Perched over the Hudson River near the city of Hudson sits Olana State Historic Site, once the wondrous home of painter Frederic Church. This Gilded Age mansion is unlike any in the valley, mystical and imposing, evoking Persian and Moorish architectural styles and reflecting the art and ambitions of its former owner. Church was more than a Hudson River School painter; he was an adventurer and dreamer, bringing the vistas of the world to America within his massive landscape creations. In 1859, when his Heart of the Andes made its New York debut, thousands lined up to soak in its impossible beauty. Victoria Johnson, author of the new biography Glorious Country: How the Artist Frederic Church Brought the World to America and America to the World, has walked in his footsteps — from the Ecuadorian volcano Cotopaxi to the heights of ancient Petra. She joins Greg and Tom on the podcast this week to discuss Church's unusual life — both as a New Yorker and as a daring traveler. After this show, you may never look at a landscape painting the same way again. This show was edited and produced by Kieran Gannon Visit the website to take a look at some of Church's paintings, as well as a list of other Bowery Boys podcasts related to this show.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

As we continue our hallmark tenth season of the Eccles Business Buzz podcast, we will bring you conversations with notable alumni from the David Eccles School of Business and their stories about the impact the school has had on their lives and careers. In this episode, host Frances Johnson talks with Jhareil Hutchinson, a marketing professional and junior project manager for the NBA's Utah Jazz.Jhareil, a 2024 David Eccles School of Business marketing graduate and First Ascent Scholars alumnus, describes some of the barriers he faced coming to college as a first-generation student, and how the First Ascent cohort helped him build a sense of community and belonging. Jhareil credits the program and Eccles with teaching him networking, getting him involved through internships and campus roles, and allowing him to be vulnerable enough to ask questions. Jhareil and Frances discuss his career path, from Jazz team attendant to Cotopaxi intern, to his first job with the Olympic Legacy Foundation, and then back to the Jazz. He discusses aiming to work for the NBA, mentoring current students with his wife Julie, and advises students to not be afraid to pursue opportunities.Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School of Business and is produced by University.fm.Eccles Business Buzz is proud to be selected by FeedSpot as one of the Top 70 Business School podcasts on the web.

But great coaches teach you how to find them. And I think that when I think about that, I kind of just think about the people that are around you, the people that you kind of surround yourself with. People will tell you, “Hey, I have this car; I got this really great promotion. You know, just showing off all these extravagant things, or yeah, like look, kind of just like, look at me, look at me, look at me." And I think that in order to kind of succeed and find those fish and tell you, you know, to have that coach tell you exactly where those fish are, you need to surround yourself with people who are going to be honest with you with tough love but also be like, "Hey, if you want to go down this path, let's do it together." I'm here in your corner to support you. Let's talk about it, let's research it, and let's come up with a plan to actually take action and do the thing that you want to do. I feel like I've always wanted to know exactly where I want to go or where I need to achieve the things, and it's always just about having those people in your corner, but then it's also up to yourself to go out there and do the research.On guiding students toward proactivity, while staying accountable himself[37:50] There's so many different paths to go down in sports, whether that's with sales, marketing, game presentation, whatever it is. So I think it's like a really cool opportunity just because we had some amazing mentors. We had some really cool people to kind of reach out to and ask questions. So I'm wanting to do the same for these students that are in this program. And so far it's been really cool to talk with these students and hear about all the different career paths that they're watching to go down, because it's not all the same. And we don't have the same advice for every student. But, I think the thing that we always tell students is to, again, like we've talked about, like don't be afraid to get involved. Don't be afraid to ask questions. And I think the thing that I get out of it the most is kind of—it's just like a reset point for us, or at least for me. Just kind of like, okay, this student is doing this, and, you know, I'm telling them to make sure that they're reaching out to folks and making sure that they're getting involved and making sure that they have their checks and balances. But am I holding myself accountable for those checks and balances? So it's kind of like a reflection. Like make sure you're telling them to, you know, do all these things for their sake, because we want them to have good grades, we want them to excel. We want them to have a great career, but then we also want that for ourselves.The struggles of being a first-generation student[03:33] I think another barrier that I faced coming into college was just the sense of belonging. Being a first-generation college student, none of my family members had ever even gone to college. So I was the very first one, and I had no clue what to think. I had no clue what to say. I had no clue what to ask. I had no clue who to reach out to, didn't know anything about classes, [and] didn't know anything about internships or, you know, just everything that had to do with college. I had no kind of support system in that sense. And so that kind of put me like, I kind of took a step back, and I was like, "Man, is this really for me?" Like, I don't know anybody; no one else knows about this. Like I'm really here on my own. So it's really up to me to figure out exactly what I need to do. I know there's individuals out there who have had the privilege of, you know, their parents went to college or their brother went to college, and so they kind of had that support system for someone to reach out to, and they had someone to say, “Hey, this is where financial aid is," or “Hey, this is all the clubs that you could be a part of,” and, you know, so on and so forth. It was really tough at first because again, like, I had no one to reach out to, and I had to figure it all out on my own, which was kind of a positive and a negative with my experience coming into college.Jhareil reflects: Wishing his younger self had more courage[31:06] I think the thing that I probably would tell myself is to not be afraid, to not dig my hole before it even, like, starts. I think a lot of the times, like, in high school, like, I was super, super shy. So, coming into First Ascent, having to share, you know, a room with another person, and let alone the whole house with 10 other students, I was like, "Okay, I guess I have to. Just don't be afraid to get out of your comfort zone. Don't be afraid to ask those questions." And I think a lot of the times a lot of students are like, "Oh, like, this is probably not going to happen for me, so I'm just not even going to pursue it." Or, "Oh, like, they're just going to tell me no, so I'm just not even going to do it." And I wish I would've told myself to just don't be afraid. Like, the worst thing people can tell you is no. Show Links:Jhareil Hutchinson | LinkedIn ProfileJhareil Hutchinson | InstagramUtah Jazz | NBA TeamFirst Ascent Scholars | Eccles SchoolDavid Eccles School of Business (@ubusiness) | InstagramUndergraduate Scholars ProgramsRising Business LeadersEccles Alumni Network (@ecclesalumni) | Instagram Eccles Experience Magazine

What truly drives people to thrive at work isn't perks or programs, but the culture leaders create every single day. But when the day-to-day culture at work is marked by fear, unclear roles, and pressure from the top, people disengage no matter how many benefits you offer. Leaders often miss this because they're chasing quarterly targets or process checklists, leaving human potential untapped.

El presidente de Ecuador Daniel Noboa decidió eliminar el subsidio al diésel que pasó de 1,80 dólares a 2,80. La medida sorpresa, sin convocar a mesas de diálogo ni concertar con los sectores más dependientes del combustible, ha generado la protesta social y gremial. RFI consultó la opinión de Leónidas Iza Salazar, líder indígena y excandidato presidencial. El presidente Noboa decretó el estado de excepción en seis provincias y llamó al diálogo en un país donde el combustible no solo es un bien económico sino un símbolo político. Dos gobiernos ecuatorianos han estado a punto de arder por intentar eliminar el subsidio al diésel. En 2019, la revuelta social obligó al presidente Lenín Moreno a derogar las impopulares reformas económicas que incluían un alza importante en el precio de los combustibles. Tres años después, durante el mandato del ultraconservador Guillermo Lasso, el movimiento indígena también logró bloquear el incremento del precio del combustible y forzar al gobierno a comprometerse a mantener congelados los precios del diésel y del gas licuado de petróleo. Los enfrentamientos dejaron muertos, heridos y una gran fractura social. Leónidas Iza Salazar presidía entonces la Confederación de Nacionalidades Indígenas del Ecuador (CONAIE), emblema nacional por la defensa del subsidio al diésel. "El tema de los subsidios a los combustibles está anclado en más de 30 años de política pública. Según una ley de 2005, los siguientes gobiernos deben construir una política de compensación social y productiva para que vayamos dejando el diésel poco a poco y que no sea una decisión agresiva, letal, como ha intentado cada gobierno de turno", dijo a Radio Francia Internacional el líder indígena y excandidato presidencial. El presidente ecuatoriano Daniel Noboa decidió el viernes pasado eliminar de forma sorpresiva el subsidio al diésel. Su medida silenciosa generó, de inmediato, las protestas de transportistas, agricultores y pequeños productores, temerosos de una cadena de aumentos que golpee directamente el costo de la vida. "Al ser el combustible un factor de producción, el incremento de su precio está ligado a toda la economía ecuatoriana", firma Iza Salazar. Y explica que la subida del diésel genera dos efectos inmediatos: "El incremento en el precio de los productos de primera necesidad, sobre todo los industrializados, no los productos de los campesinos. Un segundo efecto inmediato es la especulación, porque las unidades de producción y los vehículos del transporte recuperan el costo de inversión por el incremento en el precio del combustible. Pero, además, en el mercado, por estar en cadena con todo el sistema de producción, lógicamente se desata la especulación", precisa. La protesta se ha extendido a otros sectores sociales y gremiales. El presidente Noboa decretó el estado de emergencia aduciendo grave conmoción interna y, de esta forma, frenó el paro nacional convocado para este lunes. El mandatario también autorizó a fuerzas policiales y militares a desarticular reuniones en espacios públicos que amenacen la seguridad, dijo. "El cambio de sede del gobierno es una provocación" El presidente Noboa también trasladó el poder Ejecutivo a la ciudad de Latacunga, en la provincia de Cotopaxi, donde se concentran las comunidades indígenas más organizadas y combativas. Para el líder indígena, que encabezó en el pasado la batalla contra la eliminación del subsidio al diésel, el traslado del gobierno de Noboa a esta provincia es una provocación. "Venir a una de las provincias que se ha manifestado cada vez que ha habido una decisión de este nivel es un mensaje de provocación. Y a partir de ahí, capaz que intenta controlar la provincia y la sierra centro donde estamos ubicados", sostiene. En opinión de Iza, el gobierno "sale a provocar, pero se esconde con mil policías armados, mil miembros de las fuerzas armadas, del ejército, con tanquetas de guerra, con drones, se encierra en una ciudad. Entonces, creo que hay una planificación militar política alrededor de la decisión de venir a Latacunga". Finalmente, el líder indígena Leónidas Iza denuncia que la medida de supresión del subsidio al diésel adoptada por Noboa se origina en los compromisos de su gobierno con el Fondo Monetario Internacional (FMI). "Lamentablemente quiero decir que no es una decisión del presidente de la República, Daniel Noboa. El 15 de mayo de 2024, el gobierno de Noboa firmó 43 acuerdos con el Fondo Monetario Internacional y en este momento está agachando la cabeza y acatando la imposición del Fondo Monetario Internacional". El gobierno ecuatoriano intenta cumplir con el FMI y, al mismo tiempo, frenar las protestas con bonos compensatorios selectivos y temporales. Pero en Ecuador el combustible no solo es un bien económico, sino un símbolo político. Tocarlo sin consenso es una medida explosiva.

There are only seven accommodations and there is also the family home, as it is still family run The lodge is very beautiful with a bar, restaurant, lounge area, and library The design and style is very beautiful and perfect for those that really appreciate nice design Included activities include milking the cows, biking with a local guide, river tubing, a visit to the cacao plantation, and a chocolate tasting and making workshop Additional activities include horseback riding, cooking classes, and off-site excursions For a Cloud Forest experience, especially if you don't want to go all the way out to the rainforest, Mashpi Lodge is a good option to pair with a visit to Quito or Cotopaxi It takes about two hours to get to Mashpi Lodge and the last hour is on a very rough dirt road and not great if you have neck or back issues Mashpi Lodge is really great for birdwatchers Tamara wouldn't recommend it for families with very young kids as it is pretty active 2-3 nights is perfect for the Mashpi Lodge There are morning and afternoon excursions and you can also opt into a night hike Each evening there are presentations from naturalists or biologists It is an all-inclusive experience with meals and activities (not alcohol or spa services) The Sky Bike gives a "birds eye" view of the Cloud Forest but it is hard work to pedal across the cable Hacienda Zuleta is located in the mountains about 1.5-2 hours from Quito It is a historical, family-run, colonial-style hacienda that offers a very authentic feeling stay This is also an inclusive stay with meals and activities The town is known for embroidery and there is a handicraft market every Sunday Some of the activities include hiking, biking, horseback riding (additional), visiting the Condor rehabilitation center, embroidery classes (additional), visits to the cheese making factory, tours of the kitchen garden and grounds, watching the sheep or cows be milked, and more The food is fantastic at Hacienda Zuleta Tamara also spent two nights at Casa Gangotena in central Quito, which is a fantastic luxury hotel which is well-located in the historic old town Related Episodes Galapagos cruise

We recently talked about Tamara's trip to the Galapagos but today we are talking more about the logistics about traveling to Ecuador and some travel tips. Tamara spent 17 nights in Ecuador, including 5 nights in the Galapagos and found it a warm and welcoming country with beautiful and diverse landscapes. Amazing Ecuador helped Tamara organize her trip. Episode Highlights Most flights from the U.S. come into Quito or Guayaquil It is only 3.5 hours from Miami There are many regions including the Cloud Forest, Rainforest, volcanoes and mountains, National Parks, Galapagos, and more Tamara spent: 5 nights in the Galapagos, 1 night at Hacienda La Danesa, 2 nights in Cuenca, 1 night in Cotopaxi National Park, 3 nights in Quito, 2 nights in the Cloud Forest at the Mashpi Lodge, 2 nights at Hacienda Zuleta It helps to work with someone to figure out your priorities and build an itinerary around your interests Generally you want to spend at least two to three nights in each place Cuenca is a UNESCO heritage city with plenty of outdoor adventure nearby too Cotopaxi is at a higher elevation, making hikes challenging If you just have a week, fly in and out of Guayaquil and do the Galapagos and Hacienda La Danesa Safety - you need to be very careful after dark in Quito and other cities and beware of pickpockets. Don't walk around after dark, especially alone Ecuador uses the U.S. dollar as their official currency but most places also take credit cards but you will want small bills for tipping and the handicraft markets Many of the hotels are all-inclusive with meals and some activities Ecuador is a huge exporter of roses and through some regions you will see many roadside stands of 25-50 roses for less than $5 Tamara recommends getting a driver because the roads are not very well marked, some aren't in the best condition, Google Maps isn't reliable, and drivers are very aggressive There are a range of four star boutique hotels and luxury hotels Ecuadorian food is very fresh and utilizes year-round produce of veggies and fruit Most meals start with a soup and then have a salad or vegetables. Fish and ceviche is quite popular. Quinoa is a popular grain You shouldn't drink the tap water in Ecuador but the produce at good restaurants and hotels are washed in filtered water Guinea pig is also popular in Ecuador as it is in Peru Chocolate and coffee are also grown in Ecuador and very popular Ecuador is the most densely populated country in South America If you have liked Costa Rica or Belize, you will probably also like Ecuador Related Episodes: Galapagos cruise Mother-daughter trip to Peru Winelands of Chile Chile's Atacama Desert

Mike May (founder of Cotopaxi) and CJ Whittaker are building Pingora—join Anna and Kassi to talk about building a brand that actually stands for something. This episode dives into why individuality matters, what accessible aspiration really looks like, and how Pingora is redefining what it means to lead in the outdoor space. One of our favorite lines from CJ: “I don't care what you think I'll like—I want to know what you believe in.” A bold, honest conversation from two founders who know what it takes. #RetailCollective #Pingora #Cotopaxi #BrandWithBelief

Tyler Andrews is a good friend with whom I've done trips with to Peru, Ecuador, and most recently, the Atacama Desert of Chile where we climbed up to almost 20,000 feet.  Ty was a self-described high school nerd musician who went on to be an average D3 cross country runner. After battling depression, Ty dedicated himself to becoming a pro mountain runner, which has seen him set numerous FKTs on some of the most iconic tall peaks in the world, including Aconcagua, Kilimanjaro, and Cotopaxi. One recent FKT in the Himalayas has been commemorated in the very cool short film “9 Hours on Manaslu” that you can watch on YouTube and is definitely worth 27 minutes of your time. To show his breadth, Ty also holds the record for the Leadville Marathon and has run in the U.S. Olympic marathon trials. He is a La Sportiva-sponsored athlete and is founder of the Chaski Endurance Collective, which coaches ultramarathoners. Which all leads us to this riveting WASP appearance, on which we chat about his recent attempts to set the FKT for running up Mt. Everest, both with and without supplemental oxygen. How incredible does that sound? I won't ruin the story for you, but Ty will talk about the what, when, how, and why for this audacious project and all of the logistics and challenges involved. For some really great content that gets very granular about how Ty did this, I highly recommend you go listen to his 21-part podcast series called Ty's Training: Talking with my Dad.  It's fascinating hearing some of the innovative methods Ty used to train for this quest that pushed him harder than he's ever been challenged before. I'm sure you'll love this story.Tyler Andrews:Facebook Tyler Andres AndrewsInstagram and Twitter: @tylercandrewsChaski Endurance Collective:www.chaski.run/linktreeInstagram: @chaski.enduranceBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @we_are_superman_podcastYouTube We Are Superman PodcastPlease support Team Leadville and Warriors' Ascent help prevent veteran suicide!

Architecture After the California WildfiresIn this episode, architect and contractor Marcos Santa Ana shares how his journey—from growing up in a family of artists in Woodstock, New York to launching a design-build firm in Los Angeles—shaped his philosophy on resilient, high-performance architecture. Drawing on his international education in Denmark, Spain, and the U.S., Marcos explains how cultural influences and feng shui principles inform the aesthetic and functional qualities of his work at Alloi. He reflects on launching his firm during an economic downturn and how becoming both a licensed architect and contractor allowed him to bridge the gap between design and construction.The conversation dives into the impact of California wildfires on the built environment and how Marcos is helping redefine architecture in fire-prone areas. He details new fire protection systems, the challenges of rebuilding communities, and the evolution of high-performance design in response to climate realities. His certification from the Passive Haus Institute in Germany reinforces his technical approach to reducing energy loss while improving human comfort.

We already discussed going to the Mindo Cloudforest on the podcast, and now we're talking about Cotopaxi National Park and Banos. Between astounding waterfalls, beautiful flowers, a swing on the edge of the world, and a majestic mountain with incredible wildlife, this is how to spend 1 day exploring Cotopaxi and Banos.   Relevant links: -Valensole Lavender Guide -Sault Lavender Guide -Real Dreams Ecuador Cotopaxi/Banos Tour   Check us out on Substack: Follow for updates, free and paid posts, and exclusive podcast episodes!

Apawki Castro, coordinador del Movimiento Indígena Pachakutik en la provincia de Cotopaxi, explicó a RFI por qué su organización, a pesar de haber acusado durante diez años al gobierno del ex presidente Correa de haberlos sometido a una fuerte represión, ha decidido apoyar ahora la candidata del correísmo, Luisa González para el balotaje frente al presidente saliente de derecha Daniel Noboa. A tan solo dos semanas de las elecciones presidenciales en Ecuador, el movimiento indígena más importante del  Ecuador formalizó su respaldo a la candidatura de la izquierdista Luisa González a la presidencia, lo que marca un giro repentino del grupo Pachakutik.Este apoyo podría ser clave para una eventual victoria de González frente al presidente saliente de derecha Daniel Novoa. En la primera vuelta, en febrero pasado, el mandatario saliente obtuvo una ajustada victoria con un escaso margen de 0.17%.Ecuador, un país con una fuerte presencia de pueblos indígenas, vio como éstos sufrieron una fuerte represión durante la década que duró el gobierno del expresidente Rafael Correa. Varios líderes comunitarios fueron encarcelados y se criminalizaron numerosas protestas pacíficas.Es por esto que ha causado sorpresa y debate este acuerdo de la candidata correísta Luisa González y el Movimiento Indígena Pachakutik. Apawki Castro, coordinador del movimiento en el Cotopaxi, nos explica los motivos de esta decisión."Estamos viviendo una realidad muy compleja. No podemos seguir dejando que la derecha acabe con el país, a pesar de la arremetida que hayamos sufrido [los indígenas] durante los diez años del correísmo. En esta ocasión [el balotaje] no podemos, por odio, permitir que la derecha continúe acabando con el país. Es por eso que se ha decidido apoyar la candidatura de Luisa González", dice Castro.Un acuerdo con 25 puntos Pachakutik, brazo político de la Confederación de Nacionalidades Indígenas del Ecuador (CONAIE), la más importante del país, firmó el acuerdo tras exigir a la candidata de izquierda cumplir con 25 puntos. Apawki Castro evocó algunos de ellos."Uno de los puntos centrales es la moratoria y auditoría a la empresa minera y petrolera. No estamos de acuerdo, obviamente, con el extractivismo. Exigimos el respeto de las consultas populares. Chocó Andino [reserva de biósfera] y Yasuní [el parque nacional en la Amazonía] ya ganaron en anteriores procesos. Hemos pedido asimismo la autonomía e independencia sobre el tema de la educación intercultural bilingüe, la reducción del IVA. Para nosotros es, sobre todo, indispensable que se mantenga la Constitución actual", precisa.Aunque González haya conseguido el apoyo del principal bloque indígena, algunos líderes de pueblos originarios han decidido apoyar al actual presidente, Daniel Noboa. ¿Qué diferencia a los grupos que han decido tender la mano a González?'El movimiento indígena es diverso' "El movimiento indígena del Ecuador es diverso. Por ejemplo, nosotros, la nacionalidad quichua, a veces nos plegamos a esta visión netamente étnica, donde se dice que no existe la izquierda ni la derecha. Pero hay otro sector que defiende una conciencia no solo étnica, sino también de clase. Este sector sabe y reconoce las condiciones humanas, materiales, en las que estamos viviendo y por eso se oponen a quienes están acumulando la riqueza del pueblo ecuatoriano", subraya.Luisa González y Daniel Noboa se verán las caras en la segunda vuelta de unas elecciones altamente polarizadas. El ganador del balotaje tendrá que hacer frente a un país asolado por una ola de violencia sin precedentes generada por grupos narcotraficantes.

Host Philip Berman talks to Maxine Bedat, Executive Director at New Standard Institute, the official sponsor of the Fashion Environmental Accountability Act, a new bill introduced into the California State Assembly at the start of February 2025 which, if enacted, would become the first law in the country to require brands to engage in “environmental due diligence” concerning their products and supply chains.   This Californian Bill is essentially the same as the 'New York Fashion Act' which was introduced into the New York State legislature in 2022 - though it's not yet law - and which is also backed by Maxine, The New Standard Institute and a broad coalition of industry folk including influential names such as, Rothys, Everlane, Reformation, Eileen Fisher, Patagoina, ThredUp, Circ, Vestiaire Collective, Stella McCartney, Ganni, Faherty, Cotopaxi, NRDC, Sierra Club, Canopy, Trove, EVRNU, American Academy of Pediatrics. Full list at thefashionact.org Maxine talks about both bills, their purpose, what stage they have reached in the legislative process. what it's like trying to push through groundbreaking legislation in two states on opposite sides of the US, simultaneously, whether her work has become harder with President Trump in the White House, and how she manages to build broad support with politicians of all persuasions.

The outdoor industry produces a vast amount of products that allow us to experience nature in ways we never could before, but these products can have a detrimental impact on the natural world they're allowing us to access. To help us examine this paradox, we're joined by Annie Agle, VP of Sustainability and Impact at Cotopaxi. Annie discusses the responsibility of companies to give back and reduce their environmental impact. She offers examples of how this is being done by Cotopaxi and others in the outdoor industry, and shares best practices for how all companies can implement more sustainable and ethical business practices.
