Podcasts about Costa Rica

En 1987, Centroamérica llevaba años destrozándose en guerras civiles: Nicaragua, El Salvador y Guatemala sangraban por conflictos que parecían no tener salida. El presidente de Costa Rica, Óscar Arias, propuso algo que sonaba casi ingenuo en medio de tanta violencia: sentar a los cinco presidentes de la región en una misma mesa y hacerlos firmar un compromiso de paz. Lo lograron. El 7 de agosto de 1987, en la ciudad guatemalteca de Esquipulas, los presidentes de Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua y Costa Rica firmaron el acuerdo que llevaría el nombre de Arias. No resolvió todo de inmediato, pero marcó el principio del fin de guerras que llevaban años consumiendo la región. Ese mismo año, Arias recibió el Premio Nobel de la Paz. Costa Rica llegó a esa mesa con una ventaja que pocos recordaban. Había abolido su propio ejército casi cuarenta años antes. No negociaba la paz desde la fuerza, sino desde la convicción de que ya la había elegido primero para sí misma. El Señor Jesús llamó bienaventurados a los que hacen la paz, no a los que solamente la desean. Hacerla cuesta, casi siempre, sentarse con quien parece imposible sentarse. La Biblia dice en Romanos 12:18: "Si es posible, en cuanto dependa de vosotros, estad en paz con todos los hombres". (RV1960).

You found a profound love late and fast, then lost it to distance and duty. Did you try everything, or let fear end it?

Now let's dive in!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1384On This Week's Feedback Friday:At 42, a British dad with a young daughter, you fell hard and fast for an incredible American woman — hours of video calls, a magical weekend in London, whole futures sketched out. Then her dream job landed and her aging parents' pull won out, and she ended it. You cut off all contact. Did fear decide too soon?Your daughter arrived a couple months ago, and so did a familiar problem: your overbearing mother, who kisses the baby after you begged her not to, drops by unannounced, and insists "there are no boundaries." A book finally named the childhood wound behind it. Now how do you set limits that actually stick?You became a committed Christian and joined a tiny, tight-knit church — half of them one family — but the sexual double entendres, lap-sitting, and playful kissing leave you uneasy in a house of worship. Leadership just says show grace. Is this a culture clash, or a sign your values no longer fit?Recommendation of the Week: No Country for Old Men — Jordan rewatched the Coen brothers' Cormac McCarthy adaptation and was floored all over again by their restraint, ambiguity, and mastery. His broader rec is basically the whole Coen catalog, from Fargo to Inside Llewyn Davis. These dudes rarely miss.At 35, single, an embryologist with a shrimp tank and a stable career, you took a trip to Costa Rica and cried on the plane home, never feeling more at home anywhere. Now you're eyeing visas, a possible PhD, a whole new life. Is it too late, or are you just trading comfort for something braver?Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us?

El 15 de septiembre de 1821, Centroamérica entera quedó libre de España. Pero en Costa Rica nadie lo sabía todavía. La provincia siguió funcionando exactamente igual —las mismas autoridades, la misma rutina colonial— porque la noticia viajaba desde Guatemala en el lomo de una mula, y el camino era largo. El mensaje llegó a Cartago hasta el 13 de octubre. Solo entonces los costarricenses se enteraron de que, técnicamente, llevaban casi un mes siendo libres sin haberlo sabido ni vivido como tal. Todavía tardarían dos semanas más en reunirse y firmar su propia acta de adhesión, el 29 de octubre. Algo parecido le ocurre a muchos creyentes con la libertad que Cristo ya ganó en la cruz. El perdón quedó firmado hace dos mil años; la culpa dejó de tener autoridad legal sobre quien está en Cristo. Y sin embargo, hay quienes siguen viviendo bajo el mismo peso de siempre, rindiendo cuentas a un imperio que ya no gobierna, simplemente porque la noticia nunca terminó de llegarles del todo. La libertad firmada en la cruz no cambia nada en una vida hasta que esa vida se entera de que ya es libre. La Biblia dice en 2 Corintios 3:17: "Porque el Señor es el Espíritu; y donde está el Espíritu del Señor, allí hay libertad". (RV1960).

Need any advice or information, message us.Today we're heading to Tamarindo to find out what's really happening in one of Costa Rica's most talked-about beach towns. I'm joined by longtime Tamarindo resident and real estate advisor Lauren Mantey, who I've known for years, to talk about how the town has changed, who's moving there and buying property today, what life is actually like beyond the beach, and whether Tamarindo is becoming too developed or simply evolving into what makes it successful.

In this soulful conversation on The Feminine Frequency, host Amy Natalie connects with facilitator, yoga teacher, and soul sister Lori Myles-Carullo. Together, they dive deep into the magic of stepping out of comfort zones, trusting intuitive nudges, and cultivating a life aligned with spirit.

Ce lundi 14 septembre, les Costaricains célébraient leur fête de l'indépendance. L'évènement a été marqué par les divisions politiques entre le gouvernement, lancé dans une bataille contre le pouvoir judiciaire, et l'opposition, qui craint une dérive autoritaire comme celle observée au Salvador. À Cartago, berceau de l'indépendance du Costa Rica (à une vingtaine de kilomètres de la capitale), deux fêtes de l'indépendance ont eu lieu en parallèle. D'un côté, les célébrations officielles, auxquelles participaient le gouvernement et la présidente Laura Fernandez, au pouvoir depuis mai 2026. Sur scène, la dirigeante conservatrice a une nouvelle fois attaqué le pouvoir judiciaire, qu'elle accuse de freiner la lutte contre l'insécurité. « Je veux lancer un appel au pouvoir judiciaire ce soir. [...] Je ne permettrai pas qu'ils fassent retomber la faute sur mon gouvernement, pour des erreurs qu'ils ont commises et que le peuple costaricain paye de son sang », a-t-elle lancé à la foule.   Crainte de dérive autoritaire Mis à l'écart des cérémonies officielles, interdits d'entrer sur la place principale s'ils portaient des pancartes contestataires, des opposants ont manifesté sous haute surveillance policière dans les rues adjacentes. Certains ont dénoncé un gouvernement « corrompu ». Ils craignent une dérive autoritaire inspirée du modèle du Salvador de Nayib Bukele.   « Nettoyer » le pouvoir judiciaire Élue en mai 2026 sur la promesse de combattre la criminalité, dans un pays où le taux d'homicides a fortement augmenté depuis 2019, Laura Fernandez reprend le discours de son prédécesseur Rodrigo Chaves, devenu ministre des Finances. Peu avant son départ, celui-ci affirmait : « Le plus bel hommage que vous pouvez rendre à la patrie, c'est de nettoyer les institutions de ce pays. Et celle qui reste à nettoyer, c'est le pouvoir judiciaire. » Le gouvernement veut réduire les prérogatives et le budget de la justice, ainsi que modifier les règles de nomination de certains magistrats (afin qu'ils soient nommés par l'assemblée, majoritairement acquise au parti de Laura Fernandez et de Rodrigo Chaves). L'opposition et la rapporteure spéciale de l'ONU pour l'indépendance des juges y voient une menace pour la séparation des pouvoirs.   Insécurité en Haïti : la Caricom appelle la Communauté internationale à tenir ses engagements La Communauté des Caraïbes appelle les pays qui s'étaient engagés à soutenir et participer à la Force de répression des gangs (FRG) à respecter leurs engagements, rapporte Gotson Pierre, éditeur de l'agence Alterpresse. Avant les élections présidentielle et législatives, dont le premier tour a été fixé au 13 décembre 2026, la Caricom estime que la FRG doit avoir le plus de moyens possibles pour contribuer à rétablir la sécurité dans le pays. Dans son rendez-vous hebdomadaire avec RFI, le journaliste haïtien évoque aussi les conditions d'expulsion des Haïtiens renvoyés des États-Unis ces dernières semaines. La fréquence des vols a augmenté depuis la révocation du Statut de protection temporaire (TPS) pour les Haïtiens aux États-Unis, fin juillet 2026. Enfin, Alterpresse rend hommage à Willard Vancol, figure emblématique du milieu associatif et des radios communautaires en Haïti. Il a été retrouvé mort, près de trois semaines après son enlèvement à Ti Boukan, dans la commune de Gressier, au sud de la capitale, Port-au-Prince. Chili : quand des bateaux chinois font pression pour pêcher dans les eaux territoriales La marine nationale chilienne surveille une importante flotte de bateaux chinois située au large de ses côtes, dans les eaux internationales. Ces embarcations pêchent l'encornet géant, un calamar de couleur rougeâtre. Cette espèce, abondante dans cette partie du Pacifique sud, est consommée notamment en Asie et en Europe. La présence de cette grande flotte chinoise face au nord du Chili est récente - elle remonte à l'année dernière (2025) - et elle inquiète les pêcheurs locaux chiliens.

Tyler Ramsey is fresh off the playa — and this time, he experienced Burning Man sober. On this episode of Punk Rock Sober, Tyler sits down with travel expert and Travel With Meaning host Mike Shibel to talk about something people don't always associate with sobriety: having completely wild, unforgettable adventures. From Burning Man and Art Basel to New Orleans, Sequoia National Park, swimming with whale sharks in La Paz, sauna culture in Finland, surf trips in Costa Rica and wellness experiences in Austria, Tyler and Mike explore ways to get the rush, connection and sense of discovery people often think they'll lose when they stop drinking or using. Tyler also gets candid about his past — including appearing on Mike's podcast during a period when he was struggling to stay sober — and why he now believes recovery shouldn't mean sitting on the sidelines of life. Can travel become its own natural high? And when you're stable in sobriety, can you still put yourself in the middle of places like Burning Man and come out stronger? Mike's philosophy is simple: meaningful travel isn't just about where you go. As he puts it, not every journey is measured in miles. Punk Rock Sober is about living fully, taking risks, owning your past and discovering what life can look like without needing substances to make it interesting. The episode explicitly moves from Tyler's high-energy destinations — Burning Man, Art Basel and New Orleans — into Mike's nature/adventure approach to sober travel. Mike also describes nature as a different kind of “high” and talks about creating meaningful, memorable travel experiences. 00:00 Tyler Just Got Back From Burning Man 00:42 Meet Travel Expert Mike Shibel 01:48 Tyler Apologizes for His Past Podcast Appearance 05:07 Tyler Opens Up About Not Being Able to Stay Sober 06:05 Addiction, Regret & the MTV Opportunity 07:37 The Best Wild Experiences to Have Sober 08:27 #1 — Burning Man Sober 10:01 Tyler Was Offered Drugs at Burning Man 11:14 Nature as a Natural High 11:52 The Idea of “Sober Debauchery” 14:12 #2 — Art Basel Miami 18:00 #3 — Mardi Gras & New Orleans 20:03 Why Sobriety Shouldn't Limit Your Life 23:07 Mike's Travel With Meaning Philosophy 25:00 National Parks & Sequoia 30:00 Joshua Tree & Adventure Travel 31:00 Swimming With Whale Sharks 32:00 La Paz & the Sea of Cortez 35:00 Cruises, Alaska & the Galápagos 38:00 Finland: The Sauna Capital of the World 44:00 An Art Sauna in the Finnish Forest 46:00 Travel Traditions & Costa Rica 48:00 Surf Trips as a Natural High 50:00 Surf & Yoga Retreats in Costa Rica 52:00 High-End Travel & Meaningful Experiences 54:00 Festivals Around the World 56:00 Yoga, Hiking & Wellness in Austria 58:00 Exploring the Austrian Alps

Welcome birders to fall migration and a new episode of The Big Year Podcast, with me your congenial host, Robert Baumander.   It's the time of where the phrase, “there's no birding like shore birding” comes to mind.     In fact, I've written a little song to commemorate the Occasion:   There's no birding like shore birding.  There's no birding I know.  Every little sandpiper is amazing.  Every little plover is divine. Nowhere can you can you get that birdy feeling When you are see-ing a Snowy Plover   There's no birders like shore birders They smile at the sea shore Yesterday they told you, you had missed the bird Today you're back to get your Lifer Plover And you're heart's racing for more   Just yesterday down at Turkey Point Beach in Norfolk County, I enjoyed a young, migrating Red Knot, mingling with a Semipalmated Sandpiper and a few Semipalmated Plovers.  Closer to home, we had shorebirds and sandpipers in farmer's fields, especially sod farms and flooded fields.  First up, here in Brant County, was a Short-billed Dowitcher, and over a dozen American Golden Plovers at our local sod farm. Baird's Sandpipers came next, followed by everyone's favorite fall migrant, the Buff-breasted Sandpiper.  The dowitcher was a new county bird, species 248, finally landing me in the top five all time for Brant County in just under six years.  Hey, I like numbers, I like lists and lists of numbers. Anyway, all of us avid birders here in Brant County got our first looks at the buff-breasted last year at this time, and we were lucky enough to get one again this year too.   In fact, I got see it with two of my favorite local birders, Ellen and Jerry Horak.  And wouldn't you know it, the more obsessive half of the couple, Ellen, just happens to be my guest today.  A nice little bit of Serendipity, if you will.  In fact, after a winter trip to Costa Rica, it was Ellen's 601st species of the year.  Again with the numbers. I had a year like that in 2016, when Sue and I went to Panama for a week in January.  That was part of my Birds and Blue Jays Big Year.  That year I was traveling with the Toronto Blue Jays Baseball Club on all their Major League road trips.  It was a true North American Big Year.  We saw 229 species during our week in Panama and I counted 483 in the ABA Area, ending the year with a combined 665 species, and a back that would put me in the hospital just two months later.  In fact I spent three weeks in the hospital, ending my consecutive daily eBird streak at over 800 days when I spent a couple of days in a windowless intensive care unit.  Ellen and Jerry's third consecutive Big Year was a Canada Big Year.  As you know from last season, Ellen and Jerry began with a Brant County Big Year in 2023 counting over 200 species, followed by an Ontario Big Year in 2024, where they finished in first place with over 330 species. If you haven't listened to that episode, go back and catch up, and and you'll be ready for this newest installment.  For 2025 they hit the trifecta, ending up first in Canada with 431 species, joining the exclusive 400 club for Canada.  This is he equivalent of the 700 club,(no not that one), for the ABA Area.  The 400 club includes Neil and Andrea MacLeod, who set the bar with 457 species in 2018. The Sandy Komito of Canada, Bruce Dilabio, the current record holder with 480 species, has topped 400 species four times.  David M Bell who's 435 species ranks him fifth all time for Canada in a single year had has topped 400 twice.  Other members of the 400 club include previous guest Gavin McKinnon, who had back to back 400 plus years, including 425 species last year, only six species behind Ellen and Jerry.  Rounding up the 400 club, we have Rain Saulnier and Jacob Stasso with 406 and Monica Nugent,(405).  Oh, I forgot me!  I had the record for all of one year in 2022 with 458 species.     The newest members of the 400 club, Ellen and Jerry, are also part of the even more exclusive 431club.  Only eight birders have ever topped 430 in a single year, here in the Great White North, with our friend Bruce having done it twice.   Well, enough with number crunching, which is, as you may guessed, is a favorite activity, if not obsession of mine, and on with the show.  

What do concussions, Mexico City, a $2,000 foldable iPhone, midnight margaritas, tanning beds and a robot vacuum catching an alleged cheater have in common?Absolutely nothing.So naturally, we put them together.This three-episode collection of The Rizzuto Show combines some spectacularly unrelated conversations into one giant funny podcast featuring physical trauma, international rock-star adventures, technological betrayal, relationship debates and enough questionable judgment to keep everybody employed for at least one more morning.The chaos begins with a simple question: has anyone on the show ever been knocked out cold?Moon recalls childhood injuries and the 219 stitches he's had in his head and face, along with moments when a hard impact made everything go black. Rafe remembers a helmet-to-helmet football collision that left him seeing lights before collapsing. Lern doesn't think she was ever fully knocked unconscious, although her cousins apparently made a respectable effort when they were kids.Meanwhile, Rizz reveals that his social-media algorithm has correctly identified his primary interests as cooking videos and watching people get absolutely demolished.Personalized technology is beautiful.From there, Moon returns from Mexico City after performing with Goldfinger at Warped Tour. He describes roughly 40,000 people packed in front of their stage, with more than 150,000 tickets sold for the event overall. Mexico City's altitude makes performing an adventure of its own, but Moon comes back raving about the crowd, the people, the food and the sheer size of a city that seemingly never ends.There are chilaquiles. There are frijoles. There's an extremely nice hotel. There are also security precautions involving verified drivers and discussions of kidnapping risks, because apparently touring internationally occasionally requires more preparation than “bring your guitar.”Moon also gets reflective about the wealth disparity he saw and how traveling outside your normal bubble can violently reset your perspective.Then everybody talks airports, TSA rules and the possibility of approved non-ticketed visitors eventually being allowed back through security at select airports. This leads directly into old airport nostalgia, Global Entry complaints, confiscated toiletries and all the other tiny indignities we accept because somebody once decided 3.5 ounces of shampoo represents chaos.Lern then takes us into another terrifying environment:Youth baseball.After attending her best friend's son's game, she reports back on parents blocking views with tents, adults getting way too emotionally invested and one dad loudly criticizing his own kid while the kid is trying to hit.The crew gets into overbearing sports parents, adults attempting to relive their glory days through children, screaming at referees and umpires, and the incredible ability of youth athletics to turn otherwise functional adults into people who believe a 12-year-old's batting average determines the family legacy.And somehow that still isn't the weirdest concert-related story.At an outdoor gig, Lern encounters an audience member who brings their own guitar AND a battery-powered amplifier, sets up in front of the band and simply starts playing along.Not invited.Not hired.Not remotely part of the band.Just spiritually promoted themselves.Honestly, that confidence should be studied.Then another episode brings us the reported foldable Apple iPhone and the greatest civil-rights battle nobody expected: left-handed people versus phone design.The show discusses complaints that the foldable phone's layout is significantly friendlier to right-handed users. Moon's position is compassionate and nuanced:The world is built for right-handed people. Deal with it.Rizz responds by digging into supposed advantages of being left-handed in sports, creativity and other areas, which somehow becomes a discussion of famous lefties, presidents and Professor Lern's historically questionable theories.Her future college course remains undefeated:“Things I Think, But Can't Prove.”Everybody passes.The funny podcast then transforms into a movie-review program nobody requested.Lern and her mom go see Practical Magic 2 dressed as witches and discover they are apparently the only people who received the imaginary costume memo. Fortunately, they have midnight margaritas and commit to the bit.Lern enjoys the movie. Rafe also enjoys it.There is only one important difference.Rafe went alone.Now the crew can't stop imagining one solitary man sitting among groups of mothers and daughters at Practical Magic 2, looking suspicious despite having the extremely innocent explanation that he simply likes Sandra Bullock and wanted the movie to succeed.Moon counters with his own nostalgia fix in Mortal Kombat 2, and suddenly the show has become Siskel & Ebert if Siskel & Ebert spent half the review making fun of each other.More movie talk follows, including horror, sequels and entertainment news, before the show encounters something truly horrifying:Fake Eminem.An AI-generated song presented like a new Eminem track reportedly racks up more than 100,000 YouTube views before being removed. The crew listens and quickly realizes something is missing.Variation.A hook.Actual Eminem.And, most importantly, references to his mom.AI may be coming for everyone's jobs, but apparently Slim Shady remains safe for another afternoon.Then Missouri gives everyone approximately seven minutes of gorgeous weather.Rizz has the family outside. The dogs are playing. Nobody is fighting. Lern starts dreaming about jackets. Sweater weather is coming!Tomorrow's high?99 degrees.Thanks, St. Louis.The conversation immediately gets darker when the show discusses allegations involving secret recordings of unsuspecting people using tanning facilities at an Arnold-area gym. The story summons the imaginary justice system known as Rizland, where the crew begins designing an increasingly elaborate form of Swamp Justice for the accused.Lern proposes public shaming.Rafe adds tanning.Rizz gets disturbingly enthusiastic about the cooking process.Nobody should give these people judicial authority.Ever.Next, Sex Time Fun Facts brings in a relationship dilemma involving a husband who wants to leave a stressful, high-paying career and pursue a calmer life. His wife worries about losing their lifestyle and wonders whether getting his testosterone checked might restore the ambitious “tiger” she married.The room immediately divides over burnout, money, responsibility, marriage and whether this man genuinely needs a healthier life or just discovered mushrooms at Burning Man and now wants to skateboard in Costa Rica.Underneath the jokes, the crew actually gets into the reality that people change during long relationships — and that figuring out how to adapt together may be more important than expecting your spouse to remain exactly who they were when you met.Very mature.Don't worry. It doesn't last.Because now we have a robot vacuum solving infidelity.The show discusses a story from Taiwan involving a husband who reportedly activated a robot vacuum remotely and discovered his wife with another man through the device's camera.Forget lipstick on the collar.The Roomba has evidence.The legal aftermath gets even stranger, but Rafe remains fixated on the true violation: another man allegedly sitting bare-assed on the couch where the husband watches football.Some betrayals simply cut deeper.That launches the crew into a debate over what actually qualifies as cheating.Flirtatious texts?Late-night conversations you hide from your partner?Keeping a dating profile for “validation”?Deleting messages?Saving somebody under a fake name?Talking to another person about problems in your relationship?Everyone draws the line somewhere different, although Moon offers perhaps the most useful conclusion: if you want a genuinely healthy relationship, maybe stop deliberately hanging out directly next to the line.This reasonable advice lasts until the show debates whether a straight married guy could theoretically maintain a Grindr profile exclusively for compliments.We tried.Three episodes. One spectacular pile of nonsense.You've got people getting knocked out, Moon playing for a gigantic Mexico City crowd, airport security, youth-sports parents, an unauthorized audience guitarist, left-handed phone discrimination, witch costumes, midnight margaritas, Mortal Kombat nostalgia, AI Eminem, fake sweater weather, alleged tanning-bed surveillance, marital burnout, relationship boundaries and a robot vacuum that has seen things no household appliance should ever have to see.It's weird news, funny stories, pop culture commentary, St. Louis chaos and exactly the kind of funny podcast where you can start with traumatic brain injuries and somehow end up debating whether your Roomba is legally allowed to testify against your spouse.Technology was a mistake.Vans Warped Tour Mexico CityTSA revives pre-9/11 tradition with gate access for certain travelers without tickets'Practical Magic 2' Box Office: Sequel Fizzles With $28 Million DebutMan charged after police say he secretly recorded people while tanning at Arnold gymFollow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, I reflect on what I'd tell myself 10 years ago about losing everything, rebuilding, and learning that security was never really about what I owned. I also share a story about a local surfer in Costa Rica who offered to teach me after watching me struggle in the water every day. What stayed with me wasn't the surfing—it was the feeling of being seen, believed in, and chosen at 52. Sometimes the thing we need most isn't more confidence. It's someone saying, “I see what you're trying to become. If this episode resonated with you, be sure to follow the podcast, leave a rating, and share it with someone who might need to hear it.

National Hispanic and Latino Heritage Month is the period from September 15 to October 15, where we recognize and celebrate the contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans in the United States, and celebrate the group's rich heritage and diverse cultures. This timeframe encompasses the independence days of several Latin American countries: Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua. It's also an ideal time for us to restate our commitment to providing safe and welcoming schools for all students, regardless of immigration or any other status. We honor Hispanic Heritage Month not just as a seasonal celebration, but as a core component of our daily academic philosophy through our Spanish-English Dual Language and Spanish Literacy Programs. Spanning from preschool through high school, the programs serve more than 3,700 students, immersing them in bilingual instruction and treating the Spanish language and Hispanic traditions as valuable assets that deepen sociocultural competence, cultural pride, and mutual respect. During Hispanic Heritage Month, these dual-language classrooms serve as vibrant hubs where local Latino/a/x families and educators collaborate to share authentic literature, art, and history, culminating in district-wide community events that center student voices and foster genuine belonging. Ultimately, the district elevates Hispanic heritage into a lifelong educational benefit, guiding students toward earning the Oregon State Seal of Biliteracy while instilling a deep appreciation for the rich diversity of our community.We also have a thriving LatinoParent Advisory Council - or PAC - at the district level, and several “paquitos” at the school level to help ensure our Spanish-speaking families can receive information and provide feedback in meaningful ways, and help our district and schools with events and programming that celebrates their cultures and customs. Our schools will be sharing relevant information with students connected to Hispanic and Latina/o/x Heritage over the course of the next several weeks. And families are invited to two upcoming events: Centro Cultural's Binational Health Fair on Saturday, October 3, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Century High School; and HSD's Hispanic Heritage Celebration on Wednesday, October 7, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at Quatama Elementary School. More details to come. Our featured students are recent grads from Glencoe High School. At HSD, we pride ourselves on our Career and College Pathway program that provides students with real-world skills to prepare them for life after high school. Glencoe High School's Construction teacher, Todd Patterson, recently shared this success story: ten of his students who just graduated in June were hired by Ultra Clean Technologies - a local supplier to semiconductor companies - as skilled workers. After talking to a UCT employee last spring and learning they were about to ramp up production, Todd suggested speaking to his seniors, which they did. Many students expressed interest and interviewed within weeks of graduation. “Now they are getting paid well and building some really cool products!” Todd shared. “I think what they took away from my class were employability skills like showing up on time, working hard, and having a good attitude. Also, they were all comfortable using hand tools and power tools, and were skilled with basic measuring practice.” Congratulations and way to go, Glencoe Alums!

This was an explosive episode of Soul Elevation with guest Marston Fries. During their recording—notably, while discussing pineal-gland piezoelectric effects—Kara's electronics suddenly shut down and her computer dropped to 1% battery. This is significant when you understand the energetic nature of reality, and how electronics respond to surges of energy. Marston shares her background rising to VP in her Wall Street career by age 27, then feeling called toward spirituality. After the sudden death of a partner, her psychic and mediumship abilities emerged, leading to telepathic contact with an extraterrestrial "soul family," insights about a control paradigm, and a decision to leave her career, travel, and publicly share her experiences, which led to social fallout and also global support.  She shares about a 10-day ayahuasca master plant dieta in Costa Rica involving a kundalini/DNA activation and later physical ET contact.  Marston explains her work through The Bridging Catalyst, offering sessions and building a consciousness-and-capital bridge to support new-paradigm systems.

Hernán Jiménez estrena Abril en cines de Costa Rica este 10 de septiembre. En esta conversación habla de lo que casi nadie dice en voz alta: que el 99% de los festivales a los que ha enviado sus películas le han dicho que no, que Sundance, Cannes y SXSW nunca han aceptado ninguna, y que hay días en que se pregunta si sus películas simplemente no son lo suficientemente buenas.También hablamos de por qué escribió Abril (empezó en inglés, para Los Ángeles, y se cayó tres veces antes de convertirse en una carta a su mamá), qué cambia y qué no cambia entre un set de Hollywood y uno en Costa Rica, por qué detesta promocionar sus propias películas, YouTube como canal de distribución para el cine independiente, y su consejo para quien quiere hacer cine sin plata: la caballería no va a llegar.

The 1971 Lake Cote UFO photo is often described by UFO researchers as one of the most compelling photographs of an unidentified flying object ever captured. Taken accidentally on September 4, 1971, over Lago de Cote in northern Costa Rica, the image came from an official aerial survey conducted by Costa Rica's National Geographic Institute for a hydroelectric project. Flying at approximately 10,000 feet, the survey aircraft carried a large, high-resolution mapping camera mounted beneath the plane. Cartographer Sergio Loaiza and the crew reported seeing nothing unusual during the flight, but when the film was developed, Frame 300 contained a distinct disc-like object over the landscape. The object was absent from photographs taken immediately before and after, making the mysterious image particularly intriguing.The photograph has remained controversial for more than five decades and has been examined by researchers including Jacques Vallée and Richard Haines, with debate continuing over what the object actually represents. Its importance comes largely from the circumstances under which it was taken: this wasn't a tourist trying to photograph a UFO, but an official mapping mission using professional photographic equipment and film decades before digital manipulation. Renewed interest has followed the release of higher-resolution scans of the original negative and the documentary The Cote Photo, from filmmakers Adam Pillon and Megan Woomer, which revisits the photograph, its history, and testimony from Loaiza. More than 50 years later, the Lake Cote image remains an enduring piece of UFO history—and one photograph that continues to challenge researchers searching for a definitive explanation.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spaced-out-radio--1657874/support.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Queerly Beloved, Wil speaks with Emily Greenway, a former clinical researcher who now works as a burnout and stress coach, energetic reader, and teacher of ritual and energetic mastery. Through Rise to Her and the ROOTED community, Emily blends her research background with archetypal wisdom to help spiritually conscious entrepreneurs and leaders question inherited systems and build lives rooted in their own power.Emily shares her journey from growing up in a working-class Southern Baptist family in rural South Carolina to gradually dismantling the religious, patriarchal, and cultural expectations that shaped her understanding of who she was supposed to be. Through education, travel, spiritual exploration, and embracing her queerness, she learned to recognize when an old structure no longer reflected her truth, it was time to find the courage to let it fall.Together, Wil and Emily explore how desire can become a compass when it's separated from shame, morality, and the pressure to prove our worth. They discuss Emily's concept of the “soul code”: the deeper themes, values, joys, and patterns that continually guide us back toward who we are beneath our conditioning.The conversation also turns toward joy as a form of rebellion. Emily explains that joy doesn't require bypassing pain or ignoring injustice. Instead, being willing to experience grief, pleasure, desire, and the full range of human sensation can help us stay connected to our creativity and power within systems that profit from our disconnection.Together, they explore: Distinguishing authentic desires from desires shaped by capitalism and patriarchy  Releasing shame and rigid ideas of right and wrong  Understanding the difference between core human needs and a personal soul code  Breaking structures that no longer support our truth  Emily's journey through religious deconstruction and queer self-discovery  Why joy and grief belong on the same emotional spectrum  Reclaiming the senses as sources of wisdom and discernment  Working with the Wheel of the Year and nature's cycles  Disentangling our energy from grind culture, urgency, and endless productivity This episode is an invitation to remember that we aren't merely caretakers of the Earth—we are the Earth—and that our joy can help make us burn-proof in a culture determined to burn us out.Connect with EmilyVisit Rise to Her Explore the ROOTED Community Connect with Queerly BelovedWil's Upcoming retreat in Costa Rica- https://www.wil-fullyliving.com/awakened-hearts-nyeWillfully Living Follow Wil on InstagramSupport the show

A Voter's Handbook: Effective Solutions to America's Problems by James P Gray https://www.amazon.com/dp/1637928610 Judgejimgray.com Over the years, special interests and mismanagement have driven the federal and state governments completely off the track. Once prosperous and flourishing, many American states today are insolvent, dysfunctional, and ungovernable. Now, based upon his experiences as a veteran trial court judge, his solid Libertarian principles and his observations on the election process based on his personal involvement, Judge James P. Gray (ret.) presents a number of effective solutions for some of America's most pressing problems. Judge Gray addresses bedrock principles that made America great in the first place and suggests particular changes in our nation's governmental, tax and energy systems. He shows how we would be safer, healthier, better educated and more successful by implementing specific changes in our systems of Criminal Justice, Healthcare, Education and Immigration. The suggestions made by Judge Gray are straightforward and workable. Democracy is a participatory exercise and the best way to turn government around is to heed Judge Gray's Call to Action. This provocative and perceptive book should be required reading for all of our public servants.-JIM DOTI, PRESIDENT, CHAPMAN UNIVERSITY An informed electorate is essential to preserving liberty. Jim Gray's book stands out for its clear and insightful discussion of key issues confronting America. -MANNY KLAUSNER CO-FOUNDING EDITOR, REASON MAGAZINE We must get copies of this book in the hands of our candidates as quickly as possible.-KEVIN TAKENAGA, CHAIRMAN, LIBERTARIAN PARTY OF CALIFORNIA James P. Gray is a retired trial court judge of the Orange County Superior Court, a former federal prosecutor in Los Angeles, criminal defense attorney in the US. Navy JAG Corps, and Peace Corps Volunteer in Costa Rica. He has received a number of prestigious awards and honorary degrees. He presently works as a private mediator and arbitrator in Irvine, California. About the author Judge Jim Gray was a trial court judge in Orange County, California for 25 years, and was awarded the Orange County Bar Association's highest lifetime achievement award. Judge Gray also started what was probably the first drug court in the country within six months of his appointment to the bench, this one addressing alcohol-related offenses. Prior to becoming a judge, Jim Gray was a federal prosecutor in Los Angeles, a criminal defense attorney in the Navy JAG Corps, and a Peace Corps Volunteer in Costa Rica, where he probably should be in the Guinness Book of Records for brushing his teeth in front of more elementary school classes than anyone else in history. Jim also founded Teen Court, which takes real juvenile delinquency cases to 14 different high schools in Orange County, thus helping not only the subjects and their parents focus upon responsible behavior, but similarly helping the high school jurors and members of the audience to do the same thing. "You show me your friends, and I'll show you your future" is one of the lessons demonstrated by Judge Jim Gray. He also founded the "William P. Gray" Chapter of the American Inns of Court, which is a legal professional group that focuses upon ethics and camaraderie in the practice -- which is what his father, Judge William P. Gray, stood for throughout his legal career. Judge Jim is happily married to his wife, Dr. Grace Walker Gray, DPT, DOT, and has four children, Ky (adopted from an orphanage in Vietnam in 1973), William and his wife Carla, Jennifer, and Morgan and his wife Nicole -- and their two children/his grandchildren(!)

Banda Los Sebastianes de Saúl Plata visita La Clave Pop para hablar de Por Salud Mental Deluxe, el álbum que lanza el 10 de septiembre — el Día Mundial para la Prevención del Suicidio — y que representa uno de los proyectos más personales y colaborativos de su trayectoria en el regional mexicano.En esta conversación, Andrés, Choco y Javier explican cómo nació el concepto detrás del EP —y del álbum posterior—: un ciclo que arranca con el despecho de "Al Chile No Sé" junto a Gerardo Coronel — #1 en Monitor Latino México — y cierra con la declaración de amor propio que da nombre al proyecto. También hablan de sus colaboraciones con Julio Preciado y Matisse, de lo que aprendieron de cada uno en el estudio, y de la energía que se respira en sus conciertos cuando el público se permite soltar lo que carga.Pero hay un momento de la entrevista que va más allá de la música: Javier habla abiertamente de su ansiedad, de años cargando ese peso en silencio, y de cómo aprendió a pedir ayuda. Una conversación que no suele darse en el regional mexicano y que, en este episodio, sí ocurre.

Need any advice or information, message us.We talk to Beth O'Brien, owner of Beth Anna & Co, to explore what really makes a real estate development successful beyond beautiful buildings and Instagram-worthy images. We discuss how economic uncertainty is affecting Costa Rica real estate, where developers often get branding and marketing wrong, why the guest experience is at the heart of a strong brand, and how luxury travellers are increasingly prioritising authenticity, privacy, wellness and experiences. Beth also shares her insights into Costa Rica's wellness tourism opportunities, overhyped trends, where she would invest $100,000 in marketing a boutique hotel, and what she would do with $500,000 to invest in Costa Rica.Free 15 min consultation:  https://meetings.hubspot.com/jake806/crconsultContact us: info@investingcostarica.comArenal Ridge:  https://www.arenalridge.com/Beth O'Brien: https://www.bethanneandco.com/

August 27, 2026 This episode launches Everything Co-op's tribute to the 2026 Cooperative Hall of Fame Inductees with a special conversation featuring Margaret Bau, a legendary figure in rural economic development who spent a decades-long career at the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Vernon and Margaret discuss her cooperative journey and the lasting impact of her work to expand cooperative development, strengthen communities, and create economic opportunities across the country.  After discovering the power of cooperatives during her Peace Corps service in Costa Rica, Bau joined the USDA just as its Rural Development program was forming. She started as a state-level cooperative development specialist in Wisconsin, where her unconventional approach expanded the agency's reach far beyond traditional agriculture. Throughout her career, Bau has been a powerhouse of community impact, delivering incredible stats: o Incorporated more than 40 cooperatives. o Trained over 500 cooperative development specialists. o Presented to over 9,000 conference and meeting attendees nationwide. One of her most notable achievements came in 2001, when she helped found Cooperative Care, the first new worker-owned home care cooperative organized in 15 years. Her quiet persistence replication model transformed this single grassroots effort into a massive movement. Today, that model has grown to include 25 worker-owned home care cooperatives across 12 states. Recognized by peers as a "national treasure," Bau has bridged the gap between federal resources and local needs, leaving a lasting legacy across the U.S. and Canadian co-op ecosystems.

Could the Cote Photo be one of the clearest UFO photographs ever captured? We are joined by filmmakers Adam Pillon and Megan Woomer to explore their new documentary, The Cote Photo, investigating the mysterious disc shaped object photographed over Lake Cote, Costa Rica, during an official government aerial mapping mission in 1971. We discuss the photo's government provenance, analysis by Jacques Vallée and Richard Haines, a modern high resolution scan, theories surrounding the object and Lake Cote, and the remarkable story of cartographer Sergio Loaiza. Adam and Megan also share strange synchronicities from making the film and why, more than 50 years later, the Cote Photo remains one of UFO history's most enduring mysteries.

Would you sell your house, go all in on Bitcoin, and move to El Salvador without ever setting foot in the country? Jon Byrne did exactly that. I sat down with the BitTasker founder to hear how a kid from Ireland grew up around the violence of the Troubles era, then apartheid-era Johannesburg, then the Celtic Tiger collapse, and finally took one last look at the fiat world and decided sound money was worth betting everything on.Before selling it all, Jon had to orange pill his partner Roxanne. Every morning they'd sit down for "Coffee with Jon" and talk Bitcoin for an hour or two until the penny dropped. Then one day she told him to sell the house, buy Bitcoin, and go to El Salvador. His advice for couples on the stacking journey comes down to patience, because nobody should get dragged into a low time preference life they haven't chosen for themselves.Then we dig into BitTasker, a KYC-free tasking app built on the Nostr protocol that helps Salvadorans earn Bitcoin instead of just buying it. No middleman ever touches the funds, and earned trust travels with you, because your reputation lives on your keys instead of some company's server.Here's the part that earned my respect: the whole idea started when Jon met a guy in Australia who went from cleaning up dog poop on Airtasker to running a construction company. Instead of rushing to build, Jon spent a full year grinding out odd jobs on that same platform, taking the worst tasks to learn the gig economy from the inside. That's when he knew the same ladder could work even better on a Bitcoin standard, where proof of work applies to people too.If you're thinking about your own move to El Salvador, we cover the boots-on-the-ground details too, from renewing residency barefoot at the beachside immigration office in Punta Roca to the workshops BitTasker runs at the El Zonte community center right here in Bitcoin Beach. Jon's also plugging into the circular economy movement in Costa Rica, Brazil, Ireland, and beyond. If this one has you ready to sell the house and buy Bitcoin, maybe have a few coffees with your spouse first. Then subscribe, share it with a friend who's still stuck in fiat, and drop a comment: would you move to a country you'd never visited?—Bitcoin Beach TeamLearn more about BitTasker:Website: https://bittasker.comX: https://x.com/bittaskerdotcomInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bittaskerTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bittaskerFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BitTaskerdotcomNostr (Primal): https://primal.net/bittaskerYoutube:  @BitTasker Support and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: https://www.twitter.com/BitcoinBeach IG: https://www.instagram.com/bitcoinbeach_sv TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@livefrombitcoinbeach Web: https://www.bitcoinbeach.com STAY AT BITCOIN BEACH: https://www.stayatbitcoinbeach.com/punta-mango-villasBrowse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode:00:00 Intro01:24 How to orange pill your wife before selling everything for Bitcoin01:56 Why people are leaving broken fiat economies for El Salvador06:47 Why Bitcoiners left Australia after the COVID lockdowns09:11 How to stop trading shitcoins and go all in on Bitcoin13:37 Is it safe to move to El Salvador without visiting first?17:23 What is BitTasker and how do you earn Bitcoin in El Salvador?24:26 How BitTasker onboarded 1,000 Salvadorans to earn Bitcoin in 8 months31:45 How to get residency in El Salvador as a Bitcoiner43:45 How does non-custodial Bitcoin escrow work on Lightning?Live From Bitcoin Beach

Esta semana, Diego analiza la crisis que enfrenta el Poder Judicial tras la detención de dos jueces y una agente del OIJ, y plantea por qué las decisiones sobre medidas cautelares, sus resultados y los controles internos necesitan explicaciones mucho más claras para recuperar la confianza ciudadana. Además, repasamos el papelón de los jueces que sospechaban que los vigilaban mientras hablaban debajo de los micrófonos y cámaras del OIJ, el drama alrededor de la indagatoria de Pilar Cisneros y el lapsus de Laura Fernández al llamar “presidente” a Rodrigo Chaves. Costa Rica PuedeDos asociaciones de desarrollo de La Rita de Pococí concretaron una clínica comunal y una cancha multiuso con una inversión conjunta cercana a ₡151,5 millones, aportada principalmente por Dinadeco y complementada con recursos de las propias comunidades. El Banco de Alimentos de Costa Rica recibió durante 2025 más de 3,5 millones de kilos de productos y logró distribuir casi 2,5 millones de kilos de alimentos mediante una red de más de 365 organizaciones sociales. Hoy alcanza a más de 44.000 personas cada mes, incluidas 13.500 niñas y niños, y eso se traduce en alrededor de 500.000 platos de comida mensuales. Un proyecto de la Sede del Pacífico de la UCR llamado Puntarenas 4.0 ya instaló experiencias de realidad aumentada en siete sitios históricos. Usted llega, escanea un código QR con el teléfono y aparecen personajes animados vinculados con cada lugar para contar su historia: desde José León Sánchez en las celdas de San Lucas hasta un antiguo capitán de barco en la Capitanía de Puntarenas.La UNED y el Sinac impulsan la candidatura del Chirripó para convertirse en Geoparque Mundial de la UNESCO. El proyecto ya tiene condición de aspirante y abarcaría más de 105.000 hectáreas, combinando conservación geológica, educación, cultura, turismo sostenible y participación de las comunidades de la zona. Agenda CulturalEste fin de semana el programa RIDE Cultural del Ministerio de Cultura se mueve por Monteverde y Montes de Oro con conciertos, teatro, folclore, talleres, exposiciones, bibliobús y actividades para toda la familia. El Museo de los Niños celebra por adelantado el Día de la Niñez este sábado 5 y domingo 6 con entrada gratuita para menores de 15 años. La temática es Juguemos en la Granja y habrá espectáculos, concursos, talleres, música en vivo, animales de granja y acceso a las más de 46 salas interactivas. El martes 8 ChepeCletas organiza el Safari Nocturno: En Busca del Cuadrante Infinito de San José, una caminata de aproximadamente 1,7 kilómetros por el centro de la capital para descubrir historia, arquitectura y curiosidades que probablemente hemos pasado cien veces sin mirar. La Fundación Pura Vida presentará el domingo 13 de septiembre el PURA VIDA Happy Book, un libro bilingüe e ilustrado que se mete con algo que usamos todos los días pero rara vez nos detenemos a pensar: qué significa “pura vida”, de dónde viene y por qué terminó convirtiéndose casi en una marca país no oficial. 

CAPTION 1916 PERUVIAN AMAZONStrategic Insecurity Sweeps Latin AmericaEvan Ellis observes Latin America faces complex governance crises, organized crime, and rising Chinese influence, as seen in Peru under President Keiko Fujimori, who struggles to tackle illicit logging, mining, and urban gang warfare. In Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega's regime passed reforms extending presidential terms while banning political opposition, further consolidating a non-transparent dictatorship backed by China and Russia. Concurrently, the US has entered a massive, highly risky oil deal in Venezuela with Chevron and the corrupt Rodríguez regime. Finally, Costa Rica battles unprecedented drug-related homicide surges, while Panama continues vital canal defense exercises. (7)

CAPTION: 1905 RUSSO-JAPANESE WAR, PORT ARTHURCONTENTS OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 9-3-2026.Chinese Warships Provoke Japanese DefensesJames Fanell reports Chinese naval operations have expanded significantly closer to Japan's home islands, transiting critical straits near Kyushu to collect intelligence and apply psychological pressure. This aggressive encroachment occurs as Japan targets a record-high defense budget in response to the massive expansion of the Chinese Navy, now the largest globally. Additionally, China has secured control of the South China Sea and is surrounding Taiwan, recently executing oceanographic surveys east of the island to prepare for a potential invasion. Despite these escalating provocations, the US Navy faces severe resource constraints, having decreased to under 300 ships. (1)Tariff Dispute Shatters Canadian TrustMary Anastasia O'Grady examines the full-blown trade war that has erupted between the United States and Canadadue to Donald Trump's mercantilist policies and retaliatory tariffs. Though the Trump administration blames Canada for fentanyl and trade imbalances, the US actually maintains a trade surplus in manufactured goods once natural resource imports like oil are excluded. Canada is resource-rich, supplying crucial assets like hydroelectricity-powered aluminum. Decades of mutual trust have been shattered, leading Canadians to diversify their trade routes. Additionally, Canada faces pressure to increase its defense spending rather than acting as a security free rider. (2)Redefining Value In Higher EducationPaul Glastris presents the Washington Monthly's college rankings, which evaluate higher education institutions based on social mobility, civic engagement, and financial value, offering an alternative to traditional prestige-driven lists. Rather than prioritizing wealth and exclusivity, these metrics highlight schools that recruit and graduate modest-means students with minimal debt. Berea College, which charges zero tuition, and the University of West Alabama, which excels in training in-demand rural teachers, represent top-performing schools that are highly valuable to the 95% of average students. Glastris suggests a federal network system to cover educational costs in exchange for low-tuition policies. (3)Escalating Hybrid Warfare In EuropeAnatol Lieven reports tensions flaring as rumors of discrete diplomatic missions and allegations of Russian hybrid warfare circulate in Europe. The Wall Street Journal reported a secret CIA meeting in Moscow to warn against attacking NATO, while Germany accused Russia of directing an armed drone at Leipzig airport. British cruise missiles striking Russian soil risk triggering severe Russian retaliation, a dangerous escalation that Cold War standards would have deemed insane. Domestically, newly appointed Prime Minister Burnham remains politically constrained, caught between calls for increased military spending and a split public, complicating Britain's international standing. (4)Solar Dynamics Captured By PUNCHCraig DeForest and David Livingston: DeForest details NASA's PUNCH mission, which provides continuous, global 3D imaging of the young solar wind, mapping the hypersonic plasma sweeping across our solar neighborhood. By utilizing four synchronized, deeply baffled satellites, the mission observes extremely faint solar material against the sun's glare, creating artificial eclipses. PUNCH has successfully identified the outer boundary of the solar corona and drastically improved space weather forecasts tenfold, allowing better preparation for power-grid-disrupting geomagnetic storms. With an unlimited budget, DeForest advocates launching a polar-orbiting spacecraft to study the sun's unexplored poles and resolve key magnetic field mysteries. (5)America Shaped By Two ShipsDavid S. Reynolds argues America's cultural identity and historical divisions were forged by two symbolic ships: the Mayflower carrying Puritans seeking religious freedom in 1620, and the White Lion bringing the first enslaved Africans to Virginia in 1619. These events established distinct regional societies: the individualistic, anti-slavery North and the hierarchical, Cavalier-dominated South. Though New England grappled with religious intolerance, figureheads like Samuel Sewall pioneered early abolitionist arguments, while African-born Onesimus saved lives with smallpox inoculation. These foundational differences ultimately evolved into the ideological conflicts of the 19th-century American Civil War. (6)Strategic Insecurity Sweeps Latin AmericaEvan Ellis observes Latin America faces complex governance crises, organized crime, and rising Chinese influence, as seen in Peru under President Keiko Fujimori, who struggles to tackle illicit logging, mining, and urban gang warfare. In Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega's regime passed reforms extending presidential terms while banning political opposition, further consolidating a non-transparent dictatorship backed by China and Russia. Concurrently, the US has entered a massive, highly risky oil deal in Venezuela with Chevron and the corrupt Rodríguez regime. Finally, Costa Rica battles unprecedented drug-related homicide surges, while Panama continues vital canal defense exercises. (7)

Chef Olivia Geisler never planned on becoming a chef. Growing up in Ohio, medicine seemed like the logical path. She studied biology and chemistry with plans for a career in healthcare. But an experience in Costa Rica at seventeen, followed by an opportunity inside Mitchell's Ocean Club, introduced her to a completely different world. The kitchen won. Olivia went all in: culinary school, competition teams, restaurant openings, long days, motherhood and eventually the challenge of becoming Executive Chef of The Pearl in Tampa. Today, The Pearl has been recognized by the Michelin Guide three consecutive years. But Olivia doesn't measure success by plaques, titles or what comes next. For her, it's about the journey. The people who believed in her. The cooks she now gets to mentor. The team beside her. And the relentless pursuit of getting a little better every day. In this episode of Walk-In Talk, Chef Olivia Geisler talks about choosing the kitchen over medicine, traveling to Costa Rica at seventeen, becoming a mother while building a culinary career, opening The Pearl, Michelin recognition, mentorship, leadership and why hospitality has always been about people. "The guide isn't what defines us. It's the journey." — Chef Olivia Geisler Takeaways: She didn't grow up planning to be a chef. Medicine was the expected path, but the kitchen was where she felt alive. Costa Rica at 17 was a pivotal experience. It exposed her to food, culture, travel, risk and independence at a formative age. She is wired for challenge. She repeatedly describes herself as relentless, competitive and energized by discomfort. Her career was built through immersion. Culinary school, full-time work, competitions, volunteering, store openings, mentorship. Mentorship is one of the emotional cores of the episode. People invested in her early, and now she feels responsible for doing the same for younger cooks. Motherhood reshaped her ambition without killing it. She learned there are seasons when family has to come first and seasons when she can go full throttle professionally. Opening The Pearl was one of the hardest things she's done. First Executive Chef role, new concept, new team, opening pressures, construction, hiring, systems, all at once. Michelin recognition matters, but it doesn't define her. She is proud of it, but her identity is not built around awards. Her philosophy is rooted in hospitality. The biggest throughline is people, care, intention and giving others a great experience. Her cooking philosophy is deliberate. Nothing is on the plate by accident, down to the carrots, egg, acid, garnish and texture. Her best line may actually be this: "I'm relentlessly passionate about life." Another excellent line is: "The guide isn't what defines us; it's the journey."   The Companies Helping Shape Hospitality Metro Foodservice Solutions - Commercial-grade storage, transport, and workflow systems that help professional kitchens operate efficiently.

CAPTION: 1910 PLAZA BOLIVAR DE CARACASGeopolitics and Industry in a Changing Latin America 9-2-2026This transcript features a dialogue between John Batchelor and Professor Evan Ellis regarding the shifting political and economic landscape of Latin America. The conversation primarily focuses on Peru's internal struggles, highlighting how systemic corruption, illegal mining, and significant Chinese investment in infrastructure challenge the nation's stability. Moving through the region, they analyze Nicaragua's constitutional reforms that tighten the Ortega regime's grip on power and examine a controversial multi-billion dollar oil deal in Venezuela. The participants also address the dire humanitarian conditions in Cuba and the rising homicide rates in Costa Rica driven by drug trafficking. Ultimately, the source provides a comprehensive overview of how foreign influence and organized crime impact governance across the Western Hemisphere.

In almost any other business on earth, competence is rewarded—but in the modern digital sportsbook ecosystem, being good at your job is treated as a crime. In Episode 5 of Gambling Under The Influence, expose expose the ultimate industry hypocrisy: how multi-billion-dollar corporations spend fortunes on TV ads selling the illusion of winning, while quietly using hidden algorithms to ban anyone who actually does. We pull back the curtain on how trading desks track your Closing Line Value (CLV) to flag you as an "advantage player" and slash your betting limits down to pennies. By systematically purging sharp, analytical bettors, sportsbooks have destroyed the natural checks and balances of the market. We explore how this massive information vacuum allowed social media "clowns" and click-driven influencers to replace true industry experts, creating a modern version of the predatory 1-900 number boiler rooms. In this episode, we cover:The Anatomy of a Limit: How sportsbooks use facial recognition at kiosks and digital CLV tracking to restrict competent players before they even see a profit. The European Takeover: Why modern apps abandoned the legacy Las Vegas model of balancing liability in favor of algorithmic risk aversion. Sleeper Cells & Offshore Havens: How the legal market's refusal to take sharp action forces winning bettors to recruit "Beards" or move their bankrolls to Costa Rica. The Regulatory Ghost Town: Why state gaming commissions refuse to mandate "exception reports," and what happened when the Massachusetts Gaming Commission finally demanded answers from operators. (Special thanks to our Episode 5 guests: Art Manteris, Danny Funt, Tom Barton, and Richard Schuetz).Support the showFollow along on Twitter or Instagram @goodjujubets.goodjujubets.net - All Things Good JuJu

Workplace and leadership surveys show an overwhelming consensus among business leaders regarding the importance of team connection: ·         90% of employers state that fostering a sense of community and connection at work is crucial for business success. ·         71% of executives believe that strong employee engagement—often built through shared goals and team activities—is a core driver of their company's success. ·         47% of executives explicitly invest in employee experience initiatives to improve team collaboration. According to Harvard Business School and workplace satisfaction and engagement surveys, these statistics reinforce an essential reality: human connection, engagement, shared purpose, and collaboration are fundamental ingredients for organizational success. But what happens when those same principles are taken far beyond the traditional workplace—and into the Costa Rican jungle? Jason Westlake is an entrepreneur, adventure travel leader, author of Jungle Whispering, and co-owner of Tierra de Sueños Retreat & Wellness Center in Costa Rica. For 17 years, Jason has guided people toward unforgettable experiences while building a business and lifestyle centered on adventure, connection, courage, and community. The retreat center has hosted more than 267 retreats, supported by a diverse team committed to giving guests an uplifting and memorable experience. Jason's own adventures have taken him far beyond the familiar. From kayaking with killer whales and tracking gorillas in Africa to living deep in the Amazon with Indigenous communities, wrestling anacondas, and coming face-to-face with jaguars, his experiences have reinforced a powerful lesson: some of life's greatest opportunities begin just outside our comfort zones. At Tierra de Sueños, that philosophy extends to the entire guest experience. Nestled in the jungle near Playa Chiquita and Puerto Viejo, the retreat brings together different cultures, languages, locally sourced food, yoga, nature, adventure, and community. Behind it all is a team dedicated to helping visitors experience Costa Rica in an authentic and unforgettable way. In this episode of Let's Have This Conversation, Jason and I explore what happens when business and adventure become partners rather than competitors. We discuss overcoming fear, stepping beyond comfort zones, creating strong teams, building a business that supports the life you actually want to live, embracing cultural experiences, and designing once-in-a-lifetime moments people never forget. How much of the life we want exists just beyond the boundaries we've created for ourselves? And can entrepreneurial success be measured not only by what we build—but by the freedom, connection, adventure, and memories we're able to create along the way? Join us for a conversation about business, adventure, courage, human connection, and what it truly means to build a life on your own terms.   For more information: https://tierradesuenoslodge.com/ Email: jason@jasonwestlakecoach.com Get the Book: https://www.amazon.ca/Jungle-Whispering-Influence-Jason-Westlake-ebook/dp/B01IANR5ZG/ref=sr_1_7?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.2WamUAO73OQ4fMKQyx_3YDKABV0NO3kXVNLOO4KpyZwRDdyRePN_QL3w9w4WQEN3JAu0qf_Gy1Fit6Zli0ByVZgZkhZVSol-xG6D9Tt4x0iprcOV1QPyez_R-TZqel8M.-30SXJQvWeXo_P3i8h8uy1zuhz6mMmlv6Ip9Q-j2PU0&dib_tag=se&qid=1788369657&refinements=p_27%3AJason+Westlake&s=digital-text&sr=1-7&text=Jason+Westlake Learn more about your ad choices.

I've been thinking a lot about my relationship with God. I believe in God. I believe in something greater. But I've realized that believing in God and actually having a relationship with God are two different things for me. In this episode, I get honest about growing up without religion, my complicated history with Christianity, the moments in my life that have felt undeniably spiritual, and why I think I've sometimes avoided a deeper relationship with God. I talk about light and dark, pleasure and addiction, surrender, serendipity, and the idea that our stories may be the place where we see something greater working through us. I also talk about my house burning down, starting over in Costa Rica, the unexpected things that have happened since, and how those experiences have changed the way I see my life and my relationship with God. I share why I've started looking at my story differently and why I think making sense of the painful parts of our lives can help us move from a dark place toward the light. I talk about: ● Why I believe in God but still struggle with my relationship with God. ● Growing up without religion and my complicated relationship with Christianity. ● Why I sometimes felt like I was performing rather than genuinely worshipping. ● The moments in my life that have felt like undeniable “God moments.” ● Why I see light and dark as two different paths we can move toward. ● How pleasure, addiction, and unhealthy choices can pull us toward darkness. ● Why I think serendipity can be a form of light. ● How I've started seeing the events in my life as part of a larger story. ● What my house burning down taught me about surrender and starting over. ● Why I believe our story may be the most valuable thing we ever own. ● How looking back at trauma and painful experiences can help us understand our story. ● Why I'm beginning to wonder if this next chapter of my life is about developing a better relationship with God.

Most of us can name the pattern. The same dynamic with different partners. The same feeling with a mother, a boss, a spouse. What we can't see is why it keeps happening.In front of 110 participants in Costa Rica, Dr. Zach Bush sat down with Raj for a live Love Retrieval. Underneath four decades of stories was a single architecture. The moment he could see it, it dissolved.The body knew firstBefore the first question, a sharp pain arrived in Zach's right shoulder. Stabbing around the clavicle, radiating through his neck. He'd never had it before and hasn't had it since.Then the question came, and he fell into the space. His body knew where they were going before he did.The pain was the doorway.Following the threadRaj moved him back by decades. The first story came from his twenties with startling physical detail: the Colorado air, the wind through his hair, the drive to his girlfriend's house. He wasn't recalling it. He was inside it.He hadn't been able to tell that story in five years. It was compressed too tightly to reach, and it had been disrupting his biology.Then Raj took him to four years old. Two stories surfaced together. Zach realized he wasn't looking at separate memories, but at a complex geometry holding a superstructure of dis-ease in his body.One pattern under everythingThe same felt experience with his mother, through two marriages, into every employee interaction:Nobody sees any value in the love I have to offer.Four very different experiences. One architecture.The pearlWhat made him weep was how small it was.A tiny pearl emitting blue light, exquisite, and the only thing he had. He describes holding it out and saying: This is all I have, and you keep rejecting it.He had offered it to his son, partners, company, grandmother. Every time, the hand went up.The childhood conclusion was simple: What I have is precious to me and worthless to everyone else.Then Raj asked what big Zach would say to four-year-old Zach.The answer was immediate. He knelt beside the boy, put a hand on his back, and said:This is for you.Every story he carried resolved in that sentence.Why the rejection was intelligentThe people who wouldn't take his pearl were the teachers, showing him to keep it. Everyone already holds their own. Everyone has direct access to the source. Nobody needs yours.That's why he's careful with the word trauma. It wasn't a trauma. It was an experience his soul was having, and each one was trying to show him:Don't give it away.What became possibleThe next morning he called his partner and told her he wasn't going to give her his love anymore.Her body relaxed. The whole relationship changed.It wasn't a behavior he practiced or was coached into. It became available when the structure was visible.You can't change a story you're inside of. You can only change one you can see.Also in this conversation• Why fewer than ten compressed emotional memories can shape the dis-ease of an entire life • The crystalline field and the 110 witnesses • Forgiveness that doesn't excuse anyone or release them from responsibility • Why nature stores no human story, and what that means for what we're carrying • The bigger the rejection, the more precious the pearlEXPERIENCE THIS FOR YOURSELFGet started at https://liberate.love/begin?zachThe Love Map is a 45-minute guided conversation from home.

When Genise Fulton became a mom at 19, she assumed some of the life she imagined for herself would have to be put on hold. Years later, she's proving that “later” doesn't mean “never.”Now retired and living in Thailand, Genise is embracing a chapter centered around travel, wellness, fun, and—most importantly—herself. From Mexico, where she obtained permanent residency, to Vietnam, Costa Rica, and now Thailand, she's created a life that looks very different from the one she once thought was possible.In this conversation, we talk about early motherhood, retirement, travel, reinventing yourself, and what happens when you finally give yourself permission to live the life you once thought you missed out on.And there's a little plot twist: Genise and I first met in Bangkok in 2025, only to discover that we had once lived just ten minutes apart in New Jersey. Because apparently, we had to travel halfway around the world to meet.
