President Trump claims Iran "really wants to make a deal" even as the U.S. and Tehran continue to exchange military strikes against each other. US CENTCOM says the military has conducted "measured and deliberate" strikes in response to Iran shooting down a US drone that was operating over international waters. Meanwhile, Gulf Arab states are once again worried they will be drawn into the conflict after Kuwait came under attack by Iran again this week. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Jeff Paul, FOX News foreign correspondent reporting from Dubai, who says the United Arab Emirates have the same fears of escalation in the region as the conflict drags on.

What happens when two lighting designers and two manufacturers sit down in the same room and get brutally honest about spec swaps, value engineering, custom details, and what really breaks when a project goes sideways on site? In this episode of LytePOD, host Sam Koerbel brings together voices from London, Florence, and Dubai for a rare, unfiltered conversation about the real friction points between design intent and manufacturing reality. This isn't a polished panel discussion. It's a candid, deeply human look at what it takes to collaborate across continents, timelines, and expectations when the pressure is on, the budget is tight, and the client still expects magic. They reveal why light quality is the designer's non-negotiable, why hiding complexity through simplicity is the hardest detail to execute, and why the best measure of success isn't the rendering or the spec sheet—it's whether the project still looks good two years later and whether the team can still call each other when something goes wrong. They walk through the uncomfortable truths: why there's no magic shelf where everything sits waiting to ship, why manufacturers become true partners only when they stop thinking in catalog codes, and why the sooner designers and manufacturers start talking, the better the final result will be. Whether you're a designer wondering how to collaborate more effectively with manufacturers, a manufacturer trying to understand what designers really need, or anyone curious about what it takes to turn creative vision into built reality—this conversation offers a rare, honest look at the tension, trust, and teamwork required to make great lighting projects happen. Listen now to discover why great lighting isn't about perfection—it's about partnership, communication, and showing up when it matters most. ❤️ Big appreciation for the partners who support this work and trust the vision. They believe in thoughtful conversations, strong community, and letting designers' voices lead.

Luca is the host of Luca's Insight Track, one of the leading podcasts in the UAE, and a public speaking coach who works with executives, founders, and corporate leaders across the region. After two decades in the corporate world — culminating in a CEO role at a major media agency — he made the bold leap to walk away at the height of his career, choosing authenticity over title and freedom over comfort. He now dedicates his work to helping people unlock their genuine voice in an age where AI and overproduction have made real human connection more valuable than ever. Luca speaks openly about the inner work behind reinvention, drawing on his own journey through clinical depression, deep self-doubt, and rediscovering identity after stepping away from a defining career. With roots between Lebanon, Italy, the UK, Nigeria, and Dubai, and a childhood shaped by boarding school and abandonment, he brings a refreshingly honest perspective on vulnerability, masculinity, and mental health — particularly within Middle Eastern culture, where therapy and emotional openness are still often taboo. He empowers his audience to embrace their authentic selves, build meaningful personal brands, and find the courage to live a life that aligns with who they truly are, not who the world told them to be.#hikmatwehbipodcast #podcast#english_podcast #Luca_Allam#Luca's_Insight_Track#wstudiodxbحكمت_وهبي#حكمت_وهبي_بودكاست#

Majd is a Syrian content creator and digital storyteller who built his career by combining a lifelong passion for art with an unshakable belief that talent alone is never enough — it must be paired with vision, discipline, and a refusal to stay comfortable. After growing up in war-torn Syria, where he taught himself to draw through YouTube tutorials, built his first lighting setup from cardboard he found in the trash, and filmed his earliest videos on his brother's borrowed phone, he moved to Dubai at just eighteen with eight thousand dollars to his name and only two months before it would run out. Today, with more than twelve million followers across platforms, he stands as one of the youngest and most distinctive voices in Arab content creation, championing a generation of creators who started from absolute zero and refusing to accept circumstance as an excuse. His decades-in-the-making work ethic — three hours of sleep, a bedsheet draped over the family computer screen so he wouldn't wake his mother, and a promise that one day this work would change his family's situation entirely — has shaped a creator whose challenges blend artistic skill with showmanship, from drawing underwater to chasing Cristiano Ronaldo across continents to deliver a portrait by hand. Even amid the noise of scrolling culture and the dopamine-driven race that defines modern content, Majd remains dedicated to honoring his Syrian roots, defending the value of hard-won discipline, and inspiring a new generation to take pride in starting small while building toward a vision big enough to one day rival Netflix itself.#hikmatwehbipodcast #podcast#arabic_podcast #Majd_Alzakout#wstudiodxbحكمت_وهبي#حكمت_وهبي_بودكاست#

Karma is a Dubai-based branding and marketing executive and public speaker with deep expertise spanning corporate leadership, brand strategy, emotional intelligence, and personal development, positioned as one of the more articulate regional voices on the intersection of authenticity, culture, and the modern marketing landscape. After years inside multinational corporate environments — including formal leadership training programs, Tony Robbins business-results coaching, and emotional intelligence certification — she built a career on translating human psychology into commercial outcomes, working closely with CEOs to embed brand DNA from the top down, training teams on emotions in communications, and operating as what she calls the "brand policeman" who refuses to let founders drift from their original purpose as their companies scale. She leverages a hybrid foundation in corporate branding, leadership coaching, and energy healing — alongside an outspoken commitment to feminine energy as a non-negotiable workplace force — to deliver a relationship-first philosophy that fuses Harvard research on emotional ROI with lived insights on identity, attachment styles, and vulnerability, and openly models the kind of accountable, hyper-empathetic leadership she advocates.She connects with founders, marketers, and corporate teams by systematically dismantling outdated leadership archetypes built on authority, fear, and scripted corporate messaging, championing servant leadership, accountability, and the "hide the logo" test of brand authenticity, and actively broadening the definition of strength to include emotional expression, intuition, and the courage to be one's authentic self in boardrooms still calibrated to masculine norms. Despite navigating a region and an industry increasingly flooded by AI-generated content, copy-paste ChatGPT captions, and the sanitized perfection of algorithmic marketing, she inspires her network by insisting on the irreplaceable connection between a real human face and a brand's soul, championing the obligation to help others even when they cannot yet hear the advice, weaponizing self-affirmation and manifestation against limiting inner narratives, embracing vulnerability and authenticity as the antidote to digital sameness, and grounding professional credibility in personal practice — building a worldview where forgiveness heals relationships, blessing replaces resentment, and giving is reframed not as a cliché but as the most strategically selfish path to a meaningful life.#hikmatwehbipodcast #podcast#english_podcast #Gosia_Golda#MMG_Talents#wstudiodxbحكمت_وهبي#حكمت_وهبي_بودكاست#

Nico is so full of life he's nearly bursting off the screen. In this episode we talk about mediation, acting from a place of centeredness, and overall emotional well being with things like processing pain and developing sensitivity to truth in your life. Enjoy! Chatgpt said this is what we talked about: Your mind can explain your pain for hours and still never touch the real release. We go straight into what changes when you stop trying to “think” your way to certainty and start working with the nervous system, the body, and the heart.We talk with Nico Dimatina about Vedic meditation and why mantra-based practice works like training wheels: you use the sound silently, it fades, and you land in real stillness. From there, we unpack why long-form meditation teacher training focuses so much on stored trauma, emotional baggage, and the subconscious patterns that run your reactions. Nico walks us through a full rounding sequence (toning, gentle yoga asana, shavasana, breathwork, then meditation) and explains how practices like alternate nostril breathing can help the body feel safe enough to unwind.We also zoom out into the bigger life questions: alignment versus achievement, why external success can't manufacture deep fulfillment, and what it means to “surrender” without checking out of your responsibilities. Nico shares a vivid story of asking for direction and having “Dubai” drop into consciousness during meditation. From qigong and meridians to psychedelics as plant medicine (with strong emphasis on guidance and integration), we keep bringing it back to what's practical: cultivating a steady inner baseline, then living from it.If this hit home, subscribe, share it with a friend who's stuck in their head, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.

While the last few years of Katie Price's life have not been uneventful, the last weeks of her life have been extraordinary even by Katie Price standards. In January, she married a Guy in Dubai (Lee Andrews) after three days in his company. The Guy in Dubai was immediately the subject of intense media scrutiny, and what was revealed was jarring. So jarring, perhaps, that Lee Andrews opted to step away from his life for a bit and faked his own kidnapping to do it. Editor's Note: This episode was recorded on Friday, May 22. On May 27, Lee Andrews contacted Katie Price from Dubai's central prison, where he is being held reportedly on "a private civil matter." And, thanks to HSBC's fraud department, Clemmie got her money back. Sponsors Today's episode is sponsored by Smalls.

Scopriamo il percorso professionale di Silvia Cannas, fondatrice della Ministry of Beauty, tra formazione internazionale e creatività. Un viaggio nel makeup sardo che conquista passerelle digitali e scenari internazionali prestigiosi. Silvia Cannas rappresenta oggi l'eccellenza sarda nel settore estetico globale. La fondatrice della Ministry of Beauty ha parlato recentemente ai microfoni di Unica Radio. La sua avventura professionale dura da oltre sedici anni di successi. Tutto nasce da un'idea precisa e molto ambiziosa. L'obiettivo era unire le radici sarde a uno spirito internazionale. Questa visione ha permesso di creare un'accademia d'eccellenza nel territorio. Il percorso formativo riflette un desiderio costante di crescita e innovazione. La nascita della Ministry of Beauty L'accademia non è soltanto un semplice centro didattico locale. Si tratta di una solida realtà accreditata dalla Regione Sardegna. La struttura gode inoltre del riconoscimento formale dell'Unione Europea. Gli attestati rilasciati sono validi su tutto il territorio europeo. Silvia Cannas ha costruito un percorso istituzionale e molto serio. La formazione completa dura complessivamente seicento ore intense. Questo impegno garantisce una preparazione tecnica di alto livello per ogni allievo. La filosofia di Silvia Cannas La visione dell'accademia punta su un'offerta formativa d'eccellenza. Il metodo utilizzato dai docenti è rigorosamente internazionale. Gli allievi apprendono le tecniche dei più grandi makeup artist mondiali. Il team riceve un aggiornamento metodologico costante e puntuale. Silvia Cannas desidera portare la bellezza globale direttamente in Sardegna. Il cuore dell'attività resta isolano, ma lo spirito guarda lontano. L'apertura mentale distingue nettamente questa realtà nel panorama estetico. I tre pilastri del successo Tre ingredienti fondamentali guidano il successo professionale in questo ambito. La sola tecnica purtroppo non basta per emergere nel mercato. La creatività è necessaria per distinguersi nettamente dai colleghi. Serve originalità per non ripetere schemi estetici già visti. La mentalità imprenditoriale completa il profilo del truccatore moderno. L'atteggiamento giusto attira infatti le scelte dei clienti migliori. Silvia Cannas sottolinea l'importanza fondamentale del comportamento etico e professionale. Lo studio secondo Silvia Cannas Molti giovani oggi commettono l'errore di guardare soltanto Instagram. L'imprenditrice consiglia invece uno studio artistico molto vasto. Il trucco professionale richiede una profonda conoscenza della storia dell'arte. Anche il cinema e la moda sono fonti di ispirazione essenziali. Bisogna studiare la società e le sue evoluzioni culturali nel tempo. Lo spirito di sacrificio resta la base di ogni carriera solida. Lo studio in questo settore dinamico non finisce mai davvero. Collaborazioni e traguardi prestigiosi Silvia Cannas ha raggiunto traguardi molto importanti e prestigiosi negli anni. Ha collaborato con esperti internazionali del calibro di Manuel Mameli. L'accademia ha lavorato anche a Dubai per le fashion week. Le collaborazioni includono marchi famosi come Kiko Milano. Questi successi ripagano tutti i sacrifici fatti nel tempo. Il talento della Sardegna varca così i confini nazionali. Ogni evento rappresenta un'occasione di crescita per tutto il team. Silvia Cannas e l'evoluzione digitale I social media oggi guidano la comunicazione della bellezza moderna. Il futuro del settore sarà un mix di digitale e presenza fisica. Le piattaforme richiedono contenuti sempre nuovi e molto creativi. Tuttavia il makeup artist resta una figura umana insostituibile. Le macchine non possono replicare la sensibilità e l'emozione umana. La creatività protegge infatti il lavoro dei veri professionisti. Silvia Cannas vede un futuro di forte interazione tecnologica. Il professionista dovrà saper usare bene i nuovi strumenti digitali. Potete seguire gli aggiornamenti dell'accademia sul profilo Instagram ufficiale (https://www.instagram.com/ministryofbeauty_?igsh=NWFjdzZob2UxNnZr&utm_source=qr).

In this episode, Travis sits down with Raja Rajamannar, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer at Mastercard and one of the most influential marketing leaders in the world. Raja shares his incredible journey from studying chemical engineering in India to leading branding and marketing initiatives for some of the world's biggest companies, including Citibank and Mastercard. Along the way, he discusses cultural intelligence, financial lessons learned during the 2008 crisis, and the future of marketing through his groundbreaking concept of “Quantum Marketing.” On this episode we talk about: Raja's unconventional career path from chemical engineering to global marketing leadership Cultural lessons learned while living and working in India, Dubai, London, and New York How Mastercard transformed into one of the world's most recognizable brands The importance of diversification and smart investing after the 2008 financial crisis Raja's concept of “Quantum Marketing” and how AI, neuroscience, and behavioral economics are reshaping the future of business Top 3 Takeaways Marketing is deeply tied to culture. Understanding people's values, behaviors, and norms is essential if you want your messaging to resonate globally. Diversification matters. Depending entirely on one company for both your income and investments can create major financial risk. The future of marketing will belong to companies that embrace AI, behavioral science, data, and multi-sensory customer experiences.

Show 313: Thinking Out Loud w/Friends of SoundBroker ZoomCast Show:  Please join me today on the panel with Devon Sheets to discuss the new Mac version of De-Feedback and the comparison of Source Intelligence from the L-Acoustics. I want to thank the following for appearing on the panel today and make this meeting such an enjoyable learning experience:  Bruce Fallis, Chris Cecil, Chris DiCorpo, Chris Nelson, Chris Russo, Curt Hare, David Dansky, David Elliott, Denis Canuck, Derek Miller, Devin Sheets, Duane Sheets, Fred Domenigoni, Gregory Baker, Gregory Woloszyn, Javi, John Lackner, Jorge Arronte, Ken Newman, Ken Porter, Marty Atias, Metalmax, Riley Arbuckle, Rob Robbins, Steve Gill, Tony Villarreal, Wayne Pierce Discussed during this meeting: D-Feedback and comparing it to L-Acoustics' new Source Intelligence product. Devin discussed the development of D-Feedback version 2, which will include more aggressive denoise capabilities, zero-latency blind de-echo functionality, and potential higher latency modes for better performance. The group extensively discussed the Mac version of D-Feedback, with Devin noting that while the AU format works well with 8 instances on a Mac Mini M4, it's still considered beta due to occasional sample drops. The conversation covered L-Acoustics' Source Intelligence, which requires L-Acoustics amplifiers and has a subscription model, limiting its utility for engineers working with different speaker systems. Devin also announced plans for a new surround up-mixing plugin called Easy UpMix that will convert stereo content to multi-channel output at zero latency, though specific parameters and compatibility details were not finalized. The meeting included discussions about various use cases for D-Feedback, including broadcast applications, intercom systems, and home recording scenarios, with several participants sharing positive experiences using the plugin in different environments.Gregory presented a report on AI data centers being built in Dubai and Saudi Arabia, highlighting concerns about submarine data cables in the region that could be damaged, potentially affecting 20% of global AI compute powerJorge reported successful testing of option 2 on an Intel Mac 2020 with four running instances over three days with zero drops, connected via USB to a DM3 with less than 5ms latency. Devin shared his experience running eight instances on a Mac Mini M4 over Dante with 6ms round trip latency, noting the affordability of the Mac Mini at $800 compared to other options. The discussion concluded with Ken raising questions about L-Acoustics' Source Intelligence feature, which requires specific networked amplifiers and is tied to L-Acoustics systems, making it expensive to implement.---Stop guessing and start growing.

His latest comedy special, “The Birds and the Bees” was filmed at Hollywood's legendary Comedy Store and is available for download on YouTube. Leading up to the election and its aftermath, Jobrani's Twitter feed delivered much-needed laughs during an especially tense time for me as we awaited this nation's fate. Now as we find ourselves in the De Ja Vu of yet another Donald Trump indictment, it's time to bring him back and hear his view on what's in store for all of us.

Pope Leo XIV released his first encyclical Monday, outlining his priorities in leading the world's 1.4 billion Catholics. While the focus of "Magnificent Humanity" was heavily on his concerns about AI, the pontiff also apologized for one of the Church's historic wrongs: supporting the slave trade. Also, Colombia has faced a dramatic increase in violence in the weeks leading up to its presidential election this weekend. And, with the Strait of Hormuz having now been closed for 88 days, the impact of the closure, along with the US-Israel war with Iran that triggered it, is intensifying rifts among Gulf countries.

I sat down with Marco from MoveItOn at ConsenSys Miami to talk about something I hadn't seen before — a peer-to-peer delivery platform that turns everyday travelers into courier agents. Think Uber, but for shipping. Marco walks me through how they use smart contract escrow to build trust between strangers sending valuable items, how their M1 token powers cross-border payments, and why they just acquired a Web2 company called GlocalZone with 1.5 million app downloads to hit the ground running. We also get into the regulatory maze of operating across 100+ countries, the AI-powered security boxes they plan to place at airports and train stations, and why the last-mile delivery problem is one that AI agents simply cannot solve on their own. If you're interested in how blockchain and real-world logistics can come together to save people money and create new income streams while traveling, this one is for you. Disclaimer:Nothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

"The Doctor Is Not Always Right"  Hein Van Eck is a healthcare actuary by training, a breed of thinker who sits at the intersection of data, ethics, and human behavior. He started in insurance in South Africa, was handed his career-defining job after answering a single ethical question correctly, and has spent the last 20 years on the provider side watching an industry transform in real time. He moved to Dubai in 2014 and hasn't stood still since.  As CEO of Mediclinic Middle East, Hein oversees six hospitals, 27 clinics, 4,000 babies born annually, and a workforce of doctors recruited from around the world not by headhunters, but by hospital directors who fly to the UK in winter specifically to sit across a candidate and ask: would I feel comfortable if this person treated my family?  That detail tells you everything about how he leads.  This conversation goes places most healthcare interviews don't. Hein talks honestly about the agency problem at the heart of modern medicine doctor has the knowledge, patient consumes, insurer pays and what happens when that system breaks down. He explains why Ozempic and Mounjaro might genuinely extend lives, not just shrink waistlines. He reveals an AI model that predicts, with 95% accuracy, which patient won't show up to their appointment. And he shares his vision of what a hospital looks like in ten years: a theatre complex, an ICU, and almost everything else happening at home.  If you think Dubai healthcare is second-tier, this conversation will change your mind.    Timestamps:  0:00 -  20 years at one company in Dubai: why Hein never needed to leave   2:00 - From actuary to hospitals: the agency problem at the heart of healthcare   5:00 - Post-Covid consumerism: why visits per person have doubled from four to eight a year   9:00 - Peptides, Ozempic, and the traffic light system: green, amber, and outright quackery  14:00 - Insurance, self-pay, and the moral dilemmas that arise every single day   21:00 - Collaborative management without consensus: how he leads 4 million patient interactions   25:00 - The mentor, the one ethical question, and how Hein got the job   28:00 - Payment cycles: 20 days in South Africa, 100+ days in the UAE and the hidden cash flow crisis   34:00 - How Mediclinic recruits doctors: hospital directors on planes, not recruiters on LinkedIn   40:00 - Spencer's spinal fusion story and the one doctor who made it human   47:00 - Hospitals as healthcare malls and why the big scary hospital is disappearing   52:00 - AI that predicts no-shows with 95% accuracy and ambient AI that frees doctors to look up   56:00 - In ten years, a hospital will be a theatre and an ICU and everything else happens at home   1:02:00 - The blue chair in every boardroom: every decision tested against what's best for the patient   1:07:00 - Quickfire: the biggest lie in healthcare, what scares him about AI, and the hardest truth about technology adoption    Follow Spencer Lodge on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/madeindubaipodcast/?hl=en  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61586194260076  https://www.instagram.com/spencer.lodge/?hl=en   https://www.tiktok.com/@spencer.lodge   https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerlodge/   https://www.youtube.com/c/SpencerLodgeTV   https://www.facebook.com/spencerlodgeofficial/    Follow Hein Van Eck on Social Media: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hein-van-eck-a632881a/  https://www.linkedin.com/company/mediclinic-middle-east/  https://www.instagram.com/mediclinicme/?hl=en

One point keeps us in the Premier League. The biggest game of our season is Sunday — and our captain has chosen to be in Argentina. The Originals previews Spurs v Everton — a final-day survival game — off the back of Roberto De Zerbi's press conference. Jim is joined by Si, back in the UK, and Stu in a 42-degree Dubai. And we open with a thank you, because we've passed 10,000 subscribers. We get into what's at stake (a point at home and we're safe), what De Zerbi's "I burn, I burn" line actually means once you translate the Italian, and the team news — Solanke and Maddison available, and whether either should start. We talk through how De Zerbi sets Spurs up, why Everton having nothing to play for might not help us, David Moyes openly wanting to send us down, Djed Spence's England call-up, and the keeper question De Zerbi flatly refused to answer. Then the big one: Cristian Romero, in Argentina for his boyhood club's final rather than our survival game. We go through "I'm not stupid", the telling "until now", the Ben Davies contrast — and the bigger question of who should captain this club next, and why it probably shouldn't simply be Maddison. Plus your member questions, "I miss Captain Sonny" and whether we let Son go a year too soon, our final-day score predictions, and a loan watch on Mikey Moore's outstanding season at Rangers. The Originals is the panel show from Oh So Spurs — higher-quality, more nuanced Tottenham content from fans who've lived every minute of this season. Smarter than the angry-pundit register, but still nervous supporters at heart. If the episode was worth your time, please follow the show, leave us a rating, and share it with a Spurs fan who can't bear to look at the table. And to the Oh-So-33 crew — keep it lily-white.

My team builds you a $167K/month client machine in 8 weeks. You just approve it. Interested? → https://wearetherainmakers.com/demowatch In this video, I'm taking you inside a private consulting session with one of our clients, breaking down his exact funnel, his real numbers, and the three highest-leverage moves that will take him from consistent to completely dialed in. -- Ok, quick intro if we haven't met. I'm Chris Dufey. I run The Rainmakers. We help coaches and consultants do $1M/yr working 2-4 hours a day. Couple years ago I was sleeping on a couch. Wife pregnant. Daughter on the way. She showed up on time. I did not. Fast forward — 4 kids, two houses (Bali + Australia), sold my last company. Now I get to be the guy behind the scenes of some of the best online businesses on the internet. And still do school pickup. Still surf on Tuesdays. Nothing glamorous about it. That's kinda the whole point. The speedrun of how I got here: 18 — Got into personal training. I was the fat kid. Wanted abs. Wanted girls to notice. Whatever, it worked. 21 — Ran a PT agency across Sydney gyms. 25 — Moved to Dubai. First kid. Discovered that new dads can survive on vibes and espresso alone. 27 — Moved to Bali to "start an online business." Translation: I had no idea what I was doing. 28 — Launched a supplement company. Blew it up. (Not proud. Not hiding it.) 29 — Accidentally became a business coach because PTs kept asking how I was living abroad. 31 — Founded Coaches Cartel — coaching + software + virtual teams for fitness pros. 34 — Became a dad of four. 10/10 do not recommend doing this and running a business simultaneously unless you like chaos. 35 — Sold the coaching business. Multi-7-figures. 36 — Started consulting 6/7/8-figure CEOs. $25K/month retainers. Weird flex but ok. 38 — Started The Rainmakers. Today — my team and I build the machines behind some of the best operators online. P.S. — talking to a camera all day gets old. Drop a comment. Ask me something. Disagree with me. Whatever.

In this special co-hosted episode of The Jess Larsen Show on Innovation & Leadership, Jess Larsen is joined by top Compass broker Holly Parker for a fascinating conversation with Cayman Islands attorney Daniel Altneu of Bedell Cristin. Together, they unpack why the Cayman Islands has become one of the world's most sought-after destinations for ultra-high-net-worth individuals, family offices, entrepreneurs, and global investors. Daniel breaks down the realities behind Cayman residency, offshore structuring, wealth migration, tax strategy, and succession planning — while separating fact from Hollywood fiction about the islands. The discussion explores why affluent families from the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Dubai, and beyond are increasingly relocating assets, businesses, and even future generations to Cayman for lifestyle, privacy, safety, and long-term financial planning. Jess and Holly also dive into the cultural transformation happening in Cayman: world-class dining, luxury real estate, understated wealth, elite healthcare, international schools, and a growing reputation as a discreet alternative to places like Monaco, Dubai, and St. Barts. Along the way, they discuss family office trends, crypto migration, global mobility, co-ownership luxury properties, and what the future of wealth movement may look like in a rapidly changing world. Whether you're curious about international residency, wealth preservation, offshore law, or simply why so many influential people are quietly choosing Cayman, this episode offers an insider look at one of the world's fastest-growing hubs for global wealth and lifestyle.

In this episode of the Always Better Than Yesterday Podcast, host Ryan Hartley sits down with James Kellock — former international athlete, founder, coach, and kindness advocate whose life's work is rooted in the belief that small acts of compassion can transform individuals, workplaces, and entire communities.James shares the deeply human story behind his journey: growing up between Scotland, Saudi Arabia, and Dubai, navigating boarding school, elite sport, fatherhood, corporate success, burnout, identity, and ultimately finding a more meaningful path through faith, service, and connection. A former England Masters hockey player and dual international athlete, James reflects on the mindset of competition, the burden of expectation, and how personal adversity became the catalyst for a more purpose-driven life.Today, James is the founder of All We Can Foundation — a global kindness movement built around one simple but radical belief: that kindness should be visible, measurable, and contagious. Through schools, communities, businesses, and grassroots initiatives, the organisation exists to inspire everyday acts of generosity that create lasting ripple effects across the world. Inspired by Christian values yet open to all, the movement champions the idea that compassion is not weakness, but one of humanity's greatest strengths.https://www.allwecan.co/Alongside the charity, James also founded RippleCore — a workplace culture and employee engagement platform designed to embed kindness into the DNA of organisations. RippleCore helps businesses create healthier, safer, and more connected workplaces through tools focused on wellbeing, culture, social impact, and operational care. What makes the business unique is its mission-driven model: RippleCore exists to help fund and scale the work of All We Can, proving that commercial success and human-centred leadership can coexist.https://www.ripplecore.co.uk/This conversation explores leadership, nervous system regulation, faith, emotional resilience, ADHD, people-pleasing, parenting, vulnerability, belonging, entrepreneurship, and the healing power of authentic community. Together, Ryan and James unpack what it means to truly support others — not through performance, but through presence — and why the future of leadership may depend less on control and more on compassion.At its heart, this episode is about rediscovering humanity in a world that often rewards disconnection. It is a reminder that kindness is not fluffy, soft, or naive — it is courageous, transformative, and capable of changing lives in ways we rarely see immediately.Those with ears, let them hear.Always love,RyanConnect with James KellockLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-kellockAll We Can Foundation: https://www.allwecan.co/RippleCore: https://www.ripplecore.co.uk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/allwecanfoundation/Connect with Always Better Than YesterdayWebsite: https://abty.co.uk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alwaysbetterthanyesterdayuk/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/abty/Join our mailing list: https://abty.co.uk/contactSign up for coaching: https://abty.co.uk/coachingPlease email questions and reflections to:podcast@abty.co.uk

Today marks the 18th anniversary of the arrest of Ryan Cornelius, a British businessman stuck in jail on dubious charges over a real estate development project gone awry. And yet… the UK Government is doing nothing substantive to get his release, too scared to pressure a close ally. Does this episode showcase a key aspect of the Enduring Disorder: medium power democracies are too scared to pressure their wealthy allies to abide by the rule of law? Originally sentenced to 10 years for a ‘crime' -- that the first Emirati judge that saw the case declared was unsubstantiated -- he remains still detained after his initially unproved sentence was extended by a further 20 years. The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention has found his detention to be arbitrary, and his family has spent years campaigning for the UK and UAE authorities to secure his release.  To find out more about this case and what it reveals about international relations, Jason is joined by Chris Pagett, Ryan's brother-in-law. This is the first in our ever-other Thursday Disorder Latest series. Chris and Jason discuss what the UK Government should (and has so far failed to) do, the ways that automatic sanctions could order the disorder, and why cases like this spread in our era of Enduring Disorder and in turn spread yet further Disorder.

Kevin Viles opens up about the journey that took him from painting ships and taking risks abroad to building relationships inside the world of billionaires, investors and multi-billion-pound superyacht companies. From working on naval frigates and ferries to landing life-changing opportunities in Dubai, Kevin reflects on the graft, hustle and instincts that helped him break into one of the most exclusive industries in the world.But behind the business deals and luxury lifestyle was a story shaped by pressure, loyalty, setbacks and sacrifice. Kevin speaks honestly about sleeping rough, taking jobs that didn't feel right, raising millions in funding, and the emotional weight that comes when business and personal relationships become intertwined. He shares stories of travelling the world, building close bonds that became like family, navigating high-stakes negotiations, and learning how quickly trust can be tested when serious money is involved.He also reflects on the friendships and mentors that changed his life, the moments that nearly broke him, and the mentality it took to keep moving forward when everything was uncertain. From teenage fundraising events and humble beginnings to the pressure of scaling major projects and chasing global opportunities, it's a raw look at ambition, resilience, brotherhood and what it really costs to build something from nothing.This is the eventful life of Kevin Viles.All Enquiries - Hello@DodgeWoodall.comWebsite: DodgeWoodall.comYouTube: Dodge WoodallFacebook: Dodge WoodallInstagram: @Dodge.WoodallTikTok: @DodgeWoodallLinkedIn: Dodge Woodall Hosted on Acast.

This week on The Creep Dive we spiral headfirst into one of the strangest tabloid stories currently unfolding online: Katie Price's whirlwind marriage to alleged millionaire entrepreneur Lee Andrews a Dubai-based “visionary CEO” whose AI-generated Instagram empire, mysterious business claims, suspicious exes, possible travel bans and sudden disappearance have left the British tabloids absolutely foaming at the mouth.Is he a billionaire futurist? A Tinder Swindler-style scammer? A man held together entirely by Canva, motivational quotes and black-and-white podcast photos? We investigate.Then, because apparently this episode accidentally became about fame, fraud, mythology and the terrifying power of collective belief, Jen takes us into the extraordinary true story of the Mona Lisa theft the bizarre 1911 heist that transformed a relatively overlooked Renaissance painting into the most famous artwork on earth.Featuring: fake wealth, fake identities, Picasso being questioned by police, Katie Price refusing to back down, the psychology of scams, AI self-invention, a handyman hiding the Mona Lisa in a trunk for two years, and the increasingly unsettling feeling that modern life may just be one giant confidence trick held together by vibes and good lighting.Listen ad-free and get an extra full bonus episode every week over on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thecreepdive Hosted on Acast.

Two sagas of snow and ice: going to Dubai via Helsinki, in that unconventional (revolutionary?) cocoon seat by Finnair, and to Kelowna (YLW) with the appropriately named Air North — snowy take offs, blueberry juice and de-icing drama (no blueberry juice was used to de-ice, but an in-flight magazine was taken).Would you fly to Dubai now? Where we stand (that jet fuel price), and where to stand in Dubai to plane spot (Paul did not say it: the metro station is called Abu Baker Al Siddique Metro Station 2).Starlink everywhere, what it means for in-flight calls, TikTok challenges, and our general quiet in an airplane (oh boy). Boarding lane clogging, and the boarding zone police (main syndrome character much?).  We both want to fly that ITA 321 business class, have you? More questions, and stories, on this episode which you can now watch on video on Apple Podcasts (bragging rights: we were one of the first ones to get video on Apple, all episodes from 150 are there now)._____A show created and hosted by Paul Papadimitriou: Instagram - LinkedInThe show is on Instagram - Facebook - Bluesky - more links on the websiteVideo and audio on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and wherever you podcast.

For many of the poorest residents in Lagos, Nigeria, the land their families have lived on for generations is now being violently seized by the government to build luxury condos. The communities are fighting back, but even court injunctions haven't stopped the bulldozers. This week on The Sunday Story, NPR's Emmanuel Akinwotu goes to these sites of destruction and talks to those who have lost everything in this race to develop one of the world's fastest-growing megacities.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy
