This week, we're taking a look at the new Amazon Prime Video movie, War Of The Worlds starring Ice Cube, Eva Longoria and Clark Gregg. Ice Cube plays, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officer Will Radford as he works for a government surveillance program that can monitor every person on Earth. His relationship with his pregnant daughter Faith and son Dave is strained due to his use (abuse?) of the program to constantly monitor them. While helping FBI agents try to find a mysterious hacker, known as "Disruptor", meteors begin striking all over the planet. When large machines emerge from the meteorites and start attacking humans, Will and his friend Sandra (Eva Longoria) from NASA conclude it is an alien invasion. Can Will stop spying on his own kids long enough to figure out a way to end the invasion? Tune and and find out how we made fun of this cinematic disaster!

Send us a textWe made it. This is the final episode in the 101 Weight Loss Truths series. After 18 episodes, we've come to the end, and these last three truths are the ones that mean the most to me.Here's what I cover in this episode:99. Have a singular focus and accept that you don't have a choice When I was fighting for my life in a hospital bed, I didn't have the luxury of options. I had to focus. And the truth is, that same kind of clarity is what helped me lose over 200 pounds, and then over a hundred. In this segment, I talk about what it really means to narrow your focus and stop giving yourself a back door to escape through.100. There is no backward, only forward This was the hardest one to record. It's something I used as a lifeline during my recovery and something I still rely on now. When you're trying to change your life, you can't keep looking over your shoulder. You've got to deal with where you are now and figure out what to do next. The past matters, but it doesn't get to decide your future.101. You've totally got this I say it every week, and I mean it every time. Whether you believe in yourself or not, I believe in you. You can do this, even if it's hard, even if you've failed before, even if you're not sure where to begin. You don't have to be perfect. You just have to keep going.Thank you for coming with me through all 101 truths. This series might be over, but your journey is just getting started.Looking for help on your weight loss journey?

Interview with Shaun Bunn, Managing Director of Empire Metals Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/empire-metals-loneee-colossal-titanium-discovery-set-to-revolutionise-global-supply-6918Recording date: 21st August 2025Empire Metals (LON:EEE) is rapidly developing its Pitfield Titanium project in Western Australia, positioning itself as a potential disruptor in the global titanium industry. The company has achieved a significant technical breakthrough by producing titanium dioxide at 99.25% purity with minimal contaminants, demonstrating the exceptional quality of its ore body without even having a mineral resource estimate in place.Managing Director Shaun Bunn recently outlined the company's strategic progress, highlighting how Pitfield's unique anatase-rich ore offers superior processing economics compared to traditional ilmenite operations. "The anatase doesn't need as much acid to digest as ilmenite. There's no iron to break down and no disposal issues relating to the disposal of that iron," Bunn explained, emphasizing the environmental and cost advantages.Following completion of their largest drilling program to date—180 drill holes totaling 10,000 meters at the Thomas Prospect—Empire Metals expects to release its maiden mineral resource estimate by early Q4 2025. The focused drilling approach prioritized high-confidence resource blocks that can support immediate mine planning, with recent results delivering grades of seven to eight percent.The project's strategic advantages extend beyond ore quality. Located in Western Australia's tier-one mining jurisdiction, Pitfield benefits from proximity to infrastructure, renewable energy access, and world-class technical expertise. The company has raised £4 million from strategic investors to fund development through critical phases including metallurgical testing and early piloting operations planned for 2026.Empire Metals' product optionality represents a key differentiator, enabling production of various titanium products from traditional pigments to high-value metal precursors for aerospace and defense applications. "The optionality that we can get from this ore body is amazing," Bunn noted, positioning the company to serve multiple high-value market segments while benefiting from government support for critical minerals development in Australia.View Empire Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/empire-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Send us a textWe're in the home stretch of the 101 Weight Loss Truths series with part seventeen. I'm breaking down four more powerful truths that get right to the heart of sustainable, long-term weight loss.Here's what we cover this week:95. There's no place for perfect in weight loss Trying to be perfect with your eating, tracking, or mindset might sound like commitment, but it's actually just self-sabotage in disguise. I talk about how perfectionism kept me stuck for years and why dropping the expectation of doing it "right" all the time was one of the most freeing things I've ever done.96. Breed. Build. Become. This is one of the core concepts from inside my program. I explain what it means to breed new habits, build them up through repetition, and become the person who just does them. If you've ever had a habit crumble like a sandcastle at high tide, this one's for you.97. Keep your eyes on your own scale Comparison will wreck your momentum faster than any dessert ever could. I walk through what it really costs when we compare our weight loss to others, and why it's so important to stay focused on your own journey instead of someone else's highlight reel.98. Consistency not intensity Intensity feels sexy. Consistency actually works. If you're tired of starting over every Monday, this truth might be what helps you finally stop. I explain why sustainable weight loss demands a long game approach, and why you need to be able to keep going far more than you need to go hard.Next week, I'll be back with the final three truths. They're big ones. And yes, there's a decent chance I'm going to cry.Looking for help on your weight loss journey? I've created a couple of resources:• My NEW Membership Community Flamingo Forum!

Send us a textWe're officially in part sixteen of the 101 Weight Loss Truths series, and in this episode, I'm walking you through five of the biggest, most foundational truths of the entire list.This one isn't just about food. It's about your relationship with food. Because let's be honest, it's never just about the calories or the macros. It's about your habits, your patterns, your triggers, your nostalgia, your rituals, and your Gladyses.Here's what we're covering today:WLT 90: What You Eat Matters Not just for your body, but for your heart, your memories, your grief, your cravings, and your comfort. It's about calories and connection.WLT 91: Who You Eat With Matters Even if it's just you and your inner Gladys. People, past or present, impact our choices in ways we don't always realise.WLT 92: When You Eat Matters Calories don't tell time, but your brain and your habits sure do. This one is about timing, triggers, and figuring out what works for you.WLT 93: Where You Eat Matters From the car to the couch to the fridge door, your environment has more influence than you think. If you've ever inhaled snacks standing in your kitchen, this one will hit home.WLT 94: How You Eat Matters Fast? Distracted? Ritualistic? Guilty? Comforted? However you do it, your method matters. And it tells you a lot more than you think.I also share a few of my personal weird food quirks (yes, including the hot dog thing) and why I still keep some of them around, but with boundaries. These five truths make up a huge part of the foundation of my 53-week program, and they're part of what helped me rebuild my relationship with food from the ground up.Looking for help on your weight loss journey?

Send us a textEnter the bizarre world of "War of the Worlds 2025," where product placement and alien invasion collide in what might be the most gloriously terrible sci-fi film of recent years. Join us as we unpack this Amazon Prime spectacle that had us laughing harder than any intentional comedy could.At the center of this disaster is Ice Cube as Will Radford, a government surveillance analyst who can hack into anything on Earth—except, apparently, the door keeping him trapped in his office during an alien invasion. While meteors rain down and tripods emerge from the ground, Will's primary concern remains spying on his pregnant daughter and gamer son, much to our bewilderment and amusement.The film reaches peak absurdity when Will needs to upload a virus to defeat the data-eating aliens (yes, they eat data), but can only receive the necessary thumb drive through an Amazon Prime Air delivery—which requires placing an actual Amazon order first "because protocol." When a homeless man is convinced to help the mission in exchange for an Amazon gift card, we knew we'd reached cinematic rock bottom.From Ice Cube's emotionless "oh" upon seeing his daughter's blood-soaked empty Tesla to the son's revelation as the mysterious hacker "The Disruptor," every scene delivers fresh waves of unintentional comedy. The climactic solution involving a "cannibal code" that makes the aliens consume themselves perfectly caps this monument to illogical storytelling.Whether you're a connoisseur of terrible cinema or simply need a good laugh, "War of the Worlds 2025" belongs in the hallowed halls of so-bad-it's-good classics. Have you experienced a movie so delightfully terrible it became entertainment gold?

Send us a textIn this episode, I'm digging into Truths 85 to 89 of the 101 Weight Loss Truths series. Five more uncomfortable but important truths that can change the way you think about weight loss.Here's what I cover:85 – You can lose weight for whatever reason you wantNo, really. You don't need a Gladys-approved noble cause to justify it. If it's about your jeans, your confidence, or your desire for a thigh gap, go ahead and want that. Your reason is valid.86 – Loose skin happens but it's better than the alternativeLet's stop pretending this isn't part of the conversation. Yes, loose skin is real. Yes, it can be frustrating. But I promise you, it's better than the complications of carrying excess weight. I'd never trade my loose skin for the weight I used to carry.87 – Safety nets help you soarRules make us rebel. Safety nets help us fly. I explain how reframing your weight loss ‘rules' as supportive safety nets gives you freedom instead of resistance. I'm talking practical examples, from eating with the fridge open to meal prepping after stressful phone calls.88 – Meet yourself where you areYou can't jump off at the 1200 calorie stop if your train isn't there. This one's all about honesty. Real progress starts with knowing where you actually are, not where you wish you were. No more unrealistic overhauls. Just small, honest, sustainable steps.89 – Tracking a binge is always better than not tracking itThis one's tough but it's powerful. Avoiding the number doesn't make the binge disappear. It just lets guilt and shame spiral out of control. You need a baseline, and you need data. You can't do better next time if you don't even know what “better” looks like.This episode is a mindset shaker so brace yourself, Gladys.Looking for help on your weight loss journey?

  In this dynamic episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, I sit down with Ted Santos—founder of Turnaround Investment Partners—for a powerful conversation on leadership, disruption, and transforming companies from the inside out. With over two decades of experience turning around distressed businesses and scaling organizations growing faster than they could handle, Ted brings a wealth of insight. He shares his early leadership journey as a COO in the transportation and translation sectors, where he radically improved operations by shifting culture and introducing new service lines. One standout story: how his lack of industry knowledge in translation actually became his superpower. Ted spearheaded cultural translation services for websites—an innovative leap that reshaped how companies approached global communications. That sparked a familiar theme for me. I reflected on my own healthcare leadership journey—stepping into the industry without direct experience. Sometimes, not knowing “how it's always been done” is exactly what's needed to drive game-changing innovation. Reimagining Growth Through Diverse Lenses We explored how bringing in external perspectives—whether from different industries, cultures, or life experiences—is a powerful way to break the echo chamber of internal assumptions. I shared a story from my days running a multicultural healthcare clinic, where dialogue and inclusion—not rigid policies—became the key to navigating cultural complexity and driving operational excellence. Ted offered insights on his disruption framework for organizations, helping leaders embrace volatility and turn it into a strategic advantage. Discomfort as a Catalyst for Innovation Ted and I went deep into why organizations must learn to disrupt themselves before the market does. Drawing on both history and personal experiences, Ted cited icons like Rockefeller and Ford, reminding us that lasting innovation doesn't come from comfort zones—it comes from shaking them up. As leaders, we must be willing to challenge norms, ask uncomfortable questions, and reinvent systems. I added some examples from my own path—like pivoting to virtual events long before it became a necessity—and how that foresight unlocked unexpected growth. Leading With Boldness in a Changing World Ted laid out a compelling case for what he calls "disruptive leadership"—the ability to invent new possibilities and even “create problems” that force organizations to stretch. We discussed how leaders must confront blind spots (both personal and organizational), embrace continuous learning, and build the muscle to delegate strategically if they want to scale sustainably. Owning Your Narrative: Responsibility and Reinvention We closed on a deeply personal note—how early life experiences shape behavior, and how owning your story is the first step in transforming it. Ted and I unpacked the role of ego, unconscious patterns, and the necessity of unlearning behaviors that no longer serve our leadership. It's a conversation about growth, yes—but more importantly, about responsibility. Innovation isn't just about ideas—it's about the inner work we do to lead ourselves and others through disruption. Connect with Ted Santos: Ted's work is ideal for organizations navigating rapid change or seeking bold new strategies. If you're looking to challenge your current trajectory, this episode is your invitation to start. Ted Santos is the ultimate “Disruptor of Limits”—a bold strategist who trains and develops  CEOs and executives to stop solving problems and start creating them to fuel breakthroughs that redefine industries.   As the creator of the Disruptive Leadership Model, Ted flips conventional wisdom on its head, proving that chaos isn't a threat—it's the catalyst for transformation. With a track record of turning impossible visions into unstoppable growth, Ted challenges leaders to think bigger, act bolder, and turn uncertainty into opportunity.   Whether he's helping businesses scale without breaking or reshaping corporate cultures to thrive under pressure, Ted is the go-to expert for leaders who refuse to settle for incremental growth and are ready to disrupt their way to dominance.

Your Stupid Minds jumps right on the zeitgeist to cover possibly one of the worst movies of 2025. Released just a week ago on Amazon Prime Video, War of the Worlds (2025) asks the question "have you ever wanted to see the classic H.G. Wells story adapted into a 90 minute Microsoft Teams meeting?" And the answer from the public is a resounding "NO!" We should also note this movie was shot in 2020 using COVID protocols, and it shows. William Radford (Ice Cube) is NSA's only employee. When he isn't using government resources to spy on his daughter Faith's (Iman Benson) fridge, or uninstalling Counter-Strike from his son David's (Henry Hunter Hall) Steam account, he's trying to catch a hacker known as "Disruptor." He thinks he's pinpointed his location by copy/pasting his IP out of his YouTube video's source code (lol) and a task force comes to a building to take him down. Of course, if you've seen the title of this movie, you know none of this matters, because aliens invade and blow up a bunch of landmarks with meteors. The invaders are after data, trying to suck out all the data from the world's servers so they can become more powerful. With the help of his family and NASA friend Sandra (Eva Longoria), William uses all the apps available to him to save the world. Of course, he needs a little help from Faith's boyfriend Mark (Devon), an Amazon driver who uses his elite delivery skills to send William a flash drive packed with alien-killing viruses to his location using a drone. Did we mention this movie is on Prime Video? Will they save the world? Will Mark get promoted to a golden pee bottle? Will you throw up from the camera swirling across a computer screen at 3,000 miles per hour? You'll have to listen to find out! But please don't watch the movie.

Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ Step into a modern screenlife freak-out with War of the Worlds (2025), a bold—and deeply flawed—adaptation of H.G. Wells' classic, reimagined through the lens of today's screen-obsessed world. Directed by Rich Lee (screenlife visionary), the film stars Ice Cube (Friday, Ride Along) as Will Radford, a DHS cyber-threat expert whose dystopian measures include surveilling his own children. Eva Longoria (Desperate Housewives, Harriet) plays his NASA friend, Dr. Sandra Salas. The cast also includes Clark Gregg (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) as DHS Director Donald Briggs, Iman Benson as Faith Radford, Henry Hunter Hall as hacker son Dave (aka “Disruptor”), Devon Bostick as Faith's boyfriend & heroic Amazon Delivery Driver Mark, Andrea Savage as FBI agent Sheila, and Michael O'Neill as the Secretary of Defense. Set entirely on computer screens and video chats—a hallmark of the screenlife style—the film throws Will into chaos when alien tripods invade Earth and unleash insect-like creatures that feed on data. As glitches mount and his children's lives hang in pixelated balance, Will uses his kid's hacking know-how and high-tech warfare, including Amazon delivery drones, in a bizarre bid to save humanity. With a rare 0% Rotten Tomatoes score, this new adaptation has soared to #2 on Prime Video's top 10 list (then down to #4 as we were watching this lol) based on sheer word of mouth alone as critics & audiences alike boggle at its sloppy execution, product placement overload, and hollow sci-fi scaffolding. Join us as we break down the streaming anomaly: everything from its sci-fi themes of surveillance and data warfare, to its frame-by-frame disasters, cringe-worthy product tie-ins, and Ice Cube's bizarre heroics in a technocratic alien apocalypse.

Send us a textIn this episode, I'm digging into Weight Loss Truths 77 through 80 and this one's for anyone who's ever talked down to themselves over a slice of pizza or who thinks Monday is the only day that counts.Here's what I cover in this episode:77. You have to change the way you talk to yourself about food If the words “cheat,” “treat,” or “junk” are in heavy rotation, this one's for you. Language matters. The way you talk to yourself about food is often just a mirror of how you talk to yourself in general and I want to help you spot it and shift it.78. You have to change the way you think about food If pizza still feels like a moral failing and kale feels like penance, we need to talk. You're not going to get anywhere sustainable if your thoughts around food are still swinging between punishment and reward. I'm not aiming for food euphoria here I just want you to get to food neutrality.79. Weigh yourself once a week Yes, I said it. Once. A. Week. Not daily. Not “whenever you feel curious.” The scale can help or it can destroy your motivation, depending on how often you're stepping on it.80. Do it on a Wednesday Wednesdays don't carry the emotional baggage that Mondays do, and they give your body time to recover from weekend sodium overload. It's the most emotionally and physiologically neutral day of the week so let's give poor little Monday a break and make Wednesday your weigh-in day.This episode is all about self-talk, mindset, and finding a rhythm that actually works for you — without letting food or the scale ruin your week.Listen to this episode if:You're caught in a guilt/shame spiral with foodYou weigh yourself constantly and feel discouragedYou still think of food as “good” or “bad”You want a more sustainable (and sane) way to approach weight lossMentioned in this episode:Why cheat day language is so dangerousThe importance of food neutralityMy own experience giving the scale to my mother-in-law (yes, really)Why salt might be lying to you on Monday morningsIf you've been blaming pizza or the scale for your setbacks, this episode iLooking for help on your weight loss journey?

Dive deep into the transformative power of AI in India's consumer app landscape. In this episode of Zero to Infinity, Avnish Bajaj, Chandrasekhar Venugopal aka CV, and Kishan Kashyap break down:  ✅ Why ChatGPT is AI's MS‑DOS moment and what comes after  ✅ How token costs dropped 1000x in a year (and why Sam Altman calls it the “new Moore's Law”)  ✅ The Disruptor–Digitizer–Enabler framework for founders building in consumer tech  ✅ Why QuickCommerce for “X” (fashion, pharma, events & more) is the next frontier  ✅ And why India's rails: UPI, Aadhaar, WhatsApp—mean everything is aligned for founders After tracing India's growing consumer instinct in Part 1, this segment explores what happens when that intuition meets AI and what gets reimagined when UX, infra, and distribution evolve together, not sequentially. Whether you're an early‑stage founder, an operator, or just AI‑curious, this conversation will spark ideas on what to build next.

How do you keep innovating and disrupting when you're already the incumbent? And how do you prevent a $200B+ company from becoming slow and complacent? In this episode, CJ is joined by Sandeep Aujla, CFO of Intuit, who shares how one of the world's largest software companies continues to operate with the agility of a startup. With QuickBooks, TurboTax, Credit Karma, and MailChimp all falling in the Intuit family tree, serving both consumers and businesses, Sandeep breaks down the company's platform strategy, explains how he tells a unified story across these product lines, and describes how he prioritizes capital allocation. He also talks about Intuit's efforts to leverage AI to improve internal efficiencies, insights into the ideal CFO-CTO relationship, tactics for saying no, the benefits of letting stuff break, and how finance helped uncover a major growth opportunity for Intuit in the mid-market. The conversation touches on the company's 25 golden metrics, why leap years and the Super Bowl affect revenue, and the lesson Sandeep learned from a $2 coffee.—LINKS:Sandeep Aujla: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aujla/Intuit: https://www.intuit.com/CJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222Mostly metrics: —TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) Preview and Intro(02:30) Sponsor – Pulley | Brex | Aleph(07:11) Sandeep's Career Journey at Intuit(09:41) The Stigma Around CFOs and Seriousness(11:01) Being the Disruptor When You're Already the Incumbent(14:04) Intuit: Software, Payments, or Services Company?(15:21) Sponsor – RightRev | Navan | NetSuite |(19:00) The Intuit Family Tree(20:14) Cross-Platform Network Effects(21:54) Telling a Unified Story Across Multiple Product Lines(25:24) How Finance Discovered a Mid-Market Growth Opportunity(28:56) Reducing Churn by Keeping Customers on Platform(31:04) How Small Businesses Are Evolving To Leverage Tech and AI(34:11) How Sandeep Prioritises Capital Allocation(37:17) Tactics for Saying No Gracefully as a CFO(39:39) The Benefits of Letting Stuff Break(43:10) Reinvesting Across the Business: Consumer Versus Business(45:36) The CFO-CTO Relationship in the Age of AI(49:45) Tracking Intuit's Target for Internal AI Efficiency(52:06) Surprising Usage Patterns: Leap Years, Game of Thrones, etc(53:15) The Different Use Cases for AI Internally(55:48) The 25 Golden Metrics That Matter(58:45) Leap Years and Other Surprising Things That Impact the Business(1:00:04) Long-Ass Lightning Round: A Deadline Mistake(1:02:04) Advice to Younger Self(1:03:48) Finance Software Stack(1:04:36) A Bonus Question: Printed Notes(1:05:17) Craziest Expense Story—SPONSORS:Pulley is the cap table management platform built for CFOs and finance leaders who need reliable, audit-ready data and intuitive workflows, without the hidden fees or unreliable support.

There Are No Fat Absorbing FoodsThis one goes deep and a little sideways.I'm diving into self-sabotage—why we all do it, how sneaky it can be, and what it looks like when you're the one putting the donuts in the cart or making that “harmless” call to your mother you know is going to end in chips and chaos.Then I talk about the one truth that nobody wants to hear but everybody needs: the only way to make it stop is to keep going. You want the noise to quiet down? You want the weight loss spiral to end? You have to push through it. Because stopping just brings the pain right back.We also get into the reality that nobody loses weight in a straight line. Not even the Gladyses. It's bumpy. It's annoying. It's normal. And yes, sometimes the scale is rude. We're not shocked.And finally? There are no fat-absorbing foods. Sorry. No soup, no rice, no magical tea is going to soak up your chips and send them to calorie purgatory. That's not a thing. Not even a little bit.Looking for help on your weight loss journey?

We brought a surprise guest to our LIVE TBOY show in Chicago: Chris Barman, CEO of the wildest (and newest) electric car brand.Jeff Bezos invested, and Chris is leading it. Slate's not just building the lowest-priced electric truck on the market ($25K), it's also the craziest: No radio, no touchscreen, no tech whatsoever. We (jokingly) call it the “Amish-Inspired Electric Car.” And she built hype for the launch by creating a bunch of fake companies (true story).So in today's interview from our live Chicago show, Chris explains how it's possible to build and sell a car for $25. She'll tell us the craziest idea they *didn't* launch, why they crash half their vehicles on purpose, and what she thinks of President Trump's EV moves.Want to SEE the live show in action?

Empezamos el mes de julio con la alegría de saber que las vacaciones de verano están más cerca, por lo menos para mí. Si no se produce ningún cambio de última hora, el viernes 25 será mi último día de trabajo. Y, en principio, estaremos cuatro semanas en España. Así que, estoy deseando que llegue ese momento. Espero que tú también tengas tiempo para relajarte y disfrutar durante estos meses. Mientras tanto, seguimos hablando de temas interesantes, como el que vamos a tratar hoy gracias a la noticia que he seleccionado para ti. Esa información habla de los microplásticos. No sé si alguna vez te has planteado de dónde provienen los microplásticos que podemos encontrar en el mar, en los alimentos o, incluso, en el aire que respiramos. Bueno, pues vamos a profundizar un poco en ello antes de escuchar la noticia. En primer lugar, los microplásticos son partículas de plástico extremadamente pequeñas, de menos de 5 milímetros de tamaño, que están presentes en muchos espacios de nuestra vida sin que nos demos cuenta. Este problema comenzó a aparecer junto con el auge o el aumento de los plásticos de un solo uso y también con la utilización de nuevos materiales sintéticos. Muchos microplásticos están formados por el deterioro de plásticos más grandes, como botellas, redes de pesca o envases. El sol, el aire, el paso del tiempo y el oleaje deshacen esos objetos de plástico en partículas cada vez más pequeñas. De esa forma, sin que podamos verlos, porque son muy pequeños, esos microplásticos llegan a los ríos, a los lagos, a los mares… y entran en la cadena alimentaria de animales marinos, peces y, finalmente, de los seres humanos. Pero el problema va más lejos: el microplástico también se desplaza en suspensión en el aire, aumentando así nuestra exposición a esas partículas diminutas. Lo que más preocupa a los científicos es que junto a los microplásticos viajan otras partículas de sustancias tóxicas, como metales pesados, pesticidas o compuestos que interfieren con el funcionamiento de nuestro organismo, de nuestro cuerpo. Además, según cuentan los expertos en la materia, el microplástico tiene una extraordinaria resistencia a la degradación, así que permanecerá en el medio ambiente mucho más tiempo que nosotros mismos, aumentando así el problema de generación en generación. Pero todo esto no significa que el problema no tenga solución. Hay soluciones. Por ejemplo, la reducción del plástico de un solo uso, el reciclado, el apoyo a nuevos materiales más sostenibles y el compromiso de empresas, gobiernos y ciudadanos pueden marcar una enorme diferencia. Recuerdo que hace años en España se prohibió regalar bolsas de plástico en los supermercados. Antes era lo normal. Aún así, casi todos los alimentos que compramos están envueltos en plástico, y cada semana llenamos bolsas y bolsas de basura con esos plásticos. Este es un tema que nos afecta a todos, y que podemos solucionar si trabajamos juntos para buscar alternativas más respetuosas con el medio ambiente y más seguras para nuestra salud, que es lo más importante que tenemos, porque sin salud no se puede disfrutar de la vida. Dicho todo esto, ya estamos preparados para escuchar la noticia de Radio Nacional de España. Aparecen cuatro voces distintas, algo que siempre nos gusta mucho, ¿verdad? En este caso, son el presentador el informativo, el periodista que amplía los datos y dos médicos. Así que, presta atención durante los próximos segundos para no perderte ningún detalle. Aquí va. “En este Congreso se habla de los retos sanitarios de la sociedad y uno de ellos, ustedes lo saben bien, son los microplásticos. Se cuelan en los alimentos y provocan efecto en nuestro cuerpo. Luis Vallés, ¿cómo lo hacen? Buenas tardes. Buenas tardes. Hay que tener en cuenta que ingerimos al año entre 78.000 y 200.000 partículas de microplásticos y estamos expuestos a 12.000 sustancias químicas del envasado de medicamentos, alimentos y compuestos del medio ambiente. Y esto puede provocar cambios hormonales en nuestro organismo, sobre todo en etapas críticas como el embarazo, la infancia o la pubertad. Puede haber alteraciones endocrinas, efectos cancerígenos, enfermedades respiratorias, etc. Para reducir riesgos, los expertos quieren cambiar el paso y apuestan por envases de vidrio. Eso elimina de raíz cualquier vestigio de material orgánico, como son estos disruptores hormonales, que son siempre materiales orgánicos. Desde aquí, pues, consejo de salud pública. Si son de llevarse la comida al trabajo... ...Vamos a promover el uso, por ejemplo, de un táper de cristal pues antes que un táper de plástico. Así cuidamos de nuestra salud.” Si no estoy equivocado, la palabra táper viene de una marca comercial que se vende en un centenar de países de todo el mundo. Y bueno, aunque aparece al final de la noticia, si no te importa, esta vez voy a empezar por ahí. El táper es un recipiente, normalmente de plástico o de vidrio, usado para llevar o guardar comida. Ejemplos: Me llevo la comida al trabajo en un táper. Es mejor usar un táper de cristal para calentar en el microondas. Y ahora volvemos al comienzo de la noticia para hablar de los retos. Un reto es un desafío, algo que resulta difícil y que exige esfuerzo para superarlo. Ejemplos: El cambio climático es el mayor reto de nuestra época. Aprender un idioma nuevo es un reto apasionante. Pasamos ahora al verbo colarse, que en este contexto significa introducirse o pasar sin ser visto o sin permiso. Ejemplos: Los microplásticos logran colarse en los alimentos que comemos. El agua de lluvia puede colarse por las rendijas de la ventana. Otro verbo, ingerir. Significa tomar algo por la boca, tragarlo. Ejemplos: Es peligroso ingerir alimentos en mal estado. Cada día ingerimos agua y nutrientes necesarios para vivir. En cuanto a la palabra envasado, se refiere a meter algo en un recipiente o envoltorio para conservarlo. Ejemplos: El envasado de los medicamentos debe garantizar su seguridad. Prefiero comprar productos frescos en lugar de alimentos envasados. Vamos ahora con algo muy serio, los cambios hormonales, que son las variaciones en los niveles de hormonas que pueden producir efectos en el cuerpo. Ejemplos: Durante la pubertad hay muchos cambios hormonales. El embarazo provoca cambios hormonales importantes en las mujeres. Y otro de los efectos de los microplásticos son las alteraciones endocrinas, o sea, problemas o cambios en el funcionamiento de las glándulas que producen hormonas. Ejemplo: Las alteraciones endocrinas afectan al crecimiento y al metabolismo. Luego encontramos la expresión cambiar el paso, que significa modificar la forma de actuar, tomar un nuevo rumbo. Ejemplos: Ante la crisis, las empresas deben cambiar el paso y buscar nuevas soluciones. Los expertos proponen cambiar el paso en el uso de plásticos. La siguiente palabra creo que la conoces. El vidrio es un material duro, frágil y transparente que se usa, por ejemplo, para hacer botellas o ventanas. Es como el cristal, pero algo más resistente. Ejemplos: Prefiero los vasos de vidrio a los de plástico. Los envases de vidrio son más ecológicos. Por otra parte, el término vestigio significa rastro o señal que queda de algo que ha desaparecido. Ejemplos: No quedó vestigio del edificio antiguo tras el derribo. El uso de vidrio elimina cualquier vestigio de microplásticos. Y, por último, un disruptor hormonal es una sustancia que altera el funcionamiento normal del sistema hormonal. Algo es disruptor cuando produce un cambio grande, cuando interrumpe el funcionamiento normal de algo. Ejemplos: Algunos plásticos contienen disruptores hormonales. Los disruptores hormonales pueden afectar el desarrollo infantil. Perfecto, pues ya podemos escuchar la noticia por segunda vez. “En este Congreso se habla de los retos sanitarios de la sociedad y uno de ellos, ustedes lo saben bien, son los microplásticos. Se cuelan en los alimentos y provocan efecto en nuestro cuerpo. Luis Vallés, ¿cómo lo hacen? Buenas tardes. Buenas tardes.

Puede haber alteraciones endocrinas, efectos cancerígenos, enfermedades respiratorias, etc. Para reducir riesgos, los expertos quieren cambiar el paso y apuestan por envases de vidrio. Eso elimina de raíz cualquier vestigio de material orgánico, como son estos disruptores hormonales, que son siempre materiales orgánicos. Desde aquí, pues, consejo de salud pública. Si son de llevarse la comida al trabajo... ...Vamos a promover el uso, por ejemplo, de un táper de cristal pues antes que un táper de plástico. Así cuidamos de nuestra salud.” Como siempre, el siguiente paso es ofrecerte la noticia con otras palabras. Así que, vamos allá. El presentador del informativo nos cuenta que en un evento donde tienen lugar distintas conferencias se debaten los desafíos sanitarios que enfrenta la sociedad. Y uno de ellos, como es bien conocido por todo el mundo, son los microplásticos. Estas partículas minúsculas se infiltran en los alimentos y generan consecuencias en el organismo. A continuación, el periodista nos ofrece datos concretos. Por ejemplo, que consumimos al año entre 78.000 y 200.000 partículas de microplásticos y que hay 12.000 agentes químicos presentes en los envases de fármacos, alimentos y otros productos del entorno. Así que, todo esto puede dar lugar a alteraciones hormonales en el cuerpo, en particular en fases sensibles como el embarazo, la niñez o la adolescencia. El primer médico señala que pueden aparecer disfunciones endocrinas, impactos cancerígenos o afecciones en la respiración. Para minimizar los riesgos, los especialistas proponen un cambio de paradigma y recomiendan el uso de recipientes de vidrio. Y en ese momento aparece la voz de otra doctora para recordarnos que con el vidrio se elimina definitivamente cualquier resto de material orgánico presente en los plásticos y perjudicial para nuestro cuerpo. Luego vuelve a tomar la palabra el periodista para hacernos una recomendación. Si nos llevamos el almuerzo al trabajo… …es mucho más saludable usar un recipiente de cristal en lugar de uno de plástico. Así contribuimos a proteger nuestra salud. Perfecto. Vamos a escuchar la noticia por última vez y después te cuento más cosas importantes para cuidar nuestro organismo. “En este Congreso se habla de los retos sanitarios de la sociedad y uno de ellos, ustedes lo saben bien, son los microplásticos. Se cuelan en los alimentos y provocan efecto en nuestro cuerpo. Luis Vallés, ¿cómo lo hacen? Buenas tardes. Buenas tardes. Hay que tener en cuenta que ingerimos al año entre 78.000 y 200.000 partículas de microplásticos y estamos expuestos a 12.000 sustancias químicas del envasado de medicamentos, alimentos y compuestos del medio ambiente. Y esto puede provocar cambios hormonales en nuestro organismo, sobre todo en etapas críticas como el embarazo, la infancia o la pubertad. Puede haber alteraciones endocrinas, efectos cancerígenos, enfermedades respiratorias, etc. Para reducir riesgos, los expertos quieren cambiar el paso y apuestan por envases de vidrio. Eso elimina de raíz cualquier vestigio de material orgánico, como son estos disruptores hormonales, que son siempre materiales orgánicos. Desde aquí, pues, consejo de salud pública. Si son de llevarse la comida al trabajo... ...Vamos a promover el uso, por ejemplo, de un táper de cristal pues antes que un táper de plástico. Así cuidamos de nuestra salud.” Ahora que está todo más claro, vamos a hablar un poco de otras sustancias perjudiciales para nuestra salud. Y es que, además de los microplásticos, hay otras cosas que consumimos sin darnos cuenta y que pueden tener un impacto negativo en nuestro organismo. Por ejemplo: Pesticidas: Utilizados para eliminar plagas en los cultivos, algunos de ellos pueden dejar residuos en las frutas y las verduras que llegan a nuestra mesa. Antibióticos: Empleados en la ganadería para prevenir o tratar enfermedades en los animales, sus restos pueden aparecer en la carne, el huevo o la leche, aumentando así el riesgo de que aparezcan resistencias a los antibióticos en los humanos. Conservantes, colorantes y aditivos: Sustancias añadidas para dar color, prolongar la conservación o mejorar el sabor de los alimentos, que en algunos casos están asociados a problemas de salud, como las alergias, el asma o la fragilidad del sistema inmunológico. Metales pesados: Como el mercurio en algunos pescados, el plomo o el arsénico presentes en el arroz o el agua, que si se acumulan en el organismo pueden resultar tóxicos y tener consecuencias neurológicas o renales a largo plazo. Este tema nos muestra que lo que comemos va más lejos que el simple acto de alimentarnos: tiene consecuencias en nuestra salud, en el medio ambiente y en el futuro de las generaciones que vendrán. Soluciones: ser más conscientes, leer las etiquetas, buscar alimentos de proximidad o sin tantos aditivos, apoyar a los pequeños grupos de agricultura ecológica y llevar una dieta más variada. Pero a veces no tenemos tiempo para hacer esas cosas, y en otras ocasiones lo que no tenemos es el dinero suficiente, porque los productos ecológicos suelen ser bastante más caros. Así que, cada uno haga lo que pueda. Mientras tanto, repasamos las palabras y expresiones que hemos aprendido hoy. -Táper: un recipiente, normalmente de plástico o de vidrio, usado para llevar o guardar comida. -Reto: un desafío, algo que resulta difícil y que exige esfuerzo para superarlo. -Colarse: introducirse o pasar sin ser visto o sin permiso. -Ingerir: tomar algo por la boca, tragarlo. -Envasado: meter algo en un recipiente o envoltorio para conservarlo. -Cambios hormonales: variaciones en los niveles de hormonas que pueden producir efectos en el cuerpo. -Alteraciones endocrinas: problemas o cambios en el funcionamiento de las glándulas que producen hormonas. -Cambiar el paso: modificar la forma de actuar, tomar un nuevo rumbo. -Vidrio: material duro, frágil y transparente que se usa, por ejemplo, para hacer botellas o ventanas. Es como el cristal, pero algo más resistente. -Vestigio: rastro o señal que queda de algo que ha desaparecido. -Disruptor hormonal: sustancia que altera el funcionamiento normal del sistema hormonal. Algo es disruptor cuando produce un cambio grande, cuando interrumpe el funcionamiento normal de algo. Muy bien, pues ya hemos terminado por hoy. Te espero la próxima semana con un nuevo personaje famoso y con material extra relacionado con ese protagonista. Muchas gracias de nuevo por tu apoyo. Adiós.

The image of the Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, crying in Parliament yesterday was picked up by various media. After PMQs, Ms Reeves' spokesperson said she had been dealing with a "personal matter" and Sir Keir insisted her tears had had "nothing to do with politics". Kylie Pentelow is joined by Times columnist Katy Balls and Kitty Donaldson, chief political commentator for the i Paper to discuss why her tears caused such a stir. Was it concern over political weakness and worries about political instability? Ms Reeves' very senior role in government? Or because she's a woman and maybe people still don't understand that women cry for different reasons and in different circumstances to men?The government's long-awaited NHS 10-year health plan is launched today. To make the NHS in England fit for the future, the plan will focus on three big shifts: moving care from hospitals to communities, making better use of technology, and preventing sickness - not just treating it. How should the NHS prioritise women's health to achieve better results? Kylie is joined by Ranee Thakar, President of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, Danielle Jefferies, Senior Analyst at The King's Fund, and Lara Lewington, a technology journalist and author of a new book, Hacking Humanity.Esther Freud's ninth novel, My Sister and Other Lovers, revisits characters from her very first book Hideous Kinky, which was made into a film starring Kate Winslet. In My Sisters and Other Lovers, the sisters come of age and try to come to terms with their past. Esther joins Kylie to talk about her writing and how despite having such famous men in her life – her father was the painter Lucien Freud and her great-grandfather was the founder of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud - it's the women in her family who inspire her work.Amy Powney is the fashion designer best known for being the Creative Director at Mother of Pearl for 10 years until she left to set up her own label, Akyn, earlier this year. Amy's mission to create a sustainable clothing line was explored in the documentary Fashion Reimagined which saw her trace clothes from field to runway and cemented her as an authority on this within the wider industry. Amy joins Kylie in the Woman's Hour studio.Presenter: Kylie Pentelow Producer: Rebecca Myatt

What's the ACTUAL difference between a Chief Growth Officer and a Chief Marketing Officer,what do they do and why might a high-growth brand need both?BGH host Fiona Fitz has been in the industry for 25+ years, and believe it or not, these roles are relatively new, borrowed from the worlds of tech and e-commerce, pure plays.

They also discuss how Smol segments its audience, turns data into action, and balances performance marketing with long-term brand building.If you've ever wondered how to move from organic to scalable growth—or whether it's time to bring in more senior commercial firepower to your team, this conversation will give you both the strategic context and the practical next steps. You'll hear how Smol has built a brand so loved that customers travel across the country just to meet the team in person and why they're still holding off on going big in retail despite the temptation.This episode is packed with real-world insight, actionable strategy, and a glimpse into what modern DTC growth leadership really looks like.

Welcome to the second episode of our special Power Miniseries. Our guest is Katina Connaughton of SingleThread, the celebrated restaurant and farm in Healdsburg, California, that she and her husband, Chef Kyle Connaughton, co-founded in 2016. Today, Katina is the head farmer of the 24-acre property that supplies the SingleThread restaurant, farm store, and CSA program. As Katina shares with host Kerry Diamond, she never set out to become a farmer. But she found her power, and her calling, by literally digging in the dirt. “The further I stuck my hands in the earth,” she said, “the more I felt like myself.” Katina talks about the incredible journey that she and Kyle have been on, from meeting at a punk rock concert in high school, to becoming parents, living abroad, and rethinking the fine-dining experience back in California. Katina also talks about ThroughLine, the special food and film experience that celebrates the artisans, farmers, and producers she and Kyle have partnered with over the years. Our Power miniseries is presented by Veuve Clicquot and coincides with the new Power Issue of Cherry Bombe's print magazine, out now. We spotlighted more than 100 women in the worlds of food, drink, and hospitality, including Katina, who are using their power in interesting, inspiring, and innovative ways.
