Most app founders overcomplicate things. This Notepad app? It makes $20,000/month with a design straight out of 2013.

*Encore episode*So often, what we define as “wellness” in today's world can end up feeling like an expensive and unnecessary set of demands that leave us drained rather than fulfilled. Fortunately, health coach Daphne Javitch is here for real talk on how to feel more (as she puts it) “resourced”. After a long and painful journey with endometriosis, Daphne was inspired to better understand her body and how to thrive in hectic conditions that are far from ideal. Tune in to hear how she navigated and continues to navigate this journey, as well as her thoughts on: - Self-care as a discipline and leadership skill - The importance of physical and emotional elimination - Health as a means of living with ease - Addressing pain vs. masking it - The belief that mood follows action Products/ Resources Mentioned: Skincare: Marie Veronique (barrier restore serum, barrier lipid complex), Furtuna Skin (Nightly Renewal Cream, Replenishing Balm) Supplements: Mary Ruth's (Morning MultiVitamin, Nighttime Multi Mineral), Seed Probiotics, Wooden Spoon Magic Magnesium Spirulina Powder, Epsom Salt for Baths) Resources: Daphne Javitch's Doing Well.

Alors qu'au Sénégal, les Lions de la Teranga ont célébré hier et avant-hier leur victoire à la Coupe d'Afrique des nations 2025, notre Grand invité Afrique s'intéresse ce matin à l'avenir des stades et des autres grandes infrastructures construites pour l'organisation de l'événement. Par le passé, plusieurs pays hôtes ont engagé des chantiers d'envergure colossale pour une CAN réussie, mais que deviennent toutes ces installations sportives, une fois la compétition terminée ? Le Béninois Gerard Akindes est chercheur en économie du sport, basé au Qatar. Il répond aux questions de Sidy Yansané. RFI : Tout d'abord, quel bilan faites-vous de la CAN qui vient de s'achever au Maroc sur les plans économique, commercial, mais aussi en termes de soft power ?  Gerard Akindes : Pour le Maroc, il n'y a rien à dire. Ils ont mis leur empreinte diplomatique, une belle visibilité avec les stades et tout ce qu'ils ont organisé. Ils ont marqué aussi leur soft power en Afrique. C'est un pays qui compte aujourd'hui par sa présence et par son offre de stades pour toutes les équipes qui n'ont pas de stade homologué dans leur pays d'origine. Donc à ce niveau-là, ils ont réussi leur pari avec des stades superbes, de grande classe et de grande qualité.  La CAN s'est déroulée au Maroc, certes, mais il y a aussi des retombées à l'échelle de l'ensemble du continent ... Je ne suis pas toujours convaincu par les retombées économiques. D'abord, les retombées économiques sont extrêmement difficiles à évaluer. Dans son ensemble, je ne pense pas qu'il y ait de réelles retombées pour l'Afrique. Qui bénéficie vraiment d'un événement qui se déroule au Maroc ? À lire aussi«C'est la CAN la plus rentable de l'histoire pour le pays hôte», affirme le ministre de l'Industrie du Maroc Mais au-delà du pays hôte, il y a aussi les pays participant à la compétition. On vend plus de maillots des équipes nationales, les restaurants, les bars sont remplis dans chacun des pays par les supporters. Il y a toute une économie indirecte qui se joue durant cette compétition, non ?  Oui, ça, on ne peut pas mettre en doute. Mais à l'échelle d'une économie nationale, qu'est-ce que ça représente ? Vous l'avez dit, le premier enjeu pour les pays hôtes, ce sont les infrastructures sportives, mais aussi les hôtels, les routes, les centres de santé et autres pour accueillir tous les supporters. Peut-on considérer qu'une CAN est facteur de développement en Afrique ? Grande question ! Je ne pense pas. La CAN, comme tous les grands événements ont un impact pour accélérer certains projets d'infrastructures ou de services dans une société. Est-ce que ces projets étaient faisables sans la CAN ? Certainement que oui. Maintenant si on parle de développement, est-ce que tout ce qui est fait pour la CAN a des implications sur le long terme ? C'est le cas pour certaines infrastructures, comme les routes, les trains, les transports. Vous anticipez ma question, à savoir l'avenir des infrastructures sportives dont l'entretien à terme est plus coûteux que leur construction. Que sont devenus les stades dans les anciens pays hôtes ?  Le problème est qu'on abrite une CAN avec des infrastructures complètement en déphasage avec la réalité du football local. Elles sont trop chères pour les clubs, elles sont trop chères pour les fédérations, elles ne sont pas pratiques parce qu'elles sont surdimensionnées pour des clubs qui ont des audiences de maximum 1 000 spectateurs dans un stade de 20 000 à 30 000 places. Et c'est un des gros problèmes de la CAN : elle monte en visibilité, mais elle est de plus en plus en déphasage avec la réalité du football de tous les week-ends, surtout en Afrique subsaharienne.  Alors posons la question qui fâche : une CAN est-elle une bonne opération pour un pays hôte ?  (Rires) Il y a une réponse diplomatique. La CAN est une opération de vanité pour la plupart du temps. Mais au-delà de ça, sur le plan de l'infrastructure sportive elle-même, jusqu'à présent, elle n'a pas pu être conçue pour être recyclée autrement. On n'est pas encore arrivé à trouver une formule architecturale qui permet au stade de prendre une autre dimension après l'événement. C'est peut-être la réflexion que l'Afrique doit mener. Regarder la CAN comme un événement qui va s'intégrer dans le tissu social et économique d'une société une fois que la compétition est finie, et ça, on en est encore loin.  Il y a un autre événement sportif qui a lieu tous les quatre ans et qui est aussi très populaire, ce sont les Jeux olympiques auxquels les athlètes africains et africaines participent massivement malgré tout, et dont l'équipement est moins coûteux dans certaines disciplines comme le tennis, le cyclisme, les arts martiaux... N'est-ce pas là une opportunité pour les pays les plus pauvres, et notamment la région qui nous intéresse, l'Afrique, qui permettrait de faire émerger des athlètes internationaux ?   Bon, on doit mettre le football dans une catégorie à part. On est tous contaminés par le football. Mais des sports moins coûteux, ça dépend de la vision que le pays projette vis-à-vis de son sport. Si notre vision est de tout faire pour être performant pour être vu à la CAN, éventuellement la Coupe du Monde, on maintient ce qu'on est en train de faire. Si notre vision c'est de faire participer un maximum de nos enfants à des activités sportives auxquelles ils vont prendre goût, qui va les maintenir en bonne santé, qui va leur donner peut-être des perspectives pour le 0,01 % qui entreront dans l'élite sportive, il faut adopter une autre approche. Encore une fois, ça dépend de ce que la société veut faire de son sport. Les pays scandinaves ne gagnent pas de médailles en masse, ils ont une philosophie politique sportive différente : c'est la participation qui prime. En Afrique, on veut une élite très vite, quel que soit le sport, mais on n'investit pas assez pour une participation à grande échelle.

Vous faites peut‑être partie de ceux qui pensent que structurer, c'est “pour plus tard”. Rassurez‑vous, vous êtes nombreux. Attention, je ne suis pas de ceux qui idéalisent la croissance à tout prix, mais en 2025, j'ai appris une chose : sans structuration, on s'épuise. Point.En 2025, j'ai tout donné pour structurer Iris & Themis. Résultat ? Une année frustrante où j'ai investi du temps et de l'argent sans voir les bénéfices immédiats.Ce que j'ai vécu (et ce que ça m'a coûté) :• 3 recrutements dont 1 échec et 1 partiel• Des dizaines de milliers d'euros investis en salaires et chasseurs• Une charge mentale saturée pendant des mois• Mon podcast mis en pause alors que j'y prends du plaisir• Un projet SEO avortés après des mois d'investissementLes erreurs qui coûtent cher :1. Vouloir tout déléguer d'un coup (spoiler : ça marche pas)2. Recruter sur des périmètres de postes trop larges 3. Mal gérer la période d'essai (ma plus grosse erreur managériale)4. Ne pas documenter ses process avant de recruterPourquoi j'ai quand même persisté : Parce que ne pas structurer, c'est pire. Tu accumules une dette opérationnelle, une tension sur ta trésorerie et une baisse de marge malgré ta croissance. Tu travailles plus pour gagner moins.Le déclic : Q4 2025, enfin le soulagement. Une consultante autonome, une consultante repositionnée là où elle apporte de la valeur ajoutée, des process documentés, des outils qui marchent. Je retrouve du temps et de l'espace mental pour les projets qui me donnent de la joie.Bref. 2025 a été une année sans glamour, mais avec de vraies fondations. Et si je devais résumer : structurer, c'est pénible. Ne pas structurer coûte beaucoup plus cher. Encore faut‑il accepter de s'y mettre.Bonne écoute ! Lilas LouiseHébergé par Audiomeans.

Modern art has always been a battleground — and the highly influential Museum of Modern Art has been partisan since its inception. Architectural historian Patricio Del Real discusses two differing political visions of modernism and modern architecture: one rooted in the left, and associated with figures such as Communist muralist Diego Rivera, and the other on the right, represented by the architect and fascist sympathizer Philip Johnson. He weighs in on the role of MoMa in promoting a view of modernism in Latin America, stripped of its radical politics and racial fusions, and radiating American power and hegemony.

Encore! Encore! This January Janet, John, (and Pen) wanted to revist the astounding life this actress with her 80-year long career in film, television, and the stage... Angela Lansbury. This English-born, though Irish-bred actress began her career, after escaping the Blitz by moving to United States, at the age of eighteen by playing a cheeky Cockeny servant to Charles Boyer in the thriller Gaslight (1944). This role brought her a contract with MGM and her first Academy Award nominaton for best supporting actress. At the time, she was seen as a b-list actor, but her role in The Manchirian Candidate (1962) put her on the map and is often considered, to this day, one of her best perfomances. She also quickly gained stardom for her lead role in the Broadway musical Mame in 1966, a catergory of performance she absoluted dominated. This role lead to her winning her fist every Tony Award. However, this starlet didn't stop only at theatrical appearances. In fact, she made her way to worldwide fame after playing the sleuth, Jessica Flecther, in the American whodunit series Murder She Wrote. The show ran for 12 seasons until 1966. Earning it the title of one of the longest-running and most popular detective dramas in television history. Some of Lansbury's projects include, Dear World, Gypsy, Sweeney Todd, National Velvet (1944), The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945), Nanny McPhee (2005), and Mary Poppins Returns (2018). She also acheived many acolades such as 6 Tony Awards, 6 Golden Globes, 2 honorary BAFTA Awards and many more.

If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My Guest: Brian Kelly is the founder of The Points Guy, which he built from a side hustle blog into a travel media empire that he sold for $28 million. At 42, he's now an angel investor in 15+ companies, including Bilt (valued at $11 billion). In this conversation, he shares lessons on manifestation, selling too early, building yourself into the brand, and why vulnerability beats wins in interviews. Key Learnings (in Brian's words) In 1995, I was 12 years old, and I was great with computers, so I started booking all of my dad's travel for work. He'd pay me $10 per booking. Then it turned into points, when my dad showed me all the American and US Air miles he had. "If you can figure out how to use all of them, we can go on a family trip."  And the rest is history. That was my first real, oh wait, this points thing is amazing. Points were a way for us to live a fabulous lifestyle.  I grew up thinking we were poor, but I really wanted to live a fabulous life. My parents were very humble and did not spend money lavishly. For me I always wanted to travel. When I was a kid, I would spin the globe and be like, This is where I'm going. I would actually research Oman. Somehow genetically, I got this gene of I need to be rich and travel the world. I used to call Mercedes, get all of their glossy pamphlets for all their new cars, and I would cut them out and stick them on my wall.  Manifesting alone won't make you wealthy, but visioning helps. I do believe being able to visualize what it looks like and taste it and get close to it helps you take the smaller steps to actually achieve it. When I think of my investments, I actually envision what they're gonna be. I envision that they're multi-billion-dollar companies. I believe it unlocks a level of pushing you to reach these mini steps that you can't see throughout the process. I started The Points Guy in 2010, but there were already Titan bloggers. I for sure felt imposter syndrome, but I saw that what they lacked was creativity. Points and miles are very clinical. Very few people were translating that for an audience. I knew I had an opportunity. I'm in my twenties, living in New York City. I'm gonna explain what everyday people need to know. Building a media brand became my moat. No one else in the points world was doing media. Doing media's frightening. While it was scary going on TV the first couple times (I almost fainted), I knew that each time I did it, I got better. That was the moat I would build. I would build The Points Guy into a brand more so than any of the others who had come before me. I saw from the beginning to double and triple down on that strategy of building something that's more than just a blog, but a lifestyle that people want to achieve. "I made a million bucks in my first six months of just blogging, but using affiliate links." In 2011, within six months of learning about affiliate marketing, I made six figures a month using the credit card links in my blog.  I was still working at Morgan Stanley. My mom was like, this sounds too good to be true. You can't leave Morgan Stanley. I was making like $300,000 a month in affiliate. Meanwhile, at Morgan Stanley, my salary is $70,000 a year. But it didn't pay right away. My parents actually lent me $10,000 just to pay my rent. I remember where I was in Madrid when that first Chase deposit of $490,000 hit from months of back pay on the blog. I sold for $28 million because I thought the industry would collapse. When Bankrate offered me $28 million in May 2012, I kind of had this negative mindset over where the industry was going. About a hundred blogs started when people knew they could make money on affiliates. Most bloggers have zero business sense. They were writing stuff like, "Cancel your Amex, cancel your Chase, cancel, cancel. Then get new cards." I saw this really bad business sense, very shortsighted greediness. I'm watching this thinking they're gonna pull the rug. Do I regret selling? Yes, the company is way more than what I sold it for. But at the time, you always have to remember what the landscape was. We're coming out of the recession. There were still a lot of weak indicators. Building myself into the brand gave me leverage. I had a three and a half year earnout. Over that time, the business really started to grow, but then I realized, well, I am also the business. So, the more press I did, when I negotiated with that parent company to stay on, they paid me a lot of money and still a cut of the business to grow it as CEO. It's kind of crazy to think 13 years after selling, I'm still here. But because I built myself as a core part of the business as The Points Guy, I've been able to stay on with less risk, getting paid well to do what I love. I'm more of the brand visionary, the consumer person. I'm very much an ideas person. When we're speaking with our longtime clients or pitching new ones, that's really where my special sauce is used and not in the day-to-day. People are not mind readers. In 2020, I had this breakdown where I thought I would actually leave. I went to the owners, and I was like, I just can't do it anymore. They said, "Brian, we've been waiting for you to say that. You don't need to be CEO. We have plenty of smart people." It was this aha moment. I think in life we often think polar, black or white. That's advice I give to people. Whether it's your parent company, your boss, your mentor, people are not mind readers. While there is risk to leveling with someone and saying, "Hey, this role is just killing me," more often than not in my career, the more vulnerable I was, the more it turned out to be such a blessing. Check Your Spam Email Frequently: In 2011, I was featured in the New York Times, but the email came to my spam email. At that time, the narrative that points were dead, blackout dates, etc. I was the only blogger putting a positive spin on points. And I tried to do it in an informative and fun way. I'm 6'7", so putting my personal angle on my travel reviews had a huge impact on being the face of this industry.  As a founder, I was a tough boss because it was so personal. If I look back at my time as CEO, I still took it very personally. I do take the integrity of this site. As we expand, we can't forego quality. In hindsight, I didn't highlight enough of the wins. I would focus too much on mistakes. That's advice I would give if I could do it all back over again, to just be much more positive reinforcement over negative. Founders need someone who can check them. You need to have someone around you, a leadership team, someone that can check you. I didn't have that for a very long time, and that's my fault. Making sure you have good people on your team that can be honest with you, and you create an environment of inviting that feedback and not freaking out when they give it to you, is important. I know I would be a much different CEO today if I did it again. Stop BSing in the interview process. Too many people take jobs not knowing what is going on whatsoever at the company. Far too many senior executives walk into positions and they're like, oh wait a minute. I like to be brutally honest in the interview process. Truth-telling is the beginning of having a great relationship because I want you to understand exactly what's in front of you. If you don't want to take it, that's so much better than hiring a senior exec and six months later, you just lost a year. Stop telling me the wins. In the interview process, stop telling me the wins because anyone can make their job look successful. "Oh, 200% ROI, this, that the other." In an interview, you're not gonna be able to fact-check any of this. We all know people can cherry-pick the data. It's really just diving deep into vulnerable moments about their leadership, the challenges as leaders they had with their teams. I'll tell them my challenges when I was CEO. I want people to be real and allow me to understand how they think, the type of leader they are. Charismatic people can trick you. The problem is that very charismatic people can trick you easily. I've been blinded by a great interview, especially when you're exhausted as a CEO and then someone's bantering with you. You're like, oh, that was fun. But I've hired plenty of people who are all talk.  I don't want personality hires. I'm the personality. My engineering team, I really need people to ship updates. I still wake up in the middle of the night asking if my bills are paid. I still have imposter syndrome about "is this crazy what I've built?" It's for sure not about the car, but I will say investing in a home that's beautiful and makes you feel really good is important. For a long time, I was traveling a lot. I never put roots down, and I always felt like I was in transit. Now I have this beautiful farm with animals and horses in New Hope, Pennsylvania. It takes my blood pressure down immediately. Angel investing has basically become an addiction. In 2020, I opened up a space where I decided I wanted to have kids even though I was single, and also started investing and advising in relevant companies. The first one was Encore Jane, who was building Built, a credit card loyalty platform for renters. I'd always thought, how cool would it be to earn points on rent? I said, You're crazy, but if it does work, it'll be massive. Built is now at $11 billion valuation. I'll make more money now, probably on Built than I will at The Points Guy, which is wild to me. I have probably about 15 other companies I put my personal money in. I love it because I can help advise founders on everything I've done, and help open doors. Using that to build wealth has become an addiction. Relentlessness is what I see in leaders who sustain excellence. I am amazed at Encore's ability to push. If he's got 10 major things impacting his business, most CEOs will start with one or two, put the others on the back burner. He will relentlessly push for excellence. I don't wanna work for Encore, but to be in the room and strategize, every time I leave a meeting with him it keeps me fresh and active.  Find mentors, not just companies. For recent college grads, find people, even at a company where you might not see your future. Find someone at that company that you connect with. If you're looking for a job, interview until you find that hiring manager that you feel is on an upward rise and that you can learn from. We often focus too much on the line of work or the company. Stop focusing on that and look at that manager or the CMO whose organization you would join. If they've done amazing things, get in right away and start networking. Put time on the CMO or CEO's calendar. Be bold. Every senior executive loves to see people come in with eagerness to learn. Show up and do extracurriculars at work. Go to the lunch and learn with the senior executive and actually get face time with them. Make sure they know your name. Those are the things that matter because when it comes time for compensation and reviews, the senior person may not work with you day-to-day, but they're like, oh yeah, that's the person I really like. They are a future leader. That's how you get ahead. Even if that boss leaves to another company, they might take you. Reflection Questions Brian says manifesting alone won't make you wealthy, but visioning what it looks like helps you take the smaller steps to achieve it. What specific vision do you have for your future that you could make more tangible (like his Mercedes pictures on the bedroom wall)? How might making it more concrete change your daily actions? He emphasizes that in interviews, he wants people to stop telling him the wins and instead dive deep into vulnerable moments about their leadership and challenges with their teams. If you were in an interview tomorrow, what's one vulnerable leadership moment you could share that would demonstrate how you think rather than just what you've accomplished? Brian realized he needed to tell his parent company, "I just can't do it anymore" as CEO, and they responded with relief, offering him a better role. What conversation are you avoiding right now because you assume the answer will be no, when the other person might actually be waiting for you to speak up?
