Convidado: José Roberto Afonso, economista, professor do IDP e da Universidade de Lisboa e sócio fundador da consultoria Finance. Na largada da corrida eleitoral, os candidatos à Presidência colocam o Orçamento no topo da lista de pautas em debate até a chegada das urnas, em outubro. No centro desta questão está o endividamento do Estado brasileiro: a dívida pública do país disparou na última década, saltando de 66% do PIB em 2016 para 82% do PIB neste ano – e o Fundo Monetário Internacional (FMI) aponta o risco de que em breve o passivo brasileiro ultrapasse os 100% do Produto Interno Bruto. O quadro de juros altos agrava a preocupação com as contas brasileiras para o futuro. Neste episódio, Natuza Nery entrevista José Roberto Afonso, economista que coordenou a equipe que criou a Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal, em 2000. José Roberto realizou um levantamento sobre o quadro fiscal brasileiro dos últimos 25 anos e mapeou como a composição do Orçamento foi modificada ao longo deste período. Ele também analisa o quadro atual da economia brasileira e sugere quais caminhos podemos seguir.

Episode 2146: Jenny Lee pushes back on the idea that a mindful life means never working hard. She shares how years of relentless side hustling, and then a serious health crisis and a long recovery, completely changed her relationship with work. Today she argues that big goals and real work-life balance can coexist, as long as the work does not bulldoze health, relationships, and the people who matter most. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.hellobrio.com/blog/hard-work Quotes to ponder: "We are not what we produce." "Even though our hard work does not define us, it's still okay to have big goals and to work hard. Just don't let those dreams bulldoze what really matters." "Mindfulness is an emotional minimalism: focus on what matters most to you and say no to the rest." Optimal Work Daily is a daily career advice podcast where we narrate the best articles on productivity, entrepreneurship, and work-life balance, read to you by a professional narrator so you can grow your career a little more every day.

Viver é isso: um eterno desequilíbrio tentando se equilibrar.Neste episódio do Nove Luas, colocamos em xeque uma confusão comum: equilíbrio não é sinônimo de harmonia. Não é sobre ficar parado, imóvel, como se existisse uma estabilidade perfeita a ser alcançada. Equilíbrio é a arte de permanecer de pé enquanto o mundo insiste em nos empurrar de um lado para o outro.Conversamos sobre o que significa não deixar o caos externo determinar completamente o nosso estado interno — e por que esse tipo de equilíbrio é, talvez, um dos exercícios mais difíceis (e mais necessários) da vida adulta.Dá o play e vem se equilibrar com a gente!Mara Guimarães: @maraguimaraespsiMarcos Galvão: @galvao.smgJúlio César: @juliocsousa

Líderes reativos não são produtivos. São reféns.A McKinsey identificou que a maioria dos gestores passa menos de um terço do tempo em atividades que realmente criam valor. O restante vai para urgências, reuniões e problemas que, na maioria das vezes, poderiam ter sido evitados com planejamento.O que ninguém te conta: você foi treinado para isso.Anos sendo elogiado por apagar incêndios ensinam o cérebro que urgência = relevância. E quando urgência vira identidade, o longo prazo nunca chega.O líder que não equilibra metas de curto e longo prazo não tem problema de agenda. Tem problema de posicionamento.No episódio de hoje do Papo de Líder, mostro como sair da armadilha da reatividade e construir uma semana que seja ao mesmo tempo eficiente no presente e construtora de futuro.Porque ocupado e produtivo não são sinônimos. E confundir os dois é o caminho mais curto para uma carreira de médio impacto.É SOBRE ISSO O PAPO DE LÍDER 1021 !

Stefan Lampinen är en av de mest prominenta figurerna i svensk spelhistoria. Arbetsplatser som Electronic Arts, Nokia, Microsoft och Warner Bros har avlöst varandra – men det kanske största avtrycket gjorde han som spelexpert på BRIO när Sega utmanade Nintendo om tronen under tidigt 90-tal. Häng med när vi gräver ner oss i Stefans förflutna och hans nyskrivna bok Bakom Kulisserna.

Pianist Stephen Siek served as a professor of music at Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio, where he taught piano, music history, American music, the aesthetics of music, and film music. He is currently Director of the Emeritus College Academy for Continued Learning at Arizona State University. He has performed and lectured at piano conferences for organizations such as the Historical Keyboard Society of America and the American Liszt Society. Siek is a specialist in the keyboard music of the Federalist Era American composer Alexander Reinagle. Reinagle was born in Edinburgh and immigrated to America in 1786, first briefly to New York before settling in Philadelphia and later Baltimore, where he died in 1809. He quickly became an important figure in the musical life of Philadelphia, where he performed at the 1787 Constitutional Convention and attracted the attention of George Washington. Siek will visit the Bay Area to perform the music of this little-known early American on Monday, July 20, 2026, the 240th anniversary of Reinagle's first performance in the United States, at Littlefield Concert Hall at Mills College at Northeastern University in Oakland. Siek joins the podcast to talk about the life and work of this underrecognized American composer.Music: Sonata in D I. Allegro con Brio, Sonata in E II.

In this episode, David and Jocelyn talk about shifting into summer “running season” after the Open and quarterfinals, why CrossFit training changes with the seasons, and how BRIO keeps things fun and even a bit addictive.We dig more into the results of our experiment with daily WOD posts in order to reduce cherry picking, increase daily engagement, and support consistent attendance.We also go deep on a common comment from new members: "I don't want to hurt myself." A point so obvious it doesn't even need to be stated out loud. And yet..... it gets said up front to us a LOT. So what does a new member actually mean when they feel the need to say this? Do we reduce the risk of injury by avoiding going fast and lifting heavy? Or is that how we just avoid getting FIT? How do the professionals say we should actually reduce our risk of injury?02:24 Running Season Reality Check05:55 We do fitness to have fun11:48 Cherry Picking Explained26:29 Newbies Fear Of Injury28:52 Avoiding Effort Avoids Fitness30:35 How to actually avoid injury41:13 Overscaling And Excess Volume44:01 Acceptable Risk And Real Life49:56 We train for life

"I'm bored" — two words every parent hears within days of summer break starting. Jesse Florea, editor-in-chief of Focus on the Family's magazines, joins Brian From to talk about why kids today struggle with boredom more than previous generations (hint: it's largely about how screens train the brain to crave constant stimulation), and what parents can actually do about it. Jesse shares Focus on the Family's summer challenge encouraging kids to serve others — five acts of service, memorizing scripture, donating outgrown clothes and toys, writing encouragement cards — and makes the case that some boredom is healthy, even necessary, for kids to develop problem-solving skills. He and Brian also dig into why neighborhood free play has all but disappeared, the role of technology in isolating families even when they're together, and why VBS, sports camps, and structured social time matter more now that "go outside and play" doesn't really work the way it used to. Jesse closes with a simple, practical tip: be like Jesus, and ask your bored kid good questions instead of just handing them a screen.

What if confidence is not the absence of doubt? In this deeply honest conversation, violinist Robert Sanders shares what changed internally as he navigated auditions, pressure, comparison, and eventually won a full time position with the Bruckner Orchestra Linz. This episode is not about becoming fearless. It's about learning how to stop fighting yourself so aggressively underneath the pressure. In this episode: • Why self doubt does not disappear even at a high level • How Robert shifted from battling doubt to "dancing" with it • The surprising mindset shift that changed his audition experience • Why learning to work with yourself changes everything under pressure If you're ready to step on stage with confidence, perform at your best, and finally feel secure in your playing, let's talk!

You know that feeling when you walk off stage thinking, "I can play so much better than this"? In this episode, I unpack three powerful patterns I saw during the Musicians Edge Challenge with more than 300 musicians and why so many performers lose access to themselves under pressure even when they've prepared brilliantly. In this episode: • Why your best playing can feel impossible to recreate on demand • What really happens when a different version of you shows up on stage • Why many musicians keep trying to solve the wrong problem If you're ready to close the gap between how you play in the practice room and who you become under pressure, the Music Mastery Experience is open for enrollment now. Inside MME, we work on performance preparation, self trust, mindset, nervous system regulation, and the hidden patterns that shape your performances. Enrollment closes May 20 and we begin June 1.

Marie-Michel Beauparlant is an accomplished cellist, a mom of twins, and one of the most honest guests we've had on the show. She talks about the years she spent hiding behind section playing because solo performing felt impossible, the guilt of chasing an audition with six-month-old twins at home, and what it actually took to go from dreading the spotlight to being, as she puts it herself, a little addicted to it. This is a real conversation about the inner life of a working musician — and it will stay with you. In this episode you will discover: Why perfectionism and stage fright so often go hand in hand and what Marie-Michel did to start untangling them How she went from barely advancing in auditions to winning two orchestra positions and making finals consistently The mindset shift that led her to remove the word failure from her vocabulary entirely How finding a community of musicians facing similar challenges made her feel less alone and normalized the struggles she had been carrying quietly for years The simple question she asks herself before every practice session that keeps her grounded and motivated What winning really looks like when you stop making it only about the outcome   Want to experience this kind of transformation in your own musical life?

You know that feeling when you nail a passage in rehearsal, and then the harder you try to repeat it, the faster it falls apart? In this solo episode, Dr. Renée-Paule reveals why the desire to play well is often the very thing getting in your way. This one hits close to home for any musician who has ever spiraled mid-performance wondering why their preparation suddenly feels like it vanished. ·         The reason a passage that felt effortless on the first attempt can completely unravel by the third, and why it has nothing to do with your technique. ·         How monitoring your own performance in real time activates the wrong part of your brain and turns you into a spectator of your own playing. ·         Why high expectations belong in the practice room and become an obstacle the moment you walk on stage. ·         A simple 60-second ritual to do right before you perform that shifts your entire relationship with the moment.   Are you ready to take your playing and career to the next level and create a life that feels purposeful and joyful?

You've prepared the excerpts. You've done the mock auditions. You've done everything right — and something still slips when it matters most. In this episode, Dr. Renée-Paule Gauthier gets to the heart of what's actually separating the players who walk off feeling like themselves from the ones who walk off wondering what just happened. The answer isn't what you think — and it's more within your reach than you realize. In this episode: ·         Why the problem is almost never the excerpts ·         The difference between preparing your excerpts and preparing yourself ·         What attentional narrowing does to your musicality under pressure ·         The one question that begins to change everything   Are you ready to take your playing and career to the next level and create a life that feels purposeful and joyful?

You practiced it a thousand times. You knew it cold. And then you walked on stage and something vanished. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you. Renee breaks down one of the most frustrating and misunderstood experiences in a musician's life: the gap between how you play in the practice room and how you play under pressure. More importantly, she explains exactly why it happens and why practicing more is often not the answer. In this episode: ·         Why the practice room and the stage are literally different brain states, and what that means for how you prepare ·         The Yerkes-Dodson law and what it reveals about pressure, performance, and the sweet spot most musicians blow right past ·         Why cortisol is not your enemy but why it makes you blank on passages you know perfectly well ·         The concept of context-dependent memory and why your hard-earned skills can feel strangely out of reach the moment the context changes ·         The question most musicians never ask after a disappointing performance, and why asking the wrong one keeps the gap firmly in place ·         A simple but powerful reflection to try before your next practice session that begins to close the gap for good Are you ready to take your playing and career to the next level and create a life that feels purposeful and joyful?

This episode gets right to the heart of that frustration and offers a way out.   In this episode: ·         Why repetition without intention reinforces the problem, not the solution ·         The real difference between practicing notes and practicing performance ·         How the inner critic silently derails your practice session ·         The one thing to write down before you pick up your instrument Are you ready to take your playing and career to the next level and create a life that feels purposeful and joyful?

If you've ever felt your body work against you in a performance, if tension, fear, or a loss of control has crept into your playing and you don't know why, and if you've wondered whether it can actually get better, this episode is for you. Gabriel Radford, Third Horn of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, was diagnosed with focal dystonia at the height of his career. He came back playing better than before, and co-founded the Embouchure Project to help other musicians do the same. This conversation is honest, practical, and full of things musicians rarely hear spoken out loud. What you'll take away: ·         Why fear can show up long before a playing problem becomes visible, and what that early signal means ·         What neuroscience tells us about why the body stops cooperating, and how to reverse it ·         Why rigid practice routines may be working against you ·         The one daily habit that can rewire your relationship with your instrument ·         What the Embouchure Project is ·         And much more!

You walk out of a rehearsal replaying every mistake. You sit down to practice and the voice in your head says, it should be better by now. You open Instagram and somehow everyone else seems more confident, more established, further along. This episode is for that moment. Renée shares a short, honest pep talk for musicians navigating doubt and the uncomfortable gap between where they are and where they wish they were. What you'll take away: ·         Why accepting where you are is not the same as giving up and how that distinction changes everything about how you move forward ·         The arrival fallacy: why telling yourself "I'll feel better when I reach that level" is a trap that keeps postponing your peace indefinitely ·         A simple gratitude practice for when doubt shows up mid-practice not as a feel-good exercise, but as a way to literally retrain your brain's attention ·         How to receive difficult feelings without sinking into them, using the same returning-to-breath logic you already know from practice ·         Why the doubts will come back even after a good day and why that means nothing is broken ·         The one question worth asking yourself when your mind starts to spiral: what will I do with this next precious minute?   If you're ready to step on stage with confidence, perform at your best, and finally feel secure in your playing, let's talk!

Concertmaster Juliana Athayde shares the mindset shifts and life choices that shaped her career, from betting on herself early on to leading an orchestra and building a full life beyond the practice room. In this conversation, we explore: • The leap of faith that led her to turn down a dream job and invest in herself • What great orchestral leadership actually looks like beyond playing well • Why "perfect or disaster" thinking traps so many musicians • The powerful idea that performance needs no rear view mirror • How audition panels are often rooting for you more than you think • The difference between practicing mindfully and "punching the time card" in the practice room • Why recording yourself and actually listening can transform your progress • How motherhood reshaped her priorities, practice efficiency, and perspective • Why a richer life outside music ultimately deepens your artistry • The simple but powerful question that can change everything: What if things went right? A thoughtful conversation about leadership, performance, growth, and choosing the bigger life in music.   If you're ready to step on stage with confidence, perform at your best, and finally feel secure in your playing, let's talk!

When your heart is racing and your brain starts whispering "don't mess this up," it's easy to think the goal is to shut the thoughts down. But that fight is often the thing that turns normal pre performance activation into full anxiety. In this short episode, I borrow the first rule of improv, "Yes, and," and show you how to use it as a musician. Not to become fearless, but to stay in the music even when doubt is in the room. In this episode, you'll hear: ·         The difference between normal activation and anxiety, and how the "second layer" of thoughts creates the spiral ·         Why denial and forcing yourself to "stop thinking" usually backfire right before performance ·         How to use "Yes, and" as validation, so your nervous system feels supported instead of bullied ·         Real scripts for the moments musicians actually struggle with, feeling behind in practice, tight in the warmup room, or rattled by a mistake on stage ·         A one minute breath reset you can do anywhere, 4 count inhale, 6 count exhale, paired with "Yes" and "And" ·         A simple challenge for today, catch one scary thought, validate it, and keep going   If you're ready to step on stage with confidence, perform at your best, and finally feel secure in your playing, let's talk!

When the world feels heavy and your body is bracing, it is weirdly easy to start treating music like it has to justify itself. You practice anyway. You show up anyway. But inside, you are carrying pressure, tension, and that quiet question most musicians do not say out loud: how do I keep doing this without burning out or breaking down? In Episode 250, I sit down with Dr. Brianne Borden and Claire Howard, co-owners of Yoga for All Musicians, for a conversation that is equal parts grounding, honest, and immediately useful. ·         Why "just focus on the music" is not always possible, and what to do when the world follows you into the practice room ·         The simple check in skill most musicians never learn, and why it changes everything from practice choices to injury prevention ·         How classical music culture trains disconnection, and what trauma informed teaching and cueing can actually feel like ·         A reframing of expectations that sounds small, but hits hard once you try it in real life ·         A short centering plus neck and shoulder reset you can do before you play, especially if you live in jaw and shoulder tension If you're ready to step on stage with confidence, perform at your best, and finally feel secure in your playing, let's talk!

In this episode, we unpack how unrealistic expectations quietly overload your brain, tighten your body, and slow your progress. And more importantly, how to reset them so they actually work for you. You'll learn: • Why high standards are not the problem but misaligned expectations are • How pressure and perfectionism interfere with learning • A simple expectation audit you can use before practice or performance • How to shift from "I should" to "What can I do today?" • A powerful on stage reframe that turns anxiety into expression If you've been pushing hard but not feeling better, this one will help you breathe, refocus, and move forward with clarity.   If you're ready to step on stage with confidence, perform at your best, and finally feel secure in your playing, let's talk!
