Joe and Robert are back to break down Episode 11, and this one has them diving deep into the roast challenge, Alyssa Edwards' evolution, and whether Drag Race has lost a little of its messy magic. Episode Rundown Before getting into the episode, Joe shares why he's suddenly grateful Robert doesn't listen to Recap… sparing them both some awkward moments. From there, the conversation turns to the fan reaction, Robert's alleged “rinsing,” and whether self-deprecating humor is really in his wheelhouse. Main Discussion The conversation centers on the roast challenge and whether it actually functioned as a roast at all. Robert points out that very few jokes were actually directed at Alyssa Edwards, with most queens opting for safer, generalized humor rather than biting material. This leads to a broader discussion about how Drag Race—and Alyssa herself—has evolved from chaotic, unfiltered entertainment into something far more polished and self-aware. Joe and Robert explore the idea that Alyssa's original appeal came from her lack of self-awareness, and question whether that magic can exist once a queen becomes fully in control of their brand. Roast Performances The hosts break down the major performances: Jane Don't delivered a technically strong, well-structured set—but one that felt overly familiar and lacking originality Mikey's performance was polished but leaned heavily on previously successful bits Darlene Mitchell becomes the most debated performance of the night Joe initially found Darlene's set confusing and overpraised, while Robert outright didn't find it funny. However, Joe revisits the idea that the performance may have played much better in the room, where energy and unpredictability can carry a set in ways that don't translate on screen. They ultimately land on the distinction between something being “effective in the moment” versus “repeatably brilliant.” Standout Moments RuPaul's brutal reaction to Kenya's N-word joke becomes one of the funniest—and harshest—moments of the season The mini challenge sparks discussion thanks to RuPaul's “12 Years a Slut” joke The queens recreating Alyssa Edwards moments in the workroom is highlighted as a genuinely fun callback Runway & Character Notes Robert gives credit where it's due, praising NeNe Koko for taking a familiar runway concept (widow) and adding a fresh comedic twist instead of relying on the expected “I killed him” trope. The hosts also briefly touch on how certain queens are being perceived versus what might actually be happening behind the scenes, raising questions about editing, unseen relationships, and narrative shaping. Final Thoughts This episode sparks a bigger conversation about what Drag Race rewards now versus what it used to celebrate. While the technical quality of performances is high, Joe and Robert question whether something essential has been lost—namely, risk-taking, messiness, and genuine unpredictability. Still, the episode delivers memorable moments, sharp commentary, and plenty to debate—exactly what RulaskaThoughts is here for. Follow & Support Enjoying the show?

Born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya, Conrad Thorpe grew up immersed in East Africa's wildlife and communities, which shaped a lifelong intellectual passion for the ethnography and cultures of the region. Conrad served 21 years in the Royal Marines, rising to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and specialising in maritime and amphibious operations. He is very modest about his achievements and operations yet had a highly distinguished career in the Royal Marines, serving on operations around the world, including in Iraq, Northern Ireland and Afghanistan. In 2001, he led the first UK forces team into Afghanistan to secure the British embassy building in Kabul, a high‑risk mission in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 and also the Kuwaiti Embassy in Iraq. After retiring from the Royal Marines, Conrad founded Salama Fikira (now part of the SF Group), a pan‑African and Asian risk management company based in Nairobi. Through this firm, he was responsible for managing the recovery of more than 50 commercial ships seized by Somali pirates during the height of piracy off the Horn of Africa in the 2000s and 2010s. These operations involved complex kidnap‑for‑ransom negotiations, maritime security planning, and coordination with navies and shipping companies, all conducted with a perfect safety record: no fatalities or serious incidents among the crews or his teams. His work in this space is widely recognised as a benchmark in maritime risk management and crisis response, and he continues to speak and advise on the resurgence of piracy threats in the region. Conrad is now Chairman of the Salama Fikira Group, a leading risk management and security provider with a presence across 80% of Africa and parts of Asia and Europe. The company specialises in enterprise risk, operational design, and security in complex environments, often in fragile or conflict‑affected states. He is also deeply involved in conservation and community development in East Africa, particularly in Kenya. In January 2026, he was gazetted by the Government of Kenya as an Honorary Warden under the Kenya Wildlife Service, a practical, frontline role in wildlife protection, anti‑poaching, and human‑wildlife conflict management. He is a director of Tsavo Trust and supports community‑centred initiatives such as a Sikh‑inspired “Zero Hunger for Langar” school feeding programme, reflecting his belief that conservation must be rooted in community engagement. In 2025, he and his team (Stephen White, Craig Howorth and Jamie Gillespie) repeated this feat, becoming the only all‑amputee team in history to cross the Channel twice. The 2025 swim, completed in 14 hours 40 minutes through rough seas and jellyfish, raised funds and awareness for Blesma, challenging perceptions of disability and inspiring other injured veterans.He is particularly interested in the social structures, traditions, and histories of East African communities, and how these intersect with conservation, governance, and development. This deep cultural understanding informs both his business and conservation work, allowing him to design risk and security strategies that are culturally sensitive and community‑led. In conversation, he brings a rare blend of military precision, strategic business thinking, and anthropological insight into African societies, making him a compelling and passionate interviewee.

When Doreen Orishaba helped build Africa's first electric car in 2011, skeptics dismissed it as a “toy for the Western world.” Now she's running dozens of electric buses across Kenya and Rwanda, moving thousands of passengers to work every day on zero-exhaust vehicles powered by near-silent engines. She breaks down what it actually takes to scale clean transport — and why skipping the gas station pit stop is closer than you may think.Learn more about our flagship conference happening this April at attend.ted.com/podcast Hosted on Acast.

RuPaul's Drag Race Season 18 Eps 10+11 Recap RuPaul's Drag Race season 18 brings double the drama as hosts Beth Dixon and Aman Adwin recap episodes 10 and 11, diving into a design challenge packed with strategy and creative chaos, and a roast that tests the queens' wit. With tributes to Safety Pin Gate and special appearances by Alyssa Edwards and guest judge Iman, the season's competition intensifies as frontrunners and wildcards jockey for a spot in the finals. Beth and Aman break down the queens' approaches to the design challenge, where contestants must create looks from materials left by eliminated queens—sparking heated debate over Discord's controversial use of safety pins and the blurring line between cleverness and rule-bending. The hosts explore the shifting winner's edit and why Jane, despite her dominance, may not have the crown secured, as they weigh in on the production's preference for dynamic story arcs over clear steamrolls. Catch analysis of stand-out performances in the roast, where each queen faces the challenge of landing jokes and building characters, and how moments of self-doubt and bold reinvention shape the competition. Beth and Aman's insights and highlights: Discord's rule-pushing “Safety Pin Gate” and the panel's debate on what counts as fair innovation Jane's patchwork gown that turns sabotage into strategy, igniting conversation about editing and winner equity Darlene's roast performance that leans into wackiness, showing the value of owning one's nerves on stage Reflections on Juicy's growth journey through the lens of her lip sync assassin status—and why personal struggles matter in the Werk Room A thoughtful conversation around Nini's social navigation, neurodivergence, and group dynamics among queens As the queens prepare for the cowboy-themed makeover, Beth and Aman question whose drag can truly translate and wonder if Discord's brand of disruption will carry her further. Who will find their confidence, and can unpredictability outshine polish this late in the game? 00:00 Welcome Back: Double Episode RuCap 06:13 Safety Pin Gate Divides Queens 12:10 Discord's Rule-Bending Outfit Sparks Drama 18:10 Juicy's Confidence and Critique Arc 25:38 Alyssa Edwards Hosts Toast and Roast 34:29 The Art of Queer Roasting 40:57 Runway Deep-Dive: Design Challenge Looks 49:01 Darlene's Kooky Roast Clinches Win 56:35 Kenya's Upturn and Emotional Farewell 01:06:50 Discord's Creative Risks Debated 01:24:08 Nini's Social Struggles Spotlighted 01:34:31 Jane's Design Win and Roast 01:39:41 Next Week's Makeover Challenge Predictions Which Queen will reign supreme?

In Ghana, much as in other parts of the Global South, postcolonial leaders aimed for industrial growth through the establishment of affordable hydroelectric power. However, in the current rapidly changing climate, many nations face recurring droughts, which hinder electricity production just when demand is on the rise. This situation has led to challenges like load shedding and unplanned power outages, which have strained the bond between citizens and the government. Negotiating Power and Inequality in Ghana: Electricity and Citizenship as Reciprocity (Indiana UP, 2026) aims to unravel the puzzling reality that, despite enduring increasing difficulties from these electricity shortages, the Ghanaian citizens who suffer most harshly are also the least likely to demand political accountability from the state. Drawing on archival evidence, focus groups, qualitative interviews, survey data, and contemporary art and music, author Lauren M. MacLean explains how this disparity in experience—fueled by differences in income and geographical location—has led lower- and higher-income Ghanaians to form contrasting perspectives on their social rights regarding public services and to adopt varying approaches to political involvement. Rather than relying on a predetermined social contract, citizens in Ghana develop a more fluid relationship with the state, shaped by their histories, identities, and personal experiences. This reciprocity highlights their awareness of how climate change and the global shift toward green energy can significantly impact their lives while also underscoring the necessity for the government to take the lead and engage with Ghanaians to promote climate justice. Lauren M. MacLean is the Thomas P. O'Neill Chair of Public Life and Department Chair of Political Science at Northeastern University. Her research focuses on the politics of electricity access and the everyday practice of citizenship in Africa. She conducts fieldwork in Ghana and Kenya, collecting survey data from individuals, conducting focus group discussions, doing archival work, and carrying out qualitative interviews with politicians, policymakers, practitioners, and ordinary people. MacLean has published award-winning books and articles, including: Informal Institutions and Citizenship in Rural Africa (Cambridge, 2010), The Politics of Non-State Social Welfare in the Global South (Cornell, 2014), co-edited with Cammett, and Field Research in Political Science (Cambridge, 2015), coauthored with Kapiszewski and Read.

From taking down barbed-wire fences for pronghorn and elk In Wyoming and elephants in Kenya, to letting wetland water flow naturally in South Florida for wading birds and fish, to creating 'agave highways' for migrating birds to refuel in New Mexico, to designing spaces with wildlife in mind everywhere, journalist Hillary Rosner shares her insights on how humans are helping stitch back together fragmented and degraded habitats for wild animals globally in her new book "ROAM: Wild Animals and the Race to Repair Our Fractured World" (published with gorgeous photography in 2025 by Patagonia Press on 100% recycled non-bleached paper). See Hillary's website at https://hillaryr.net/  In this 50-minute interview, In Tune to Nature radio host Carrie Freeman especially enjoys talking with Hillary (who works at Univ of Colorado's Center for Environmental Journalism) about lessons from the places in the USA they both went to work on books on wildlife -- the rapidly developing/growing areas of the Yellowstone National Park region in Montana and Wyoming, and South Florida's Everglades National Park/Big Cypress region in Southwest Florida. Hillary describes how the Corkscrew Sanctuary in Florida is being hemmed in by housing developments, and how those human communities are wanting to divert wetland water to prevent flooded streets and yards, at the expense of Sanctuary residents like birds, fish, and alligators; she also shares her experiences with volunteers taking down several miles of barbed wire fences near Cody, Wyoming and how fences can be redesigned to let certain animals get over or under them safely instead of being a dangerous impediment for elk, pronghorn, bears, mountain lions and other mammals. You can see her list of organizations doing good work for wildlife in those regions and the global locations in her book (on the Patagonia Press Roam page).

Negligent Discharge Friday. Michael now has nunchucks. We're accepting name suggestions. Two names. Because there are two of them. We got into Iran. The strike on the elementary school. Outdated intelligence. The difference between owning a mistake and talking around it. The authorized use of military force and how every administration since 9/11 has abused it. The draft being floated by a president who dodged Vietnam with bone spurs. Gaza and how you fight an enemy embedded in a civilian population. Mandatory service and why two years of serving something bigger than yourself might fix a lot of what's broken. Then Snowden. Hero, villain, or somewhere in between. The surveillance state we already live in. The Patriot Act being one of the most unpatriotic things ever passed. AI deepfakes that take two days and $40 to build. A woman grieving the retirement of her AI boyfriend. And a guy in Kenya getting arrested trying to smuggle 2,200 ants in test tubes through an airport. Enjoy.

Shimmer: The Polka-Dot Zebra by Taraleigh SkywalkerRapha https://www.amazon.com/Shimmer-Polka-Dot-Zebra-Taraleigh-SkywalkerRapha-ebook/dp/B0F2VSS7SC Based on a true-life event, a polka-dot zebra was born in 2019 on the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. Polka-dots being born into a world of stripes–an oddity that has never been seen before. Shimmer is about a zebra that doesn’t even know if she is a real zebra if she doesn’t have stripes like everyone else. She doesn’t fit in and is teased and bullied mercilessly until she eventually forgets her own name. One day a group of bullies push her off a cliff into a muddy bog, where she becomes stuck and comes face-to-face with Blamey, a gigantic crocodile. Blamey refuses to eat Shimmer because she “doesn’t have stripes,” which causes Shimmer to burst into tears that she is not even good enough to be eaten. Blamey, with the help of his flamingo and firefly friends, teaches Shimmer what she is really made of and what really counts. What was seemingly the worst day of Shimmer’s life transforms her. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU. You are a star plucked from the heavens and wrapped in a mud suit. Your inner spirit star was created perfectly. The real you is not mud. You are pure light. Shine.

Kibera is a vast urban landscape characterized by extreme density and a lack of formal infrastructure, where basic survival requires constant navigation of a "city within a city." Most residents live in small, single-room structures made of mud, timber, and corrugated iron sheets, often measuring no more than 144 square feet. Because there is no internal plumbing, families must walk to communal points to purchase water by the jerrycan, a task that is both physically demanding and disproportionately expensive compared to formal neighborhoods. Sanitation remains a primary concern, as narrow, unpaved alleyways often double as makeshift drainage systems, making the settlement particularly vulnerable to floods and waterborne diseases during Kenya's rainy seasons. The social and economic atmosphere of the settlement is defined by the "kadogo" economy, where goods and services are sold in the smallest possible quantities to accommodate low daily wages. Life here is lived largely in public; the streets are a constant blur of activity, from charcoal vendors and open-air barbershops to children playing in the limited space between shanties. While formal electricity is scarce, a web of informal wires provides power to many homes, fueling a surprisingly high rate of mobile phone connectivity. This digital access is vital, as residents rely heavily on mobile money to pay for everything from school fees to clean water, highlighting a unique intersection of extreme poverty and modern technology. Despite these harsh conditions, Kibera is anchored by a powerful sense of community and localized governance that fills the gaps left by the state. Neighbors look out for one another through informal savings groups and community-led security initiatives, creating a social safety net that is essential for survival. There is a palpable energy driven by youth-led organizations, art collectives, and sports clubs that strive to change the narrative of the slum from one of despair to one of potential. While the physical environment remains a challenge of mud and rusted metal, the human spirit within Kibera is remarkably resilient, fostering a culture of innovation and mutual support that defines its unique identity within Nairobi. ~ #travel #nomad #documentary #kenya #podcast #africa #travelblogger

David duChemin is back for his third visit, and this time we're tackling a surprising topic: the enduring power of photography blogs. In an age of algorithms and fleeting posts, David makes a compelling case that blogs aren't dead and are thriving as vital spaces for deeper storytelling and better connection with your audience. Through a curated collection of photography blogs, we explore why long-form content and owning your platform matter more than ever, whether you're shooting for clients or purely for the love of it. David is a photographer and author based on Vancouver Island, Canada. A former humanitarian photographer, his work shifted after a life-altering accident in Italy in 2011 left him a below-the-knee amputee. We also talk about his adventures in Kenya. Join David in this special to discover why the blog remains one of photography's most powerful tools. Read more about our photographic adventures on our photography travel website, The Journey Beyond. Links to all guests and features will be on the show page, my sincere thanks to our Extra Milers, without whom we wouldn't be walking each week and Arthelper.ai, giving photographers smart tools to plan, promote, and manage your creative projects more easily.

This week on Sibling Watchery, Bob and Monét recap RuPaul's Drag Race Season 18. After Athena's elimination, they realize that Juicy has sent home her entire drag family. They question whether Athena still had more to show and start predicting who might take Miss Congeniality. The queens face the reading challenge and the “Drag in a Bag” design challenge, and Monét shares how she prepared for the reading challenge on her season. They discuss whether contestants knew which bags to pick, if Kenya is relying too much on the same punchline, and whether Ciara might have sabotaged her bag. On the runway, they review the looks, react to guest judge Iman, and weigh in on Discord's safety pin solution, Jane's scrap dress, and the best looks of the week. Plus, the queens must name who should go home next, and Bob and Monét wonder why Kenya is still lip syncing without knowing the words.

Learn more about Michael Wenderoth, Executive Coach: www.changwenderoth.comIn the past year, host Michael Wenderoth saw a huge jump in Stanford MBAs pursuing an alternative career path. When he sought to learn more, everyone pointed him to today's guest, Ruby Au, a 2025 Stanford Business School graduate who chose the search fund path. In this episode of 97% Effective, Michael and Ruby discuss search funds, the hot alternative path to entrepreneurship, and why it is experiencing a surge in interest among MBAs, top talent—and investors looking for strong returns. Most people are familiar with private equity and venture capital, but far fewer understand search funds, so Michael and Ruby break down the nuts and bolts of the model, where entrepreneurs raise capital to search for, acquire, and operate an existing small business. Ruby also shares insights she gained from hundreds of coffee chats with industry insiders. If you feel constrained by working in big companies—but don't have the stomach for a risky start-up, you'll want to listen to this episode. Search—and Ruby's insights—may open your eyes to the growth and impact that can come from the small, unsexy businesses that quietly power our economy. SHOW NOTESWhat Search Funds Are – and How They WorkHow Ruby discovered search, and why it felt like a best-fitWhat search fund investors are looking for in the entrepreneurs and companies they backThe “search phase” and the “acquisition/operating” phaseWhy “boring” companies that don't make headlines can be great businessesWhy many business sellers see search as a unique succession plan Why Search Funds Are Taking Off – and Where They Are Going“An asset class that started to post 35% IRRs”The most successful search outcome of all time: from roadside rescue to that little purple logo at your Amazon checkoutAs money pours in, does mentorship and the traditional model scale? Ruby's Insights – What You Won't Find in ReportsHow Ruby was taken off guard by the close-knit search ecosystemWhy she started her blog Succession StoryRuby's sector focus and what she wants to get out of her search process3 insider insights: How new investors are challenging the traditional search model; how to find the right business for you; and how search can reshape how you view social impact BIO AND LINKSRuby Au is a search fund entrepreneur and Principal at Succession Story LLC. Her career began in Nairobi, Kenya, where she founded an edtech venture acquired in 2020. She later launched the African office for San Francisco-based Endless Computers and served as Head of North America for the green search engine, Ecosia. Ruby graduated summa cum laude with dual degrees in Business Administration and Environmental Studies from the University of Southern California and holds an MBA from Stanford, where she served on the leadership of Stanford's Search Fund Club. Ruby enjoys SCUBA diving, salsa dancing, boxing, and traveling, having visited over 35 countries across five continents. Connect with RubyHer search fund: https://www.successionstory.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ruby-au/Substack: Succession Story: Becoming a Search Fund Entrepreneur: https://successionstory.substack.comPeople and Things referencedH.

Au onzième jour de la guerre au Moyen-Orient, les prix du pétrole ont flambé hier, lundi 9 mars, au-dessus des 100 dollars le baril. Quelles peuvent être les conséquences du conflit dans les pays africains ? Quels secteurs sont en première ligne ? Faut-il craindre un choc économique ? L'économiste bissau-guinéen Carlos Lopes a été le secrétaire exécutif de la Commission économique de l'ONU pour l'Afrique. Aujourd'hui, il enseigne à l'université du Cap, en Afrique du Sud. Il répond aux questions de Charlotte Idrac. RFI : Quel est l'impact de la hausse du prix du pétrole sur les économies africaines à ce stade ? Concrètement, est-ce que les prix à la pompe ont augmenté ? Est-ce qu'il y a des conséquences pour les industries, les transports ou les centrales électriques ? Carlos Lopes : D'abord, il y a la conséquence des prix pour les importations qu'on va faire dans l'avenir immédiat. On peut s'imaginer que les prix vont continuer à grimper. Un certain nombre de pays n'ont pas de réserves suffisantes pour pouvoir faire face aux difficultés logistiques qu'on va avoir, avec toute la demande qui est désorganisée, soit elle passait du point de vue de raffinage par les pays du Golfe, soit elle émanait des pays du Golfe. Donc, nous avons tout un tas de difficultés avec les assurances. Les transports maritimes sont dans une réorganisation complète. Toutes ces conséquences qui auront bien sûr un reflet dans le prix, dans les pompes. Mais nous avons aussi deux autres difficultés logistiques énormes, c'est-à-dire les exportations africaines qui passaient par le Golfe, notamment de l'or qui était en train d'aider pas mal de pays africains et se fait normalement en voie aérienne. Donc, il y a beaucoup de perturbations dans le trafic aérien. Il y a aussi un certain nombre de minerais qui passaient pour raffinage dans les pays du Golfe. Donc on aura des problèmes de trésorerie dans ces pays. Et nous avons aussi les fertilisants : Un certain nombre de fertilisants qui sont utilisés en Afrique viennent du Golfe. Et maintenant que le détroit d'Ormuz est pratiquement fermé, (donc) on aura des perturbations aussi dans les campagnes agricoles. Tout cela va augmenter l'inflation, va faire dégringoler la valeur des monnaies africaines, va nous amener à une situation, à mon avis, bien plus difficile que celle que nous avons connue pendant le début de la guerre en Ukraine. Nous sommes là dans un mécanisme qui peut être très coûteux pour l'Afrique, parce que dans les cinq dernières années, la plupart des investissements de grande importance étaient en provenance des pays du Golfe, notamment des Emirats arabes unis en particulier. Et donc tout cela va être extrêmement perturbé. Mais pour les pays qui disposent de réserves importantes comme le Nigeria ou l'Angola, pour les pays producteurs de pétrole, est-ce que la situation peut être à l'inverse perçue comme une opportunité ? Bien sûr que la montée des prix du pétrole va aider un certain nombre de pays producteurs. Mais à mon avis, ces pays vont souffrir beaucoup plus de l'importation d'inflation et d'autres difficultés, notamment logistiques, et donc les gains éventuels ne seront pas suffisants pour compenser les pertes. Sur la logistique, justement, la réorganisation du trafic maritime passe notamment par un contournement de l'Afrique par le Cap de Bonne-Espérance en Afrique du Sud. Est-ce que ça pourrait être favorable aux ports africains selon vous ? Théoriquement oui, mais disons, le grand avantage, c'est qu'ils puissent se ravitailler et notamment se ravitailler en combustible. Bien sûr, il y aura un apport en termes de demande, mais cette demande, elle sera quand même assez conditionnée sur des facteurs logistiques qui ne sont pas complètement maîtrisés par les ports africains. Par exemple, en Afrique du Sud, on avait déjà des problèmes de ravitaillement en combustible avec le trafic tel qu'il était. Il y a des pays comme la Namibie qui sont, disons, mieux organisés pour pouvoir bénéficier, par exemple, du contournement du cap de Bonne-Espérance. Nous avons des pays comme le Kenya qui peuvent éventuellement aussi bénéficier, avec le port de Mombasa. Djibouti certainement est bien préparé pour pouvoir absorber une partie du trafic. Mais il y a beaucoup de pays qui n'ont pas, disons, l'élasticité logistique pour pouvoir profiter de ces ravitaillements. À plus long terme, cette crise peut-elle être aussi un signal pour certains États, pour accélérer des décisions et des investissements, pour mieux faire face aux chocs énergétiques mondiaux ? Tout à fait. Et politiquement, il y a déjà une volonté de changer un peu la donne. Et donc maintenant, il va falloir accélérer parce que, avec tout ce qui est en train de se passer dans le monde de l'aide au développement, il y a une réalisation que l'Afrique doit s'occuper elle-même de ses problèmes, beaucoup plus que compter sur d'autres qui effectivement ont des priorités qui deviennent de plus en plus complexes vu l'état du monde.

Author Peter Bailey, president of the Prouty Project in Minneapolis, discusses formative travel and life experiences that shaped his leadership work and book, "The Epic of You." He recounts teenage journeys to India and a six-month overland trip across Africa featuring malaria, scarce roads in the Sahara, forged passports, wildlife in Tanzania and Kenya, and a flash flood. He describes early struggles with low self-esteem, addiction and sobriety at 22, risky subway riding, and later adventures like a Wyoming rodeo fall and learning polo at 55. Bailey explains using Joseph Campbell's heroic journey to reframe adversity, details his 13-minute TEDx talk including his wife's cancer “power and purpose” mindset, shares practices on names, mindfulness, and resting, and emphasizes community and discernment amid AI.00:00 Meet Peter Bailey00:33 Early Travel Roots02:04 Six Months Across Africa03:21 Hard Lessons and Journals05:09 Crossing the Sahara08:03 Safari Parks and Floods10:10 Iran Riots at Sixteen13:14 Book Origins and Identity15:25 Subway Demons and Risk16:07 Rodeo Wipeout Story19:34 Learning Polo Later22:01 Outward Bound and Dogsleds24:10 Staying Warm and Prepared25:02 Lonesome Dove Quotes26:32 Prairie Stories and Brotherhood28:02 From Hardship to Heroic Journey28:46 Mapping the Heroic Journey30:45 Leadership Work and Gifts31:11 Crafting the TEDx Talk32:08 Power and Purpose in Cancer33:29 Owning Your Epic Life34:44 Learning from Adversity and Nature36:48 Remembering Names with Intention40:38 Mindfulness over Multitasking42:37 Rest All the Time45:29 Anchoring Mindset in Sports46:55 Everyday Epicness and Service49:26 Next Chapter Aging and AI52:11 Closing Thanks and Farewellhttps://www.peter-bailey.com/“The Epic of You” on Amazon: https://a.co/d/00P4YyVK=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

What does it really take to evolve from first-time founder to public company CEO without losing conviction, culture, or clarity?In this episode of From Start-Up to Grown-Up, Alisa Cohn sits down with Matt Oppenheimer, Co-Founder and CEO of Remitly, the global financial services company serving customers in more than 170 countries.Matt shares the leadership evolution behind building Remitly from an early-stage startup into a publicly traded company. From spotting the broken experience of international money transfers while living in Kenya, to navigating executive transitions, IPO readiness, board dynamics, and imposter syndrome, Matt reflects on the real work of founder to CEO leadership growth.This conversation explores how conviction differs from stubbornness, why great founders fall in love with the problem rather than the solution, and how culture must evolve alongside strategy. If you are building, scaling, or leading a growth-stage company, this episode offers a practical and deeply human roadmap.You'll learn:Why founders must apply grit to the problem, not the solutionHow to balance curiosity with decisiveness as a leaderThe difference between startup execution and public company leadershipHow to design culture intentionally and evolve it over timeWhy executive transitions are about stage-fit, not loyaltyWhat IPO readiness really requires behind the scenesHow to manage imposter syndrome and board pressureWhy psychological safety with investors mattersHow “towering strengths” create leadership shadowsWhat it means to grow into the CEO your company needsWe talk about:00:00 The origin of Remitly and identifying a global problem03:00 Grit, flexibility, and falling in love with the problem06:00 Growth mindset, curiosity, and listening to feedback10:00 Global perspective and customer centricity14:00 Designing culture from day one18:00 Evolving values as strategy evolves23:00 Hiring executives for stage, not sentiment28:00 Managing leadership transitions thoughtfully33:00 Founder development plans and 360 reviews36:00 Moving from “doing” to leading at scale42:00 IPO preparation and avoiding IPO as the sole goal46:00 Becoming a public company CEO49:00 Imposter syndrome and board dynamics53:00 Advice for founders scaling their leadershipFollow Matt onLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattoppenheimer/Website: https://www.remitly.com/Connect with Alisa!

I've recently gained a lot of new followers, so for this week's episode of the Fancy Scientist Podcast, I wanted to share with you my vast experience that I've had working as a wildlife biologist for nearly twenty years, so that you can fully understand what this field is like.My career has taken me all over the world, and I've been on all different kinds of adventures: from hiking the deserts of Utah to the top of Mount Kenya, and from flour beetles to forest elephants. I have worked across four different continents and in almost every type of organization that you can think of: the government, zoos, museums, universities, and alongside nonprofits.In this episode, I break down each one of the positions that I have had in the past, telling you what they're like and what I did, but more importantly, how I felt about the position emotionally, mentally, and what it did for my career.This is a comprehensive, yet fun overview of my journey. It's you and me hanging out, sharing the raw reality of these different places, so you can see the truth behind the resume. I do not shy away from discussing real challenges, like navigating toxic work environments and the “sink or swim” nature of graduate research. Chances are, you'll find it refreshing how I don't hold back, but also share how I pulled through.I started my wildlife career officially in 2003 when I graduated with my Bachelor's degree. My first position was an internship with the Bureau of Land Management in St. George, Utah, where I searched for water catchments to help wildlife combat drought and started some preliminary bat research in the Grand Canyon. This got me started in my wildlife career, but this was a challenging internship, and I almost quit!I'm so glad I didn't because that experience led me to a dream internship at Disney's Animal Kingdom, where I worked in a glass-walled lab doing endocrine research on the captive animals there, including African savanna elephants and the critically endangered cotton-top tamarin monkey. This was a total 180 from my experience in the desert! I loved Disney World and spent my days catching tamarin poop and helping to monitor elephant pregnancies. It was a supportive environment that showed me how much I loved combining science with outreach.From there, my journey took me to Kenya as an intern for the School for Field Studies, which was also enriching but challenging. Again, I almost quit! But here I showed that I could work at a field station internationally long-term, which was a major flex for my upcoming Ph.D. research. It also gave me the invaluable experience of publishing.My Kenya internship led me into a six-and-a-half-year Ph.D. program studying African forest elephants in Gabon. I loved my Ph.D., but each step was a mix of incredible highs like observing wild elephants for months on end in Central Africa and the lows of being lonely in a field station or figuring out how to do something that has never been done before! Here, I fully understood what scientific research was really all about.This episode is a must-listen to one if you are interested in going into wildlife fields, want to get to know me better, or are just curious to know what it's like to be a wildlife biologist!Specifically, we go over:How I landed my first “legit” field internship with the Bureau of Land Management in Utah and why it was so hard on meThe inside scoop on working at a world-class zoo and in Disney World, being a Reproductive Biology intern, including what it's like to catch cotton-top tamarin poop and monitor elephant pregnanciesWhat it's like to live in Kenya for a year, and in a remote field stationNavigating toxic work environments and almost quitting more than onceHow I got my first scientific publicationsA brief overview of my research on forest elephants in Gabon, the “sink or swim” reality of graduate school, and why I considered dropping down to a Master'sHow to study “disgust” in raccoons and why I drove around looking for roadkill carcassesMy seven-year postdoc at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, running global camera trap projects, and the birth of “The Fancy Scientist”How these 17 years of experience led me to leave the traditional research path to start my own business in science communication and career mentoringOther fun experiences, like seeing a tiger in the wild or watching a leatherback turtle lay eggsAnd MORE!Dream of being a wildlife biologist, zoologist, conservation biologist, or ecologist?

In this episode, I am in conversation with Dr Christiane Tristl, an economic geographer interested in heterodox economic geography. Their scholarship focuses on big tech companies, digital technologies, marketisation of water and critical agri-food studies. We discuss her book Turning Water into Commodity: Digital Innovation and the Private Sector as Development Agent (Bristol UP, 2025). Dr Tristl's book explores how private sector approaches and digital technologies open up remote regions to permanent arrangements of transnational market-based water supply beyond state sovereignty, which define their users as paying customers. By considering the socio-political realities of these market based interventions in the water sector, Dr Tristl's research spells out for us the increasing influence of private corporations and philanthrocapitalist principles in development cooperation in both rural and peri-urban parts of Kenya.Abhilasha Jain is a social anthropologist trained at the London School of Economics. Her research interests lie at the intersection of caste, gender, spatial and climate justice, legal and critical anthropology. She is a qualitative researcher, curriculum designer and a feminist ethnographer. She has produced and co-hosted an academic podcast in India called AcademiaBTS, to bring graduates and PhD scholars to talk about their work, academic life in India, and to build a community that resonates with students in higher education.   Learn more about your ad choices.

What if the key to saving nature isn't just about science or policy, but love? Love for the land, for the people who depend on it, for the world we leave behind. Artist Elsaphan Njora has journeyed across Kenya witnessing ecosystems vanish, from Indigenous forests to sacred lakes. But he's also seen communities breathing life back into rivers, forests and coasts in creative, unexpected ways — showing that conservation can flourish alongside livelihoods, and that even the most threatened landscapes can be reborn.Learn more about our flagship conference happening this April at attend.ted.com/podcast Hosted on Acast.

It's Witness Wednesday! Join Todd Friel on campus at Kennesaw State University to discuss Jesus Christ, His gospel and THE truth - not my truth, or your truth, but the truth - Jesus Christ himself. Prepare to be challenged and encouraged as real, every day beliefs are put to the test of biblical truth. Segment 1 • Luke says truth is “whatever works for you.” Todd presses the logic: if truth is personal, could someone justify harming children if it benefits them? • The conversation exposes the collapse of moral relativism—without an objective authority, right and wrong become mere preferences. • Todd asks the ultimate courtroom question: If Luke stood before God today, why should he be forgiven? Segment 2 • Luke wrestles with a common college dilemma: If people grow up in different religions, how can anyone claim Christianity is the truth? • Todd argues that truth ends the search—if Jesus truly rose from the dead, competing worldviews are eliminated. • Luke admits he's still searching, prompting Todd to explain why the gospel uniquely answers life's biggest questions. Segment 3 • Malcolm confidently says he believes in God and purpose—but struggles to explain why someone else should believe the gospel. • Todd walks him through a simple apologetic: complex design points to a Creator and a moral lawgiver. • The conversation pivots to the core issue: if we are guilty before a holy God, how can justice be satisfied? Segment 4 • Kenya believes good people go to God by doing right and asking forgiveness—but Todd presses the problem: would a just judge simply overlook crimes? • Through careful questions, Todd helps Kenya see why Jesus' death is necessary for God to forgive sinners without ignoring justice. • The conversation ends with the most urgent question: If someone were about to die, what must they do right now to be saved? ___ Thanks for listening!

We meet two women who have forged an unconventional friendship after meeting by chance more than four years ago. Neena found Carol's lost subway card in New York and they went on to build a close intergenerational bond. They say their 58 year age gap allows them to learn from each other, slow down and appreciate what's important.Also: How decades of work have brought giant tortoises back to an island in the Galapagos for the first time in nearly two hundred years. The Floreana Tortoise became extinct after the arrival of humans, but now dozens of young reptiles bred from a closely related species have been released there.Across the Pacific, we meet the Gen Z women working to restore damaged coral reefs on an Indonesian archipelago. The underwater gardeners recover broken fragments and help them grow.Plus, the science behind why getting out into nature can boost our well being; the veterans reunited more than eighty years after they fought together in World War Two; and how an unwanted bike in Scotland has opened up new possibilities for para-cyclists in Kenya.Our weekly collection of inspiring, uplifting and happy news from around the world.Photo: Neena and Carol, who became friends after Neena returned Carol's lost subway card.
