Tohle je zkrácená verze (97min), celý díl (117min) si můžeš poslechnout bez reklam, dřív a odemknout tím i spousty dalších dílů přímo na Spotify jen za stovku/měsíc. https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brainweare/subscribeDnes je to speciál nejen o reality show Zrádci! Dnes se totiž bavíme o emocích, vědomí a pravidlech sociálních her, které nám ve skutečnosti prozrazují víc o lidech a jejich uvažování, než kdo je zrádce a kdo ne.Rozebíráme, jak funguje konfirmační bias, authority bias, prestige bias a iluze transparentnosti - a proč se v psycho-hrách typu „Zrádci“ dějí stejné mentální zkratky jako v běžném životě: instalujeme filtry, hledáme důkazy, uzavíráme příběhy a zapomínáme, že smysl i pravda leží v integraci, ne v uzavření se do vlasntího příběhu.Tahle epizoda je o lidském prediktivním stroji, který chce mít ve všem jasno - i když žádné jasno není. O vztahu mozku a srdce, o entropii v sociálním prostoru a o tom, že:„Potřeba uzavřít příběh je někdy silnější než touha najít pravdu.“

In this episode, Ophira talks with author and storyteller Katy (Katharine) Strange about the tangled realities of raising tweens while untangling a past shaped by evangelical culture. Katy shares how moving 17 times as a kid primed her for reading a room—and for assuming friendships were optional until she realized she wasn't relocating again. She talks about letting her 13-year-old navigate Seattle's public transit with “mixed results,” including surprise solo detours through the city, and about trying to teach her kids religion only to have her son declare he's an existentialist who'd rather stay home and play Halo. Katy also opens up about stepping away from the church, wrestling with belief through therapy, and finding her way back to spiritual curiosity while writing her debut novel Manly Man of God, which pulls from her upbringing in Christian fundamentalism—with zero Cologne-drenched megachurch teenagers harmed in the process. And in the final moments, Ophira asks Katy about her son's readiness for confirmation, prompting Katy to admit that he took one look at her lesson plan and said, “I don't believe in any of this—I'm an atheist,” before returning to his video game.

In this episode of HALO Talks, host Pete Moore sits down with Reka Gobis from Kisaco Research. They discuss how their Connected Health & Fitness Conference is evolving to bring together industry leaders—from boutique gyms and major brands like Nike and Adidas, to healthcare giants like Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic. They discuss the importance of creating actionable, science-backed insights and meaningful connections in an intimate setting, all designed to help operators deliver tech-enabled solutions and drive real change in the HALO sector. If you're looking for fresh ideas, strategic partnerships, and inspiration for 2026 and beyond, this episode is a great guide to why you should be at next year's Connected event in LA on Feb 18-20! Gobis states, "At Kisako, and especially at our Connected event, we focus on content all of which is based in hours and hours of research with the industry and most importantly the primary market. The gyms, boutiques, wellness clubs, hotels, spas, longevity clinics we spoke to . . . are based on the key challenges that they are experiencing in the industry, and what we're trying to do over the year is find potential solutions to these key challenges." Key themes discussed Evolution of the Connected Health & Fitness Conference. Integrating the health, wellness, fitness, and technology sectors. Senior-level industry attendance and networking opportunities. Science-backed, actionable conference content and research. Partnerships between operators, brands, and healthcare providers. Dedicated focus on women's health and longevity. Emphasis on community, member experience, and practical takeaways. A Few Key Takeaways: 1.Evolution and Focus of the Connected Event: Rika explained how the Connected Health & Fitness event has evolved over seven years, expanding beyond just connected fitness to now fully encompass health, wellness, fitness, and tech. The goal is to create an ecosystem that enables operators to deliver science-backed, holistic, and tech-enabled solutions for the industry. 2. High-Level Attendees and Diverse Ecosystem: One of the distinctive aspects of the event is its seniority of attendees—50-60% are C-level executives. The audience isn't limited to traditional fitness operators but also includes hotels, spas, healthcare providers (like Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic), insurance, pharma, and big brands like Nike and Adidas. This diversity encourages powerful partnerships and networking across adjacent industries. 3. Research-Driven, Actionable Content: The programming is based on extensive industry research, focusing on real, current challenges faced by operators, boutiques, hotels, and clinics. The format emphasizes rapid-fire, specific sessions (typically 20-30 minutes) driven by data and science, not just generic panel discussions. Rika personally ensures all sessions deliver tangible ROI and actionable takeaways. 4. Special Emphasis on Emerging Topics: Women's Health & Longevity: A unique aspect of the 2026 event is a multi-hour Women's Health Symposium—a significant step up from the usual short panels—tackling issues like hormones, fertility, training around the menstrual cycle, and case studies from operators leading in this space. There's also a significant focus on longevity and how fitness operators can position themselves as preventive health "hubs" in partnership with healthcare. 5. Opportunities for Hands-On Learning, Networking & Fun: Attendees will have access to workshops, a workout room, media lounge for podcasts, workout/recovery pop-ups, and the chance to try the latest in equipment and wellness experiences. Rika guarantees not just actionable business insights, but meaningful connections and enjoyable experiences that can reshape attendees' strategic plans for 2026 and beyond.

Only three days after launching, Sky had to take down its TikTok channel for female sports fans. Branded as the "lil-sis" of Sky Sports, it was complete with pink hearts and Barbies. But were they on to something? How do we get more young women hooked on sport? The person who figures that out has hit a goldmine. To try to strike gold, Gabby chats to Chris Paouros, Vice-Chair of the Football Supporters Association, and Ceylon Andi Hickman, Deputy Chief Executive of Football Beyond Borders.Plus we look back at this week on The Sports Agents, from illegal streaming wars to The Ashes.
"Halo, Dayton?!" Tako se je pred leti oglasila prodajalka v eni izmed sarajevskih mesnic, ki se je imenovala po Daytonskem sporazumu. Mesnica je propadla, nadomestila jo je igralnica. Zelo simbolično za mirovni sporazum, ki so ga novembra 1995 sklenili tedanji predsedniki Srbije Slobodan Miloševič, Bosne in Hercegovine Alija Izetbegović in Hrvaške Franjo Tuđman. V Bosni in Hercegovini so od Daytonskega sporazuma, s katerim se je končala triletna vojna, v kateri je umrlo več kot sto tisoč ljudi, pričakovali veliko, vendar je država 30 let po Daytonu še naprej močno zbirokratizirana, nerazvita in razcepljena. Na različnih ravneh ima država neverjetnih 14 vlad, nacionalistične težnje so kljub nekaterim dobrim praksam sobivanja vse močnejše, približevanje Evropski uniji je zastalo. Kakšna je prihodnost Bosne in Hercegovine v luči reformiranja države, notranje politike in aktualnih geostrateških izzivov.
Naszym gościem będzie dzisiaj Damian Gabryś, jeden z lepszych graczy z polski w Halo Infinite (jak nie najlepszy).

A o czym będzie wywiad? Na pewno o wydarzeniu w Londynie z zeszłego roku, w którym Damian brał udział. Poza tym dowiecie się ile czasu spędza przed grą, czemu większość graczy gra na padach a nie na mysz+klawiatura, ciekawe taktyki i mnóstwo fajnych rzeczy. Ogólnie polecamy nie tylko fanom Halo!Możecie komentować pod odcinkiem, na naszym fanpage'u oraz możecie wysłać do nas maile.

In this episode of HALO Talks, industry veteran CJ Bouchard opens up to host Pete Moore about the realities of entrepreneurship in the fitness industry, sharing candid stories of risk, resilience, and what it really means to build from the ground up. From betting his savings on a fledgling franchise in North Carolina and initially making daily two-hour commutes, to pivoting and learning tough lessons about club size, site selection, and market expansion, CJ reveals how grit, adaptability, and a clear mission have fueled Excel Fitness's phenomenal growth. Planet Fitness (NYSE:PLNT) is one of the largest and fastest-growing operators of fitness centers in the U.S, and Excel Fitness Holdings is one of their largest franchisees currently operating 150+ clubs in Austin, Dallas/Ft Worth, Tulsa, Northwest Arkansas, North Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Georgia, and Virginia. Their mission is to build a team culture and atmosphere constructed on trust, humility, and strong relationships, always leading by example and putting others first with the utmost integrity, dedication, and accountability. Pete and CJ also dive into how partnering with private equity has transformed the business, what it takes to be a successful operator in today's market, what to expect when working with a PE firm, and the importance of building a strong team and community-driven approach. CJ also shares the meaning behind his "Hope is not a strategy" tattoo, and why execution—not wishful thinking—remains his guiding principle. Whether you're a club owner, aspiring HALO sector entrepreneur, or curious about how major fitness brands expand, this episode is packed with actionable insights, real-world advice, and plenty of inspiration from one of the industry's top leaders. Key themes discussed Entrepreneurial journey and early struggles in fitness industry. Evolution and disruption of the Planet Fitness business model. Challenges involved in club building and expansion. The critical importance of location for a gym's success. Strategic growth: Acquisitions, private equity, and territory development. Leadership style: Clarity, vision, and execution over hope. A Few Takeaways: 1.Entrepreneurial Grit & Humble Beginnings: Bouchard started in the fitness industry as a personal trainer without a college degree, working in Connecticut's gym scene and grinding through tough times. He didn't take a paycheck for two years and put payroll on credit cards when launching his first Planet Fitness in North Carolina. Real entrepreneurship often means sacrifice, resilience, and relentless commitment. 2. Evolution from "Hardcore" Gyms to Disrupting the Market: CJ's transition from traditional gyms (Gold's, World Gym, etc.) to Planet Fitness highlights a change in business philosophy. It went from focusing on "results" to focusing on "access." He recognized Planet's disruptive model early on, betting on a concept that many were skeptical about and ultimately building one of the largest Planet Fitness area development companies in the country. 3. Importance of Site Selection and Operational Knowledge: Both Bouchard and Moore emphasized how crucial it is to understand the nuances of real estate, site selection, and the operational details of running clubs. The value of personally touring sites and knowing the history and layout of each location is essential. Software and reports can't replace firsthand experience. 4. Strategic Growth: Mergers, Acquisitions & Private Equity: Under CJ, Excel Fitness strategically expanded through acquiring clubs, merging with other operators, and partnering with private equity (Olympus Partners.) CJ shared how growth now includes both new club development and acquisitions of existing gyms (like Texas Family Fitness), always with an eye on preserving legacy and community as much as possible. 5. Culture, Team, and Values: CJ's leadership philosophy stresses execution, daily engagement in operations, and a moral compass focused on building communities through fitness. His tattoo "Hope Is Not a Strategy" clearly shows his belief in preparation and action, not relying on luck. He also spoke passionately about valuing long-term employees and creating opportunities for others in the organization.

Since at least late 2024, Russell Wilson has left thirsty comments on his wife Ciara's Instagram posts asking for baby number five – aka, “Cinco.” Blake and Caroline join Ciara in her public plea to give her uterus a break.

In this episode of HALO Talks, host Pete Moore sits down with long-time friend and industry veteran Tom Muller, owner of Elevate Fitness in Syracuse, NY. With roots that stretch back to the Gold's Gym days, Tom shares his journey through decades of shifting trends, club expansions, and the pivotal decision to rebrand and tech-enable his business for the modern member experience. From innovative fitness programming and thriving tennis and swim programs to the impact of major local investments like Micron and Amazon, Tom reveals the strategies that have kept Elevate thriving in a stable, but fiercely competitive market. Tom has always focused on building strong programming for his clubs. Under his guidance, both locations have developed powerful personal training programs and dynamic group exercise offerings. Group X classes, including yoga and Pilates, are a highlight, and Tom even launched a dedicated Pilates studio for reformer sessions. As fitness trends changed, he also transitioned away from spinning classes, transforming that area into a personal training studio and expanding turf areas. Whether you're a fitness entrepreneur, club owner, or just passionate about the HALO sector, you'll find plenty of actionable insights in what Tom has gone through. Stay tuned for a deep dive into leadership, community, and the evolving future of fitness in Upstate New York! Regarding keeping clubs relevant Muller states, "I think we've done a decent job of keeping our capex up, staying relevant, and having the clubs new. I mean they're built in the 70's! And I don't think when you walked in you probably didn't think you were going back in the 70's." Key themes discussed Club evolution and facility repurposing. Strength training's resurgence in fitness trends. Member-focused tech and software upgrades. Layered memberships and revenue strategies. Impact of local economic developments (Micron, Amazon.) Tennis and swim programming excellence. Real estate ownership and long-term club investment. A Few Key Takeaways: 1. Club Evolution & Adaptability: Tom shares his story from Gold's Gym to Elevate and explains how adapting the club's facilities (converting tennis and racquetball courts to new amenities, etc) has been key to staying current with industry trends and maintaining relevance in the community. 2. Focus on Programming & Membership Layers: A strong emphasis is placed on diverse programming: Personal training, Group X classes, Pilates, yoga, and more. Tom also highlights the move to layered memberships, allowing for upselling and greater value for members, especially through services like recovery centers. 3. Leveraging Technology: Switching to an integrated platform like Zenoti streamlined operations, combined all member-facing tech under one roof, and has allowed Tom and his team to better track member behavior, manage layered memberships, offer targeted promotions, and drive revenue more efficiently. 4. Real Estate Ownership as a Strategic Advantage: Owning the club real estate provides flexibility for ongoing capital improvements. Muller underscores how continuous investment in capex helps keep the clubs up-to-date and competitive, especially crucial in a stable but slowly evolving market like Syracuse. 5: Strength in Tennis, Swimming, and Community Roots: Tom mentioned that tennis and swim programming are extremely stable parts of the business, with strong staff and high-quality instruction leading to waiting lists despite competition. Tom's approach is to "grow where you're planted," mastering the local market and building deep community ties rather than spreading too thin or constantly pursuing greener pastures.

There comes a time in every gamer's life when they have to reconcile that their favorite IP is immutably changed for the worse and it'll never be able to return to the pinnacle of greatness it once held in the social zeitgeist of the gaming world. This is true for Sonic, Metal Gear Solid, Need for Speed (who are we kidding NFS was probably never great) and now most importantly Halo.In this episode, Will and I provide a full review of the Halo Infinite Co-Op campaign and are ready to share the good, the bad and the ugly - and let me tell you there's a whole lot of of the latter. WARNING: We're not discussing the multiplayer other than to say we enjoyed our time in 2021. Will and I are ready to let go of Master Chief and let him ride off into the sunset.

In one of our most absolutely jam-packed Monthly Stuff installments to date, we live up to our moniker with a long discussion of teaching stories and curriculum planning (but it's fun, we promise) before moving on to talk about the avalanche of games we've playing recently, including Ghost of Yōtei, Pokémon Legends Z-A, Hades II, Super Robot Wars Y, and the Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake. Before all that, we discuss some recent news, including updates on Doctor Who, Halo, and One Piece, and we end the show with perhaps our best Monthly Ten segment to date, in which Sean Chapman, who had never listened to a Taylor Swift song before this month, imagines 10 future Taylor Swift songs based on dark and upsetting plot points in William Shakespeare plays.

An old piece of games industry lore has recently reemerged, and it has people wondering about a tantalizing what-if. Back in 1999, The Matrix hit theaters, and the co-creators of the film happened to have been huge fans of Hideo Kojima, himself a year removed from the launch of Metal Gear Solid. And, as was reported at the time, there was potential that Konami would allow Kojima to pursue a licensed Matrix game post-MGS. A lot of new information has since emerged about what did and didn't happen here, and it makes for a great conversation starter. So let's lean into it, shall we? Our conclusion: Perhaps Kojima doing MGS2 instead of a Matrix game means he likely dodged a bullet (pardon the pun). Other news this week includes some quiet updates seemingly being made to PlayStation Portal's functionality, leaks from Bluepoint's cancelled God of War game, the most recent China Hero Project title in the form of Loulan: The Cursed Sand, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Following Freedom Wars, Patapon, and Everybody's Golf, what should Sony's and Bandai Namco's next collaborative re-release be? Do PC players have any reason to invest in the modern PlayStation ecosystem? Will the culture war consume Naughty Dog's Intergalactic? Does Colin type so fast that his keyboard smokes?
