Before dating apps became the default way to meet your next fling, or your forever, Whitney Wolfe Herd was rewriting the rules of love and tech. From her early days helping launch Tinder, to the explosive fallout that led her to create Bumble, Whitney's story is one of ambition, lawsuits, billion-dollar valuations, and the rise (and fall?) of the “girlboss” era. In this episode, we unpack how she built a dating empire by asking women to make the first move, how she navigated Silicon Valley's boys' club, and what her journey says about feminism, business, and the culture of swiping right.

Stridsflyg som invaderat Natos luftrum och drönare som slagit ut flygtrafiken i både Danmark och Norge, det är händelser som skapat stor oro den senaste tiden. Nato markerade och tvingade bort planen ovanför Estland och sedan har diskussioner förts - hur ska militäralliansen agera när Ryssland provocerar gång på gång? I veckan så har också oidentifierade drönare flugit över flygplatserna i Oslo och Köpenhamn - drönare som enligt dansk polis kommer från en kapabel aktör. Samtidigt har Donald Trump gjort uttalanden kring planen och kriget i Ukraina. Kommer Ryssland bara öka sina provokationer mot Nato? Kan militäralliansen hålla huvudet kallt och vad vill Donald Trump med sina uttalanden? Gäst: Niclas Vent, försvars och säkerhetsreporter på Aftonbladet. Programledare och producent: Jenny Ågren.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has dominated headlines over the past few days with a whirlwind of activity that spans music, business, and personal life. The big news is his official announcement as Coachella's headliner for the 2026 festival, marking his first major live concerts in the US since 2022. According to NBC Palm Springs, he'll take the stage on April 11 and 18 alongside SZA and others, with Billboard and Page Six both reporting his record-breaking $10 million compensation, which he reportedly landed singlehandedly by negotiating directly with Goldenvoice, not through an agent. Rumors suggest this deal was driven and encouraged by his wife Hailey Bieber, who, according to US Weekly and Page Six, was a major reason he decided to accept — insiders described her as both the “driving force” and “incredibly supportive,” reminding him how much touring means to his fans and ushering in what some have called a new era where Justin calls all the shots.This Coachella momentum comes on the heels of new musical output. Bieber recently dropped a black-and-white video teaser for his SWAG II track “Speed Demon,” filmed on the actual Coachella grounds. He shared shots online of himself and Hailey strolling hand-in-hand across the field with their young son, Jack Blues Bieber, further fueling buzz for his festival appearance, as seen on his official Instagram and covered by ABC Audio. Musically, his album ‘Swag' re-entered the Billboard top 10 this week, driven by a newly expanded deluxe edition, as KUNR reports, underscoring the album's staying power after debuting two months ago.On the business front, Bieber's launch of a limited edition cannabis line called ‘Peaches,' in partnership with Palms, made the rounds on social media and in Vogue and BBC News. The singer revealed his goal is to make cannabis more approachable and to destigmatize its use, with a portion of proceeds benefitting criminal justice reform charities like the Last Prisoner Project and Veterans Walk and Talk.Financially, Bieber resolved a major chapter by reaching a $31.5 million settlement with former manager Scooter Braun. PEOPLE and TMZ confirm this ends a dispute over money Bieber owed Braun and HYBE, largely related to advances for the canceled Justice Tour and unpaid commissions. These revelations surfaced alongside the release of a new documentary that links Bieber's earlier catalog sale to Hipgnosis, in December 2022, to financial strain. Although speculation persists regarding the stress Bieber's facing, Braun told The Diary of a CEO podcast that Justin's decision to strike out on his own is respected and, after 15 highly successful years, the old team wishes him well.In short, every major headline is signaling a comeback—Justin Bieber is seizing control of his career, making bold moves in music and business, and returning to the spotlight with support from his family and fans.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.In recent days, Justin Bieber has made headlines for a string of developments that signal his growing dominance as both a musical and business force. The biggest news is his $10 million personal deal to headline Coachella in April 2026, negotiated directly with Goldenvoice and bypassing an agent—a rare move for an artist of his stature, as reported by Rolling Stone and Netflix Junkie. Bieber will receive $5 million for each weekend, making him one of the top-paid Coachella headliners ever, and representing "a groundbreaking move for a headliner" according to insiders. His wife, Hailey Bieber, posted her support on Instagram Story with the exuberant tag “BIEBERCHELLA!!!!!!!!! :)” following the announcement, adding a personal touch to the milestone.On the music front, Bieber's seventh studio album “Swag”—released just two months ago—stormed back into the Billboard Top 10 after dropping an expanded deluxe edition, “Swag II.” The expanded album ballooned to 44 songs, over two hours of new Bieber music, riding streaming era trends, and “thanks to fans streaming all those new songs, the album leaps from No. 17 to No. 4” according to NPR. “DAISIES,” the lead single, remains in the top ten, and the new song “SPEED DEMON” debuted on this week's Hot 100 singles chart. However, reviews are mixed: The Observer called “Swag II” “underwhelming” and criticized its new sound, but did point out “SPEED DEMON” and “EYE CANDY”—a tribute to Hailey—as standout tracks. Rolling Stone described the album as “safe,” raising questions about Bieber's artistic ambitions versus commercial pressure.On the business side, Bieber's net worth has doubled in the past few years to $200 million, fueled by a combination of record sales, touring, a previous $200 million catalog sale to Hipgnosis, and brand deals. He personally severed ties with Drew House, urging fans not to associate him with the fashion brand. Meanwhile, Hailey's skincare brand Rhode was acquired by e.l.f. Beauty for $1 billion, and Bieber continues to support Rhode through his social media platforms. In a new entrepreneurial move, Bieber partnered with Palms to launch a limited-edition cannabis line called Peaches, with some proceeds supporting criminal justice reform and charity, as reported in Vogue and BBC News.On the more casual and social side, Bieber stunned bartenders in Cambridge, Ontario, with a surprise pub visit for karaoke, followed by a coffee run with Hailey at Monogram Coffee Roasters. Local staff shared their excitement and characterized the couple as “laid-back,” and viral fan snaps spread across Instagram and TikTok, contributing to a wave of organic social media mentions.These events combined—Coachella's headline, a surge in chart success, album criticism, business shakeups, charity moves, and viral social moments—mark an era of renewed visibility and control for Bieber. Biographically, his direct Coachella deal and personal brand moves mark the most significant shifts, suggesting he's entering a new phase defined by autonomy, ambition, and a willingness to take risks both musically and entrepreneurially. Speculation about further surprise collaborations and more personal projects is circulating, but as of now official announcements remain pending.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

When German hikers Erika and Helmut Simon stumbled upon a dead body in the Oertzel Alps on 19th September, 1991, they believed it to be a recently fallen mountaineer, whose cadaver had been preserved in the ice. In fact, the specimen turned out to be 5,300 years old - older than Stonehenge and the Pyramids. The man, nicknamed ‘Ötzi' by the press, had been struck down in mid-stride, and was discovered surrounded by his possessions, which included a copper axe. His remains are now on permanent display in Italy. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly probe into the various theories about how ‘the Iceman' died; reveal what the post-mortem told us were the contents of his last meal; and consider the ‘Curse of the Frozen Mummy'...

Det har redan börjat surras om Eurovision song contest i Wien nästa år. För efter årets upplaga, som vanns av Österrike, har många röster höjts om Israels medverkan. Med anledning av det som händer i Gaza, så menar många att Israel bör stoppas från att delta. Men enligt de regler som finns så är det inget som rent regelmässigt stoppar Israel från att tävla i Eurovision. Flera länder i Europa, inklusive Spanien, har meddelat att de kommer bojkotta tävlingen om Israel får delta. Vad händer om flera länder hoppar av tävlingen? Hur ställer sig SVT till frågan och blir det ens ett Eurovision 2026? Gäst: Tobbe Ek, nöjesreporter på Aftonbladet. Porgramledare och producent: Jenny Ågren. Klipp från: WION, BBC News.

Det som händer i Gaza är ett folkmord. Det säger nu en oberoende grupp inom FN. I deras nya rapport skriver de att israeliska myndigheter och dess säkerhetsstyrkor har begått flera brott inom ramen för det som klassas som folkmord. Israel själva nekar till anklagelserna och anser att FN-gruppen borde upplösas. Samtidigt så har Israel i veckan gått in med en markinvasion i Gaza stad, med stöd från USA. Den amerikanske utrikesministern Marco Rubio tror att den nya invasionen kan leda till vapenvila inom några veckor. Hur kan FN-gruppens rapport påverka det som sker i Gaza? Vad innebär den nya markinvasionen och kan den leda till en ny vapenvila? Gäst: Nivette Dawod, utrikesreporter på Aftonbladet. Programledare och producent: Jenny Ågren. Klipp från: BBC News, CNB News. Avsnittet är inspelat under förmiddagen den 17/9.

Today, politicians across the House of Commons have called for Lord Mandelson to resign as UK ambassador to the US over his connection to Jeffrey Epstein. Lord Mandelson acknowledged that there could be more "embarrassing" exchanges to come from his correspondence with Epstein who he described as his "best pal" in a letter for his 50th birthday. He likened his association with Epstein to "an albatross around my neck", adding he felt "profoundly upset that I was taken in" by a "charismatic criminal liar".Adam and Chris discuss what the revelations mean for the UK and US with Caitríona Perry, Chief Presenter for BBC News in WashingtonAnd presenter of the Security Brief, Mikey Kay talks to Adam about the state of global security after Poland shot down Russian drones that had entered it's air space overnight.

Anti-Islamic MC Members Running Gaza Food Site Security + Rogue Dirt Biker JailedToday on Black Dragon Biker TV, we're tackling one of the most explosive global biker stories to date — with an added dose of street-level chaos right here at home. A BBC investigation has revealed that UG Solutions, the firm guarding food distribution sites in Gaza, has been using members of the Infidels Motorcycle Club — a U.S.-based MC with a history of hostility toward Islam — to run armed security. According to BBC News:10 Infidels MC members were identified as working in Gaza.Seven hold senior positions overseeing operations.The sites, already controversial, have seen hundreds of civilians killed in chaos and gunfire while trying to get food.These arrangements reportedly have backing from Israel and U.S. President Donald Trump.This revelation raises questions about biker clubs being tied to humanitarian aid, political conflict, and global optics. Plus: Rogue Dirt Biker Jailed!Closer to home, a rogue dirt biker has been sent to jail for his role in stirring up mayhem in the city. From reckless riding to lawless antics, his arrest serves as another reminder that not every biker is representing the culture — some are just causing chaos.We'll Break Down: Who the Infidels MC are and why their presence in Gaza is controversial The political stakes of biker clubs in humanitarian operations⚖️ What this means for the future of biker reputations on a global stage The rogue dirt biker case — why reckless riders fuel negative stereotypes for the rest of usJoin Black Dragon, Lavish T.

After a Ukrainian government building was damaged in a Russian strike for the first time, Donald Trump told reporters outside the White House that he was ready to implement new sanctions against Moscow. So, what might ‘phase two' of a US sanctions package look like, and could it impact the Kremlin's ability to finance its ongoing invasion?To discuss Washington's options, we're joined by Stephanie Baker, a senior writer in Bloomberg's investigations team and author of ‘Punishing Putin: Inside the Global Economic War to Bring Down Russia'.

In this episode of The Impostor Syndrome Files, I talk with Melanie Marshall, keynote speaker, coach and former foreign correspondent for BBC News. Melanie spent decades reporting from some of the most dangerous and disaster-stricken parts of the world and what she came away with might surprise you.We explore how, in the midst of violence, tragedy and injustice, Melanie discovered the power of human connection, joy and purpose. She shares what she's learned about storytelling, resilience and the importance of grace, especially toward ourselves. We also talk about how imposter syndrome can show up even after massive success, and how owning your story can be the most courageous act of all.About My GuestMelanie Marshall is a speaker, coach and filmmaker who spent over 20 years as a BBC journalist in some of the world's most high-risk - and surprisingly inspiring places.Working under immense pressure, in wild uncertainty, for high stakes; she managed to come out the other side with award-winning results, and with her sanity and sense of humour (mostly) intact.Now from the TEDx stage to the boardroom, Melanie's new mission is to help people use her hard-won lessons to thrive in uncertainty by leaning into their 'accidental bravery' and optimism.~Connect with Melanie:Website: www.melaniemarshall.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melanie-marshall-237a641/~Connect with Kim and The Impostor Syndrome Files:Join the free Impostor Syndrome Challenge:https://www.kimmeninger.com/challengeLearn more about the Leading Humans discussion group:https://www.kimmeninger.com/leadinghumansgroupJoin the Slack channel to learn from, connect with and support other professionals: https://forms.gle/Ts4Vg4Nx4HDnTVUC6Join the Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/leadinghumansSchedule time to speak with Kim Meninger directly about your questions/challenges: https://bookme.name/ExecCareer/strategy-sessionConnect on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimmeninger/Website:https://kimmeninger.com

As French Prime Minister François Bayrou faces a motion of no confidence in the National Assembly, a grassroots protest movement is gathering steam with its rallying cry to "Block everything" on September 10. Organisers hope to bring the country to a standstill to protest against Bayrou's national budget plan ­– even though the current government is likely to fall before the demonstrations begin. So is the French government on the brink of collapse again?This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.

Today, President Trump prepares to host a meeting about what happens next for Gaza city but - aside from Special Envoy Steve Witkoff promising a ‘comprehensive' plan for what happens to Gaza - isn't sharing many details.Adam is joined by James Landale, Diplomatic Correspondent for BBC News and Caitriona Perry, Chief Presenter BBC News in Washington, to unpack three stories from the Trump administration: the meeting about Gaza, increasing import tariffs on India and secret operations in Greenland.And Adam talks to Nick Thomas-Symonds, the minister for EU relations, who delivered a speech in Westminster setting out how he would improve trade terms between the UK and EU, a day after the Reform leader Nigel Farage vowed to tear up the EU deal.

Today, Reform UK has set out a five-year plan to detain and deport all migrants who arrive in the UK without permission and suggested 600,000 people could be sent back over five years.Under the plan, named Operation Restoring Justice, Reform UK would bar anyone who comes to the UK on small boats from claiming asylum, and strike deals with countries to return those people. The proposals could face legal challenges and political opposition, with Labour branding it unworkable and the Conservatives accusing Reform UK of recycling their ideas.Adam is joined by Tom Symonds, BBC News correspondent and Dr Alice Donald, Associate Professor of Human Rights Law, Middlesex University.

Have businesses become less accountable? If something goes wrong with your flight, train, or takeaway, you'll probably struggle to get a helpful response from someone. Today's guest on Nudge, economist Dan Davies, says this is by design. He calls them Unaccountability Machines, and they're taking over. He explains that they've caused the world's largest defamation settlement against Fox News, almost destroyed Boeing, and even massacred 400 Chinese squirrels. ---  Dan's book: https://profilebooks.com/work/the-unaccountability-machine/  Dan's Nudgestock talk: https://youtu.be/W-2He-YzjRg?si=Gqk30nCPLDxxEh52 Subscribe to the (free) Nudge Newsletter: https://nudge.ck.page/profile  Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phill-agnew-22213187/  Watch Nudge on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@nudgepodcast/ ---  Today's sources:  BBC News.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 6 - COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Thank you William Barr! Thank you Jamie Comer! Thank you for rei-igniting Trumpstein! Turns out the Barr testimony to Comer that he never saw anything in the Epstein Files that implicated Trump (which may be officially released as early as today) is based on a little detail Comer didn't know about. Geoffrey Berman, the Barr-Trump prosecutor in the Epstein case, says he NEVER SHOWED ANY OF THE EPSTEIN FILES TO BARR. It's the Sgt. Schultz "I Know Nothing" defense. So trying to re-enact the washing of the Mueller Report won't work this time. PLUS: WHAT'S TRUMP DOING WITH UKRAINE? Stalling. It's obvious now. He's just killing time for Putin because that's what Putin wants. And those "post-war guarantees" for Ukraine? Turns out Russia would be able to veto any country's efforts to defend Ukraine. THE BEST NEW NICKNAME OF THE YEAR: As the tiny shiny nut job treated the military thugs occupying DC to Shake Shack (not increased VA benefits, just burgers), The Lincoln Project named Stephen Miller "Pee Wee German." Also, Shake Shack? Hosting the junta? Possibly a bad business strategy. KAROLINE LEAVITT - HALL OF FAME MORON: She's done it again. First she got the top Nazi's name wrong. Then she mispronounced "Trump" a bunch of times. Then "Noble Peace Prize." Now, wait'll you hear what she did to "pundit." B-Block (39:45) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The follow-up to the Zelensky/EU meeting at the White House on BBC News? An interview with Zelensky's Wardrobe Guy. Countdown and I have outlived MSNBC, or MSNOW. Joe Scarborough announced it. Although I understand he may change his name to Quisling. And Donald Trump wants to rehabilitate the reputation of American Slavery. C-Block (57:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Happened again. Somebody else told me they'd been told their career in media was over, so I got to recount how many times I've been told that. Last year one of the guys who told me that in the '80s died, and one of the ones who told me that in 2001 retired from a magazine. Good evening and welcome to the non-end of my career.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
