In April 2022, two months after Russia invaded Ukraine, a man in his thirties called Victor Muller Ferreira flew into Amsterdam airport using a Brazilian passport. He was identified by the Dutch authorities as Russian national Sergey Vladimirovich Cherkasov and immediately sent back to Brazil, where investigations by both the FBI and the Brazilian police identified him as a Russian intelligence officer. He had been living in Brazil, undercover, for years, with a well-developed personal 'legend', or cover story, that included a passion for Forró, a popular Brazilian partner-dance. Cherkasov is currently serving a five year prison sentence in Brazil for identity fraud, and Russia demands his extradition.Leandro Prazeres of BBC News Brazil - who happens to be a big fan of Forró himself - and BBC Russian's Olga Ivshina unpack the story of this 'fake Brazilian' and explore the history and motivations of Russia's network of so-called 'illegals', or deep cover spies.This episode of The Documentary comes to you from The Fifth Floor, the show at the heart of global storytelling, with BBC journalists from all around the world. Produced by Laura Thomas, Caroline Ferguson and Hannah Dean. (Photo: Irena Taranyuk.)

This is Part One of a three-part deep dive with comics legend Diana Schutz, whose editorial fingerprints are all over modern comics history. From her influential years at Dark Horse to her early work during the Comico era and beyond...We start at the beginning: Diana's first exposure to comics through Supergirl and her love for the clean, expressive style of 1960s comic art. That passion never faded—it evolved. She walks us through the meticulous process of restoring a classic Lois Lane cover, explaining how comics restoration has grown into a serious craft and industry of its own.From there, we explore her current work translating a graphic novel by Brazilian artist Ricardo Leche for a new high-end comics art publisher, and she breaks down the real art of translatio. Why cultural nuance matters, and why having the right English-language voice is essential to preserving tone and intent. We also rewind to the early '80s, when Diana launched The Telegraph Wire, a 32-page bi-monthly comics magazine that began as a retailer newsletter and became a proving ground for her editorial skills. She talks about learning graphic design on the fly, selling ads, interviewing creators, and building something from scratch in a pre-internet comics landscape. It's a vivid look at a smaller, more intimate industry, one where relationships mattered and information wasn't instantly searchable. Along the way, Diana reflects on working at Comics & Comix, getting recruited by Kim Thompson to write for Amazing Heroes, connecting with Matt Wagner, and navigating an industry that had very few women in visible roles at the time. She shares memories of mentors like Trina Robbins, editors like Maggie Thompson and contemproraries like Karen Berger, and even her wild experience serving as Tom Baker's minder at a Chicago Doctor Who convention, complete with behind-the-scenes fandom chaos. This first chapter of our conversation is about origins, craft, and survival in a young comics industry that was still figuring itself out. And it sets the stage for much more to come.

Prosecutors wanted her released. The judge had other plans.Juliana Peres Magalhães, the Brazilian au pair who confessed to helping her lover Brendan Banfield execute a double murder, was sentenced today to 10 years in prison. Judge Penney Azcarate rejected the Commonwealth's plea deal recommendation of time served — a stunning rebuke that extends Magalhães's incarceration by nearly eight years beyond what prosecutors agreed to.The courtroom heard from both families before the sentence came down. Deirdre Fisher spoke about losing her son Joseph Ryan — an innocent man catfished through a fake fetish profile and murdered in what was staged to look like a home invasion gone wrong. The Banfield family addressed the complexity of Juliana's role, acknowledging the manipulation she may have experienced while refusing to excuse her participation in the killings.Magalhães addressed the court directly, stating: "I know my remorse cannot bring you peace. I pray for forgiveness, and I have never forgave myself."Her testimony was crucial to convicting Brendan Banfield of aggravated murder. She detailed the plot, the fake profile, the night of the killings, and the moment she fired the shot that ended Joe Ryan's life. But Judge Azcarate's sentence makes clear that being the star witness doesn't mean avoiding accountability.This ruling raises serious questions about plea agreements and judicial discretion. What does it mean when a judge rejects a prosecutor's recommendation after a defendant has already fulfilled their end of the bargain? And what message does this send to future cooperating witnesses?Today's episode features the complete sentencing audio — every statement, every word from the bench, and the moment the gavel came down.#JulianaMagalhaes #AuPairMurder #BrendanBanfield #TrueCrimeToday #FairfaxCounty #DoubleMurder #Sentencing #JoeRyan #ChristineBanfield #CourtTVJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

We are kicking off another Foreign Film February, or "FFF", which has become a colloquialism at Haus der New World Pictures Podcast.  Is that not the case in your home?  If it isn't, it's time to start.  To kick off the 2026 #FFF, we are talking about 1987's SUBWAY TO THE STARS, a Brazilian drama that, if you looked at the poster, is nowhere close to what you would expect.  SUBWAY TO THE STARS explores a talented saxophonist (Vini) who's girlfriend (Nicinha) disappears after they have sex in an automobile junk yard.  It should be pointed out, they didn't have sex in one of the cars in the junk yard.  They do the nasty on the dirty ground full of oil, antifreeze, and transmission fluid. Given that, it should come as no surprise that Vini goes on a vision quest to find his missing girlfriend.  Unfortunately, because he's a young, attractive musician, he does a pretty shit job of looking for her.  Instead, he finds a menagerie of people to do the searching for him.  Does he find her?  If he does, does she stay with him?  We don't cover this part in the episode, but that's part of our charmIn addition to talking about SUBWAY TO THE STARS, we revisit our pre-production of Steamin' (the remake of 1985's Steaming) and whether it could be considered for Cannes.  We wonder whether Ska is ready to make a musical comeback.  Erica champions the need for more horns (saxophones in particular) in movies and music. Marc makes a claim that there is too much saxophone in George Michael's Careless Whispers.  Ryan talks about a great time at a Thom Yorke concert.  We also talk about SUBWAY TO THE STARS.

When Brendan Banfield frantically called 911 in February 2023 to report a double murder at his million-dollar suburban home in Virginia, it seemed like an extramarital sex game gone wrong.But as police dug deeper, the deaths of Christine Banfield and Joe Ryan – the stranger found beside her – proved even weirder than they once appeared. And all the evidence pointed to a dastardly plot between Brendan and the family's Brazilian nanny, Juliana Peres Magalhães, in a twisted web of infidelity, catfishing, and betrayal…So did this bloodthirsty Bonnie and Clyde duo conspire to commit the grisly killings? With everyone talking about the sensational trial that wrapped up in February 2026, we're diving into one of the most shocking cases we've ever covered. Watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/s4yaGloq8zk--Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus EpisodesYouTube - Full-length Video EpisodesTikTok / InstagramSources and more available on redhandedpodcast.com

Guest: Mary Anastasia O'Grady. O'Grady criticizes Brazilian Justice de Moraes for arbitrary rulings on free speech and transgender laws, alongside corruption allegations involving his wife and a bank.

On the morning of February 24, 2023, police responded to a home in Fairfax County, Virginia. Inside, they found 37 year old Christine Banfield critically injured. A man named Joseph Ryan was already dead, shot by Christine's husband, IRS special agent Brendan Banfield. Brendan told investigators he had interrupted a violent attack and acted in self defense. At first, the explanation appeared straightforward.That narrative quickly began to unravel. Investigators discovered that Brendan had been involved in a secret relationship with the family's live in Brazilian au pair, Juliana Peres Magalhaes. Prosecutors later alleged the pair had planned Christine's killing over several months, using an online account created with Christine's image to lure Joseph Ryan to the home under false pretenses.As the investigation expanded, evidence including phone records, online messages, purchases, and changes made inside the home raised serious doubts about Brendan's account. Juliana eventually accepted a plea agreement and agreed to testify, directly contradicting the self defense claim.In February 2026, a jury found Brendan Banfield guilty on multiple charges, including aggravated murder and child endangerment. The case, now widely known as the Au Pair Murders, stands as one of the most disturbing family betrayal cases in recent years.Follow True Crime Recaps for weekly cases that examine complex investigations and the justice system.

Wagner Moura doesn't compromise when it comes to doing work that feels meaningful and aligned with his values. That much is clear in the politically-charged Brazilian film, "The Secret Agent," for which he's earned a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor. He spoke with Rachel about getting better with age, the sacredness of performing onstage and why he's made seeking joy a priority.To listen sponsor-free and support the show, sign up for Wild Card+ at plus.npr.org/wildcardLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Pope Leo marks World Day of the Sick, observed on the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. Meanwhile, a bishop expresses ‘strong opposition' to a pro-ab*rtion professor's appointment at Notre Dame. And, a Brazilian student faces a potential ten-year prison sentence for “transphobia.”

Synopsis: At the heart of JPM 2026's biotech buzz, Alok Tayi sits down with Fred Aslan, CEO of Artiva, to explore how bold platform bets, scalable cell therapies, and autoimmune breakthroughs could reshape medicine. Fred traces his journey from medical school in Brazil to consulting at BCG, venture capital, and ultimately founding multiple companies—sharing why following curiosity, not rigid career ladders, shaped his path. Fred dives deep into the bottlenecks holding back traditional CAR-T therapies—manufacturing complexity, cost, hospitalization, and toxicity—and explains how Artiva's off-the-shelf NK-cell platform aims to change the paradigm. The discussion explores why rheumatoid arthritis became Artiva's lead indication, how immune “resets” could redefine autoimmune care, and what's ahead in 2026 as the company prepares registrational trials and expands its basket studies across lupus, myositis, scleroderma, and more. The episode closes with rapid-fire takes on AI in drug development, China's accelerating biotech engine, rare disease trial models, and the strategic principles founders should follow when choosing indications and building durable platforms. Biography: Fred Aslan, M.D., has a 20-year track record as an executive and investor in the life sciences industry. He was most recently President and CBO at Vividion Therapeutics, where he was responsible for business development, finance, alliance and project management, and operations.

Dr. Aslan led Venrock's investment in Zeltiq (acquired by Allergan for more than $2 billion) and was involved in the early formation of Fate Therapeutics. Subsequently as an entrepreneur from 2013 to 2018, he was CEO of Adavium Medical, a Brazilian medical device company, which he grew from zero to 350 employees, sales of over US$40 million, and fully integrated R&D, manufacturing, and commercial capabilities. Prior to Venrock, Dr. Aslan was Director of Business Development and Head of Investor Relations for CuraGen, a Nasdaq-listed oncology-focused biotech company. Prior to CuraGen, he was a consultant at Boston Consulting Group (BCG).

In episode #90, we explored one of the most revered albums in Brazilian music history. Recorded live between January 3rd and 6th, 1966, Os Afro-Sambas has endured decades of change and upheaval in Brazil's musical landscape. The unlikely duo behind it—Baden Powell, a 24-year-old virtuoso guitarist of poor Afro-Brazilian origins, and Vinícius de Moraes, 51, celebrated white-diplomat songwriter of Garota de Ipanema and Chega de Saudade—first met in a Rio nightclub in 1961. Widely regarded as the first album to fuse bossa nova's signature instruments—guitar, bass, flute—with Afro-religious rhythms, Os Afro-Sambas was born after Baden traveled to Bahia to conduct extensive research in candomblé temples.Recorded in a basement studio in downtown Rio during a torrential rainstorm, the sessions help explain why Vinícius' vocals sometimes sound notably nasal. Or, according to various legends, perhaps because they reportedly went through more than 2,300 bottles of whisky over those four days of recording. In this episode, we took a deep dive into the album's history, analyzing its lyrics, music, and the context of its creation, including audio excerpts from interviews and documentaries.Among the videos I have shared in this episode:Baden Powell plays on the TV show Ensaio - TV Cultura (1967) Baden Powell plays "Tempo de Amor" for Saravah documentaryBaden & Vinícius play Berimbau/Canto de Ossanha (1979)Follow our updated playlist on Spotify: "⁠Soundtrack: Brazuca Sounds⁠". Every song we've ever playedon the show!

On this week's episode of The Joy of Football, Martin Tyler and Neil Barnett take on some of the game's biggest current talking points, with a particular focus on form, trends, and how football is evolving in front of our eyes. The conversation begins with “We Need To Talk About”, as the guys dig into the modern Brazilian centre-forward. From Richarlison and Gabriel Jesus to João Pedro and Igor Jesus, the guys discuss why Brazil's production line of number nines, and who could get a shot at the World Cup. In Three of the Best, Martin and Neil each pick their standout players across generations. There's praise for emerging talents like Dango Ouattara and Mateus Mané, reflection on influential figures such as Steve Holland and Siniša Mihajlović, and appreciation for current players including Ismaïla Sarr and Angel Gomes. Martin then delivers another Letter From The Gantry, this week centred on hat-tricks (and a time when Martin saw 3 in one go) - what makes them special, how they feel from the commentary box, and why certain moments stay with you long after the final whistle. And the episode closes with Voice of Passion, where the discussion turns to whether changes in the game are really for the good of football. From Manchester City's disallowed goal to extended drinks breaks, Martin and Neil question where the balance lies between tradition, fairness, and entertainment. As ever, it's a thoughtful, experience-led look at football — past, present, and where it might be heading next. #ad Find out more about St James Place here! https://www.sjp.co.uk Join Neil Barnett (former Chelsea touch-liner announcer and football journalist) alongside the voice of the Premier League, Martin Tyler in celebrating the greatest addiction in the World!  Hosted by The Revive Lounge Ltd  UCsdye1hUxP4xhgBx9zvuSjg Subscribe to https://youtube.com/@TheReviveLounge?si=L5ddzrJrtSmErtJ5  Support the Pod https://patreon.com/TheJoysofFootballPodcast?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink Read us on  Substack https://martintylerandneilbarnett.substack.com/  Follow our Twitter https://x.com/TheJOF  Follow our Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@joy_of_football_pod?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc  Follow our Instagram https://https://www.instagram.com/joy_of_football_pod/  Contact us via: therevivelounge@gmail.com  Music by Arron Clague - https://www.instagram.com/arronclague?igsh=aHg1bjQ3OHpmaXIz  Intro Sequence by Wellong Sadewo (wells.illustration): https://www.instagram.com/wells.illustration/  For incredible football artwork, check out: https://linktr.ee/marclobodaart  A massive thank you to our Patreon Supporters:  Nick Parmenter  Hillary Abbott  Daniel Butigan  Tommy Mck  Katie Watson  Benjamin Fairclough  Nathan A Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textIn this powerful episode of The FORGE Truth Podcast, Pete Alwinson and Jayson Quiñones sit down with former UFC fighter and Brazilian jiu jitsu instructor Rolles Gracie, Jr. for a wide ranging conversation about discipline, identity, and faith. Rolles shares his journey of growing up in the legendary Gracie jiu jitsu family, competing at the highest levels of combat sports, and eventually discovering that victory and success still left something missing. He opens up about how he came to faith in Christ, how that transformed his understanding of strength and submission, and why discipline of the body and discipline of the soul are deeply connected. This episode challenges men to rethink what it means to be strong, to live on mission, and to discipline themselves for the purpose of godliness.

In this episode, I have the absolute pleasure of stepping inside the Los Angeles home of designer Sean Leffers—someone whose work I admire for its depth, sensitivity, and extraordinary sense of narrative. From the moment we walk through the door, it's clear that Sean doesn't decorate; he curates a life. His rooms are layered with art, antiques, travel finds, spiritual references, and handmade pieces that carry memory and lineage.As we tour, Sean shares the stories behind Japanese metalwork born from peacetime, Brazilian and Sri Lankan furniture, colonial Peruvian carving, block-printed textiles from India, and contemporary works by artists he loves and champions. We talk about how culture travels, how objects evolve across borders, and why the blurred line between art and craft makes a home feel human.Most of all, this episode is about connection. Each vignette becomes an invitation—to ask questions, to linger, to see more.  If you want a home that feels personal, soulful, and deeply lived in, this conversation is full of inspiration.Download the free guide to Define Your Signature StyleBuy the book, "Slow Style Home"Learn more at our website Want to finally define your style?

Welcome to a time-travel podcast diving into football's greatest almost moments — the transfers that came within touching distance of reality, Richie McCormack's Sliding Doors.Sliding Doors goes beyond rumours and gossip to uncover deals that were genuinely on the tableEach episode explores how one decision could have reshaped clubs, careers, and the entire football landscapeFrom whispered negotiations to official bids, this is the anatomy of football's biggest “what ifs”Think Michael Laudrup to Liverpool, Robert Lewandowski to Blackburn… and yes, Ronaldo to RangersThis episode takes us back to 1964, newly promoted Hannover 96 came astonishingly close to signing Pelé — the greatest player the game has ever seen — for the infant Bundesliga.As club legend Friedel Schicks moved toward retirement, a replacement was quietly discussed that sounded almost unbelievable: Pelé was supposed to succeed him at the heart of Hannover's team.The man pushing the idea wasn't a scout or an agent, but board member Hans-David Ziegra — an ice-cream machine salesman with strong Brazilian connections and a past far darker than most in German football.Ziegra's history included Nazi Party membership, intelligence work across Europe, post-war CIA scrutiny, and decades-long ties to Brazil, all of which helped fuel the extraordinary attempt to lure Pelé to Germany.Hannover could afford the move — Bundesliga wages soon eclipsed what Pelé earned at Santos — but Pelé's status as a national treasure made any transfer politically and culturally explosive.With Brazil under military rule in 1964, Pelé chose to stay, later admitting talks with Hannover had taken place but that leaving Santos at such a volatile moment was never realistic.Pelé never played in the Bundesliga, and German football went another way — but this forgotten near-miss invites one tantalising question: how differently might football history look if the greatest player of all time had arrived in Germany at the dawn of the Bundesliga?Become a member and sign up at offtheball.com/join

Interview with Michael Hodgson, CEO of Serabi Gold PLCOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/serabi-gold-lsesrb-300-share-price-surge-underscores-brazil-focused-growth-strategy-7926Recording date: 5th February 2026Serabi Gold (LSE: SRB) has positioned itself as one of the sector's standout performers following a transformative 2025, with CEO Mike Ojenir outlining an ambitious yet fully-funded growth strategy in a recent investor update. The Brazilian-focused gold producer delivered record production of 44,000 ounces while growing cash reserves from $20 million to $54 million, despite investing $12 million in exploration—a testament to the company's exceptional cash generation capabilities.For 2026, Serabi has set guidance of 54,000-57,000 ounces, representing up to 30% growth, with longer-term targets of 70,000-80,000 ounces by 2027-2028 and potential to approach 100,000 ounces thereafter. This expansion roadmap is underpinned by the installation of a fourth ball mill at the Palito processing plant, scheduled for Q3 2026, and the probable restart of the previously shuttered Sao Chico mine, which has become economically viable at current gold prices above $4,000 per ounce.What distinguishes Serabi's growth story is its remarkable cost discipline and financial self-sufficiency. With 65% of costs derived from regulated inputs—including labor governed by predictable union agreements and government-subsidized diesel—the company maintains flat operating costs while capturing full margin expansion from elevated gold prices. Quarterly profits have surged from $6 million to a projected $13-14 million, enabling Serabi to fund all capital expenditures from cash flow without equity dilution or debt.The company has also committed to returning approximately 25% of 2025 free cash flow to shareholders through dividends or buybacks, balancing growth investment with shareholder returns. Meanwhile, a $24 million two-year exploration program aims to grow resources from 1 million to 1.6 million ounces, providing the foundation for sustainable production scaling.With permitting progress expected at the flagship Coringa project in 2026 and a debt-free balance sheet, Serabi exemplifies how established producers in stable jurisdictions can leverage operational excellence and favorable commodity prices to deliver compelling shareholder value without the execution risks of transformational M&A.View Serabi Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/serabi-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Futures markets are seeing little movement, with minor adjustments expected in the upcoming WASDE report. South American production, particularly Brazilian soybean sales, is slow, affecting export potential. Speculators increased bullish bets on soybeans and reduced net short positions in corn and wheat. The JBS plant strike and tariff reduction on Argentine beef may impact the market psychologically. Dry conditions in the U.S. southern plains and Nebraska pose fire risks.

The Brazilian party starter unveils 60 minutes of sun-drenched house. Minas Gerais isn't the typical Brazil of postcards. Yet from this landlocked terrain emerged one of its most accomplished sons. As OMOLOKO, João Vitor has mastered the art of summoning summer on the dance floor. Armed with a pair of CDJs and a USB, he carries sun-kissed house dreams shaped by countless hours lost in Discogs rabbit holes, forgotten corners of YouTube and the dust of hidden record shops. Vitor was born in Rio Grande do Norte, in Brazil's northeast, before moving south as a child when his family set out in search of new opportunities—a well-worn path in the world's fifth-largest country. Adopting the alias OMOLOKO in the late 2010s, he quickly became a beacon in Belo Horizonte's bubbling electronic scene. Carrying sounds from home deep in his memory alongside a restless desire to make the world dance to his own findings, he carved out a singular voice with genre-hopping sets, grounded in an affection for infectious grooves and warm, rolling kicks. In recent years, Vitor's fine-tuning of his craft behind the decks have made him more than a familiar face at countless essential nightlife hubs around the world, from Panorama Bar to Dekmantel, São Paulo's Gop Tun to Ibiza's DC-10. His résumé, already impressive, is expanding nicely. So to mark the beginning of carnaval in Brazil, who better for RA.1025. Vitor's RA Mix draws deeply from the lineage of house's most celebrated names, alongside obscure gems your Shazam wouldn't dare recognise. With slow-cooking patience, the session follows wherever the language of dance leads: South African kwaito, diva vocal flashes, funk-laced deep house, vibraphone-led strides and salsa-laced drumwork. It's like a dream team of house offshoots, all meeting for the very first time at the beach. Read more at https://ra.co/podcast/1044 @OMOLOKOO

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for February 7, 2026 is: imbue • im-BYOO • verb Imbue has two common meanings: "to permeate or influence as if by dyeing" and "to provide with something freely or naturally." In the second use it is usually used with with. // A deep sense of history imbues the artist's work. // The children were imbued with a passion for nature by their parents, both biologists. See the entry > Examples: "Aged cachaça, like fine whiskey, derives its complexity from the barrels it's matured in. There are dozens of different Brazilian woods cachaça can be aged in, and each imbues the spirit with its distinct flavor, resulting in varieties that are more floral or herbal, nutty or woody, savory or spiced." — Rebekah Peppler, The New York Times, 5 Dec. 2025 Did you know? Like its synonym infuse, imbue implies the introduction of one thing into another so as to affect it throughout. Someone's voice can be imbued with pride, for example, or a photograph might be imbued with a sense of melancholy. In the past imbue was also used synonymously with imbrue, an obscure word meaning "to drench or stain," but the two words are likely unrelated. Imbue comes from the Latin verb imbuere, meaning "to dye, wet, or moisten," while imbrue has been traced back through Anglo-French and Old French to the Latin verb bibere, meaning "to drink."

Host Ricky Sacks is joined by Broadcaster Russ Williams, Vass Koni and Marlon as playing for over an hour with 10 men proved too much of an uphill task at Old Trafford as we suffered a 2-0 defeat to Manchester United on Saturday lunchtime. Having started well, we found ourselves on the back foot after captain Cristian Romero was shown a straight red card for his 29th-minute challenge on Casemiro and the Red Devils duly took advantage to register their first win against us in nine attempts. Bryan Mbeumo slid home following a short corner routine seven minutes before half-time, but we stayed very much in the game – thanks in part to a string of fine saves from Guglielmo Vicario – and it was only a late goal from Bruno Fernandes that finally killed us off. The second period also saw the debut of Souza, signed last month from Brazilian side Santos, following an injury to Destiny Udogie at left-back. We discuss the actions of Romero and whether he has lost all the goodwill he gained during the week from Spurs fans, we question if Spurs are in a relegation battle and if so whether Thomas Frank can steer us out of it.

In our first edition of Meet the Founders, we meet Luana Lopes Lara, creator of Kalshi, a prediction markets startup that allows users to trade on the outcome of real-world events - from inflation and interest rates to elections and geopolitics.Kalshi drew attention for showing Zohran Mamdani as a favourite in the NYC mayoral race, as prediction markets gain traction as political barometers. But the wider industry has also faced scrutiny: a trader on rival platform Polymarket reportedly made nearly half a million dollars betting on the capture of Venezuela's former president Nicolás Maduro before it was announced. The controversy around prediction markets has placed Lopes Lara and her company at the centre of a growing regulatory and ethical debate in the US. In this episode, the Brazilian founder explains how the discipline and resilience of ballet has shaped her approach to building a business, and why she believes markets can often forecast the future better than experts.If you'd like to get in touch with the team, our email address is businessdaily@bbc.co.ukPresenter: Sam Fenwick Producer: Amber Mehmood Sound mix: Toby JamesBusiness Daily is the home of in-depth audio journalism devoted to the world of money and work.
