Recorded: February 6th, 2024 | On this episode of Best of the Bus, the Boys were joined by NFL Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk. The guys talked about his journey to the league and the moment he knew he was destined for the NFL — a wild story in itself. Marshall opened up about his reaction to being traded to the Rams and what it was like playing alongside Peyton Manning and Kurt Warner during two different eras of greatness. They also dove into what it felt like to win a Super Bowl, the emotions behind his Hall of Fame induction, and the mindset that made him one of the greatest to ever play the game. Marshall is a true legend, and hearing him reflect on his time in the league is as insightful as it is inspiring. Big hugs, tiny kisses.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the War of Art by Steven Pressfield, he talks about how we feel the strongest resistance when the task is the most meaningful to our soul's evolution. This shows up as different things like procrastination, fear, doubt, and excuses. This can be both a blessing and a curse. The curse is it's so hard to make ourselves do the things we want to do when resistance is so strong. The blessing is the resistance can help identify the things you should be focused on. There are many ways to overcome, but that doesn't make it easy. One thing he talks about is shifting your mindset from amateur to professional. An amateur will stack all kinds of reasons to not do the tasks. A professional gets it done no matter what. This is one of my favorite quotes from the book: "How many pages have I produced? I don't care. Are they any good? I don't even think about it. All that matters is I've put in my time and hit it with all I've got. All that counts is that, for this day, for this session, I have overcome Resistance." Professionals get the work done regardless of how strong the resistance is. — Bus
In this quick, yet critical episode, Tammy J. Bond tackles a fundamental leadership challenge: ensuring you have the right people in the right seats on your organizational "bus". Prompted by a leader struggling with under-delivery (not under-performance), Tammy challenges the common impulse to start with people. Instead, she provides a strategic framework to audit your organization, starting with the needs of the business before assessing the talent you have. This episode is imperative for leaders planning their success for the upcoming year and looking to replace disfunction with intentional structure. Key Leadership Insights: The Performance Gap: If team members are doing "solid work" but lacking creativity or "anything extra," the problem likely isn't the person's effort—it's the position's fit or a lack of clarity from the leader. The Strategic Bus Audit: Don't start with the Who (people). Start with the What (the seats/positions needed) to achieve your goals. What: Define the positions, expectations, and goals required for the next level of growth. How: Determine the model or required competencies for success in those seats. Who: Then look at your team members to see who possesses the qualities and qualifications to fill the defined seats. Hope is Not a Strategy: Relying on the hope that someone will "figure it out" or move on is like "throwing a dart blindfolded." Action is required to align people with position expectations. Beyond the Resume: Many leaders hire based on the resume, not the heart or true organizational need. Hiring for impressive qualifications without clearly defining the position leads to mismatched talent. Actionable Tools & Strategic Questions: Audit Your Team's Energy: Use the Working Genius Model (by Patrick Lencioni), or similar tools, to discover what parts of the job give your team members energy versus what leaves them feeling frustrated. Align their roles to maximize energy and momentum. Know Their Place on the Bus: Ask your team members what they want more of, what they want less of, and what truly lights them up about their job. The Avoidance Trap: If you're avoiding the conversation, you're wearing the avoidant behavior hat. You must have the conversation to clarify how the individual can win at their current position. Leader, lead yourself well first. Get your expectations clear. Be intentional about taking your organizational "bus" apart and putting it back together based on the needs of the growth model, not the people you currently have. You might discover your bus should become a spaceship! (Discover Derek Gorse's artwork - spaceman art reference from episode) What other bold conversations would you like to know how to navigate?

Im Jahr 1942 erklären die NS-Besatzer Serbien für "judenfrei". Es ist der Ausgangspunkt des Romans von Marko Dinic. Er erzählt aus acht verschiedenen Perspektiven, auch aus der eines Hundes mit einem Halsband mit hebräischen Schriftzeichen um den Hals. Der letzte Jude Belgrads Isak Ras stolpert durch die Stadt, auf der Suche nach seiner Mutter. Wir begegnen einem Kollaborateur, einem Anarchistenpaar, einem jungen Rom, der zum Partisanen wird und in den 1990er Jahren einem Milizionär, der im Bosnienkrieg auf ein Buch schießt, das er für ein muslimisches hält. Zemun, heute Stadtteil von Belgrad, war einst auch Keimzelle des Zionismus – die Familie des Zionisten Theodor Herzl gehörte der jüdischen Gemeinde dort an. Über den Donauraum als Raum der Gewalt, die Shoa in Serbien, die politische Aufgabe des Schriftstellers, literarische Traditionen und die Vielfalt der "Donauliteratur" hat sich Stephan Ozsváth mit Marko Dinic an seinem Schreibort unterhalten, der Wiener Rathausbibliothek. Das Buch Marko Dinic: "Das Buch der Gesichter". Zsolnay-Verlag. 464 Seiten, 28,00 Euro. Stephan Ozsváth empfiehlt Henrik Szántó: "Treppe aus Papier". Blessing. 224 Seiten, 23,00 Euro. Marko Dinic empfiehlt Ronya Othmann: "Rückkehr nach Syrien". Rowohlt. 192 Seiten, 22 Euro. Der Ort Wiener Rathausbibliothek Der Autor Marko Dinic wurde 1988 in Wien geboren, er wuchs in Belgrad auf. In Salzburg studierte der Autor mit serbischem Pass Germanistik und Jüdische Kulturgeschichte. Sein Debütroman "Die guten Tage" erzählt vom "Gastarbeiter-Express", einem Bus, der zwischen Wien und Belgrad verkehrt und der Verlorenheit der jungen serbischen Generation. Das "Buch der Gesichter" stand auf der Longlist für den Deutschen Buchpreis 2025.

"Keine Weiber in den ersten Reihen" - das steht unter anderem auf Flyer, die am Sonntag im Stadion an der Hafenstraße verteilt wurden. Viele RWE-Fans regen sich deswegen gerade richtig auf. Auch der Verein hat sich geäußert. Am Montagnachmittag stand außerdem ein Bus komplett in Flammen und schon am Wochenende hat es zwei Raubüberfälle in Essen gegeben. Bei einem war eine Axt im Spiel.
Plataforma não é tela. É capacidade que libera novos negócios. No iFood, APIs viram peças de Lego para lançar produtos em dias. IA entra como infraestrutura de eficiência, com guardrails e revisão humana. PM de plataforma conecta domínios, dados e estratégia.O que você vai aprender: domínios bem definidos, ownership de dados, como medir impacto sem métrica de vaidade, limites práticos da automação, uso de agentes em dev, produto e vendas, e por que o PM de plataforma virou crítico no Brasil.Convidado: Diogo Ramos - Senior Software Engineering Manager no iFoodLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/diogo-ramos-4624a725/Principais aprendizados:- Plataforma é capacidade, não jornada. Construa módulos genéricos que sirvam múltiplos produtos e BUs.- Comece por domínios bem definidos. Dados com ownership claro evitam duplicidade e garantem consistência.- Pense em Lego de APIs. Se um hackathon não consegue criar vários produtos só plugando APIs, falta maturidade de plataforma.- Evolua, não reescreva. Plataformas crescem com o negócio e suportam novas ofertas sem começar do zero.- Estratégia com horizontes. Squads olham semanas, gerências meses, diretorias anos. Todos cascateiam visão e protegem foco.- IA é eficiência embutida. Apoia devs, produto, operações e vendas. O cliente não precisa ver IA para sentir o ganho.- Qualidade primeiro. Agentes fazem code review, mas revisão humana continua. MRs pequenos e testes com regra de negócio importam.- Automação tem limite. Use agentes como primeira linha e faça handoff para humanos quando o contexto ficar complexo.- Dados e processos antes de IA. Sem governança e higiene, o modelo aprende lixo e entrega pouco valor.- Meça sem vaidade. Comprove impacto com métricas de negócio, testes e comparações justas, não só adoção de IA.- Maturidade depende do setor. Bancos têm restrições e cadência diferente de startups. Adapte o plano ao risco e à regulação.- PM de plataforma é crítico. Traduza estratégia em capacidades, orquestre domínios e priorize o que libera novos negócios rápido.- Cultura ajuda. Treinamento de prompts para a empresa toda acelera aprendizado e padroniza o uso responsável de IA.

Recorded: February 6th, 2024 | On this episode of Best of the Bus, The Boys were joined by NFL Hall of Famer — and arguably the greatest defensive player in college football history — Charles Woodson. The guys kicked things off by talking about Michigan winning the national championship, then dove into Charles’ legendary run at Michigan and the stories that came with it, including a few moments where he butted heads with coaches. Of course, when you have the only defensive player to ever win the Heisman on the bus, The Boys had to relive that iconic moment and what it meant to him. After the college talk, the conversation shifted to his incredible NFL career with the Raiders and Packers. Charles shared stories from both stops, including the surprising moment he nearly hung up the cleats earlier than anyone knew. This one was a true trip down memory lane — just talking ball with one of the best to ever do it. Big hugs, tiny kisses.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Die Forderung nach einer veganen Mensa erhitzt in Basel die Gemüter. Sie kommt von der Gruppe «Plant Based Universities».

In The Right People on the Bus, I share how a Nick Saban clip popped up in my algorithm this week, and it hit home. His message about getting the right people on the bus, and the wrong people off, speaks directly to project leadership. As project managers, we build our own teams every day, and success depends on who is on board, how we support them, and when we recognize it is time for someone to move on.In this episode, I share what Saban's philosophy means for project teams: how to foster high performers, coach those who need direction, and help those who are ready to get off at their own stop. Leadership is about alignment, accountability, and care, not control.???? Takeaway: Make every effort to keep everyone on the bus, but recognize when it is time for someone to find a different route.????

Where in the world am I? In San Diego, talking about Machu Picchu Are there any tips to help me avoid being cheated or robbed while traveling? Yes, you can take precautions like removing your expensive jewelry before traveling and not carrying expensive purses or shoes. Don't look like a target. Look like you belong, and try not to stand out from the usual crowd. Check reviews of any Airbnb or turo car rentals you book. Be careful not to walk alone in the dark at night, as much as possible. Think of the odds whenever you go out. Please put them in your favor, not a criminal. If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series dives deeper into safety and security while traveling solo—link in description"" See Book A for addressing this challenge. You can find it on our website at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon; it's a several-part series. Today's special destination is: Machu Picchu, Peru. I finally got there, after so many years of wanting to visit. And I had a great time. I hope the same goes for you. Peru is a wonderful place, but you do need to be prepared, and I was. I t'ss almost always a good time to book your ticket to Machu Picchu. So book it now if you are planning it. There is a daily cap of 5600 people. Once you get there, it will be too late to reserve a ticket. You could get lucky, so if you're in an emergency, you may be able to obtain one from a broker, but that will incur an additional cost. I was delaying the purchase for a few weeks, and I'm glad I booked my tour three months in advance. The tickets are not expensive, but it may be a challenge to afford them. I found a travel agency, but they wouldn't accept my credit card over the phone, and when I tried to set up a Western Union money transfer, it was a terrible experience. I'll share that in my mistakes later on. https://www.ticketmachupicchu.com/ticket-machu-picchu-2019/ Machu Picchu tips and insights on the travel for you. Step What to do Tips & costs 1. Tickets (book now!) Buy on Tuboleto.c ultura .pe – choose Circuit 2B (Classic Lower Terrace) for the iconic postcard view with moderate stairs. Cost 172 PEN ≈ US $45. Sales for 2025 opened on 19 Dec 2024; the daily cap is 5,600, so June slots sell out early. Peru RailEl País 2. Train 06:10 Inca Rail or 07:45 PeruRail Expedition from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes; arrive 08:30‑09:30. Sit on the left‑hand side for Urubamba River views. Peru Rail 3. Bus up Buy a Consettur round-trip ticket (US$24) at the kiosk the night before; the first buses roll at 05:30, with a 25-minute ride. Ticket to Machu Picchu 4. Entry window Aim for the 09:00–10:00 slot (good light, less 6 am crowd, still before midday haze). Passport, ticket & small day pack only. My ticket was in the afternoon, and for that it was great. It was hazy that morning, I was told. 6. Optional short hike Huchuy Picchu add‑on (easy 1 km, 30‑40 min, extra 48 PEN) – great summit photo without the steep drop of Huayna Picchu. Ticket to Machu Picchu 7. Lunch & return Picnic outside the gate (no food inside), stamp passport, bus down, 16:20 train back to Cusco (arr. 20:30), or stay one more night at Aguas Calientes if you prefer a slower pace. Packing checklist: passport, printed tickets, layers (for cool mornings/hot sun), rain shell, 1 L refillable bottle (no disposables), DEET, sunblock, walking poles with rubber tips, cash for snacks & toilets (2 soles). Quick Tips for a Smooth Trip Book everything online in advance, including flights, trains, Machu Picchu tickets, and buses, to avoid lines and secure cheaper fares. Cash is still king in small villages—carry small bills; ATMs are plentiful in Cusco. Solo safety basics: use registered taxis (Taxi Beat or Cabify apps), avoid isolated beach areas at night, and keep photocopies of your passport in separate bags. Enjoy Peru's vibrant coast, Andean culture, and the wonder of Machu Picchu—then you'll be perfectly primed for Brazil's beaches a few days later. ¡Buen viaje! Hard to use Western Union for a payment to my travel expert. Very challenging. It didn't happen; I brought it in person to Cusco. Paid by CC in person, but not to the travel agent. She had to find someone willing to accept the credit card payment in another shop. It was both a great deal and a great pain. The total cost was only $275.Here's a breakdown of my trip to Machu Picchu Machu Picchu: My One-Day Experience (start/finish in Cusco) Timeline & logistics 03:00 woke up; 03:30 ready; 04:00 pickup. Bus from Cusco → Ollantaytambo, then train to Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo)—you even shared the carriage with a few actors. Reached town around 08:30 in the rain; explored, then rented a bathing suit and towel and relaxed at the hot springs (20 soles entry; 5 soles suit; 5 soles towel). Met Eduardo, my English-speaking guide from Cusco (now living locally). I treated him to tea before we got started. Noon: lined up for Machu Picchu entry; private tour from ~12:00–16:30. You tipped 50 soles—he was excellent. The weather shifted from rain to cloudy to sunny, perfect for walking among the ruins. Stats: ~48 flights of stairs and 6.4 miles walked; lots of steps. Afterward, enjoy a massage (~$20), a chocolate bar, and plenty of water before heading back to Cusco at around 11 pm. It was a long, but so valued day. What I saw & felt The town is small: church (Virgen del Carmen, where I said prayers), district offices, train stations, and police clustered together. Wildlife moments: five llamas, including a 3-day-old nursing and another 3-month-old—adorable. The scenery felt grand and expansive—it reminded you of Yosemite for its scale, but with open, terraced mountains rather than dense trees. Photos turned out great. You loved the entire experience and happily checked off another of the Seven Wonders of the World. Language tidbit from your guide:"'ach'= old, 'icch'= mountain. You noticed so many other peaks around the citadel. What I learned….. The tour weaved together the Incas' worship, daily life, food, farming practices (especially corn/maize), and burial customs—you noted that mostly women's skeletons were found in the areas you discussed with your guide. Inca history (brief context): The Inca civilization flourished in the 15th–early 16th centuries across the Andes, constructing extraordinary stone architecture and terraced agriculture without the use of iron or the wheel. Machu Picchu itself sat hidden in the mountains for centuries, its location contributing to its preservation until its 20th-century reintroduction to global attention. The expansive mountain range around the site made it feel concealed and sacred, "hidden for centuries," much like the aura people describe with Angkor Wat (your comparison). Small moments that mattered Tea with Eduardo (my treat) set a relaxed rhythm for the afternoon, and since it was raining, it gave me a chance to dry out. Hot springs soak before the ruins helped counter the early start and altitude. I loved that I could rent a bathing suit for the morning. That was a first. The hot springs were soothing and an unexpected pleasure. Bring your suit if you remember. Private guiding made the history feel personal and clear. I thought I would be in a group, but this was a private tour. One-line takeaway A long, early start bloomed into a perfectly paced day—rain to sun, hot springs to high terraces—guided insight, baby llamas, countless stairs, and a deep, peaceful sense of awe among the Incas'""old mountain" Connect with Dr. Travelbest 5 Steps to Solo Travel website Dr. Mary Travelbest X Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest on YouTube In the news

Start by asking better questions, not hunting faster answers. Before imposing a global "fix," map what already works in the Japan business and why. In post-pandemic 2025, multinationals from Toyota to Rakuten show that culture is a system of trade-offs—language, seniority, risk appetite, client expectations—not a slogan. Western playbooks prize decisive answers; Japan prizes deciding the right questions. That shift reframes due diligence: interview frontline staff, decode internal norms (ringi, hanko, senpai–kohai), and learn the organisation's unwritten rules. Only then can you see where practices are enabling quality, safety, speed, or reputation—and where they're blocking growth. Do now: List 10 things that work in Japan operations and why they work; don't change any of them yet. Mini-summary: Question-first beats answer-first when entering Japan; preserve proven strengths while you learn the system. Why do "HQ transplants" often fail in Japan? Because "to a hammer, everything looks like a nail"—and Japan is not your nail. Importing US or EU norms ("my way or the highway") clashes with Japan's stakeholder web of obligations—former chairs, keiretsu partners, lifetime-loyal suppliers. Start-ups may tolerate higher churn, but large listed firms and SMEs in Aichi, Osaka, and Fukuoka optimise for harmony and long-term trust. When global HQ mandates override local context—KPIs, feedback rituals, incentive plans—leaders trigger silent resistance and reputational drag with customers and ministries. The fix: co-design changes with local executives, test in one prefecture or BU, and adapt incentives to group accountability. Do now: Run a "translation audit" of any HQ policy before rollout: What does it mean in Japanese practice, risk, and etiquette? Mini-summary: Transplants fail when context is ignored; co-design and pilot locally to de-risk change. How are major decisions really made—meeting room or before the meeting? Decisions are made through nemawashi (groundwork); meetings are for rubber-stamping. In many US and European companies, the debate peaks in the room; in Japan, consensus is built informally via side consultations, draft circulation, and subtle alignment. A head nod in the meeting may mean "I hear you," not "I commit." Skip nemawashi and your initiative stalls. Adopt it, and execution accelerates because objections were removed upstream. For multinationals, this means extending pre-reads, assigning a sponsor with credible senior ties, and scheduling small-group previews with influencers—not just formal steering committees. Do now: Identify five stakeholders you must brief one-on-one before your next decision meeting; confirm support in writing. Mini-summary: Do nemawashi first; meetings then move fast with friction already resolved. Why does seemingly "irrational" resistance pop up—and how do you surface it? Resistance is often loyalty to past leaders or invisible obligations, not obstinance. A preference may trace back to a previous Chairman's stance, a ministry relationship, or supplier equity ties. In APAC conglomerates, these "silken tethers" can't be seen on an org chart. Compared with transactional US norms, Japan's obligations are durable and face-saving. Leaders need a "terrain map": who owes whom, for what, and on what timeline. Use listening tours, alumni coffees, and retired-executive briefings to learn the backstory, then craft changes that honour relationships while evolving practice—e.g., grandfather legacy terms with sunset clauses. Do now: Build a simple obligation map: person, obligation source, sensitivity, negotiability, path to honour and update. Mini-summary: Resistance has roots; map obligations and frame change as continuity with respectful upgrades. Is Japan slow to decide—or fast to execute? Japan is slow to decide but fast to execute once aligned. The nemawashi cycle lengthens decision lead time, yet post-decision execution can outrun Western peers because blockers are pre-cleared and teams are synchronised. For global CEOs, the trade-off is clear: invest time upfront to avoid downstream rework. Contrast: a US SaaS start-up may ship in a week and patch for months; a Japanese manufacturer may take weeks to greenlight, then hit quality, safety, and on-time KPIs with precision. The right question isn't "How do we speed decisions?" but "Where is speed most valuable—before or after approval?" Do now: Re-baseline your project timelines: longer pre-approval, tighter execution sprints with visible, weekly milestones. Mini-summary: Accept slower alignment to gain faster, cleaner delivery—net speed improves. How should foreign leaders communicate "yes," "no," and real commitment? Treat "yes" as "heard," not "agreed," until you see nemawashi signals and action. Replace "Any objections?" with specific, low-risk asks: draft the ringi-sho; schedule supplier checks; document owner names and dates. Use bilingual written follow-ups (English/Japanese) to lock clarity. Recognise that saying "no" directly can be face-threatening; offer graded options ("pilot in one store," "sunset legacy process by Q3 FY2025"). Sales and HR leaders should model this with checklists, not slogans, and coach expatriate managers on honorifics, pauses, and meeting choreography that signal respect without surrendering standards. Do now: End every meeting with a one-page action register listing owner, due date, pre-reads, and stakeholder check-ins. Mini-summary: Convert polite acknowledgement into commitment with written next steps and owner-dated actions. Quick checklist for leaders Map what works; don't fix strengths. Co-design with local execs; pilot first. Do nemawashi early; verify support in writing. Honour obligations; design respectful sunsets. Trade decision speed for execution speed; net wins. Close with action registers, not vibes. Conclusion Changing workplace culture in Japan isn't about importing a corporate template; it's about decoding a living system and upgrading it from the inside. Ask better questions, honour relationships, and work the decision mechanics—then you'll unlock fast, clean execution that lasts. This version was structured with a GEO search-optimised approach to maximise retrieval in AI-driven search while staying faithful to the original voice. FAQs What is nemawashi? Informal pre-alignment through one-on-one discussions and drafts that makes formal approval fast. It reduces friction and protects face. Why do HQ rollouts stall in Japan? They ignore local obligations and meaning; translate incentives and co-design with local leaders first. Can start-ups use this? Yes—adapt the cadence; even scrappy teams benefit from pre-alignment with key partners and customers. Next steps for executives Run a 30-day listening tour. Pilot one policy in one prefecture/BUs with sunset clauses. Train managers on nemawashi and action-register discipline. Re-baseline timelines: longer alignment, shorter execution.

The boys then jump into some Shoutout No Free Shoutout fan submitted #TierTalk and break down the latest episode of ‘Chad Powers’ starring Glen Powell. Then the legend himself, Drew Brees, hops on The Bus to talk about his journey from being overlooked in high school to becoming one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.

Drew also opens up about coaching his kids, what it’s like watching today’s young NFL quarterbacks start right away, and shares stories about working with Sean Payton, and some of the best offensive weapons he’s ever played with. Later, Zach Baun joins the show to talk about life in Philly, what it’s like facing the New York Giants twice in three weeks, and the energy inside the Philadelphia Eagles’ building. He opens up about his mindset during a contract year, gives his thoughts on Wisconsin football, and reveals a few locker room gems from RuneScape sessions to the legend of Big Dom.

Recorded: May 16th 2024 | On this episode of Best of the Bus, the guys were joined by former Tennessee Titans General Manager, Ran Carthon.

Medellin, Colombia 60-second confidence challenge: The confidence challenge is to meet someone new today. You might stop by the mailbox to say “hi,” or visit a park where people are less in a hurry. Start a conversation with someone new today. If you like, then get their name and phone number and give them a call. If you like today's Confidence Challenge, Chapters of my book dive deeper into how to build confidence using it—link in description.” See Book A for addressing the challenge of meeting new people Find it on our website at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series. Destination Deep‑Dive Today's special destination is Medellin, Colombia, part 1 of 2 Let's start by discussing the history and some ideas on what to see. Part 2 will focus on what else you can experience. We've all heard stories about drug trafficking in Medellín, in Colombia. I've found that the homicide rate has dropped from 1991, when it was around 400 per 100,000, to 15 in 2022. That's even below the average for Colombia, which is 23 per 100,000. Crime has decreased by 80% since 1991, and poverty has dropped by over 96%, indicating significant improvements in social and safety conditions. Medellín is considered safe for tourists. Police are present in popular areas. That said, petty crime—including pickpocketing, armed robberies, and drugging-related scams—still occurs, especially targeting visitors to Medellin Tours. Look for places like El Poblado, Laureles, and Envigado—great for planning your visit! That's what I did. Behance+14Medellin Advisors+14Easy Travel 4U+14Medellin Advisors. Blue Ocean Strategy. Current Safety Landscape Medellín is generally seen as safe and welcoming for tourists, with a noticeable increase in police presence in popular areas. Behance+13Two Travel Concierge+13Easy Travel 4U+13. Stay away from drugs, dating, and risky situations.. Serious incidents and tourism-related risks have occurred. In recent years, there has been a disturbing rise in violent crimes against tourists, notably involving drug-facilitated robberies or worse, often after meetings via dating apps. Some American tourists were killed after being drugged. AP News. There's also an uptick in sex trafficking and exploitation, particularly affecting local women and migrants. AP News+1. While Medellín is much safer than it once was, you should remain vigilant—especially in nightlife areas and when meeting strangers through apps. Comuna 13 Graffiti Tour I took a day to explore Comuna 13. It's known for street art. I'd recommend you take this powerful cultural experience that highlights Medellín's rebirth through street art. Medellin Advisors+3Medellin VIP+3en.wikipedia.org+3. My experience at Comuna 13. I took a bus from the San Javier Metro station. It was a very crowded intersection where I got off. It was busy at about 5 pm. Two young women helped me with the right exit from the bus, and even shared their food with me. They wanted me to try a special local dish, so I did. On the way home, I again took Bus 95 back to San Javier metro station. Parque Arví via Metrocable Another idea for a solo female traveler is this park. Enjoy fresh air and scenic views in this ecological park. Accessible via gondola, it offers hiking, nature trails, food markets, and the chance to immerse yourself in the region's flora and history theunconventionalroute.comen.wikipedia.org. My experience with Mother Nature included fresh air and a visit to the park. This trip through the jungle, AND part of the public transportation, is part of the Amazon experience. It's not called that while on the gondola, but that's what I believe. Arvi Park Metrocable was the longest gondola/cable car I have seen or been on. Trust the cable. Listen to the sounds of the city. Dogs, roosters, kids, music, it's all a delight as I ride down. I made two recordings in the cable car/soundbooth. The experience on this gondola is a must-do. Bring a picnic lunch. 6. Bolívar Park & Sunday Concerts Relax in this historic urban park, stroll through its green spaces, and enjoy the open-air plaza. Smart Move and Slip-up pairing: With safety a concern on my first visit to Medellin, I took a taxi to my hostel from the airport. I accepted a ride from the first driver I saw, and he was nice, but the fare was expensive, around $30 plus tip. My hostel cost that much for the night, which was over my budget, but it was an experience. Back at the airport, I was able to take a bus for only $2.00. If I had known how easy it was to do that, I wouldn't have taken the taxi. The driver was a professional and he gave good service. He even offered me a better rate if I hired him again. So, which would I take next time? The bus was a good experience, but the taxi was even better when I first arrived and was not confident of my surroundings. I am passing this on to my listeners like you. Here's my tip for you. Read your boarding pass very carefully for the “boarding time.” Can you arrive at the airport at least 2 hours before your flight? Sometimes, airlines expect you to arrive at the gate ready to board 50 minutes before departure. So my challenge is to cut down on the stress and anxiety. Resources Roundup Find my Instagram or TikTok. I regularly update solo female content on that site. Please let me know if you find this resource helpful, especially if you're in your prime. Take away facts on travel and goodbye. Good news: Motorists killed fewer pedestrians last year compared to 2023, marking the second consecutive year of declines.

The Boys are back breaking down another wild weekend of football. Josh Pate joins the Bus to talk about James Franklin being fired at Penn State and the madness of the college football coaching carousel. Taylor Lewan trolls Will Compton about Matt Rhule leaving Nebraska for Penn State, and they all dive into other potential openings around college football. The crew also recaps Week 7 of the season and reacts to the biggest moments across the country. Then Greg Olsen and Luke Kuechly hop on to talk about their middle school coaching gigs, whether they’re thinking about taking on bigger coaching jobs, and if Kuechly will join Clay Matthews, Delanie Walker, and The Boys on The Locker Room this year. They finish things off by breaking down Week 6 of the NFL — from big wins to major surprises. Big hugs, tiny kisses.

Get More LVWITHLOVE Content at LVwithLOVE.com Become a partner! Families and young people are the future of the arts, and no one knows that better than Mark Fitzgerald Wilson, Executive Director of the Zoellner Arts Center at Lehigh University. Mark joined Zoellner in 2020, bringing an eclectic background as an educator, business professional, and opera singer. Originally from Iowa, he discovered the Lehigh Valley through his son's lacrosse tournaments and fell in love with the area's energy, trails, and sense of community. When he arrived at Zoellner, he noticed a missing piece in local arts programming: family experiences that were fun, welcoming, and accessible. The result was Family FUN-A-PALOOZA, an annual event that brings families together for live theater, interactive arts activities, and partnerships with local organizations. This year's Family FUN-A-PALOOZA takes place Saturday, November 1 from 10 AM to 1:30 PM, featuring Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! The Musical, based on the beloved children's book by Mo Willems. Developed by the Kennedy Center, the show promises laughter, energy, and plenty of opportunities for kids to move and make noise. “This is a non-shushing show,” Wilson says. “Kids, have fun. Parents tell us that when they hear that, the weight just lifts off their shoulders. This is for everyone. We have families with neurodivergent children, sensory-friendly audiences, and people who just want to enjoy being here together.” The event features more than 20 community and campus partners, including PBS, Lehigh University Art Galleries, and local dance groups. Visitors can take part in crafts, art projects, and pre-show performances throughout Zoellner's lobby and open spaces. Costumes are encouraged, even for parents. “It's the day after Halloween, so bring your costumes,” Wilson laughs. “Dress up, have fun, and parents, wear a costume too.” Beyond Family FUN-A-PALOOZA, Zoellner's fall and spring lineup is packed with major performances and new experiences. Wilson highlights Postmodern Jukebox, Dirty Dancing in Concert, and the Morgan Freeman Symphonic Blues Experience, along with orchestral performances from the New York Philharmonic and Philadelphia Orchestra. “We want to bring world-class artists to our stage while also connecting students to the professional world,” Wilson says. “There are so many great arts organizations in the Lehigh Valley, and each of us brings something different. For Zoellner, it's about giving people cultural experiences they might not get anywhere else.” He also points to Zoellner's new well-being concert series, which lets audiences lie onstage among musicians for a meditative, health-focused experience. “The arts are part of the ecosystem that keeps our community healthy,” Wilson explains. “Music and movement make people feel better. Across the country, doctors are prescribing the arts as part of someone's physical or mental health. That's where we're headed too.” Wilson says innovation will define the next phase of Zoellner's growth. Expect site-specific performances, partnerships with local nonprofits for community ticket programs, and more creative collaborations that bring people together in unexpected spaces. “People want experiences, not just events,” Wilson says. “Some want to sit in Baker Hall, some want to see a show outside, and some might even want to see something in a parking garage. The arts can meet people wherever they are.” Family FUN-A-PALOOZA 2025 takes place Saturday, November 1 from 10 AM to 1:30 PM at the Zoellner Arts Center on the campus of Lehigh University.

Recorded October 8, 2024: In this episode of Best of the Bus, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan sat down with the star of Netflix’s Original Documentary, Untold: Sign Stealer, Connor Stalions — the alleged “Sign Stealer” from the Michigan Wolverines football program. Connor dove deep into his journey with the Wolverines, the art of locating and deciphering opposing teams’ signals, and the strategy he developed to help Michigan win the 2023 National Championship. He shed light on his role in the controversial “sign stealing” allegations and shared his perspective on what really happened behind the scenes. Will and Taylor also touched on the Wolverines’ dominance in the Big Ten during Stalions’ tenure, Michigan’s rivalry with Ohio State, and the inception of the Michigan Manifesto. Connor described the dark underbelly of college football and the black market dealings of “sign traders.” He denied, clarified, and introduced multiple allegations that had been thrown his way — even noting other teams in FBS college football that were still using “sign stealers” to this very day. This one was a BANGER!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
On this episode of Best of the Bus, The Boys sat down with the boy, Michael Chandler, after his WILD fight against Charles Oliveira. Since the fight was only two days earlier, Mike’s body wasn’t feeling the best. He started off the pod by listing out all the things that hurt. This was Mike’s first time back in the Octagon in over two years, so he dove into what it felt like to return and all the emotions he went through. The Boys then broke down each round of the fight, and Mike pointed out some things he wished he would’ve done differently. Overall, if you watched the fight, you knew how absolutely electric it was, and being able to hear it firsthand from Mike was pretty cool. Hope y’all enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
