WhoMike Giorgio, Vice President and General Manager of Stowe Mountain, VermontRecorded onOctober 8, 2025About StoweClick here for a mountain stats overviewOwned by: Vail Resorts, which also owns:Located in: Stowe, VermontYear founded: 1934Pass affiliations:* Epic Pass: unlimited access* Epic Local Pass: unlimited access with holiday blackouts* Epic Northeast Value Pass: 10 days with holiday blackouts* Epic Northeast Midweek Pass: 5 midweek days with holiday blackouts* Access on Epic Day Pass All and 32 Resort tiers* Ski Vermont 4 Pass – up to one day, with blackouts* Ski Vermont Fifth Grade Passport – 3 days, with blackoutsClosest neighboring U.S. ski areas: Smugglers' Notch (ski-to or 40-ish-minute drive in winter, when route 108 is closed over the notch), Bolton Valley (:45), Cochran's (:50), Mad River Glen (:55), Sugarbush (:56)Base elevation: 1,265 feet (at Toll House double)Summit elevation: 3,625 feet (top of the gondola), 4,395 feet at top of Mt. MansfieldVertical drop: 2,360 feet lift-served, 3,130 feet hike-toSkiable acres: 485Average annual snowfall: 314 inchesTrail count: 116 (16% beginner, 55% intermediate, 29% advanced)Lift count: 12 (1 eight-passenger gondola, 1 six-passenger gondola, 1 six-pack, 3 high-speed quads, 1 fixed-grip quad, 1 triple, 2 doubles, 2 carpets)Why I interviewed himThere is no Aspen of the East, but if I had to choose an Aspen of the East, it would be Stowe. And not just because Aspen Mountain and Stowe offer a similar fierce-down, with top-to-bottom fall-line zippers and bumpy-bumps spliced by massive glade pockets. Not just because each ski area rises near the far end of densely bunched resorts that the skier must drive past to reach them. Not just because the towns are similarly insular and expensive and tucked away. Not just because the wintertime highway ends at both places, an anachronistic act of surrender to nature from a mechanized world accustomed to fencing out the seasons. And not just because each is a cultural stand-in for mechanized skiing in a brand-obsessed, half-snowy nation that hates snow and is mostly filled with non-skiers who know nothing about the activity other than the fact that it exists. Everyone knows about Aspen and Stowe even if they'll never ski, in the same way that everyone knows about LeBron James even if they've never watched basketball.All of that would be sufficient to make the Stowe-is-Aspen-East argument. But the core identity parallel is one that threads all these tensions while defying their assumed outcome. Consider the remoteness of 1934 Stowe and 1947 Aspen, two mountains in the pre-snowmaking, pre-interstate era, where cutting a ski area only made sense because that's where it snowed the most. Both grew in similar fashion. First slowly toward the summit with surface lifts and mile-long single chairs crawling up the incline. Then double chairs and gondolas and snowguns and detachable chairlifts. A ski area for the town evolves into a ski area for the world. Hotels a la luxe at the base, traffic backed up to the interstate, corporate owners and $261 lift tickets.That sounds like a formula for a ruined world. But Stowe the ski area, like Aspen Mountain the ski area, has never lost its wild soul. Even buffed out and six-pack equipped and Epic Pass-enabled, Stowe remains a hell of a mountain, one of the best in New England, one of my favorite anywhere. With its monster snowfalls, its endless and perfectly spaced glades, its never-groomed expert zones, its sprawling footprint tucked beneath the Mansfield summit, its direct access to rugged and forbidding backcountry, Stowe, perhaps the most western-like mountain in the East, remains a skier's mountain, a fierce and humbling proving ground, an any-skier's destination not because of its trimmings, but because of the Christmas tree itself.Still, Stowe will never be Aspen, because Stowe does not sit at 8,000 feet and Stowe does not have three accessory ski areas and Stowe the Town does not grid from the lift base like Aspen the Town but rather lies eight miles down the road. Also Stowe is owned by Vail Resorts, and can you just imagine? But in a cultural moment that assumes ski area ruination-by-the-consolidation-modernization-mega-passification axis-of-mainstreaming, Aspen and Stowe tell mirrored versions of a more nuanced story. Two ski areas, skinned in the digital-mechanical infrastructure that modernity demands, able to at once accommodate the modern skier and the ancient mountain, with all of its quirks and character. All of its amazing skiing.What we talked aboutStowe the Legend; Vail Resorts' leadership carousel; ascending to ski area leadership without on-mountain experience; Mount Brighton, Michigan and Midwest skiing; struggles at Paoli Peaks, Indiana; how the Sunrise six-pack upgrade of the old Mountain triple changed the mountain; whether the Four Runner quad could ever become a six-pack; considering the future of the Lookout Double and Mansfield Gondola; who owns the land in and around the ski area; whether Stowe has terrain expansion potential; the proposed Smugglers' Notch gondola connection and whether Vail would ever buy Smuggs; “you just don't understand how much is here until you're here”; why Stowe only claims 485 acres of skiable terrain; protecting the Front Four; extending Stowe's season last spring; snowmaking in a snowbelt; the impact and future of paid parking; on-mountain bed-base potential; Epic Friend 50 percent off lift tickets; and Stowe locals and the Epic Pass.What I got wrongOn detailsI noted that one of my favorite runs was not a marked run at all: the terrain beneath the Lookout double chair. In fact, most of the trail beneath this mile-plus-long lift is a market run called, uh, “Lookout.” So I stand corrected. However, the trailmap makes this full-throttle, narrow bumper – which feels like skiing on a rising tide – look wide, peaceful, and groomable. It is none of those things, at least for its first third or so.On skiable acres* I said that Killington claimed “like 1,600 acres” of terrain – the exact claimed number is 1,509 acres.* I said that Mad River Glen claimed far fewer skiable acres than it probably could, but I was thinking of an out-of-date stat. The mountain claims just 115 acres of trails – basically nothing for a 2,000-vertical-foot mountain, but also “800 acres of tree-skiing access.” The number listed on the Pass Smasher Deluxe is 915 acres.On season closingsI intimated that Stowe had always closed the third weekend in April. That appears to be mostly true for the past two-ish decades, which is as far back as New England Ski History has records. The mountain did push late once, however, in 2007, and closed early during the horrible no-snow winter of 2011-12 (April 1), and the Covid-is-here-to-kill-us-all shutdown of 2020 (March 14).On doing better prepI asked whether Stowe had considered making its commuter bus free, but it, um, already is. That's called Reeserch, Folks.On lift ticket ratesI claimed that Stowe's top lift ticket price would drop from $239 last year to $235 this coming season, but that's inaccurate. Upon further review, the peak walk-up rate appears to be increasing to $261 this coming winter:Which means Vail's record of cranking Stowe lift ticket rates up remains consistent:On opening hoursI said that the lifts at Stowe sometimes opened at “7:00 or 7:30,” but the earliest ski lift currently opens at 8:00 most mornings (the Over Easy transit gondola opens at 7:30). The Fourrunner quad used to open at 7:30 a.m. on weekends and holidays. I'm not sure when mountain ops changed that. Here's the lift schedule clipped from the circa 2018 trailmap:On Mount Brighton, Michigan's supposed trashheap legacyI'd read somewhere, sometime, that Mount Brighton had been built on dirt moved to make way for Interstate 96, which bores across the state about a half mile north of the ski area. The timelines match, as this section of I-96 was built between 1956 and '57, just before Brighton opened in 1960. This circa 1962 article from The Livingston Post, a local paper, fails to mention the source of the dirt, leaving me uncertain as to whether or not the hill is related to the highway:Why you should ski StoweFrom my April 10 visit last winter, just cruising mellow, low-angle glades nearly to the base:I mean, the place is just:I love it, Man. My top five New England mountains, in no particular order, are Sugarbush, Stowe, Jay, Smuggs, and Sugarloaf. What's best on any given day depends on conditions and crowding, but if you only plan to ski the East once, that's your list.Podcast NotesOn Stowe being the last 1,000-plus-vertical-foot Vermont ski area that I featured on the podYou can view the full podcast catalogue here.

These Stowe trails are steep, narrow, double-plus-fall-line bangers that, along with Castlerock at Sugarbush and Paradise at Mad River Glen, are among the most challenging runs in New England.The problem is determining which of the double-blacks spiderwebbing off the top of Fourrunner are part of the Front Four. Officially, the designation has always bucketed National, Liftline, Goat, and Starr together, but Bypass, Haychute, and Lookout could sub in most days. Credit to Stowe for keeping these wild trails intact for going on a century, but what I said about them “not being for the masses” on the podcast wasn't quite accurate, as the lower portions of many - especially Liftline - are wide, often groomed, and not particularly treacherous. The best end-to-end trail is Goat, which is insanely steep and narrow up top. Here's part of Goat's middle-to-lower section, which is mellower but a good portrayal of New England bumpy, exposed-dirt-and-rocks gnar, especially at the :19 mark:The most glorious ego boost (or ego check) is the few hundred vertical feet of Liftline directly below Fourrunner. Sound on for scrapey-scrape:When the cut trails get icy, you can duck into the adjacent glades, most of which are unmarked but skiable. Here, I bailed into the trees skier's left of Starr to escape the ice rink:On Vail Resorts' leadership shufflesTwelve of Vail's 37 North American ski areas began the 2024-25 ski season with a different leader than they ended the 2023-24 ski season with. This included five of the company's New England resorts, including Stowe. Giorgio, in fact, became the ski area's third general manager in three winters, and the fourth since Vail acquired the ski area in 2017. I asked Giorgio about this, as a follow up to a similar set of questions I'd laid out for Vail Resorts CEO Rob Katz in August:I may be overthinking this, but check this out: between 2017 and 2024, Vail Resorts changed leadership at its North American ski areas more than 70 times - the yellow boxes below mark a new president-general-manager equivalent (red boxes indicate that Vail did not yet own the ski area):To reset my thinking here: I can't say that this constant leadership shuffle is inherently dysfunctional, and most Vail Resorts employees I speak with appreciate the company's upward-mobility culture. And I consistently find Vail's mountain leaders - dozens of whom I have hosted on this podcast - to be smart, earnest, and caring. However, it's hard to imagine that the constant turnover in top management isn't at least somewhat related to Vail Resorts' on-the-ground reputational issues, truncated seasons at non-core ski areas (see Paoli Peaks section below), and general sense that the company's arc of investment bends toward its destination resorts.On Peak ResortsVail purchased all of Peak Resorts, including Mount Snow, where Giorgio worked, in 2019. Here's that company's growth timeline:On Vernon Valley-Great GorgeThe ski area now known as Mountain Creek was Vernon Valley-Great Gorge until 1997. Anyone who grew up in the area still calls the joint by its legacy name.On Paoli Peaks versus Perfect NorthMy hope is that if I complain enough about Paoli Peaks, Vail will either invest enough in snowmaking to tranform it into a functional ski area or sell it. Here are the differences between Paoli's season lengths since 2013 as compared to Perfect North, its competitor that is the only other active ski area in the state:What explains this longstanding disparity, which certainly predates Vail's 2019 acquisition of the ski area? Paoli does sit southwest of Perfect North, but its base is 200 feet higher (600 feet, versus 400 for Perfect), so elevation doesn't explain it. Perfect does benefit from a valley location, which, longtime GM Jonathan Davis told me a few years back, locks in the cold air and supercharges snowmaking. The simplest answer, however, is probably the correct one: Perfect North has built one of the most impressive snowmaking systems on the planet, and they use it aggressively, cranking more than 200 guns at once. At peak operations, Perfect can transform from green grass to skiable terrain in just a couple of days.So yes, Perfect has always been a better operation than Paoli. But check this out: Paoli's performance as compared to Perfect's has been considerably worse in the five full seasons of Vail Resorts' ownership (excluding 2019-20), than in the six seasons before, with Perfect besting Paoli to open by an average of 21 days before Vail arrived, and by 31 days after. Perfect's seasons lasted an average of 25 days longer than Paoli's before Vail arrived, and 38 days longer after:Yes, Paoli is a uniquely challenged ski area, but I'm confident that someone can do a better job running this place than Vail has been doing since 2019. Certainly, that someone could be Vail, which has the resources and institutional knowledge to transform this, or any ski area, into a center of SnoSportSkiing excellence. So far, however, they have declined to do so, and I keep thinking of what Davis, Perfect North's longtime GM, said on the pod in 2022: “If Vail doesn't want [its ski areas in Indiana and Ohio], we'll take them!”On the 2022 Sunrise Six replacement for the tripleIn 2022, Stowe replaced the Mountain triple chair, which sat up a flight of steep steps from the parking lot, with the at-grade Sunrise six-pack. It was the kind of big-time lift upgrade that transforms the experience of an entire ski area for everyone, whether they use the new lift or not, by pulling skiers toward a huge pod of underutilized terrain and away from longtime alpha lifts Fourrunner and the Mansfield Gondola.On Fourrunner as a vert machineStowe's Fourruner high-speed quad is one of the most incredible lifts in American skiing, a lightspeed-fast base-to-summit, 2,040-vertical-foot monster with direct access to some of the best terrain west of A-Basin.The highest vert total in my 54-day 2024-25 ski season came (largely) courtesy of this lift - and I only skied five-and-a-half hours:On Stowe-Smuggs proximity and the proposed gondola and a long drive in winterAdventurous skiers can skin or hike across the top of Stowe's Spruce Peak and ski down into the Smugglers' Notch ski area. An official ski trail once connected them, and Smuggs proposed a gondola connector a couple of years back. If Vail were to purchase sprawling Smuggs, a Canyons-Park City mega-connection – while improbable given local environmental lobbies -could instantly transform Stowe into one of the largest ski areas in the East.On Jay Peak's big snowmaking upgradesI referenced big offseason snowmaking upgrades for water-challenged (but natural-snow blessed), Jay Peak. I was referring to this:This season brings an over $1.5M snowmaking upgrade that's less about muscle and more about brains. We've added 49 brand new HKD Low E air-water snowmaking guns—32 on Queen's Highway and 17 on Perry Merrill. These aren't your drag-'em-out, hook-'em-up, hope-it's-cold-enough kind of guns. They're fixed in place for the season and far more efficient, using much less compressed air than the ones they replace. Translation: better snow, less energy.On Perry Merrill, things get even slicker. We've installed HKD Klik automated hydrants that come with built-in weather stations. The second temps hit 28 degrees wetbulb, these hydrants kick on automatically and adjust the flow as the mercury drops. No waiting, no guesswork, no scrambling the crew. The end result? Those key connecting trails between Tramside and Stateside get covered faster, which means you can ski from one side to the other—or straight back to your condo—without having to hop on a shuttle with your boots still buckled. …It's all part of a bigger 10-year snowmaking plan we're rolling out—more automation, better efficiency, and ultimately, better snow for you to ski and ride on.The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

Esiste una memoria ancestrale? E da dove viene il moderno gatto domestico? In questo episodio, Francesca e Luca provano a rispondere a queste domande, svelandoci i misteri della memoria e il percorso evolutivo che ha portato il gatto ad essere un fedelissimo amico dell'uomo.Nella prima parte della puntata, Francesca ci racconta come funziona la memoria e come si costruiscono i ricordi. Insieme a Luca, cercherà di capire se esistono in noi delle memorie innate oppure se tutti i ricordi e le conoscenze sono frutto della nostra esperienza personale.In esterna, la linea passa a Giorgio che intervista Daniele Alloni, docente di Fisica dei Reattori Nucleari presso il Dipartimento di Fisica di Pavia e vicedirettore del centro LENA (Laboratorio Energia Nucleare Applicata). Daniele ci parlerà del laboratorio LENA di Pavia e dei 60 anni del reattore nucleare TRIGA.Dopo il consueto appuntamento con la barza brutta, Luca passa a raccontarci gli ultimi risultati di un articolo uscito su Science il 25 novembre, che racconta l'origine del gatto moderno. A differenza di quello che credevamo fino a qualche tempo fa, sembra che il gatto selvatico sia arrivato nelle nostre case dopo un processo di addomesticazione cominciato dai Romani appena 2000 anni fa.Se ti piace Scientificast, diventa un supporter e accedi anche a tutti i contenuti speciali che la Redazione prepara per i suoi ascoltatori più affezionati.https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/scientificast-la-scienza-come-non-l-hai-mai-sentita--1762253/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss

Transcript:It: La neve cadeva leggera su Piazza Navona, decorata con mille luci scintillanti.En: The snow was falling lightly on Piazza Navona, decorated with a thousand sparkling lights.It: Il profumo delle caldarroste invadeva l'aria.En: The smell of roasted chestnuts filled the air.It: I turisti passeggiavano tra le bancarelle del mercatino di Natale, sorridendo e scattando foto.En: Tourists strolled among the Christmas market stalls, smiling and taking photos.It: Luca era lì, come ogni giorno, con la sua fisarmonica.En: Luca was there, as he was every day, with his accordion.It: Suonava una melodia allegra, sperando di attirare l'attenzione di Antonella.En: He played a cheerful tune, hoping to catch the attention of Antonella.It: Lei, artista del luogo, spesso passeggiava nella piazza, cercando ispirazione per i suoi quadri.En: She, a local artist, often walked in the square looking for inspiration for her paintings.It: Ogni tanto, Luca la vedeva fermarsi per disegnare, il suo viso illuminato dalla passione per l'arte.En: Every now and then, Luca would see her stop to draw, her face illuminated by a passion for art.It: Quel giorno, Antonella era appena arrivata nella piazza.En: That day, Antonella had just arrived in the square.It: Avvolta in un cappotto rosso, si avvicinava curiosa alle bancarelle.En: Wrapped in a red coat, she curiously approached the stalls.It: Ma all'improvviso, si fermò, portandosi una mano al viso.En: But suddenly, she stopped, bringing a hand to her face.It: Gli occhi si gonfiarono e il naso cominciò a colare.En: Her eyes welled up and her nose began to run.It: Un'allergia, pensò Luca, osservandola preoccupato.En: An allergy, Luca thought, watching her with concern.It: Mentre l'agitazione cresceva, Giorgio, il venditore di caldarroste, notò la scena.En: As the commotion grew, Giorgio, the roasted chestnut vendor, noticed the scene.It: Il suo sguardo passava da Luca ad Antonella con gelosia.En: His gaze shifted from Luca to Antonella with jealousy.It: Luca, vedendo Antonella in difficoltà, decise di intervenire.En: Luca, seeing Antonella in trouble, decided to intervene.It: Lasciò il suo posto e la fisarmonica, pur sapendo di perdere alcuni guadagni preziosi quel giorno.En: He left his spot and the accordion, knowing he would lose some precious earnings that day.It: La piazza era affollata, e lui doveva farsi strada tra la folla.En: The square was crowded, and he had to make his way through the crowd.It: Giorgio, con un sorriso malizioso, aveva sistemato il suo carretto proprio nel mezzo del percorso.En: Giorgio, with a mischievous smile, had parked his cart right in the middle of the path.It: Luca cercò di farsi spazio, ma Giorgio non accennava a spostarsi.En: Luca tried to make his way through, but Giorgio made no move to budge.It: "Scusa, devo passare," disse Luca, cercando di sembrare calmo.En: "Excuse me, I need to pass," said Luca, trying to sound calm.It: Ma Giorgio fece finta di non sentire, indaffarato con i suoi clienti.En: But Giorgio pretended not to hear, busy with his customers.It: Determinado, Luca decise di passare lateralmente, rischiando di rovesciare alcune castagne.En: Determined, Luca decided to pass sideways, risking overturning some chestnuts.It: Riuscì finalmente a raggiungere Antonella, che ora respirava a fatica.En: He finally managed to reach Antonella, who was now struggling to breathe.It: "Ti porto alla farmacia," disse piano, cercando di tranquillizzarla.En: "I'll take you to the pharmacy," he said gently, trying to reassure her.It: Antonella annuì, ansimando.En: Antonella nodded, gasping.It: Con uno sforzo, la guidò al piccolo negozio in un vicolo adiacente.En: With effort, he guided her to the small shop in an adjacent alley.It: Lì, il farmacista prontamente le consegnò un antistaminico.En: There, the pharmacist promptly gave her an antihistamine.It: Dopo pochi minuti, Antonella sembrava sentirsi meglio.En: After a few minutes, Antonella seemed to feel better.It: Con gratitudine negli occhi, si volse verso Luca.En: With gratitude in her eyes, she turned to Luca.It: "Grazie, Luca," disse con una voce ancora un

Abbiamo di nuovo l'onore di portare su questo canale la testimonianza di Giorgio Provinciali, che abbiamo raggiunto oggi a Zaporizhzhia dove sta svolgendo la sua preziosissima attività di reporter dal fronte ucraino per il quotidiano La Ragione (www.laragione.eu). Giorgio è uno dei pochissimi giornalisti italiani che si reca sul serio nelle zone di guerra rischiando la vita e conosce la situazione per esperienza diretta. I governi in Europa e negli Usa continuano a manifestare tutta la loro codardia mentre Putin intensifica la guerra in Ucraina. Che Trump sia un sodale di fatto del regime mafioso dovrebbe spingere gli europei a impegnarsi maggiormente. Mentre i vari Merz, Macron, Starmer, per non parlare di Meloni e Sanchez dimostrano di essere totalmente inadeguati a fronteggiare la gravità della situazione.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/inglorious-globastards-podcast--4600745/support.

Pier Giorgio Curti"Riflessi di solitudine"Un percorso tra psicoanalisi, pittura e filosofiaEdizioni ETSwww.edizioniets.comIn questo saggio, lo sguardo di uno psicoanalista che dialoga con la filosofia e l'arte si posa su un tema tanto universale quanto sfuggente: la solitudine. Non come esperienza da definire, ma come spazio da attraversare. Attraverso un percorso volutamente frammentario – simile a una visita in una mostra immaginaria – il lettore è invitato a camminare tra specchi, prismi e anamorfosi, figure simboliche che mettono in scena l'identità come movimento, disallineamento, possibilità.Il testo intreccia storia delle idee e storia delle immagini, proponendo una cartografia della soggettività moderna: instabile, riflessa, decentrata. In questo intreccio, l'arte non è solo oggetto estetico, ma superficie rivelatrice dell'animo umano, luogo di pensiero e affetto, esercizio dello sguardo obliquo. Più che spiegare, questo libro mostra: mostra come la solitudine apra squarci inattesi sull'identità, come il vuoto possa farsi soglia, e come il senso emerga, a volte, solo nel disorientamento.Pier Giorgio Curti è psicologo, psicoterapeuta, psicoanalista, saggista, direttore delle strutture O.A.M.I. di Livorno, supervisore individuale e istituzionale, direttore della collana editoriale “Oltre la disabilità” pubblicata da ETS. Da oltre trent'anni la sua ricerca opera nei margini tra psicoanalisi, filosofia e arte.

autumn.It: Foglie dorate e arancioni tappezzavano i sentieri, e l'aria era fresca, un dolce avviso che l'anno stava volgendo al termine.En: Golden and orange leaves carpeted the paths, and the air was crisp, a sweet reminder that the year was coming to an end.It: Era qui che Luca, Giorgio ed Elena avevano deciso di incontrarsi, lontano dai rumori della città.En: It was here that Luca, Giorgio, and Elena had decided to meet, away from the noises of the city.It: Luca era arrivato per primo.En: Luca was the first to arrive.It: Si fermò vicino a una grande quercia, inspirando profondamente.En: He

fermava mai.En: His mind was like a gear that never stopped.It: Cercava pace, un momento di respiro, e oggi sperava di trovarlo.En: He sought peace, a moment to breathe, and today he hoped to find it.It: Poco dopo arrivò Giorgio, un sorriso splendente sul volto.En: Shortly after, Giorgio arrived, a radiant smile on his face.It: "Luca!"En: "Luca!"It: esclamò, abbracciandolo con entusiasmo.En: he exclaimed, hugging him enthusiastically.It: "Ho tante storie da raccontare del mio ultimo viaggio!"En: "I have so many stories to tell about my latest trip!"It: Elena era ultima ad arrivare, con un

bisogno di ispirazione per il mio prossimo progetto."En: "I need inspiration for my next project."It: I tre amici si sedettero su una panchina di legno, circondati dal fruscio delle foglie.En: The

mozzafiato, di cene sotto le stelle e di persone straordinarie incontrate lungo il cammino.En: He spoke of breathtaking landscapes, dinners under the stars, and extraordinary people met along the way.It: Ma Luca non riusciva a smettere di pensare al suo lavoro.En: But Luca couldn't stop thinking about his work.It: Era come un rumore incessante nella sua testa.En: It was like a constant noise in his head.It: Elena, osservando Luca, si avvicinò e chiese con gentilezza: "Luca, cosa c'è che non va?"En: Elena, observing Luca, leaned in and asked gently, "Luca, what's wrong?"It: Esitante all'inizio, Luca decise di aprirsi.En: Hesitant at first, Luca decided to open up.It: Parlò delle pressioni al lavoro, di quanto si sentisse sopraffatto e di come desiderasse trovare un po' di serenità.En: He talked about the work pressures, how overwhelmed he felt, and how he longed to find some serenity.It: "È difficile concentrarsi su altro," confessò.En: "It's hard to focus on anything else," he confessed.It: Giorgio ascoltò attentamente e poi raccontò una storia di una collina lontana, dove aveva trovato un senso di pace assoluta.En: Giorgio listened attentively and then shared a story of a distant hill where he had found a sense of absolute peace.It: "A volte, Luca," disse, "bisogna allontanarsi per vedere le cose più chiaramente."En: "Sometimes, Luca," he said, "you need to step away to see things more clearly."It: Quelle parole colpirono Luca.En: Those words struck Luca.It: Era esattamente ciò di cui aveva bisogno: un nuovo punto di vista.En: It was exactly what he needed: a new perspective.It: Capì che forse doveva prendersi più tempo per sé stesso e allontanarsi dal caos.En: He realized that perhaps he needed to take more time for himself and step away from the chaos.It: Mentre il sole iniziava a calare, dipingendo il cielo di sfumature rosate, Luca si alzò, sentendo un peso sollevarsi dalle sue spalle.En: As the sun began to set, painting the sky with rosy hues, Luca stood up, feeling a weight lift from his shoulders.It: "Grazie, amici," disse con un sorriso sincero.En: "Thank you, friends," he said with a sincere smile.It: "Oggi mi avete davvero aiutato."En: "Today you really helped me."It: Lasciarono il Giardino Botanico, promettendosi di rivedersi presto.En: They left the Giardino Botanico, promising to see each other soon.It: Luca, con una nuova chiarezza, sentiva che piccoli cambiamenti lo avrebbero portato verso quella tanto agognata tranquillità.En: Luca, with newfound clarity, felt that small changes would lead him toward that longed-for tranquility.It: E capì anche quanto fosse importante condividere le proprie preoccupazioni.En: And he also understood how important it was to share his worries.It: Mentre si allontanava, il fruscio delle foglie sotto i suoi piedi era come musica.En: As he walked away, the rustling of the leaves under his feet was like music.It: Il giardino era stato un rifugio, e l'amicizia, una cura inaspettata.En: The garden had been a refuge, and friendship, an unexpected remedy.It: Luca ora sapeva che non era solo e che poteva affrontare il suo lavoro con un nuovo coraggio.En: Luca now knew he was not alone and could face his work with renewed courage.

Fluent Fiction - Italian: Lost Treasure of Forte dei Marmi: An Untold Adventure Begins Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/it/episode/2025-11-07-23-34-02-it Story Transcript:It: Il vento di novembre soffiava leggero sulla spiaggia di Forte dei Marmi.En: The November wind blew gently on the beach of Forte dei Marmi.It: Mentre le onde s'infrangevano dolcemente sulla riva, due amici camminavano lungo la spiaggia.En: As the waves softly crashed onto the shore, two friends walked along the beach.It: Giorgio, un giovane dai capelli arruffati e gli occhi curiosi, osservava ogni dettaglio del mare.En: Giorgio, a young man with tousled hair and curious eyes, observed every detail of the sea.It: Al suo fianco camminava Elena, con i capelli castani raccolti in una coda, scettica ma silenziosa.En: Walking beside him was Elena, with her brown hair tied up in a ponytail, skeptical but silent.It: Era il giorno di Ognissanti, e la città era calda nei colori dell'autunno e fredda nell'aria.En: It was All Saints' Day, and the city was warm with the colors of autumn and cold in the air.It: Giorgio parlava di leggende e tesori nascosti nel mare, e Elena rideva, nascondendo dietro quel sorriso la sua segreta voglia di avventura.En: Giorgio talked about legends and hidden treasures in the sea, and Elena laughed, hiding behind that smile her secret desire for adventure.It: All'improvviso, un'ombra in lontananza catturò l'attenzione di Giorgio.En: Suddenly, a shadow in the distance caught Giorgio's attention.It: "Guarda, Elena!"En: "Look, Elena!"It: esclamò, indicando la silhouette di una barca alla deriva sulla sabbia.En: he exclaimed, pointing to the silhouette of a boat adrift on the sand.It: Pareva abbandonata da chissà quanto tempo.En: It seemed abandoned for who knows how long.It: Era coperta di alghe e conchiglie, quasi un tutt'uno con la natura circostante.En: It was covered in seaweed and shells, almost one with the surrounding nature.It: "Non dovremmo avvicinarci," disse Elena con prudenza.En: "We shouldn't get closer," said Elena cautiously.It: "Potrebbe essere pericoloso.En: "It could be dangerous.It: E se ci sono problemi con la polizia?"En: And what if there are problems with the police?"It: Giorgio non sentiva ragioni: il desiderio di scoprire cosa si nascondeva dietro quel mistero era troppo forte.En: Giorgio wouldn't listen to reason: the desire to discover what was hidden behind that mystery was too strong.It: "Non posso restare fermo," rispose Giorgio determinato.En: "I can't stand still," Giorgio replied determinedly.It: "Devo sapere di più."En: "I have to know more."It: Con passo deciso si diresse verso la barca, lasciando Elena indecisa sulla riva.En: With a determined step, he headed toward the boat, leaving Elena indecisive on the shore.It: Dopo qualche istante di tensione e incertezza, la curiosità ebbe il sopravvento: Elena lo seguì.En: After a few moments of tension and uncertainty, curiosity got the better of her: Elena followed him.It: La barca era vecchia, ma solida.En: The boat was old but sturdy.It: Con grande cautela, Giorgio ed Elena salirono a bordo.En: With great caution, Giorgio and Elena climbed aboard.It: All'interno era quasi vuota, ma qualcosa attirò l'attenzione di Giorgio.En: Inside it was almost empty, but something caught Giorgio's attention.It: Ai suoi piedi, una tavola del pavimento sembrava diversa.En: At his feet, one floorboard seemed different.It: Con pazienza, sollevò il pannello e rivelò un compartimento nascosto.En: Patiently, he lifted the panel and revealed a hidden compartment.It: Elena trattenne il fiato mentre Giorgio estraeva un'antica mappa ingiallita.En: Elena held her breath as Giorgio extracted an old yellowed map.It: Era criptica, con linee marcate e simboli misteriosi, e suggeriva la posizione di un tesoro perduto del primo Novecento.En: It was cryptic, with marked lines and mysterious symbols, and suggested the location of a lost treasure from the early 1900s.It: "Non possiamo farlo sapere a nessuno," decise Giorgio, col cuore che batteva forte per l'emozione.En: "We can't let anyone know," Giorgio decided, his heart pounding with excitement.It: Elena annuì, il volto illuminato da una nuova scintilla di avventura.En: Elena nodded, her face lit up by a new spark of adventure.It: Alla fine, entrambi si allontanarono dalla spiaggia, promettendosi di seguire gli indizi insieme.En: In the end, they both left the beach, promising to follow the clues together.It: Giorgio aveva trovato non solo un mistero da risolvere, ma anche una nuova forza nella collaborazione.En: Giorgio had found not only a mystery to solve but also a new strength in collaboration.It: Elena scopri in sé una passione nascosta per l'exploring e la libertà.En: Elena discovered in herself a hidden passion for exploring and freedom.It: In una giornata d'autunno, sulla spiaggia di Forte dei Marmi, erano stati compiuti passi importanti in una nuova avventura: quella dell'amicizia e della scoperta.En: On an autumn day, on the beach of Forte dei Marmi, important steps were taken in a new adventure: that of

A TUTTA C con Luca Calamai. Ospite: Giorgio Gorgone, allenatore
This episode needs no introduction: Shooter Jennings joins Donnie and Dave to discuss his dad's cache of recordings, the process of bringing together three albums' worth of new Waylon Jennings music, and his feelings about the first installment, Songbird. Shooter talks at length about the discovery of Waylon's previously unreleased music, his relationship with his legendary dad and his own role as a father of two. This one was big for the Country Music Dads, as there couldn't be a more perfect topic for this podcast. Show Notes1:24 -- Shooter tells us about the discovery of these songs and how the Songbird project came together. 6:12 -- Dave says it was surreal to hear these songs in 2025. Shooter felt the same way. And then he knew he had to share this with others so they could have the same experience. 8:26 -- The Myth vs. The Man: Shooter explores what fans might be able to take from these projects. 10:42 -- Shooter's childhood on the road and why he's tired at shows regardless of how much sleep he gets. 12:20 -- Waylon the Artist vs. Waylon the Dad. Shooter kept true to the art but modernized it a bit — “letting the music on the tape talk.” That said, the experience of going through this chapter of his dad's life was very special to Shooter. 20:07 -- As a producer, the process of this project was a bit different for Shooter because Waylon is no longer with us; he is his father, and there was so much more material than usual. So he wanted to make it last to “make it like Waylon is here for a minute.” 23:00 -- Donnie asked about how relationships impact Shooter's production style. He specifically pointed to Turnpike Troubadour's last two albums and the fan backlash after Cat in the Rain. Shooter's direct and honest answer provides an interesting view into his producing style.28:58 -- The Dads ask Shooter how the production on the next albums fit together and how they tell a story. We also learn that there are several other projects to come from this collection of recordings, including songs by his mother, Jessi Colter. It's like a little Marvel Universe of Waylon Jennings, they joke.

Paul Giorgio gives the real estate construction report, noting flat growth in 3Q and no tariff impacts. Supply is expected to dip in the next two years, so he says now is the time to get construction contracts. He covers the skilled labor shortage vs “hypercompetitive” contractor pricing.

The hardest part of business development isn't effort, it's consistency. Most recruiters know what to do, but struggle to do it every day while juggling clients, candidates, and placements. You know you should be reaching out to prospects daily, but between managing active searches, candidate interviews, and client meetings, your pipeline suffers. The solution? Build automated systems that generate leads while you focus on conversations that close deals. Giorgio Zanella is a go-to-market engineer who's built hundreds of automation workflows for recruiters and founders. Working out of Clay's New York office, he's spent three years mastering the platform and helping recruitment professionals scale their outbound without losing the personal touch. In this behind-the-scenes episode of The Resilient Recruiter, we break down the exact infrastructure, tools, and strategies you need to automate your outbound without sacrificing personalization or sounding like spam. This isn't theory. Giorgio has analyzed thousands of campaigns and knows exactly what separates automation that works from automation that gets ignored. You'll learn why Clay.com has become the number one platform for scaling outreach, how to choose the right tools for email and LinkedIn automation, what infrastructure you actually need (domains, inboxes, and warming protocols), and how to achieve 3-5% response rates on cold email when most people can't break 1%. We cover the complete tech stack: Clay for workflow automation and data enrichment, Instantly for email sequencing, HeyReach for LinkedIn automation, and how these tools work together to create synchronized multichannel campaigns. You'll discover how Clay's "waterfall enrichment" replaces expensive tools like ZoomInfo (saving you $15K+ per year), why LinkedIn outreach gets higher response rates than email (and its hidden limitations), and how to build email infrastructure that protects your domain reputation while scaling to hundreds of sends per day. Giorgio shares the exact formula for safe, sustainable outreach: 3-4 alternate domains, 2 inboxes per domain, 12-15 emails per inbox per day, and the two-week warming process you can't skip. He explains why most recruiters wreck their deliverability by sending from their main domain, how to set up synchronized campaigns where email, LinkedIn, and phone calls happen in coordinated sequences, and why relevance (right person, right time, right message) beats volume every single time. You'll learn what "good" response rates actually look like (spoiler: they're lower than you think, but the ROI is massive), how to calculate return on investment for cold outreach campaigns, and why even a 1% response rate can generate huge returns when your infrastructure costs are minimal. Giorgio breaks down why personalization and timing are more important than blast volume, how to track real-time signals like job changes and promotions to time your outreach perfectly, and the practical first steps to start automating your business development this month. This episode is part of our new course, Automate Your Outreach: How to Generate Client Leads Daily on Autopilot, a four-week implementation program where Mark and Giorgio guide you step-by-step through building your own automation system. Whether you're a solo recruiter trying to scale or an agency owner looking to systematize business development across your team, this conversation gives you the blueprint.
