Podcasts about Anu

Send us Fan MailMoney can be the one topic we avoid the most, even while it shapes nearly every choice we make. We wanted to change that, so we invited Anu Seth, financial coach and co-founder of Paid Forward, for an honest conversation on financial confidence, leadership, and the portfolio life many of us are already living.Anu shares how she became an “accidental investor” after starting out in technology, and why earning well is not the same as understanding money. We dig into compounding, investing basics, and the difference between being money-conscious and money-confident. Then we go deeper into the real obstacle most people face: the emotions around money. Scarcity mindset, shame around debt, fear of being cheated, and social comparison can quietly drive spending, saving, and even career decisions.We also talk about women and financial agency, and why confidence grows only through participation and ownership. Anu brings the idea behind Pay It Forward to life: simplify personal finance, remove jargon, and make money a dinner table conversation. Along the way, she shares stories of setting boundaries, choosing long-term security over short-term pressure, and why “Middle India” needs financial education far more than another fancy product pitch.The episode closes with practical steps you can try immediately: pause, write down what's bothering you, list what you're doing financially, and run a simple 90-day experiment by tracking every spend. If you want a calmer relationship with money and a clearer path through career transitions, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the conversation.Have you purchased the copy of Inspire Someone Today, yet? - Give it a go geni.us/istbookAvailable on all podcast platforms, including, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Spotify

Disrupt Yourself Before Someone Else Does: How Thomson Reuters CTO Anuradha Turned Fear, Bias, and Discomfort Into Career Fuel She grew up in a small town in India, first daughter in a middle-class family, educated in her mother tongue through 10th grade. She was culturally trained to listen more and speak less. Then she accepted a role as an assistant professor straight out of university, in front of 60 students, because she needed a job and couldn't say no to an opportunity. She showed up for her first class and trembled for the entire 60 minutes. She didn't quit. She went back. She sat in her colleagues' classes to watch how they taught. She asked hard questions. She sought feedback from the students whose faces told her everything. Eventually, students started telling her: "No one ever taught this subject the way you do." Anuradha is Head of Engineering and CTO of the Corporate Tax and Trade Technology Group at Thomson Reuters. She has since moved internationally alone, changed industries multiple times, and built a leadership philosophy around one core principle: disrupt yourself before someone else does it for you. In this episode, she breaks down how. You'll learn: She asked for a Senior Director role and was told not only no, but "even if you applied, they wouldn't hire you." What she said next, why she didn't confront him, and how she used that conversation to get clarity about whether the problem was her or the environment around her. The mental model she uses every time she gets a no: is this about me not having the skills, or is this about the climate in this organization not being ready for someone like me? Both are valid answers, but you have to know which one before you decide what to do next. Why she deliberately paced herself after that conversation, asked for names of other people to speak to, and processed it over days rather than trying to resolve it all in one go. Why running away from fear doesn't make fear disappear. It just means you'll face it later, under higher stakes, with fewer second chances. How she built confidence and humility simultaneously by changing industries repeatedly: retail, financial services, banking, payments, tax and trade. The more she learned, the more she understood how much more there was to learn, and why she sees that as a leadership asset, not a liability. What she means by "disrupt yourself before someone else does" and why it applies equally to personal growth, career management, and technology leadership at scale. Her model for leading through failure: look forward first, understand what went wrong second. And why leaders who impose their own stress on a team under pressure take everyone down with them. About Anuradha: Head of Engineering and CTO of the Corporate Tax and Trade Technology Group at Thomson Reuters, Anu is a recognized tech executive and speaker at women's leadership and technology conferences. She has built her career across multiple industries and continents.

Elon Musk has sparked fresh space-race chatter after revealing SpaceX is shifting its focus from Mars to the Moon, with ambitions to build a “self-growing” lunar city within the next decade. With multiple countries and private companies rolling out lunar missions, the push to develop Earth’s only natural satellite is heating up fast. In this bonus episode of The Briefing, astrophysicist Brad Tucker from ANU joins us to break down who the major players are, what a self-growing city actually means, and why inflatable moon hotels might not be as sci-fi as they sound.

event. Kate and Anu just wrapped a wild month on the road, and the message from both conferences was loud and clear: AI is no longer a bolt-on, it's the operating system!Fresh off Global Scrum Gathering Vancouver and Canvas 26 (Miro's user conference in San Francisco), Kate Megaw and Anu Smalley sit down with Ryan Smith to unpack two completely different conferences that delivered the exact same wake-up call.Inside: the highs, the lows, the pages of notes, and the calm that came after the dust settled. From the 80/20 flip to why AI-native beats AI-bolted-on, to the pivot Kate and Anu are making in their own business, this is a real, honest field report from two events and two very different rooms.If you're feeling the overwhelm too, you're not alone. Hit play. Take a breath. Let's find the calm together.

Hrvoje Tkalčić is Head of Geophysics at ANU, and a world leading authority on earthquakes, who joined Philip Clark and listeners to Nightlife with a fascinating look at the tectonic forces deep within our earth's interior. 

As You Wish Talk Radio with James Gilliland Anunnaki Tablets, A Lost History, Atlantis Lemuria and Mu, Real Disclosure Ancient Tablets, Lost Civilizations, and the Choice Between Collapse and Ascension Anunnaki Tablets and a Different Earth History In this episode of As You Wish Talk Radio, host James Gilliland discusses newly surfaced ancient tablets that he says challenge conventional accounts of Earth's history. He presents the Anunnaki as refugees who came to Earth after wars connected to Lyra, establishing colonies and using advanced knowledge to build cities, temples, canals, and underground facilities. He describes the Igigi workers, their rebellion, and the creation or genetic upgrading of early humans known as the Lulu to take over labor duties. Gilliland frames this history as more complex than mainstream accounts, emphasizing that different beings, colonies, and off-world influences contributed to humanity's development. Cycles of Cataclysm and Ancient Civilizations Gilliland then connects the tablets to recurring cycles of flood, fire, darkness, drought, plague, abundance, and collapse. He describes an Anu cycle of roughly 26,000 years and says past civilizations experienced great floods, fire from the sky, earthquakes, poisoned land, and abandoned cities. The episode also moves into Atlantis, Lemuria, Mu, India, China, vitrified stone, submerged ruins, frozen civilizations under ice, pole shifts, rising and sinking continents, and catastrophic Earth changes. His central point is that human history is far older and more advanced than commonly accepted timelines allow. Pleiadians, Universal Law, and Humanity's Choice A major theme of the episode is the choice between repeating past destructive patterns or aligning with universal law. Gilliland contrasts Atlantean misuse of technology, domination, surveillance, and warfare with Lemurian and Mu traditions of spiritual harmony and living according to the Law of One. He says Pleiadian, Andromedan, Arcturian, Sirian, Orion, and other benevolent councils are involved in Earth's future, but operate under non-interference unless invited. He argues that humanity must choose between social, economic, and environmental collapse or an upward spiral of peace, brotherhood, individual freedom, prosperity, and spiritual evolution. Yeshua Scrolls, Inner Divinity, and the Feminine The episode shifts into what Gilliland calls the Yeshua scrolls, which he says are controversial writings connected to Templar preservation and attributed to Yeshua ben Joseph. He highlights teachings that place the power of God within each person rather than in external religious authority. Gilliland discusses the Ethiopian Bible, the Council of Nicaea, Asherah, Eve, Arcturus, Mary, and the idea of a joint male-female spiritual teaching. He interprets these materials as supporting inner God connection, the equality of women, and the rejection of fear-based religious control. Warnings About Deception, UFO Culture, and False Narratives Gilliland also warns listeners about deception in spiritual, religious, UFO, and disclosure communities. He criticizes gossip, jealousy, character assassination, fame-seeking, manipulation, and what he describes as false teachings or controlled opposition. He says people should not attack others over beliefs and should focus on their own healing, enlightenment, and personal relationship with Creator. He also warns against a fake alien invasion narrative, saying benevolent councils would not allow it, and advises listeners to approach contact experiences with prayer, protection, sacred space, discernment, and the intention to connect only with benevolent off-world beings. Personal Contact, Planetary Ascension, and Returning to Nature The final portion emphasizes making one's own personal connection with Creator, discovering one's unique purpose, and rising with the planetary ascension process. Gilliland says Earth is going through intense changes involving the sun, volcanoes, earthquakes, continents, and timelines, and that humanity no longer has the luxury of remaining caught in conflict, deception, or spiritual immaturity. He urges listeners to move beyond old sacrificial-god programming, reconnect with nature, and focus on innocence, children, animals, gardens, and trees. The episode ends with descriptions of filmed lights, ships, “power ups,” and activity around the ranch, reinforcing Gilliland's larger message that off-world contact and Earth changes are already underway.

What changes when you see London from the water?In this episode of Talk of the Thames, Chloe Russell speaks with author and paddleboarder Anu Aladin (@mysupstories) about her new book Paddle London - a guide to 40 paddle routes across London's rivers, canals, docks and reservoirs.After more than a decade of paddling in the capital, Anu describes the Thames as a place of local adventure, hidden nature and moving meditation. From early morning paddles under Hammersmith Bridge to fish surveys at Syon Park's tidal meadow, this conversation explores what stand-up paddleboarding reveals about London's waterways - and why the Thames deserves to be better protected, celebrated and understood.Together, Chloe and Anu discuss Blue Mind, river wildlife, access to the water, responsible paddling, tides, soundscapes, safety, sewage, community, and the joy of discovering wilderness closer than you think.__________________Talk of the Thames has been brought to you by the Thames Estuary Partnership https://www.thamesestuarypartnership.org/Keep up to date with TEP on all platforms!Facebook: @thamesestuarypartnershipInstagram: @thamesestuarypartnershipProduced & Presented by Chloe Russell

Anu Villarosa began her career as a lawyer in London, moved to Australia on a whim during the 2008 financial crash, and somehow ended up as Chief People Officer at a leading law firm - via recruitment, mindset coaching, competitive hockey, and a 50% pay cut she took to back herself into HR. The journey makes no sense on paper. In practice, it's the perfect preparation. In this conversation, Anu talks about why feedback is a gift most organisations don't know how to give, why self-awareness is the capability that will separate effective executives by 2040, and what it actually means to be strategically vulnerable in a profession that tends to reward certainty. Anu Villarosa is Chief People Officer at a leading Australian law firm, an accredited coach grounded in neuroscience and psychometric profiling, and a former competitive hockey player who applies the principles of high-performance sport to executive leadership every day.   ----------------------- Craving inspiration?

Nightlife News Breakdown with Philip Clark, joined by Mark Kenny, The Canberra Times political analyst and a professor at the ANU's Australian Studies Institute.

The Buddha taught a path of awakened living, but how does that manifest in today's world of constant connectivity and widespread suffering? How do we keep our hearts open without being defined or hardened by the pain that surrounds us, whether personal, collective, or historical? How do we navigate the paradox of holding both pain and joy, without mistaking suffering for punishment or personal failure? Can we infuse our compassion with wisdom and perspective to find the agency to take meaningful action in our communities? In her new series, Engaged Compassion, Sharon delves into these questions and more, engaging in candid conversations with a diverse group of teachers, activists, and changemakers. For the third episode in the series, Sharon speaks with Anu Gupta, marking his fourth appearance on the Metta Hour.

In this episode of PGAP, host Michael Bayliss welcomes special guest Peter Tait, convenor of the Canberra Alliance for Participatory Democracy. Peter discusses the critical importance of citizen participation in the democratic process and how citizen assemblies have great potential in building momentum on issues such as planned Degrowth and population policy. Peter Tait has been a General Practitioner for over 40 years, 30 of them in Aboriginal health in Central Australia. He was 2007 RACGP General Practitioner of the Year and 2017 Public Health Association Australia Sidney Sax medalist. He teaches Population Health at ANU. You can find out more about the Canberra Alliance for Participatory Democracy HERE. Peter represented CAPaD at the New Economy Network Australia (NENA) conference in 2025. Did you like this episode and want to explore more PGAP episodes? We recommend the premiere episode for this season with Marcus Champ, representing Public Money, Public Good, who also presented at the NENA conference. Or listen to the NENA conference coordinator, Tiyana Jovanovic, HERE. For a slightly older episode, our interview with Mark Diesendorf explored issues referred to in this episode such as state capture of government policy. For further reading, you may be interested in Michael's blog article for Population Media Centre, which argues why large and rapidly growing populations can dilute democracy. This is explored further in my article on The Overpopulation Project: “The Planet Cannot Hold the Weight of 8.2 billion Narratives.” During the interview, Peter explains the concept of Sociocracy and its capacity to achieve consensus even with large and disperse populations. In the episode introduction, Michael reflects on his recent presentation on Degrowth at Perth's Curtin University. Aiming to engage students emotionally with Degrowth as a moral imperative, the feedback was hugely encouraging, as the below photo hopefully attests. Michael at back centre PGAP will be on a break over the next couple of months. In the meantime, Michael is offering a free Sustainable Population Mug, for every review of PGAP on Apple Podcast. All you need to do – after writing the review – is contact PGAP on our CONTACT FORM and Michael will respond on his return. In the down time, we also encourage you to engage at least one person on the issue of Degrowth, please write to us and let us know how your conversation went.

Nova epizoda podkasta pod zaštitom Međunarodnog PEN centra, "Dobar loš zao", je tu! U prvom delu emisije Nenad Kulačin i Marko Vidojković slavili su do trećeg priloga pobedu Patra Mađara i Tise na parlamentarnim izborima u Mađarskoj, a još više su slavili Orbanov poraz, kao i implikacije koje to ima na skori pad Sisolinijevog režima. Pored toga, ohrabrili su EU da Srbiji uvede sve moguće sankcije i upitali se koju gondolu vozi Vladan Petrov u Venecijanskoj komisiji. Gošća je psihološkinja Ana Mirković, kojoj je ovo prvi put u DLZ. Ona je naširoko i nadahnuto govorila o svim pojedinačnim i kolektivnim dijanozama predstavnika vlasti, ali i o poremećajima među onima koji su protiv režima, uz preporuke za mentalni oporavak srpskim nezavisnim novinarima, ali i celokupnom narodu. Uz preko potrebnu i za Anu tako prepoznatljivu, poplavu optimizma savršeno su se uklopila pitanja sa Patreona. U Magarećem kutku prepašće vas uskršnji satanizam.

"A blockade is a tool of war as old as the sea itself, but in 2026, the question isn't just about who has the biggest ships—it's about who still respects the law." Donald Rothwell, Professor of International Law at the ANU, joins the show to dissect the US-led blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. With the blockade reaching its 24-hour mark, the world is watching to see if this ancient tactic of naval warfare can still be enforced in a modern, "rogue" geopolitical climate.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Elohim, Anunnaki, and You ….. The Family Tree Nobody DrewToday We Uncover Your Cosmic LineageYou were created in the image - intentionally so. This may challenge what you've been taught, but consider it an expansion of your understanding and how information is hidden…..for a reason of control.The familiar creation story is just the first chapter. It's not a lie - it's simply incomplete.The CRITICAL UNDERSTANDING of the original Hebrew use of the reference to “Elohim” - is PLURAL……..Meaning “the gods,” not a singular deity. It says, “Let us make man in our image” - suggesting a collective of divine creators.POWER OVER and POWER UNDER SHADOW STRUCTURES Theologians have glossed over these plural references, leaving you with an incomplete picture.But there is more to the story.What if your ancestors were not alone, but rather advanced galactic divine race called - the Anunnaki?This alternate origin tale may sound radical. Evidence leads to the inescapable conclusion that all of humanity, are built differently and it's time to reveal the true nature of your cosmic lineage. Thousands are remembering and discovering this greater ancestral narrative based on evidential artifacts, history's hidden scriptures and intuitives. Once you walk through it, you cannot unsee what's on the other side.What's on the other side is you — your body, your organs, your breath, your blood — and the staggering truth that you were not made as an afterthought. You were made as a masterpiece. A living library and an internal holy temple with more rooms than you've ever been allowed to explore.Adam Isn't a Name. It's a Blueprint.We've been lead to believe that Adam is simply the name of the first man. A guy in a garden. Simple origin story?Wrong. Adam is not just a name — it's a code.In Hebrew, Adam breaks down like this:* Aleph — the spirit, the breath, the power, the source* Dam — the bloodPut them together: Adam means the blood of God. The breath of the divine made manifest in biological form.But blood in this context isn't just the red stuff pumping through your veins.Blood is records.Blood is information. Blood is genetic memory — the recordings, the essence, the full archive of whatever that plural divine family, the Elohim, carried within themselves.Adam — you, your ancestors, your lineage — is a living library encoded with the complete genetic and spiritual blueprint of an entire divine family.And here's the part that should shake you: the name Adam was given to both the male and the female.The original human — before the distinction of gender — was called Adam. Because Adam wasn't describing a person. It was describing a design.Now let's go deeper into that design. Because across multiple ancient civilizations — the Sumerians, the Egyptians, the Hindus — they're all telling the same story with different words.The Sumerians called that divine family the Anunnaki. Anunnaki simply means: the family of Anu and Ki * Early civilizations possibly lived in deeper alignment with universal laws.* Father god and mother god and all their descendants.* Human ability today could be a fraction of what once existed.* Collapse came when power outpaced wisdom.* History might be repeating patterns of rise and fall.* Signs point to a global reawakening of awareness.* Next evolution isn't external—it's internal.It's the Sumerian equivalent of Elohim. The Egyptians called them Neru. Different language. Same family.And within that family, there's a figure named Enki — the firstborn of Anu. The scientist. The craftsman. The one described across Sumerian texts as the architect of the human form.In the Sumerian account — which predates the Hebrew Genesis by thousands of years — Enki is commissioned to create a being capable of doing everything the divine family could do. His brother wants a worker. A servant. Something powerful but controlled.But Enki? Enki has a different idea entirely.Enki decides to make family.So instead of building a limited creature, he takes the blood — the genetic records, the spiritual codes — of the entire Anunnaki family and pours it all into the Adamic design. Every organ. Every system. Every breath. Encoded with the full frequency of the divine collective.You are not a servant species. You were designed as a full-spectrum being.Your Body Is a Temple — And the Temple Has AltarsNow here's where ancient wisdom and your physical body collide in a way that should permanently change how you look in the mirror.The body is a temple. Most people have heard that phrase. Most people treat it like a wellness slogan — eat clean, don't drink too much. But that's not what it means. Not even close.A temple is not just a building. A temple is a structure built to make contact. Within every temple, there are altars. And an altar is not a decoration — an altar is a point of contact between two realms.Think about it this way. Your Wi-Fi router is an altar.It takes signal from somewhere beyond your walls and funnels it directly into your house, making something invisible suddenly accessible. Your kitchen sink is an altar. It connects you to a water source miles away and gives you direct access in your own home.Now apply that to your body.Every organ system within you is an altar — a point of contact — connected to a specific frequency, a specific divine energy, a specific member of that Elohim family.The Sumerians were explicit about this. Enlil, the god of wind and air — that's why you have lungs. Your respiratory system is an altar built to engage the frequency of air, of breath, of that specific divine energy.This is why the scripture says “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.” It's not poetry. It's a technical statement about how the system works.Ancient Chinese medicine — whether in Taoism or Tibetan Buddhism — mapped this even further. They didn't just work with chakras as abstract energy centers. They assigned specific deities to specific organs. The kidneys — a seat of fire and power. The liver — engaged with a particular spirit. The lungs — another point of divine contact.When every altar within the temple is functioning, when every organ system is engaged with the energy it was designed to contact, the ancient texts describe this as a state of immortality. Complete, full-body synergy — every part of you operating at its highest possible frequency.And here's the staggering implication: Because Enki encoded the full Anunnaki blueprint into the Adamic design, there is no frequency in creation that you are not built to access.You were built as the all-in-one. Ignorance Is the Weapon Used Against YouPause here. Read this slowly.“My people perish for lack of knowledge.”And the disease isn't weakness. It isn't unworthiness. It isn't spiritual inadequacy.The disease is not knowing what you are.You have access to everything. You are genetically related — not metaphorically, literally — to every kingdom of creation. The mineral kingdom. The plant kingdom. The animal kingdom. Every organism, every creature, every structure of life carries a thread of the same Adamic code. This is why humans talk to animals instinctively. This is why people like George Washington Carver could commune with plants and receive knowledge from them. This is why there's a reason that certain non-human intelligences are intensely interested in the human body — because the human body is the most sophisticated, most comprehensive biological library ever assembled.And the vast majority of human beings walk around every single day not knowing any of this.Ignorance deployed as a weapon is one of the oldest strategies in the book.But here's the other side of this — and this is the part that should ignite something in you:The system still works whether you know about it or not. Yeshua walked through crowds of ordinary people and said, “Don't you know that ye are gods?” That word — gods — is Elohim. Watch the Lion King again with new eyes. Simba's journey isn't about transformation. It's about recognition. “Remember who you are.”That's the whole message. That's always been the whole message.The question is not whether you have access. You do. The question is whether you'll stop living like you don't.Start there. Start with the breath. Start with asking what your body actually is before you spend another moment trying to fix, suppress, or transcend it.What you love is within you. Everything you've been searching for outside yourself — the connection, the power, the belonging — it's been coded into your structure since the beginning.It's time to remember.To stop giving away your power. Your soul was determined to experience the collapse of the old and rebirth of an evolution of a society that is the literal CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE. THAT'S A WRAP on your true lineage, beloved. What Next? I believe we each have an innate ability to connect with Spirit—we are Spirit, experiencing life through a human lens.To support you on this journey, I've created The Light Between Ritual Experience, plus a bonus Self-Hypnosis Empowerment Journey.

A new report shows a major rise in the number of young Australians worried about the country's preparedness in the face of crisis. Tim Wilford, who directed the research for ANU's National Security College, spoke with SBS News about what the results reveal about the concerns of voters.

John's monologue begins with how President Trump announced a halt to upcoming air raids on Iranian targets, how Iran spent most of the day today denying that such talks have taken place, and how an individual made a billion dollar plus series of trades on market futures and oil prices – a clear as day signal of insider trading within the administration. Next Corey Brettschneider, a professor with a PhD in Politics from Princeton and a Law degree from Stanford joins John. For years, Corey's analysis of the Trump Administration for Politico, the New York Times, CNN, MSNBC and TIME have been indispensable. John then interviews Anu Joshi the National Campaign Director for Immigration in the National Political Advocacy Department. Anu previously served as the Vice President of Policy at the New York Immigration Coalition, and worked on successful campaigns to ensure access to drivers licenses for undocumented immigrants in New York and pass municipal voting rights for noncitizens in New York City.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Military strategist Jennifer Parker on the story behind the biggest disruption to oil supplies in world history, happening now in the Strait of Hormuz.The narrow waterway in the Persian Gulf has a particular geographical importance to the world, as the land on one side belongs to Iran, and the country has a history of using it to pressure its enemies in times of conflict.A quarter of all oil production passes through it so disrupting that flow can have an enormous impact on the global economy.Right now, in response to heavy bombardment from the U.S and Israel, Iran has effectively shut down this waterway by attacking commercial vessels trying to get through. Jennifer Parker served for more than 20 years as an officer with the Royal Australian Navy and has travelled through the Strait of Hormuz during her multiple deployments to the Persian Gulf.She is currently an associate at the ANU's National Security College and a fellow at the Lowy Institute. This episode of Conversations was produced by Jen Leake, the Executive Produce is Nicola Harrison.It explores Iran, The Strait of Hormuz, the Persian Gulf, conflict, war, global oil production, the US, Israel, war, attacks, commercial shipping, Royal Australian Navy, China, US submarines, international law, Donald Trump, the Persian Gulf States, global economy, fuel prices, drones, ballistic missiles, nuclear weapons, Russia, Venezuela.

Eating for your microbiome doesn't have to be complicated — but it does require rethinking how we approach food, carbohydrates, and flavor. In this episode of The Mind–Gut Conversation, Dr. Mayer is joined by Anu Simh, a board-certified functional health coach, microbiome educator, and author of Flourish from Within: New Gut for Lifelong Health. Anu's work bridges the gap between microbiome science and real-world application, offering a framework for eating that supports microbial diversity without rigid meal plans or overwhelming recipes.They explore why diversity matters more than any single superfood, how to distinguish beneficial complex carbohydrates from refined ones, and why traditional cuisines — like Anu's South Indian roots — have been quietly aligned with microbiome science all along. The conversation also covers the role of herbs and spices as important sources of polyphenols, how to retrain your palate to accept bitter flavors, and how to build simple, repeatable eating patterns that actually stick in people's lives. This episode offers a grounded, science-based look at what it means to feed your microbiome, and how to translate research into sustainable habits that support gut health and long-term well-being.Topics discussed include:• Why microbial diversity is more important than any single superfood• How traditional cuisines align with microbiome science• The difference between refined and complex carbohydrates• Herbs and spices as polyphenol-rich additions to everyday meals• Retraining your palate to accept bitter and diverse flavors• Building simple, repeatable eating patterns for gut healthThis is a practical, science-driven discussion for anyone interested in the gut microbiome, plant-forward eating, and the brain–gut connection.Chapters:0:00 - Introduction2:36 - Anu's Origin Story and Journey to Microbiome Science8:46 - Has Plant-Forward Eating Reached the General Public?25:08 - The Flourish Diet34:54 - Herbs, Spices, and Retraining Your Plate45:07 - Closing Remarks and Practical Recipes

Neste episódio da Taverna do Lugar Nenhum, mergulhamos em uma das narrativas mais violentas e simbolicamente densas da Antiguidade: a teogonia hurrito-hitita.Aqui, o universo não nasce da harmonia, mas do conflito. Alalu, Anu e Kumarbi protagonizam uma sucessão divina marcada por golpes de Estado celestes, inversões de hierarquia e disputas pela soberania. O gesto decisivo, a castração de Anu por Kumarbi, inaugura um ciclo em que poder, fertilidade e destronamento caminham juntos.Ao abocanhar os órgãos genitais do rival, Kumarbi engravida e dá origem a novos deuses, entre eles Teshub, o deus da tempestade e futuro soberano do panteão. A ordem nasce da violência, mas nunca é definitiva. Cada reinado carrega a semente de sua própria queda.O episódio também explora a figura de Ulikummi, o gigante de pedra criado para desafiar o céu, suas semelhanças com outras tradições míticas e a estrutura simbólica profunda que sustenta essa cosmologia.Uma reflexão sobre poder, sucessão, masculinidade, fertilidade e o eterno retorno do conflito no plano divino.

Why do most change initiatives fail?  It's rarely because the idea was bad, it's because the change was done to people instead of with them. In this episode, Kate, Anu and Ryan dive into the psychology of organizational transformation.  They explore why leaders fall into the trap of "decisive" silos, the high cost of skipping alignment for the sake of speed, and why the "wisdom of the crowd" is a leader's greatest untapped asset. Whether you're navigating the AI revolution or shifting market economies, learn why you don't need to know the way to go the way, you just need to listen to the people who do.

How do we bridge the communication gap between schools and families in an increasingly fragmented digital world? In this episode of Trending in Education, Mike Palmer is joined by Anu Vaid, the founder of ParentSquare, to explore the evolution of school-home partnerships over the last 15 years. Anu shares her journey as a computer engineer and immigrant parent who was overwhelmed by the disjointed tools of the K-12 system, from papers stuffed in backpacks to disparate robocalls and long emails . Today, ParentSquare serves over 22 million student families, providing a unified platform where everyone from the principal and teachers to the nurse and the librarian can speak with one voice . We dive into how technology can foster authentic human connection rather than just "checking a box," moving toward a positive school climate that supports every student. Key Takeaways:

In this episode, Lily Smith and Randy Silver host Anu Jagga‑Narang, a product evangelist at AT&T, to explore premortems — a powerful technique for anticipating product failure before launch. Anu explains how premortems use prospective hindsight to uncover risks early, surface assumptions teams are reluctant to voice, and improve decision quality. The conversation covers practical steps for running premortems, risk classification using tigers, paper tigers and elephants, common pitfalls, and when to revisit the exercise as products evolve. They also examine how emerging AI capabilities influence product risk management — increasing the need for thoughtful planning rather than replacing human insight. This discussion offers product leaders a framework to strengthen strategic thinking, foster psychological safety and equip teams to build with confidence and clarity.Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Premortems01:39 Guest Introduction — Anu Jagga‑Narang02:14 Career Journey into Product05:03 What Is a Premortem?07:04 Framing Failure and Success in Premortems11:02 How to Conduct a Premortem15:04 Voting and Risk Classification17:00 Tigers, Paper Tigers, and Elephants20:22 Assigning Ownership and Actions21:28 When to Run a Premortem23:40 Who Should Participate and Duration25:14 Examples and Surprising Insights28:43 Common Mistakes and Anti‑patterns31:51 AI's Impact on Premortems34:13 Closing Remarks and CreditsOur HostsLily Smith enjoys working as a consultant product manager with early-stage and growing startups and as a mentor to other product managers.

#194 - Feed Your Gut, Heal Your Body: The Microbiome Fix You've Never Tried   Feed Your Gut, Heal Your Life: How to Rebuild Your Microbiome (and Your Energy) with Anu Simh What if your gut wasn't just about digestion — but the foundation of your immune system, metabolism, hormones, mood, and energy? In this episode, Lisa sits down with Anu Simh, board-certified functional health coach, microbiome specialist, and author of Flourish From Within: Feed Your Gut for Lifelong Health. She's also the founder of The Nine Arms of Wellness, where she helps women lose weight, balance inflammation, and rebuild health through a microbiome-first approach. Anu's story starts with what she calls the “American Dream diet” — late nights, bottomless brunches, and too much stress — and how that led to autoimmune issues, chronic bloating, and inflammation. What she discovered (years before gut health was trendy) completely changed her life — and her clients'. You'll learn:

“We're not alone...that's kind of our mission and why we do the work that we do.”Anu Gorakanti (MD) and Laura Holford (RN) co-founded Introspective Spaces, a collective creating contemplative community spaces for healthcare workers to reconnect with themselves and reimagine a new way forward in healthcare. Now approaching their five-year anniversary, they share how they're building “small communities of care” across the country—one relationship at a time.Introspective Spaces on SubstackListen to a prior podcast with Anu and Laura here!Key Themes:* The Power of Slow Work: “Change moves at the speed of trust” (Stephen Covey, via adrienne maree brown's Emergent Strategy). Building authentic community takes time, and that's exactly what healthcare needs.* From Isolation to Connection: Both founders started Introspective Spaces after feeling alone in their moral distress, believing they were the only ones struggling. Their mission: help healthcare workers realize they're not alone.* The Imagination Battle: As adrienne maree brown writes, we're living in someone else's imagination. Healthcare's current design is intentional—but healthcare workers can activate their own imagination to create something different.* Humanizing One Another: “What if humanizing healthcare starts with humanizing one another?” Breaking down silos between physicians, nurses, and other healthcare workers can shift the entire culture of care.Introspective Spaces Programs:* Artist's Way cohorts (including a new healthcare parents group) Next cohort begins March 9th!!

It's 2026... welcome to a new year of Tourpreneur weekly travel business podcasts!And we're starting the year off in a slightly different vein.This episode is a must-listen to help you set a new and hopefully inspirational, deeper tone for your year ahead as a business owner or guide.Our opening guest is the inimitable Dr. Anu Taranath, a professor, author, and facilitator. She's truly one of a kind. She gave the opening keynote at last year's Tourpreneur conference, and blew everyone away.So Tourpreneur's Mitch Bach was excited to sit down with Anu to challenge Tourpreneurs to think new thoughts about what they're doing as business owners. Yes, our job is to bring joy and entertainment and storytelling to our guests. Yes, our job as business owners is to show up for the daily grind of practical, nuts and bolts business. That's the spine of many of our lives out there.This episode will ask you to go deeper.If you rest on only the level of entertainment, and 'customer service' and professionalism, you're missing an opportunity for greater meaning, both in your business and your guests' lives.Anu asks you to think of your role as creating not only staged performances, but also spaces and containers to "rehumanize humans" and "normalize the normal"—that is, the kinds of human questions about culture and difference that are normal reactions to a travel experience that stretches people.It's an invitation to take off the armor — yours and your guests, and create something more meaningful together, something deeply human.As always, more show notes and links on tourpreneur.com.

Happy New Year!Today, we're speaking with Dr. Anu Taranath, a speaker, facilitator, and faculty member at the University of Washington in Seattle, where she teaches about global literature, race, and equity, and directs study abroad programs on human rights.Anu is the author of Beyond Guilt Trips: Mindful Travel in an Unequal World, a book that puts our movement across the world in a larger context of systems of power. She also writes a column for AFAR Magazine.We're closing the year with a conversation that's full of lightness, joy, and delight.
