Born in San Francisco, he grew up in the Sierra Nevada foothills. At age twenty, he quit his job on a backwoods survey crew to travel the world, a journey that changed his life. Returning to California, he started a small business manufacturing and installing redwood hot tubs and eventually grew the company into one of the state's premier swimming pool builders. He later launched and acquired several other successful ventures, including Modesto's popular Redwood Café, which Yelp calls “one of America's most romantic restaurants.” In 2022, he created Redwood Café Tours to develop luxury small-group adventures in Europe, Asia, and Oceania.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, the Declaration of Independence is the clearest statement of America's founding principles. The United States was uniquely founded on a fusion of Judeo-Christian values and Enlightenment principles, combining faith, morality, reason, and natural rights while rejecting theocracy. America's founding principles allow individuals to hold diverse beliefs, including atheism and agnosticism, while preserving freedom of thought and religion. Islamism and Marxism are incompatible with American founding ideals because they reject natural law, natural rights, and the reasoning embodied in the Declaration of Independence. Remember all the fearmongering over things like DDT, e-oli, gas lawn mowers, and masks during COVID? Remember when climate change was supposed to cause sea levels to rise? There's a new fearmongering op over AI and data centers, driven by the Communist Chinese and their Democrat cheerleaders like Bernie Sanders. All the lies about data centers -- they use too much water, will cause electricity costs to go up, will kill jobs -- have all been proven false. But Barack Obama and others want to either kill this new industry or want the government to take it over. Bernie Sanders even said AI is more dangerous than nukes! Don't be a sucker. Don't give in to fearmongering. We need this new technology, and America must win the AI race. Republicans have abandoned their focus on affordability and instead shifted their attention to opposing or regulating data centers; they're chasing the latest political issue rather than addressing real concerns. Republicans are allowing Democrats and the media to shape their agenda, affordability remains a major problem and should be a priority. Groundbreaking developments should be left free from government interference because bureaucrats and politicians lack the expertise to direct innovation. Calls for greater regulation are driven by a desire for power and control rather than practical solutions. We need deregulation, limited government involvement, and allowing innovation and technological development to proceed with minimal restrictions. Later, re you getting sick and tired of ingrates who have no connection to this country? Take Hasan Piker: born here, raised in Turkey where he was radicalized, and thanks to the Supreme Court, returned here a citizen. Democrats might be keeping Piker at arm's length, but he is the face of the party. Democrats have embraced radical Islamism and Marxism just like they embraced slavery and segregation in the past. Islamism and Marxism are incompatible with the Judeo-Christian values of America and the Constitution. Most outrageously, Piker says, pound-for-pound, America causes more terrorism than Al-Qaeda. America is turning into Europe, which is dead and doesn't have the will to survive. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this episode, Roy sits down with Mike Swigunski, entrepreneur, investor, and #1 bestselling author on a mission to help millions of people Earn From Anywhere. Mike traces his path from a small Missouri suburb where he didn't take his first flight until 18, through running a university study-abroad program at 20, to a devastating turning point at 22 — losing his mother to breast cancer just a month before graduation — that pushed him to book a one-way flight to Europe rather than take a safe corporate job. He shares how he became employee #4 at Empire Flippers, helping scale it into a 100-person remote team and the world's largest curated marketplace for online businesses, and the "POWER" framework he built from watching thousands of acquisitions to identify what actually makes a business valuable. They dig into the platform risks of Amazon FBA and affiliate businesses, the coming shift toward advertising inside AI chat tools, the real craft behind his TEDx talk and the hero's journey structure behind it, his NOMAD framework for choosing where to live abroad, and his new venture, Dividends — a platform letting everyday investors put as little as $100 into fractional ownership of cash-flowing online businesses.

Kate Adie introduces stories from Yemen, South Korea, Sierra Leone, France, and Ireland. Yemen's Houthis recently claimed a major advance along the western Red Sea coast, capturing two strategic port cities from the Saudi-backed pro government forces. The BBC's security correspondent, Frank Gardner, reflects on how the Iran-backed Houthis have transformed themselves from tribal militia to formidable force.North Korea's soldiers fought alongside Russian troops at the end of 2024, as they tried to repel a surprise Ukrainian incursion into Russian territory - and it's thought they could soon make a return to the frontline. Quentin Sommerville examines what Pyongyang has gained from its burgeoning alliance with Moscow.Freetown in Sierra Leone is said to be one of the not-so-secret hideouts of one of Europe's most-wanted drug criminals, Jos Leijdekkers. The Dutch national was sentenced in absentia to 24 years in prison by a Rotterdam court back in 2024. Ed Butler travelled to Freetown to find out how he's managed to evade justice. In Northern France seaside towns are trying hard to rebrand themselves and shake off their gritty image, shaped by a history of coal mining – and the more recent migrant crisis. Sally Howard went to find out more about the towns' aspirations to build a new Belle Epoque. And on Ireland's West Coast, President Trump's golf resort has been a boon for many of local businesses. The US President received a relatively warm welcome on his recent visit but the trip wasn't entirely free of controversy - especially after Mr Trump shared his views on the future of Ireland, reports Chris Page.Series Producer: Serena Tarling Production Coordinators: Sophie Hill & Katie Morrison Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith

No SciCast dessa semana convidamos a Profa. Monique Sochaczewski para conversar sobre a história de um país construído sobre a negação do próprio passado (e do que acontece quando esse passado volta). Do colapso do Império Otomano e da tutela europeia do século XIX às reformas radicais de Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, que trocou o alfabeto, a lei, a capital e até a chamada à oração; dos golpes militares e da Guerra Fria à ascensão de Recep Tayyip Erdoğan e ao chamado neo-otomanismo, com suas pontes, suas séries e novelas de TV, sua diplomacia e a reconversão da Ayasofya. Entenda por que a Turquia é ao mesmo tempo membro da OTAN e candidata eterna à União Europeia, por que Brasília e Ancara mediaram juntas a crise nuclear iraniana, e por que o Império Otomano nunca deixou de ser um assunto de política externa. Kemalismo, laicidade, Diyanet, questão curda, Primavera Árabe, golpe de 2016, Ayasofya, neo-otomanismo e pan-turquismo. Patronato do SciCast: 1. Patreon SciCast 2. Apoia.se/Scicast 3.

What happens when some of the people building the world's most powerful AI systems start saying we may need to slow down?In the span of roughly two weeks, the conversation around frontier AI shifted dramatically. Dario Amodei argued that AI capabilities need to be paced. Sam Altman publicly agreed with the broader concern. Elon Musk weighed in. Jensen Huang and Mark Zuckerberg offered different approaches. Meanwhile, political leaders in the US, Europe, the UK and China became part of an increasingly urgent debate over safety, competition and control.For business leaders, however, there's an important twist: slowing the frontier does not mean AI adoption is slowing down. The systems already available can transform how organizations operate and they also introduce risks that leaders can no longer afford to treat as somebody else's problem.In this episode of Leveraging AI, Isar Meitis breaks down an extraordinary sequence of events surrounding AI safety, recursive self-improvement, regulation and the increasingly complicated relationship between the companies building frontier models and the governments trying to respond.In this session, you'll discover:Why Dario Amodei is arguing that frontier AI development should be paced rather than stopped.Why recursive self-improvement, or RSI, has become such an important part of the AI safety conversation.What the OpenAI Hugging Face agent incident revealed about autonomous AI behavior.The different safety approaches being discussed by Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft and Elon Musk.Why cooperation between competing AI labs is proving so difficult.How the US-China AI race complicates attempts at international coordination.Why the risks aren't limited to hypothetical future superintelligence—existing AI systems are already capable of consequential errors and unexpected behavior.What recent AI incidents reveal about hallucinations, cybersecurity and autonomous agents.Why business leaders should simultaneously accelerate AI education and strengthen oversight.How organizations can capture the productivity upside of today's AI without blindly trusting its outputs.One of the most important lessons for leaders is surprisingly mundane: catastrophic outcomes don't necessarily begin with science-fiction scenarios. A confident wrong answer, an unchecked AI-generated report or a small failure inside an automated workflow can cascade into a very serious decision.About Leveraging AIMulti-Agent Orchestration Course: https://multiplai.ai/multi-agent-orchestration-course/YouTube Full Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@Multiplai_AI/Connect with Isar Meitis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isarmeitis/ Join our Live Sessions, AI Hangouts and newsletter: https://services.multiplai.ai/eventsIf you've enjoyed or benefited from some of the insights of this episode, leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, and let us know what you learned, found helpful, or liked most about this show!

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss Waymo's expansion to Tokyo and Singapore, NHTSA's ongoing audit of Tesla's Cybercab in Austin and Bolt's plan to deploy up to 25,000 Lucid robotaxis in Europe.Today, Tesla has roughly 40 Cybercabs operating in Austin, and Grayson believes Tesla is respectfully holding at its home market while NHTSA completes a fact-finding audit. If Tesla passes, it is free to deploy in any state that permits fully autonomous operations. Walt expects the process to wrap by year-end, and Grayson reads Administrator Morrison's Pittsburgh speech on updating outdated federal motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS) as a signal that a pathway is opening.As Waymo continues their global expansion, Grayson predicts Singapore will be an IONIQ 5 market and Tokyo a Toyota market, with the vehicle constraint that has defined Waymo now dissipating, and he reads the Allianz partnership as the insurance piece falling into place for Waymo's grand European expansion.In Las Vegas, riders can now go anywhere in the ODD, and in Nashville, The Road to Autonomy Special Field correspondent David Moss got banned from the Lyft app playing autonomy roulette.May Mobility announced a SPAC with $10 million of 2025 revenue and a $270,000 bill of materials, and Wayve hired Waymo's former CFO, which Grayson views as a signal Wayve may be eyeing the public markets.On the Foreign Autonomy Desk, Grayson and Walt analyzed Einride's deployment in Germany, Pony AI, Uber and Verne's driver-out launch in Zagreb on a 13.67-mile fixed loop. Spain issued its first SAE Level 4 permit to WeRide and Uber, with Grayson predicting a Waymo expansion to Madrid by Q2 of next year. In Singapore, Grab is expanding their WeRide fleet 5X to 50 robotaxis.Episode Chapters0:00 Reviewing the Jason Calacanis Episode03:17 Tesla Cybercab NHTSA Audit06:23 NHTSA Administrator Morrison's Pittsburgh Speech08:14 Waymo on Lyft in Nashville10:56 Waymo in Las Vegas13:17 Waymo in Tokyo and Singapore16:20 Waymo / Allianz Partnership17:25 Bolt's Grand Robotaxi Ambitions20:45 May Mobility SPAC23:42 Wayve's Hires Waymo's Fmr.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, are you getting sick and tired of ingrates who have no connection to this country? Take Hasan Piker: born here, raised in Turkey where he was radicalized, and thanks to the Supreme Court, returned here as a citizen. Democrats might be keeping Piker at arm's length, but he is the face of the party. Democrats have embraced radical Islamism and Marxism just like they embraced slavery and segregation in the past. Islamism and Marxism are incompatible with the Judeo-Christian values of America and the Constitution. Most outrageously, Piker says, pound-for-pound, America causes more terrorism than Al-Qaeda. America is turning into Europe, which is dead and doesn't have the will to survive. Later, Bruce Blakeman calls in with an update on the NY Gubernatorial race. Blakeman says that his campaign is in a statistical dead heat, with polling showing him only 3.9% behind in a blue state. New York is facing economic decline, with population, business, and job losses, and warns that continued leadership by Kathy Hochul and Zohran Mamdani would further harm the state. Voters are increasingly recognizing the need for change and policies focused on job creation, economic growth, tax and regulation cuts, lower utility costs, and restoring law and order. Also, many members of Congress lack expertise in AI and data centers yet seek to regulate them. AI development is a competitive race that the United States must win. Any regulation would hinder innovation while allowing other countries to advance. If these doomer-Luddite politicians have their way, the new medicines and technologies resulting from AI data centers that are going to save lives, improve the quality of life, and increase the standard of living for untold numbers of people, would not happen.  They are literally trying to cripple these industries and these businesses, and they are also actively helping the Communist Chinese leapfrog our companies and our country.  Afterward, if the Democrats had their way, they would remove President Trump, Secretary of War Hegseth and Secretary of Education McMahon via impeachment. In other words, they would undertake a coup since impeachment is not intended for the purposes they intend to use it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Many people in Europe think the Moroccan government was involved in the large border crossing in July, when almost 80,000 people entered Ceuta, Spain's North African enclave. Morocco denies this. Also, in Turkey, the prime minister has ordered police to crack down on LGBTQ+ communities in Istanbul, leading to many raids and arrests under obscenity laws to “protect families.” Syria once had one of the biggest bee populations in the Middle East, but only a small number survived the civil war that started in 2011. Now, local farmers are working to bring them back. Plus, an Australian company is producing fire-resistant bras and menstrual briefs. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

The 2026 midterms are approaching, and there is growing pressure on conservatives to sit out elections, reject Republican candidates, or pursue some kind of political accelerationism because Republicans have not accomplished everything conservatives hoped they would.In this episode of Conversations That Matter, I make the case for why Christian conservatives should generally vote Republican in the midterms, while also explaining why voting is not a substitute for the much more important work of Christian discipleship and social renewal.The key distinction is between practical politics and pragmatism. Pragmatism means changing your moral standards to achieve a desired political outcome. Practical judgment means recognizing the political circumstances you actually inhabit and using the tools available to you without changing your moral convictions. As I argue in the episode, morality does not change, but political circumstances and available options do.I also discuss the temptation to abandon the Republican Party because it is imperfect, the dangers of accelerationism, what the experience of Europe can teach us, my own decision not to vote for Donald Trump in 2016, and why that calculation would be different in a competitive state.Finally, I look at what the Trump administration and the MAGA movement have actually accomplished on issues including immigration, DEI, abortion, and foreign policy, and argue that conservatives should consider whether to build on those gains rather than simply destroy the political apparatus because it has not delivered everything they wanted.The question is not whether Republicans are perfect. The question is what political options actually exist, what can be accomplished through them, and how Christians should exercise stewardship in the circumstances God has given us.00:00 The Midterm Question01:05 Voting Is Not Social Renewal03:00 What Political Options Do We Actually Have?05:45 Practical Politics vs. Pragmatism09:00 The Problem With Accelerationism10:25 Why Build on MAGA?16:00 Stewardship and Imperfect Political Options25:45 What Has MAGA Actually Accomplished?Jon's Music: jonharristunes.comTo Support the Podcast: https://www.jonharrismedia.com/support/Become a Patronhttps://www.patreon.com/jonharrispodcastSubstack: https://substack.com/@jonharris Follow Jon on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonharris1989Follow Jon on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jonharris1989/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Britain's political identity is shifting in increasingly strange directions. Pubgoers can now use digital ID on their phones to prove their age when buying alcohol, while the leaders of the SNP, Plaid Cymru and Sinn Féin have joined together around the principle of national self-determination and closer ties with Europe. Meanwhile, Green Party leader Zack Polanski is campaigning in Urdu as he fights for Keir Starmer's former seat in Holborn and St Pancras. I'm joined by Dr. Eric Berg, chiropractor, health educator and author whose work focuses on nutrition, metabolism and the environmental forces that shape our health. His new book, Change Your Environment, argues that lasting change isn't simply a matter of willpower — our food, light, technology, routines and surroundings can quietly influence everything from our habits and energy to the way our bodies function.

French President Emmanuel Macron has warned that the threat of hybrid attacks by Russia against Europe and France has intensified. At a news conference at the Elysee Palace, Macron said he had ordered a plan to protect critical infrastructure and defence industry sites in the face of this threat. Also in the programme: Nigeria's president promises a full investigation into the deaths in detention of dozens of suspected illegal miners; and in the UK, after King Charles disputes a startling claim from Princess Diana's brother about how the King reacted to news of her death...Earl Spencer insists he's telling the truth.

2026 was recorded as one of the hottest summers globally, with deadly heatwaves in Europe and catastrophic floods in Nepal. We discuss how the United Nations put out a report warning that current climate policies will lead to at least 1.8°C of global temperature increase, well beyond the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement raising the alarm on global temperature rise. Also, California is reducing its natural gas consumption by increasing its solar energy battery energy storage and utility scale solar systems. Compared to the rest of the nation, in 2014 the state was producing 10 percent of the country's total gas-fired electricity, but by 2025 it was down to just 4 percent. And Trees provide us with shade, food, beauty and of course, oxygen to breathe. They often outlive humans, and can teach us about life, aging, and how to be better stewards of the earth.

The traditional transatlantic alignment is breaking apart. Driven by Trump's aggressive trade policies, tariff threats, and political volatility from Washington, long-standing allies are rethinking their economic and security strategies. In a landmark moment, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed making Canada the European Union's first-ever "associate member" during an address to the European Parliament in Strasbourg. Alongside Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, leaders outlined a vision for an "Alliance for the Future"—combining critical mineral supply chains, defense manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and energy security into a powerful democratic counterweight.

Cornelia Choe is an international leadership expert, global keynote speaker, and Thinkers50 Radar honoree who has advised hundreds of CEOs and senior leaders across five continents. A Georgetown University and Harvard Kennedy School graduate, Cornelia has worked in private equity at Morgan Stanley and other institutions, supporting leadership teams across Asia, Europe, and North America. Fluent in three languages and having lived in 11 different places, she brings a uniquely global perspective to leadership, decision-making, relationships, and navigating complex, high-stakes environments. Her TEDx talk has been viewed more than two million times. On this episode we talk about: How moving from Minnesota to South Korea at age 10 taught Cornelia to question her assumptions and adapt to new environments The importance of being willing to rewrite your mental “map” when entering a new culture, industry, or situation How Cornelia's early efforts to help women start businesses shaped her perspective on using your efforts to create meaningful change Why embracing uncertainty and constant change can help you develop resilience and better decision-making skills How talking to people with different perspectives can help leaders see a bigger picture and make better decisions Cornelia's approach to personal finance, including the importance of timing, flexibility, savings, and having “dry powder” for unpredictable opportunities Why strong relationships and trust are essential infrastructure for building businesses, leading people, and accessing accurate information Top 3 Takeaways Question the map in your head. The assumptions and mental models that work in one environment may not work in another. When circumstances change, be willing to gather new information, challenge your assumptions, and build a new understanding of how to succeed. Seek perspectives you don't already have. Leaders can easily surround themselves with people who think similarly or tell them what they want to hear. Talking with customers, suppliers, employees, and people who see situations differently can reveal angles you wouldn't see on your own. Build relationships based on trust. Strong relationships aren't just valuable socially—they can become the infrastructure for better leadership, better information, and greater opportunities. Leaders need to create enough trust that people feel safe telling them difficult truths rather than simply telling them what they want to hear. Notable Quotes "We can't just expect to coast through life and do nothing, yet at the same time empowering people so that they can realize their dreams." "Any person in a world of constant change is only able to see a certain part of the puzzle or the certain part of the landscape." "Our relationship network and the relationships that we have in our lives are the infrastructure and the backbone of our ability to create money."

Team USA won another FIBA Women's World Cup, but Ric Bucher believes the tournament exposed a decision USA Basketball won't be able to avoid much longer: Is it time to stop worrying about hierarchy and start giving Caitlin Clark a bigger role?On this episode of On The Ball, Ric breaks down what Clark demonstrated while surrounded by elite talent — scoring when necessary, pushing tempo, creating shots for teammates and adapting her game to whatever Team USA needed. He also examines what the tournament revealed about Paige Bueckers, why Angel Reese and Clark may be far more compatible as teammates than their rivalry suggests, and why the shrinking gap between the U.S. and the rest of the world could soon make reputation-based rotation decisions costly.Then Ric uses a revelation about LeBron James' role in assembling the 2024 Olympic team to explain why the Michael Jordan-vs.-LeBron GOAT debate will never be resolved: their supporters aren't simply arguing over players — they're measuring greatness by fundamentally different standards.Ric also revisits the Clippers/Kawhi Leonard fallout, what some predictions about the Toronto trade misunderstood about the NBA's unwritten rules, and Pablo Torre's face-to-face question to Adam Silver about how the league vets its owners.Finally, Ric shares what he's hearing about NBA Europe, why its launch is struggling, EuroLeague's resistance to surrendering control, and one potential NBA strategy: lure several marquee EuroLeague clubs into a rival competition and let the league's financial muscle do the rest.TIMESTAMPS00:00 – Welcome to On The Ball01:28 – What's ahead: Team USA, Adam Silver and NBA Europe02:16 – Team USA's World Cup title draws record attention03:14 – Why playing the final during NFL Sunday wasn't Team USA's fault04:15 – What national-team basketball reveals about star hierarchy04:25 – Paige Bueckers vs. Caitlin Clark: what their roles revealed04:55 – What makes Clark more than a scorer05:32 – Clark adapts her game to Team USA's stars06:28 – Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese: rivals who actually fit together07:15 – What Reese gives Team USA — and what remains missing offensively07:48 – Could Clark and Reese's Team USA experience change their rivalry?08:55 – The international threat to American women's basketball09:30 – Italy nearly punctures Team USA's aura of invincibility10:29 – Why roster politics could eventually cost the U.S.10:44 – Kara Lawson's veteran starting lineup11:19 – Why Team USA looked different with Clark running the offense11:44 – Is USA Basketball underusing Caitlin Clark?12:14 – How Clark changed her game to fit Team USA13:07 – What LeBron James reportedly did to assemble the 2024 Olympic team13:50 – The fundamental difference between Jordan and LeBron15:21 – LeBron's approach: get as much help as possible16:03 – Why Jordan and LeBron supporters will never agree16:48 – “Jordan's dominance was visceral.

Comme toujours, nous consacrerons la première partie de l'émission à l'actualité. Nous commencerons par un sujet qui fait la une des journaux du monde entier : la nécessité urgente de ralentir le développement de l'intelligence artificielle. Les dirigeants des laboratoires d'IA s'accordent sur la nécessité de mettre en place des garde-fous… mais les responsables politiques les écoutent-ils vraiment ? Nous parlerons ensuite de la manière dont l'islamophobie apparue après les attentats du 11 septembre 2001 a contribué à l'essor de l'extrême droite en Europe et aux États-Unis. Puis, nous évoquerons la Journée mondiale de prévention du suicide, qui a mis en lumière un enjeu majeur de santé publique touchant des millions de personnes dans le monde. Et enfin, nous parlerons du tournoi de tennis de l'US Open, qui s'est terminé dimanche dernier.   Le reste de l'émission d'aujourd'hui sera consacré à la langue et à la culture françaises. Notre point de grammaire de la semaine sera : The use of Conditional Present. Nous nous intéresserons à la lutte contre la fast fashion et commenterons les résultats d'une étude sur les effets pervers des plateformes de vente de vêtements de seconde main. Nous terminerons avec l'expression de la semaine: Mener en bateau. Nous discuterons d'une question qui agite la France depuis quelques jours : suite à l'augmentation du coût de la vie et surtout de l'essence, les Gilets jaunes vont-ils revenir ? - Les dirigeants de la tech américaine appellent à ralentir le développement de l'IA tandis que les responsables politiques tergiversent - Comment l'islamophobie post-11 septembre a fait avancer la politique d'extrême droite en Europe et aux États-Unis - La Journée mondiale de prévention du suicide attire l'attention du monde sur la santé mentale - L'US Open : de nouveaux vainqueurs, des stars très mode et des adieux émouvants - Fast-fashion : l'effet pervers des plateformes de vêtements de seconde main - Les Gilets jaunes sont-ils de retour ?

With the United Nations encouraging wider use of the Equal Earth map, a projection designed to better represent the true size of Earth's landmasses, the Unexpected Elements team have been thinking about distortion and the surprising new ways we can see the world and beyond. We discover that every city's subway system has its own unique microbial fingerprint, so distinctive that researchers can identify a location from a simple swab. Then we meet the black-capped chickadee, a tiny bird whose remarkable memory-map helps it keep track of thousands of hidden food stores.Astrophysicist Miguel Zumalacárregui joins us to explain gravitational lensing, the phenomenon that bends and distorts light as it travels through the Universe. We hear how these cosmic distortions help astronomers study distant galaxies, dark matter and even black holes.We also learn why Europe's mountain summits are becoming greener while still losing rare plants, ask why many continents seem to point downwards, and explore the story behind the online maps in our pockets.All that, plus many more Unexpected Elements.Presenter: Marnie Chesterton, with Andrada Fiscutean and Paul Adepoju Producers: Alice Lipscombe Southwell, with Ella Hubber and Debbie Kilbride

What can living across the world teach us about fertility, identity, and the lives we're building?In this episode, I'm joined by Brittany Haney, who spent nearly 15 years living and working across Asia, including China, Cambodia, and Indonesia. After years of building a life abroad, Brittany found herself in Europe pursuing IVF as part of her journey toward solo parenthood.Brittany opens up about the medical setbacks she has experienced, what it's like to navigate fertility treatment abroad, and why she ultimately chose to pursue IVF in Europe rather than the United States.We talk about learning Mandarin, adapting to new cultures, becoming a global citizen, and how living across different countries has shaped her perspective on identity, fertility, and what it means to create a life on your own terms.We also talk about something that can be surprisingly difficult for women who are accustomed to making things happen: the pause. What happens when you can't control the timeline? When the next chapter isn't yours to force? And what might become possible when you give yourself permission to slow down?It's a candid conversation about fertility, global living, timing, and the perspectives we gain when life takes us somewhere we never expected to be.Send us Fan MailA powerful conversation about freedom, expansion, possibility, and the quiet awakening happening among Black women around the world.

Musician Kole Galbraith (Peoria Tribe) has spent nearly a decade perfecting his unique blend of electronic and acoustic instrumentation and field recordings to create his signature drone-doom sound. Galbraith's musical roots are grounded in metal, noise, free jazz, and musique concrète. He is earning praises from audiences from the Pacific Northwest to Eastern Europe for his honed sound that finds the beauty in dark and abrasive tones. Composer and violinist Laura Ortman (White Mountain Apache) calls her approach to music “sculpting sound.” She often composes for visual art exhibitions and multimedia performances. Like Galbraith, Ortman blends field recordings with her own masterful violin playing, which Vogue has described as “transcendent” and “eccentric.” Her music has taken her to stages throughout Europe and led to collaborations with acclaimed Diné ballet dancer Jock Soto, Diné Pulitzer Prize–winning composer Raven Chacon, and many others. She joins us to talk about her live performances, honoring her Apache heritage, and her unique approach to composing.

Find us at www.crisisinvesting.com  Doug and Matt discuss escalating Yemen-Houthi conflict impacts, including disruption of Saudi oil infrastructure and potential wider geopolitical fallout as oil supplies to Europe tighten and fuel prices rise. They pivot to U.S. policy and market fragility, criticizing short-term political decision-making (including possible diesel export bans), warning about deficits, rising rates, and a looming financial crisis, while outlining a defensive investment stance favoring gold, agriculture, and energy. They debate AI fear narratives as regulatory capture, question returns on massive AI capital spending, and consider state intervention if major firms fail, noting cheaper Chinese models undercut U.S. frontier labs.

In this episode, we kick things off by examining Tesla's ambitious push into the European freight market as the electric vehicle giant ⁠targets late-2027 customer deliveries for the Semi⁠ after demonstrations begin in the first half of that year. The first European trucks will roll off the Reno, Nevada production line, which is designed for fifty thousand units annually, and will feature a 342-mile usable range with the ability to recover more than sixty percent of range in just thirty minutes using Tesla's new Megacharger network of over one hundred stalls across Europe. Shifting gears to the rails, we examine how Norfolk Southern is positioning its proposed combination with Union Pacific as a transformative step for intermodal freight. According to the railroad's leadership, ⁠the proposed mega-merger is central to removing structural friction from the freight network⁠ by creating single-line service for roughly ten thousand existing lanes and eliminating approximately 2,400 railcar handlings and 60,000 car-miles per day. With Norfolk Southern's intermodal volume already up nearly fourteen percent year-over-year, the railroad argues that removing friction rather than simply undercutting truck prices is the key to capturing highway freight. Finally, we cover a critical new resource for freight brokers navigating heightened liability in the wake of a recent Supreme Court ruling. Cambridge Mobile Telematics has ⁠officially launched Freight Safety Intelligence, a platform that analyzes carrier driving behavior⁠ from the previous ninety days and generates real-time carrier-level safety scores. The platform leverages data from carriers' existing telematics systems without requiring new hardware, and it arrives at a crucial moment as brokers face increased exposure to negligent-selection claims following the Supreme Court's ruling in Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II. ⁠Follow the FreightWaves Today Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
