In this episode, Tu and Lei dive into a week dominated by autonomy, AI, and a widening gap between China's EV ecosystem and the rest of the world.  The episode opens with a deep reaction to Rivian's Autonomy AI Day—why it felt like déjà vu for anyone following China's smart-EV space, and how Rivian's announcements mirror what Chinese players like XPeng, NIO, and Li Auto have already been deploying. The hosts debate whether Rivian's approach represents real leadership or simply entry into the top tier.From there, the conversation expands to L4 autonomy momentum: WeRide launching passenger rides with Uber in Dubai, Mercedes partnering with Momenta in Abu Dhabi, and Waymo accelerating multi-city deployments while publishing safety data others still keep opaque.Tu and Lei also tackle the LiDAR vs. vision debate, Volkswagen's unusual dual bet on Rivian (US) and XPeng (China), and why silicon strategy—not just batteries—will decide winners. The discussion closes with affordability: why 300-mile EVs under $40K are existential for Western OEMs, and why China's cost structure makes that challenge unavoidable heading into 2026.Candid, comparative, and forward-looking, this episode explains why autonomy and AI—not just electrification—will define the next phase of the global auto industry.___

What does a year of growth really look like when you step away from the highlight reel and tell the truth? As we reach the end of 2025, we wanted to pause and pull back the curtain on what this year has genuinely been like for us behind the scenes. This episode is an honest, reflective conversation about the reality of running a values led coaching business through a year of challenge, change, and deep learning. We talk openly about the tension between what people often see from the outside and what it has actually felt like to be inside the business. This year has asked a lot of us. There have been moments of momentum and celebration alongside periods of complexity, uncertainty, and sustained effort that few people ever witness. We reflect on how a trip to Dubai at the start of the year became a catalyst for significant shifts in our thinking. Stepping into a different environment gave us the space to see long standing business bottlenecks with fresh eyes. What had felt heavy and immovable suddenly became solvable. That experience reshaped how we approached systems, automation, and the role technology plays in supporting rather than draining a coaching business. We share what it took to bring our Neurodivergent Inclusive Coaching programme to life, both in its full facilitated form and later through the Essentials offering. These programmes hold enormous meaning for us, not only because of their impact on coaches and clients, but because of the care, collaboration, and emotional labour involved in creating them well. This year reminded us why programme creation is so demanding and why integrity in delivery matters deeply to us. Much of 2025 has been about strengthening the foundations of the business. We talk about the unglamorous but essential work of refining processes, documenting systems, onboarding team members, and rebuilding parts of the business from the ground up to support scale. This included changing payment systems, migrating our website from co.uk to com, securing trademarks, and rethinking how we structure qualifications and CPD. Alongside all of this, there has been personal growth. We reflect on stepping back into facilitation, reconnecting with learners, and the fulfilment that comes from being closer to the heart of the work. We also share how this year has prompted bigger questions about brand identity, marketing, and how we want to be known as a global coaching organisation. This episode is an invitation to reflect on your own year with honesty and compassion. Whether you are running a coaching business, leading in an organisation, or navigating change, we hope our reflections offer reassurance, perspective, and a reminder that progress is often quieter and messier than it appears.   Timestamps: 00:00 Welcome and why we reflect at the end of each year 01:24 Why 2025 felt challenging as well as successful 01:54 The Dubai trip that changed how we saw our business 02:53 Gaining fresh perspective on systems and processes 05:17 Launching our Neurodivergent Inclusive Coaching programme 06:42 Creating accessible pathways through Essentials 08:04 Rebuilding systems and standard operating procedures 09:52 Moving from co.uk to com and what it represented 11:48 Returning to facilitation and reconnecting with learners 14:32 Securing trademarks and protecting the brand 15:29 Refreshing our ILM Level 3 coaching qualification 16:55 Corporate partnerships and ripple effects of coaching 18:22 Scaling responsibly and supporting hundreds of learners 21:29 Looking ahead to 2026 with clarity and optimism   Key Lessons Learned: Stepping away from the day to day can unlock solutions that feel impossible when you stay too close Strong systems are not restrictive, they create freedom and sustainability Inclusive programme design requires time, care, and collaboration Scaling a coaching business often means rebuilding rather than adding on Reconnecting with clients and learners keeps the heart of the work alive Brand decisions are as emotional as they are strategic Continuous improvement is demanding but deeply worthwhile   Links and Resources: www.igcompany.com/ilmcall www.mycoachingcourse.com    Keywords: coaching business growth, behind the scenes coaching, neurodivergent inclusive coaching, coaching qualifications UK, coaching CPD programmes, emotional coaching practice, coaching business systems, coach training programmes, coaching leadership development, The Coaching Crowd podcast,

In this explosive episode of The Connect, Johnny sits down with Danesa White, better known as Bella Barcode — a former Oakland hustler who built a multi-million-dollar fraud and jewelry embezzlement operation before the age of 21. Raised in the heart of the Bay Area hustle, Danesa breaks down how she went from boosting clothes as a teenager to running sophisticated bank fraud, credit card approval schemes, and high-end jewelry thefts across all 50 states. At her peak, she was clearing hundreds of thousands of dollars a day, selling stolen diamonds, watches, and luxury goods to NFL players and major drug dealers — all while living a jet-set lifestyle that included Dubai, Miami, New York, and beyond. -In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Bella Barcode explains: -How early-2000s bank and credit card fraud actually worked -How jewelry stores could be forced into approving six-figure purchases -The psychology of confidence, misdirection, and playing the role -The moment everything collapsed — arrests, probation violations, and a federal case -Serving 7 years in federal prison and what women's prison is really like -Why she finally chose to tell her story — and the price that came with it Today, Danesa has turned her life around and is inspiring others through her autobiography Recidivism: Beauty Before Bars, proving that survival, accountability, and redemption are possible — even after losing everything. This is one of the most detailed breakdowns of white-collar street crime ever told on the podcast — and a powerful cautionary tale about how fast money can disappear just as quickly as it comes.

Sallyann Della Casa, CEO Dubai-based "community as a service" GLEAC, joins us to share her personal journey and how collaborative leadership will thrive in our AI-drive future. She explains how access to networks, proximity to experience, and "quiet capital" are often more powerful than credentials alone in shaping opportunity, leadership, and career outcomes. We explore inequality driven by access rather than ability, leadership and gender mental models, and examines why modern society struggles to produce widely respected leaders. We also education and AI, arguing that traditional schooling is outdated, overly focused on memorization, and ill-suited for a world where AI can outperform humans on hard skills, while human skill can thrive in areas AI can't. AI will reshape leadership, investing, and management and future leaders will succeed by combining learning agility, deep expertise, strong networks, and the ability to co-lead alongside AI. We discuss...  Sally Ann Della Casa shares her personal story to illustrate how proximity, networks, and early access often determine life outcomes more than raw talent. The concept of "quiet capital" is a mix of social trust, reputation, networks, and deep domain knowledge that drives real-world success. The discussion examined inequality as a function of access and networks rather than intelligence or effort. Leadership was debated through the lens of mental models, including gender expectations, risk tolerance, and the loneliness of decision-making. Modern society struggles to identify and develop respected leaders across business, politics, and culture. Education systems are outdated, overly focused on memorization, and misaligned with how people actually learn and collaborate. AI was framed as a forcing function that will finally push education to prioritize human skills like judgment, creativity, curiosity, and critical thinking. The risks and benefits of AI are discussed, emphasizing that AI reflects human biases and represents the "gray average," not top-tier insight. The importance of context, storytelling, and lived experience are highlighted as something AI cannot replace. Leadership in the future is more agile, less hierarchical, and increasingly collaborative with AI tools and agents.

Dariush Soudhi is a serial entrepreneur who built — lost — and rebuilt multiple companies after a violent home invasion led to a heart attack, frozen accounts, and total collapse. Starting over in Dubai with just $750, he rebuilt from zero through door-to-door sales, ruthless self-accountability, and value-based pricing. Today, he runs a portfolio of businesses by solving real problems and charging what outcomes are worth. This episode breaks down rebuilding after trauma, pricing with self-worth, choosing time over ego, and what it actually takes to earn a second chance without wasting it.Hosted on Ausha.

Send us a textYou can't fake perspective. It's earned in the lows that most people won't talk about: childhood chaos, addiction, grief that knocks the air from your lungs, and careers capped by glass ceilings. We sat down as owners and team leads to tell the truth about how those lows forged our leadership, sharpened our empathy, and set the tone for how we build brokerages that actually serve people.We start with raw origin stories and the flip from victimhood to agency—therapy before tactics, faith before funnels, and mentors who make you fix your life before your lead gen. Then we break down the real market from 2023 to 2025 without spin: morale is a metric, culture is hard work, and smaller wins keep teams moving. You'll hear how we cut break-even side plays, killed bad spend, and focused on what we do best so our people could keep winning even when the weather turned.Looking ahead, we outline a clear 2026 plan. Scott shares a global dive into modular construction and factory robotics that could cut build times to days and costs below $100 per foot, with partnerships spanning China, LA, and Dubai. Ronnie leans into scaling Resi Realty by embracing the hard lessons of 2025 and doubling down on people-first systems. Jeff commits to owning a headquarters, expanding into new cities, resurrecting a profit-focused production team, and entering asset management and REO as cycles shift. The throughline is simple: invest in people, protect hope, eliminate waste, and make sure every effort returns value.If you're tired of empty hype and hungry for practical strategy, mindset shifts, and real leadership, this conversation is your playbook.

Sapevi che gli italiani parlano di Natale anche in piena estate? Esistono tantissime espressioni idiomatiche legate al Natale che usiamo tutti i giorni, in qualsiasi periodo dell'anno. Se non le conosci, rischi di non capire cosa sta dicendo il tuo amico italiano quando ti dice: "Ma che, credi ancora a Babbo Natale?" Espressioni Italiane Legate al Natale (Che Usiamo Tutto l'Anno) Espressioni Con Babbo Natale 1. "Credere Ancora a Babbo Natale" Questa è una delle espressioni più comuni in italiano! La usiamo quando vogliamo dire che qualcuno è ingenuo, credulone, cioè che crede a cose impossibili, poco realistiche o troppo belle per essere vere. L'espressione fa riferimento alla figura di Babbo Natale, in cui credono tipicamente solo i bambini piccoli. Sfumature D'Uso Questa espressione può essere usata in modo affettuoso (con un bambino o una persona dolce) oppure in modo più critico o sarcastico (con qualcuno che dovrebbe essere più realista). Tutto dipende dal tono di voce con cui viene pronunciata! Esempi In Contesti Diversi Contesto lavorativo: "Marco pensa che il capo gli darà un aumento del 50%." — "Ma dai! Crede ancora a Babbo Natale!" Contesto amoroso: "Lucia è convinta che il suo ex tornerà da lei." — "Poverina, crede ancora a Babbo Natale..." Contesto quotidiano: "Mio figlio pensa che se studia il giorno prima dell'esame, prenderà 30." — "Ah, crede ancora a Babbo Natale!" Varianti Dell'Espressione "Credere alle favole" → molto simile, ma leggermente meno forte; "Vivere nel mondo dei sogni" → enfatizza il distacco dalla realtà; "Credere che gli asini volino" → più rara e colorita. In Un Dialogo Realistico Anna: Sai, ho conosciuto un ragazzo online. Dice che è un principe di Dubai e che vuole regalarmi una villa! Giulia: Anna... dimmi che stai scherzando. Anna: No, perché? Sembra sincero! Giulia: Tesoro, tu credi ancora a Babbo Natale. È chiaramente una truffa! Attenzione! Non usare questa espressione in contesti formali o con persone che non conosci bene: potrebbe sembrare offensiva! È perfetta tra amici, familiari o colleghi con cui hai confidenza. 2. "Non Sono Mica Babbo Natale!" Questa espressione la usiamo quando qualcuno ci chiede troppe cose, troppi favori, e vogliamo dire: "Ehi, non posso fare miracoli! Non posso accontentare tutti!". È un modo simpatico per mettere dei limiti senza essere troppo bruschi. Sfumature D'Uso Di solito ha un tono scherzoso ma deciso. Può essere usata anche in modo più serio se qualcuno esagera davvero con le richieste. Esempi In Contesti Diversi Contesto familiare: "Papà, mi compri l'iPhone nuovo, la PlayStation e anche la bicicletta?" — "Piano, piano! Non sono mica Babbo Natale!" Contesto lavorativo: "Potresti finire questo progetto, rispondere a tutte le email e preparare la presentazione per domani?" — "Calma! Non sono mica Babbo Natale, una cosa alla volta!" Contesto tra amici: "Mi presti 100 euro? Ah, e mi accompagni all'aeroporto alle 5 di mattina? E poi mi tieni il gatto per due settimane?" — "Ehi, non sono mica Babbo Natale!" Nota Grammaticale Sulla Particella "Mica" La parola "mica" qui rafforza la negazione ed è molto usata nell'italiano parlato! "Non sono Babbo Natale" e "Non sono mica Babbo Natale" significano la stessa cosa, ma la seconda versione è più enfatica e più espressiva. La particella "mica" deriva dal latino mica (briciola) e si usa per negare qualcosa che l'interlocutore potrebbe pensare o supporre. Varianti Dell'Espressione "Non sono mica un mago!" → stesso concetto; "Non ho la bacchetta magica!" → simile, enfatizza l'impossibilità; "Non faccio miracoli!" → più diretto. In Un Dialogo Realistico Collega: Senti, potresti coprire il mio turno sabato? E anche domenica? Ah, e finire il report che dovevo fare io? Tu: Aspetta, aspetta. Non sono mica Babbo Natale! Posso aiutarti con una cosa, non con tutte! Collega: Dai, ti prego! Tu: Scelgo io: ti copro sabato, ma il report lo fai tu. Affare fatto? 3. "Fare Il Babbo Natale" Questa espressione significa essere molto generosi, regalare tante cose, pagare per tutti o fare molti favori a qualcuno. Evoca l'immagine di Babbo Natale che distribuisce regali a tutti. Sfumature D'Uso Può essere usata in senso positivo (quando apprezziamo la generosità di qualcuno) o leggermente critico (quando qualcuno esagera con la generosità, magari per fare bella figura o per secondi fini). Esempi In Contesti Diversi In senso positivo: "Ieri Luca ha pagato la cena a tutti, ha comprato i biglietti del cinema e poi ci ha anche accompagnati a casa." — "Wow, ha proprio fatto il Babbo Natale! Che generoso!" In senso leggermente critico: "Il nuovo fidanzato di Marta fa sempre il Babbo Natale: regali, fiori, cene... secondo me sta esagerando per impressionarla." Contesto lavorativo: "Il capo oggi ha fatto il Babbo Natale: ha dato un bonus a tutti!" Varianti Dell'Espressione "Essere generoso come Babbo Natale"; "Avere le mani bucate" → spendere troppo (ma più negativo); "Essere di manica larga" → essere generosi, spendere facilmente. In Un Dialogo Realistico Mamma: Com'è andata la cena con gli amici? Figlio: Benissimo! Marco ha fatto il Babbo Natale: ha pagato tutto lui! Mamma: Tutto? Per tutti? Figlio: Sì! Cena, dolce, caffè e anche l'amaro. Non ci ha fatto pagare niente. Mamma: Che ragazzo generoso! Invitalo a cena da noi, voglio ringraziarlo! 4. "Aspettare Qualcosa/Qualcuno Come i Bambini Aspettano Babbo Natale" Questa espressione descrive un'attesa piena di entusiasmo, di emozione, di impazienza. Pensa a come i bambini aspettano la notte di Natale: non dormono, sono eccitati, contano i giorni, i minuti. È sempre usata in senso positivo e un po' tenero. Esempi In Contesti Diversi Per un evento: "Giulia aspetta il concerto dei Coldplay come i bambini aspettano Babbo Natale. Parla solo di quello!" Per una persona: "Da quando Marco è partito per lavoro, sua moglie lo aspetta come i bambini aspettano Babbo Natale." Per un oggetto: "Ho ordinato il nuovo iPhone e lo aspetto come i bambini aspettano Babbo Natale: controllo la spedizione ogni cinque minuti!" Per un'uscita (film, libro, serie TV): "I fan aspettano l'ultima stagione di quella serie come i bambini aspettano Babbo Natale." Varianti Dell'Espressione "Aspettare con ansia" → più neutro; "Contare i giorni" → enfatizza l'attesa; "Non vedere l'ora" → molto comune, meno poetico. In Un Dialogo Realistico Amica 1: Hai visto Sara? Non parla d'altro che del suo viaggio in Giappone. Amica 2: Lo so! Lo aspetta come i bambini aspettano Babbo Natale. Ha già fatto tre liste di cose da vedere! Amica 1: Tre liste? Amica 2: Sì: una per Tokyo, una per Kyoto e una per il cibo. Quand'è che parte? Amica 1: Tra due mesi! Amica 2: Poveretta, sarà lunghissima questa attesa! Espressioni Con l'Albero Di Natale, il Presepe e il Panettone 5. "Sembrare Un Albero Di Natale" Questa espressione si usa quando qualcuno è vestito in modo troppo appariscente, troppo colorato, con troppi accessori: orecchini enormi, collane vistose, bracciali, anelli, vestiti brillanti, paillettes ovunque... Attenzione: questo NON è un complimento! È una critica, anche se spesso viene detta in modo scherzoso. Sfumature D'Uso Tra amici può essere una battuta affettuosa: "Amore, sembri un albero di Natale!" (detto ridendo). Con persone che non conosci bene, è decisamente una critica. Può essere usata anche per oggetti o luoghi, non solo persone. Esempi In Contesti Diversi Per una persona: "Avete visto come si è vestita Carla per la festa? Sembrava un albero di Natale: vestito rosso con paillettes, orecchini verdi giganti, collana dorata..." Per un luogo: "Hanno decorato il negozio come un albero di Natale: luci ovunque, festoni, pupazzi... non si capisce più niente!" Per un oggetto: "La sua macchina nuova ha così tanti accessori che sembra un albero di Natale." Varianti Ed Espressioni Simili "Essere agghindata/o come un albero di Natale" → con il verbo "agghindare" (vestirsi in modo eccessivo); "Sembrare una vetrina" → troppo "esposta", troppo appariscente; "Essere carica/o come un mulo" → avere troppe cose addosso (ma si usa più per borse e bagagli). Curiosità Culturale Gli italiani generalmente apprezzano l'eleganza sobria. C'è un detto che dice: "Prima di uscire, guardati allo specchio e togli un accessorio." Questa espressione riflette proprio questa mentalità: meglio essere semplici ed eleganti che esagerati! In Un Dialogo Realistico Mamma: Tesoro, sei pronta? Dobbiamo andare al matrimonio! Figlia: Sì! Come sto? Mamma: Ehm... cara, non ti offendere, ma sembri un albero di Natale. Togli almeno la collana O gli orecchini. Insieme sono troppo. Figlia: Ma a me piacciono! Mamma: Lo so, ma "less is more", come dicono gli inglesi! 6. "Spuntare / Tornare Come Il Panettone A Natale" Il panettone è il dolce natalizio italiano per eccellenza. Ogni anno, puntualmente, a novembre inizia a comparire in tutti i supermercati, bar e negozi. Usiamo questa espressione per parlare di qualcosa o qualcuno che torna puntualmente, in modo prevedibile, sempre nello stesso periodo o nelle stesse situazioni. Sfumature D'Uso Può essere usata in modo neutro (per descrivere qualcosa di ricorrente), affettuoso (per qualcuno che torna sempre) o leggermente critico/ironico (per qualcuno o qualcosa che torna in modo un po' fastidioso o troppo prevedibile). Esempi In Contesti Diversi Per una persona che si fa viva solo in certi momenti: "Hai visto? Marco mi ha scritto per il mio compleanno." — "Ah, Marco! Spunta come il panettone a Natale: si fa vivo solo quando gli conviene!" Per un argomento ricorrente: "Ogni volta che vedo mia zia, mi chiede quando mi sposo.

Several travel agencies have reported a significant hike in winter vacation tour bookings after schools and universities across China recently announced their winter holiday schedules. Industry insiders said domestic destinations with milder climates and overseas scenic spots are in intense competition to attract winter holiday travelers.多家旅行社表示，随着全国中小学和高校陆续公布寒假安排，冬季度假游预订量显著攀升。业内人士称，气候温和的国内目的地与海外景点正展开激烈竞争，争夺寒假游客资源。Since late November, primary and high schools nationwide, as well as universities, have been releasing their winter holiday plans, with vacation lengths ranging from 25 days to over 40 days.自11月下旬以来，全国中小学及高校陆续公布寒假安排，假期时长从25天到40多天不等。In Shanghai, for instance, primary and high school students will have 25 days off from Feb 2 to 27. In contrast, winter holiday breaks last 43 days in Heilongjiang province in Northeast China, starting in mid-January, as the region experiences earlier and more severe cold weather.例如，上海的小学生和中学生将从2月2日至27日享受25天的假期。相比之下，中国东北的黑龙江省因寒冷天气来得更早且更为严酷，其寒假从1月中旬开始，长达43天。As students' winter vacations will overlap with the Spring Festival holiday—a traditional Chinese period for family reunions falling in mid-February next year—many families are choosing to travel during the first half of their children's winter breaks to avoid travel peaks and potential price hikes for flights and hotel rooms during the Spring Festival holiday period.由于学生寒假将与春节假期重叠——这个中国传统的团圆时节将于明年二月中旬到来——许多家庭选择在孩子寒假的前半段出行，以避开春节期间的出行高峰和机票酒店可能上涨的价格。"I plan to take my son on a week-long winter tour in late January using my paid leave, although we haven't finalized the dates yet," said Wang Li, 39, who works in Beijing." We have two final choices—Hainan in South China and Kunming in Southwest China—both of which enjoy milder climates in winter."39岁的北京上班族王莉（音译）表示：“我计划在一月底用带薪休假带儿子进行为期一周的冬游，不过具体日期尚未敲定。我们有两个最终选择——中国南部的海南和西南部的昆明，这两个地方冬季气候都比较温和。”Wang said she previously sent her son to winter holiday tutoring classes, such as ice hockey and tennis, and scheduled family trips during the Spring Festival holiday. "Those plans cost much more because accommodation and flight prices skyrocketed during Spring Festival. This winter holiday, I want to move the family trip to earlier," she said.王莉（音译）表示表示，她此前曾让儿子参加寒假补习班，比如冰球和网球课程，并在春节假期安排了家庭旅行。她说：“这些计划花费更高，因为春节期间住宿和机票价格飞涨。这个寒假，我想把家庭旅行提前安排。”Wang is not alone. Travel portal Qunar said tour bookings from mid-January—when most students begin their winter school breaks—to the period before the Spring Festival holiday have seen significant growth since late November.王莉（音译）并非个例。旅游门户网站去哪儿网表示，自1月下旬（多数学生开始寒假）至春节假期前的旅游预订量，自11月下旬以来呈现显著增长。Qunar also reported a notable increase in flight ticket bookings for children during that period. Bookings for infants and children aged up to 12 rose by 60.7 percent year-on-year. Domestically, warmer destinations including Zhuhai in Guangdong province, Sanya in Hainan, and Xishuangbanna in Yunnan province have all seen a surge in tourism bookings, the platform said.去哪儿旅游网数据显示，同期儿童机票预订量显著增长，0至12岁婴幼儿及儿童机票预订量同比增长60.7%。该平台指出，国内旅游方面，广东珠海、海南三亚、云南西双版纳等温暖目的地均迎来旅游预订高峰。Overseas destinations such as Thailand and Russia are also popular choices for winter holiday travelers. According to Qunar, Thailand is currently the top overseas destination on its platform, with flight ticket bookings from the Chinese mainland to the country increasing 21 percent from mid-January to the eve of the Spring Festival holiday.泰国和俄罗斯等海外目的地也是冬季度假游客的热门选择。据去哪儿旅游网数据显示，泰国目前在其平台上位居海外目的地榜首，1月中旬至春节假期前夕，中国大陆至泰国的机票预订量同比增长21%。Qi Chunguang, vice-president of travel portal Tuniu, noted a boom in overseas winter holiday tours.途牛旅游网副总裁齐春光指出，海外冬季度假游呈现爆发式增长。"Some long-distance tour products to Australia and New Zealand for the winter holiday have already sold out," Qi said. "Tours to Europe, Dubai and Egypt will see a booking rush this month." He added that tour products to overseas island destinations such as the Maldives are also entering their peak reservation season.齐春光表示：“部分澳大利亚和新西兰的冬季长途旅游产品已售罄，本月欧洲、迪拜和埃及的旅游线路将迎来预订高峰。”他补充道，前往马尔代夫等海外岛屿目的地的旅游产品也正进入预订旺季。Zhou Chenjie, 42, who lives in Shanghai, said she has booked a five-day family trip to Thailand starting Feb 4. "It's my daughter's birthday wish," Zhou said. "Traveling before the Spring Festival holiday is a good deal, as flight tickets and hotel rooms are offered at discounted prices."现居上海的42岁周晨洁（音译）表示，她已预订了2月4日起为期五天的泰国家庭游，她说：“这是女儿的生日愿望。春节前出行很划算，机票和酒店都提供折扣价。”

As the year comes to a close, many people find themselves asking the same uncomfortable question: Why do my results look almost identical to last year — even though I worked harder, learned more, and tried new strategies?In this powerful year-end conversation, business mentor Joel McCleoud reveals why growth often stalls at a predictable level — and why effort, motivation, and strategy alone rarely create any change.After being kicked out of school at 13 with no formal education, Joel went on to build an online business generating £18,000 in monthly cashflow. His results led him to study directly under Bob Proctor, where he became one of the top 1% of consultants in the Circle of Excellence within just 18 months.Tune in to this episode to understand why your results keep repeating, and what actually needs to change for a true breakthrough in 2026.What you will learn:What paradigms are, and how they formThe Law of VibrationHow do thoughts move from the conscious mind into the subconsciousUnderstanding cause and effect in businessEpisode Resources:⁠⁠⁠⁠Joel ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠Joel Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join FREE 5-day workshop here

In this episode of Shift with CJ, I sit down with Dr. Ebenezer Abel Paul, founder of Verve Wellness Dubai, to break down one of the biggest questions in health and longevity: If our genes are fixed, why are we all so different—and how much control do we really have?We take genetics out of the abstract and bring it down to first principles. Why some people tolerate carbs better. Why others struggle with dairy, stress, or weight. Why environment, culture, and modern city life (especially Dubai) can either switch on disease or unlock performance.Dr. Ebenezer explains genetics in a practical way: Your genotype is your blueprint. It doesn't change. Your phenotype—how those genes express—is shaped by lifestyle, food, sleep, stress, environment, and decisions made daily.We dive into why “it runs in my family” is often a misunderstanding of lifestyle patterns rather than destiny, using examples like type 2 diabetes, lactose intolerance, obesity risk, and stress sensitivity. The episode also explores how modern stress, poor sleep, ultra-processed food, eating out culture, microplastics, EMFs, and vitamin deficiencies silently alter gene expression.We discuss the Well Gene Book as an entry point into personalized medicine—not as a diagnosis tool, but as a lifelong blueprint to make better decisions. Dr. Ebenezer explains why combining genetics with blood work, gut health, proteomics, and lifestyle data creates true precision health—and why random supplements, generic diets, or self-diagnosing with AI can backfire.The future, according to Dr. Ebenezer, is not shortcuts—but data harmonization: genetics + lifestyle + environment + AI-guided decision-making, all personalized to the individual.Key TakeawaysGenetics load the gun, lifestyle pulls the trigger.Most “genetic diseases” are actually lifestyle-driven expressions.Modern city life creates a mismatch between biology and environment.Food intolerances often show up as fatigue, brain fog, skin issues—not just gut symptoms.Personalized health beats generic diets, workouts, and supplements every time.5 Things You Can Start Doing TodayStop copying diets — eat based on how you respond, not influencers.Question symptoms like bloating, fatigue, brain fog—they're signals, not normal.Fix sleep first — poor sleep amplifies stress genes and inflammation.Reduce eating out — unknown oils, reheated food, and plastics matter.Use data wisely — genetics guide decisions, blood work confirms reality.Knowledge doesn't remove responsibility—it gives you control.

In Pt. 1 of the Underground Lounge Holiday Special, the Plastic Cup Boyz pull up and immediately turn the Lounge into a full-blown holiday family reunion. Wayne, Na'im, Joey & Harry join the show and from the very first minute, it's nonstop jokes, reckless storytelling, and classic Plastic Cup Boyz energy, no script, no filter, just pure chemistry and chaos the way fans expect it.The crew dives into the real origin story of the Plastic Cup Boyz, breaking down how late nights, after-parties, Vegas runs, green room madness, and brotherhood turned into a movement. They reflect on years of touring, traveling the world, unforgettable moments on the road, and the wild situations that only happen when this group is together.The conversation takes a more honest turn as they discuss the ending of their 6-year radio show, Straight From the Hart, what really led to it, how the transition unfolded, and the behind-the-scenes moments fans never got to hear while the microphones were live. It's reflective, funny, and real, showing how much growth came from that chapter.Holiday vibes stay high with gift exchanges, memory tests, and debates over who's really the cheapest, who always picks up the tab, and who has the wildest travel stories, from Dubai and Amsterdam to quarantine mishaps and international chaos. Aging, loyalty, friendship, and perspective all come into play, proving the party might evolve, but the bond stays solid.And just when it feels like everything's been laid out, the energy shifts. Old stories start circling back, the jokes get sharper, and the conversations drift into territory that can't stay holiday-friendly for long…Pt. 1 sets the stage.Pt. 2 turns up the volume and officially becomes an AFTER HOURS episode.Tap in to Holiday Special Pt. 1 for big laughs, real stories, Plastic Cup Boyz style, only on the Underground Lounge.

To watch this episode, head to https://youtu.be/tMghGC2VZMoThis week, we're in one of the stunning bedrooms at Corinthia London, talking to a man whose story genuinely feels like a film.Simon Casson, now CEO of Corinthia Hotels and former President EMEA at Four Seasons, was once told at 15 that he was a failure, that his education was over, and that he should “learn to fix cars or join the army”He went home devastated. His mum came back from a bar shift, wrapped her arms around him and said:“Simon, you're special. You're going to be a leader of men. You're going to achieve great wealth and success. And I believe in you”From washing dishes and sleeping in a room above a local restaurant… to becoming the youngest GM in Four Seasons… to running 45 hotels and 17,000 people… to now leading Corinthia's push to “challenge luxury's usual suspects” - this is a story of belief, graft, failure, and a very people first kind of success.In This Episode“You're a failure” at 15 – the careers officer, the crushing conversation, and the one sentence from his mum that changed everythingDishes, cheap digs & cheap labour – washing up, living above the restaurant, then a “management training scheme” that was really just doing every job in the hotel (and secretly the best education imaginable)Castles, chefs & the Four Seasons bug – being spotted by Kit Chapman at The Castle at Taunton, working alongside a young Gary Rhodes, and being introduced to Four Seasons as “the greatest hotel company in the world”From managing to leading – the early disaster as Room Service Manager at Four Seasons London and the moment it all changedWashington, Doha, Dubai & beyond – Clinton era D.C., meeting heads of state and celebrities, becoming the youngest Four Seasons GM in Doha, opening hotels in the Middle East and Africa, and eventually becoming President for Europe, Middle East & AfricaSacrifice, anxiety & imposter syndrome – missing chunks of his kids' childhood, hiding the fact he had no degree, and learning that pressure, doubt and growth often live in the same roomThe “second mountain” – stepping away after 35 years at Four Seasons, retreating to a farm in Croatia, and then being courted by global brands before choosing Corinthia as the place to write his next chapterCorinthia's new chapter – why London was transformational, how New York became “the star of the Met Gala”, and what it really means to be a “true contender” in global luxuryStand-Out Quotes“When the whole world's saying, ‘No, you can't,' you really just need one person to say, ‘Yes, I believe in you.

William Brown is a multi-millionairre, serial entrepreneur that went from selling a £50 word doc in his childhood bedroom to running a company doing hundreds of thousands a month, eventually selling it to private equity.

William also opens up about moving to Dubai, the freedom it gave him, and why he now helps other founders build, grow and exit their own companies.This is the eventful life of Mr William BrownWilliam's company: BuildGrowandExit.com All Enquiries - Hello@DodgeWoodall.comWebsite: DodgeWoodall.comYouTube: Dodge WoodallFacebook: Dodge WoodallInstagram: @Dodge.WoodallTikTok: @DodgeWoodallLinkedIn: Dodge Woodall Hosted on Acast.

Wall Street to Dubai isn't just a headline — it's the real-life journey of Tan Gera, a former investment banker who lost everything in the 2018 crypto crash… and then rebuilt from the ground up. In this episode, Tan breaks down how he walked away from a traditional Wall Street career, turned $57,000 into millions, and went on to build a global crypto education company. He shares the hard lessons from losing seven figures, navigating bank shutdowns and payment processor freezes, and why most people misunderstand how real wealth is actually built in crypto. Tan also explains why environment beats intelligence, how entrepreneurship fueled his crypto strategy, and why your network is your net worth when it comes to long-term success, capital, and opportunity. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone questioning the 9–5 path, looking beyond crypto hype, or trying to position themselves for the next wave of digital wealth.
