O'Brien, RN shares a heartfelt Year in Review for the Doulagivers Institute, reflecting on three extraordinary milestones that are helping transform end-of-life care around the world. This episode honors what's possible when education, compassion, and community come together.

In this episode I am joined by Brigit Blair, the founder and owner of Linden Leaves. The story of Linden Leaves originally began in Christchurch, New Zealand in the 1990s with Brigit desiring to help care for two of her children with eczema and allergies. At that time, natural and effective products that were kind to sensitive skin were hard to find, and so out of necessity, Linden Leaves was born. Brigit began harvesting and freeze-drying roses, and blending fruit and flower oils with the unique scent of essential oil blends. It became a real labour of love for Brigit, who set out to create beautiful and quality handmade natural products that were kind to the skin. From a humble family kitchen operation, Linden Leaves expanded into an internationally recognised brand known for its natural everyday luxury handmade products. This is Brigit's story of how a passion project focussed on family, care and sustainability grew into the business it is today. There is beauty, purpose and story within the handcrafted treasures produced by Linden Leaves. Enjoy.

In this episode, we sit down with Efrat Fenigson—independent journalist, public speaker, and host of You're the Voice—for a courageous conversation about sovereignty, power, and the systems that shape human behavior. Drawing from her lived experience growing up in Israel, Efrat speaks openly about identity, collective trauma, propaganda, and the psychological cost of questioning state narratives from within. From there, the conversation quickly widens to examine how control operates at a deeper structural level—through money. Efrat breaks down how the modern fiat monetary system erodes human agency and why Bitcoin represents a radically different model rooted in decentralization and personal sovereignty. This is a nuanced, unsanitized dialogue connecting geopolitics, psychology, sound money and a sober yet inspiring look at what it means to reclaim authority over your life in an age of control.Time Stamps(00:00) Episode Teaser (00:22) Opening Conversation (04:29) Guest Introduction & Personal Journey (09:02) Growing Up in Israel (16:51) Peace Activism and Political Realizations (21:06) Complexities of Israeli-Palestinian Relations (38:52) Understanding Sovereignty (47:51) Fraudulent Fiat Economic System (55:03) Fractional Reserve Banking Explained (01:01:08) Bitcoin…The Solution to Fiat's Failures (01:18:56) Bitcoin's Origins and Global Impact (01:23:50) El Salvador's Bitcoin AdoptionGuest Linkshttps://linktr.ee/efenigson Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthRise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramFollow us on InstagramAccess all our links

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Shakira has been in the spotlight for several noteworthy developments over the past few days that highlight both her music career and public engagement. First, there is considerable buzz in Assam, India, where the Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma is actively working to bring Shakira to perform in Guwahati. This move aims to build on the momentum created by Post Malone's recent concert, as Assam is eager to develop its concert economy and boost tourism by attracting international superstars like Shakira. Sarma expressed strong optimism that her concert would add new vitality to the region's live music industry, following successes with previous globally renowned artists (India Today, Economic Times, Times of India). Although this is currently a government initiative to attract Shakira, no official confirmation from Shakira's camp has been reported, so her appearance remains a hopeful prospect rather than a confirmed engagement.In the United States, Shakira is gearing up for several live shows. She is scheduled for three “Up Close & Personal” concerts at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida, on December 27, 28, and 29, 2025. These shows will close out her latest “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour,” giving fans a more intimate concert experience. Tickets for these are actively on sale, confirming that these events are definite and part of her official tour schedule (Ticketmaster, Concert Addicts, Visit Lauderdale, Vibee).Recently, Shakira experienced a tense moment on tour during a performance at Centenario Stadium, where a fan unexpectedly pulled her hair as she interacted with the audience. Though surprised, she handled the incident professionally and continued performing without interruption. This incident sparked discussion on social media regarding the safety of artists during close-contact moments in concerts, with calls for improved security measures during live events (De Ultimo Minuto).In addition to live performances, Shakira is also expanding her presence in other domains. She was present at a major Ulta Beauty event marking the brand's expansion into the Mexico market, celebrating the opening of their first store in Mexico City, alongside other notable figures. This appearance signals her growing involvement in business and international brand collaborations beyond music (Investing.com).Moreover, Shakira contributed creatively as well, having written the anthem for the animated film Zootopia 2, highlighting her ongoing influence in entertainment outside the music stage (Parade).There is no confirmed news of new music releases or other major headline controversies involving Shakira in the past few days. The most significant updates revolve around her upcoming concerts, a notable fan interaction incident, government interest in inviting her for international concerts, and her role in brand events and film music.These developments collectively reinforce Shakira's stature as a global music icon actively engaging with fans and industries worldwide while navigating the challenges and opportunities of live performance and multifaceted creative projects.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Cristiano Ronaldo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Cristiano Ronaldo has dominated headlines over the past several days with a mix of sports achievements, personal milestones, and high-profile political encounters. The 40-year-old footballer continues to prove his staying power both on and off the pitch.On the sporting front, Sky Sports News reports that Ronaldo avoided a ban for Portugal's World Cup campaign following his red card against the Republic of Ireland during a World Cup qualifier. A FIFA disciplinary committee imposed a three-match ban, but suspended the final two matches for one year, provided he maintains clean conduct. Ronaldo had already missed one match against Armenia, meaning he can play in the opening games of the 2026 World Cup if he stays disciplined. This decision has sparked debate among fans, with many noting Ronaldo's previously unblemished record across 226 international appearances.In club action with Saudi Arabia's Al Nassr, Ronaldo recently capped off a match with a spectacular bicycle kick against Al Khaleej, showcasing his athletic prowess remains sharp despite his age. The moment generated significant social media engagement, with Ronaldo posting a concise three-word message that resonated across platforms.Perhaps most notably, Ronaldo met with United States President Donald Trump at the White House, an encounter that captured global attention. According to Ronaldo's social media statement, he expressed gratitude for the invitation and spoke about inspiring new generations through courage and responsibility. The meeting also included Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, highlighting Ronaldo's unique position bridging sports, politics, and international diplomacy.On the personal front, reports indicate Ronaldo and his fiancee Georgina Rodriguez have chosen to hold their wedding on Madeira Island next summer, strategically scheduled between the 2026 World Cup and the start of the Saudi Pro League season. The couple has been actively sharing moments together on social media.Current statistics underscore Ronaldo's remarkable longevity. He now boasts approximately 954 official career goals, 143 international goals for Portugal, 140 Champions League strikes, and previously scored 35 goals in a single Saudi season. His presence on social media remains substantial, with over 669 million Instagram followers receiving regular updates on his professional and personal life.These developments paint a picture of an athlete whose influence extends far beyond the football pitch, navigating international prominence while maintaining elite athletic performance well into his fifth decade.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

For episode 228, we have something special in store. In Web3, we spend a lot of time talking about potential: what blockchain could unlock for climate, aid, finance, or human rights. And those conversations matter because they help shape the future.But today, I want to cut through the noise and focus on what's happening right now.All around the world, builders, nonprofits, and communities are already using crypto rails to move money faster, more transparently, and more equitably than ever before. Real people are feeling the impact. Lives are changing. And these stories often go unheard.So in this special episode, I'm sharing eight powerful clips from past conversations; moments that highlight the human stories behind the tech, and the tangible impact being made today.You'll learn:

In one of our most popular episodes, Peter and Dan explore the benefits of cultivating an “Exponential Mindset,” an understanding that computation and derivative technologies (AI, VR, 3D Printing, etc.) are growing exponentially. Thirty doublings drive a billion-fold improvement that the human (linear) brain finds difficult to grasp. In this episode: Peter discusses how humans evolved to be linear thinkers, yet the power of our technology has long been doubling every 18 months. And the power of exponential doublings can be extraordinarily hard to wrap our heads around. Dan covers the history of the steam engine, examining how this specific innovation saw an exponential boom in global mobility.  Peter outlines how exponential technologies are converging, disrupting, and transforming business models and industries, enabling even small teams to compete successfully with large corporations.

From STEM trailblazer to AI visionary, Dr. Tamara Nall shares her extraordinary journey of perseverance, innovation, and purpose-driven leadership, showing women what it truly means to build with legacy in mind.Growing up in Alabama and Georgia, Dr. Nall's parents instilled a belief that education is the one thing no one can take away. When an Emory University counselor told her that STEM “wasn't for women like her,” she didn't retreat, she rose higher, applying that very night to a dual-degree program with Georgia Tech. She went on to become the first business student to graduate from that demanding program, blending business acumen with computer science — a foundation that would power her future as a global entrepreneur and change-maker.That same determination has guided every step of her journey. From Harvard Business School to earning a doctorate in engineering and leading The Leading Niche, her award-winning systems integration firm serving agencies like the CDC, NIH, and VA. When told she'd lost a government contract for not having a PhD, Dr. Nall didn't internalize rejection; she transformed it into action, completing her doctorate during the pandemic while running her company full-time. Her story is one of relentless learning, courage, and redefining what's possible for women in technology and business.In our conversation, Dr. Nall opens up about scaling sustainably, leading with empathy, and why women-owned businesses must focus not only on passion but profitability. She shares insights on strategic networking, purpose-driven culture, and her bold ventures in AI, from her platform Reli AI to Human AI Nation, where she's exploring the evolving relationship between humans and technology. Through it all, her message is clear: innovation begins when you dare to claim the space others say you don't belong in.This episode is a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and responsible leadership. Tune in to hear Dr. Tamara Nall's remarkable story and be inspired to build your own legacy of impact and innovation.Chapters 

Episode 110 features Isaac Kardon, Senior Fellow for China Studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and author of "China's Law of the Sea: The New Rules of Maritime Order." Kardon joins hosts Ray Powell and Jim Carouso to discuss how China uses domestic law, coast guard operations, and strategic ambiguity to reshape international maritime norms - especially in the South and East China Seas and the Yellow Sea.China's Approach to Maritime Law: Kardon explains that China's participation in international treaties, such as UNCLOS, differs fundamentally from rule-of-law societies like the U.S. Rather than constraining itself, China uses treaties as instruments for political and strategic advantage, showing significant flexibility in interpretation and enforcement.Global Impact of Indo-Pacific Maritime Order: The Indo-Pacific isn't just a regional issue - what happens there affects global trade, technology supply chains, and the daily lives of people worldwide. The COVID pandemic and events like the Ever Given incident in the Suez Canal reveal the fragility of maritime order, making disruptions to the global order dangerous for prosperity and peace.Frictions in the South China Sea: China's ratification of UNCLOS presented challenges, notably the framework that limits China's ability to claim “historic” zones like the “nine-dash line.” Despite arbitration rulings against Chinese claims, China responds in ways that undermine the effectiveness of international mechanisms, often using ambiguous claims and building capacity to assert control regardless of legal setbacks.Law, Power, and Regional Responses: The episode highlights the contrast between the legalistic approaches of “cricket-playing nations” and China's more instrumental use of law. Small states in the region rely on legal frameworks for protection, but China's power allows it to bend or contest those rules.Recent Developments: China has expanded its exclusion zone around Scarborough Shoal and used environmental pretext to assert control, demonstrating a pattern of using lawfare as a tool for broader strategic objectives.Future Directions: The discussion covers the gridlock over the ASEAN-China Code of Conduct process, the decline of sentimentality about U.S. leadership in maritime law, and the general skepticism about international law's ability to constrain powerful states. The hosts discuss the potential for the Indo-Pacific maritime disputes to become the setting for geopolitical drama, involving all facets from local fishermen and coast guards to great power competition.Kardon argues that China's lawfare bolsters its capabilities: strength and presence on the water matter just as much, if not more, than legal arguments. He describes the situation as “possession is nine-tenths of the law”—a reality that smaller states cannot match with mere legal claims.Policy Takeaways: International law matters less when powerful states refuse to be constrained. China's approach threatens regional cooperation and legal consistency.The episode calls for listeners to recognize how Indo-Pacific maritime order shapes global stability, trade, and strategic realities - and provides both practical insights and a thought-provoking narrative, encouraging listeners to see Indo-Pacific maritime disputes not just as legal questions but as complex dramas involving power, law, and the future of global cooperation.

Send us a textBrand authority doesn't start with a logo—it begins with a decision about how you want to show up. We sit down with Ann Marie Sorrell, president and CEO of the Mosaic Group, to unpack the strategy, grit, and heart behind a 20‑year journey from West Palm Beach to a growing Caribbean footprint. Ann Marie breaks down positioning that goes beyond aesthetics, showing how message, culture, and behavior align to create trust. Then she gets practical about content: why story matters, how to tailor for each platform, and what it takes to move people from scrolling to action.The conversation turns personal and powerful as Ann Marie recounts surviving the recession, canceled contracts, and foreclosure by clinging to a single Plan A and a daily bias for execution. That resilience paved the way for a bold move during the pandemic—scaling a regional forum into the National Black Economic Conference with global voices and tangible resources for Black entrepreneurs. We talk about designing events around outcomes, not optics, and building communities that leave with pathways, not platitudes.Ann Marie also opens the door to a complex, high‑growth space: cannabis. When rooms stayed closed, she built a new table through Cannabisiac to advance equity, access, and education in a highly regulated industry. We explore how to turn advocacy into credibility, translate policy into opportunity, and help underrepresented founders participate across the value chain. Finally, she unveils Mosaic Global Group, a unified structure that ties marketing, tech, coworking, philanthropy, and M&A into one platform built for scale and impact.If you're a founder, marketer, or leader hungry for clear positioning, smarter content, and resilient execution, this conversation is your playbook for turning vision into a movement.
