Podcasts about Farhan

We're not talking about the Guardians series because it's not over and that's the only reason. Our Rafael Devers apologists breakdown the Devers press conference and debut. They answer the big questions like "are you a dude?" and "would Farhan have made this trade?"Our new cocktail podcast, The Perfect Sip, is on hiatus but new episodes are in production. (Yeah, it's taking a long time ... life, you know?) If you haven't listened yet, you can catch up here: https://the-perfect-sip.captivate.fm/listenSpeaking of cocktails, today Matthew is drinking a Garden Mule while Ben is drinking a Peary Ginger Highball/Cocktail aka The Peary Gingerful Gingerish Highball or Whatever I Called it at the Beginning of the Show.

In hour 4, Spadoni and Shasky discuss how pleased they are with Buster Posey in his new role with the Giants front office and how this feels like day and night to the Farhan era.

Steiny & Guru wonder what the biggest difference between the two Giants Presidents of Baseball Operations is and why one appears to work and the other didn't.

Giants have won FIVE in a row... Don Nelson draws attention to his days with Warriors before Game 2 of the NBA Finals... Top five MLB Franchises... Posey already better than Farhan? Steiny & Guru dig in!

In Hour 2, Willard and Dibs keep talking San Francisco Giants baseball and engage in a game called "Farhan or Not," where they go around the roster and guess which players were acquired by Farhan Zaidi, the Giants' former president of baseball operations. They're later joined by NBC Sports Bay Area analyst and former left-handed reliever Javier Lopez to talk about the current state of the Giants, including the struggles of shortstop Willy Adames.

It's easy to forget that many of the current members of the Giants roster were acquired before Farhan Zaidi arrived after the 2018 season. Willard and Dibs play a game of "Farhan or Not," where Willard quizzes Dibs on if the player was a Zaidi-acquired piece or not. Dibs does pretty well!

In today's episode I'm speaking with Farwiza Farhan, an amazing forest conservationist working to protect and restore the Leuser ecosystem on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia – the last place on Earth where tigers, elephants, rhinos and orangutans still roam together in the wild. Farwiza has been campaigning to protect it for years, and it was so interesting to hear more about how she approaches conservation and how she collaborated with the communities who live in the area to get their voices heard and protect this precious ecosystem. She also shared why it matters to protect entire ecosystems rather than a few charismatic species, as well as her tips to start making change happen in your own community, and what gives her hope – a much needed reminder in today's world.Want to dive deeper?Follow Farwiza on Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/wiiiiza/Check out her organisation HAkA — https://haka.or.id/Subscribe to the brand new Why We Care newsletter (thank you so much!)Subscribe to the newsletter — https://whywecare.substack.com/Come say hi!Why We Care on Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/whywecarepodcast/Tiphaine on Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/tiphainemarie_/If you enjoyed the episode and want to help the podcast, I would be super grateful if you could leave a little review or share it with a friend who might like it.

As we put the final touches on our Season 2 premiere with Mike Gabbard, we're bringing you a replay of our conversation with Farhan Thawar, VP of Engineering at Shopify. Shopify has been a power user of AI coding assistants, gaining early access to GitHub Copilot before its general release. This episode is packed with insights on Shopify's culture, leadership, and how they leverage AI to ship better software faster. If you missed it the first time, now's the perfect chance to catch up—especially as it sets the stage for next week's discussion with Mike Gehard on AI-assisted product development. Enjoy, and we'll see you next week for the Season 2 premiere! -- In this episode of the Convergence Podcast, host Ashok Sivanand welcomes Farhan Thawar, the Vice President of Engineering at Shopify.

With a rich background in leadership roles at Microsoft, Trilogy, and as Vice President of Engineering at both Extreme Labs and Pivotal Labs—where Ashok had the pleasure of collaborating with him—Farhan brings a wealth of experience in building high-performing, engaging technical teams. This episode explores how Shopify, under Farhan's leadership, operates like a colossal experiment, constantly pushing the boundaries of experimentation and research and development across the company, not just within the product and engineering teams. Listeners will gain insights into Shopify's innovative use of generative AI to enhance customer and team experiences, the integration of tools like Copilot for pair programming, and the effective cultivation of a culture that fosters simplicity in code and robustness in product delivery.

The conversation also covers how Shopify's leadership remains deeply connected to their work and maintains technical sharpness, driving a culture where both the product and the people behind it thrive.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenksy says the incursion into Russia's Kursk region is part of a victory plan he intends to present to US President Joe Biden next month. Mr Zelensky said the main point of the plan was to force Russia to end the war on fair terms. He said it would be up to Mr Biden whether to give Kyiv what was needed to achieve this.Also in the programme: we speak to a Bedouin Arab community leader and friend of hostage Farhan al-Qadi who was rescued from Gaza by Israel's military today; and the plan by Namibia to kill hundreds of wild animals and use the meat to feed its drought-stricken people.
