Hello Poz People!Our guest this week is Christopher Freibott. Christopher grew up in a small town in Bavaria, Germany called, Bad Neustast an der Saale but has been living in Ireland since 2014. Christopher says he was diagnosed with HIV a few years ago but that it's only in the last two years, after joining the Poz Vibe Tribe during a Pride march, that he started to be more open about his status. Chatting with Veda and Robbie was Christopher's first time making his story completely public but he said he wanted to do it so that people can learn from his experiences and also possibly ‘Kick off some change for all.'Welcome to the tribe Christopher!Love,Veda and Robbie.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Poz Vibe Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is a⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Veda⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Lady and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Robbie Lawlor⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ production.

Suzanne describes herself as an extroverted introvert. From a young age she never felt like she fit in and after a series of great and not so great experiences was diagnosed HIV positive. Her life after this was like a blank page and she realized everything within her had to change. This led her to finding what she was passionate about namely nature, spirituality and human behaviors. Suzanne realized that she could help alleviate that feeling in others especially women in similar situations and began working within homeless/addiction services. It was only after a diagnosis of autism that a lot of things clicked within herself. She has spent two years letting go of guilt and shame and is learning to be her authentic self. Finally after a long journey Suzanne is living her life her way.We loved our conversation with Suzanne. Please share with your tribe or anyone you think could benefit from hearing about her story.Love,Veda and Robbie.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Poz Vibe Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is a⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Veda⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Lady and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Robbie Lawlor⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ production.

Hello tribe! Before we tell you about this week's guests, a date for your diaries. Friends Remembering Friends will take place at midday on 28th November in St Andrews, Rialto on South Circular Road, Dublin 8. The event is being organised by the Rialto Community Drug Team and you are all very welcome. Now, back to the episode... This week we had some gorgeous conversations with two incredible people. Tony MacCarthaigh is a Community Activist interested in the relationship between spirituality and community development. Terrie Colman-Black co-founded ACET in Ireland in 1992. The group works with people affected and infected by HIV/AIDS.  Terrie also started a quilt group June 1993 as a community response to the many who had lost their lives to HIV and AIDS and t honour them by a permanent memorial. Thank you so much for listening. We are always here for you.

Veda and Robbie are together once again for this episode - hurrah! And their guest this week is Oliver Brown. In 2019, following a cycling accident in London, Oli found himself in A&E when he received his diagnosis. In July 2021, he delivered a talk to the British Ministry of Defence, telling his story and challenging their foundation on some of their outdated rules. With the support of the Terrence Higgins Trust, the National AIDS Trust and a network of people, in December 2021, on World AIDS Day, Defence agreed to change its policies and lift all of the restrictions on people living with HIV. This meant those people would be able to join the Armed Forces living with HIV, serve unrestricted if diagnosed and be freely able to take PrEP. We hope you enjoy Oli's story.

Revolut, the European-licensed bank with more than 45 million customers worldwide and over 2.8 million in Ireland, has crunched the numbers on Irish consumer spending over the last month, with the app's own data revealing that two bumper weekends, a rise in tourism, and the start of the school holidays all saw spending rise. Revolut's consumer spending analysis tracked 55.6 million card payments in June, indicating several real-world spending trends by Ireland's Revolut account holders. The total amount spent with Revolut has grown by over 15% (YoY increase) when comparing June 2024 with June 2023, which also accounts for the 16.5% rise in Revolut customers in Ireland in that time. As part of its 2023 Annual Report, Revolut highlighted how its customer balances had grown across the board in Ireland by more than 50% (2022 vs 2023) and over 26% (2023 vs 2024 YTD, i.e. June). A growing number of consumers across the country are choosing from Revolut's broad array of products, which are offered at competitive rates and provide a top-quality customer journey. With spending on taxis, buses, and general commuter transport rising by more than 12%, 12.5%, and 4.25% respectively (MoM increases), it was clear that the June Bank Holiday, along with the final weekend of the month (which saw the Taylor Swift concerts, GAA quarter-finals, and Dublin Pride) drove a spending hike. Customers in Ireland headed for bars, cafes, restaurants, and nightclubs more often, with spending collectively rising by more than 10% (MoM increase). Domestic and international tourism was also a factor in Ireland's increased Revolut spending, with June being a popular time to visit the country. There was an 11% jump (MoM increase) in hotel spending, up more than 13% compared to last June. Meanwhile, spending in souvenir shops (16% MoM increase) and tourist attractions (17% MoM increase) shot up. Car rentals also skyrocketed 35% (YoY increase), as excited holidaymakers made their way around Ireland. With some schools signing off for summer in early June, spending on children's activities rose. The mid-month release of Disney's 'Inside Out 2' can be attributed to the over 34% rise (MoM increase) in spending in cinemas. Amusement parks (26% MoM increase) and aquariums (19% MoM increase) also proved popular in June for those with kids. Maurice Murphy, General Manager at Revolut Bank UAB - Ireland Branch, said: "The 15% rise in the amount of money customers are spending with us each month is notable. While we have continued to innovate at pace for the benefit of the Irish market, we're also doing more to become people's primary bank. Our customers are encouraged by what they see, and we will continue to encourage more to see Revolut as the bank they go to first time, every time. Overall, the bumper month of June provided a visible uplift to a variety of economic sectors." Revolut, a European-licensed bank, was recently recognised by financial comparison site Bonkers.ie as 'Ireland's Best Consumer Business' and 'provider of the Best Current Account', while the company ranked 9th as part of the Ireland RepTrak 2024 study earlier this year.

The lads are are still recovering after Dublin Pride having hosted the main stage at Mother but still have the energy to divulge the details of the weekends' antics. Kevin also finds the energy to have a go at the PR companies for being cheapskates and only sending bits to PJ because he lives in Dublin.They then go from reality to the world of fiction and discuss everything to do with telling lies. Growing up gay they had to lie about who they were in order to protect themselves which makes them question if it is okay to lie sometimes. They also dress Kevin's lying compulsion and he comes clean about his condition and read out chaotic lies submitted by listeners which makes them feel better about their lie-telling tendencies.
