Climb high enough above the village of Les Contamines and Mont Blanc is suddenly right there, close enough to look in the eye, with only a handful of walkers for company and vultures turning slow circles overhead. That is the Haute-Savoie most people never see: the French Alps once the snow has melted and the ski crowds have gone home.In this episode, Imogen Strickland is joined by travel writer Olly Beckett, founding editor of Mountains Magazine, who has been returning to this corner of eastern France for three decades. Together they make the case for the quieter months, when the cable cars are still running but the prices have dropped, the meadows are thick with wildflowers, and the restaurants are genuinely glad of your custom.Olly shares the villages he keeps coming back to, from tiny Thollon-les-Mémises, the self-styled Balcony of Europe looking out over Switzerland, to lively Le Grand-Bornand with its Wednesday market, and the lakeside city of Annecy that he would happily call home. There is fondue and tartiflette, mountain huts and hot summer days cooled by a breeze, plus a proper look at how easy the region is to reach by train, and why that slower journey is part of the holiday rather than a chore.If you have only ever thought of the Haute-Savoie as somewhere to ski, this is your reason to go back when everyone else has left.Listen now, and explore more low-season stories at lowseasontraveller.com.Follow Low Season Traveller on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn.Learn more about train travel to the mountains via Protect Our Winters.

As sombras poéticas de Regina Pessoa estreiam-se no teatro. Aquela que é uma das mais célebres figuras do cinema de animação contemporâneo português e europeu desenhou um carnaval de animais para o espectáculo musical "Sports et Divertissements” [“Desportos e diversões”] que está no Festival Off Avignon. A obra foi criada por Erik Satie há mais de um século e era composta por peças musicais com textos surrealistas. Agora, Regina Pessoa desenhou um bestiário inquieto e radical, inspirada pelo impacto das alterações climáticas. "Sports et Divertissements” [“Desportos e diversões”] é apresentada como uma ֶópera de bolso visual e é feita a partir de um trabalho de 1914 do compositor e pianista francês Erik Satie. Mais de um século depois, chega ao Festival Off Avignon uma adaptação encenada por Hervé Tougeron, com composição musical de Catherine Verhelst e ilustrações de Regina Pessoa. Erik Satie desenhava com notas musicais, Regina Pessoa desenha com sombras inquietas. Originalmente, as peças falavam, de forma surrealista, de actividades de lazer da burguesia do início do século XX, como, por exemplo, a caça, o golfe, o ténis e o jogo da cabra-cega. Agora, Regina Pessoa partiu de uma das maiores preocupações do século XXI, as alterações climáticas, para imaginar e desenhar animais em poses e planos inesperados, que adoptam “um certo radicalismo nas suas atitudes porque já não têm nada a perder”. RFI: Como é que descreve esta obra “Sports et Divertissements”? Regina Pessoa, Realizadora de cinema de animação: “Foi algo que eu quis mais surpreendente, fresco e, de certa forma, reinventar o meu trabalho porque já tenho uma carreira, estou nos 56 anos e, às vezes, uma pessoa precisa de dar uma mexida, sobretudo, porque eu tive uma doença grave, recente, e senti essa necessidade de me reinventar, até para reganhar confiança porque essa doença abalou a minha autoconfiança.” Reconhecemos que é a Regina Pessoa quem fez estes desenhos porque tem um estilo quase inconfundível no mundo da animação. É a primeira vez que trabalha, entre aspas, para o teatro? “É a primeira vez. A proposta surgiu... Como eu disse, eu tive uma doença grave e é claro que isso abala fisicamente e psicologicamente. Eu tinha um projecto, e tenho, de fôlego, mas achei que iria exigir de mim uma energia e uma força emocional que eu ainda não tinha restabelecido e, por coincidência, recebi várias encomendas de trabalho de curta duração. Isso permitiu manter-me artisticamente activa e permitiu-me também algo importante que era um desapego, de certa forma, emocional com o projecto. Um desses projectos foi precisamente ‘Sports et Divertissements'. Foi uma companhia francesa dedicada ao ‘spectacle vivant' que me pedia uma série de ilustrações sobre as peças ‘Sports et Divertissements' de Erik Satie, que são 19 peças com canto lírico - porque no ano passado foi o centenário da morte do Erik Satie e eles queriam essas ilustrações para projectar durante a sua actuação musical. Eu gostei muito do projecto. Era um projecto mais leve, era um projecto engraçado. As peças do Erik Satie têm letras, para o tal canto lírico, para serem cantadas e as letras são pequenas histórias completamente absurdas e ‘Dada'. O projecto era mal pago e, normalmente eu diria que não, mas era muito interessante e as pessoas eram muito simpáticas e eu resolvi aceitar e pensei: eu posso fazer o que me apetecer e apeteceu-me fazer animais como personagens.” As peças de Erik Satie, esses poemas breves, não falam em animais. Como é que se lembrou dos animais e como é que escolheu os animais para cada poema? “Foi algo que me veio à cabeça ao assumir essa liberdade. Não sei porquê, vá-se lá saber, a inspiração tem dessas coisas. Apeteceu-me usar animais e acho que veio, talvez, de uma das peças que é ‘collin-maillard', que é ‘a cabra-cega'. Eu resolvi fazer esse jogo de palavras e imagem, porque em português esse jogo é a cabra-cega e eu apeteceu-me fazer uma cabra com uma venda nos olhos. Acho que foi esse, aliás, o primeiro desenho que eu fiz. Foi esse. Foi a partir daí que resolvi fazer todos com animais.” Há uma qualquer memória folclórica do mundo rural português neste carnaval dos animais da Regina Pessoa? “Eu não o conheço a não ser pelo nome dos jogos e das lengalengas. Um dos jogos, brincadeiras de criança é precisamente a cabra-cega. Mas eu lembro-me de outra, de algumas lengalengas, daquela quando se tem que escolher alguém num grupo. Havia uma que era: ‘Meu rim, meu rato, não tens bota nem sapato. Quem morreu foi o meu rato.' Há muitas lengalengas que falam de animais e é, se calhar, isso que também influenciou.” Lengalengas portuguesas? “Portuguesas.” Os desenhos voltam a um estilo de gravura expressionista, com contrastes, sombras, uma dimensão quase psicológica nos animais, mas também muita irreverência. Reconhecemos a sua linha, o seu estilo. Como é que se inspirou para estes desenhos antropomórficos? “Neste momento, a minha grande preocupação existencial são as alterações climáticas. Eu acho que era isso que deveria estar no centro da reflexão colectiva e não estas distracções que temos porque é tão flagrante as alterações climáticas cada ano mais acentuadas. Isso deveria ocupar-nos, unir-nos nesse combate e não é o que está a acontecer. No entanto, as maiores vítimas são os animais que não têm culpa nenhuma. São vítimas inocentes. Então, também talvez seja uma das razões que eu resolvi usar animais como personagens e usá-los numa atitude que a minha sensação era que os animais estão a dizer: ‘Eu não tenho nada a perder'. Daí essa atitude radical porque os animais são assim, não é? São honestos na sua crueldade e na sua fidelidade, também na lealdade. Eu explorei essa atitude de honestidade animal ao máximo que eu podia, um certo radicalismo nas suas atitudes de que eles não têm nada a perder como o mundo está. E depois, além disso, este colectivo, o que eles gostariam que eu tivesse feito era animações, mas não tinham orçamento para isso. O orçamento que eles tinham daria para meia dúzia no máximo de ilustrações e não para 19 como eu fiz. Como eles gostariam de animações, eu tentei transmitir movimento aos animais e eles estão como um ‘snapshot' do movimento. Eles estão implicitamente em movimento.” É diferente desenhar para o cinema e desenhar para uma projecção que vai interagir com actores e com músicos ao vivo? “Não faço ideia porque não vi o espectáculo, portanto não sei. Não faço ideia como é que funciona. Apenas posso confiar no relato da equipa de músicos que me encomendou o trabalho, que funcionou muito bem e que as pessoas gostaram muito das ilustrações que eu fiz, que mesmo estando paradas, parecia que estavam a mexer. E depois ponho-me a pensar se não será melhor assim porque se houvesse movimento, se houvesse animação, penso que a atenção do espectador iria perder-se entre a projecção em movimento e a actuação dos músicos que é o centro de interesse, não é? Portanto, se calhar é melhor que sejam ilustrações e não animações para potenciar a atenção na música, que é o centro da peça ou das peças, não é?” Mas a sua ilustração também está no centro da peça. Em 1914, quando a obra foi foi feita por Erik Satie, a obra associava a música e os desenhos de Charles Martin e o autor falava, de forma poética e irónica, em “publicação constituída por dois elementos artísticos: o desenho e a música. A parte do desenho é figurada por traços. A parte da música por pontos, pontos negros.” Ora, o desenho é tão importante quanto a música, não é? “Num filme é isso que acontece. Muitas vezes, esquecemos a banda sonora que está presente, é invisível, mas está tão presente como a imagem. Calculo que na visão deste colectivo que me encomendou os trabalhos, isso também seja assim. Será como um filme ao vivo, digamos, composto pela imagem e pela música, embora eu ache que, neste caso, como eles estão a actuar ao vivo, a música será o factor mais importante. Mas é como um filme, é composto pela parte sonora e pela parte visual.” Um espectáculo de teatro é, por definição, efémero, mas aqui há uma parte que fica que são os seus desenhos. As suas ilustrações estão feitas e vão ficar, não é? “Sim e de tal forma que, quando eu acabei a encomenda, gostei muito dos meus animais e estou a desenvolver um outro projecto. Gostei de trabalhar e de desenvolver este bestiário e estou a desenvolver agora um projecto meu de filme, não tem nada a ver com a encomenda que recebi, é algo novo, mas os personagens são animais e as alterações climáticas estão implícitas. O pesadelo vivo que é o mundo neste momento a nível das alterações climáticas em que vivemos e que os animais são as principais vítimas foi o que me motivou a fazer todo este trabalho.” Nesse pesadelo de que fala no que toca às alterações climáticas, a arte, a ilustração, o teatro podem ter um papel com mais impacto do que o trabalho propriamente político? “Não sei se com mais impacto. Eu não tenho qualquer perfil panfletário político. Não tenho esse perfil, gostaria de ter, mas não tenho. O que eu sei fazer é desenhar, tentar transmitir conteúdos ou mensagens através dos meus desenhos, das minhas composições. Portanto, essas são as minhas armas que eu sei usar, se eu soubesse usar outras, usaria outras. Mas como sei usar isto e só sei usar isto, é isso que eu estou a tentar. Eu penso que esse é o papel da arte ou de qualquer meio: usar com honestidade as armas que se possui para alertar ou denunciar ou chamar a atenção para a urgência deste momento em que vivemos. Antes, a arte e a cultura eram reservadas a um nicho elitista e, neste momento, está muito mais democratizado, portanto, tem possibilidades de alcançar um espectro mais largo de público. Penso que a arte e a cultura podem alertar, podem ser úteis na denúncia e no alertar desta emergência, tal como outras áreas, mas nós somos artistas, é isto que sabemos fazer e acho que devemos reflectir sobre isto através dos nossos trabalhos, das nossas criações.” A Regina Pessoa está habituada aos festivais de animação, nomeadamente o Festival de Annecy, em França. Recentemente também esteve no Festival de La Rochelle, mas o Festival de de Avignon é algo novo? “É a primeira vez que trabalhos meus estão num festival de teatro de artes performativas. Eu e o Aby [Feijó] somos um duo, uma parceria, uma parelha criativa e nós sempre tentámos, com o nosso trabalho, cruzar públicos. Um dos exemplos é que sempre que acabamos um filme, organizamos uma exposição, como nós fazemos curtas-metragens e as curtas-metragens têm um mercado muito limitado, fazendo uma exposição, alargamos o espectro do público. Por outro lado, para tirar o filme do ecrã, porque o público vai ver uma exposição, não é o mesmo necessariamente que ver um filme. É a primeira vez que trabalhos meus estão no Festival de Avignon, mas não é a primeira vez que temos esse tipo de atitude de cruzar públicos e gostava que isso acontecesse mais vezes.”

Último “Sucedió una noche” de la temporada. A partir de la próxima semana comienzan los especiales de “Sucedió una noche colección” con los que os acompañaremos hasta el final de agosto. En este episodio recordamos a una gran actriz muy popular en los años 40 y 50 como fue June Allyson, a la que Hollywood encasilló en papeles de esposa. Dentro de unos días se estrena la esperada versión de “La Odisea” que ha dirigido Christopher Nolan y para ir abriendo boca repasamos cómo nos ha mostrado el cine hasta ahora al personaje de Ulises. Charlamos con el director y animador Raúl García que hace unos días ganó en el festival de animación de Annecy el Premio Cristal al mejor largometraje por su película “La violinista”, un premio nunca antes conseguido por una cinta española. Y cerramos el serial dedicado al género de aventuras con “El renacido”, la película de Alejandro González Iñárritu por la que Leonardo DiCaprio ganó el Oscar al mejor actor.

Jason and Rosie are back with the biggest pop culture news of the week. First up: they've seen Supergirl. In a spoiler-free breakdown, they weigh in on Craig Gillespie's DCU debut — a film that survived 10+ test screenings, extensive reshoots, and an apparent crisis of confidence from the studio. The verdict? Against all odds, it's... pretty okay. Then: DC's massive animation slate out of Annecy, including the Batman Caped Crusader Season 2 trailer (all 10 episodes drop July 31 on Prime Video), and the surprise announcement of Nightfall — an R-rated animated trilogy adapting the legendary Knightfall arc, with Anson Mount as Batman, Michael Manas as Bane, and Pablo Schreiber as Azrael.

Send us Fan MailKarina Andersen's season doesn't start with a perfect training block, it starts with a hard reset. After closing out her track era at Colorado School of Mines, she steps away from school for breathing room, takes on Denali, and then spends months living in Chamonix to see what a true mountain town feels like day to day. We talk about the real pressure that can come with places like Chamonix and Boulder, where it's easy to feel like you have to “earn” your time there with constant vert, big objectives, and public training proof.Then the comeback gets loud. Karina spends the winter going all-in on ski mountaineering with almost zero running, and still shows up in Asia to race the Penang Sky Race in Malaysia and the Ueda Sky Race in Japan, taking 4th and 8th. We break down what heat and humidity do to pacing, why concrete downhills can shred your quads, how mud changes risk and speed, and why uphill fitness can return faster than downhill durability when you've been on skis for months.The most important part is the mental side. Karina shares what it's like to carry a tough DNF and panic mid-race, then rebuild confidence by changing the goal from “place” to “stay present.” We also get into her 2026-focused skyrunning plans, thoughts on UTMB and Golden Trail, and a wild new skill: learning to paraglide in Annecy, with a long-term dream of hike-and-fly racing like Red Bull X-Alps.If you're into skyrunning, trail running, mountain racing, ski mountaineering, or just figuring out the next chapter, this one hits.

DC Studios dropped three major animation announcements at Annecy this morning, and this episode breaks down all of them. The headliner is an Absolute Batman animated series with the comic's own creative team steering the ship, followed by Joker: Laugh Riot, an original anime that flips the Batman formula on its head, and a Krypto series that brings a much lighter, family-friendly energy to the slate. No manor, no money, all Batman, and that is just the start.Beyond the three big reveals, this one digs into why these announcements matter for the bigger picture. With projects like Mister Miracle from Tom King already in the works, DC is treating animation as a real priority rather than a side project. The takeaway is simple: animation has become the place where these characters can be told accurately and ambitiously, the same way Invincible and X-Men '97 proved the medium can carry the most compelling superhero stories around.00:00:00 DC Studios' Big Annecy Announcements00:00:04 Absolute Batman Gets an Animated Series00:00:29 Joker: Laugh Riot, DC's First Anime00:00:57 Krypto and the SpongeBob Connection00:01:17 Why Animation Is No Longer a Side Project for DC00:01:32 Listener Question and Sign OffAbsolute Batman is getting an animated series with Scott Snyder showrunning and artist Nick Dragotta producing, so the comic's creative team stays intact. No release date yet.The Absolute Batman comic has sold more than 6 million copies, with the first volume already on its 11th printing. This version is a working-class Bruce Wayne with no fortune, no manor, only one parent lost, and a civil engineer who builds all his own tools.Joker: Laugh Riot is an anime from WB Animation, DC Studios, and Japan's SOLA Entertainment, the studio behind The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, with the same director attached.The Joker story is original: after Batman is killed, the Joker tears through Gotham's underworld hunting the culprit, because he realizes he does not know who he is without Batman.The Krypto series is the furthest out and the most lighthearted, following Superman's dog as he runs with a gang of misfit criminals. C.H. Greenblatt of SpongeBob fame is developing it, so expect that playful energy.The bigger story is that DC is putting real weight behind animation now, with Mister Miracle from Tom King and more on the way. Following the lead of Invincible and X-Men '97, animation is where these comic-accurate stories can truly shine."If you're not on the absolute train yet, get on it. It's so good.""He works on the city during the day, fights crime at night, and he's beefy as hell.""Animation is no longer a side project for these guys. They're actually putting a lot of mustard behind this."For the latest geek news, head to GeekFreaksPodcast.com, our source for everything covered on the show.If you enjoyed this episode, subscribe wherever you get your podcasts, leave a review, and share it with a fellow geek using #GeekFreaks.Follow us:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thegeekfreakspodcastThreads: https://www.threads.net/@geekfreakspodcastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcastFrank: @franklourence79Thomas: @thomascraigviiiAre you reading Absolute Batman?

Adrien Guyon est Founding Engineer chez RockFi, où il construit depuis le premier jour les outils et l'infrastructure à destination des conseillers et des clients finaux.Adrien sort de l'INSA Lyon en génie industriel, mais c'est l'entrepreneuriat qui l'attire. Il complète son parcours par un master à HEC, puis plonge directement dans un startup studio à Paris. L'expérience est riche, mais elle lui révèle qu'il veut aller plus loin — et surtout maîtriser la tech. Il rejoint Qonto comme premier employé ops, côtoie les meilleurs ingénieurs de la boîte, et décide de tout réapprendre. Six mois de formation intensive avec des amis, et il entre chez Forest Admin comme développeur junior. Il y passera cinq ans, de développeur à engineering manager.C'est Maxime, le futur CTO de RockFi — et ami de longue date à Annecy — qui l'embarque dans l'aventure. Ensemble, ils rencontrent Pierre et Marie. Le coup de cœur est immédiat et mutuel. Adrien devient le premier ingénieur de la boîte, sans fiche de poste définie : product, front-end, architecture — il fait tout, il construit tout.Le plus grand défi inattendu ? La data. Les flux des partenaires financiers sont truffés d'erreurs, rien n'est standardisé. Toute l'architecture doit être repensée. Une leçon fondatrice : RockFi est avant tout une data company.Startup Mafia, c'est une émission qui plonge au cœur des startups et scale-ups à travers les parcours de celles et ceux qui les font grandir. Chaque saison met en lumière une entreprise de référence dans la Tech et se construit autour de 8 épisodes de 30 à 45 minutes. Au fil des conversations, 8 execs, dirigeants et talents clés de l'entreprise partagent leurs trajectoires, leurs choix, leurs échecs et tous leurs apprentissages dans leur aventure. Un format pensé pour valoriser les équipes, inspirer la communauté et raconter l'aventure startup de l'intérieur. Animé par Kamel Zeroual et Paul Terrasson Duvernon.

Maintenant Vous Savez, c'est aussi ⁠Maintenant Vous Savez - Santé⁠ et ⁠Maintenant Vous Savez - Culture⁠. On peut commencer par rappeler qu'il s'agit d'une maladie très commune, avec 12 millions de cas chaque année en France. Ce virus se manifeste au niveau cutané, sous forme de poussées, et reste à vie dans notre organisme. La fréquence des récidives varie selon les individus, et il est tout à fait possible de ne faire qu'une poussée unique d'herpès au cours de sa vie. Sur France bleu, le docteur Charles Mercier Guyon, médecin à Annecy, précise que la primo-infection se fait généralement au travers de la varicelle ; le virus peut alors se réactiver mais cette fois sous forme d'herpès, à l'occasion d'une baisse immunitaire, d'un état de fatigue ou d'un surmenage. Il peut prendre plusieurs formes ? Comment faire pour ne pas contaminer son entourage ? Peut-on soulager les symptômes ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant Vous Savez - Santé".

Christian Meier returns to the Singletrack Podcast to discuss one of the most ambitious talent development initiatives the sport has ever seen: Salomon's Next Gen program, which he leads as Head of Performance Programs.The first section covers how this role came about, what it looks like day to day, and why trail running's elite development infrastructure has lagged so far behind other endurance sports for so long. Christian takes us inside the Annecy selection camp, the evaluation process that combined lab testing, field assessments, and individual interviews, and the hard decisions involved in selecting nine athletes from seventeen candidates.The conversation then moves into the architecture of the program itself. What full-season integration with Salomon's performance structure means for a 20-year-old athlete on a Tuesday in March, what the financial picture looks like for the athletes, and how much autonomy they have over their own competitive calendars. We also compare Next Gen to Andy Wacker's Trail Team and what the spectrum of approaches to elite development tells us about what these athletes need.From there, Christian draws on his cycling background to examine what the marginal gains framework imports into trail running and where it breaks down. We discuss injury philosophy, the risk of burnout in high-performance development environments, what mental progress looks like and how you measure it, and how Christian thinks about building identity resilience into athletes who are still figuring out who they are.The final section pulls back to the questions that matter beyond this program. Whether deeper talent pipelines produce competitive parity at the top or just raise the floor, whether trail running ever develops the kind of specialized team roles that define professional cycling, and whether Christian is trying to build something Salomon owns or something the whole sport adopts.Partners:Precision Fuel and Hydration - use code SINGLETRACK at checkout for 15% off your next orderNorda - check out the 005: the lightest, fastest, most stable trail racing shoe ever madeRaide - Making equipment for efficient human-powered movement in the mountains Janji - premium trail running apparelMomentous - use code SINGLETRACK for up to 35% off your first order Kodiak Cakes - my favorite oatmeal and pancakes Support the show

Most of us who exercise are doing it because we want to feel better. So why does the sports nutrition industry keep handing us products that look like they belong in a laboratory? If you have ever mid-run reached for a neon gel and thought, "Is this actually good for me?" — this episode is for you. In this conversation on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, guest host Sana sits down with Anouck Grau and Christopher Bellamy, co-founders of Yanaa — a French real-food sports nutrition startup challenging the ultra-processed status quo. They explore why the industry got it so wrong, why a healthy gut matters more than any single supplement, and why the food you eat during sport should taste like a human made it.   About the Guests: Anouck Grau is a former professional snowboarder, certified holistic nutritionist, and chef based in Annecy, France. She co-founded Yanaa after years of watching elite athletes fuel themselves with products she refused to touch. Christopher Bellamy is a biodesigner, engineer, and former elite triathlete who previously worked on electric cars and recyclable shoes. His systems-thinking background shapes how Yanaa approaches both product science and sustainability. Together, they lead Yanaa (yanaa.food) — a real-food endurance nutrition brand making chef-cooked savory purees from organic legumes, cooked in Provence, and tested by professional athletes. Key Takeaways: A survey of 592 athletes found that 78% believe existing sports nutrition is unhealthy, 77% find it unpleasant to eat, and 75% want savory options. The industry knows, and still has not moved — because ultra-processed products are cheap to make, easy to market, and profitable to sell. Food legislation in Europe is largely based on studies validated in 2006. This means real, whole foods like vegetables and legumes — which offer broad nutritional diversity rather than high concentrations of one nutrient — legally cannot be marketed the same way processed products can. The system inadvertently favors junk. Real food genuinely performs. Studies comparing energy gels to raisins, mashed potato, and bananas found no difference in athlete performance — and in some cases, real food produced lower inflammation and better flavour tolerance. Your body only burns significant carbohydrates at high intensity (roughly 65-75% VO2 max sustained for hours). Most recreational athletes are not there most of the time. Eating like an Olympic champion on a Sunday jog is unnecessary and potentially harmful. Gut health is the foundation of athletic performance. If your digestive system is compromised, you cannot absorb the nutrition you are consuming — no matter how well-designed the product is. A healthy athlete absorbs better, performs better, and recovers better. Blindly copying what professional athletes eat is a mistake. They have private chefs, gut analysis, and medical support. Without that infrastructure, consuming their fuelling strategy can do more harm than good.

[07:30] The Gap Nobody Talks About — Anouck reflects on growing up with real food and training as a professional snowboarder, and why she never once touched a gel. [13:00] Why the System Stayed Broken — Sugar is cheap, sterilization is easy, and legislation from 2006 still governs what can be marketed. Chris maps the structural problem. [19:30] The Business of Simplification — Why humans are wired to want convenience and a simple input-output model for nutrition — and how the industry exploits that. [26:00] What Science Actually Says — Studies on raisins vs. gels, mashed potato vs. energy packs, and banana vs. recovery drinks. The results will surprise you. [34:00] Building Yanaa — The goat cheese disaster, the prototype that made Chris's brother think he'd been handed vomit, and why following their gut (literally) led to something real. [41:30] Brand as Values, Not Just Marketing — Why Yanaa chose warmth over aggression, fun over performance metrics, and sustainability over short-term margins.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?
