Podcasts about global citizens

In a world filled with distractions and societal pressures, finding and stepping into your true identity can feel like a monumental task. In this enlightening podcast episode, Michael Trainer shares profound insights on the importance of individuation, using personal anecdotes and timeless wisdom to guide listeners on their journey to self-discovery. **Understanding Individuation**  Michael Trainer opens the discussion by emphasizing the significance of drawing a line in the sand and embracing the identity that resonates with us. He recalls advice from his leadership coach, Peter Roche, who reminded him that we are the lead actors in our own movies. This metaphor encourages listeners to take control of their narratives, embodying the characters they aspire to be, such as the king, the warrior, or the lover. These archetypes have been part of human storytelling for centuries, and recognizing them can help us align with our deepest desires. **The Traditional Rite of Passage**  Trainer reflects on the historical processes of individuation, where young men and women were guided through challenging rites of passage by elders. These experiences often required courage and a confrontation with fears, leading to a new identity and a profound sense of belonging. Unfortunately, in today's convenience-oriented culture, these traditional connections and rites of passage are often missing, leaving many feeling stuck in their childhood narratives and unprepared for adulthood. **The Importance of Letting Go**  To fully embrace our potential, Trainer stresses the need to let go of old stories that no longer serve us. He shares a personal experience of slipping and injuring his wrist, using this incident as a metaphor for the importance of paying attention to life's signals. He highlights how injuries can teach us valuable lessons about health, patience, and resilience. In moments of struggle, we are reminded to reflect on our paths and take responsibility for our choices. **Finding Your Purpose**  The conversation then shifts to the significance of stepping into our purpose, or Dharma. Trainer explains that when we neglect our true calling, life can feel chaotic and unsteady. However, when we stand firm in our convictions and embrace our roles within our communities, we can navigate challenges with greater ease. This self-awareness leads to empowerment, allowing us to transition from one life stage to another, whether it's from maiden to mother or prince to king. **Community and Support**  Michael shares his own journey of individuation, which included participating in men's work with his father and engaging in transformative programs like the Mankind Project. He emphasizes the importance of community in this process, as being witnessed by others can facilitate growth and healing. However, he also acknowledges that not everyone has access to such experiences. Therefore, he encourages listeners to seek out mentors and peers who can inspire and challenge them to rise to their full potential. **Commitment to Growth**  As Trainer reflects on his own life, he recognizes the need to surround himself with individuals who push him forward, not just those who provide comfort. He shares his commitment to returning to a supportive community in Austin, Texas, where he plans to embark on a new chapter in 2026, focusing on personal growth and the birthing of a new book. This commitment, while daunting, represents a significant step in his journey toward individuation. What happens when you finally decide to stop playing small?In this intimate solo episode, Michael dives into the ancient and deeply human process of individuation—the moment you step out of the outdated version of yourself and into the role you were always meant to inhabit.Drawing on wisdom from his leadership mentor, Peter Roche, and archetypes from myth and psychology, Michael explores why so many of us are living out childhood stories long after they've expired… and what it takes to cross the threshold into your next chapter.He shares a recent personal moment—a literal fall—that became a metaphor for the ways life tries to get our attention when we're not stepping fully into our gifts, purpose, and power.You'll hear:Why you're the lead actor in your own storyThe archetypes (King, Warrior, Magician, Lover) that shape your identityHow ancient rites of passage forged adults who could protect communityWhat happens when we avoid the identity we're called to liveHow injury, setback, or friction can be a spiritual signalWhy strong peers and “iron sharpens iron” relationships matterThe difference between karma and dharmaWhy stepping into your bigness is not arrogance but responsibilityMichael's commitment to a new chapter—and an invitation to begin your ownIf you've been feeling the pull toward a bigger life, deeper purpose, truer relationships, or a more courageous version of yourself… this episode is your line in the sand.**Conclusion: Key Takeaways**  Michael Trainer's podcast serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of stepping into our true identities and the role of community in our journeys. Key takeaways include:- Embrace the idea that you are the lead actor in your life and have the power to shape your narrative.- Recognize the value of traditional rites of passage and seek out ways to create your own.- Let go of stories that no longer serve you and focus on your true purpose.- Surround yourself with a community that inspires growth and pushes you to reach your potential.- Commit to continuous personal development and be willing to embrace new chapters in your life.

When you expand your vision, you expand your relationships.In this episode, Michael explores the idea that “your relationships will move commensurate with your vision… and the bigger your vision, the bigger your relationships.” Whether you're called to a quiet, simple life or you feel a pull toward building something much larger than yourself, your “why” shapes who shows up in your world.Michael shares:How compelling vision and story helped him co-create Global Citizen and attract allies like Bill Fold (Coachella), the Foo Fighters, the Black Keys, and FedExThe neuroscience and ancient roots of why we're all still wired for campfire storiesHow events, podcasts, and books become “relationship engines” instead of just projectsThe Dalai Lama event that drew in Forrest Whitaker, Roland, and a whole constellation of unexpected collaboratorsWhy he doesn't identify as an “event producer,” but continues to create events for causes bigger than himselfHow Resonance is becoming a platform for human connection in an age of lonelinessA simple but powerful idea: always have an invitation in your back pocketHe closes with a beautiful story of a woman who met her husband at one of his gatherings—reminding us that when you bring people together around a meaningful vision, lives can literally change.You'll walk away with:A new way to think about vision—not just as a personal goal, but as a social magnetPractical ideas for turning your vision into platforms (podcasts, events, salons, books) that attract aligned peopleReflection questions to clarify your own “why” and the relationships you want to build Michael Trainer has spent 30 years learning from Nobel laureates, neuroscientists, and wisdom keepers worldwide.

“The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.” – W.M. LewisIn this solo episode, Michael reflects on the ways we delay the life that's calling us. He shares how he waited years to launch this very podcast and over a decade to write his book, Resonance, and what finally helped him get out of his own way.Drawing on Steven Pressfield's The War of Art and Elizabeth Gilbert's Big Magic, he explores the idea of the “muse” – that creative force that wants to move through us – and the counterforce Pressfield calls “resistance.” He weaves in stories from elders facing the end of their lives, including a man who had never once been met at the airport, and contrasts that with memories of his father, a man who always showed up.In this conversation, you'll hear about:Why we wait so long to begin the life that's meant for usThe muse, resistance, and how to finally start dancing with your creative callingThe difference between résumé goals and eulogy goalsWhat elders' regrets can teach us about how to live nowWhy relationships — the people who would pick you up at 2 a.m. — matter more than anythingThis is an invitation to stop postponing your real life, to sing your unique song, and to surround yourself with the people who help you play it beautifully.

In this deeply resonant episode, Michael explores the second brain — the gut — and how its subtle signals can reveal more about our relationships than logic ever could.He shares a recent encounter in Bali that reminded him of one powerful truth:if it's not a full “yes,” it's often a “no.”You'll hear how the body tells us which connections are nourishing, which are neutral, and which quietly erode our energy. Michael explains why we ignore red flags, how to recognize the difference between signal and noise, and why people who leave us energized are invitations worth accepting.This episode is a reminder to trust the intelligence within you — to follow the feeling, honor the subtle cues, and invest in the relationships that invest back.Perfect for anyone seeking deeper clarity in dating, friendship, or life direction.

Send us a textHello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul and this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, I am delighted to welcome Kenneth Jarvis. Ken is a confirmed Global Traveler (he's visited 6 continents); Frequent Flyer (1.5 Million Miles on American Airlines and it's One world Partners); Frequent Floater (118 cruises all in suites, Pinnacle with Royal Caribbean / Zenith with Celebrity); and Business Traveler (Senior Director in Global Networks and Technology for a major telecom company).  Ken is also a retired social media influencer. He has numerous cruise reviews on Cruise Critic. Ken is a former co-leader of RCPeriscopers which was a Facebook group for people who used the live streaming app Periscope to broadcast live from cruise ships and would host an Annual Super Bowl Group cruise. Ken still hosts the YouTube Channel, Kcjarvis Suite Life. We have been social media friends for a couple of years and I have always found Ken's posts to be interesting and even intriguing—for instance his infamous “Post of the day,” whereby he highlights naïve, asinine, or outrageous cruise line posts made by prospective travelers; or references to #KJsAmazingSummer which I now know relates to major spring and summer vacations Ken goes on. And, he is from or at least works in my original hometown of New York City. So, I am delighted to now get to ask Ken about is travels directly and am so glad he agreed to come on The Joy of Cruising Podcast.Do you have a dream car?Support the showSupport thejoyofcruisingpodcast https://www.buzzsprout.com/2113608/supporters/newSupport Me https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drpaulthContact Me https://www.thejoyofcruising.net/contact-me.htmlBook Cruises http://www.thejoyofvacation.com/US Orders (coupon code joyofcruisingpodcast)The Joy of Cruising https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingCruising Interrupted https://bit.ly/CruisingInterruptedThe Joy of Cruising Again https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingAgainIntl Orders via Amazon

In today's episode, recorded live from Ubud, Bali, Michael shares a powerful, real-life moment of pure resonance — the kind of unexpected human connection that stops you in your tracks and reminds you of the magic that's possible when you're fully present.After a day spent walking through Bali's ceremonial offerings and reconnecting with his own inner rhythm, Michael experiences an effortless, deeply attuned connection with a stranger — one that reawakens the truth of what resonance feels like.In this intimate story, he explores:how to recognize when someone is “playing your song”why the nervous system knows resonance before the mind doeshow to approach new connections with courage, curiosity, and integritythe difference between dissonant relationships and aligned oneswhy small acts of openness lead to entire worlds of possibilityThis episode is a reminder that the relationships meant for you cannot miss you — and that the magic we want is waiting on the other side of presence, self-trust, and a single courageous moment.

This is a rich and highly engaging monologue! Here are some great options for the title, summary, and description, focusing on the core themes of self-mastery, environment, and energetic boundaries.Dissonance vs. Resonance: Tuning Your Environment and Stepping Up Your IdentityIn this tactical episode of Resonance, host Michael Trainer tackles the concept of Dissonance—the frustrating static and out-of-tune feeling that emerges when your core values and integrity aren't met by your environment or relationships.Drawing on his challenging experience while recording in Ubud, Bali, Michael unpacks how the gap between his grounded, pragmatic approach and the "maybe I'll show up, maybe I won't" culture became a powerful call to action.You will learn:The Power of Environment: Why physically changing your location (or "garden") is often the most direct and pragmatic way to reset your inner tune, especially when entering a new professional or personal phase.The Radical Reckoning: How to use tools like journaling, trusted friends, or even AI to uncover the blind spots and patterns that lead you to attract and tolerate dissonance.The Identity Manifesto: Michael shares his process for defining a new self-identity, including a declaration to stop "energizing" people and behaviors that don't share your high standards for integrity and follow-through.Confronting the Warrior's Task: How to turn dissonance into resonance by deliberately taking on the uncomfortable tasks, hard conversations, and long-avoided items that are draining your life force.Childhood Wounding as Signal: Recognizing that patterns of frustration (like constantly being flaked on) often connect back to unresolved childhood experiences, and how to use this awareness to heal and show up differently.This episode is a powerful message about holding yourself and your relationships to a higher standard, recognizing static, and intentionally cultivating the energy where your most beautiful music can play.

In this episode of Resonance, Michael Trainer pulls back the curtain on one of the most powerful relationship strategies he's ever learned — a strategy that transformed his life, unlocked access to global leaders, and helped build world-class communities and movements.He calls it The Anchor Strategy.At its core, the Anchor Strategy is simple:Create an offering so valuable that extraordinary people naturally orbit around it.Michael shares how this principle guided him from building Global Citizen to hosting His Holiness the Dalai Lama for his 80th birthday, to facilitating sold-out conversations with Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle, Gabby Bernstein, Marie Forleo, and more.You'll hear the story of:how a 30-day meditation practice inspired him to host the Dalai Lamahow that one anchor created momentum he couldn't have imaginedhow the anchor of a single event led to hosting Deepak & Eckharthow a podcast becomes an anchor for world-class conversationshow anchors transform asks into meaningful offeringshow aligning altruistic impact with enlightened self-interest opens doorsand why being an offering is the most powerful frame for modern connectionMichael also breaks down:✔ how to use events and experiences as magnetizing anchors✔ how to build momentum by inviting people into something meaningful✔ how a podcast becomes an anchor for relationship building✔ how to transform cold outreach into a warm invitation✔ why being of value attracts people you once thought unreachable✔ and why the best ways to build relationships are not transactionalWhether you're building community, launching a platform, creating a movement, or simply trying to connect more deeply, the Anchor Strategy gives you a timeless blueprint for exponential relationships.This is the physics of human connection.This is how you build a life of resonance.

Show NotesAs artificial intelligence begins generating music from vast datasets of human art, a fundamental question emerges: who truly owns the sound of AI? This episode of Music Evolves brings together a law student and former musician Chandler Lawn, music industry executive and professor Drew Thurlow, Michael Sheldrick, Co-Founder of Global Citizen, and intellectual property attorney Puya Partow-Navid, alongside hosts Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli, to examine how AI is reshaping authorship, licensing, and the meaning of originality.The panel explores how AI democratizes creation while exposing deep ethical and economic gaps. Lawn raises the issue of whether artists whose works trained AI models deserve compensation, asking if innovation can be ethical when built on uncompensated labor. Thurlow highlights how, despite fears of automation, generative AI music accounts for less than 1% of streaming royalties—suggesting opportunity, not replacement.Sheldrick connects the conversation to a broader global context, describing how music's economic potential could drive sustainable development if nations modernize copyright frameworks. He views this shift as a rare chance to position creative industries as engines for jobs and growth.Partow-Navid grounds the discussion in legal precedent, pointing to landmark cases—from Two Live Crew to George R. R. Martin—as markers of how courts may interpret fair use, causality, and global jurisdiction in AI-driven creation.Together, the guests agree that the debate extends beyond legality. It's about the emotional authenticity that makes music human. As Chandler notes, “We connect through imperfection.” Marco adds that live performance may ultimately anchor value in a world saturated by digital replication.This conversation captures the tension—and promise—of a future where music, technology, and law must learn to play in harmony.GuestsChandler Lawn, AI Innovation and Law Fellow at The University of Texas School of Law | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chandlerlawn/Drew Thurlow, Adjunct Professor at Berklee College of Music | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drewthurlow/Michael Sheldrick, Co-Founder and Chief Policy, Impact and Government Affairs Officer at Global Citizen | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-sheldrick-30364051/Puya Partow-Navid, Partner at Seyfarth Shaw LLP | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/puyapartow/Marco Ciappelli, Co-Founder, ITSPmagazine and Studio C60 | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.comHostSean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine, Studio C60, and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast & Music Evolves Podcast | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com/ResourcesLegal Publication: You Can't Alway Get What You Want: A Survey of AI-related Copyright Considerations for the Music Industry published in Vol. 32, No. 3 of the Texas State Bar Entertainment and Sports Law Journal.BOOK: Machine Music: How AI Is Transforming Music's Next Act by Drew Thurlow: https://www.routledge.com/Machine-Music-How-AI-is-Transforming-Musics-Next-Act/Thurlow/p/book/9781032425242BOOK: From Ideas to Impact: A Playbook for Influencing and Implementing Change in a Divided World by Michael Sheldrick: https://www.fromideastoimpact.com/AI and Copyright Blogs:https://www.gadgetsgigabytesandgoodwill.com/category/ai/https://www.gadgetsgigabytesandgoodwill.com/2025/11/dr-thaler-is-right-in-part/https://www.gadgetsgigabytesandgoodwill.com/2025/07/californias-ai-law-has-set-rules-for-generative-ai-are-you-ready/https://www.gadgetsgigabytesandgoodwill.com/2025/06/copyright-office-firings-spark-constitutional-concerns-amid-ai-policy-tensions/Newsletter (Article, Video, Podcast): The Human Touch in a Synthetic Age: Why AI-Created Music Raises More Than Just Eyebrows: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/human-touch-synthetic-age-why-ai-created-music-raises-martin-cissp-s9m7e/Article — Universal and Sony Music partner with new platform to detect AI music copyright theft using ‘groundbreaking neural fingerprinting' technology: https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/universal-and-sony-music-partner-with-new-platform-to-detect-ai-music-copyright-theft-using-groundbreaking-neural-fingerprinting-technology/Article: When Virtual Reality Is A Commodity, Will True Reality Come At A Premium: https://sean-martin.medium.com/when-virtual-reality-is-a-commodity-will-true-reality-come-at-a-premium-4a97bccb4d72Global Citizen: https://www.globalcitizen.org/Gallo Music (Gallo Records, South Africa): https://www.gallo.co.za/Global Citizen Festival: https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/festival/Andy Warhol Foundation v.

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.In the past few days Shakira's global stardom has blazed even brighter blending philanthropy art pop sensation and historical homecomings. According to AllHipHop and as widely covered in international news Shakira just joined superstar The Weeknd on the newly launched FIFA Global Citizen Education Board aimed at steering a 100 million dollar campaign to help children access education worldwide—a mission that is as ambitious as her artistic career. This huge initiative announced by FIFA and Global Citizen includes other luminaries like Serena Williams and Ivanka Trump and will leverage their combined platforms to reach 100000 kids in over 200 communities. With more than 350 million children currently out of school Shakira's involvement is being spotlighted as both strategic and deeply personal underscoring her ongoing dedication to social issues which look likely to define her legacy as much as her music.But it's not just in boardrooms and philanthropy where Shakira is making noise. The singer just performed two sold-out concerts in Cali Colombia over the past weekend creating what Spreaker described as a triumphant homecoming moment cheered on by fans and media alike. These concert dates come as part of Shakira's monumental Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour which began earlier this year in Brazil and is already setting records for attendance and gross receipts. Billions in production dollars are reportedly behind this globe-spanning tour which sees Shakira herself calling it the most ambitious of her career with bigger venues added across the Americas to meet overwhelming demand. Adjustments remain par for the course—recent cancellations included Miami and Inglewood due to local protests and San Antonio owing to venue issues—but each time she emerges back on stage to sold-out crowds and standing ovations. Her shows have featured surprise duets with Latin stars like Maluma Ozuna and Alejandro Sanz and this October she drew viral attention on Instagram sharing behind-the-scenes footage from her tour rehearsals clearly signaling her direct involvement in every stage detail.There is more on the horizon—NosEnchanteurs confirms Shakira's November will include three headline concerts in Ecuador lighting up a new swath of South American audiences. Social media has been ablaze with anticipation for these dates especially given her historic return to Colombia and the critical acclaim surrounding her 2024 album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran. Pop culture coverage continues to be dominated by Shakira's life on and off stage with her activism concert spectacles and infectious social posts keeping her trending worldwide. Her appearance in FIFA's headline-grabbing campaign and her relentless tour momentum are not just newsworthy events but milestones certain to endure in the story of one of music's most influential icons.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Shakira is experiencing a major homecoming moment this weekend as she returns to Colombia's stages, thrilling fans with two sold-out concerts at Cali's Pascual Guerrero stadium to relaunch the Latin American leg of her “Women No Longer Cry” world tour. According to EFE and coverage by Diario Libre, Shakira was visibly emotional and told the crowd she had been eagerly awaiting these shows, which feature Grupo Niche as her opening act. The energy in Cali was described by Shakira as “so beautiful,” and she emphasized her personal joy at performing for her Colombian audience again after years spent touring the globe.Hot on the heels of this triumphant homecoming, Shakira has also been making international headlines thanks to her upcoming headline spot alongside The Weeknd at the 2025 Global Citizen Festival in New York City's Central Park, scheduled for September 27. As reported by AOL and FrontView Magazine, the festival will not only showcase Shakira before a global audience, but will be co-hosted by Hugh Jackman and feature speakers such as Bill Nye and Danai Gurira. Social media buzz spiked following this announcement, with Shakira's fans flooding platforms like X, Instagram, and TikTok with festival countdowns and celebratory posts—a testament to her enduring global appeal.Meanwhile, Shakira has been in the pop culture conversation for reasons outside of her music. The Los Angeles Times and Variety both reported Shakira's strong public support for Bad Bunny as the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show headliner. With some conservative U.S. voices expressing criticism over the selection, Shakira defended Bad Bunny's inclusion as long overdue and pointed to the increasing mainstream acceptance of Spanish-language music—a movement she herself helped pioneer during her historic 2020 Super Bowl performance.Music milestones have also become a focal point this week: in partnership with Spotify, Shakira is celebrating the anniversaries of her landmark albums “Pies Descalzos” and “Oral Fixation” with a new live EP and a video special. This exclusive content spotlights Shakira's influence across generations and includes special guests like Ed Sheeran and Beéle, adding new dimensions to her classic hits as described by Spotify's official newsroom.No confirmed new business dealings or acquisitions have surfaced in the past few days, and there are no reports of updated catalog transactions since the Hipgnosis purchase of her publishing rights. However, anniversary content and world tour performances are driving a sharp uptick in streaming and social conversation. No major controversies or unverified rumors have gained traction. Headlines like “Shakira Celebrates Her Return to Colombian Stage on Her Arrival in Cali” and “Shakira Shuts Down the Tonight Show” cap off a whirlwind week for the superstar, who appears at the height of both her creative powers and her cultural impact.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Shakira continues to prove she is both a global pop icon and a tireless performer. In the past few days, her presence has dominated major headlines and captivated fans worldwide. On September 27, she was the closing headliner at the 2025 Global Citizen Festival in Central Park, New York, delivering a show-stopping performance capped with her classic smash Hips Dont Lie. The festival was widely covered by outlets like Global Citizen and Black America Web, emphasizing her status as the nights technical and emotional highlight and celebrating her layers of choreography, vocals, and spectacle at 48 years old. Her set trended heavily on social media, with fan clips and reviews praising her energy and longevity.Despite winning Best Latin Song at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards for her hit Soltera, Shakira was not present at the award ceremony in Elmont, New York. As reported by AOL, her absence had a practical reason she was performing live in Guadalajara, Mexico, as part of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour. This tour continues to be a central focus, with recent shows in Mexico City and Puebla and upcoming dates across the Americas, including a major concert scheduled for October 26 in Cali, Colombia. Her tour logistics have kept her in the headlines and all ticketing platforms are noting strong demand.A recent hiccup in her US tour schedule drew attention when her May 29 Boston show was abruptly canceled at Fenway Park due to what venues described as unforeseen circumstances, sparking frustration and social media debate among attendees. No official comment from Shakiras team has clarified further, fueling speculation, but no controversy is currently attached to her personally according to USA Today and social posts.Behind the scenes, Shakira remains a formidable businesswoman. Urbansplatter notes her continued influence in real estate and music streaming investments, underscoring her strategic approach to wealth and legacy, though no new ventures or controversies have surfaced in the past week.

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.It's been a headline-making stretch for Shakira, marked by a massive public performance, a high-profile property sale, and the kind of activism that's kept her at the heart of global culture. The most significant event—both musically and in terms of biographical impact—was her electric headlining appearance at the Global Citizen Festival 2025 in New York's Central Park. Sources including ABC7NY and Azat.tv detail how Shakira took the stage to a crowd of 60,000 and millions tuning in online, infusing her set with not just star power but a rallying cry for social and environmental action. She collaborated with the festival to champion energy access in Africa, protection for the Amazon, and a global push for education, making her music the centerpiece of an international movement that aims to mobilize hundreds of millions in aid and investment. Hugh Jackman hosted, Cardi B joined the lineup, and global leaders listened as Shakira's performance elevated the evening beyond entertainment. Her own statement to ABC7NY summed up the moment: “I'm honored to headline... Music has always been my way of connecting with people and leaving a mark on the world. I can't wait to perform, unite, and inspire action.”Away from the stage but still in the headlines, Shakira successfully closed a real estate chapter with Gerard Piqué, selling one of their luxury homes in Barcelona for over 3 million euros, as Idealista reports. The sale, notable for its high-end amenities and status within a three-property complex built together in 2012, marks another step in separating their financial ties three years after their highly public breakup. Tensions reportedly surfaced around the sale price, with Shakira holding firm while Piqué pushed for a quicker closure. While the final figure fell below their earliest targets, it signals a move forward; she's now settled in Miami, pursuing new projects.On the social media front, festival footage and Shakira's own posts from Global Citizen flooded Instagram and Twitter, with hashtags like #GlobalCitizenFestival trending globally and fans celebrating her advocacy as much as her vocals. Major outlets like Times of India and Mitú saluted her dual role as entertainer and activist, highlighting not just her performance but the long-term resonance of artists using their platform for change.No major scandals or unconfirmed rumors have surfaced in recent days—most chatter has been rooted in verifiable public moments and official statements. In sum, Shakira's recent activities have reinforced her image as a pop icon whose impact reaches far beyond music into philanthropy, real estate, and international visibility. The Global Citizen Festival stands out as a moment likely to define her biography for years to come—a clear example of star power harnessed for cause, not just applause.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Few organizations have redefined what activism looks like in the 21st century more than Global Citizen—a movement that began with three high school friends in Australia and has now mobilized millions of people worldwide, leveraging over $49 billion in commitments that have impacted 1.3 billion lives. At the center of this extraordinary transformation is Hugh Evans, Co-Founder and CEO of Global Citizen.Hugh was inspired by Nelson Mandela's revolutionary declaration that overcoming poverty “is not a gesture of charity, but it's an act of justice.” From securing $250 million from Norway's Prime Minister through a strategic Twitter invasion to pioneering the use of music festivals as diplomatic summits, Global Citizen has cracked the code on making world leaders accountable to the world's most vulnerable.In today's conversation, Hugh reveals how technology, focus, and relentless innovation are reshaping the fight against extreme poverty.It's Hugh Evans on The Business of Giving.

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.In the past several days, Shakira has once again been at the center of major headlines for both her music and her activism. She took home the Best Latin Song award for her single Soltera at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, a significant achievement considering the fierce competition from acts like Bad Bunny, J Balvin, and Karol G. However, she skipped the high-profile ceremony in Elmont, New York—her absence explained by Elle as due to her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran world tour, which saw her playing to packed venues in Guadalajara the same evening. Earlier, she was photographed electrifying fans in Mexico City on August 26. The tour remains a defining focus for Shakira as she continues with dates across Mexico, with Puebla up next and anticipation running high.Shakira's connection with the VMAs remains historic: she became the first South American artist to accept the Video Vanguard Award in 2023, joining icons like Beyoncé and Madonna. During her acceptance, she paid tribute to her two sons and her ever-loyal fanbase with a moving speech that trended widely across social media. Fans on X and Instagram have been sharing clips and shout-outs from both her tour performances and her heartfelt VMAs moments, keeping her constantly in the public eye.Looking ahead, Shakira is set to further her legacy as a global influencer and activist by headlining the 2025 Global Citizen Festival in Central Park, New York, alongside The Weeknd. She affirmed in a press release, widely circulated by Global Citizen and entertainment outlets, that music is her platform to unite and promote action on urgent global issues. This festival, hosted by Hugh Jackman, aims to tackle challenges like energy access in Africa, education for children in partnership with FIFA, rainforest protection, and mobilizing New Yorkers for volunteer work. The festival's ambitious aims and Shakira's spotlight presence have ignited conversations in both music and social impact circles.Business-wise, Shakira's brand continues to dominate; her world tour is driving ticket sales and venue sell-outs, and her festival commitment positions her as both entertainer and advocate. There have been no credible reports of new business ventures or controversies within the last week—her focus appears to remain sharply on live performance and global action.Social media mentions of Shakira have spiked thanks to fan posts about her recent shows and the buzz surrounding her upcoming New York performance. While some blogs and minor outlets speculated about surprise collaborations or potential tour extensions, these remain unconfirmed at this time. Verified news centers on her award win, sold-out concerts, and the impending Global Citizen spotlight—all signs that Shakira is entering a new phase defined by both musical prominence and global advocacy.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Shakira continues to operate at full tilt, blending pop domination with strategic business moves and global philanthropy. Over the past few days, major headlines crowned her yet again as a chart queen—she won Best Latin Song for her single Soltera at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, outpacing competition from Bad Bunny and Karol G. But in classic Shakira style, she skipped the New York ceremony to deliver a sold-out show in Guadalajara, Mexico, part of her blockbuster Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour. This tour, her first global circuit since El Dorado in 2018, was announced to feverish demand at Coachella last April and has already forced organizers to upgrade venues to accommodate the crowds. Spotlights remain intense—she's set to headline San Francisco's newly expanded show next June, a testament to her pull in both North and South America, with tickets flying from giants like Ticketmaster and AXS as fans scramble to catch her live.Beyond her stage prowess, Shakira's business savvy continues to stun. According to recent revelations from YouTube's deep-dive on celebrity fortunes, she sold her entire song catalog's publishing rights to Hypnosis Songs Fund for over $100 million in 2021, ensuring steady income while granting herself the freedom to invest elsewhere. Her entrepreneurial reach extends into consumer brands like High Brew Coffee and The Citizenry, and she's stayed agile, quietly venturing into crypto and NFTs before the market cooled. Between her lucrative deals and lean lifestyle—think private jet with a mobile HQ rather than flashy cars—she's a study in understated wealth management, with her net worth easily cresting $350 million by expert accounts.Social media has been ablaze celebrating her recent Mexico City performance, with fans posting viral videos that capture her signature athletic dance and breathtaking stage visuals. Speculation swirled about her relationships and Piqué's new real estate ventures, but Shakira herself has stayed above the fray, maintaining focus on her work and sons.Perhaps most biographically significant, Shakira is set to return to New York City's Central Park this September, co-headlining the 2025 Global Citizen Festival alongside The Weeknd. Global Citizen, Rolling Stone, and local outlets have confirmed that Shakira's appearance will blend music with activism, using her star power to push for energy access in Africa, rainforest preservation, and global education. Headlines highlight her as both performer and catalyst for change, a reflection of her evolving legacy as not just a pop icon but a philanthropist for a new era.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

I tell the story of a remarkable CEO who defied cultural limitations in Morocco, built her career across multiple countries, and earned the nickname “Water Lady” for brokering a major deal between Saudi Arabia and the U.S. We explore how leading in different cultures teaches unique lessons—like patience in Japan or entrepreneurship in the U.S.—and why cultural blind spots, such as Disney's failed “Euro Disney” launch, can sink even the strongest brands. You can't lead a world-sized organization without a world-sized mindset. Check out what it means to build this mindset in this episode.   ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

Coming up on this episode of Flirtations, we're talking practical optimism and how this grounded, science-backed approach can help guide us toward more fulfilling connections and loving relationships. Joining us for this conversation is Dr. Sue Varma, a board-certified psychiatrist, clinical assistant professor at NYU, and the author of Practical Optimism: The Art, Science, and Practice of Exceptional Well-Being. Her work has helped countless people navigate trauma, stress, and uncertainty—and today, she's helping us bring more purpose and emotional resilience into our dating lives. In this conversation, we unpack what it really means to be optimistic in a world that doesn't always make it easy. We talk about why it's so hard to be alone, but how we can do just that without giving in to loneliness.  We explore how we can stop comparing ourselves to other people, how we can find purpose in small, everyday moments, and why empathy is so important to true, genuine connection. We also ask questions like, "Is happiness a choice?" "Can we train our brains to think bigger and love deeper?" And, "What does it mean to be a practical optimist?" If you're struggling to keep the hope alive out there dating or are having a hard time believing in yourself, you don't want to miss this episode! Dr. Varma's work has sincerely changed my own life in my longtime battle with depression and I hope that by the end of this episode, if you're having a hard time in your life, things will get just a bit easier.

ITSPmagazine Weekly Update | From Black Hat to Black Sabbath / Ozzy: AI Agents and Guitars (again!) + Entry Level Cybersecurity Jobs, Robots Evolution, and the Weekly Recap You Didn't Expect  -  On Marco & Sean's Random & Unscripted Podcast  __________________Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin are back with another random and unscripted weekly recap—from pre-Black Hat buzz and AI agents to vintage wood guitars, talent gaps, and Glen Miller debates. This week's reflection hits tech, music, and philosophy in all the right ways. Tune in, ramble with us, and subscribe. __________________Full Blog Article This week's recap was a ride.Sean and I kicked things off with the big news: we're officially consistent. Weekly recap number… I lost count. But we're doing it. We covered what ITSPmagazine's been working on, what we've been publishing, and where our minds are wandering lately (spoiler: everywhere).Black Hat USA 2025 is just around the corner, and we're deep into prep mode. I even bought a paper map. Why? I don't know. But we've got some great pre-event conversations already out—like our annual chat with Black Hat GM Steve Wylie, plus briefings with Dropzone AI (get ready for “agentic automation” to be the next big buzzword) and Akamai (yes, bots and APIs again, but with a solid strategy twist).We also talked about a fantastic episode Sean did on resonance and reinvention—featuring Cindy, a luthier in NYC who builds custom guitars using century-old beams from historic buildings. The pickups even use the old nails. Music and wood with a past life. It's beautiful stuff.Speaking of stories, I officially closed down the Storytelling podcast. But don't worry—I'm still telling stories. I've just shifted focus to “Redefining Society and Technology,” my newsletter and podcast series where I explore how humans and tech evolve together. This week's edition tackled the merging of humans and machines as a new species. Isaac Asimov meets Andy Clark.We also got a bit philosophical about AI and jobs. If machines take over the “easy” roles, where do humans begin? Are we cutting off our own training paths?Sean's episode with John Solomon dug into the cybersecurity hiring crisis—challenging the idea that we have a “talent gap.” The real issue? We're not hiring or nurturing people properly.Oh, and I finally released my long-overdue interview with Michael Sheldrick from Global Citizen. Music. Social impact. Doing good. It's all there. I'm honored to support even a small piece of what he's building.And yes… Ozzy. RIP. Music never dies.So if you're into random reflections with meaning, tech with humanity, and stories that don't always follow the rules—subscribe, share, and join the ride.See you in Vegas. Or the future. Or somewhere in between.________________ KeywordsBlack Hat USA 2025, ITSPmagazine recap, Marco Ciappelli, Sean Martin, cybersecurity podcast, AI in cybersecurity, agentic automation, Dropzone AI, Akamai APIs, HITRUST security, Global Citizen, Michael Sheldrick, storytelling podcast, Redefining Society, Andy Clark, Isaac Asimov, human-machine evolution, cybersecurity talent gap, custom guitar NYC, Ozzy tributeHosts links:

In our first segment, we are joined by Michael Sheldrick, co-founder of Global Citizen, who explains what was accomplished at this major UN meeting — and what was left on the table.
