Le Castellet ist eine französische Gemeinde mit ca. 6.000 Einwohnern im Département Var in der Region Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. 2022 wurde Le Castellet mit dem Prädikat „Die schönsten Dörfer Frankreichs“ ausgezeichnet. Rennsportfans verbinden den Ort allerdings mit der Rennstrecke Paul Ricard.   Darum geht es diesmal!Im Rahmen des globalen Magma Launch Events im südfranzösischen Le Castellet hat Genesis das Magma GT Concept präsentiert – ein richtungsweisendes Fahrzeug, das die künftige Ausrichtung der Marke im Hochleistungssegment definiert. Das Konzept steht exemplarisch für die Strategie, mit der Genesis in den kommenden zehn Jahren seine Luxury High Performance Vision entwickeln und konsequent ausbauen wird. Weit mehr als eine Designstudie ist das Magma GT Concept der bislang deutlichste Ausdruck der Leistungs- und Motorsportambitionen des koreanischen Premiumherstellers. Bereits im September wurde das Konzeptfahrzeug auf dem CEO Investor Day der Hyundai Motor Company in New York vorgestellt. Das Magma GT Concept dient als Technologieträger, strategischer Meilenstein und ist der erste öffentlich sichtbare Schritt hin zum langfristigen Ziel, in die GT-Rennklasse einzusteigen.Luc Donckerwolke, Präsident und Chief Creative Officer von GenesisDazu sagte Luc Donckerwolke, Präsident und Chief Creative Officer von Genesis: „Das Magma GT Concept zeigt eindrucksvoll, wozu wir in der Lage sind und symbolisiert unsere Ambitionen im Motorsport. Unser Fokus lag weder auf aggressiven Formen oder reiner Geschwindigkeit, sondern auf der Ausgewogenheit des Gesamtkonzepts. Das Fahrzeug verbindet sich instinktiv mit seinem Fahrer - jede Komponente dient der mühelosen Kraftentfaltung. Der Magma GT verlangt dem Fahrer nichts ab – er stärkt ihn. Dies ist nicht einfach ein besonders leistungsstarker Genesis: Der Magma GT ist die Essenz unserer aktuellen Fähigkeiten im High Performance Bereich.“  Zitat Ende!  Ein Meilenstein für die Marke Genesis Die erste reine GT-Studie der Marke ist  ein wichtiger Meilenstein in der Entwicklung von Genesis in der Luxury High Performance Strategie. Das Modell verkörpert die Idee von „Effortless Performance“ – Leistung, die nicht lautstark demonstriert, sondern souverän wirkt. Der Magma GT Concept ist mit seinem Mittelmotorkonzept der nächste Schritt auf dem Weg zu einem breiteren internationalen GT-Wettbewerb.  Design: Von der Rennstrecke inspiriert Das Design des Magma GT Concept folgt keinem dekorativen Ansatz, sondern konsequent aerodynamischen und funktionalen Prinzipien. Jede Linie erfüllt eine Aufgabe, jede Form dient der Fahrstabilität und Effizienz.  Wesentliche Merkmale sind die tief liegende Motorhaube und die langgezogene, abfallende Dachlinie für eine reine, renntaugliche Silhouette, die die „Athletic Elegance”-Philosophie von Genesis in den Motorsport übertragen.Alle Fotos: © Genesis Motor    Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has been making headlines in the past few days with a mix of personal style changes, business ventures, and public appearances. According to IMDb, Bieber made a notable public appearance at the 2025 World Series, debuting a clean-shaven look alongside his wife Hailey Bieber. The couple cheered for the Toronto Blue Jays at Dodger Stadium, marking a fresh-faced era for the singer. Rolling Stone and The Hollywood Reporter also noted Bieber's enthusiastic support for the Blue Jays, including a playful thumbs-down gesture toward Shohei Ohtani.On the business front, AOL reports that Bieber is gearing up to launch a new fashion line called SKYLRK. He's been teasing apparel and accessories on Instagram, tagging @SKYLRK in his posts and adding the brand to his bio. While there's no official launch date yet, fans can sign up for updates on the SKYLRK website. This move comes as Bieber appears to have stepped back from promoting his previous streetwear label, Drew House.Bieber's support for his wife Hailey's beauty brand, rhode, continues to be a highlight. AOL notes that Justin is “beyond proud” of Hailey following the $1 billion acquisition of rhode by e.l.f. cosmetics. Hailey will now serve as Chief Creative Officer and Head of Innovation for rhode, with Justin sharing her announcement on his Instagram.In personal news, People magazine reported that Bieber made a brief appearance in Hailey's 29th birthday video, cheering her on. This comes amid ongoing speculation about his health and career, but no new official statements have been made.A less flattering story emerged from MARCA, which reported that Bieber was photographed urinating in public during a golf game in Palm Springs, California. The incident, while minor, drew attention due to the potential legal penalties for public urination in California.Overall, Bieber's recent activities reflect a blend of personal reinvention, business expansion, and continued public engagement, all of which are shaping his evolving public image.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has made several headlines in recent days as the thirty-one-year-old singer continues to balance his personal life with new business ventures. Most recently, on November twenty-fifth, the Canadian artist was photographed urinating in bushes while golfing with friends in Palm Springs, California. According to multiple reports including Page Six and Marca, Bieber was seen drinking beer before the incident, which could potentially result in a one thousand dollar fine since public urination is classified as a misdemeanor in California and can carry penalties up to six months in jail.On a lighter note, Bieber made a fresh public appearance earlier this month when he shaved off his beard and debuted a clean-shaven face during Game Three of the two thousand twenty-five World Series at Dodger Stadium. The singer attended the event with his wife Hailey Bieber, wearing a Blue Jays jersey and enthusiastically cheering for the Toronto team. Multiple outlets including Just Jared and Rolling Stone covered the look change, noting that a new era of the beard-free Bieber had begun.In business developments, Bieber continues to expand his entrepreneurial portfolio. He has been teasing a new fashion line called SKYLRK on Instagram, sharing previews of apparel and accessories including sweatshirts, beanies, phone cases, sunglasses, and platform slide sandals in bold colors. According to AOL, the brand has been tagged in his bio, though an official launch date has not yet been announced and fans can sign up for notifications on the website. This venture comes as Bieber has seemingly stepped back from promoting his previous streetwear label Drew House, which he originally launched in twenty nineteen.Meanwhile, Bieber has expressed strong support for his wife's recent business milestone. When Hailey announced in May that her beauty brand Rhode was acquired by e.l.f. cosmetics for one billion dollars, a source told People magazine that Justin is beyond proud of his wife's achievement. The source noted that he has witnessed her dedication since day one and that Rhode was never just a side project for Hailey, who now serves as Chief Creative Officer and Head of Innovation.Additionally, upcoming tour dates show Bieber has performances scheduled for April twenty-ten and seventeen at the Empire Polo Field in Indio, California, indicating continued music career activity.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Whether it's a broken relationship, a missed opportunity, or simply feeling invisible, those moments can leave scars that whisper lies: you're not enough, you're not wanted, you don't belong.But here's the truth: rejection doesn't define you—in God's hands, it refines you.Today, I'm joined by Ginger Stache, Emmy Award–winning storyteller and Chief Creative Officer at Joyce Meyer Ministries. She knows what it's like to walk through rejection and come out stronger, wiser, and more anchored in God's love.We're talking about how God can take the sting of rejection and use it to shape you, strengthen you, and set you free.Because when God rewrites your story, rejection becomes redirection—and that's where purpose begins.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has been making headlines this past week with a rare but buzzworthy combination of family life, pop culture throwbacks, and big-money business moves. Halloween 2025 was a classic Bieber affair as Justin, Hailey, and their one-year-old son Jack Blues Bieber stole the internet's heart with coordinated costumes inspired by Pixar's The Incredibles. Justin suited up as Mr Incredible, Hailey stunned as Elastigirl, and their son Jack Blues had everyone smiling as the adorable Jack-Jack. According to Netflix Junkie and repeated elsewhere by TMZ, social media went into overdrive when the Biebers posted family photos on X and Instagram, carefully maintaining Jack's privacy by keeping his face out of the spotlight while playing up the playful superhero theme. That costume reveal was only half the magic; Hailey's Instagram stories showed Jack Blues in a follow-up look as a mini version of Justin from his early YouTube years—the purple hoodie, white denim, it was a nostalgia bomb that had both new fans and diehards reminiscing about the pop icon's 2000s stardom. Us Weekly and ABS-CBN picked up the story and confirmed this cute nod to Justin's musical roots.Beyond Halloween, Bieber's business and personal life are still a media focus, especially after Hailey's huge payday: her beauty brand, rhode, was acquired by e.l.f. Beauty for $1 billion in late May. According to PEOPLE and AOL, those close to the Biebers say Justin is “beyond proud” of his wife's entrepreneurial leap, sharing her post and celebrating her new role as Chief Creative Officer. The magnitude of that deal means the Biebers are edging closer to billionaire status as a couple, though exact figures are hard to nail down.In other business news, rumors earlier this year swirled about Justin facing financial headaches linked to last year's tour cancellations and his decision to sell his music catalog for a reported $200 million. TMZ's documentary What Happened to Justin Bieber added fuel to the speculation, with claims that the sale was made under duress due to alleged financial strains, though Justin's representatives dismissed these reports as baseless clickbait. Amid this, Justin quietly separated from his now-iconic fashion line Drew House back in April, announcing via Instagram that he was no longer involved and teasing a new venture called SKYLRK, though he's kept details under wraps for now.On the social front, Justin and Hailey's Halloween antics were picked up by ThatGrapeJuice, adding them to lists with Janet Jackson, Alicia Keys, and Heidi Klum among the most dazzling Halloween appearances of 2025. There have been no confirmed hints of new music or major public appearances from Justin in the past week, but family moments and clever callbacks to his early career ensured that, once again, the Biebers dominated the pop culture conversation.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

The series will bring together two of the most influential Latino journalists in the U.S. for their first-ever podcast and co-hosted video series."The Moment" is a multigenerational conversation between legendary journalist Jorge Ramos and acclaimed author and MSNBC contributor Paola Ramos. Together, this Emmy-award winning father-daughter duo will sit down with politicians, artists, activists, journalists and other top thinkers to tackle the issues of today with raw, unfiltered conversations and a distinctly Latino point of view. Guests this season will include Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani; actor, producer, comedian and activist John Leguizamo; lawyer and executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union, Anthony Romero; internet personality, award-winning journalist and podcaster, V Spehar (@UnderTheDeskNews); Chilean-American writer and novelist, Isabel Allende; and more."Not only am I going back to the news, but this is an incredible opportunity to work for the first time in English and with my daughter Paola," said Jorge Ramos. "Few people know that we talk almost every single day over the phone about the news of the day. And now iHeartMedia's My Cultura and Radio Ambulante Studios are helping to make our intergenerational conversations public, and I'll always be grateful. With this podcast, we want to be the space where people go whenever they have something important to say about the Latino community."This new series will mark Jorge Ramos' debut in the podcasting space and return to reporting following his departure from being a television news anchor. Known worldwide for his fearless reporting style, Ramos will bring even more edge, curiosity and unfiltered perspectives into his new format. Alongside her dad, Paola will bring the show a fresh, modern voice informed by her journalism and political background, having served on campaigns for Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama."I'm looking forward to working in this new medium, which will allow us to have the type of in-depth conversations many people are yearning for today," said Paola Ramos. "Whether it's making sense of the state of politics, talking to artists or exposing new voices, our hope is for 'The Moment' to become a thought-provoking, intimate space that fosters understanding and curiosity in the midst of a highly polarized landscape. I can't think of a better team to be doing this with."The launch of "The Moment with Jorge Ramos and Paola Ramos" will expand the creative partnership between iHeartMedia's My Cultura Podcast Network and Radio Ambulante Studios, which announced a multi-show coproduction deal in 2024. Radio Ambulante Studios' award-winning Spanish language podcast, "Radio Ambulante," will also return for a new season - its 15th - at the end of September."We couldn't be more thrilled to be working with Paola and Jorge, two journalists whose work we've admired for a long time," said Radio Ambulante Studios' CEO Carolina Guerrero. "A partnership like this one, which leverages the editorial strength of Radio Ambulante Studios, the expertise of iHeart, and the uncompromising talent of our hosts, will allow us to reach enormous Latino audiences with a take on the news they won't find anywhere else.""Collaborating with Jorge and Paola on 'The Moment' is an exciting milestone for the network," said Leo Gomez, head of iHeartMedia's My Cultura Podcast Network. "'It embodies what we strive to do every day - deliver bold, authentic storytelling that reflects the richness and complexity of Latino life. Together with Radio Ambulante Studios, we're delivering conversations that will inform, inspire and connect."The My Cultura Podcast Network launched May 2021 in collaboration with Enrique Santos, iHeartMedia's top-rated on-air personality and President and Chief Creative Officer of iHeartLatino.

How connected do your people feel? Phil Thomas is the Chief Creative Officer of Informa Festivals. They're the company that owns Cannes Lions. And Phil has recently been named as Chairman of Comic Relief. One of the things that I've learned hosting this podcast is that the most powerful leaders rarely get remembered for their titles. They're remembered for how they made people feel. In this conversation with Phil, what stood out most weren't his achievements. It was his perspective on making people feel connected. As you'll hear, when you emphasize connection in your leadership, kindness, challenges, accomplishments, language shapes the culture, and the trust that follows becomes invaluable currency that maximizes creativity. Connection is also one of the 13 conditions that's measured by FORM, the creativity diagnostic that I've been developing. Because in every organization that I've studied, when people feel seen, heard, and respected, creativity is unlocked and businesses grow faster. And, memorably, this conversation with Phil is a reminder that connection isn't a soft skill, it's the foundation of creative leadership and the impact that that leadership leaves behind. How connected do your people feel to your organization? Do they feel seen, heard, and respected?
