I spent a big chunk of the summer away working FIFA World Cup, and being away from my business for that long forced me to get really honest about what I wanted to come back to.What still fits? What doesn't? And what actually matters to me now?Those are questions I think many of us need to ask more often.There are so many ideas, tools and opportunities constantly competing for our attention. And now, with AI helping us do more and do it faster, it can feel even harder to know what is actually worth doing.Because AI can speed up execution, but it can't decide what deserves to be executed.In this episode, I'm sharing three questions to help you cut through some of that noise:How many things are you currently trying to make happen?What is the vision now?With that vision in mind, what actually matters next?We'll also talk about why overwhelm isn't always a time-management problem. Sometimes it's a prioritization problem.This is especially true for established founders. When you're creative, capable and able to see the potential in every idea, it can be incredibly difficult to decide which ones deserve your time, energy and money right now.And even if you don't own a business, these questions still apply. Most of us know what it feels like to have too many goals, commitments and ideas competing for the same limited capacity.I also share:Why a good idea isn't always the right priority for this seasonFour questions I use when evaluating a business priorityWhy every yes has a costThe importance of revisiting your vision as you and your business evolveHow The Woo & The Do™ helps us create plans that honour both the vision and our actual capacityMy invitation after listening is simple:Choose one thing that does not deserve your attention right now and move it to your “not now” list.You don't need to do it all. And you definitely don't need to do it all right now.If you have too many priorities competing for your attention and can't see what should come first, this is exactly what my Strategic Mapping work is designed to help with.Together, we look at the business as a whole, decide what belongs in the plan now, what can wait and what needs to be released, and turn those decisions into a focused 365-day roadmap.Because you probably don't need more ideas.You need to know which ones are actually worth your time.Learn more about Strategic Mapping: https://empowerwithpassion.com/map/Book a clarity call: https://empowerwithpassion.com/contact/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andrealeeliving/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrea-lee-biz/Thanks for listening!
Fresh off her hat trick against New Zealand, we're revisiting our interview from earlier this year with Kennedy Fuller, who's now captaining the USWNT at the U-20 FIFA World Cup. Going pro at 16 makes for a different kind of rookie season. And, now entering her fourth, Kennedy Fuller knows it well. In this episode, Tobin and Christen sit down with the midfielder to talk about the reality of being a young pro—loneliness, pressure, confidence, and learning to be a leader on and off the field.

U.S. Global Investors CEO Frank Holmes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the resilience of the global travel industry and why recent volatility in airline and tourism stocks may present a compelling investment opportunity. Holmes noted that while airline shares have faced pressure from geopolitical tensions and rising fuel costs, underlying travel demand remains robust. He pointed to strong passenger traffic and full flights as evidence that consumer appetite for travel continues to outweigh broader market concerns. “The numbers are coming out, Steve, and they're quite dramatically more positive than the negative sentiment,” Holmes said, adding that airlines have largely been able to pass higher fuel costs on to travelers without significantly impacting demand. The discussion focused on the company's TripETF and broader trends across airlines, hotels, cruises, and tourism-related businesses. Holmes highlighted continued strength in international travel demand, particularly between North America, Europe, and Asia, despite ongoing geopolitical disruptions in parts of the world. He also pointed to surging demand for tourism experiences globally, noting that destinations such as Machu Picchu and several major European museums have introduced visitor limits due to overwhelming tourism volumes. According to Holmes, luxury hotels continue to demonstrate strong pricing power, reflecting sustained consumer willingness to spend on premium travel experiences. Holmes added that the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup is expected to provide a major tourism and hospitality boost across Canada, United States, and Mexico. The interview also touched on challenges facing Spirit Airlines, including operational issues tied to aging aircraft fleets, rising energy prices, and customer service concerns. However, Holmes maintained that the broader travel sector continues to appear attractive from a valuation standpoint, suggesting that TripETF may represent one of the more undervalued opportunities in the market based on earnings and cash flow metrics. #proactiveinvestors #usglobalinvestorsinc #nasdaq #TravelETFs #TRIPETF #FrankHolmes #USGlobalInvestors #AirlineStocks #CruiseStocks TravelIndustry #Airlines #Tourism #TripETF #Investing #Hospitality #TravelStocks #MarketOutloo
After stumbling across Jo aka MsArtsyAce on Threads back in December of 2025 and falling in love with her cosplay work, she joins me as a guest. This episode was recorded during the FIFA World Cup, and there are references to the game happening at the time (Mexico vs Ecuador) throughout the episode. With that in mind, we kicked things off by talking about the FIFA World Cup, and Football in general. We both talked about tuning in to the various matches throughout the month at the time, and what draws us in. Jo and I talk about what teams we were rooting for, some of the history of the world cup and changes to the game this year. Jo also talks about the disparities between teams from different nations, and we have a conversation about racism and affluence in the FIFA World Cup, and in the sport in general. Jo also talks about her attention to the sport after the world cup is over, which leagues she may or may not watch, and more. We then go from Mexico to Westeros, as we talk about House of the Dragon. Jo talks about how she got into the series, her experience with watching Game of Thrones, and characters that she loves from the series. We also talk about some of the casting of the series (Hello Steve Toussaint, aka Lord Corlys Velaryon, and Clinton Liberty aka Addam of Hull), stories we'd love to see explored in Game of Thrones series (I seriously learned about things I didn't know thanks to Jo, and did lots of Wiki-diving after the episode). Recorded during the early part of this season, we do speculate about what was to come. Tell us how we did! Jo and I then wrap up by talking about Cosplay. We talk about how she got into cosplay, the characters she's cosplayed, competing and winning a Judges Award at C2E2, and what she's working on in the future.

rWotD Episode 3420: Gonzalo Higuaín Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Monday, 14 September 2026, is Gonzalo Higuaín.Gonzalo Gerardo Higuaín (Spanish: [iɣwaˈin]; born 10 December 1987) is an Argentine professional football coach and former player who played as a striker. He is a player development coach for Major League Soccer club Inter Miami. Nicknamed El Pipita or Pipa, Higuaín was a prolific striker known for his eye for goal, strong physique, offensive movements and predatory finishing, and is considered to be one of the best strikers of his generation.Higuaín started his career with Argentine club River Plate, before a transfer to Real Madrid in January 2007. After lacklustre performances in his first two seasons, Higuaín went on to score 97 goals in his next 146 games for Madrid, and was pivotal in the club's historic 100 points tally in the 2011–12 La Liga title win. His time in Spain saw him win three La Liga titles in total. In 2013, Higuaín joined Italian side Napoli for €40 million. in his first season, he helped his club win the Coppa Italia, which was only their second domestic honour since 1990. In the 2015–16 season, he was vital in Napoli's title race with Juventus, scoring 36 goals to win the Capocannoniere title and breaking the record for most goals in a Serie A season.Italian champions Juventus signed Higuaín for €90 million in 2016, becoming one of the most expensive transfers of all time and the highest ever transfer for an Italian club. He won domestic doubles in his first two seasons with Juventus, also reaching the 2017 Champions League final. At Juventus, Higuaín scored his 100th goal in Serie A, making him only the second player to score over 100 goals in two of the top European leagues in the past 20 seasons. He went on to have loan spells at AC Milan and Chelsea, winning the UEFA Europa League with the latter. He signed for American side Inter Miami in 2020 before retiring in 2022.Born in France to Argentine parents, Higuaín obtained Argentine citizenship in 2007, having previously only been a French national. He made his full international debut for Argentina in 2009; he represented the country at three FIFA World Cups and three Copa América tournaments, helping them to second-place finishes at the 2014 World Cup, the 2015 Copa América, and the Copa América Centenario in 2016. After no longer being called-up following Argentina's round-of-16 exit at the 2018 World Cup, he announced his retirement from international football in March 2019. In total, he earned 75 caps for his nation, scoring 31 goals.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:46 UTC on Monday, 14 September 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Gonzalo Higuaín on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Tiffany.
Seattle public safety is facing renewed scrutiny after three separate shootings in the Belltown neighborhood left three people dead and three others injured, with no arrests announced in connection with the killings at the time of this episode. Seattle Police Officers Guild President Kent Lou is now calling for broader changes to Seattle's criminal justice system, arguing that adding police officers alone will not solve the city's crime problems without consequences for repeat offenders, functioning jails, prosecutors and judges working alongside law enforcement. Lou says Seattle police officers repeatedly encounter difficulties booking suspects into jail and argues the city's revolving-door criminal justice system is making it harder for officers to address repeat crime. He is also calling for stronger action against illegal street takeovers, including vehicle seizures and expanded use of surveillance cameras. The criticism comes as Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson responds to the deadly Belltown weekend. Wilson says Seattle Police Department data show shootings and homicides remain at their lowest levels in a decade and says her administration will soon unveil a comprehensive gun violence prevention strategy. The mayor's office also responded to criticism over Seattle's surveillance camera policy. Wilson paused camera expansion pending a data security and privacy audit after cameras were temporarily used during the FIFA World Cup. The Seattle Police Officers Guild is questioning why those cameras aren't currently operating around Seattle's stadium district. Also on Washington in Focus Daily: More than $100 million in federal funding has gone toward the Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion, or LEAD, model that originated in Seattle and King County and has since been replicated around the country. Washington Policy Center researcher Eric Zimmerman is calling for Congress to pause additional LEAD funding and scrutinize claims about the program's effectiveness. Zimmerman has challenged statistics used to promote LEAD's success, including recidivism data, and argues policymakers need stronger evidence before committing additional taxpayer dollars. LEAD co-founder Lisa Daugaard disputes attempts to connect the diversion program to Washington's broader homelessness and drug overdose problems, arguing LEAD has produced successful outcomes even as Seattle and Washington struggle with larger homelessness, addiction and public safety challenges. Finally, Washington high school wrestler Kallie Keeler and her mother are taking their girls sports and Title IX case to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Alliance Defending Freedom has filed an emergency motion seeking protections before the upcoming wrestling season. Keeler and her mother are asking for advance notice if she is scheduled to compete against a transgender opponent so that her family can decide whether she participates in the match. Washington in Focus Daily breaks down Seattle's deadly Belltown shootings, Mayor Katie Wilson's public safety response, criticism from the Seattle Police Officers Guild, Seattle surveillance cameras, the $100 million LEAD diversion controversy, federal taxpayer funding, homelessness and drug policy, and the Washington girls wrestling case now before the Ninth Circuit. #Seattle #SeattleCrime #SeattlePolice #KatieWilson #SeattleNews #PublicSafety #Belltown #LEAD #WashingtonState #WashingtonNews #GirlsSports #TitleIX #NinthCircuit #WashingtonPolitics #TheCenterSquare Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Is the Consumer Price Index accurately measuring the inflation Americans actually experience? Lance Roberts talks with Oliver Rust of Truflation about how real-time inflation data can differ from traditional CPI measurements. They examine housing and rent concessions, regional price differences, consumer substitution, the K-shaped economy, housing affordability, and the continuing resilience of consumer spending. Oliver also explains how Truflation builds its inflation index, where its methodology differs from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, its work with the Federal Reserve, and what its data says about inflation now. Plus, they discuss what could come next as Truflation expands into employment and other economic indicators.

Dr. Erin Ayala sits down with Dr. Tara‑Leigh McHugh, a Canada Research Chair in sport and physical activity at the University of Calgary.They explore the hidden challenges faced by mother‑coaches in high‑performance sport, uncovering systemic barriers, the “mother penalty,” and why women's expertise is often undervalued.You'll hear concrete strategies for advocating for better policies and supporting women leaders in sport and business.Key Takeaways:- Mother‑coaches experience a “double penalty” of gender bias and motherhood expectations, leading to reduced pay, contract insecurity, and career stagnation.- Clear, enforceable protections (e.g., parental‑leave policies, contract clauses) are essential first steps for organizations.- Building mentorship networks and leveraging social media can help mother‑coaches combat isolation and share resources.- Organizations benefit from inclusive policies: diverse coaching perspectives improve performance outcomes and athlete wellbeing.- Entrepreneurs should audit their own workplaces for hidden biases and implement transparent, equity‑focused hiring and retention practices.Dr. McHugh's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tara-leigh-mchugh-0443493a2 -Article on women's representation in FIFA World Cup coaching (2026 study) – https://doi.org/10.1080/14660970.2025.2603769Enjoyed the conversation?

In this episode of the Multilingual Montessori Podcast, Gabrielle and Jenna answer a question from a parent raising her son with Portuguese while he attends a Spanish-language preschool. She's concerned that the similarities between Portuguese and Spanish, along with her own occasional mistakes in Portuguese, might lead to confusion or affect her son's Portuguese language development.We talk about mutually intelligible languages, cognates, and language transfer, and why learning similar languages can actually be an advantage for multilingual children. We also discuss how parents can help children notice the differences between languages and develop metalinguistic awareness without worrying about language confusion.Plus, we share practical strategies for increasing minority-language input when local resources are limited. We also discuss the complementarity principle and why multilingual children don't need to know the same words or have identical vocabularies in all of their languages!Along the way, we share some of our own multilingual adventures, including Gabrielle's experience volunteering at the FIFA World Cup in New York and what Jenna has learned from having her phone in German for the past four years.

W. Stephen Love, president and CEO of the Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council, joins host Dan Karnuta for a discussion about how North Texas hospitals collaborate to prepare for disasters, supply shortages and other emergencies. Drawing on lessons learned from COVID-19, Hurricane Katrina and previous mass-casualty planning, Love describes how hospitals share equipment, personnel and expertise, expand critical-care capacity and support rural facilities that may have fewer resources. Love then discusses the 18 months of preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which brought millions of international visitors to North Texas. Hospitals, public-health agencies, emergency responders and local governments planned for extreme heat, infectious diseases, language barriers and large gatherings across the region. The coordination paid off: approximately 2,000 visitors received emergency care, with an estimated 98% of those encounters involving heat-related illnesses. Read more in D CEO about Stephen Love's career and leadership. Karnuta is an associate professor in the Naveen Jindal School of Management's Organizations, Strategy and International Management Area as well as director of its Professional Program in Healthcare Management.

In Owasso, two quarries are seeking special exceptions to allow limestone mining in land currently zoned for agriculture. It is proposed to be located only 425 feet away from some residents' homes. A group of locals has banded together to fight against the encroaching quarries and push for policy change to protect others in the future. Their current success, however, lies in the hands of former mayor of Tulsa, William Lafortune, now a district judge, who is overseeing one quarry company's appeal to overturn a ruling made in favor of residents. Aristotle Orsini spoke with some of those impacted.In North Tulsa, a new elder nutrition program is bringing more than meals to Cherokee Freedmen elders, it's creating an opportunity for connection, community, and care. Deon Osborne explores the launch of this new initiative, the needs it hopes to address, and the people working to make sure Cherokee Freedmen elders in North Tulsa have access to both nutritious food and a stronger sense of community.What does it mean to live in a place that was never meant to feel like home? Across the country, extended stay hotels have become a last resort for individuals and families navigating housing instability. Behind those doors are stories often overlooked: of stress, isolation, resilience, and the quiet toll that instability takes on mental health. For those living on the margins, where access to care is limited and community can feel out of reach, how do people cope—and what support truly exists? FBO's Nick Alexandrov reports from East Tulsa.The world's biggest sporting event arrived in Texas, bringing the excitement and energy of the FIFA World Cup to Dallas. For Texans, this was more than a series of football / soccer matches, it was a chance to experience a truly global event in their own backyard, bringing together fans, cultures, and communities from around the world. Phil Childs explores how the FIFA World Cup created a sense of celebration across North Texas.A new anthology published by OK Stamp Press asks what the future might look like through Indigenous eyes. Each short story in the compilation From the Heart of Our Nations is set 250 years in the future and written by Indigenous writers in their teens to early thirties. FBO spoke with editor Kashonah Notah and project creator Rebecca Nagle, both are Tulsa Artist Fellows, about the origins of the collection, which can be purchased at Magic City Books in Tulsa.

Global prediction markets are booming. Trading volumes reached a record US$24 billion in April this year, heavily driven by excitement over the FIFA World Cup and sports betting. But with that expansive growth come risks. Recent high-profile cases alleging insider trading related to the markets have alarmed businesses over the fear employees could exploit their nonpublic information for personal gain. Regulators have taken notice, and enforcement is on the rise. How can businesses protect themselves from insiders who might use the prediction markets for ill gain? How significant is the enforcement and regulatory impact on companies? And what's on the horizon as the prediction markets continue to captivate the public? Join The Sidley Podcast host and Sidley partner, Sam Gandhi, as he speaks with two of the firm's thought leaders on these issues — Ian McGinley, a partner in Sidley's Securities Enforcement and Regulatory and White Collar Defense and Investigations practices and a former Commodity Futures Trading Commission director of enforcement, and Matthew Podolsky, also a partner in Sidley's Securities Enforcement and Regulatory and White Collar Defense and Investigations practices. Matt is a former acting United States attorney for the Southern District of New York and former chief of their Securities and Commodities Fraud Task Force. Together, they discuss the exponential growth of the prediction markets, what is driving that growth, and the real-world risks of insider trading prosecutions related to engaging with those markets.

Interview Date: August 9th, 2026 Episode Summary:In this episode of The Business of Dance Podcast, Menina Fortunato sits down with Canadian choreographer Alex Francoeur to trace the journey that took him from a nine-year-old boy reluctantly entering his first hip-hop class in Quebec to building a full-time career across performance, choreography, television, live production, and entrepreneurship. Alex shares how early professional opportunities showed him that dance could become a real career, eventually leading him from Montreal to Toronto, New York, and Los Angeles. Along the way, he reflects on the mentors, relationships, O-1 visa journey, and willingness to take risks that shaped his path.Alex also opens up about the major turning points that redirected his career, including Révolution, receiving a Golden Buzzer on France's Got Talent, and discovering his voice as a choreographer and creative leader. He explains why genuine relationships matter just as much as talent, how assisting choreographers for years unknowingly prepared him to lead, and why defining success on your own terms can completely change your trajectory.The conversation dives into one of Alex's biggest projects yet: serving as head choreographer for the Opening Ceremony of the FIFA World Cup 2026, including the massive audition and rehearsal process behind the production. During the Q&A, Alex shares valuable advice about auditions, skeleton crews, networking, personal branding, leveraging opportunities, and treating yourself like a business. Above all, he encourages dancers to enjoy the journey, stay curious, build meaningful relationships, and recognize that every experience is preparing them for what comes next.Shownotes:00:42 – Starting dance at nine in Quebec05:09 – Discovering dance could become a career10:28 – Relationships that led to FIFA World Cup15:14 – Taking a one-way chance on Los Angeles18:04 – Révolution performance changes Alex's career20:11 – Becoming his own brand and business22:29 – Unexpected transition from dancer to choreographer25:51 – Building an international dance convention company28:21 – Defining success on your own terms32:09 – Choreographing FIFA with 125 dancers35:16 – Inside the massive FIFA audition process54:04 – Q&A: Why skeleton crews create opportunities57:43 – Q&A: Receiving the life-changing FIFA call1:05:13 – Q&A: Treating yourself like a business1:11:16 – Final advice: Believe and enjoy the journeyBiography:Alex Francoeur is a Canadian choreographer who creates large-scale movement for the world's biggest stages — from sold-out arenas to global broadcast events reaching millions of viewers.With more than 100 television episodes to his name and live productions staged before crowds exceeding 100,000 spectators, Alex has built a reputation for choreography that merges precision, storytelling, and raw emotional impact.

The summer of 2026 burned the largest wildfire in Spain's recorded history and the largest France has seen since the Second World War. June's heat killed more than 10,000 people across Europe. A heat dome held North Africa and the Sahel above 45°C for days. In Assam, the Brahmaputra put 700,000 people out of their homes.But it was in the United States, in its hottest month in 132 years of records, that climate reporting found its biggest audience of the summer, in the least likely slot imaginable.Footballers at the FIFA Men's World Cup had to stop mid-half to drink, cool down and put on ice vests. Two US broadcasters held the rights to those three minutes. One sold them to advertisers. The other used them to explain why the players were stopping at all. This week Christiana Figueres speaks with Vanessa Hauc, Emmy award-winning anchor at Noticias Telemundo and creator of its climate unit, Planeta Tierra. Vanessa got Telemundo to hand her time during the hydration breaks. Forty seconds, Saudi Aramco's branding in shot, to tell viewers why the players needed to stop. While competitors sold advertising slots generating an estimated $1bn globally, millions tuned in to Vanessa explaining how human-driven climate change, caused by burning fossil fuels, was responsible for the crisis.Tom Rivett-Carnac and Paul Dickinson join Christiana to pick apart why simply reporting a hotter world is still treated as a provocation, and the three of them take stock of a summer of record heat, Spain's tumbling power prices and the case for telling the economic story better.What does it take to reach people who will never open a scientific paper but will not miss a match? And why is telling it like it is still the risky option?Plus, a first look at the next three episodes. Tom has been somewhere that holds the best and the worst of this transition at once. Stay tuned for the end of the episode.Learn More⚽ Read Climate Change Big Player at FIFA World Cup 2026, the World Weather Attribution study Vanessa's team built the reporting on
