Desde pequena, esteve imersa no universo do empreendedorismo, acompanhando de perto a trajetória da mãe, que há mais de 40 anos mantém uma loja de roupas no centro de Içara.Foi nesse ambiente que nasceu sua conexão com o comércio e, principalmente, com o empreendedorismo feminino.A marca Vanessa Colle Joias começou de forma simples, como um complemento dentro da loja da mãe. Mas com visão, consistência e autenticidade, Vanessa transformou essa iniciativa em um negócio próprio. Em 2017, inaugurou sua primeira loja no centro de Içara, dando início a uma nova fase.Com o tempo, a marca foi ganhando reconhecimento, especialmente pelas joias em Ouro 18k e pelas lives de vendas, onde Vanessa foi pioneira na região ao utilizar esse formato para comercializar peças de alto valor, aproximando-se do público de forma inovadora.Em 2023, consolidando sua expansão, inaugurou sua segunda loja no centro de Criciúma. A marca evoluiu, ampliando seu portfólio para além do Ouro 18k, incluindo Prata 925, pedras naturais, Pandora, além de relojoaria com marcas como Saint Germain e Lince, e óculos de sol Ray-Ban e Vogue.Hoje, mais do que vender joias, Vanessa Colle carrega um propósito claro: despertar o brilho que já existe em cada mulher. Sua missão é inspirar mulheres a se reconhecerem como sua maior joia, valorizando sua essência, autenticidade e autoestima através de cada peça.Aricélia é natural de Orleans/SC, nascida em 23 de outubro de 1958.

Durante esse período, desenvolveu um olhar sensível para as pessoas e suas realidades, mas também passou a sentir uma crescente frustração profissional, o que se tornaria o ponto de virada da sua vida.Foi a partir dessa inquietação que decidiu empreender e fundou a ACUO, empresa de confecção de pijamas da qual é sócia fundadora. Com coragem para sair da estabilidade e apostar em um novo caminho, transformou um recomeço em uma história de sucesso.Hoje, com 31 anos de mercado, a ACUO é uma marca consolidada, com atuação em todo o Brasil por meio de diferentes canais de venda, incluindo B2B, B2C e lojas próprias.Sua trajetória é marcada por coragem, reinvenção e visão de longo prazo, inspirando outras pessoas a também assumirem o controle da própria história e transformarem desafios em oportunidades.Não fique de fora dessa!‌#guarujátáon #papoempreendedor #rádio #grandesempreendedores #empreendedorismo

Earlier this week, we published a written feature focused on his Scarlet Witch run, but this episode expands far beyond that, covering everything from Deadweight with Bobby Lee to Valiant Beyond: X-O Manowar, DC x AEW, his chance to judge on Dragula Titans season 2, Tarzan Beyond, X-Men Infinity, and even a teased return to Midnighter! If you wanted the complete Orlando download, this is it.   Visit our Patreon page to see the various tiers you can sign up for today to get in on the ground floor of AIPT Patreon.

Dave: The Amazing Spider-Man #23 (Taurin Clarke Cover) Or Maybe Alex: X-Men #26 (Gurihiru Marvel Monster Variant) Interview: Steve Orlando Deadweight (GUNGNIR Publishing) (with Bobby Lee & Matthew Medney) Deadweight sounds completely unhinged in the best way, blending martial arts chaos, horror, and absurdist comedy. When you're co-writing something that springs so directly from Bobby Lee's comedic voice, how do you balance honoring that raw unpredictability while still building a story with emotional stakes and structure? Valiant Beyond: X-O Manowar (out Feb 18) In Valiant Beyond: X-O Manowar, Aric joins the PunX after millennia of isolation, and suddenly honor is tied to community rather than conquest. How has it been carving out your own corner of the Valiant universe? Good Bones Good Bones gathers your horror work into a single anthology, and many of the stories explore queer identity through transformation, secrecy, and bodily autonomy. When you write horror rooted in identity, are you consciously using the genre as metaphor, or does that symbolism emerge naturally through character? Dragula (with Todd McFarlane) You co-judged Dragula alongside Todd McFarlane, which feels like a collision of comics horror and performance art. Did that experience teach you anything about spectacle and theatricality, or inspire you when you're comics work? DC AEW DC and AEW both thrive on spectacle, but they also rely heavily on character-driven drama and long-term storytelling. When writing DC x AEW #1, how did you balance the over-the-top, live-event energy with making sure the character pairings felt emotionally and thematically right, rather than just fun visual mashups? Scarlet Witch Can you talk about or tease the status of Wanda and Vision's relationship as of now? Agatha Harkness is your main antagonist in Sorcerer Supreme, what makes her fun to write? Agatha is the Vishanti's chosen sorcerer supreme, I was curious if you're drawing from any personal life experience having someone be picked over you when writing this story arc? Your run on Scarlet Witch has been released via miniseries, are there advantages (and disadvantages) to this format? Wanda Maximoff has worn a lot of labels over the years—Avenger, sorceress, reality shaper, occasional cosmic wildcard. How do you personally view her place in that ecosystem? Additional General Questions Your bibliography moves fluidly between superhero epics, indie horror, licensed work, and now chaotic comedy with Deadweight. How do you recalibrate your voice between projects without losing what makes a story feel unmistakably yours?

ACOFAE welcomes to the podcast #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Rachel Van Dyken to discuss her latest release Fallen Gods! A story that is close to the author's heart, _Fallen Gods _is a twist on classic Norse mythology that finds Rey as the daughter of Odin and Odin has an agenda - Mjölnir is missing and only Rey can wield it. Where Mjölnir is hidden remains a mystery that Rey has one week to crack or else. Nothing can be easy for Rey though, as her mortal enemy Aric stands in the way of her and finding the hammer. Filled with banter and romance as well as female friendships and extremely fun college antics, Fallen Gods brings the mythology to the present day and ask the question: What if the gods were only sleeping?

Michigan Senate Minority Leader, and candidate for governor, Aric Nesbitt joins the show to break down why he and several Michigan lawmakers are formally requesting DOJ oversight of the 2026 elections. Nesbitt argues that repeated irregularities, transparency failures, and public distrust demand outside monitoring to restore confidence ahead of a high-stakes election year.

He'd leave one side blank and ask for a reply—but none ever came. Aric talks to Ira Glass about what it was like to finally ask his dad why. (7 minutes)Act One: Lennard Davis was always told to avoid his no-good Uncle Abie. After his father died, Abie claimed he was actually Lenny's biological father via artificial insemination. At first, the story seemed possible, then doubtful. It took Lenny more than 20 years to sort out whether it was true, and he finds out the answer—definitively—as tape is rolling. (31 minutes)Act Two: Paul Tough's father was a mild-mannered professor—until he suddenly left the family to pursue a lifelong quest: making contact with extraterrestrial life. For the first time, Paul joins him and asks the questions he's long kept to himself about his father's alien pursuits.
