In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Evelyn Ackah discuss:Reframing challenges as opportunitiesBuilding security through owning your book of businessDesigning a firm around delegation and technologyProtecting culture by hiring and leading with intention Key Takeaways:Success begins with asking whether challenges are happening to you or for you. A growth-oriented mindset is not optional for entrepreneurs and rainmakers. Those who thrive train themselves to see obstacles as openings, not endings.Relying solely on servicing others' clients limits mobility and control. Developing your own clients creates long-term security and professional freedom. Rainmaking is a learnable skill built through systems, discipline, and study.High-value leaders focus only on work they alone can do. Everything else can be delegated, automated, or systemized through tools and virtual teams. Intentional tech stacks and strong delegation enable autonomy, even four-day workweeks.Skills can be trained, but values and attitude determine long-term fit. Toxic hires damage momentum and must be addressed quickly. Great leaders invest in coaches, mentors, and team development to sustain growth. "Your staff are your dream builders. They help you create your dream. And so you want to invest in them just as much as they're investing in your success." — Evelyn Ackah Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again.

How a patient survived for 48 hours without lungs. Too ill to receive a lung transplant straight away, the man relied on an artificial lung while his body recovered from an infection. As he prepares to repeat the procedure for the first time, Dr Ankit Bharat, Chief of Thoracic Surgery at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine explains the groundbreaking technique. Radiotherapy for abdominal cancers can severely damage the uterus and ovaries, causing infertility. However, a team have developed a technique where the uterus is moved out of harm's way during treatment, and now the first baby has been born to a recipient in Europe. Our studio guest today, genito-urinary consultant Vanessa Apea, explains how it worked and what it might mean for patients. Measles cases are on the rise in many parts of the world with more and more countries losing their elimination status.

Everyone's got a weapon. Everyone's got a weakness.In Industry Season 4, Episode 6 — “Dear Henry” — the knives come out. Eric goes on CNN for what feels like a final stand. Harper delivers her most surgical strike yet. Whitney scrambles as the walls close in. And by the end? Nothing is the same.Brandon & Chanel break down one of the most ruthless episodes of the season — where narrative becomes a weapon, loyalty collapses, and ambition eats its own.
Host Victor opens by previewing the podcast's current coverage: HBO's Industry (focus of this episode), The Pitt on HBO Max, Apple TV+'s Drops of God, and a Christopher Nolan rewatch ahead of The Odyssey (with upcoming discussion of Insomnia). He also mentions upcoming premieres including Paradise, which remains the podcast's most popular show. mailto:needssomeintroduction@gmail.com Victor calls Industry's episode “Dear Henry” an elite, event-packed installment that feels like a season finale while resolving little. He follows up on last week's revelation that Tender is effectively a Ponzi scheme by outlining real-world analogs: the FTX collapse (FTX/Alameda circular self-inflation via the FTT token), Germany's Wirecard fraud (manufactured transactions, overpaying for acquisitions, auditors' failures, and political/regulatory protection including actions against Financial Times reporting), and Theranos as a charisma-driven deception. He also notes money-laundering examples involving Ghana and argues the show's broader theme is the emptiness of a culture fixated on wealth, valuation, and belief-driven “truth,” raising questions about how much corporate value is overstated and whether society celebrates con men. Joined by Darren, they first discuss the Game of Thrones prequel A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (episodes 1–5), praising its intimacy, sets, humor, acting, and a brutal recent battle episode, and noting its short season and fast production cadence. They then break down “Dear Henry”: Harper warns Yasmin that she and Henry were duped by Whitney, and while Yasmin reacts defensively, the warning sinks in. Whitney's unsettling dynamic with Henry escalates (including a bathroom/shower moment and later clubbing), while Henry grows suspicious about Tender's audit and Whitney's manipulation. Sweetpea's public takedown presentation at an Alpha conference drives Tender's stock down sharply and impresses Eric, who watches with pride. In Ghana, a planned whistleblower meeting is disrupted when Whitney arrives first and intimidates the potential source (Tony), reinforcing fears of more dangerous forces behind Tender. Later, Whitney is revealed to be using a fabricated identity (a Lithuanian passport is shown) and a conversation indicates Russian-linked backers are laundering money through Tender, trapping Whitney and raising the stakes for everyone. They discuss Whitney's use of high-end escorts as tools for access and influence; Hayley confirms she and others were planted around key figures and that sex acts were recorded, confronting Yasmin with how they were exploited. Eric receives a compromising video involving an underage girl (“Dolly”) while with his daughter, but still appears on TV to push for a new audit, warning Whitney not to corner him and implying he could expose Whitney. Henry fires an auditor and tries to assert control as CEO, while Whitney continues drafting a “Dear Henry” letter about a “hole in the bucket,” revealed as a cash-flow/shortfall problem. The episode culminates in Eric meeting Harper with a lawyer present; he asks only for his original investment back to be put in trusts for his daughters if the short pays off, suggesting he may be planning to exit entirely. Eric admits he felt genuine pride watching Sweetpea, more than he expected he could feel, and the final image of him walking alone fuels Victor and Darren's concern about possible suicide or at least Eric's departure from the show. They close by anticipating two remaining Industry episodes, the A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms finale, and the upcoming launch of Paradise, while noting Darren will be traveling and will catch up later. 00:00 Welcome & What We're Covering This Week (Industry, The Pit, Drops of God, Nolan Rewatch) 02:36 Why This Week's Industry Episode ‘Dear Henry' Feels Like a Finale 03:20 Tender as a Ponzi: Looking for Real-World Analogs 05:24 FTX Explained: The Circular Token House of Cards 10:27 Wirecard: The Closer European Parallel (Fraud, Audits, Politics) 18:26 More Scams & Money Laundering Threads: Theranos, Ghana, and Beyond 19:59 What Industry Is Really Saying: The Emptiness of Wealth Culture 23:49 Darren Joins: Quick Detour Into the New GoT Prequel ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' 39:41 Back to Industry: First Impressions, Then Scene-by-Scene Breakdown Begins (Yasmin & Harper) 42:46 Yasmin vs. Harper: Self-Made Power vs. Riding Coattails 43:32 Trailer Talk: Are Harper & Yasmin Two Sides of the Same Coin? 45:48 Whitney's Shower Ambush & the ‘Hole in the Bucket' Letter 49:44 Boarding School ‘Experimentation' and Henry's Growing Suspicion 52:12 Whitney's Intimate Manipulation: Touch, Jealousy, and Control 57:03 Political Satire + Real-World Scam Parallels (FTX, Wirecard, Theranos) 01:01:35 ‘Too Big to Fail' Lies: Can a Fake World Hold Together? 01:03:06 Clubbing, Relapse Energy, and Henry's Night Spirals 01:05:53 Was Jim's Overdose a Setup?

Send a textIn this conversation, Ricardo Karam sits down with Dr. Ali Taher in a meeting that goes beyond medicine as a profession and explores it as a profound human act and an art of listening. From a childhood between Ghana and Beirut that shaped his view of diversity, to difficult experiences that deepened his understanding of human vulnerability, and on to London where he learned that a doctor's humanity begins with caring for oneself a different journey toward the meaning of healing unfolds.The discussion approaches illness as it is lived by people, not just as it is written in textbooks. Dr. Taher speaks about seeing every patient as a story, not a case, and how cultural diversity shaped him into a physician who sees difference as richness, not threat.In a scientific segment told through a human lens, he explains how he helped shift the global understanding of thalassemia in ways that protect patients' dignity and quality of life. He reflects on what it means for research to truly serve people, through founding a thalassemia center in Lebanon and helping build a sustainable medical model.Join Ricardo Karam and Ali Taher in a thoughtful conversation about the meaning of healing, when medicine becomes more than treatment, and listening becomes the beginning of care.في هذا الحديث، يجلس ريكاردو كرم مع الدكتورعلي طاهر في لقاء يتجاوز الطب كمهنة ليدخل إلى جوهره كفعل إنساني وفنّ في الإصغاء. من طفولةٍ بين غانا وبيروت شكّلت نظرته للتنوّع، إلى تجارب صعبة عمّقت فهمه لهشاشة الإنسان، وصولاً إلى لندن حيث تعلّم أن إنسانية الطبيب تبدأ بالاعتناء بنفسه تتكوّن رحلة مختلفة في معنى الشفاء.يتناول اللقاء تجربة المرض كما يعيشها الإنسان لا كما تُكتب في الكتب. يتحدث طاهر عن رؤيته لكل مريض كقصة لا كحالة، وعن أثر التعدد الثقافي في تكوين طبيب يرى في الاختلاف ثراءً لا تهديداً. وفي محور علمي بلغة إنسانية، يشرح كيف ساهم في تغيير الفهم العالمي لمرض الثلاسيميا بما يحفظ كرامة المريض ونوعية حياته، ويتوقف عند معنى أن يكون البحث العلمي خدمة حقيقية للناس، من خلال تأسيس مركز الثلاسيميا في لبنان وبناء نموذج طبي مستدام.انضموا إلى ريكاردو كرم وعلي طاهر في لقاءٍ يتأمل معنى الشفاء، حين يصبح الطب أكثر من علاج، ويصبح الإصغاء بداية الطريق.

From student loan anxiety to financial liberation through mindset transformation - and the brutal truth about why your salary doesn't determine your wealth but the quality and quantity of your work does, the Andrew Carnegie revelation that workers set their own income by going beyond bare minimum to broker deals and provide value 24/7, the student loan crisis phone call that revealed how one sister's crippling fear was solved in a single conversation by explaining income-based repayment plans where healthcare workers pay 10% of income for 10 years then get forgiveness, leading to her getting married and buying her first home within a year, and why that moment became the birth of Investing Tutor when a Google search revealed no one in America or the world held the title of "investment tutor" making it possible to become the first, while the real question becomes: why are people not educating themselves about money when Henry Ford said if people truly understood how money works there'd be a riot the next day, because people are so busy earning money they haven't taken time to understand how it's created and how it works, and the marriage analogy proves everything - people enter marriage based on what they saw at home without reading a marriage 101 guide, people enter friendships without studying relationships, and people chase money without understanding the financial system, leaving them trapped in the distraction of working for paychecks instead of building wealth through quality work, quantity of value, and strategic positioning in assets that appreciate over time. In this raw episode of Konnected Minds, host Derrick Abaitey sits down with Dr. Hans - the investing tutor - who dismantles the dangerous "get a degree, get a job, get paid" mentality keeping people locked in financial mediocrity, revealing the exact moment when a close friend's sister was paralyzed by student loan anxiety and couldn't imagine getting married or buying a house, when one phone call explaining that student loans are actually the best debt in America because you can get on income-based repayment plans where healthcare workers pay just 10% of income for 10 years then receive forgiveness changed her entire life, when Derek a year after that conversation she got married in a beautiful wedding and purchased her first home, when that experience became the catalyst for Investing Tutor because it exposed how many people don't know basic information about the financial system, when during that same week a close friend from Ghana called saying "Hans I just started a new job and I keep hearing stocks, stocks, stocks but I know nothing about stocks," when the shock of realizing people don't understand stocks led to a Google search for "investment tutor" and the search results came back with zero people in America or anywhere in the world holding that title, when that gap made it possible to earn the title of the first investment tutor in America. This isn't motivational wealth-building talk from Instagram financial gurus - it's a systematic breakdown of why Andrew Carnegie's revelation that workers set their own salary by quality and quantity of work dismantles the victim mentality that bosses control your income, why student loan anxiety can be solved in one phone call by understanding income-based repayment plans that forgive debt after 10 years for healthcare workers, why that phone call led to a marriage and a first home purchase within a year proving financial education changes lives immediately, why Googling "investment tutor" and finding zero results in America or the world created the opportunity to become the first and earn that title, why Henry Ford said if people truly understood how money works there'd be a riot the next day because the system is designed to keep people distracted earning paychecks instead of building wealth, why stopping at business class on your first flight from Ghana to the US and saying "this is where we should be sitting" is the mindset that separates those who build generational wealth from those who accept economy seating for life.

Petutschnig Hons stolpert mitten in die Hochphase des Faschings und erzählt, wie sich seine eigene Feierlaune über die Jahre verflüchtigt hat, während das Dorf zwischen Konfetti, Klopfern und Eltern‑Taxi langsam im Chaos versinkt. Mit spitzer Zunge kommentiert er den Opernball – von Sharon Stones Tränen bis zu Logenpreisen, die an Kleinwagen erinnern – und wundert sich über Schönheitsideale, die Gesichter unbeweglich machen. Auch die SPÖ, Erbschaftssteuer‑Debatten und Luxusgüter bekommen ihr Fett ab, bevor er sich über internationale Steuerschlupflöcher aufregt und die Schokoladepreise zwischen Ghana und heimischen Supermärkten einordnet. Zum Schluss wird's wieder sportlich: Olympia‑Erfolge, Skisprung‑Pannen und die Frage, warum Skeleton olympisch bleibt, aber die nordische Kombination wackelt.

From $7-an-hour immigrant poverty to street gambling losses to the brutal truth about Bitcoin as the greatest wealth transfer in human history - and why day trading is a scam that tries to create a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant, the MTN stock that went from 1.70 to explosive growth proving 18-19% portfolio gains are real when you commit to long-term investing, the Apple stock lesson that shows trading back and forth for 50% wins and 50% losses is foolish compared to buying and holding from 2008 iPhone launch to today for 1000%+ returns, and why land is locally powerful within Ghana's borders but Bitcoin is globally powerful with the same price in Accra, Turkey, Europe, US, and Australia - making it the first property an individual can hold and access anywhere on earth with just Wi-Fi or a data plan, while the real revelation is that the super rich have most of their wealth trapped in properties and stocks so God devised a way to slowly funnel a portion of that money into something else to distribute the wealth and that vehicle is Bitcoin, and the question for every Ghanaian becomes: do you need to see electricity to benefit from it every day, do you need to see Facebook and Instagram to use the multi-trillion dollar platforms, or can you educate yourself about digital assets and get exposure to the wealth transfer happening right now before it's too late. In this raw episode of Konnected Minds, host Derrick Abaitey sits down with Dr. Hans - the investing tutor - who dismantles the dangerous "I can't see it so I won't invest in it" mentality keeping Africans locked out of the greatest wealth transfer in human history, revealing the exact moment when his family immigrated to America and went from upper middle class in Ghana to bottom 10% in New York, when he was working at a children's clothing store in the Bronx earning $7 an hour carrying racks of clothes from upstairs to the sales floor, when one Friday he was paid $250 for the week's work and walked outside to see a group of boys playing the three-cup shell game shuffling cups over a ball, when he stood there for 10-15 minutes watching and every single cup he thought had the ball was correct when someone else played, when he pulled out $100 and pointed to the right cup but when they picked it up the ball wasn't there, when he said "that was a mistake, maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention" and took out the other $100 from his week's pay, when this time they shuffled slow and he saw the ball with his own eyes going to the left cup. When Bitcoin became the answer because the price of Bitcoin in Ghana is the same as the price in Turkey, Europe, US, and Australia making it the first property an individual can hold and access anywhere on earth so far as there's an internet connection, when the greatest wealth transfer explanation made it clear that the super rich have most of their money trapped in properties and stocks so God devised a way to slowly funnel a portion of that wealth into something else to distribute it and that vehicle is Bitcoin, and when the final message became simple: people don't see electricity but benefit from it every day, people don't see Facebook and Instagram but use the multi-trillion dollar platforms daily, so you don't need to see something to benefit from it - you just need to educate yourself and get exposure to digital assets before the wealth transfer passes you by. This isn't motivational wealth-building talk from Instagram financial gurus - it's a systematic breakdown of why the $7-an-hour immigrant who lost $200 in a street gambling scam learned that day trading is trying to create a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant, why Bitcoin is globally powerful because the price is identical in Accra, Turkey, Europe, US, and Australia making it the first property you can hold and access anywhere on earth with just Wi-Fi, why the super rich have most of their wealth trapped in properties and stocks so Bitcoin is God's way of slowly funneling a portion of that money into something else to distribute the wealth, why people don't see electricity but benefit from it every day and don't see Facebook or Instagram but use the multi-trillion dollar platforms daily proving you don't need to see something to benefit from it, why educating yourself before getting exposure to digital assets is critical because this is the greatest wealth transfer in human history, why discipline beats motivation when building wealth, and why success is not what you attract but who you become - making the journey of financial education and exposure to stocks, real estate, cash cows, and Bitcoin the only path to generational wealth for Ghanaians and Africans ready to stop watching from the sidelines and start participating in the systems the rich use to build fortunes.

What does it really take to build an ethical supply chain from the ground up? In this show, we learn from one of the very best. Note: Shows are never sponsored, ie companies paying us to appear on the show. An ad is an ad, and the show is the show. I'm publishing this because we all need to believe there are companies out there with mounting proof of concept that you can design for a better world through business. In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Gero Leson, an accomplished physicist and environmental scientist who has worked for some of the biggest companies in the world and then met David Bronner, CEO of Dr Bronner's. David implored him to join Dr Bronner's in the early 2000's, on a mission to build an ethical supply chain of the highest standards. We explore how one of the world's most values-led companies approaches transparency, cross-cultural leadership and business ethics in practice - not just in marketing.Gero shares how Dr Bronner's moved beyond buying ingredients on the open market, moved beyond labels and just ‘trusting it was fine because it sounds good'. They've built companies that farm and produce the raw materials that they use for their famous soaps and other products, as well as selling the raw materials to other brands seeking a fully transparent and ethical, regenerative supply chain. They've done this in Sri Lanka, Ghana, India and beyond. From creating fair-trade supply chains where none had existed to the standard they wanted to uphold, to investing in regenerative agroforestry, community education and healthcare. This is business as a vehicle for agency and dignity.We discuss:Why radical transparency is becoming the antidote to consumer distrustHow ethical sourcing is not about fixing one issue, but committing to long-term engagementThe power of leadership teams over heroic individual leadersWhy dignity and agency motivate teams more than rules and controlThe balance between efficiency and humanity in global businessThis conversation is not idealistic. It is grounded, complex and honest about the challenges. But it is also deeply hopeful. Gero says, “We joke about saving the world with soap but in a way, it's true”.

Burundi het op die Afrika-Unie se 39ste beraad in Addis Abeba, die voorsitterskap vir 2026 oorgeneem. Burundi se president, Évariste Ndayishimiye, volg João Lourenço van Angola op. Ghana se president, John Dramani Mahama, is tot eerste ondervoorsitter verkies. Ndayishimiye het toegewyde diens aan Afrika met sy uiteenlopendheid belowe asook as eenheid, onpartydigheid en sterker wêreldwye voorspraak vir die vasteland:
From village poverty to German scholarship to the brutal truth about wealth mindset - and why most Ghanaians don't believe they deserve to be wealthy, the parable of the talents that exposes fear-based decision making where the servant hid his one talent instead of investing it because "I was afraid," the $100 plot of land in Accra that's now worth $250,000 USD proving early adopters of scarce assets win generational wealth, and why your money sitting in a bank account loses purchasing power every single year as gallon of gas goes from $2 to $2.20 and movie tickets get more expensive and food costs more - meaning that 2,000 cedis you saved last year can't buy what it used to buy this year, while the real question becomes: do you have the mindset of "I deserve to be wealthy" and if you do then what are you going to do to make sure you are able to build wealth, because without financial resources how many people can you actually help, and the only way to help Ghana is to educate Ghanaians all over the world so they are able to build wealth by tapping into the financial systems that the rich and wealthy are tapping into which we are not exposed to. In this raw episode of Konnected Minds, host Derrick Abaitey sits down with Dr. Hans - the investing tutor - who dismantles the dangerous "I don't deserve wealth" mentality keeping Ghanaians locked out of the financial systems the rich use to build generational fortunes, revealing the exact moment when his father sat him down and said "boy, if I had known that land would be so valuable right now, boy I would have bought so many plots of land" because at that time land was about $100 for one plot in many places in Accra and today the average plot is about $250,000 USD, when that statement became the driving force behind the mission: I never ever want to say to my son or daughter if I had bought this asset or that asset I would have been very very wealthy, when his dad grew up in a village and was one of the top two students so he got a scholarship to study in Germany, when the host family that took him in had a gentleman named Hans so he named his son after that gentleman, when his mom revealed that even though his dad was entrepreneurial he was afraid to take that leap - afraid of the "what if" that stops so many people from investing, when the parable of the talents made it clear that the Master gave five talents to one servant, three to another, and one to the last - and the one who had five immediately went off and invested it and earned five more, when the servant who had one went and hid the talent because "I was afraid" and didn't want to lose it, when the Master said "if you didn't know why didn't you take my money to someone more qualified, why didn't you take it to the bankers to invest the money so that at least I could have earned something on top of it," when the realization hit that most individuals don't even have the mindset of "I deserve to be wealthy" and if you don't believe that are you doing good for this world by having that mentality, when the question became: how many people can you help without financial resources, when the mission crystallized as "this is how I'm going to help Ghana . This isn't motivational wealth-building talk from Instagram financial gurus - it's a systematic breakdown of why most Ghanaians don't believe they deserve to be wealthy and that mentality stops them from helping anyone because you can't help Ghana without financial resources, why the parable of the talents exposes that fear causes people to hide their money instead of investing it and the Master's response was clear: if you didn't know why didn't you seek guidance from someone qualified, why land in Accra went from $100 per plot to $250,000 USD proving early adopters of scarce assets win generational wealth, why land appreciates because countries print more money creating more cash chasing fixed supply like East Legon where you can't increase the size, why your money in a bank account loses purchasing power every single year as prices increase for gas, food, movies, and everything else, why the wealth plan is simple: grandfathers say gold, parents say land, American titans say stocks - all scarce assets that grow over time, why owning stock means getting a percentage stake in a company so your money grows as that company serves more customers without you doing anything, and why the mission is to educate Ghanaians all over the world to tap into the financial systems the rich use - because believing you deserve wealth and taking action to build it is the only way to help your community, your family, and your country.

Ricarda Wistuba ist Biologin und Tierpräparatorin am Zoologischen Forschungsmuseum Koenig in Bonn – und sie ist jemand, der sich nicht mit Theorie zufriedengibt. Ihre Forschung führt sie mitunter dorthin, wo die Natur noch weitgehend unerschlossen ist: in die Tiefen des Regenwalds, auf Baumwipfel-Plattformen, durch Sümpfe, Savannen und von Krisen gebeutelte Regionen. Immer auf der Suche nach neuen Erkenntnissen – und manchmal auch nach einem Ausweg.In dieser Folge berichtet sie von ihrem Einsatz in Sierra Leone, wo während einer Feldstudie zur Biodiversität plötzlich alles aus dem Ruder lief: Macheten, Misstrauen, kein Strom, kein Pass. Chaos. Und dann kommt auch noch Ebola. Und Ricarda ist mittendrin.Außerdem sprechen wir über:ihre Arbeit im Regenwalddach von Ghana, wo sie in einem außergewöhnlichen Forschungsprojekt auf Plattformen in den Baumkronen arbeitete,sowie über ihre Zeit im Pantanal, dem größten Binnenland-Feuchtgebiet der Erde in Brasilien, wo sie im Forschungsgebiet von Lydia Möcklinghoff unterwegs war – zwischen Tapiren, Capybaras, Jaguaren und natürlich Ameisenbären!Ein Gespräch über die Wirklichkeit wissenschaftlicher Feldforschung – voller Improvisation, Überraschungen und intensiver Naturerfahrungen.Link zu Ricardas Verein: https://sewingselfesteem.com/----------------------------------Redaktion & Postproduktion: Erik Lorenz----------------------------------Dieser Podcast wird auch durch unsere Hörerschaft ermöglicht.

This is a DEEP conversation where we discuss things like the importance of understanding one's neurodivergence, what it's like for neurodivergent people in corporate spaces and how he's doing work to help Fortune 100 companies and others create spaces where all minds can thrive. Michael has seen the qualitative and quantitative impacts of his work, repeatedly demonstrating that this work isn't just about feeling good, it can save and earn companies significant amounts of money and other resources. Michael is making an impact not only in the US but also in his home country of Ghana where many of the schools are also suffering from colonized curriculum. This is a conversation about self-discovery and acceptance as well as how companies can avoid unwittingly creating barriers to the very culture and goals they say they desire.Key PointsWe should be questioning our perceptions of intelligence, i.e. favoring memorization over demonstrated understanding.Diagnosis and self-identification of neurodivergence can be life changingNeurodivergent individuals often face unique challenges in corporate settings.Inclusive education can help change narratives around learning. Neurodivergent individuals can be highly intelligent but may struggle with traditional learning methods.Even parents can be unaware that their children may be neurodivergent.There's substantial data that demonstrates that supporting neurodivergent people has material financial benefits for companiesCoaching can help neurodivergent individuals navigate workplace challenges effectively.Neurodivergent individuals often contribute significantly to innovation and creativity.Intersectionality plays a crucial role in understanding neurodivergent experiences.Complex trauma can significantly impact neurodivergent individuals' behaviors.Helpful Links:Connect with Michael Asaku-Yeboah: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maykoi/Eisenhower Matrix: https://asana.com/resources/eisenhower-matrixNeuroNest (Under Construction as of Feb 2026): https://neurovocafrica.com/neuro/Keywordsneurodiversity, inclusion, disability management, coaching, education, corporate culture, Ghana, mental health, intersectionality, workplace inclusion, perfectionism, empathy Hosted on Acast.

From fear and skepticism to Ghana leading Africa in crypto regulation - and the brutal truth about why Bitcoin isn't a get-rich-quick scheme, the 21 million unit cap that makes it behave like digital property and land where scarcity drives value as more people want in, the Ghana virtual assets bill that puts the country ahead of the United States in crypto legislation, and why disposable income isn't about having money you don't need - it's about either earning too little or spending too much, while the real question becomes: are you utilizing your talents or are you timid and afraid, because if you can set aside just 10% of your income and commit 80-90% of that into the stock market and 10-20% into Bitcoin, or simply split it 50-50 if there's no stock market access, you position yourself for long-term wealth that compounds over time instead of chasing quick cash that disappears as fast as it came, and the mobile money lesson proves everything - when it launched in Ghana in 2009 the banks called it an amusing experiment that wouldn't amount to much, only 300,000 people used it for the first three years, but once Bank of Ghana allowed vendor access in 2014 with friendly regulation it exploded to over 60% citizen adoption, and the same trajectory is coming for digital assets as telcos and banks realize over the next one to three years that if they don't offer crypto products they will be disrupted and left behind. In this raw episode of Konnected Minds, host Derrick Abaitey sits down with Dr. Hans who dismantles the dangerous "crypto is gambling" narrative keeping Ghanaians locked out of the digital wealth revolution, revealing the exact moment when understanding that Bitcoin was created solely to be digital property like gold and land - not to do fancy things but simply exist as 21 million units where supply and demand determine value with no central control, when Ghana passed the virtual assets service providers bill and became one of the first countries in the world to have crypto legislation even before the United States finalized theirs, when the realization hit that this bill means more demand for the asset because regulatory clarity brings institutional and retail confidence, when the question "if I invest in BTC today how long should I give myself" exposed that most people think investment means quick cash but the real answer is for people thinking long-term because nothing good in life is rushed, when the three types of people in the game became clear: those looking for quick turnaround, those in for the long term, and those who don't understand that everything worthwhile takes time to grow just like planting a seed or going through school from class one to university, when Jay Morrison's quote hit different: "I pity the person who gets a million dollars before they're a millionaire" because if you woke up tomorrow with a million dollars in your bank account what would you do with it, when the apartment conversation in Villagio six years ago revealed that if you opened your bedroom and saw loads of cash two things would happen - you either go mad or you finish that money in two weeks - because there's a preparation stage that prepares you to handle wealth and that's why slow growth is important because you build resilience, when the foundation of a house analogy made it clear that foundations are never built in a day or even a week because it takes time to allow the building to sit beautifully, when the disposable income question forced people to ask themselves: do I have money I don't need, and if not does that mean I'm not earning enough or I'm spending too much. Over the next one to three years telcos will allow individuals to purchase crypto and digital assets just like mobile money, and banks globally - whether Chase, Bank of America, or Barclays - will realize that if they don't offer digital products they will be disrupted and left behind. This isn't motivational wealth-building talk from Instagram crypto gurus - it's a systematic breakdown of why Bitcoin is pure supply and demand with 21 million units and no central control, why Ghana passing a crypto bill before the US is phenomenal and signals more demand for the asset, why long-term investing beats quick cash schemes because slow steady growth builds the resilience and money management skills needed to handle wealth, why disposable income is about either earning more or spending less and every person needs to audit whether they're utilizing their talents or being timid and afraid. 300,000 users to 60% national adoption proves that friendly regulation unlocks mass participation, and why the next one to three years will see telcos and banks integrate digital assets or get disrupted - making now the time to get educated, get exposed, and get positioned before the masses flood in.

En 2006, quelque chose bascule dans l'histoire du football africain. Pour la première fois, des nations considérées comme secondaires sur l'échiquier continental renversent la hiérarchie et s'invitent à la Coupe du monde. Le Togo, le Ghana, l'Angola et la Tunisie écrivent une page inédite. Dans cet épisode de la saga En route vers la Coupe du Monde 2006, Les Libéros plongent dans un système de qualification impitoyable : cinq groupes, un seul qualifié par groupe, aucune seconde chance. En Afrique, la route vers la Coupe du monde est une épreuve d'endurance mentale, tactique et politique. De la montée en puissance du Ghana à la discipline angolaise, de l'expérience tunisienne à l'explosion togolaise portée par Emmanuel Adebayor, cet épisode décrypte les dynamiques collectives, les matchs décisifs, les basculements générationnels et les séismes symboliques provoqués par ces qualifications. Au-delà des résultats, c'est un changement d'équilibre continental qui s'opère. Le Cameroun, le Nigeria et le Sénégal restent à quai. Une nouvelle Afrique du football s'affirme. Les Libéros analysent également la CAN 2006 comme répétition stratégique avant l'Allemagne, détaillent les groupes du Mondial et interrogent une question centrale : laquelle de ces nations est réellement armée pour surprendre la planète football ? Un épisode charnière, à la croisée du sport, de la géopolitique et de l'évolution des modèles africains de performance. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Today we are joined by Claire Nicolas, a chercheuse du Fonds National Suisse at Basel University, a holder of a prestigious Ambizione Research Grant, and the author of Une si longue course: Sport, genre, et citoyenneté au Ghana et en Côte d'Ivoire (années 1900-1970) (Presses Universitaires de Rennes, 2024). In our conversation, we discussed physical culture in colonial and post-colonial Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana, the differences and the similarities between the imperial and post-imperial biopolitical strategies in both places, and the way that sports histories benefit from sustained engagement with critical theory. In Une si longue course, Nicolas engages in a sustained comparison between the colonial and post-colonial physical cultural life of Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana. She organizes her work into two sections: one on colonial West Africa and another on post-colonial West Africa. Each section has three chapters covering physical education, scouting and sports. Her work addresses athletic life from the top down and the bottom up. In doing so, she shows that contrary to any simple history of teleological progress or sport as a crucible for nationalism, physical education, scouting and sport have been imperfect tools for imperial and post-imperial states. Athletes, scouts, and students found innovative ways to reshape the physical cultural priorities of the state to suit their own agendas. This deeply ambitious work significantly adds to our understanding of physical culture in colonial and post-colonial West Africa through a comparative approach. It draws upon extensive primary source research: Nicolas works in the archives of the British and French colonial states, the ministries of post-colonial Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana, and the repositories of international sporting organizations in Switzerland. She also relies upon oral histories conducted with Ghanaian and Ivoirian sportsmen and women. Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Great Britain, and France: their physical cultural programmes shared continuities and ruptures. Colonial empires concerned with the mise en valeur of their subjects sought biopolitical solutions to increase the birthrate, expand agricultural and industrial production, and prepare men for the defence of the empire. They worried that physical cultural programs – if poorly managed – would become sites for resistance, but Nicolas' work shows that sporting clubs, scouting halls, and schools could confound any simple collaboration/resistance dichotomy. Nicolas' work also demonstrates the deeply gendered nature of both colonial and post-colonial physical culture. Newly emergent post-colonial nations sought to produce new men (and women) in ways that replicated the essentialism of their imperial predecessors. Nicolas' engaging work, thoroughly researched, and beautifully presented will be of broad interest to people invested in British, French, and West African history. It has broader conclusions for people interested in colonial and post-colonial theory. Learn more about your ad choices.

Those who hope to honor God and advance Jesus' Kingdom face powerful opposition from spiritual, physical, and psychological enemies. Successful launching and long term fruitfulness depends on recognizing and, in dependence on the Holy Spirit, waging war against those enemies.

Today we are joined by Claire Nicolas, a chercheuse du Fonds National Suisse at Basel University, a holder of a prestigious Ambizione Research Grant, and the author of Une si longue course: Sport, genre, et citoyenneté au Ghana et en Côte d'Ivoire (années 1900-1970) (Presses Universitaires de Rennes, 2024). In our conversation, we discussed physical culture in colonial and post-colonial Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana, the differences and the similarities between the imperial and post-imperial biopolitical strategies in both places, and the way that sports histories benefit from sustained engagement with critical theory. In Une si longue course, Nicolas engages in a sustained comparison between the colonial and post-colonial physical cultural life of Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana. She organizes her work into two sections: one on colonial West Africa and another on post-colonial West Africa. Each section has three chapters covering physical education, scouting and sports. Her work addresses athletic life from the top down and the bottom up. In doing so, she shows that contrary to any simple history of teleological progress or sport as a crucible for nationalism, physical education, scouting and sport have been imperfect tools for imperial and post-imperial states. Athletes, scouts, and students found innovative ways to reshape the physical cultural priorities of the state to suit their own agendas. This deeply ambitious work significantly adds to our understanding of physical culture in colonial and post-colonial West Africa through a comparative approach. It draws upon extensive primary source research: Nicolas works in the archives of the British and French colonial states, the ministries of post-colonial Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana, and the repositories of international sporting organizations in Switzerland. She also relies upon oral histories conducted with Ghanaian and Ivoirian sportsmen and women. Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Great Britain, and France: their physical cultural programmes shared continuities and ruptures. Colonial empires concerned with the mise en valeur of their subjects sought biopolitical solutions to increase the birthrate, expand agricultural and industrial production, and prepare men for the defence of the empire. They worried that physical cultural programs – if poorly managed – would become sites for resistance, but Nicolas' work shows that sporting clubs, scouting halls, and schools could confound any simple collaboration/resistance dichotomy. Nicolas' work also demonstrates the deeply gendered nature of both colonial and post-colonial physical culture. Newly emergent post-colonial nations sought to produce new men (and women) in ways that replicated the essentialism of their imperial predecessors. Nicolas' engaging work, thoroughly researched, and beautifully presented will be of broad interest to people invested in British, French, and West African history. It has broader conclusions for people interested in colonial and post-colonial theory. Learn more about your ad choices.

CrowdScience listener Griffith in Ghana, isn't JUST a CrowdScience listener. He's also a listener to our sister show on the World Service, Unexpected Elements. But he's noticed something funny. In the weekly Unexpected Elements multiple-choice quiz, the answer is almost NEVER ‘a'. It's nearly always ‘b', or ‘c'. Why is this? When we set the quiz, why are we so reluctant to choose option ‘a'? His question leads presenter Alex Lathbridge on a journey into the murky depths of our brain, where he discovers the cognitive biases which so often trip us up in games of chance, or probability. Your brain might be a marvellous machine when it comes to figuring out how to understand the world, but sometimes, in the name of efficiency, it takes clever little short-cuts to the answer. This pragmatic approach to problem solving helps us manage an incredibly complicated world. But occasionally, especially when it comes to mathematics, chance, and probability, it leads us in the wrong direction. With the help of mathematician Kit Yates from the University of Bath in the UK, and some rather stale sweets, Alex will be finding out how to win at games of chance. Alex also explores the world of gaming, and gambling. Games of chance in which our intuition sometimes lets us down, and makes us choose unwisely. Rachel Croson, Professor of Economics at the University of Minnesota, USA, talks us through how the human brain can work against us. But can knowledge of those human pitfalls help us to win? Alex hears from Maria Konnikova, who turned her research on the psychology of poker into a successful gambling career. Can we really use maths to beat our brains, and learn how to win more often?
