De mirador en mirador, la comarca se deja ver. De mirador en mirador, cada semana aquí aparece Xan Ramírez en "Rutas sin GPS", en este espacio que cierra nuestro programa de los viernes y nuestra emisión a lo largo de la semana aquí en Voces de Ferrol. Xan, ¿cómo estás? ¿Qué tal? Buenos días. Xan Ramírez: Estoy... estoy estupendamente como todos los viernes a esta hora, esperando ya que prácticamente es la hora de comer, incluso a lo mejor algún... no sé si tocará un vermutcito previamente. Ya se acabó la jornada laboral, viene un fin de semana regular, regularce te, pero yo creo que mañana va a abrir una ventanita ahí que me va a permitir disfrutar con las... con las raquetitas en los Ancares. Entonces, ¿que cómo estoy? Estupendamente Isidoro. Isidoro Valerio: Bueno, vuelves a Ancares por tanto. Oye, el fin de semana pasado lo clavamos, ni que fuéramos los hombres del tiempo, porque hubo nieve en O Caxado, que era lo que... lo que decíamos. Xan Ramírez: Hombre, hombre, el departamento climatológico de Radio Voz en esta sección... raro que... que a 24 horas por lo menos no lo clavemos. Y decíamos de que la gente no... no fuera al Caxado este fin de semana porque casi seguro que venía nieve y así fue. Ya viste las fotos que había en la prensa escrita, que efectivamente pues estaban los coches por allí con la nieve. No tenemos esos problemas pero, a ver, dijimos son 750 metros de altura y quieras que no, pues esa Sierra de la Faladoira pues siempre es un pequeño problemilla de humedades y demás. Así que lo clavamos. Oye, y te voy a decir una cosa, llegué el lunes al trabajo y un compañero de As Pontes me dijo: "Oye, no sabía yo que aquello era un radar, yo pensé que era un repetidor normal y corriente". Y dije yo: "Vaya hombre, estamos informando a la gente, qué maravilla". [01:21 - 01:46] Memes and Weather Isidoro Valerio: Bueno, está muy bien. Oye, por cierto, que han surgido con esto de que no para de llover, cientos de memes. A mí el que más me ha gustado es: "Quien haya molestado a la Virgen de la Cueva que le pida perdón o algo". Xan Ramírez: (Risas) Hay uno de... hay uno de Davila, este... este que es increíble también, que nuestro Señor se aparece a Noé y le dice que le va... van a llover 40 días y 40 noches, que se haga un acta... y la vieja que está al lado con el paraguas dice: "40 días y 40 noches, ¿dónde hay que firmar?". Isidoro Valerio: Claro, claro. Bueno, en fin, dicen que mañana no llueve, así que a ver si puedes disfrutar tú con las raquetas en Ancares. [01:46 - 04:39] The Route: Mirador da Miranda (Cariño) Isidoro Valerio: Pero hoy nos vas a llevar a la zona de Cariño, a un mirador que tenemos justo encima de Cariño. Xan Ramírez: Pero justo, justo, justo. Porque si... si casi casi si saltas, estás viendo que está Cariño allí casi... lo que nosotros decimos en cartografía "las curvas de nivel", eso que representa la gráfica del terreno, de la pendiente del terreno, es una pendiente tremenda porque está pues en la práctica casi... casi encima. Con lo cual, este tipo de miradores (es lo que pasa, a ver, tenemos la pendiente de la Garita de Herbeira que también yo siempre lo pongo como ejemplo de lo que es la altura sobre el nivel del mar), este tipo de miradores que están casi cortados, pues te da una sensación de muchísimo más de lo que realmente... de lo que realmente son, ¿no? Porque estamos hablando de que bueno, tampoco son tantos metros de altura y sin embargo son sobre 400, 400 y pico metros de altura, que es mucho para estar justo ahí al lado del mar. Y el Mirador de Miranda desde luego es una... una virguería. Isidoro Valerio: Mirador de Miranda, que yo no lo conocía y cuando me has enseñado las fotografías del lugar que hoy nos vas a recomendar, me he quedado impresionado porque la vista es muy, muy, muy bonita. Pero muy bonita, de... probablemente de lo más bonito en miradores que tenemos aquí en la zona, ¿no? Porque estamos... bueno pues en una costa que... que tiene así muchas entradas, que es así como... con muchos vericuetos y la verdad que además por la vegetación que tiene toda esa zona es realmente bonito. Xan Ramírez: Sí, y además es de los sitios que además encima también es accesible en coche, que es otro de las cosas que decimos, ¿no? Que bueno, que a veces hacemos caminar un poquito al oyente de Radio Voz, pero que en estos casos pues te puedes acercar. También es cierto que ojo, que son las carreteras, estas pistas asfaltadas de la Sierra de la Capelada, estamos en esta zona de Geoparque, en ese Cabo Ortegal y quieras que no... pues siempre. Pero que vaya, que no necesitamos grandes esfuerzos para acercarnos hasta ahí. Y sin embargo, pues son esos sitios que son pues prácticamente desconocidos y que sin embargo están... Yo siempre dije que había que hacer una gran guía de miradores de toda nuestra comarca, ¿no? En su día se hizo... se hizo una pequeña donde había participado yo, pero realmente nos falta poner en valor esos sitios, ese landscape que dicen esos los ingleses, ¿no? Ese horizonte, esa vista brutal, porque es lo que podemos vender. O sea, si no vamos a vender nuestro paisaje, no vamos a vender nuestra lluvia. En Santiago sí que la lluvia es arte, pero nosotros aquí la verdad es que no. Xan Ramírez: Y es que se llega fácilmente porque todo el mundo yo creo que conoce esa carretera que va desde Cedeira a Cariño, de San Andrés, que pasa por encima de San Andrés y que baja hacia Cariño por esa canteira enorme que hay allí. Y que me parece que debe ser como la provincial 2205, una cosa así. Pero bueno, y que además si vamos desde Cedeira pues no hay pérdida porque la sigues toda. Pero si vamos desde Cariño, pues o sea... en este caso sería desde Mera hacia Cariño, en ese lugar tan conocido como es "A Pedra" (ya sabe todo el mundo que para ir a Cariño hay que pasar por A Pedra, dice el refrán), pues ese lugar de A Pedra tiras para arriba por esa carretera que... que es absolutamente la misma. Y allí a medio camino, en el kilómetro más o menos 9, tenemos allí dos cruces, uno para la derecha y el otro para la izquierda. Y si venimos... no sé, nosotros tendremos que coger hacia el sur. Estamos metidos en la Sierra de la Capelada, acabamos de pasar por esa cantera de dunita y estamos aquí inmensos en estos... en estas vaguadas tremendas que hay, estos regos en esta zona. Y que bueno, coges esa pista asfaltada que te va llevando por cierto entre mamoas, es decir, entre mamoas e incluso hay algún castro en la zona. O sea que es una zona que siempre estuvo habitada por el ser humano y nos vamos acercando, como punto de referencia, ese punto alto que además tiene un montón de antenas encima, tiene un montón de repetidores, con lo cual pues tampoco tenemos mucha pérdida. Y además encima al llegar allí lo que tenemos pues es un área recreativa de estas tipo merendero, con mesas y demás. Con lo cual pues... a ver, estos días con lo que llueve a lo mejor no es la mejor recomendación, pero la gente que se lo apunte en el podcast y desde luego cuando empiece a despejar un poquito el tiempo es lo que dices tú: la vista es interminable. Isidoro Valerio: Interminable, porque es una vista 360 grados, se ve... bueno, yo la verdad que estoy alucinando porque no sabía de este lugar, pero se ve desde a Serra da Capelada, el puerto de Cariño que queda allí justo como... como si tiras una piedra y cae yo creo que en el puerto, ¿no? Estaca de Bares, el puerto de Espasante, incluso Ortigueira, ¿no? Que lo vemos... lo vemos todo pero con una claridad... Hay que decir que las fotos que luego compartiremos supongo que están hechas en verano, ¿no? Xan Ramírez: Sí, en estos días creo que no hay esa... Porque además, sabes que en la Capelada se mete ese... ese neboeiro, lo que le llaman "o vento da Capelada" y realmente pues se pone aquello horrible y no hay quien aguante porque además encima es un sitio tremendamente frío; al estar tan pegado al mar la humedad te corroe. Y pero sí, o sea, las fotos que adjuntamos ahí a las redes sociales de Radio Voz pues están hechas... bueno, cualquier día de primavera o cualquier día de otoño también pueden ser, evidentemente. Pero la vista es la que dices tú, ¿eh? O sea, estamos colgados justo encima de Cariño, justo encima de ese... de esa zona de A Pedra. Vamos a tener, si miramos hacia Cariño, hacia nuestra espalda vamos a tener todos esos parques eólicos de la Sierra de la Capelada con la Garita de Herbeira justo detrás de nosotros. Hacia el sur vamos a tener toda esa zona de Campo do Hospital que va hacia allá y la zona... hay otra zona también de mirador, bueno no es tanto mirador pero también es una altura, que son "Os Penedos", que también se ve... se los vamos a ver, es uno... unos penedos grandes que hay en esa zona de la Capelada que están más hacia la zona de San Adrián de Veiga, más hacia la zona de Mera. Y luego hacia el norte desde luego tenemos todo el Cabo Ortegal, o sea es una auténtica barbaridad. Que por cierto, si en el cruce ese, en vez de desviarnos para aquí, nos hubiésemos desviado hacia el otro lado, hay una pista de tierra que se mete hacia la costa, es un poquito más ya... más complicada, esa sí que habría que caminar, se puede dejar... se puede ir por tierra hasta un curro que hay allí, una especie de curro para meter el ganado, pero que sales justo al lado contrario de este mirador de Miranda que estamos contando. Estaríamos en los cantiles de Olimo, de toda esta zona del Cabo Ortegal que es Olimo, y que bueno, alucinas también, ¿eh? De pasar alguna foto porque tanto para la derecha como para la izquierda tenemos todos esos farallones del Cabo Ortegal que... que bueno, estás ahí también estás allí cortado a pico sobre el mar en esta parte del Atlántico y alucinas por colores. O sea que es que podemos hacer un día que haga bueno, podemos hacer un entero incluso para pasear con críos y demás que sin problema ninguno quedando alucinaditos con lo que tenemos por allí. [04:39 - 05:05] Closing and Wrap-up Isidoro Valerio: Bueno, terminamos... terminamos ya. He estado, mientras contabas todo esto, leyendo un poquito comentarios que hay en redes acerca del Mirador da Miranda y algo en lo que coincide mucha gente es que la carretera es muy estrecha y está llena de baches. Yo no sé si tú has ido recientemente y esto es así, pero bueno, lo advertimos por si acaso. No creo que sea esta la mejor época para subir allí, ¿eh? Xan Ramírez: Eh... no, evidentemente ya lo decíamos. A ver, carreteras estrechas, ya dijimos que era una pista asfaltada como todas estas que hay por la zona de la Capelada. Todas las carreteras... A ver, también es cierto que la gente que sube a estos sitios es gente tirando un poquito a dominguera... lo de las carreteras estrechas a los que tenemos una conducción en ese tipo de sitios no se nos hace un poquito igual. Y que esté lleno de baches pues ya sabes que depende de cuándo sean las elecciones. Isidoro Valerio: Bueno, pues listo. Ahí queda la recomendación. El que la quiera tomar, que la tome y el que no, pues que se lo pierde. Mirador da Miranda en Cariño, nuestra recomendación de esta semana. Querido Xan Ramírez, que tengas un buen fin de semana en raquetas en Ancares, que el tiempo te acompañe y nos vemos el próximo viernes aquí en Radio Voz. Un abrazo. Xan Ramírez: Un abrazo. Estaremos en otro mirador.

Jaime Davila discusses with Ivan six things which should be better known. Jaime Dávila earned an engineering degree in the United States. Choosing a career in the creative industries, he worked primarily in broadcasting and eventually led operations at Mexico's largest media company. He became intrigued by the creation of the first mechanised sawmill by Cornelis Corneliszoon in 1593. This invention, whose significance has been overlooked, inspired his new book. Find out more at https://thebestpodcastguest.co.uk/jaime-davila/. Mankind's first industrial machine was Dutch. The Dutch invented participatory capitalism. The Dutch were early pioneers of liberal governance in a world of monarchies. The Dutch laid the foundations of industrialization. New Amsterdam's influence on American identity is underappreciated. The world we inhabit was not inevitable. This podcast is powered by ZenCast.fm
With an early focus on cold coffee, energy drinks and a flavor-forward menu, Dutch Bros has established itself as a leader in the increasingly competitive beverage segment. CMO Tana Davila joins the Menu Talk podcast to share how the brand combines menu innovation and hospitality to create a culture that connects with guests. Customization continues to be a key trend valued by consumers, and Dutch Bros has long been at the forefront of that trend. The menu offers a large selection of coffees, lemonades, matcha, smoothies, shakes and the chain's signature Rebel energy drinks, all of which can be customized. Davila describes how limited-time seasonal items are also a big draw, including summer's colorful and refreshing mocktail-inspired drinks and the current line of holiday beverages. And an expanded food program is in test, designed to drive beverage sales and frequency throughout the day. As CMO, Davila also prioritizes the hospitality side. She shares how Dutch Bros' unique service culture is a differentiator and why community engagement is built into its mission. The Dutch Rewards Program also fosters a strong customer connection, she points out.Listen as Davila talks about Dutch Bros' push into the CPG space, how menu innovation is shaping up for the future and the plans for growth as the chain moves East from its West Coast roots.
Story of the Week (DR):Walmart CEO Doug McMillon to retire in January and US operations chief John Furner will take over MMOn February 1, 2026, Mr. McMillon will continue in his capacity as an executive officer of the Company, he will report to the Chairman of the Board of Directors and he will continue to be employed as an associate of the Company through January 31, 2027. Mr. McMillon will also continue his service as a director on the Board until the June 2026 Annual Shareholders' MeetingJohn Furner, 51, a longtime insider and head of Walmart's U.S. operations, will take over. Furner, who started with the company in 1993, has more than 30 years in a variety of leadership roles across all three of Walmart's operating segments, including six years as the head of Walmart's U.S. business.Walmart Announces John Furner as President and Chief Executive Officer and DirectorGreg Penner still chair: Greg is only the third person, after his father-in-law, Rob Walton, and company founder, Sam Walton, to serve in this position.Doug's quotes on stakeholder capitalism:"We simply won't be here if we don't take care of the very things that allow us to exist: our associates, customers, suppliers, and the planet. That's not up for debate.""I think the growing interest in stakeholder capitalism stems from companies genuinely invested in doing good for our world, because it's the right thing to do and because businesses who take this approach are stronger.""Big problems don't rest on the shoulders of government or corporations alone... We need to reinvent capitalism.""Retailers will only survive if their business creates shared value that benefits shareholders and society... Basically, we'll design retail and other businesses so that all stakeholders (as many as possible) benefit: customers, associates/employees, shareholders, the communities we serve, and those in the supply chain."Under McMillon's leadership, Walmart has grown both top-line sales and profits. Its stock price is up 400% over the last decade. McMillon also led significant investments in both technology and labor, which are paying off for the company.Let women (or a black woman) do the work: Compensation Committee, led by chair Carla Harris and Marissa Mayer, are in control of succession planningJapan's Takaichi Says Firms Focusing Too Much on ShareholdersPrime Minister Sanae Takaichi: “I think there has been a trend of too much focus on shareholders. I will revise the corporate governance code to encourage companies to appropriately distribute resources not just to shareholders but to employees.”Takaichi added that she considered the excessive hoarding of capital by firms to be a problem, and said she wanted firms to effectively use it to invest in people including through wage hikes: “I would like to see firms conduct business not just thinking about clients, but also considering their contribution to the broader society.”Disney ditches 'diversity' and 'DEI' in business report for the first time since 2019In the company's 2025 Form 10-K filed after its recent Q4 meeting, the words "diversity," "inclusion," "DEI" or "diversity, equity and inclusion," appeared zero times. While the term "equity" appeared about 130 times, it was only used in a financial context.By contrast, the company's 2024 SEC filing included a dedicated section on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI)."Our DEI objectives are to build and sustain teams that reflect the life experiences of our audiences, while employing and supporting a diverse array of voices in our creative and production teams," the 2024 report read.Initiatives under that DEI section included programs to engage "creative executives from underrepresented backgrounds" and "over 100 employee-led groups which represent and support the diverse communities that make up our global workforce."Earlier this year, Disney also removed two of its DEI programs, "Reimagine Tomorrow" and "The Disney Look," from its 2024 SEC 10-K report. The "Reimagine Tomorrow" program came under scrutiny after a 2022 meeting the program hosted featured a Disney executive touting her "not-at-all-secret gay agenda."A few other Disney headlines this week:Disney CEO Bob Iger wants people to use AI to make their own content for Disney+Disney is losing millions a day in its fight with YouTube TVDisney's CEO Sequel Isn't Having a Hollywood EndingActivist investor pushes Cracker Barrel shareholders to oust DEI specialistActivist investor Sardar Biglari intensified his campaign against Cracker Barrel's leadership, urging shareholders to vote against CEO Julie Felss Masino and board member Gilbert Dávila in the company's upcoming annual meeting.Two major proxy advisory firms, Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) and Glass Lewis, also urged shareholders to vote against one or more Cracker Barrel directors over concerns about performance and the company's controversial August rebrand.ISS and Glass Lewis advised shareholders to vote against Dávila, a marketing and diversity specialist who serves as the chair of the compensation committee. Glass Lewis also recommended a vote against Jody Bilney, who chairs the company's nominating and corporate governance committee.Neither proxy firm recommended ousting the CEO.Biglari has launched eight proxy fights in 15 yearsLetter to shareholders: only one stated reason to get rid of Davila: “And why does Mr. Dávila, the board's so-called multicultural marketing expert who signed off on this debacle, deserve re-election?”Goodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: Should we really blame billionaires for our own financial struggles? In fact, more Americans say yesPeople increasingly see extreme wealth as contributing to an unfair society, and that sentiment is especially high with Gen Z and millennials.Sixty-seven percent said billionaires are “creating more of an unfair society,” an eight-point increase from the 2024 survey. Should the law limit wealth accumulation? Even Republicans have gone up 12% since last year to just under 50%MM: Netflix CTO says the company has no 'formal performance reviews'Assholiest Which Asshole Do You Blame of the Week (MM):Rivian just doubled its CEO's salary and gave him a $4.6B pay packageChair of the Comp committee Sanford Schwartz, who has 2% influence thanks to CEO Robert Scaringe's dual class dictatorship - the 8K announcing the new pay package blames the Comp committee: “On November 6, 2025, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Rivian Automotive, Inc. [...] granted an option to purchase up to 36,500,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock to Dr. Robert J. Scaringe.” They also wrote: “The foregoing summary of the terms of the 2025 CEO Award does not purport to be complete”, so we don't really know what the targets are anyway…Schwartz is an exec at Cox Enterprises - who invested $350m in Rivian in 2022“My hope is with the skills that we have,” says Cox president Sandy Schwartz, “and with all the things that we're learning, that we'll be the chief wholesale remarketer for all Rivians someday.”DR: Robert Scaringe, who, in addition to leading his money losing company Rivian, has Altman/Musked not one, but TWO separate spinoff companies (Mind Robotics, where he's on the board and owns 10% of the company, and does robots, and a “micromobility” spinoff called Also, Inc where Scaringe is Also Also on that board)Scaringe did get not one, but THREE degreesHe once estimated he spent “about 5%” of his time with his wife and three kids - they divorced this yearDual class shares, with which Scaringe can vote out the entire board if they DON'T give him whatever comp plan he wants?Elon Musk, who perfected the art of the meme compensation which this basically copies, but maybe worse?22,000,000 shares (60%) in 11 tranches for meeting share price targets between $40 and $140 per share - MEME IT UP BABY!7,250,000 shares in 3 tranches to make income7,250,000 shares in 3 tranches for cash flowMaybe Scaringe plans on a meme campaign to get that price up, get paid, then use the money on his OTHER new spinoff companiesVerizon to Cut About 15,000 JobsOLD NEW CEO Dan Shulman, who was lead independent director and on the board with the old CEO for 7 yearsHe first penned his welcome memo to employees by saying, “The biggest competitive advantage we have is our team.” He followed it with his first earnings call 20 days later with some more inspiration for employees: “To fund our investments in growth, we must significantly cut costs. We will reduce our cost to serve, streamline our operating model and be much more capital efficient.”Everyone loves hearing “you've been fired so we can be more capital efficient”DR: NEW OLD CEO Hans Vestberg, who is still on the board as a “special advisor”His farewell post said, “I've dedicated my life… the last nine years almost… to Verizon. It's an amazing company, amazing employees.”Vestberg once said in an interview he's been keeping a daily score of his emotional state for more than a decade, and when he scores himself below a certain level, he takes no meetings.I wonder if having your ex-lead director as a human body shield for firing 15,000 humans rates as a 7 out of 10?Chair of the Human Resources Committee of the board, Laxman Narasimhan, who has himself experienced being cut from his job as CEO of StarbucksVerizon employees, for costing too muchActivist investor pushes Cracker Barrel shareholders to oust DEI specialistThe CEO Julie Felss Masino, who is the leader and must have chosen to destroy the company by expanding its reach beyond white, overall wearing octogenarians.The DEI specialist - Gilbert Davila - who clearly DEI'ed the logo since his speciality is DEI and he is brown.Sardar Biglari, the “activist” that no one cares about, since he's pushing to vote against CEO Masino (a woman!) and Davila (a brown man!) using the 40% bot-driven outrage machine online as his excuseSardar's letter to investors on November 6 included this reasoning for voting against Davila, who is a diversity marketing expert and has been on the board since 2020: “And why does Mr. Dávila, the board's so-called multicultural marketing expert who signed off on this debacle, deserve re-election?” - that's it, that's his entire reasoning.Sardar's other winning holdings include Steak n' Shake, Maxim magazine, and Jack in the Box, all very popular and not at all pointlessDR: ISS and Glass Lewis, who not only suggested a vote for Masino but AGAINST Davila (because racism?), but GL actually suggested ALSO voting against Jody Bilney (chair of nom and a woman) - WHO WAS PUT THERE BY SARDAR BIGLARI in 2022Headliniest of the WeekDR: No one leaving New York City because of Mamdani, say two top real estate CEOsMM: Why Palantir CEO Alex Karp exhumed the 'whole yard' of his childhood homeRosebud… sorry, Rosita… his childhood dog. And no, that's not a joke - the dog was named Rosita (not Rosebud) and he wanted to rebury it at his New Hampshire homeThe university professors who owned Karp's childhood home "initially balked" at his request. Ultimately, they agreed, he wrote, and "Karp subsequently made a donation to the university where they taught.""Rosita played a tremendous role in our life," the Palantir CEO said. "It was more like, she's very, very high IQ. It was honestly more like a human than a dog." - also, the dog did NOT graduate from an elite universityWho Won the Week?DR: Jason Turner, a Walmart management associate who made $174k last year and is the brother-in-law of new Walmart CEO John Furner.MM: Shoppers at Costco, because Target just rolled this out:Target launches ‘10-4' training, encouraging workers to smile at customersIf employees are 10 feet away from a shopper, they should smile, make eye contact and wave. However, if they are within four feet of the shopper, they should personally greet the guest, smile and initiate a warm and helpful interactionAs if no one shopping there was the fault of employees not smilingAlso, US, because Trump is investigating getting rid of shareholder voting!PredictionsDR: ISS and Glass Lewis announce a “We Give Up 2026” policy where any director who could be blamed for something because they have black or brown skin gets an automatic “vote against” recommendation. MM: Does a window seat on a plane need a window? United Airlines says not. Yes, United Airlines is arguing against a lawsuit brought by people who bought a window seat but there was no window, that a window seat doesn't literally mean has a window. Prediction: Danone claims its Silk Almond Milk remove the “Contains Almonds” warning from the label and puts out a press release that almond milk does not literally mean almonds, it's more like almond-like-milk-colored-drink.
Greetings everyone, and welcome to another episode of Conversations Spoken in the Dark. I'm your host, Hermence Matsotsa, Transformational Leadership and Career Transition Coach and Founder of uBuntuSpeaks.I created this podcast because too often, the most meaningful conversations — the ones about identity, healing, belonging, and how we live, learn, and lead — are whispered in the dark. They go unspoken, overlooked, or carried as silent burdens. Conversations Spoken in the Dark is a space to bring those stories into the light so we can name them, understand them, and begin to heal — both individually and collectively.In this episode, I'm joined by my dear friend and business partner, Elizabeth (Liz) Davila-Sleigh, an ICF-accredited coach, facilitator, and leadership consultant who helps women lead with intention and balance. Together, we're diving into a topic so many high-achieving women know too well — burnout.We explore how culture, gender norms, and workplace expectations shape the way we experience burnout — and what it takes to move from constant doing to intentional achieving. This is a conversation about rediscovering joy, alignment, and purpose — moving from survival mode to living and leading with clarity.✨ So take a breath, and join us in this honest, heart-centered dialogue.
We're joined in this episode by Goju Ryu expert Sensei Marcus Davila. We talk teaching, training, kata, sparring and whole lot more!It was an absolute pleasure to talk with Sensei Davila and we'll look forward to chatting again soon.

In this episode of The Teacher Think-Aloud Podcast, we sit down with Sara Davila, a self-described “learning alchemist,” to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping education. With her trademark mix of research, theory, and classroom pragmatism, Sara takes us on a journey from the evolution of AI and deep learning to the practical ways teachers can use large language models (LLMs) today.Together, we dig into questions educators everywhere are asking: What exactly can AI do for teachers? How can we use it responsibly? And what frameworks can guide us as we experiment and adapt? Sara shares practical applications—from using AI as a personal assistant to update lesson plans, to managing schedules and streamlining teacher workflows. She also addresses the ethics of AI, the role of professional development, and why experimentation and play are essential in this new era.

One guiding principle for resisting the patriarchy in the United States is to demand equal rights for men and women. Yet, author and multidisciplinary expert Dr. Anna Malaika Tubbs argues that fighting patriarchal culture is more complicated than that. Tubbs believes that this fabricated hierarchy became so deeply ingrained over time that it now goes unnoticed. She outlines the history of patriarchy in the United States along with everything it intentionally conceals. Pulling from her latest book, Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden from Us, Tubbs highlights how the United States has its own unique gendered hierarchy. From the founding fathers to the current Supreme Court justices, from enslaved women to maternal health crises, from the exclusion of women in the Constitution to the continued lack of an Equal Rights Amendment, Tubbs brings together academic research, the stories of freedom fighters, and her own experiences to reveal what is erased. She goes further, showing a patriarchal system that has survived by hiding the tools that are necessary to dismantle it. Resisting a patriarchal system, Tubbs believes, is more complicated than once thought. She argues that humanity in the United States is determined by gender in a limited and flawed binary that is also always tied to whiteness. The first step to dismantling patriarchy is to understand how deeply ingrained it is. The next step, Tubbs says, is telling a different story that highlights everything the patriarchy shrouds, and bringing it back into the narrative. Anna Malaika Tubbs is a New York Times bestselling author and multidisciplinary expert on current and historical understandings of race, gender, and equity. With a Ph.D. in Sociology and a Masters in Multidisciplinary Gender Studies from the University of Cambridge in addition to a Bachelors in Medical Anthropology from Stanford University, Anna translates her academic knowledge into stories that are clear and engaging. Her articles have been published by TIME Magazine, New York Magazine, CNN, Motherly, the Huffington Post, For Harriet, The Guardian, Darling Magazine, and Blavity. Anna's storytelling also takes form in her talks, including her TED Talk that has been viewed 2 million times, as well as the scripted and unscripted screen projects she has in development. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and their three kids. Florangela Davila is a newsroom leader and journalist who has been working in Seattle media for more than two decades. She's earned regional and national awards for her own work as the former race and immigration reporter for The Seattle Times, and has led teams at Crosscut/Cascade PBS and at KNKX Public Radio to accolades, including the 2024 national Edward R. Murrow award for Overall Excellence in the large market radio category. In February, she joined the BIPOC-led and focused online journalism outlet The South Seattle Emerald as executive director. She was born and raised in Los Angeles, the child of immigrants from Colombia and Peru. Buy the Book Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden from Us Elliott Bay Book Company
