Send us a textForget the assumption that modern neurology only thrives where resources are abundant. We sit down with Dr. Daniel Ontaneda and Dr. Nelson Maldonado—two Ecuadorian neurologists driving change across Latin America—to explore how world-class care is built on clinical craft, cultural fluency, and relentless advocacy. From bedside localization when the MRI is down to expanding stroke thrombolysis from a handful of cases to hundreds, their stories reveal a system where expertise is abundant but access can lag—and how that gap is closing.We retrace Dan's journey from Quito to leading-edge MS research, and Nelson's decision to return home to build services few believed possible. Together they unpack what training looks like across the region, including long-format medical school, rural service, and residencies that demand deep exam skills. We compare public and private systems in Ecuador, break down why patients often want clear directives rather than options, and examine how cultural beliefs and language shape adherence. The conversation digs into MS treatment in low- and middle-resource settings, the rise of highly effective disease-modifying therapies, and the pragmatic use of cost-effective options like rituximab.The episode also exposes a hidden threat: substandard medications entering through price-first procurement, undermining both acute care and chronic neurologic disease. Yet the momentum is real—regional MS registries, imaging collaborations that move faster than heavily regulated systems, and conferences that bring neurocritical care and MS experts under one roof. Even subspecialists practice broadly, treating Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, headache, and ICU cases in the same week, sharpening an exam-first mindset that delivers results.If you care about global neurology, stroke systems of care, MS access, and the practical ethics of delivering evidence-based treatment under constraints, this conversation will challenge assumptions and spark ideas.

ICE and CBP Goons are that most toxic of combinations: mean and stupid. They proved it when they assaulted a retired couple at church and again when they tried to literally invade Ecuador. No. Really. The idiot dipshits tried to invade the Ecuadoran Consulate in Minneapolis, which is Ecuadorian soil. In other news, li'l Marco went to the Senate and had a hard time with  . . . logic . . . from Rand . . . Paul? Sometimes it makes my poor, feminine head hurt.

Juliana Garcia started climbing the mountains of Ecuador at fifteen years old. Since then, she has climbed and guided many mountains and big walls throughout the Andes, Peru,Bolivia, Colombia, as well as in Pakistan, Alaska, United States and the Alps. She became the first female Latin American certified IFMGA mountain guide and served as the President of the Ecuadorian Association of guides for 6 years. She is currently one of the instructors of the Ecuadorian guiding school ESGUIM. Juliana is also a Patagonia Brand Ambassador and an AIARE Avalanche Education Instructor and POW ambassador. She served as “board member” at the IFMGA for six years and became the first female and non-European to occupy that position. Recently she was recognized by the IFMGA as an “honorary member”. Juliana got her “ski guide” diploma this spring 2025 in U.S by the AMGA. She became the first female Latin American to obtain this status as a full IFMGA. She is passionate aboutlearning and sharing.Episode Intro:Dear listeners of the Female Guides Requested Podcast,welcome back! I am your host, Ting Ting, from Las Vegas. Today's guest is a true trailblazer in the international guiding community: Juliana Garcia. Juliana is an Ecuadorian mountain guide whose career is a series of "firsts". She was the first woman to pass the rigorous aspirant exams in the Bolivian system and became the first female IFMGA-certified guide in all of Latin America. Juliana's influence extends far beyond the technical terrain of the Andes. She served two terms as the president of the Ecuadorian Mountain Guides Association, where she was instrumental in bringing their national school up to international standards. She also shattered glass ceilings at the highest level of the profession as the first woman ever to sit on the board of the IFMGA. At the time of this interview, Juliana was based in Washington state and was in the final stages of a multi-year journey to become a certified ski guide—a discipline she picked upas an adult to bring high-level snow science and safety back to her home community in Ecuador. (And to no one's surprise, she passed!) Now, let's dive into Juliana's inspiring life journey—her transition from volcanoes to the Cascades, the power of mentorship, and why she believes the most important tool a guide can have is the ability to listen.Links:Her Place in the Mountains – Patagonia StoriesJuliana's Instagram page – julianagarciaguideQuotes:I'm just a person that loves to be outside, loves to be in the mountains. yeah, that's it, I think.When I became part of the board… I became the first female to sit at that board ever. That blew my mind. I was like, ‘You kidding me?I knew that that discipline exist… and I was like, what? I'm going to learn how to ski as an adult. I'm going to learn a lot of our snow science and I'm going to do it.I love sharing how people put themselves outside of their limits, sometimes and they do it and they found joy doing it. I love to be part of that journey of other people.I think we are really good on listening. I think we are really good on perceiving what is going on in our surroundings when we are guiding… and I think we're really good on not being ashamed to turn around.I don't care anymore. I don't need to prove anything to anybody… I realized… I was pushing myself for no reason… no one is going to pushing me… I'm doing my own path.What we can do to help is just to choose to be uncomfortable for a moment in our daily life… We need to choose in our daily life things that we can do that support the energy overall.

Artist Joaquin Stacey joins Javier Proenza for a conversation on art, identity, and cultural formation shaped by migration. Born in Ecuador and raised in Miami before relocating to Los Angeles for his MFA at Otis College of Art and Design, Stacey reflects on how geography, language, and institutional training inform his practice. The discussion moves through painting, performance, and installation, with particular attention to Catholic iconography, mestizaje, diaspora, and the contradictions of living in the United States while remaining connected to Ecuador. Stacey also describes his use of fermentation and sourdough as both material and conceptual frameworks, challenging linear notions of time, labor, and artistic process.

Send us a textWe end Season 5 with an episode about New Years' Eve in  Ecuador.  In 2002 Grandpa Edward Jeffrey Hill, Grandma Juanita Ray Hill, and five children (Abby, Hannah, Emily, Amanda, and Seth) were working in orphanages in Cuenca.  In keeping with Ecuadorian customs we made an effigy out of straw and old clothes. We had a lot of excitement on New Years as we kicked and kissed and burned our effigy. We learned that whether the old year was happy or sad was unimportant.  The new year is full of possibilities!! Happy New Year!  May 2026 be your best year ever!

Episode 216 of The Adventure Podcast is Part Two of the conversation with Charlie Reynolds. If you've not listened to the first half, go back to episode 215. We start this episode where left off, on a canoe in the waves after a brutal storm. Matt and Charlie continue unpacking his extraordinary journey, and several near misses, through South America. They dig into what those moments taught Charlie about instinct, trust, risk, and why some of his most meaningful insights came from silence rather than adrenaline. Charlie speaks openly about the emotional crash that followed his expedition. The hollow feeling of coming home, how identity becomes intertwined with extreme experiences, and why the aftermath can sometimes be the hardest to navigate. It's an episode packed full of adventure - from crossing an abandoned railway bridge with a no-fall zone, to accidentally befriending illegal gold miners, being robbed at knifepoint while camped in the mountains, and spending hours stuck in volcanic mud between two enormous Ecuadorian volcanoes - its a ride and a half. If Part 1 was about the catalyst that launched him, Part 2 is the proof that once Charlie started chasing uncertainty, the world kept handing him more.Chapter Breakdown00:00:00-00:05:00: Charlie arrives exhausted in Bogotá, sleeps for days, and rebuilds his bike setup before launching into the second half of the journey.00:12:50-00:15:25: He describes arriving in Colombia soaked, gear ruined.00:22:07-00:24:50: Charlie tells Matt about riding across a terrifying abandoned railway viaduct - narrow, unsupported, rattling, and suspended high above a Colombian river.00:31:04-00:33:51: He recounts being approached by armed miners who ended up asking for drone shots, following him on Instagram, and turning what could have been a dangerous situation into a strangely wholesome encounter.00:34:14-00:36:35: Riding south, he meets Diego, who gives him a list of spicy routes, including one that would become one of his biggest “struggle-fests” of the whole expedition.00:36:35-00:38:35: Charlie explains the notorious volcanic mud route.00:40:15-00:42:33: He describes camping in freezing marshland beneath Chimborazo, eating frozen tuna-rice for breakfast, and spending hours trying to haul his 200kg bike up a slope.00:46:04-00:48:28: With an injured leg and almost no energy, Charlie sends a single InReach message home.00:49:52-00:52:14: He recounts being robbed by men who spent hours at his tent demanding money.00:59:38-01:01:32: A detour with a friend ends in them burying a rental car deep in a canyon01:07:16-01:08:24: As he reaches southern South America, the adventure becomes less intense, but not less meaningful.01:08:42-01:11:47: Worried about losing momentum and returning to rent-paying normality, Charlie impulsively buys an old expedition truck in Quebec and limps it across North America with almost no money.01:11:47-End; Charlie reflects on how the journey has rewired him.For extra insights from the worlds of adventure, exploration and the natural world, you can find The Adventure Podcast+ community on Substack.

In this conversation we speak with a labor organizer and people's historian who covers Latin American movements with connections to Ecuador, Colombia, and Cuba. Folks may know her by the twitter handle @SovietwithSazon. In this conversation she discusses recent struggles and developments in Ecuador. In particular a recent 38 day general strike, and the popular rejection of a recent referendum  including measures which would have allowed the US to build military bases in Ecuador and cut public funding for political parties. Our guest contextualizes the current US-backed narco-military regime lead by Daniel Noboa. And she talks about the broader revenge campaign against former Pink Tide governments like Ecuador and Bolivia, now led by right wing forces. She discusses how the tactics we're seeing across Latin America against left-leaning governments, and the disappearances and assassinations of organizers, mark a return of the CIA's Operation Condor tactics. And she discusses how the capitalist class colludes with cartels to create crises that manufacture consent for the state of war decree that Ecuadorians are currently under. We'll include links to follow our guest on twitter, where she will be increasing her reporting on developments in Latin America, and to other episodes where we discuss recent developments with regard to Venezuela, Ecuador, Colombia, and on the topic of general strikes, the general strike Italian workers led a couple months ago.

"Right from the first listen, I was struck by the sheer variety and strangeness of the natural sounds of the Ecuadorian forest. Some of them already seemed like electronic sounds in their own right. " I therefore approached my processing by keeping the original recording unaltered and superimposing layers of electronic material that respectfully sought to integrate and blend in as much as possible with the original soundscape. "In short, they were minimal, liminal, and camouflaged contributions, disguised as natural sounds." Yasuni biosphere reserve, Ecuador reimagined by David Rossato.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 203-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 27,601 on turnover of 10-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan shed more than 500 points Friday as a sell-off was sparked by a plunge on U.S. markets overnight amid renewed worries that the U.S. Federal Reserve has turned hawkish toward its rate-cut cycle. Analysts say the steep losses in the United States prompted investors here to pocket their recent significant gains, also taking cues from the heavy losses suffered by artificial intelligence stocks such as Nvidia on stretched tech stocks". NTU responds after 100s fall for fried chicken rumor National Taiwan University is urging the public to be vigilant about information they read online… after an anonymous social media user promised to hand out free fried chicken and boba tea. A post in an anonymous Facebook group earlier this month claimed that Taipei would announce school and work closures for Typhoon Fung-wong for at least two days between November 12th and 14th… promising to hand out free fried chicken and boba tea at NTU's Fu Bell if the days off do not occur (發生). Several hundred people lined up, with some getting there early in the morning. The university ultimately had to dispatch security guards to keep order near the bell until afternoon, when people seemed to realize they had been tricked. NTU says, it's not able to verify who made the post, but warned that they should consider the accuracy and impact of misinformation spead online, lest they face legal consequences. Finland President Calls for EU Steadiness for Ukraine Finland's president urges Europe to hold its nerve (保持鎮定，保持勇氣) as he warns no ceasefire likely soon in Ukraine. AP correspondent Karen Chammas reports Ecuador Announces Capture of Major Drug Trafficker Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa has announced the capture of one of Ecuador's most wanted drug traffickers. Wilmer Chavarria, known as “Pipo,” was caught in Malaga, Spain, on Sunday in a joint operation with Spanish police. He is believed to lead Los Lobos, a group linked to political assassinations (暗殺) and associated with Mexico's Jalisco New Generation Cartel. Chavarria faked his death in 2021, moved to Spain, and continued his criminal activities. His capture coincides with Ecuadorians voting on a referendum about allowing foreign military bases to combat drug trafficking. Germany Holocaust Artifacts Auction Cancelled Poland's foreign minister says an auction of Holocaust artifacts in Germany has been canceled. He shared this information from his German counterpart after complaints from Holocaust survivors. The auction was set to include letters from concentration camp prisoners and other documents. A Holocaust survivors group had called for the cancellation, describing the auction as cynical (損人利己的) and shameless. The group emphasized that these documents belong to the victims' families and should be in museums, not sold for profit. The auction house has not responded to calls or emails about the cancellation.

Dave Davis and Dr Phil Bart's open the show with a full data and eye test breakdown of Club Brugge defender Joel Ordonez. They dig into why Liverpool scouts have been in stadiums watching the 21 year old Ecuadorian, assess his Champions League exposure, and analyse his front foot defending, aerial ability and progression under pressure. The pair compare him directly with Ibrahima Konate, look at his suitability for the Premier League, explore concerns around his carrying, and debate where he sits in Liverpool's centre back shortlist. They also discuss whether Liverpool would ever run with two young centre halves in Ordonez and Leone and talk about why his price and profile may push him up the queue for January.

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Shakira's week has been a whirlwind of headlines spanning family drama, international touring, business innovation, and high-profile entertainment, crystallizing her status as both global pop icon and relentless entrepreneur. The rumor mill spun into overdrive when Catalan outlets claimed Shakira's 94-year-old father, William Mebarak, took a severe turn for the worse, alarming fans and sending social media buzzing with concern. Yet sources close to Shakira assured ¡HOLA! Magazine that these claims were exaggerated. Mebarak is not hospitalized but is instead comfortably resting at his Miami home, under attentive care. Shakira's calm is reflected in her decision to press on with her wildly successful Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran world tour across Latin America, suggesting the family situation, while delicate, is under control.Touring, however, has delivered its own mix of triumph and turbulence. Just days ago in Quito, Shakira wrapped up her Ecuador tour with what ISNA News called a “modest and subdued” concert, noting many fans left disappointed by the low energy and scaled-back production. This performance, according to ISNA and 24TV, highlights a trend of waning demand in certain markets: Ecuadorian authorities even canceled some planned shows citing tepid ticket sales and safety concerns, a rare hiccup for an artist accustomed to sold-out arenas. Concert industry analysts, including The Nation, nevertheless underscore her overall global dominance, noting she was just crowned Billboard's Global Touring Icon after her tour grossed historic numbers this year. Her next major stop is Estadio Nacional in Lima, Peru, scheduled for November 15.Balancing artistry with business savvy, Shakira is making headlines for teaming up with AIR Shop, a Moca Network project backed by Animoca Brands, to put Shakira concert ticketing on blockchain rails. According to a release via PRNewswire, this move lets fans buy tickets worldwide and earn digital rewards, marking a new era in real-world blockchain entertainment transactions and potentially reshaping ticketing industry standards.On the entertainment front, Shakira is captivating younger audiences as Disney just unveiled her new music video “Zoo” for Zootopia 2, where she also reprises her vocal role as Gazelle. The song, co-written with Ed Sheeran, is poised for a Disney+ and theatrical push, likely boosting her cross-generational appeal.Meanwhile, gossip sites like The Auto Wire report on Shakira's splashy Miami lifestyle upgrade: she reportedly spent around $15 million relocating her collection of luxury cars from Spain post-divorce, a story eagerly devoured by fans online.All told, even as one of her shows underwhelmed in Ecuador, Shakira remains firmly in the global spotlight, mixing music, business moves, family loyalty, and pure celebrity spectacle—her recent trajectory revealing both the risks and rewards of operating at the pinnacle of fame.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Today on the podcast, the 4-week entrepreneur series where I dive into the entrepreneur's biggest business lesson continues. We're joined by Estelle, a Business Mindset and Energetics Coach, to explore what it really takes to build a business that feels aligned, joyful, and sustainable. We share the wild story of how the universe connected us, two French women, both married to Ecuadorian men, who went to the same university, burned out, became holistic health coaches and then turned into the business coaching world but only met through Instagram (talk about divine timing). In this episode, we dive into:

The U.S. military's targeting of fishermen in the Caribbean under the pretense of anti-drug operations only exemplifies a disregard for human life and international law. The No Kings rallies sheds light on the limitations of contemporary protest movements. Israel launched over 100 air strikes on Gaza during a ceasefire period, killing dozens and hitting civilian infrastructure, including homes and displacement tents. All that and much more in today's episode! My comedy news show Unredacted Tonight airs every Thursday at 7pm ET/ 4pm PT. My livestreams are on Mon and Fri at 3pm ET/ Noon PT and Wednesday at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT. I am one of the most censored comedians in America. Thanks for the support!

The Arsenal News Show EP660 - ft Laura Kirk-Francis - White & Zubimendi Injuries? Hincapie Returns

Song: Estrellitas Music by: Ana Lucia Divins   Notes: Singing this song of grief and the lifting of grief connected deeply with my heart this week. No matter what grief is in my heart at the moment, the wordless "O", followed by the shaping of Spanish words for sorrow, doubt, and fear as well as let go and little stars -- letting all the grief light the fire and then the sparks carry it away -- oh, it felt good to sing this. Soft and strong, velvet and spark, ache and motion. I'm grateful Ana Lucia gifted us this song to sing, and excited that once you've learned the core of the song with me, you get to sing all of it with her if you follow the Bandcamp link!    Songwriter Info: Music has been a lifelong companion for Ana Lucia Divins, who has witnessed its healing power and the strength of community connections. This journey led her to explore sound and therapeutic music studies. She is a Certified Music Practitioner by MHTP and a Holistic Voice Therapist with the British Academy of Sound Therapy.

In 2023, she received the Arts and Science Council Creative Renewal Fellowship and in 2024, the Arts and Science Council Artist Support Grant, enabling her to delve deeper into music's healing potential and produce new works. Ana Lucia's exploration of her voice has taken her to national and international workshops and retreats in Greece, Spain, the UK, and Colombia.  In the summer of 2024, Ana Lucia and Carlos Crespo, an Ecuadorian guitarist, released their debut healing music album, “Emerging,” in collaboration with other talented musicians. Available on all digital platforms, "Emerging" offers a deeply relaxing and uplifting sound bath of original new-age world music.

My life was profoundly affected by the example of five American missionaries who died trying to get the Gospel to a Stone Age tribe in Ecuador who had never heard the name of Jesus. They were actually murdered by the tribe that was then known as the Aucas. We now know them as the Waoranis. Amazingly, the wife of one of those missionaries and the sister of another actually went to the tribe that had killed their loved ones to tell them about Jesus. Today, some of the murderers of the missionaries are pastors of the Waorani church. It's an amazing story. I had the unforgettable privilege a few years ago of going to the Ecuadorian jungle to tape a radio program about what happened there. And I met Mincaye, one of the killers, one of the pastors. I learned that those missionary women had difficulty translating the Bible into the native language because this tribe literally had no word for or even concept for "forgive." But the message somehow had gotten through to Mincaye. Here's what he said: "What we did to those missionaries was a terrible thing. But one day soon I will see them in heaven because Jesus has washed our hearts." I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Jesus In Their Language." A spiritual rescuer had come to people to whom the word "forgive" meant nothing. But God's messenger to them did what effective missionaries have always done. She found a way to say it in words the people could understand. You know, we can do no less for the spiritually dying people around us. Obviously, the need to translate Christ's message is hard to miss in a foreign setting where there is a clearly different linguistic language. But the need to translate the Jesus-story is easy to miss when our neighbors and friends speak that same linguistic language we do, but they speak a different cultural language. The words of our Christian "tribe" simply have no meaning, or the wrong meaning, to the lost "tribe" next to us. Many lost people assigned to us by God have no better understanding of "born again," or "saved," or "accepting Christ," or "sin" than Mincaye did of "forgive." In our word for today from the Word of God, we discover one big reason thousands of people from all over the world came to Jesus in the first outreach ever held by the Christian Church. It was Jerusalem, it was Pentecost, and according to Acts 2:6, "Each one heard them (that is the apostles) speaking in his own language." Now that was a special miracle from God, but it underscores that people must hear Christ's message in a language they can understand, which our church language - which I call Christianese - is not. Maybe you've been transmitting the Good News about Jesus and getting little or no response. Could it be they're stumbling over your vocabulary? You can't just transmit the Good News; you have to translate it into everyday, non-religious words. In Jesus' parable of the four soils, three of which produced little or no good harvest, we see the major difference between those three soils and the soil that produced great fruit. In each case, Jesus explains that "this is the man who hears the word." But where there was a great harvest, Jesus said, "This is the man who hears the word (and here's the one difference) and understands it" (Matthew 13:23). We've got life-or-death information we have to deliver. We cannot afford to have our lost family and friends miss it because we said it in words they don't understand. It's time to move beyond the comfort of our Christianese to communicate the message people cannot afford to miss. The words we use could be decisive for each of us in our personal rescue mission for Jesus. You're God's missionary where you are. If you make the effort to translate the Good News into the language of the person who needs it, you could be part of a life-giving miracle!

Earlier this year at the 2025 PCA Trade Show, Altadis unveiled a new ultra-premium cigar in their Montecristo line called M. What makes this special is a 20 year aged Ecuadorian Connecticut that is used for its wrapper. This special wrapper was acquired from David Perez of ASP in Nicaragua. The blend for the Montecristo M was developed by AJ Fernandez and Rafael Nodal using this wrapper at AJ's factory in Esteli, Nicaragua. Here is what Altadis had to say about the cigar: “Crafted by the legendary cigarmaker AJ Fernandez, the story of this smoke lies in a wrapper that has been carefully and beautifully aged for two decades. Aging a cigar's wrapper leaf, like a fine bourbon or wine, adds a tremendous amount of character and maturity to a smoke, heightening the tasting notes and taking the smoker on a journey far beyond what they have experienced from normal mass market offerings in the past. The Connecticut seed Ecuadorian leaf utilized for this project was cultivated and brought to life through the fifth-generation grower David Perez, resulting in a medium-bodied smoke that is uniquely proportioned to accentuate the subtle beauty of the wrapper.” Vitola: Toro Size: 6 x 52 Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut Binder: Nicaraguan Filler: Nicaraguan Country of Origin: Nicaragua Factory: Tabacalera AJ Fernandez Cigars de Nicaragua S.A.

Personal stories about helping Gatto after his stroke and preserving his work. 00:10:00 – Gatto's Legacy & Foundation Power Recap of Gatto resigning as NY Teacher of the Year; the Reese Committee, Norman Dodd, and how Carnegie/Rockefeller/Ford foundations nudged policy and education. Language, printing press, and information control as the real levers of power. 00:20:00 – Multi-Generational Networks Banks and industrialists funding both sides of conflicts; the supra-political layer above parties and nations. Grove demos his research “Brain” map and traces threads through RAND, CFR, common core authors, Rhodes scholars, and Anglo-American planning. 00:30:00 – Wilson's Warning & Debunking Debunkers Woodrow Wilson's “shadow power” passage and how quotes get straw-manned online. How “fact-checks” poison the well by refuting claims no one actually made—keeping the real discussion off-limits. 00:40:00 – Money, Markets, and the Trivium Goldbacks and parallel money at liberty festivals; why cartelized finance isn't “capitalism.” Education deliberately omits the Trivium (grammar → logic → rhetoric), creating literate but uncritical citizens. Reframing learning as input/process/output. 00:50:00 – Empire by Other Means UK DCDC future-war documents; the British Empire's evolution into a covert commonwealth model using U.S. power. Cecil Rhodes's plan to pull America back into the imperial fold via a cadre—seed of the Rhodes Scholarships. 01:00:00 – The Will of Rhodes Grove details Rhodes's will, the Rothschild link, and how Rhodes Scholars (Clinton, Talbott, etc.) shape U.S. institutions. “From cowboys to gentlemen”: reforming American attitudes to match British elite preferences. 01:10:00 – Occult, Culture, and Soft Power Fabian socialists, spiritualist circles, and mystery-school currents around British politics; cultural capture from lawns to the British Invasion.

How lived experience hardened his stance against institutional corruption. 01:30:00 – 9/11 Anomalies Deep Dive Pentagon inconsistencies, missing (orange) black boxes, and security-cam gaps; “Pilots for 9/11 Truth” (Rob Balsamo) analyses; the “dancing Israelis” arrest and quiet deportations. Media scripting vs. physics and flight-path questions; drills/foreknowledge discussions and why these details still matter. 01:40:00 – Epstein, Pizzagate & Media Lines They hash through the Epstein network and culture's selective outrage: UK's Savile cover-ups vs. U.S. media skittishness; social feed reactions; speculation about Trump's possible informant role; Clinton associations. The broader theme: blackmail, intelligence services, and why cases like these get memory-holed. 01:50:00 – Assange, Censorship & Platforms Assange's background and the years in the Ecuadorian embassy; intelligence community pressure and narrative-management. Broader talk on censorship, de-platforming, alt-video (e.g., Odysee), and keeping shows listener-supported. Tease for live podcasting and how/why independent media survives. 02:00:00 – Skills, Autonomy & Sign-Off Grove's path from 2006 podcasting to building communities and courses (AUTONOMY): teaching durable skills, critical thinking, and entrepreneurial value creation.

In this episode of At the Coalface, I sit down with Natalia, an entrepreneur and seeker whose story weaves together Russia, Ecuador, Canada, and beyond.Born to a Russian mother and Ecuadorian father, Natalia grew up in Quito feeling like both an insider and an outsider. Her father, a doctor in the jungle, would return with stories from indigenous peoples that sparked her lifelong fascination with health, spirituality, and tradition. She went on to explore African-influenced practices like Candomblé in Brazil, connect with northern indigenous communities in Canada, and reflect on the Russian superstitions and esotericism that shaped her upbringing.We talk about the renaissance of indigenous wisdom and psychedelics. For Natalia, true healing comes through inner work, supported by the role of community, something all spiritual traditions share, and something she finds sorely lacking in Western culture, where people often suffer in isolation.Our conversation also explores her journey as an entrepreneur navigating political risk, the tension between intuition and control, and the resilience she forged through personal loss and reinvention.Recorded on 13 August 2025.Connect with Natalia on LinkedIn at linkedin.com/in/natalianavarre/.Instagram: @at.the.coalfaceAnd don't forget to subscribe to At the Coalface for new episodes every two weeks.Help us produce more episodes by becoming a supporter.

We recently talked about Tamara's trip to the Galapagos but today we are talking more about the logistics about traveling to Ecuador and some travel tips. Tamara spent 17 nights in Ecuador, including 5 nights in the Galapagos and found it a warm and welcoming country with beautiful and diverse landscapes. Amazing Ecuador helped Tamara organize her trip. Episode Highlights Most flights from the U.S. come into Quito or Guayaquil It is only 3.5 hours from Miami There are many regions including the Cloud Forest, Rainforest, volcanoes and mountains, National Parks, Galapagos, and more Tamara spent: 5 nights in the Galapagos, 1 night at Hacienda La Danesa, 2 nights in Cuenca, 1 night in Cotopaxi National Park, 3 nights in Quito, 2 nights in the Cloud Forest at the Mashpi Lodge, 2 nights at Hacienda Zuleta It helps to work with someone to figure out your priorities and build an itinerary around your interests Generally you want to spend at least two to three nights in each place Cuenca is a UNESCO heritage city with plenty of outdoor adventure nearby too Cotopaxi is at a higher elevation, making hikes challenging If you just have a week, fly in and out of Guayaquil and do the Galapagos and Hacienda La Danesa Safety - you need to be very careful after dark in Quito and other cities and beware of pickpockets. Don't walk around after dark, especially alone Ecuador uses the U.S. dollar as their official currency but most places also take credit cards but you will want small bills for tipping and the handicraft markets Many of the hotels are all-inclusive with meals and some activities Ecuador is a huge exporter of roses and through some regions you will see many roadside stands of 25-50 roses for less than $5 Tamara recommends getting a driver because the roads are not very well marked, some aren't in the best condition, Google Maps isn't reliable, and drivers are very aggressive There are a range of four star boutique hotels and luxury hotels Ecuadorian food is very fresh and utilizes year-round produce of veggies and fruit Most meals start with a soup and then have a salad or vegetables. Fish and ceviche is quite popular. Quinoa is a popular grain You shouldn't drink the tap water in Ecuador but the produce at good restaurants and hotels are washed in filtered water Guinea pig is also popular in Ecuador as it is in Peru Chocolate and coffee are also grown in Ecuador and very popular Ecuador is the most densely populated country in South America If you have liked Costa Rica or Belize, you will probably also like Ecuador Related Episodes: Galapagos cruise Mother-daughter trip to Peru Winelands of Chile Chile's Atacama Desert

And finally, we look into what might be causing people's hair to stick straight up at 41st Street and Seventh Avenue in Manhattan.

In this raw and unforgettable episode, we sit down with Renzo, a man whose story takes us from the halls of an Ecuadorian naval academy to the darkest corners of addiction — and finally, to redemption and love. Sent away as a teen in hopes of “straightening out,” he returned with more of taste for alcohol than ever. By 21, he was smoking meth. A move to the East Coast meant a fresh start… until heroin took over. His desperation ran so deep he once faked appendicitis — and had a perfectly healthy organ removed — just to score pain meds.After countless relapses, he finally got sober in his forties. The same day we recorded this episode, Renzo proposed to his girlfriend and they are now engaged — a full-circle moment for someone who never thought love or freedom was possible. Now, he works in treatment and shares his story to prove that no matter how far gone you feel, it's never too late to come back.This one's wild, honest, and packed with hope.

What if the key to healing decades of chronic pain lies not in your conscious mind, but in the 95% of consciousness you're not even accessing? In this transformative episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily dives deep with Jim Curtis, a transformational coach, master hypnotherapist, and author. Jim's story reads like a spiritual adventure novel: from getting hypnotized on national TV with Dr. Brian Weiss, to seeking healing from Ecuadorian shamans in the East Village, to finally accessing a quantum healing session that eliminated his pain completely and allowed him to stop taking 40mg of nicotine gum daily.
