey, jetlagged, under-caffeinated, and apparently running on "let's misplace everything" mode. Somewhere between airport security and the Lima coffee line, my wallet poofed into thin air. Great start to a solo trip through the Andes, right? But here's the wild part — losing that wallet wasn't the disaster it felt like. It became the perfect kick-in-the-hiking-boots reminder that adaptability isn't just an outdoor skill — it's a life skill. That week, I slept in tents outside of homes where I didn't speak the language, ate potatoes dug straight from the dirt, and learned how "risk" and "reward" share the same trail. PRINCIPLE: What I learned — or remembered — was this: the outdoors doesn't wait for your plans to be perfect. And neither does life. You don't need permission, pristine conditions, or even a full wallet to step into something bigger than your comfort zone. You just need to go. And trust that you'll figure it out as you go. TRANSITION: But here's where most of us get stuck — not because we lack the gear or the desire, but because we've been trained to wait for the right moment. The right job title. The right guide. The right, whatever. And in that waiting, we lose the chance to hear what nature — and our own gut — is trying to say. THAT'S WHY: That's why I had Heather on the podcast. Because she gets it, she's blended a high-level marketing career with nature photography, conservation storytelling, and a serious dose of wild adventure. She talks about everything from leadership lessons in the backcountry to how observing owls in the city can rewire your creative brain. If you've ever wondered whether the outdoors can really shift your mindset, your leadership style, or even your career — this episode is for you. CALL TO ACTION: Feeling stuck in the scroll, burned out from the noise, and unsure where to begin? That's your sign. Stop waiting. Start small. And listen to this episode. It might just be the nudge your nervous system — and your soul — has been craving. Follow up with Heather on her website: Heather Physioc, Speaker & Trainer
