Is branding simply marketing, sales and manipulation, or can it go beyond the superficiality into value systems, transparency and even hope? According to this week's guest, branding, is "being". In this Good Garbage episode, Ved Krishna sits down with Raphael Bemporad, Founder of BBMG- a branding consultancy working with companies the world needs. Raphael believes in the ability to use business to create positive change for a more just, equitable and sustainable society. Having worked with huge brands like Nike, Target and PepsiCo (to name a few), Raphael brings to this conversation over two decades worth of expertise from the world of marketing!

What happens when a barber from Florida - turned streetwear entrepreneur - turned content creator picks up a golf club for the first time in 20 years during a global pandemic? He builds one of the most dynamic creative agencies in golf. Osi Umunna, CEO and Founder of The Hole 9, joins host Colin Weston for a raw, unfiltered conversation about how he's bridging the lifestyle and cultural gap between golf brands and the audiences they've been missing for decades. From the Good Good controversy that's shaking the industry to LeBron James' game-changing entry into golf media to the black-owned brands quietly rewriting golf's cultural playbook, this episode delivers the kind of perspective that only comes from someone who's lived on both sides of the fence and decided to build a bridge instead. Whether you're a brand executive wondering how to reach new audiences, a creator trying to find your lane, or just someone who's ever felt like golf "wasn't for you," this conversation will change how you see the game's future. Osi doesn't just talk about the new guard of golf, he's actively building it. Key Takeaways you'll discover: 1. The future of golf belongs to those who build bridges, not walls. Osi explains why brands that only speak to one audience will eventually stall, and how The Hole 9 helps companies scale by bringing in fresh perspectives, tastemakers, and cultural credibility that simply can't be manufactured in a boardroom. 2. The Good Good controversy is a teachable moment about the cost of missing voices. Osi breaks down what went wrong, why Callaway shares responsibility, and how the fallout could have been avoided if more diverse perspectives had been in the room before the content went live. It's a cautionary tale every brand in the creator economy needs to hear. 3. Vulnerability is golf's secret weapon for inclusion. From LeBron shanking shots on camera to Steph Curry's and Michael Jordan's legendary competitive fire, Osi explains why showing the struggle, not just the highlight reel is exactly what makes golf relatable and welcoming to newcomers.

Mulțumim că ne ascultați. Părerea voastră contează pentru noi. Ne puteți scrie aici:Purtăm cu noi un bagaj emoțional pe care ni l-am construit în copilărie: modele de comportament în diversele situații de viață, mecanisme deprinse devreme pentru a face față la tot felul de provocări, mecanisme de apărare, mecanisme prin care încercăm să gestionăm tensiuni, dureri, suferințe. Ce impact are acest bagaj emoțional în relațiile noastre de mai tîrziu, în cuplu, atunci cînd apare un copil în viaţa unui cuplu? Cum ne modelează presiunile sociale ideea de familie? L-am întrebat pe sociologul Gelu Duminică,autorul cărţii „Viața în doi și jumătate. Ce am văzut, ce am preluat și cum să nu repetăm aceleași tipare”, apărută la Editura Hyperliteratura. De ce e important să conștientizăm cum am crescut, ce fel de relație au avut părinții noștri de-a lungul primilor noștri ani de viață, cum am fost tratați de părinți?Gelu Duminică: „Pentru că cei care ne-au decodificat și ne-au învățat cam tot ce se întîmplă în jurul nostru sînt părinții. De la ei am învățat cam tot. Să nu punem mîna pe sobă că e uf, să respectăm, să salutăm, să spunem bună ziua, ce înseamnă iubire, ce înseamnă iertare, ce înseamnă limită sănătoasă. Ce înseamnă violență și ne ducem în zona cealaltă, ce înseamnă tăcerea și așa mai departe. De la ei le-am învățat. Mai mult decît atît, noi le-am învățat mai degrabă din ce şi cum făceau părinţii noştri, nu din ce spuneau. Pentru că de multe ori era o disonanță între ce ne spuneau și ce făceau. Noi, copiii, vedeam mai degrabă ceea ce făceau ei. Mulți dintre noi, sau cvasimajoritatea, nu își doresc să fie ca părinții lor, în foarte multe privinţe. Și discută despre cît de imperfecte, dacă nu chiar bolnave, erau relațiile părinților lor. Și unele dintre ele încă sînt. Presărate cu foarte multă violență. Presărate cu foarte multă singurătate. Unde relația de putere era la ea acasă. Unde frica era confundată cu respectul. Că ne place, că nu ne place, exact ca în experimentul lui Pavlov, noi am fost programați cultural – prin cultură înțelegînd tot ce se transmite non-genetic – să facem lucrurile alea. Dar nu prea le conștientizăm, decît în momentul în care sîntem noi înșine puşi în situația de a intra în relații și în momentul ăla descoperim că în relația de cuplu, devenim mama sau tata, în funcție de context.”Cît de mult din comportamentele noastre şi din felul cum ne purtăm în relaţia de cuplu reverberează în societate?Gelu Duminică: „Toate lucrurile astea, dihonia, cearta, scandalul, tăcerea le vedem în societate. Ceea ce s-a întîmplat zilele trecute în societatea românească are legătură și cu modul în care noi privim conflictul: cu pumnul se rezolvă, în momentul în care nu mai poți. Şi atunci spui: tot tu ai fost de vină, vezi unde m-ai adus!” Apasă PLAY pentru a asculta interviul integral! O emisiune de Adela GreceanuUn produs Radio România Cultural

A doença cardiovascular tende a ser associada a um problema masculino, no entanto, é a primeira causa de morte nas mulheres, muito acima do cancro da mama. Mas, afinal, quais são as particularidades do coração feminino? A cardiologista Cristina Gavina dá a conhecer os fatores de risco que são exclusivos das mulheres e explica porque é que continuam a chegar mais tarde a um diagnóstico. Ao longo da conversa, a especialista fala também sobre a revolução que a cardiologia está a atravessar. As cirurgias de peito aberto estão a dar lugar às intervenções menos invasivas por cateter, a medicação passa a poder ser feita mais espaçadamente no tempo e já decorrem ensaios clínicos em que se modifica o gene associado ao colesterol, um dos principais riscos da doença cardiovascular.E numa altura em que já temos relógios de pulso a monitorizar o coração e dispositivos cardíacos ligados à internet, que oportunidades e riscos trazem as novas tecnologias?Para aprender a ler os sinais, colocar as perguntas certas e agir a tempo, este é um episódio [IN]Pertinente a não perder.LINKS E REFERÊNCIAS ÚTEISBIOSCristina GavinaCristina Gavina é cardiologista, presidente da Sociedade Portuguesa de Cardiologia (2025-2027) e diretora de Cardiologia do Hospital Pedro Hispano (ULS Matosinhos).

The Puritans are often caricatured as grim, joyless and disconnected from modern life. In reality, they offered a rich and deeply practical vision of the Christian faith—one that applied the lordship of Christ to the heart, the home, the church, our work and the wider culture. Nate Wright is joined by Ezra Institute Fellow Jacob Tanner to explore what Christians today can learn from figures such as John Owen, John Bunyan, William Perkins, Richard Sibbes, Jeremiah Burroughs and Samuel Rutherford. They discuss the mortification of sin, joyful contentment, faithful pastoral ministry, resistance to tyranny, the Christian’s vocation and the Puritan hope for the transformation of society through the gospel.

An outside artist does not become effective by knowing everything about a place.Effectiveness begins with recognizing how much they do not know.That idea has followed us from our Building Blocks episode on outside artists, through Eric Gottesman's journey from photographer to collaborator, and into the first part of our conversation with Liz Lerman. Liz calls us toward a more horizontal practice—one in which expertise matters, but does not automatically confer authority.In Part Two, that principle becomes even more urgent. Through her work Wicked Bodies, Liz asks why some knowledge is honored, some erased, and some declared dangerous. She explores witches, cultural humility, aesthetic equity, and the hidden systems that decide whose stories and bodies belong.In this episode, we will learn about:Wicked Bodies — and what witches reveal about power, fear, and whose knowledge counts.Cultural humility and aesthetic equity — practices for entering communities without assuming authority.No singular stories — why meaningful work is built through shared inquiry, relationship, and consent.Listen for what these ideas reveal about entering another community—not as its interpreter or savior, but as a curious, accountable partner.

Você está tentando fabricar o fruto na força do ódio? Nesta série, o Pr. Tico Martiniuk percorre os nove frutos do Espírito de Gálatas 5.22-23 para mostrar que amor, alegria, paz, paciência, amabilidade, bondade, fidelidade, mansidão e domínio próprio não são conquistas do esforço humano: são produzidos pelo Espírito Santo em quem se expõe ao sol de Deus.A série percorre as três dimensões do fruto do espírito: a dimensão da alma, a dimensão do caráter e a dimensão das relações, mostrando como o Espírito Santo transforma de dentro para fora quem se deixa encher por ele.====

Table of Contents: The Banned 2001 Fox News Segment That Suggests Israel/Mossad Involvement in 9/11 Attacks [VIDEO]  Why Few Talk About the Day Before 9/11–One Day Before 9/11: Donald Rumsfeld Admits the Pentagon Lost Track of $2.3 TRILLION [VIDEO]: THAT’S NOT SUSPICIOUS AT ALL!  Stunning Facts About 9-11 Psyop The U.S. Government Has Perpetuated Against Its Citizens Demon Possessed Muslim man shouts “allahu akbar” outside NYC City Hall on the 25th Anniversary of 9/11 In 2001, New York City was a much better place to live than it is now–If you can believe it, all forms of crime were dropping and the murder rate was the lowest that it had been since the 1960s. But today things are much different. Violent predators roam the streets and drug addicts go the bathroom right in the middle of the street. When the pavement gets hot, you can literally smell the urine wherever you go. The new Muslim mayor is also a Democratic Socialist, Muslims conduct huge public prayer services in Times Square, and new mosques are going up all over the city! At this point, approximately 535,000 “undocumented immigrant invaders” live in the Big Apple–No city in the United States has more! The Muslim population has exploded in America since 9/11–The Muslim population is up 145% since 9/11 – Over 5.5 million Muslims are now in America – 59% of adult Muslims in America are foreign born – 202,000 are from Afghanistan – 201,000 are from Pakistan – 119,000 are from Iran – 66,000 are from Yemen – 65,000 are from Syria–As a result, the number of new mosques in America has exploded! Current estimates show the amount of mosques in America somewhere between 3,000-4,000 and growing when you add in prayer rooms and Islamic centers–The answer is mass deportations and an outright ban on immigration from Islamic countries–If we don't stop this now we will end up an Islamic country like where the UK is headed! Mind blowing data: – There been over 65,000 Islam terror attacks since 9/11 across 70 countries – The world's 4 other major religions, Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism and Buddhism make up 2% of all religiously motivated terror attacks – Muslims are responsible for the other 98%–So the world doesn't really have a terrorist problem, the world has a Muslim problem! Lying Virtue Signaling NYC Scum Muslim Mayor Zohran Mamdani says that the real victim of 9/11 was his aunt (who is probably fake) because she was too afraid to ride the subway in her hijab! Footage of a man weeping over the site of his fallen loved one in NYC on 9-11–Contrasted with these two absolute ghouls smiling and laughing–Mamdani and AOC are spotted laughing with each other as people cry while the names of those who died are read during the 9/11 Memorial in New York City! Notorious Demon Poccessed NYC transgender activist freak wearing devil horns rips pages out of a Bible in front of the cops and 911 mourners!

Evan Barker talks about her book, Nothing Left: Confessions of a Democratic Operative that traces her rise from working class roots to consulting on major Democratic campaigns. Her initial enthusiasm during the Obama era turns into disappointment and disillusionment as the party turns away from its working class roots to focus on cultural issues. She addresses all this as well as her vote in the 2024 presidential race and advice for Democrats to recapture working class voters. Evan had a front row seat to the political realignment shaping our politics and her book is the most important of this campaign season to understand what's going on.

When Frank Flores's younger brother Marcelo died suddenly at 23, Frank found himself in an unfamiliar role: identifying his brother's body, navigating paperwork, and figuring out how to bring him home to the U.S. from Mexico. There was little room for grief. Instead, Frank went back to work - and then worked even more. Five years later, Frank's father died during COVID. Once again, grief was crowded out by the bureaucracy of death: bank accounts, debts, paperwork, family responsibilities, and the messy, exhausting task of untangling a life after death. Frank describes this as a "mountain of paperwork stacked on top of our grief." It took years for Frank to recognize how staying busy prevented him from being with his grief. That realization eventually became part of the inspiration for FamiliaLista, a bilingual resource designed to help people organize the information family members need if someone becomes unable to speak for themselves—or after they die. In this conversation, Frank talks about the deaths of his brother and father, the pressure he felt to be strong for his family, cultural discomfort with talking about death, and how he's making more space for grief. He also shares his hope that preparing for death can be understood not as morbid or inviting death, but as an act of love. We Discuss: Frank's relationship with his father and younger brother, Marcelo Being responsible for identifying his brother's body and bringing him home The logistical work that can accompany sudden death The different experiences of an unexpected death and an anticipated death The pressure to be strong and "fix" things for other family members How grief can change and evolve over many years Cultural beliefs and taboos around talking about death The importance of preparing for the practical realities of death Frank's creation of FamiliaLista as a way to help families navigate those realities Reframing end-of-life preparation as an act of love Follow FamiliaLista on IG - https://www.instagram.com/familia.lista

Today's guest, Christopher Freeburg, is the author of Soul: A Brief History of Black Cultural Life (Yale University Press, 2026). This book explores the US history of black cultural life as a history of soul – a spiritual lived practice rooted in communally fostered music, religion, and politics. It makes the case that soul is forged through black community connections and that it's sustained by moral principles, or pillars, which define how it is lived. The book's four chapters are organized around four of these pillars: resonance, revelation, resilience, and transcendence. A number of black individuals are foregrounded in these discussions: they include Phillis Wheatley, Gwendolyn Brooks, Nina Simone, Jewel Thais-Williams, Barack Obama, and others. By telling their stories, and by honoring the weight of the trauma and violence that has long befallen the black community, Christopher Freeburg's Soul invites its readers to commune with the soul power of people who brought about transformation in the face of seeming impossibility. Jane Hwang Degenhardt is Professor English at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She is the author of Globalizing Fortune on the Early Modern Stage (Oxford UP, 2022) and Islamic Conversion and Christian Resistance on the Early Modern Stage (Edinburgh UP, 2012). She is also a co-editor of the academic journal English Literary Renaissance.Support our show by becoming a premium member! https://newbooksnetwork.supportingcast.fm/literary-studies Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Anku Rani, a doctoral researcher at MIT and an MIT Tata Center fellow, joins Gabriella Mirabelli to challenge a working assumption in AI video production: that a better-looking clip is automatically a better clip. Rani built a culture score that separates identity, behavior, and context, then tested it against leading video generation models and against real viewers from nine countries. The results complicate how brands should think about choosing a video model for global campaigns, especially once cinematic polish and cultural accuracy start pulling in opposite directions.

Mao Zedong nació en 1893 en una aldea de la provincia de Hunan. Una época en la que China sufría las humillaciones de las potencias extranjeras y gobernaba una dinastía, la Qing, ya en plena decadencia. Era hijo de un campesino tacaño y violento, al que detestaba, y de una madre budista a la que adoraba. Creció leyendo a escondidas novelas de bandidos y rebeldes que le marcaron mucho más que las enseñanzas confucianas que impartían en la escuela. Tras la revolución de 1911 empezó a leer a los autores occidentales y se formó como maestro en la pequeña ciudad de Changsha. En 1918 se trasladó a Pekín, donde trabajó como auxiliar de biblioteca. Fue en esa época cuando se unió al grupo que fundó el Partido Comunista de China. Frente a la ortodoxia marxista, estaba convencido de que la revolución la harían los campesinos y no los obreros industriales. Tras la matanza de comunistas ordenada por Chiang Kai-shek en 1927 se refugió en las montañas de Jingangshan y abandonó a su esposa Yang Kaihui, que sería fusilada en 1930. Ya entonces era implacable con las purgas dentro de su propio ejército. En 1934, cercados por los nacionalistas, los revolucionarios chinos emprendieron la Larga Marcha. Solo consiguieron sobrevivir entre 5.000 y 8.000 de los 86.000 que habían partido de Yudu un año antes. Mao capitalizó mejor que ningún otro comunista la marcha, se hizo con el control del partido y supo convertir aquel desastre en la epopeya revolucionaria que luego exaltaría la propaganda. Poco después, y a causa de la invasión japonesa de Manchuria, llegó a un acuerdo con Chiang Kai-shek. Se acuarteló junto a sus hombres en Yanan reservó sus fuerzas mientras el Kuomintang ponía los muertos. Se casó con la actriz Jiang Qing y en 1942 puso en marcha el llamado Movimiento de Rectificación, una purga que le otorgó el poder absoluto. Tras la derrota japonesa se reanudó la guerra civil, que terminó en 1949 con la huida de Chiang Kai-shek a Taiwán. El 1 de octubre de ese año proclamó la República Popular desde la plaza Tiananmén. Se instaló en el Zhongnanhai, un complejo de la palacios y jardines junto a la Ciudad Prohibida y allí se rodeó de una corte de aduladores. En 1950 envió tropas a Corea, donde murió uno de sus hijos, ocupó el Tíbet y desató varias campañas de puro terror como la reforma agraria, que costó entre 1 y 2 millones de muertos o la de las Cien Flores, que costó la vida a medio millón de intelectuales. El Gran Salto Adelante de 1958 fue el mayor de los desastres que provocó. Obsesionado con la producción de acero, obligó a instalar pequeños hornos en las casas de los campesinos para incrementar la producción. Las cosechas se desatendieron y pronto cundió la escasez. Eso y una serie de teorías agrícolas absurdas provocaron la mayor hambruna de la historia. Entre 35 y 45 millones de chinos murieron de hambre entre 1958 y 1962. Cuatro años más tarde, en 1966, llegó la llamada Revolución Cultural. Los Guardias Rojos sembraron el terror por toda China en nombre de Mao y de una interpretación rigorista de la revolución. La purga interna dentro del régimen fue de gran envergadura. Incluso sus hombres más cercanos sucumbieron a ella. El culto a la personalidad del conocido como “gran timonel” alcanzó el paroxismo. Pero ya le quedaba poco. En 1972 recibió a Richard Nixon, que quería contrarrestar a la Unión Soviética. Esta sería su última jugada. Enfermo e impedido fue apagándose hasta su muerte en 1976. Su sucesor Deng Xiaoping, que había sido purgado anteriormente, desmontó el maoísmo, pero sin tocar su imagen para salvar al partido y a la propia república popular que ha sobrevivido con mucho a su fundador.

Send us Fan MailSauce Mackenzie is back with another unfiltered Concrete Genius Podcast.First, we get into the wild story of British-Nigerian businessman and influencer Igho “Tiny” Ubiribo, who reportedly died after undergoing a penile enlargement procedure in Thailand. Reports say it was his fifth enhancement procedure—leading to a bigger conversation about male insecurity, cosmetic surgery, confidence, self-love and how far men are willing to go to change themselves.Then we get into Fat Joe, the N-word and the difference between race, culture and behavior. Sauce breaks down growing up in Gary, Indiana, how the Midwest views the word differently from parts of the East Coast, and why Black American culture continues to be debated, commercialized and consumed by people outside of it.From there, the conversation moves into hip-hop journalism, culture vultures, who controls the narratives surrounding Black music and whether Black frustration itself has become profitable content.Finally, Sauce challenges Pablo Torre's continued pursuit of the Kawhi Leonard and Los Angeles Clippers story and asks whether investigative journalism can cross the line into obsession.Raw opinions.

Nos preguntamos junto a Joaquín Estefanía qué noticias de las que hemos contado esta semana serán recordadas o entrarán realmente en la historia.

What does it mean to think Christianly about economics? Dr. Joe Boot is joined by Ezra Institute Fellow David Bahnsen to explore how Scripture shapes our understanding of work, wealth, capital, markets, debt, and human flourishing. Beginning with the creation mandate, they discuss work as an essential part of humanity’s God-given calling—not a necessary evil—and explain how capital and labour can work together to cultivate creation and serve others. They also examine the dangers of socialism, state intervention, consumer debt, class resentment, and the growing hostility toward productive enterprise. Finally, David offers practical principles for building wealth faithfully: rejecting covetousness, embracing productive work, living within our means, creating more than we consume, and seeking not merely to survive, but to thrive for the glory of God and the advancement of his kingdom.

What if what ails us isn't a problem to be solved, but a dimension we've forgotten? Tami Simon speaks with Thomas Moore—bestselling author of Care of the Soul and, at 85, still writing—about his new book, The Cure at Walden Pond. Moore makes the case that Thoreau was never really a naturalist, and that what he found at Walden is the cure our culture is starving for.This conversation offers genuine transmission, not just concepts about awakening, but the palpable presence of realized teachers exploring the growing edge of spiritual understanding together, and it originally aired on Sounds True One.

What is managerialism? Why is the meritocracy sliding into technocracy? Does suffering make us seem more pure?We tend to think that today's progressive politics advances equality through moral awareness and identity. But Catherine Liu argues that it has been captured by the professional managerial class, which replaces material redistribution with virtue signalling and cultural status. In this interview, Liu examines how universities, identity politics and trauma culture can obscure class struggle and what a renewed working-class politics might look like.Catherine Liu is an American cultural theorist, critic, and professor of Film and Media Studies at the University of California, Irvine. A sharp public intellectual, Liu is best known for her incisive critiques of elite liberalism, academic hypocrisy, and the commodification of virtue. She brings together Marxist cultural analysis with polemic flair, offering a compelling—and at times confrontational—challenge to the moral self-image of the contemporary professional class.Don't hesitate to email us at podcast@iai.tv with your thoughts or questions on the episode!To witness such talks live buy tickets for our upcoming festival: https://howthelightgetsin.org/festivals/And visit our website for many more articles, videos, and podcasts like this one: https://iai.tv/You can find everything we referenced here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Dr. Joe Boot is joined by Dr. Stephen Lloyd and Paul Garner of Biblical Creation Trust to discuss the importance of biblical creation for understanding the Christian faith and the gospel. They explore the relationship between creation and redemption, the historical Adam, the origin and meaning of death, and the challenges posed by theistic evolution. They also consider how abandoning a biblical doctrine of creation can affect the church’s understanding of Scripture and the coherence of the biblical story. The conversation then turns to the wider implications of creation for Christian engagement with contemporary culture, including questions of human identity, gender, sexuality, artificial intelligence, and the nature of scientific knowledge. Joe, Stephen, and Paul discuss the need for Christians to recover a confident and intellectually rigorous engagement with science, developing positive models of creation that take both biblical revelation and the evidence of the natural world seriously. At the heart of the discussion is the conviction that creation is not merely the backdrop to redemption, but a foundational part of the Christian worldview and the gospel itself.

Many Christians feel it—but don't know how to name it. Their faith isn't gone, but it's not as strong as it once was. Convictions feel harder to hold. Cultural pressure feels harder to resist. And slowly, belief begins to drift. Pastor Aaron Graham shares from his book, "Unshakable Faith: How to Stand Firm in a Culture of Lies." Aaron mentions "The Screwtape Letters" by C.S. Lewis Check out Susie's podcast God Impressions on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts! Faith Radio podcasts are made possible by your support. Give now: click here
