Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is dominating headlines and social media this week with a series of bold artistic moves and major cultural statements. Just days ago, he premiered the music video for “NUEVAYoL,” the lead single from his latest album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, intentionally dropping it on July 4th. This release date was not chosen at random; Bad Bunny's decision reframes American Independence Day through a Puerto Rican and immigrant lens, sparking conversation across the internet. According to Los40, he confirmed the date with a simple “sí” to a fan online, making it clear this was a deliberate act.The “NUEVAYoL” video is already causing waves for its political and cultural impact. Set in New York neighborhoods with deep Puerto Rican roots—like the Bronx and Harlem—the video pays homage to the Nuyorican legacy and features updated references to the classic salsa anthem “Un verano en Nueva York.” But the real headline is its unapologetic pro-immigrant message. About halfway through the video, there's a striking sequence where a Donald Trump impersonation plays over a 1970s-style boombox, with the voice declaring, “I want to apologize to the immigrants in America… this country is nothing without the immigrants. This country is nothing without Mexicans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Colombians, Venezuelans, Cubans.” The visuals reinforce the statement, showing Puerto Rican flags, quinceañera celebrations, and everyday life in New York, ending with the phrase, “Juntos somos más fuertes”—“Together we are stronger.” Outlets like New India Abroad, Harper's Bazaar, and Hits Daily Double agree: this is Bad Bunny's most pointedly political work yet and lands at a time when immigration is hotly debated in the United States, especially with Congress passing new powers for immigration enforcement just days before.Beyond his music video, Bad Bunny is gearing up for a massive summer: his 30-show residency in Puerto Rico, entitled “No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí,” begins July 11 at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot. This residency is both a homecoming and a love letter to his island roots, and according to Travel Noire, all shows are already sold out. He's also announced a global stadium tour for later in the year, with stops across Latin America, Europe, and Asia.Bad Bunny's new album and recent singles are being praised for their deeply personal and socially conscious direction. The album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, explores nostalgia, memory, and the immigrant experience. Rolling Stone and Variety report that Bad Bunny feels an obligation to use his platform to speak out on social and political issues, even if it makes some uncomfortable. He's committed to being a voice for Latinx unity, resilience, and pride, as he told Rolling Stone: “I'm going to talk, and whoever doesn't like it doesn't have to listen to me.”Thank you for tuning in to today's update on all things Bad Bunny.

Cindy is a serial entrepreneur and champion for women's health and wealth. Over her 25+ year career in healthcare, she's built and sold two companies for over $1 billion, including Sprout Pharmaceuticals, where she launched Addyi, the first prescription drug for women's low libido and what many people call the “female Viagra.” She's now the founder of The Pink Ceiling, where she invests in and mentors women-led businesses breaking barriers in health, wellness, and beyond. In this week's episode, Cindy shares the lessons of building billion-dollar companies. She talks about why competence matters more than confidence, and how importance of taking the shot, even when you don't have all the answers. She shares how growing up constantly on the move taught her how to adapt quickly, build relationships, and embrace change — skills that became her foundation in business. She opens up about the emotional toll of entrepreneurship, the power of building a strong team, and why women need to talk more openly about pleasure, power, and money, and so much more.Disclaimer:ADDYI is for premenopausal women with acquired, generalized hypoactive (low) sexual desire disorder who have not had problems with low sexual desire in the past, and who have low sexual desire no matter the type of sexual activity, the situation or the sexual partner. The low sexual desire is troubling to them and is not due to a medical or mental health problem, problems in the relationship or medicine or other drug use. ADDYI is not for use in men or to enhance sexual performance. Your risk of severe low blood pressure and fainting is increased if you drink 1-2 standard alcoholic drinks close in time to your ADDYI dose. Wait at least 2 hours after drinking before taking ADDYI at bedtime. Your risk of severe low blood pressure and fainting is also increased if you take certain prescription, over the counter or herbal medications, or have liver problems. Low blood pressure and fainting can happen when you take ADDYI even if you don't drink alcohol or take other medicines. Do not take if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in ADDYI. Allergic reactions may include hives, itching or trouble breathing. Sleepiness, sometimes serious, can occur. Common side effects include dizziness, nausea, tiredness, difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep and dry mouth.

What if one of the most powerful business minds of our time wasn't a CEO or a founder—and instead, a singer-songwriter who's been redefining her brand strategy since age 13?Today, we're diving into the business brilliance of Taylor Swift — and to help us do it, I'm joined by Kevin Evers, Senior Editor at Harvard Business Review and author of There's Nothing Like This: The Strategic Genius of Taylor Swift.I got to know Kevin because he was the editor of my most recent book, The First Rule of Mastery. He was fantastic and I fell in love with the way he thought and his deep knowledge and reference points of business. Kevin has spent years studying how great leaders express their ideas, and when he told me he was writing a book about Taylor Swift, I knew we had to have him on to discuss what she's built. This conversation is not about her songwriting or her latest mega-tour; it's about how she built a billion-dollar brand using clarity, intense connection, and creative risk-taking. It's about strategy, reinvention, and staying relentlessly close to what lights you up — even when that comes with severe risk. As you listen, use the conversation as a way to reflect on your own relationship with reinvention. Are you playing it safe when boldness is what's required? How do you stay connected to the core of who you are – stay connected to your purpose — even when external success might tempt you to stay small?I hope you enjoy this week's awesome conversation with Kevin Evers.__________________Kevin Evers; Instagram https://www.instagram.com/there_is_nothing_like_this/ and Linked In https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-evers1/Subscribe to our Youtube Channel for more powerful conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and meaning: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!
