Podcasts about Bergen

Billy Armstrong wants every player he coaches to chase one truly impossible goal.In part two of this conversation, three years after his first appearance on the podcast, Bergen Catholic head coach Billy Armstrong digs into the goal-setting philosophy behind his program's vision: making Bergen the best place to play high school basketball in America. Billy explains why he pushes players toward impossible goals instead of realistic ones, why every player builds a quit list before setting any goal, and why becoming elite at anything requires doing fewer things, not more.If you missed part one, start there for the personal transformation behind all of this.

Bunte Holzhäuser, dicht an dicht am Wasser, dahinter ein Berg, darüber klarer Winterhimmel. Sieht aus wie die Postkarte von Norwegen. Ist aber echt. Und fast keiner ist da.Bergen, Norwegens zweitgrößte Stadt, fühlt sich an wie eine Kleinstadt. Der Trick, sie fast für sich allein zu haben, ist simpel: in der Nebensaison hinfahren. Wer macht das schon?Sich treiben lassen, statt Pläne zu machen. Die Einheimischen fragen, wo es langgeht, und ihnen einfach vertrauen, so freundlich sind sie. Sich mit Zimtschnecken aufwärmen, falls draußen mal der Regen an die Scheibe peitscht. Und sich abends mit einer Küche belohnen, mit der man nicht gerechnet hat.Das Schönste aber kommt schon vorher, auf dem Weg. Eine der spektakulärsten Zugfahrten der Welt, durch Schnee, vorbei an gefrorenen Wasserfällen und einem Norwegen wie aus dem Bilderbuch.Kommt mit nach Bergen und erlebt die Start so, wie ihr sie euch erträumt.

Episode #609: Jostein Kobbeltvedt, director of the Rafto Foundation for Human Rights in Bergen, Norway, reflects on how the 1990 Rafto Prize awarded to Aung San Suu Kyi helped bring Myanmar's democracy struggle to international attention and how the global narrative surrounding her later collided with the realities of governing. The Rafto Foundation was created to recognize human rights defenders while their struggles are still unfolding. Early laureates were dissidents from Eastern Europe, and the committee's decision to recognize Suu Kyi marked an expansion of the prize's focus beyond that region. At the time of the award, Suu Kyi was under house arrest and largely unknown outside Myanmar. Her name came to the committee's attention through a brief newspaper mention, yet the prize helped introduce her story to wider audiences. International recognition soon followed, including the Nobel Peace Prize. The Rafto Foundation maintained long-term contact with Suu Kyi and her family during her detention, and in 2013 she traveled to Bergen to formally receive the prize. But the narrative surrounding Suu Kyi shifted dramatically after she entered government following Myanmar's 2015 elections. As State Counsellor, she confronted political constraints that differed from those she faced as an opposition leader. Violence against Rohingya communities beginning in 2016, and her response to the crisis shocked many international supporters who had viewed her as a democratic icon. The experience highlights the complexities of democratic transitions and the enduring influence of military power within Myanmar's political system. It also illustrates how international advocacy, economic engagement, and diplomacy have shaped Norway's evolving relationship with Myanmar. Despite continuing setbacks, Kobbeltvedt emphasizes that Myanmar's citizens remain committed to pursuing democracy, and their struggle continues to draw international solidarity.

Warum passieren die meisten Unfälle nicht bei den großen, neuen Herausforderungen, sondern bei den Dingen, die wir schon hundertmal gemacht haben? In dieser Folge spricht Marco über die Gefahr der Routine-Nachlässigkeit: Bei großen, ungewohnten Vorhaben sind wir automatisch vorsichtig und gut vorbereitet, bei kleinen, vertrauten Aufgaben schleicht sich dagegen Übermut ein. Eine Folge über blinde Flecken im Risikomanagement und warum gerade das vermeintlich Kleine oft am gefährlichsten unterschätzt wird.

1995 ist Daniel knapp elf Jahre alt, als seine Familie zu einer großen Reise nach Kenia und Tansania aufbricht. Was folgt, würde man heute vielleicht „Type 2 Fun“ nennen: Währenddessen eher mäßig lustig, hinterher eine ziemlich gute Geschichte.Denn zwischen Bergen, Busch und Geländewagen läuft so einiges anders als geplant. Und ausgerechnet diese Reise sorgt dafür, dass Daniel anschließend vor allem eines will: mehr davon.----------------------------------Über das Format "Weltwach Reiseflops":Niemand scheitert gern – auch nicht auf Reisen. Aber im Nachhinein betrachtet ergeben die kleinen (und etwas größeren) Pleiten und Pannen unterwegs oft die schönsten Erinnerungen – und amüsantesten Geschichten.Genau die gibt es in dieser Show: Weltwach-Moderator Erik Lorenz zelebriert mit seinen Gästen genüsslich Stories von großen Rückschlägen und kleinen Fettnäpfchen, von Zumutungen und schmerzhaft erlangten Einsichten, fernab von Instagramability und aalglatten Abenteuergeschichten. Warum? Weil ein bisschen Schadenfreude glücklich macht. Und weil sich immer wieder zeigt: Hinter der Niederlage lauern wertvolle Lektionen. So mündet auch das hingebungsvollste Jammern für gewöhnlich unweigerlich: in einer Liebeserklärung an das Reisen. Du hast einen wahnsinnig witzigen oder lehrreichen Reiseflop erlebt und möchtest uns davon erzählen? Großartig!

214: In dieser Folge geht es um die Assistenz im Wandel, neue Rollenbilder und die Frage, wie Assistenzen ihre berufliche Entwicklung aktiv mitgestalten können. Welche Kompetenzen gewinnen an Bedeutung? Wie gelingt es, sich stärker als Sparringspartner für Führungskräfte zu positionieren? Und welche Chancen entstehen durch KI und neue Technologien?   Im Gespräch geht es unter anderem um: - die Zukunft der Assistenz und neue Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten - Sparring, emotionale Intelligenz und Coaching-Kompetenzen - die Bedeutung von Netzwerken für Karriere und persönliche Entwicklung - Eigeninitiative, Verantwortung und berufliche Weiterentwicklung - konkrete Einsatzmöglichkeiten von Künstlicher Intelligenz im Arbeitsalltag   Ein Gespräch über Veränderung, neue Perspektiven und darüber, wie Assistenzen ihre Rolle selbstbewusst weiterentwickeln und neue Chancen für sich nutzen können. Über Bettina Haug: Sie blickt auf nahezu 25 Jahre Erfahrung im Assistenzbereich zurück. Nach ihren beruflichen Anfängen in der Hotellerie begleitete sie Führungskräfte auf Top-Management- und Vorstandsebene, unter anderem bei Ernst & Young und internationalen Pharmaunternehmen. Als strategische Sparringspartnerin engagierte sie sich viele Jahre für Vernetzung, Wissenstransfer und die Weiterentwicklung von Assistenzen. Auch bei IMA Germany im Ehrenamt. Nach intensiven 10 Jahren im Vorstandsbüro der Augustinum-Gruppe wechselte sie 2025 im Anschluss an ihre Ausbildung zum Systemischen Coach in die Strategische Personalabteilung. Heute beschäftigt sie sich dort mit den Themen Integration, Diversity und Chancengerechtigkeit. Dabei verbindet sie ihre langjährige Erfahrung aus der Assistenz mit einem systemischen Blick auf Menschen und Organisationen. Ihr Antrieb ist es, Rahmenbedingungen zu schaffen, in denen Vielfalt als Stärke verstanden wird und Verbindungen entstehen und wachsen können. Wenn sie nicht arbeitet, ist Bettina am liebsten mit ihrem Mann in den Bergen unterwegs oder in ihrem Garten.   Links zum Podcast:

Hva skjer med de grunnleggende frihetene våre når den kompakte majoriteten ikke bare dominerer offentligheten, men også vil sette grensene for hvem som får ytre seg, møtes og bli hørt? I denne sendingen møter vi Trine Skarvang i Bevar Norge. Utgangspunktet er forsøk fra LO-tilknyttede fagforeninger på å stanse et BN-møte i Bergen og fagforeningsprotester mot organisasjonen i Trondheim – og hva dette sier om ytrings-, forsamlings- og trosfriheten.Derfra trekker samtalen historiske og ideologiske linjer fra kommunismen, fascismen og nasjonalsosialismen og frem til vår egen tid. Vi snakker om hvordan vestlige eliter og venstresiden forlot arbeiderklassen og sine historiske forankringer til fordel for nye idealer, mens kristendommen mistet sin sentrale plass og islam fikk større innflytelse. Også høyresidens rolle i denne utviklingen berøres.Vi kommer også inn på Bevar Norges voksende arbeid med lokallag og møter over hele Norge – og i Spania. En samtale om frihet, ideologiske røtter, kulturkamp og retten til å være uenig.

Today, we're bringing you a field recording from ISBJØRN! Skipper Manot Berger and August Sandberg were sitting down aboard the boat some days before the crew arrived and discussed the upcoming passage from Bergen, Norway to the Faroe Islands. So you get to be a fly on the wall in ISBJØRN's salon, listening in on this conversation between two experienced Skippers. Lots of good takeaways here if you are planning to sail the North Sea or the Norwegian Sea! We are spending some time discussing potential stopovers in Shetland or the Orkneys, both located half-way between Norway and the Faroes, and we also look ahead to the next passage, Faroes to Reykjavik and discuss potential routing there. This was recorded in the first week of July, 2026. If this makes your sealegs itch, come sailing with us! We actually have two open bunks on FALKEN coming up on September 21 already, she is sailing from Ensenada to Monterey Bay with Alex and Adam onboard. That is going to be such a fun trip, those guys are just the absolute best, spending time with Adam and Alex, their friendship, it just makes you adore all human beings. You can find that one and other openings on 59-North.com/bunks. We are also about to announce some extra bonus passages in the fall of 2027, probably at the end of this week, and we are also working on 2028, which is going to be a pretty exciting year for both boats.

Peggy Mjøs kommer ut med sin historie i starten av episoden, og det utvikler seg til en blanding av  havarikommisjon og Dr. Phil-seanse med Kristian, Martin med flere bidragsytere. Calle flyr fortsatt høy og nærme solen, med andre ord; alt er som det skal være for den spreke 40-åringen. Martin melder om fremgang, selv om utviklingen gjerne skulle gått fortere for Oksen fra Sømna.  Mathias logger gode økter både på High Performance-senteret og i badekaret, og kvesser knivene før halvmaraton til helgen. Og det store spørsmålet løftes opp: To Bicarb or not to Bicarb?

Was, wenn gute Führung genau dann beginnt, wenn die eigene Antwort ausbleibt?Dr. Andreas von der Heydt ist ein international anerkannter Leadership Experte. Er berät und coacht CEOs und Vorstände weltweit und kennt Führung zugleich aus eigenen Top-Management-Rollen bei Unternehmen wie Amazon, L´Oréal und Tchibo. Im Gespräch mit Johannes Füß zeigt er, warum sich der Wert von Führung im KI-Zeitalter verschiebt. Weg vom Anspruch, selbst alles wissen und entscheiden zu müssen, hin zur Fähigkeit, andere urteils- und handlungsfähig zu machen. Dabei geht es um Ego und Selbstvertrauen, echte Coachingkultur und die Human Power Skills, die künftig über Führungsqualität entscheiden. Für HR stellt sich damit auch die Frage, wie Führung entwickelt werden muss, wenn Wissen allein kein Differenzierungsmerkmal mehr ist.Dich erwarten folgende Themen:1) Warum Führung an Wirkung verliert, wenn sie sich weiterhin über die eigenen Antworten definiert.2) Woran HR erkennt, ob Führungskräfte wirklich befähigen oder lediglich Lösungen vorgeben.3) Warum Wissen abzugeben mehr Selbstvertrauen und weniger Ego braucht.4) Welche Human Power Skills wichtiger werden, wenn KI zunehmend Wissen und Analyse übernimmt.5) Wie HR Führung entwickeln kann, die Urteilsvermögen statt Abhängigkeit im Team erzeugt.___________Dr. Andreas von der Heydt freut sich über den Austausch zu Führung und Befähigung im KI-Zeitalter. Vernetze dich mit ihm auf LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreasvonderheydt Mehr über Andreas: https://andreasvonderheydt.com/ ___________Johannes ist Senior Vice President von EGYM Wellpass, dem Marktführer für Corporate Health Benefits. Auch wenn er eine Schwäche für Schokolade hat, ist Johannes' Bewusstsein für Gesundheit groß: Wenn der gebürtige Münchner nicht gerade dabei ist, Unternehmen dabei zu unterstützen, ihre Teams physisch und mental gesund zu halten, verbringt er seine Zeit aktiv in den Bergen - am liebsten mit seiner Familie.Melde dich bei Johannes Füß auf LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johannes-f%C3%BC%C3%9F/ Für weitere Perspektiven dazu, wie Führungskräfte Themen wie dieses angehen, folge der Level Up HR Community auf LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/level-up-hr-community/ 

Die Talksendung «Persönlich» auf Radio SRF 1 wird am Sonntag, 13. September 2026, um 10.00 Uhr live mit Publikum aus dem Fabriktheater in Schwanden übertragen. Dafi Kühne (44) ist Plakatgestalter und Buchdrucker, aufgewachsen in Mollis. Während fast alles digital wird, setzt er bewusst auf tonnenschwere Pressen, Blei- und Holzlettern – und verbindet sie mit zeitgenössischem Grafikdesign. Statt auf Schnelligkeit und perfekte Reproduzierbarkeit setzt er auf jahrhundertealtes Handwerk und Zeit. Er sammelt und repariert alte Maschinen, ergänzt fehlende Lettern selbst und arbeitet oft Tage, manchmal Wochen, an einem einzigen Plakat. Gerade aus diesem scheinbar anachronistischen Handwerk entstehen seine grossformatigen, farbintensiven und unverwechselbar modernen Plakate. Ein weltweit beachteter, eigenwilliger Kosmos, der dazu führt, dass Dafi Kühne auf der ganzen Welt unterrichtet und auch Ausstellungen in Japan hat. Gabi Aschwanden (56) wuchs in einfachen, schwierigen Verhältnissen in Linthal auf – und wurde mit 20 Jahren quasi ohne Berg- oder Kochkenntnisse Hüttenwartin der Fridolinshütte auf 2111 Metern. Was als blauäugiger Aufbruch begann, wurde für sie zur Lebensschule: Schnee schmelzen, Feuer machen, Gäste bewirten, Verantwortung übernehmen. 28 Jahre lang lebte und arbeitete sie unterhalb des geliebten Tödi; aus der jungen Frau, die selbst kaum wusste, wo die Hütte liegt, wurde eine kundige Wanderleiterin und Vermittlerin von Bergen und Natur. Heute bringt sie diese Erfahrung auch als Gemeinderätin ein: Sie kämpft dafür, dass die Bergwelt nicht bloss touristische Kulisse, sondern ein schützenswerter Lebensraum bleibt.

Night three of Mørketid is out. Norway.She Carries a Rake...A craft decision I want to explain...The draug should have been the finale. He's the better monster by any obvious measure — a drowned fisherman in oilskins with a mass of seaweed where his head should be, sailing half a boat against the wind, screaming out on the water where there is nobody. That's a closing image.I put him second, and gave the ending to an old woman walking up a path.Here's why. Everything in these four episodes has a countermeasure. Say the Näkki's name. Turn your coat inside out. Be polite to the Huldra and keep your luck. Stay off the water. Every horror in this series comes with something small and stubborn you can do about it — that's the whole argument the finale makes.Pesta has nothing. She isn't cruel and she isn't kind and she cannot be bargained with and nothing you did brought her. In 1349 the plague came into Bergen on a ship and Norway lost somewhere between half and two thirds of its people in about eighteen months, and because Norway is a country of valleys reachable by one path each, it didn't sweep. It walked. At the speed of a person, because it was carried by people.So you knew it was coming. You'd had word. It had been three valleys over, and then two, and then the next one.And what they made out of that is the most efficient piece of horror I've ever come across. She carries either a rake or a broom. A rake has gaps — things slip between the tines, and some of you live. A broom has none.And you can see her on the path, a long way down, for about an hour. And the only thing you are doing for that entire hour is trying to work out what's in her hand.If you want to go deeper...Theodor Kittelsen painted Pesta over and over in the 1890s and those images are what most Norwegians still picture. Worth looking up before you listen. It's the flatness of her face that does it — she isn't malicious. She's just arriving.Next Episode...Sweden. And that one was the hardest of the four to write, so fair warning.The candle stays lit.

Am Donnerstagabend des 12. September 2024 wurden zwei Bergsteiger, eine 57-jährige Kanadierin sowie ihr 56-jähriger Lebenspartner, von einem plötzlichen Schneesturm in den Dolomiten in Südtirol überrascht, während sie zu einer Berghütte aufsteigen wollten. Etwa zwei Kilometer von der Hütte entfernt, in der Höhe von etwa 2300 Metern, setzten sie einen Notruf ab, da sie erschöpft und mittlerweile stark unterkühlt waren. Die Rettungsmannschaft machte sich sofort auf den Weg zu den beiden Bergsteigern. Ein Rettungshubschrauber konnte aufgrund der schlechten Witterung nicht landen. Für die Kanadierin kam jede Rettung zu spät, sie starb an Unterkühlung.Diese Tragödie stimmt nachdenklich, denn sie zeigt, wie schnell das Leben enden kann – manchmal ohne Vorwarnung. Doch in Wahrheit befinden wir uns alle in Lebensgefahr, auch wenn wir es nicht spüren. Die Bibel sagt, dass nicht nur Stürme oder Krankheiten uns bedrohen, sondern vor allem die Sünde, die uns von Gott trennt. Was können wir tun? Wer seinen Notruf an Jesus richtet, wird nicht nur für den Moment, sondern für die Ewigkeit gerettet, wie der heutige Bibelvers deutlich aufzeigt. Wer ihm sein Leben anvertraut, seine Sünden bekennt, kommt nicht ins Gericht, sondern erhält ewiges Leben. Jesus ist nicht nur ein Helfer in schwierigen Zeiten – er ist der einzige Retter, der uns vor dem ewigen Tod bewahren kann. Die größte Gefahr, in der wir stehen, ist nicht die Kälte eines Schneesturms, sondern die Trennung von Gott durch unsere Schuld.Wir alle brauchen Hilfe – nicht nur in Notlagen, sondern grundsätzlich in allem, was unser Leben betrifft. Jesus streckt seine Hand aus. Die Frage ist: Greifen Sie zu, bevor es zu spät ist? Das wäre eine lebensrettende Entscheidung.Manuela BasistaDiese und viele weitere Andachten online lesenWeitere Informationen zu »Leben ist mehr« erhalten Sie unter www.lebenistmehr.de

The U.S. responded by launching a poorly defined war across the Greater Middle East that led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians, the displacement of millions more, and the destruction of U.S. credibility and prestige. The war would be defined by the failures that flowed from long-term occupations and a preemptive invasion, the use of torture, and official lies.Did the GWOT — the global war on terrorism — accomplish anything? Is it over? In this episode, Peter Bergen discusses his new book, All the Presidents' Wars, which covers the past quarter-century.Peter Bergen is a journalist, documentary producer, and vice president for global studies at New America, a D.C. think tank.

Twenty-five years after 9/11, what did America's War on Terror actually accomplish?Peter Bergen, one of the country's leading experts on terrorism and national security, joins The Burn Bag to take stock of a quarter-century of American war and counterterrorism. Bergen produced the first televised interview with Osama bin Laden in 1997 and is the author or editor of ten books, including his newest, All the President's Wars, which examines twenty-five years of the War on Terror.From the initial invasion of Afghanistan and the decision to go to war in Iraq to the rise of ISIS, the expansion of drone warfare, the raid that killed bin Laden, and the eventual U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, we look at what worked, what failed, and what the United States should have learned.We discuss what bin Laden hoped to achieve with 9/11; where the war in Afghanistan went wrong; whether Iraq was the defining strategic mistake of the post-9/11 era; how the United States became extraordinarily effective at disrupting terrorist organizations while struggling to translate tactical victories into political outcomes; and why four successive presidents struggled to bring America's longest war to an end.Finally, we take stock of the War on Terror's legacy 25 years later: Did it succeed? Is it actually over? And are we at risk of repeating its mistakes today?

Was passiert, wenn du aufhörst, nach Antworten zu suchen – und dich stattdessen vom Leben finden lässt? In dieser Folge nimmt Yavi dich mit in einen Sommer, der ganz anders verlaufen ist als geplant und dabei mehr in ihr bewegt hat, als sie erwartet hätte. Sie erzählt von Bergen statt Fernreise, spontanen Planänderungen, körperlichen Erfahrungen, langen Nächten auf der Tanzfläche und einer intensiven Zeremonie, die ihre Beziehung zu sich selbst, zu ihrem Glauben und zu ihrer inneren Führung tief verändert hat. Und dabei dreht sich viel um die Frage: Was wird möglich, wenn wir weniger kontrollieren, unserem Körper wieder zuhören und uns erlauben, Erfahrungen zu machen, die außerhalb dessen liegen, was wir bereits von uns kennen? Es geht um die permanente Suche nach dem nächsten richtigen Schritt und den Moment, in dem Yavi beschlossen hat, genau diese Suche zu beenden. Um Hingabe und Vertrauen, um Spiritualität, die nicht nur in Meditation und Stille stattfindet, sondern mitten im Körper.

Monsignore Wolfgang Huber ist in den Bergen zu Hause. Geboren in Reit im Winkl fühlt er sich den Bergen verbunden und verbringt seine Freizeit gerne mit Skifahren und Bergwandern. Man könne die Schönheit unserer Welt in ganz besonderer Weise entdecken, findet er. Im Evangelium spricht Jesus von der Feindesliebe. Der Text lädt zum Nachdenken ein, findet Huber: Wo können wir barmherzig sein? Wo können wir nicht nur auf uns schauen, sondern anderen entgegenkommen? Den anderen Menschen ins Gebet einschließen kann uns dabei helfen - und natürlich das bekannte Schubladendenken vermeiden. Neugierig geworden? Jetzt reinhören in "Blick in die Bibel"!Aus dem Evangelium nach Lukas:In jener Zeit sprach Jesus zu seinen Jüngern: Euch, die ihr zuhört, sage ich: Liebt eure Feinde; tut denen Gutes, die euch hassen! Segnet die, die euch verfluchen; betet für die, die euch beschimpfen! Dem, der dich auf die eine Wange schlägt, halt auch die andere hin und dem, der dir den Mantel wegnimmt, lass auch das Hemd! Gib jedem, der dich bittet; und wenn dir jemand das Deine wegnimmt, verlang es nicht zurück! Und wie ihr wollt, dass euch die Menschen tun sollen, das tut auch ihr ihnen! Wenn ihr die liebt, die euch lieben, welchen Dank erwartet ihr dafür? Denn auch die Sünder lieben die, von denen sie geliebt werden. Und wenn ihr denen Gutes tut, die euch Gutes tun, welchen Dank erwartet ihr dafür? Das tun auch die Sünder. Und wenn ihr denen Geld leiht, von denen ihr es zurückzubekommen hofft, welchen Dank erwartet ihr dafür? Auch die Sünder leihen Sündern, um das Gleiche zurückzubekommen. Doch ihr sollt eure Feinde lieben und Gutes tun und leihen, wo ihr nichts zurückerhoffen könnt. Dann wird euer Lohn groß sein und ihr werdet Söhne des Höchsten sein; denn auch er ist gütig gegen die Undankbaren und Bösen. Seid barmherzig, wie auch euer Vater barmherzig ist! Richtet nicht, dann werdet auch ihr nicht gerichtet werden! Verurteilt nicht, dann werdet auch ihr nicht verurteilt werden! Erlasst einander die Schuld, dann wird auch euch die Schuld erlassen werden! Gebt, dann wird auch euch gegeben werden! Ein gutes, volles, gehäuftes, überfließendes Maß wird man euch in den Schoß legen; denn nach dem Maß, mit dem ihr messt, wird auch euch zugemessen werden. (Lk 6,27-38)(© Ständige Kommission für die Herausgabe der gemeinsamen liturgischen Bücher im deutschen Sprachgebiet)

From the publisher:"2026 is the twenty-fifth anniversary of 9/11, the most devastating attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor. Within days, the United States began to declare its war on terror: “Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists,” President George W. Bush proclaimed. The resulting war on terror cost trillions of dollars, hundreds of thousands of lives, a series of misguided wars, and the damaged perception of American power. And yet despite its blunders, this campaign has kept America safe from large-scale foreign attack.Based on hundreds of interviews, All the Presidents' Wars focuses on critical decisions of four successive presidents―Bush, Obama, Biden, and Trump―and their global consequences. One of the few journalists to interview Osama bin Laden and have unparalleled access to the US intelligence community, Peter Bergen covers the history that might have been avoided: the many terrorist attacks by al-Qaeda and its affiliated groups around the world; the rise of al-Qaeda in Iraq, largely responsible for the Iraqi civil war in the mid-2000s; the birth of ISIS; the resurrection of Afghanistan's Taliban; and Trump's war with Iran. From the failure to capture and the eventual killing of Osama bin Laden to the disastrous rise of sectarian violence in the Middle East, Bergen traces the profound ramifications of this epoch in American life.All the Presidents' Wars also explores the innovations and unintended consequences of each presidency's military and political decisions, including debates over military intervention and withdrawal; the tactics of special operations units, armed drones, and armies of counterterrorism partners; and whether the idea of war ever properly captured the defining conflict of recent American foreign policy. All the Presidents' Wars is essential reading to understand America's devastating war on terror and to avoid the mistakes of the past."Peter Bergen's website can be found at https://www.peterbergen.com/Information on his book can be found at https://wwnorton.com/books/all-the-presidents-warsAxelbankHistory.com is designed by https://www.ellieclairedesigns.com/Axelbank Reports History and Today" can be found on social media at https://twitter.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://instagram.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://facebook.com/axelbankhistory

Toyota didn't beat Mercedes by getting cheaper. It beat Mercedes by getting closer to the customer first. Here's the six-year research obsession behind the Lexus LS 400, and why undercutting your way to a full panel is a strategy that has already failed in a dozen other industries, and what Harvard's own pricing research says to do instead. By Michael Tetreault, Editor-In-Chief, Concierge Medicine Today "I'm a car guy, so bear with me on this one. There will be some good points [in this article], I promise. I know enough about engines to self-diagnose and wrench on them myself. Driving an old car with lifter problems through North Dakota and southern Canada in the '90s will teach you that." ~Michael Tetreault Today's article isn't about concierge medicine directly. It's about a distant cousin in the subscription-based healthcare world, direct primary care, or DPC. Over the past two decades, I've noticed more and more that there is a moment almost every DPC or low-cost, membership-based practice hits around year two or three, when the patient panel quietly stalls (catch the car pun). Growth that used to feel automatic starts to flatten out, and you notice it before you can quite explain it. That's usually right about when a competitor down the road launches at $59 to $93 a month, and a quiet voice in your head says: just drop the price. Fill the seats. Worry about margin later. That instinct is understandable. It is also, according to decades of business research and a growing body of data inside concierge and membership medicine itself, one of the fastest ways to damage the very practice you built to serve patients better. This is not a scolding. It is a strategy conversation, grounded in evidence, for low-cost subscription-based physicians who left, or are considering leaving, the insurance-driven system specifically to build something sustainable that has a low cost for the patients because you feel your altruistic nature pulling you to do so. But, if the goal is sustainability, the tactic matters. What "racing to the bottom" actually means Let's zoom out for a moment. A price war is what happens when competitors inside the same market repeatedly cut prices to undercut one another, creating a cycle where each side matches or beats the last cut. This "price-cutting momentum" pulls in competitors who feel forced to follow the initial price cut, and while it can create short-term benefits for the buyer, it erodes the profit margins of everyone competing. Harvard Business School researchers Akshay Rao and Mark Bergen, writing in Harvard Business Review, built a career studying exactly this dynamic across industries. Their conclusion, echoed by strategists since, is blunt: most price wars are avoidable, and the businesses that start them or get pulled into them rarely come out ahead. The Kinsta business blog, summarizing HBR's own internal analysis of the question, put it plainly: when businesses were asked whether they should engage in a price war, the overwhelming answer was "no." Instead, the research points toward differentiation as the more durable response to a low-cost competitor. There is a second, quieter finding in that same research that some physicians should sit with. Price itself shapes how a buyer perceives value, and a price set too low signals that the product is cheap, in the way a price set too high can signal it is a ripoff. In other words, the discount that was supposed to win the patient can be the very thing that tells the patient your care is not worth much. It's indeed, a delicate balance and it's different for every practice and every doctor. Why? Because of who you work for and serve: the patient. Every patient is different. Every practice is different. That makes this topic challenging but it's a conversation worth having because I want to see your practice thrive and more importantly, survive in your community. The framework underneath the instinct Michael Porter, the Harvard strategist whose work still anchors most first-year MBA curricula, described three durable paths to competitive advantage: cost leadership, differentiation, or a focused niche strategy. A company chooses to compete either through lower costs than its rivals or by differentiating itself along dimensions the customer actually values, in order to command a higher price. What Porter warned against was the position most panic-driven price cuts land a practice in. Porter's phrase for it is "stuck in the middle," and it describes an organization trying to be all things to all people, with no distinct competitive advantage as a result. Businesses caught here typically perform the worst in their industry precisely because they never committed to one strength. A DPC practice that quietly lowers its price to compete on cost, while still trying to deliver same-day access, unhurried visits, and so-called affordable white-glove service, is not competing on cost leadership. It is trying to sell a premium product at a discount price, and the math does not hold. Today, a medical practice or a company stuck in this position cannot beat a true cost leader on price, because it never built the operational discipline or scale to sustain that price, and it cannot beat a differentiator on the experience it promised, because the discipline required to deliver that experience costs money. Both promises erode at once. What the data inside DPC and low-cost membership medicine is already showing This is not theoretical for DPC and low-cost membership medicine practices. It is visible in the industry's own numbers. The 2026 State of DPC survey, distributed through the DPC Alliance and Hint Health's network, found a direct relationship between panel size and price. Practices with fewer than 200 patients averaged $105.93 per member per month, practices with 201 to 500 patients averaged $99.28, and practices with more than 500 patients averaged $77.74 per member per month. Read plainly, the larger the panel, the lower the average price charged per patient. That pattern is exactly what Porter's framework predicts happens to practices chasing volume without a differentiation strategy to protect price. It is worth noting this figure comes from Hint Health, a technology vendor with a commercial interest in DPC's growth, so it should be read as directional industry data rather than an independent audit. It is nonetheless the most comprehensive dataset the movement currently has. At the same time, the broader market is not short on room to compete on value instead of price. More than half of private healthcare consumers rank the cost of care as the most dissatisfying part of their current healthcare experience, and DPC's growth has been driven in large part by employers and patients who are tired of opaque, escalating costs elsewhere in the system, not by DPC being the cheapest option on paper. Employers now fund the majority, roughly 60 percent, of active DPC memberships, according to Hint Health's 2026 trends report, which signals that the buyers filling panels today are increasingly sophisticated purchasers evaluating value, retention, and outcomes, not simply hunting for the lowest sticker price. Regional pricing tells a similar story. Northeast DPC pricing rose 33 percent over five years, from $60 to $80 a month, even as national demand for the model accelerated. Practices in that region did not grow by discounting. They grew while raising price, in a market that was simultaneously expanding. The altruism problem no one names out loud Here is the part of this conversation that is specific to medicine and does not show up in a typical business school case study on price wars. Physicians are trained, deliberately and repeatedly, to put the patient's welfare ahead of their own. Medical professionalism itself is defined in the literature by principles of excellence, accountability, altruism, integrity, and humanism, all oriented around the patient relationship. That formation is not incidental. It is the point of medical education, and it is a genuine strength of the profession that should never be coached out of a physician. But that same formation has a side effect worth naming honestly. A rigorous study out of the University of Cologne and University of Rennes, published in the Journal of Health Economics, measured patient-regarding altruism in 733 medical students at different stages of training. The researchers found that patient-regarding altruism is highest among freshmen, declines significantly through the middle years of medical study, and rises again in the final year as students begin assisting in clinical practice. Students with lower income expectations showed higher altruism scores overall. Sit with that last finding. The training that makes physicians excellent, trustworthy, patient-first clinicians also correlates with a documented discomfort around charging what care is actually worth. That discomfort is admirable in the exam room. It becomes a strategic liability in the business office, where it quietly nudges a physician toward the lowest defensible price rather than the price that reflects the value delivered, the access provided, and the sustainability required to keep serving that same patient for the next twenty years. This is not a call to abandon altruism. It is a call to separate two different questions that get tangled together under stress: am I a good doctor and am I running a sustainable practice. A price built out of guilt is not more altruistic than a price built out of strategy. A closed practice serves no one. What other industries learned the hard way Medicine is not the first field to face this exact temptation, and the businesses that raced to the bottom on price rarely tell a happy ending. Rao and Bergen's HBR research spans industries from B2B and agribusiness to healthcare and the nonprofit sector, and the throughline in that body of work is consistent: firms that respond to a low-price competitor by cutting their own price usually shrink the whole market's profitability without gaining durable share, because the competitor simply cuts again. The winners in price wars, when there are any, tend to be the largest players with the deepest balance sheets, the ones who can absorb losses the longest. A solo or small-group physician practice is almost never that player, and should not try to be. The lesson for low-cost DPC physicians is not abstract. It is Porter's choice, stated as a decision every practice has to make deliberately rather than by drift: compete on being demonstrably, operationally the lowest-cost, highest-efficiency provider in your market, which requires real scale and real systems, or compete on being demonstrably different in a way patients value enough to pay for. Trying to hold both at once is what leaves a practice, in Porter's words, stuck in the middle, with margins too thin to sustain the very things that made the practice worth choosing in the first place. The Lexus Lesson: Price Is a Result, Not a Strategy Circling back to my car guy roots, there is an automotive story worth every physician's attention here, because it is one of the clearest business case studies ever produced on the exact question this article is asking you if you're a DPC physician. It comes from Hagerty's "Revelations" series, hosted by Jason Cammisa, on the origin of the 1989 Lexus LS 400, and it has been retold in detail across automotive trade press and in Chester Dawson's book Lexus: The Relentless Pursuit. The origin story matters as much as the engineering. Toyota's first American export, the Toyopet Crown, was a flop, selling only a few hundred units before Toyota pulled it from the market in the late 1950s. Twenty five years of steady rebuilding later, Toyota had become the largest importer of vehicles into the United States, and that success triggered a protectionist response. In the early 1980s, the U.S. government pressured Japan into so-called voluntary export restraints, capping Japanese auto imports at roughly 1.7 million vehicles a year. With volume capped by government policy, Toyota USA's Yukiyasu Togo pushed a different lever: if the company could not sell more cars, it needed to sell more profitable ones. That constraint, not ambition alone, is what pushed Toyota into the luxury segment. In 1983, Toyota's then chairman Eiji Toyoda greenlit a secret effort known as Project F1, for Flagship One. Where a typical vehicle program of that era might use around 200 engineers and a few hundred million dollars, F1 was reportedly given no fixed budget and a development team of roughly 1,400 engineers, 60 designers, and thousands of additional technicians and support staff, spread across a six-year effort widely reported to have cost in the neighborhood of a billion dollars. What that team actually did is the part physicians should study closely. Rather than guess at what luxury buyers wanted, a team of designers and engineers relocated to a rented house in Laguna Beach, California, and spent months directly observing affluent Americans: watching valet stands outside country clubs, studying the furniture in high-end homes, and even analyzing the leather scent inside Jaguar interiors closely enough to reverse-engineer the tanning process. They tested switchgear and steering wheel ergonomics against how women with long, manicured nails actually interact with a dashboard. This is the practice Toyota calls genchi genbutsu, going to see for yourself, rather than relying on assumptions about the customer. Separately, Toyota's research uncovered something more specific and more useful than "people want a cheaper luxury car." Mercedes-Benz owners loved the prestige of their cars but consistently described the dealership experience itself, the pressure, the wait, the sense of being talked down to, as miserable. Lexus rebuilt the entire buying experience around that single insight. Sales moved from an elevated desk to a shared coffee table, removing the physical power imbalance of a traditional car sale. Only 80 of roughly 1,500 dealer applicants were approved to sell the car, each required to invest several million dollars and submit to ongoing customer satisfaction audits. The product and the experience of buying it were treated as a single, inseparable offer. The engineering discipline underneath all of this was, by most independent accounts, extreme. Chief engineer Ichiro Suzuki pursued a drag coefficient of 0.29, well below the S-Class's 0.36 to 0.37, without relying on a rear spoiler, which he considered an inelegant shortcut. Interior noise was engineered down to roughly 58 decibels versus about 60 for the S-Class, and multiple road tests reported the LS 400 was as quiet at 125 miles per hour as its German rivals were at 95. Prototypes logged well over a million miles of testing, and engineers reportedly disassembled competitor vehicles to study exactly how they failed over years of use, then engineered around each weakness. When the LS 400 launched in 1989, it was priced at roughly $35,000, commonly cited as about half the price, or as much as $30,000 less, than a comparably equipped Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The price gap was so large that BMW reportedly suggested Toyota was selling the car at a loss. Within two years, Lexus had overtaken Mercedes-Benz as the best-selling luxury import brand in the United States and topped J.D. Power's quality and service rankings, and Mercedes is reported to have lost roughly a quarter of its U.S. sales in the aftermath. Here is the part physicians should sit with. The low price was not the strategy. It was the output of the strategy. Toyota did not set out to build a cheaper Mercedes and work backward. It spent six years and enormous resources removing the specific frustrations its own research showed were driving prestige-loving customers away, then engineered a manufacturing process disciplined enough to make that quality repeatable at scale, and only after that work was done did it set a price the market would reward. The aggressive price was possible because the operational excellence and the customer research underneath it were real, not because anyone at Toyota decided to compete by cutting corners. This is the distinction that gets lost when a DPC or low-cost membership medicine practice drops its membership fee simply to fill a panel out of fear. Toyota's price was earned through relentless, well-funded engineering and firsthand study of exactly what its target customer resented about the existing options. A practice that lowers its price without first doing that same work, actually going to see for yourself what frustrates the patients you want to serve, and building a practice that removes those specific frustrations, is doing the opposite of what Lexus did. It is cutting the price before it has earned the right to. The translatable lesson is not "charge less." It is this: find out, directly and specifically, what your patients are actually frustrated by in the healthcare experience they already have, build a practice that removes that frustration with real discipline, treat the entire patient experience, not just the clinical visit, as part of the product, and let price follow from that work rather than substitute for it. Toyota spent six years in the field before it touched the price tag. Most practices considering a discount have not spent six weeks asking patients what specifically is broken in the care they are currently getting. What to build instead None of this means price is fixed or that access should be reserved only for the wealthy. It means the starting question changes. Instead of asking what is the lowest price that will fill my panel, the more durable question is what does my practice do that a patient cannot get anywhere else in this market, and does my price reflect that honestly. That might be same-day access. It might be visit length. It might be a specific clinical focus, a specific population, or a specific relationship to a local employer. Differentiation does not require the highest price in the market. It requires a clear, honest reason for the price you have chosen, one you can say out loud to a patient without flinching. Panel growth built on discounting tends to attract patients who are price-shopping and will leave the moment a cheaper option appears next door. Panel growth built on a clear, differentiated value proposition tends to attract patients who stay, refer, and tolerate a price increase because they understand what they are paying for.

Das Mühlviertel im Norden Oberösterreichs ist eine Region der leisen Töne: sanfte Hügel, dichte Wälder, weite Felder und kleine Bauernhöfe prägen die Landschaft. Spektakulär-unspektakulär, nennt es einer der Menschen, denen Lydia Möcklinghoff und Erik Lorenz hier begegnen. Und gerade an diesem vermeintlich unscheinbaren Ort entdecken sie eine erstaunliche kulinarische Innovationskraft.Im kleinen Neufelden lernen sie die Familie Rachinger kennen, die hier seit Generationen den Mühltalhof betreibt und aus einem historischen Familienbetrieb einen außergewöhnlichen kulinarischen Ort geschaffen hat. Mit Helmut Rachinger sammeln Lydia und Erik wilden Hopfen, Giersch und andere Kräuter am Ufer der Großen Mühl – bevor sie am Abend erleben, was Sohn Philip Rachinger und sein Team daraus in einem mit zwei Michelin-Sternen ausgezeichneten Zwölf-Gänge-Menü entstehen lassen.Außerdem besuchen sie den Bio-Landwirt Johannes Steinmayr, der von Tierwohl, regionalen Kreisläufen und der besonderen Innovationskraft des Mühlviertels erzählt – und mit dem „Mühlschotto“ einen eigenen, zwei Jahre gereiften Schinken produziert. Zwischen Schweinedusche und Sterneküche, Flussbad und Wildkräutern geht es um Menschen, die fest in ihrer Heimat verwurzelt sind und gerade deshalb den Mut haben, Neues auszuprobieren.Eine kulinarische Reise durch ein Oberösterreich, das nicht laut um Aufmerksamkeit wirbt – und gerade damit ziemlich nachhaltig beeindruckt.Links: Hotel & Restaurant Mühltalhof: https://www.muehltalhof.at/ Restaurant Fernruf 7: https://www.fernruf.at/Bio-Hof Steinmayr und Gastwirtschaft Hansberg: https://www.bio-bauernhof.at/ Diese Folge – wie das gesamte Format “Köstliches Österreich” – entstand in Partnerschaft und mit freundlicher Unterstützung von “Österreich Werbung”.=== Über “Köstliches Österreich” ===Frisches Brot aus dem Holzofen im Lesachtal.

Helge kommt eigentlich aus dem klassischen Alpinismus und verbrachte viele Jahre in den Westalpen, bevor er 2021 den Radsport für sich entdeckte. Als Ausgleich zum Schichtalltag in der Notaufnahme und auf der Intensivstation wurde das Fahrrad schnell zum idealen Werkzeug, um das Stresslevel nach langen Diensten wieder herunterzufahren. Innerhalb kürzerer Zeit entwickelte er sich vom Feierabend-Fahrer zum Langstrecken-Spezialisten auf Straße und Gravel.Im Podcast spricht Helge über die Magie von Fahrten durch die Nacht, wo die Geräuschkulisse ruht und die Welt ganz anders riecht. Wir sprechen über seine Erfahrungen bei Events wie dem Border Bash Race, Sneak Peaks, Rooted Secrets und der Tour Divide. Er erklärt, wie seine jahrelange Erfahrung in den Bergen ihm beim Pacing hilft und warum Gelassenheit und ein klarer Verstand am Ende oft wertvoller sind als unüberlegtes Bolzen.Neben Lerneffekten bei extremen Wetterbedingungen sprechen wir über das Finden der eigenen Belastungsgrenzen, die Optimierung des Setups und wie er das Ultracycling mit seinem Job im Krankenhaus in Einklang bringt.Viel Spaß!ShownotesHelge auf Instagram https://www.instagram.com/helgefromthehills/Quelle MusikTropic Fuse - French Fuse aus dem YT Creator Studio Quelle BilderHelge Meyer

Nicht einmal 24 Stunden hats gedauert und das ganze Dorf war hässig auf die 404-Crew – eine ganz normale Retraite in den Bergen halt. Mätthu und Neil regen sich dafür über die Post auf. Und Phil hat sich in seiner Nachbarschaft quasi zu einem angehenden Oscar-Gewinner gemogelt. «Debriefing 404», der Podcast der «Studio 404»-Crew: Tätschmeister Mätthu und seine linke Hand Phil bieten einmal pro Woche einen ihrer Fusssoldat:innen auf, um öffentlich die Dreckwäsche aus dem Team zu waschen. Neben all den Anekdoten von hinter den Kulissen und Büro-Gossip bleibt auch immer Zeit für Geschichten, die das Leben schreibt. Irgendwie muss man sich ja den Ruf ruinieren.

Recorded live at from the AI tent at Arendal, Wednesday, 12 August 2026.Scott Rettberg hosts a live panel from Arendalsuka featuring Center for Digital Narrative researchers Zahra Rizvi, Hanna Lauvli and Jason Nelson. The panel explores how generative AI is reshaping narrative practices, ranging from sensor-driven digital art and "AI slop" meme culture to intimate relationships with AI companions on Reddit. Together, they debate the tensions between de-skilling and democratization, the geopolitical and climate costs of big tech, and how creators are critically pushing back against algorithmic homogenization.AI Boyfriends as New Romantic Texts – Zahra RizviAlgorithmic intimacy and the pursuit of romantic companionship are creating new narratives and creative possibilities. This research provides insight into the Reddit discussion forum AI Boyfriends, and the stories that emerge where romance meets AI.Millions of data points become a story – Jason NelsonImagine turning tens of millions of data points into an ever-changing story. Intelligent systems can turn what was previously near impossible into new forms of digital storytelling.The Artist's Negotiation with AI – Hanna LauvliIn the art world, artists express fear and doubt about the vast amounts of stolen data that AI is built on, how it will affect their job market, and the very basis of what creativity is. This research looks at how content creators and artists negotiate their own relationships with generative AI online.ReferencesArendalsuka. (2025).

What if giving up alcohol didn't mean giving up adventure?Travel is supposed to expand our world. But what happens when the very places we travel to seem to revolve around drinking?A hotel minibar. An airport bar. A champagne toast. A business conference where networking happens over cocktails. A cruise where drinks seem to follow you everywhere.For travel writer Teresa Bergen, traveling alcohol-free isn't about living a smaller life. It's about finally being free to experience a bigger one.In this conversation, Michael and Teresa explore the unexpected challenges of sober travel—and the freedom that comes from learning how to navigate the world on your own terms. Teresa shares what she's discovered through 15 years as a travel writer specializing in outdoor adventure, wellness, vegan and sober travel, and why she believes we didn't get sober to have little lives.Her new book, Sober Travel Handbook, offers practical strategies for navigating airports, hotels, conferences, family gatherings, cruises, and unfamiliar cultures without alcohol becoming the center of the experience.But this conversation goes deeper than travel tips.It's about what happens when we stop allowing other people's expectations to define how we experience the world.Because the goal isn't simply to travel without alcohol. It's to discover how much more life there is to experience when you don't need it.Find us on Apple, Spotify or your favorite listening platform; visit us on our YouTube channel Find everything "One More Thing" here: https://taplink.cc/beforeyougopodcastWant to be a guest on One More Thing Before You Go?

Im Salzburger Land treffen glitzernde Seen, steile Berge und jahrtausendealte Traditionen aufeinander. Genau das spiegelt sich auch in der Küche wider. In dieser zweiten Folge von „Köstliches Österreich“ folgen Miriam und ihr Freund Fabian den Spuren des Salzes, entdecken Safranfelder mitten in den Alpen und begegnen Menschen, die altes Wissen bewahren und neu interpretieren.Tief unter dem Dürrnberg bei Hallein folgen sie den Spuren des weißen Goldes und erfahren, wie das Salz die Region über Generationen geprägt hat. Außerdem begegnen sie Menschen, die kulinarische Traditionen auf ganz unterschiedliche Weise weiterführen: einem Koch, der Erinnerungen an die Gerichte seiner Kindheit neu interpretiert, einer Familie, die den Safrananbau zurück ins Salzburger Land gebracht hat, und einem „Küchenarchäologen“, der vergessene Rezepte des Alpenraums bewahrt und neu entdeckt.Zwischen Bergwerk, Safranfeld und Herd geht es um die Geschichten hinter den Zutaten. Und darum, wie eng Natur, Geschichte und Genuss im Salzburger Land miteinander verbunden sind.Und hier gibt's Rolands 10-Minuten Kaiserschmarrn-Rezept zum Abspeichern:250 ml Milch3 Eier100 g Weizenmehl5 g SalzAlles verrühren, in Butter goldbraun backen, zerteilen und mit etwas Zucker servieren.Links:Salzwelten Salzburg: https://www.salzwelten.atAaron Priwasser, Aarons Genusskrämerei: https://www.genusskraemerei.at Leoganger Safran: https://www.safran-leogang.at Roland Essl, Alpenkulinarik: https://www.alpenkulinarik.at Diese Folge – wie das gesamte Format „Köstliches Österreich“ – entstand in Partnerschaft und mit freundlicher Unterstützung von Österreich Werbung.=== Über “Köstliches Österreich” === Frisches Brot aus dem Holzofen im Lesachtal.

In April, 1321, the lepers of Southern France found themselves accused of poisoning the community wells, with some sort of powder. They were, the theory went, attempting to spread leprosy to the rest of the population. They weren't doing that, or anything like that, but they were tortured and executed, and the leprosaria, the houses where they lived, were taken over, and all of the goods and moneys belonging to either the lepers or the leprosaria were confiscated. Soon after the lepers started getting decimated (along with foreigners, just cause they were there), the focus moved to the Jews, who were also tortured and executed, the survivors mostly leaving the country. For a while, Southern France had few lepers and few Jews. Anne is really happy that she gets to explain leprosy and tout the Leprosy Museum in Bergen, Norway, and Michell adores the scholar she found who explains why the whole horrible debacle happened. It was money. Follow the money.
