「原口元気明かす！浦和レッズ退団・ベールスホット移籍のワケ「引退近いが…」」　　元日本代表MF原口元気は、浦和レッズからFW鈴木武蔵（現横浜FC）の古巣であるベルギー2部KベールスホットVAへ移籍。日本企業による買収報道が飛び交うなか、本人が移籍の理由を明かしている。　原口のベールスホット移籍は5日に複数の現地メディアが報道。日本企業による買収計画に絡んでいる可能性も取りざたされるなか、ベールスホットは8日に同選手の獲得を公式発表。両者は1年契約を結んだが、1年間の契約延長オプションも盛り込まれているという。　『GVA』などベルギー複数メディアの報道によると、原口本人は「ヨーロッパに戻ってこられて嬉しいです。ベールスホットでのデビュー戦を楽しみにしています」と喜びをあらわにすると、自身のキャリアや移籍の理由についてこう語ったという。　「選手としてのキャリアは終わりに差し掛かっていますし、現役引退も近いですが、このチームにとって重要な存在であり続けたいです。このクラブはエネルギーに満ち溢れています。将来、監督としてのキャリアを最大限に活かす上で、多くのことを学べるはずです。一緒に素晴らしいチームを作り上げていきましょう」　監督への転身も見越した上でベールスホットへ移籍したという原口は、日本代表の一員としてFIFAワールドカップ出場の実績を持っているほか、2014年からおよそ10年にわたりドイツでプレー。ヘルタ・ベルリン、デュッセルドルフ、ハノーファー、ウニオン・ベルリン、VfBシュツットガルトと5クラブを渡り歩き、ブンデスリーガで通算173試合、ドイツ2部で通算79試合出場という結果を残していた。　しかし、2024年の浦和復帰後は低調なパフォーマンスに終始。今季ここまでJ1リーグ戦でスタメン出場2試合とベンチ要員であり、途中出場の場合でも精彩を欠くことも。一部の浦和サポーターから再三にわたり批判を浴びていた。

「柏レイソル戦と比較！川崎vsFC東京、DPでアウェイ側のチケット高すぎ？」　　FC東京は9月20日に行われる明治安田J1リーグ第30節で、川崎フロンターレと対戦。敵地「Uvanceとどろきスタジアム by Fujitsu」で多摩川クラシコが開催されるが、FC東京サポーターが入場するアウェイエリアのチケットが高額だと話題に。9月28日に同スタジアムで行われる川崎対柏レイソルのチケット価格が比較対象になっている。　川崎対FC東京のチケットは、すでにJリーグチケットで販売されているが、6日時点でビジターS指定席が大人1名あたり7,600円、ビジターSA指定席が5,400円、ビジターA自由席が4,700円（いずれもアウェイエリア）となっている。これに対して、川崎対柏はビジターS指定席が大人1名あたり5,600円、ビジターSA指定席が3,800円、ビジターA自由席が3,200円と、FC東京戦と比べて安価な価格設定となっている。　川崎がホームゲームでダイナミックプライシング（価格変動制、DP制）を導入していることもあり、多摩川クラシコのチケット価格は川崎対柏と比べて割高に。川崎対柏のアウェイエリアが完売した一方、川崎対FC東京のアウェイエリアのチケットが売れ残っているだけに、高額な価格設定がFC東京サポーターの間で波紋を呼んでいる。　DP制によるチケット販売を巡っては、2020年の新型コロナ感染拡大以降、アビスパ福岡をはじめ日本国内の複数クラブで導入されたが、ファン・サポーターからは「値段が高い」などの声が挙がるなど、DP制に対する反対意見は根深い。　そのDP制によるチケット価格の急騰は一部試合で顕著に。2023シーズンのJ1最終節・札幌対浦和では、浦和在籍歴のある小野伸二氏の引退試合ということもあり、アウェイエリアで1席あたり8000円以上（大人1名）に。異常とも言えるチケットの値段が浦和サポーターからの反発を招いていた。　なお、FC東京は2023シーズンの一部ホームゲームでDP制によるチケット販売を実施していたが、2024シーズンにDP制を導入しないことを発表。1試合を通じた中での販売価格は前売・当日のみの変動となっている。

「広島ジェルマン、現役引退か！湘南戦で決勝弾「最後のタイトル獲得を…」」　　サンフレッチェ広島所属の元フランス代表FWヴァレール・ジェルマンは、今季限りで現役引退する模様。9月7日開催のYBCルヴァンカップ・プライムラウンド準々決勝の第2戦で、湘南ベルマーレから決勝ゴールを挙げているが、ルヴァンカップやJ1リーグが自身のキャリアにおいて最後のタイトルになるかもしれない。　Jリーグの事情に詳しいジャーナリストのリオネル・ピケ氏は、9月2日にジェルマンとの面会を明かしているが、「ジェルマンは最後のタイトル獲得を目指している！？今季限りで引退するフランス人選手は、J1優勝に向けて戦っている」とリポート。同選手との対談内容は近日中に公開されるという。　現在35歳のジェルマンは、かつてASモナコやニース、オリンピック・マルセイユ、モンペリエと、フランス国内クラブでプレー。日本代表DF酒井宏樹（現オークランドFC）やフランス代表FWキリアン・エムバペ（現レアル・マドリード）とともにプレーしており、リーグアンで通算313試合出場61ゴールと実績を積み重ねてきた。　また、2023年夏にモンペリエを退団してマッカーサーへ移籍すると、加入1年目からオーストラリア1部リーグ27試合の出場で12ゴールをマーク。2024/25シーズンも絶対的ストライカ－として活躍していたが、2025年2月9日開催のウェスタン・ユナイテッド戦で、判定を不服として卑猥なジェスチャーで審判を侮辱。2月27日に広島への移籍が決まっている。　AFCチャンピオンズリーグ2（ACL2）準々決勝第1戦で出場資格がないにも関わらず、ピッチに立ったことでも注目を集めたジェルマン。2025シーズンのJ1リーグ戦16試合の出場で1ゴール1アシストと、スーパーサブという立ち位置にあるが、J1・ルヴァンカップのタイトルを獲得してスパイクを脱ぐことになるのだろうか。

「川崎エリソン激白！「論争がない」ブラジルにはない日本の素晴らしさとは」　　川崎フロンターレ所属のブラジル人FWエリソンは、9月7日に行われたYBCルヴァンカップ準々決勝第2戦・浦和レッズ戦で1ゴールをマーク。日本で2シーズン目を過ごす中、母国ブラジルにはない素晴らしさを感じたという。　ブラジル『ge』で7日に掲載されたインタビュー記事によると、エリソンは日本の生活環境や日本人の性格などについて、こう語ったという。　「今、川崎のユニフォームを着て、日本でとても特別な時間を過ごしています。神様のおかげで、AFCチャンピオンズリーグエリートでの戦いのように、素晴らしい試合を積み重ねることができています。（ACLEで）決勝まで勝ち進み、世界的に認められている選手たちと対戦して良い結果を残せたことは、自分にとって大きな価値がありました。ゴールも決められて嬉しいですが、常にその功績をチームメイトと分かち合いたいと思っています。彼らはピッチ内外で本当に自分を助けてくれています」　「日本人の価値観や日本文化をとてもリスペクトしていて、その素晴らしい部分を自分の私生活や仕事にも取り入れています。ブラジルにはない素晴らしさですね。これは自分のキャリアの中で最高の出来事のひとつであり、この努力による成果がこれからも得られると思っています」　そんなエリソンは、2025シーズンのJ1リーグ戦20試合の出場で10ゴールと、川崎にとって必要不可欠な存在に。独特なゴールパフォーマンスでサポーターを魅了しているが、そのパフォーマンスに対する反応でも、ブラジルにはない日本の素晴らしさを感じているという。　「川崎でも、闘牛のゴールパフォーマンスを続けています。雄牛を真似して、ジャンプキックをするあの動きです。日本では神様のおかげで、ブラジルで何度かあったような論争はありません。このパフォーマンスは自分自身の喜びを表現するものです。これからも続けたいと思っています」　日本という新たな環境で、サッカーだけでなく文化的な学びや人とのつながりを得ているエリソン。ブラジルにはない価値を見出した彼の挑戦は、これからもピッチ内外で輝きを増していきそうだ。

After Kyoto moved clear on top of J1 with ten rounds left, Jamie Meikle made a very welcome return to the pod to discuss Sanga's 5-0 romp over Okayama on Saturday, and what's gone so right in his side's remarkable campaign to this point (to 32:07). Then Jonny and Ben round up the rest of the top flight results, beginning with Kashiwa's controversy-tinged home win over Fukuoka, and Kobe edging past Yokohama F.Marinos, before we discuss a couple of game-of-the-season contender goal-fests.

「名古屋、GKピサノの痛いミスで勝ち点3を逃す、サポーターはマテウスの復帰に期待」　　J1の名古屋グランパスが苦しい状況を抜け出せずにいる。8月31日に行われたJ1第28節、ホーム豊田スタジアムでのFC東京戦は1-1の引き分けに終わり、連敗こそ4で止まったものの、6試合連続で白星を挙げられなかった。順位も16位（20位中）で、残留争いの緊張感が再び高まっている。　試合は後半20分に名古屋のDF佐藤瑶大の得点で先制し、スタンドを埋めつくしたサポーターは勝ち点3を確信しかけた。しかし、試合終盤、名古屋のGKピサノ・アレックス幸冬堀尾が、クロスボールを処理し損ねる痛恨のファンブルを犯し、東京に同点ゴールを許した。クリーンシートを目指し、チームが守備に集中していた中でのミスは痛く、2か月ぶりに勝ち点3を積み上げることは出来なかった。　この結果を受け、名古屋ファンの間ではGKのミスを指摘する声も一部あったのも事実だが、それ以上に攻撃の要であるFWマテウス・カストロの復帰を待ち望む声がネット上には噴出する事態となった。　マテウスが戻れば勝ち点を積み上げられる、FWキャスパー・ユンカーと並べば負けなしのジンクスがあるといった期待が寄せられており、岡山戦へのマテウス復帰を願う声が多数見られた。　また、マテウスが復帰するまではMF稲垣祥を中心に戦うしかないという現実的な意見や総力戦の姿勢は崩れていないが、得点力不足が続く中、サポーターの多くが残留への鍵をマテウスの復帰に託しているのは明白なようだ。　この試合で豊田スタジアムは、東京戦を含めた3試合が連続でチケット完売となり、クラブ史上初の記録を打ち立てた。夏の恒例イベント『鯱の大祭典』や夏休み最終日とも重なり、スタンドを埋めた大観衆の声援はチームを後押ししたが、白星で応えることはできなかった。

「鹿島残留熱望も！ターレスが町田戦後・清水戦前に自信「安定している証拠」」　　鹿島アントラーズは天皇杯・準々決勝で町田ゼルビアに敗北。31日の明治安田J1リーグ・清水エスパルス戦ではより一層勝利が求められる中、MFターレス・ブレーネルが対戦相手の印象や自チームの現状に言及。本人は鹿島残留を望んでいるという。　ブラジル『VAVEL』は28日、ターレスの特集記事を掲載しているが、本人は清水戦を前に「我々も清水もゴールを目指して戦い続けるだろう。接戦になるはずだ。我々の守備陣の調子はとても良い。我々はリーグ戦直近4試合で負けていない。これは我々が安定している証拠だが、質の高い選手を擁する清水をリスペクトしている」とコメントしたという。　そのターレスは2025シーズンのJ1リーグ戦で3試合のスタメン出場にとどまっており、リーグ戦直近5試合は出番がない。それでも『VAVEL』で8月15日に掲載されたインタビュー記事によると、本人は「日本に残りたいと思っている」と、Jリーグでのプレーをポジティブに捉えている模様。　「人生で挑戦するときはいつも、勝利をつかむために全力を尽くしている。一番の目標はもちろん鹿島の力になることだけど、個人的にもここ鹿島で自分の歴史を刻みたい」などと、鹿島残留を望んでいることを明かしたというが、現時点では買い取りオプション行使の可能性は報じられていない。　ブラジルの名門フルミネンセの下部組織出身であり、これまでウクライナ、フィンランドを渡り歩いてきたターレス。FCルフ・リヴィウ（ウクライナ）から鹿島へ期限付き移籍中だが、「ウクライナでの戦争は自分のキャリアに影響を与えたが、今は日本のビッグクラブでプレーしているし、まだまだサッカー人生は長いと感じている」と気持ちは前向きだ。

「1枚2万円で出品も！サンフレッチェ広島ホームゲームのチケット転売横行」　　サンフレッチェ広島は先日、チケットの転売行為に関する声明を発表。対戦クラブや選手、サポーターなどを標的とした誹謗中傷投稿でも声明を出すなど、自クラブのファン・サポーターに対する呼びかけが相次ぐ一方、エディオンピースウイング広島で開催されるホームゲームのチケット転売行為が今もなお横行している。　チケット仲介アプリ『チケジャム』では、9月7日開催のYBCルヴァンカップ・湘南ベルマーレ戦や、12日開催のJ1リーグ・京都サンガ戦のチケットが次々と転売。湘南戦ではサポーターシート（ホームゴール裏）が大人1名5,000円で出品されているほか、500円割引チケット（クーポンコード）も複数出品されている。　また、京都戦では50件近くの転売行為が確認。メインスタンド中央のプライムシートが大人1名20,000円で出品されているほか、カテゴリー1で9,500円という高額な値段が付いている。　こうしたチケットの転売行為について、クラブは7月11日に声明を発表。転売の確認がとれた場合の対応について「返金を伴わない当該チケットの無効化のみならず、返金を伴わない会員資格の無効化および強制退会処分、当該チケット購入者が保持する全てのチケット（シーズンチケットを含む）の返金を伴わない無効化措置等を講じてまいります」と警告していた。　また、クラブ公式の『サンフレチケット』では、7月からチケットリセールを実施。「当サービスは正規ルートによるリセールのため、不正転売の心配なく、安心・安全にご利用いただけます」とファン・サポーターに案内している。公式リセールサービスを開始した後も転売行為が後を絶たないだけに、クラブには新たな対応が迫られている。

「川崎vs福岡の清水勇人主審に林陵平氏指摘「熱くなりすぎ」橘田健人にイエロー」　　明治安田J1リーグ第25節の川崎フロンターレ対アビスパ福岡は、8月9日に開催。DFフィリップ・ウレモヴィッチ、DFファン・ウェルメスケルケン・際と、前半終了までに川崎が2選手を退場処分により欠くという珍しい試合展開になったが、後半のとあるシーンを巡り、元Jリーガーの林陵平氏が清水勇人主審の振る舞いに言及している。　川崎は前半15分にウレモヴィッチが退場処分を受けると、前半アディショナルタイムにはウェルメスケルケンが2枚目のイエローカードを貰い退場。2-2で迎えた後半28分にはMF橘田健人が自陣ペナルティエリアでファウルを犯し、PKを献上。勝ち越しを許すと、その後も2点を奪われて敗れた。　試合展開に大きな影響を与えるジャッジが相次ぐなか、VRA（ビデオアシスタントレフェリー）が介入し、清水主審がOFR（オンフィールドレビュー）を実施した後、橘田のファウルがとられて福岡にPKが与えられたシーンでは、同主審が橘田にイエローカードを提示した直後、インターネット動画配信サービス『DAZN』で解説を担当していた林氏は「ちょっと熱くなりすぎちゃうところがあるんですよね、清水さん。ちょっと我慢してほしいですよね。今、早かったですよね。歯向かったら、すぐイエロー出る」と指摘。清水主審に対して冷静さを望むようなコメントがネット上で反響を呼ぶ一方、川崎2選手を退場処分としたジャッジについては適切との見解を示している。　また、主審との判定確認の際に、キャプテン以外の選手による主審への取り囲みなどを防ぐ新競技規則「キャプテンオンリー」が第25節から適用されているが、これに関連して林氏は「だけども、選手からしたらっていう…難しいところですね」とコメントしている。　なお、川崎は福岡戦での黒星により、10勝8分7敗。首位のヴィッセル神戸から勝ち点8差の8位と、上位との差を縮めることはできなかった。一方、福岡は9勝8分8敗で勝ち点35。川崎から勝ち点3差の9位と、直近5試合無敗で勝ち点を積み重ねている。

「元鹿島・浦和監督オズワルド・オリヴェイラが詐欺被害！総額1億円弱」　　元鹿島アントラーズ、浦和レッズ監督のオズワルド・オリヴェイラ氏が、母国ブラジルで詐欺被害に遭い、弁護士を告訴した模様。被害総額は8,000万円以上にのぼるが、ブラジルでは同様の被害が相次いでいるという。　ブラジル『ge』は8月7日に伝えたところによると、オズワルド氏は310万レアル（約8,200万円）を詐取されたとして、同国1部ボタフォゴFRの元幹部で、弁護士でもあるジョアナ・プラド・デ・オリヴェイラ氏を告発。オズワルド氏はかつてコリンチャンス、フルミネンセを相手取った裁判で勝訴しているが、その報酬の受け取りを依頼したジョアナ氏に250万レアル（約6,800万円）を着服されたと主張している。　そのオズワルド氏は2019年9月にブラジル1部フルミネンセの指揮官を解任されて以降、一度も現場に復帰しておらず、5年以上にわたり無所属状態。失業保険により、自身の銀行口座には一定額が振り込まれていたものの、その口座から59万レアル（約1,600万円）が引き出され、ジョアナ氏の口座に送金されていたことが現地当局の捜査により判明している。　この被害を受けて、オズワルド氏は「自分のお金を信頼していた人物から搾取されて、本当に残念。裏切られた。汗水流して稼いだお金を使えないなんて…」などとコメント。ジョアナ氏への怒りをあらわにしているが、元チェルシー所属選手・元ブラジル代表のラミレスをはじめ複数のサッカー関係者も同様の被害に遭っているが、ジョアナ氏は「悪意や被害を与える意図はなかった」と弁明している。　現在74歳のオリヴェイラ氏は、2007年から11年まで鹿島を指揮。内田篤人や岩政大樹らを指導し、J1リーグ3連覇、2度の天皇杯優勝を成し遂げるなど、鹿島に黄金期をもたらした。鹿島退団後はしばらくブラジル国内クラブ等で率いていたが、2018年4月から浦和を指揮。浦和時代は1年目に天皇杯を制したものの、2019シーズンにJ1リーグで2桁順位に低迷。同年5月にクラブを去った。

「原口元気に異例の喝！浦和OB興梠慎三「全然ダメ」スコルジャ監督の采配巡り持論も」　　クラブOBから強烈なダメ出しを食らっている。浦和レッズのアカデミーロールモデルコーチである興梠慎三氏が、同クラブ所属MF原口元気に苦言。8月9日の横浜FC戦を前に、低調なパフォーマンスで再三批判を浴びている元日本代表アタッカーに厳しい目が向けられた。　パートナー営業という肩書きも持つ興梠氏は先日、浦和スポンサーである『三菱自動車』の本社を訪問。『レッズビークル』の公式YouTubeチャンネルでは、8日に興梠氏と三菱自動車の社員によるスペシャルトークの様子が公開されているが、ひとりの女性社員が浦和サポーターになった時から原口のファンであることを公言すると、同氏は「全然ダメだな。アイツいま。本当にもうちょい頑張らないと」「いつも喝を入れています」と辛辣な言葉を発している。　原口はブンデスリーガ所属の複数クラブを渡り歩いたほか、日本代表の一員としてFIFAワールドカップの舞台でプレーするなど、国際舞台での実績は十分。しかし、2025シーズンのJ1リーグ公式戦では途中出場が多い中、低調なパフォーマンスに終始することが多く、以前からSNSで厳しい指摘を受けている。　また、興梠氏は浦和の指揮を執るという仮定を立て、マチェイ・スコルジャ監督の采配に言及。「交代する選手が遅いというのは…批判じゃないすよ、僕が監督ならば、もう少し早く投入するかな。あと、スタメン組を固めているので。それだと、サブ組のモチベーションが保てないというのがあるから、色々な人を試して使う。その日、その週の中でコンディションがいい選手を使うというのは、イメージとしてあります」と持論を展開している。　FIFAクラブワールドカップで3戦全敗という結果に終わり、2025年夏の補強が思うように進んでいない浦和。原口にはシーズン後半戦での挽回が求められるが、その原口に対して厳しいメッセージを伝えた興梠氏が今後、チームにどのような影響を与えるのか注目が集まる。

「元新潟の稲村隼翔の去就は？セルティック監督「レンタルで武者修行に…」」　　日本代表のFW前田大然、MF旗手怜央、FW山田新、そしてDF稲村隼翔が所属するスコティッシュ・プレミアシップのセルティックは、8月4日セルティック・パークで行われるセント・ミレンとのリーグ開幕戦を控える中、左サイドバックの補強について検討を続けているようだ。　そんな中、セルティックの指揮官ブレンダン・ロジャーズ監督は、J1のアルビレックス新潟から今2025年夏にクラブへ加入した左利きの稲村の起用方針について言及。7月に約25万ポンド（約5千万円）で加入した同選手について、プレシーズンでのパフォーマンスを受けて評価していると明かした。　現地2日午後に行われた記者会見でロジャーズ監督は稲村の現状について、「毎日しっかりとチェックしていて、稲村のプレーのいくつかの側面を非常に注意深く確認している」と発言。　また「彼はよくやっているし、今月末までには、今後に向けて適切な決断を下したい」と語った。　その上で、「稲村については最初から、加入後にレンタルで武者修行に出すという計画だった。本人にもそう伝えていた。でも実際に合流してからの適応ぶりは良く、これから数週間の様子を見て判断したい」と慎重な姿勢を示した。　一方で、セルティックからは若手DFミッチェル・ロバートソンが、スコットランド・リーグ1（3部）のインバネス・カレドニアン・シッスルへ今2025/26シーズン終了までの期限付き移籍が発表。　そんな事情もあり、稲村がクラブに残る事になるのか、それともレンタルに出されるのか、今後の同選手の去就に高い注目が集まっている。

「J1新潟の“正式契約前発表”にハンマルビー「驚いた」ブーダ移籍で何が？」　　アルビレックス新潟は7月25日、スウェーデン1部ハンマルビーIF所属のスウェーデン人FWアブデルラフマン・ブーダの移籍加入が内定したと公式発表。「メディカルチェック終了後に正式加入」としているが、ハンマルビーIF幹部は新潟の発表に戸惑いを隠せなかったという。　スウェーデン紙『エクスプレッセン』で7月28日に掲載された記事によると、ハンマルビーIFのミカエル・イェルムベリSD（スポーツディレクター）は新潟がメディカルチェック前の25日にブーダの移籍加入内定を発表したことについて、こう語ったという。　「我々は全てにおいて意見が一致しているが、メディカルチェックには理由があるはずだし、少なくとも我々はそう思っている。でも、選手本人が日本に到着した時に、新潟は公式発表した。これには本当に驚いた。正式に契約を結ぶまで何も分からないからね。我々は辛抱強く待っていたけど。少し奇妙な状況になってしまった」　正式契約前に移籍加入内定を発表した新潟の対応に複雑な思いを抱いているイェルムベリSDだが、「アルジェリアからも関心があったが、最終的には日本（新潟）の方が条件が良かった」と、アフリカ移籍の可能性があったことも明かしたという。　なお、『Sportbladet』は23日の時点で「ブーダのアルビレックス新潟移籍で、関係者全員が合意」と伝えていたが、新潟は同選手の獲得により、移籍金として700万スウェーデン・クローナ（約1億800万円）を支払う見込みだという。27日から新潟のトレーニングに合流しているブーダだが、同クラブの公式発表を巡り、ハンマルビーIF側が不満を抱いていないことを願うばかりだ。

「広島FW中村草太に欧州移籍論！蘭方面から「プロ1年目としては驚異的」」　　サンフレッチェ広島所属の日本代表FW中村草太は、海外移籍の可能性がある逸材として、早くもオランダ方面から熱視線が注がれている。　現在22歳の中村は、前橋育英高校や明治大学を経て、2025年に広島へ加入。プロ1年目の今季は、ここまでJ1リーグ戦23試合の出場で3ゴール6アシストをマークしているほか、AFCチャンピオンズリーグ2でも4ゴール。2025年7月のE-1選手権の香港戦でゴールを決め、鮮烈な日本代表デビューを飾っている。　MF中島洋太朗らとともに広島屈指の有望株として知名度を高めている中村だが、同選手にはオランダメディア『huiskamerscout』のジャーナリストであり、日本サッカーに精通しているヘラルド氏が関心を寄せている。　ヘラルド氏は7月28日、Xで「今季のJリーグで最も注目を集める新星のひとり」と評すると、サッカーサイト『Sofa Score』のデータをもとに「ドリブル面はまだ改善が必要だが、それ以外はプロ1年目としては驚異的な成績だ」と絶賛。「彼のスター性が際立っている。欧州クラブが彼に関心を寄せるまで、そう長くはかからない。（欧州へ）移籍するかもしれない」と、海外移籍論を唱えた。　なお、中村の去就を巡っては、2025年4月の時点で2023/24シーズンのAFCチャンピオンズリーグ覇者であるUAE1部アル・アインからの関心が報じられていたほか、ベルギー『Voetbal』は同国1部シント=トロイデンVV移籍の可能性を伝えていた。

「セレッソ大阪移籍報道も！浦和レッズ井上黎生人のSNS投稿文修正が話題沸騰」　　浦和レッズ所属DF井上黎生人には、セレッソ大阪移籍の可能性が報じられているが、報道前のインスタグラムアカウントにおけるSNS投稿が話題を呼んでいる。　井上は7月29日夜にインスタグラムを更新。MF中島翔哉、GK牲川歩見とのスリーショットをアップした上で、「翔哉さんと牲さんありがとうございました」とコメントを添えている。この投稿文が食事会の開催に対して感謝の言葉と解釈される一方で、一部では中島や井上の移籍を予想する声が一部で挙がっていた。　すると、当該コメントは投稿からおよそ2時間後に「ご馳走様でした！」という文言に修正。修正後に一部でC大阪移籍の可能性が報じられると、井上が食事会で中島や牲川に退団の報告をした可能性が指摘されている。　現在28歳の井上は、2015年に鹿児島実業高校からガイナーレ鳥取へ加入。鳥取で6年間過ごした後、ファジアーノ岡山、京都サンガを経て、2023シーズン終了後に浦和へ移籍。加入1年目はJ1リーグ戦で16試合の出場にとどまると、今季はここまでリーグ戦でわずか2試合の出場。DFマリウス・ホイブラーテンやDFダニーロ・ボザのセンターバックコンビが健在であるだけに、プレータイムを確保できていない。　なお浦和は2025年6月以降の移籍ウィンドウで、FW高橋利樹を清水エスパルスへ完全移籍により放出したほか、FW二田理央やFW長倉幹樹らも期限付き移籍によるクラブを去っている。加入選手がFW小森飛絢、GK松山健太の2選手にとどまっているなか、井上のインスタグラム投稿文修正が何を意味するのか、多くのファン・サポーターが気にしているだろう。

「放出論も！浦和レッズFWチアゴ・サンタナ、福岡戦の最低評価で波紋」　　浦和レッズ所属のブラジル人FWチアゴ・サンタナは、7月27日に行われた明治安田J1リーグのアビスパ福岡戦でスタメン出場。63分までプレーしたが、同選手のスタッツが話題になっている。　互いの決定力を欠き、0-0という結果に終わった一戦。サッカーサイト『Sofa Score』は出場選手を採点しているが、サンタナは両チームのスタメン出場選手で最低点の「6.2」（10点満点）に。63分間のプレーでボールタッチがわずか17回であり、ボールロストは10回。デュエルでは10回中9回敗れている。　低調なパフォーマンスに終始したことがデータに反映されているだけに、試合後にはサンタナに対する批判が噴出。マチェイ・スコルジャ監督に対して、福岡戦で途中出場したFW小森飛絢のスタメン起用を求める声が挙がっているほか、ブラジル人ストライカーの放出論も湧き起こるなど、福岡戦で勝ち点1という結果に終わった原因をサンタナのプレーに求める浦和サポーターは一定数存在するようだ。　来日1年目から2シーズン続けてJ1リーグで2桁ゴールをマークするなど、清水エスパルスで実績を積み重ねてきたサンタナだが、2024年の浦和移籍以降は一転して本来のパフォーマンスを発揮できていない。2025シーズンもJ1リーグ戦で開幕から9試合スタメン出場し3ゴールも、その後はグロインペイン症候群の発症により戦線離脱。5月28日のJ1第22節セレッソ大阪戦で復帰したが、C大阪戦以降はスタメン出場1試合、途中出場4試合で1ゴールにとどまっている。　FIFAクラブワールドカップ・グループステージ第3節のモンテレイ戦で大敗を喫した後、すぐさま元スペイン代表DFセルヒオ・ラモスのもとへ向かい、ユニフォームの交換を求めたことでも注目を浴びたサンタナ。チームがJ1で首位ヴィッセル神戸から勝ち点8差の8位と、逆転優勝の可能性を残しているだけに、一刻も早いパフォーマンスの改善が求められる。

M3gan 2.0 The B1tc# is B@ck is not the tagline for this movie... but it could very easily have been.  After the surprise hit that was the first M3gan, Blumhouse have done what they do best, and that is turn around a moderately budgeted sequel in a surprisingly quick time. Does this make for an excellent film that expands the original property and deepens the lore and background of the character?  No. Does is make for an energetic romp that features not one but two murderous cyborgs with dead, doll-like eyes, doing martial arts and ridiculous stunts?  Possibly. Listen in the full review to get the down low on the download. D10n , Qu1nny and J1ll are all on board for this episode and you better believe they not only have opinions, but a bunch of ways the film could have been SO much better. Synopsis Two years after M3GAN, a marvel of artificial intelligence, went rogue and embarked on a murderous rampage, its creator, Gemma, has become an advocate for government oversight of AI. Unbeknownst to her, a defense contractor has created a military-grade weapon known as Amelia, the ultimate infiltration spy. However, as Emlia's self-awareness increases, it becomes less interested in taking orders. Hoping to stop Emilia, Gemma decides to resurrect M3GAN, making it faster, stronger, and more lethal. https://youtu.be/Aiam4GCb-ug As always, a digitally self aware thank-you to the dolls and action figures who join in with the conversation on the Twitch stream, live each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEDT.

[00:00:09] Diane Bouis: The inventions and technologies are fascinating and so are the people who work with them. [00:00:15] Frank Jaskulke: There was a period of time where I realized, fundamentally, my job was to go hang out with really smart people that are saving lives and then do work that would help them save more lives. [00:00:28] Diane Bouis: I got into the business to save lives and it is incredibly motivating to work with people who are in that same business, saving or improving lives. [00:00:38] Duane Mancini: What better industry than where I get to wake up every day and just save people's lives. [00:00:42] Lindsey Dinneen: These are extraordinary people doing extraordinary work, and this is The Leading Difference. Hello, and welcome back to another episode of The Leading Difference podcast. I'm your host Lindsey, and I am delighted to welcome as my guest today, Maria Artunduaga. Maria is a physician, scientist, and inventor with 60 plus prizes, including becoming the first woman to lead a US LATAM company to win MedTech Innovator, the world's most competitive accelerator for medical technology surpassing over 1300 global companies. A top 1% student in Columbia, her country of birth, she relocated to the US to pursue plastic surgery training, but abandoned it to dedicate herself to solve the problem that killed her grandmother-- a lack of home technologies that can detect COPD exasperations early. Maria has raised 5.2 million, almost 60% in non-dilutive capital from NSF and NIH to build Sylvee, an AI wearable sensor that can provide COPD patients with continuous data on pulmonary functions similar to what continuous glucose monitoring sensors do for diabetic patients. Her invention has been featured by a hundred plus media outlets, including Forbes, TechCrunch, Bloomberg, Fierce Healthcare, and more. Before Samay, Maria completed postdoctoral studies in human genetics at Harvard Medical School, started a plastic surgery residency at the University of Chicago, and completed two master's degrees, one in global public health at the University of Washington, and another in translational medicine at the University of California at Berkeley and San Francisco. She lives in Mountain View, California with her husband, 2-year-old daughter, and four pets. In her free time, she enjoys flamenco dancing, bolero singing, traveling the world, and fostering diversity in and outside the workplace by mentoring underrepresented scientists and entrepreneurs. All right. Well, thank you so much for being here, Maria. I'm so excited to finally get a chance to speak with you. I'd love if you would share a little bit about your background and your career trajectory. What led you to MedTech? [00:02:40] Maria Artunduaga: Sure. So it's gonna be a little long and I'm gonna tell you everything about my life because the personal history is very important to me and for my company too. So, as you have noticed, I have an accent. So, I grew up in Columbia in a very small town in the southern part of the country. My parents were both doctors and I'm the oldest of four kids and two of us followed their lead. So my life in my city was pretty chill. Everyone knew everyone. I spent most of my days at a Catholic school studying very hard on weekends where I usually spent tagging along my parents to doctor events. One of the things that I really like to tell, it's how my parents work as entrepreneurs really shaped my life. They were real pioneers. They built in my hometown the first big clinic back in the eighties and the nineties. And my mom was the only woman in that group, and she actually was the CEO for a while, which was a big deal. She was the only woman in a partnership of 10 people. And watching them build that clinic, that hospital really taught me a lot about dealing with uncertainty and finding solutions. Every day we'll have supper or lunch and I'll just hear all of these challenges and stories, their struggles and how they solve things. Something that was, that is definitely super helpful in what I do now, right? So, and then I was 16 and after high school I moved to Bogota, the capital, which is up in the mountains, it's very cold. I got a scholarship 'cause I was always a very good student. You know, career I spent my last year, I spent nine months in the US. Honestly, coming to the US blew my mind. The technology that I got to see, the speed, effects on science, it was nothing like I've ever seen before, and that was true inspiration for me. So I knew that I had to come to the US. I needed to come back to learn from the best, of course. And it's interesting because my parents didn't want me to relocate to the US. I was the oldest. I was supposed to follow into their footsteps and obviously, like inherited that clinic, right? That hospital, we call it clinic, it's actually a hospital. And I was a very contrarian. I didn't listen to them. I told them, you know, I really wanna be where the best people are. And what I did was that I, it took me three years to save the money to come to the US, to get Harvard to actually sponsor me my visa because they wouldn't pay me for the first year. So I remember I had to save $30,000, which in pesos is significant. So back in 2007, so many years ago, I made it to Boston, and the original idea was that I wanted to become a pediatric plastic surgeon and bring that level of care back to Columbia. I spent four years of researching a genetic ear condition that's called microtia. And with that work, I was able to land a plastic surgery residency spot or position at the University of Chicago. And I shared this with a lot of people. I actually had a really negative experience. Things didn't go as planned. I actually faced discrimination. I eventually, you know, had to leave and I made the top choice to never ever go back into clinical practice. And I changed paths. I was 32 years old and yeah I decided to switch gears. I retrained into public health and tech. And then in 2016, I moved to the Bay Area where I am right now. And I got another scholarship to finish master's in translational medicine at UC Berkeley and UCSF. And during the courses that I took, some of them with business class etc., etc., I decided to found Samay in 2018. I really wanted to build something that would really make a difference in respiratory medicine. And this is where my grandmother comes. So my, the grandmother, my abuela, her name was Sylvia and she had Chronic Obstruct Pulmonary Disease or COPD and she's the reason behind my company. So, she often couldn't tell when her symptoms were getting worse. That's a huge problem. Catching the respiratory attacks, exacerbations is definitely key to keeping people outside of the hospitals, and obviously feeling their best to have a better quality of life. So, that's what we are trying to solve with a company, right? If we are able to catch those exacerbations even with a day or two notice in advance, right, that we can all make a difference. And so by missing these exacerbations, we are having really high expenses in hospitalizations and ER visits and the problem we trying to solve is that today technologies that are adequate enough to be used outside of the hospital because the ones that are considered to be the gold standard, they are very expensive. They are confined to their hospitals and they are very difficult to complete for the patient, especially when they're exacerbating. They need to blow out forcefully for about 10 seconds, 21 times. So what we are doing is, we are developing a sensor that makes it super simple for people to use it at home to track their lung function without doing those forceful maneuvers and ideally in the future to warm them, right? Like to let them know when things are starting to go south or obviously, you know, not going very well, and that's what it's all about. I mean, that's what we do with Sylvee right here. And it's wearable sensor and we have done significantly well over the past couple of years. We actually just won MedTech Innovator. [00:08:04] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Significantly well over the last few years. Yes. So congratulations on that, and I want to dive into all of those exciting milestones in just a second. But I am, first of all, so inspired by your story. Thank you for just sharing that your resilience and your grit and your determination are really admirable. So thank you for sticking with something that was not easy, not an easy path. [00:08:29] Maria Artunduaga: I know. I know. [00:08:31] Lindsey Dinneen: It continues not to be, ironically, as we've kind of touched on before, but just going backward a little bit in your story. So I, it sounds to me like getting the opportunity to watch your parents have this incredible impact on their community and the healthcare and the opportunity is just so valuable for you. And even just learning about how your mom was the CEO and those kinds of things, did that help shape the idea for you that not only is entrepreneurship possible, is innovation and healthcare possible, but you can also be this in incredible leader as a woman in whatever capacity? I would just love to dive into that. [00:09:13] Maria Artunduaga: Yeah, it's super interesting, right? My mom really taught me a lot about leadership. She's a surgeon, so you can imagine how good of a leader she is in the operating room at home, everywhere, right? I mean, she's definitely the general, that's how I call her. And I honestly, I try to replicate, so my leadership and styles pretty much shaped by her. So I always call her my best role model whenever somebody asks me about the question, right? So I'm just like her. I lead from the front. I like setting the pace by working the hardest. So I really like to lead by example and I also, just like she did, and obviously because of her surgical training, I hold myself to a really high standard, and I expect everyone on my team to do the same. So people in my company know that I'm very strict, I'm very disciplined, and they know that from the beginning. It's so funny because when I interview all of them, at the final interviews with me, and I actually do the anti sale to join Samay. It's like, this is, these are all the reasons why you shouldn't join. I start describing myself as a very intense, obsessed CEO with insomnia, which I still have, because I really wanna make this work, right? So, yeah, I, ask them, and most of them say yes. I really like, I attract people that like challenges, especially intellectual challenges. So, yeah, to this point, most of them say yes. Some of them have obviously, you know, because probably too much. But at the same time, I tell them, "Look, this is going to be very hard in terms of the deliverables, the things that we're expecting from you." But at the same time, my goal is to not only help people with respiratory problems, I try to sell the company as a company where everyone that gets hired can be themselves and thrive. So, so for example, I tell them," Look, I'm trying to be the boss that I never had." And this goes obviously very tied to the very negative experience that I had during my surgical residency and even before, right? So, I never had a boss that really supported me, who recognize my true self and those characteristics as good things, right? So they always try to tone me down. I'm very energetic, as you can notice, and I'm also super ambitious. I'm really ambitious. I wanna do all of these great things. And they always thought that I was aiming for too much, especially for a woman. It's like, " You need to lean in, Maria. You need to behave." So I remember my residency, they were criticizing like, "Why are you behaving like this, Maria? Why are you asking so many questions? You're asking too many questions. You look more as an internal medicine doctor. Why are you always smiling, Maria? Why are you so happy?" So now, with everyone that I hire, what I try to do is that I focus on understanding their dreams and I try to figure out how this job is gonna help them get there. So if they wanna become a top engineer, maybe they wanna learn managerial skills, or they wanna run operations, or they eventually wanna become a founder themselves. So I try to create a partnership with them where they obviously help me succeed with the company, build Samay, but at the same time they get to do this personal growth. So it's extremely important that they get to place where they wanna be. [00:12:32] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, that's wonderful. And such a gift to your employees. And I also honestly, that sort of anti interview or whatever technique is brilliant because you do want it to be a fit for everyone, and it's so much better to have aligned expectations from the start. So, oh my goodness, that's so interesting. So, okay, so then. Speaking into that, how do you develop a company culture for yourself? You've learned from some pretty negative experiences, so obviously that's what not to do, but you know, as you're crafting your own company culture now, what kinds of things are sort of your core values, other than of course, your hard work and your excellence and holding yourself and others to high standards, but what kinds of things do have you developed that make it special to be where you are? [00:13:19] Maria Artunduaga: Yeah, I mean, that's a really good question. I'm very true to myself, and one of the things that I wanna do with Samay, it's I wanna create legacy. If you go to my WhatsApp, that's exactly the little logo or the slogan that's below my name: I'm creating or building my life's legacy. That's how I pitch myself. So I really wanna be remembered as someone that made healthcare more accessible, especially for the people that get left behind. So growing up in Columbia, I saw firsthand how unfair things will be and I wanted to change that. So that's how the values of Samay go, people first. I think legacy, it's extremely important, right? It's about getting those life changing tools and opportunities into the hands of people who really need them. And again, it's not necessarily, the group that we're building. It's the own experience of building a company with me, learning from the company, from the people that are working with. I really wanna make it accessible for people. And I wanna also be obviously a source of inspiration. You don't necessarily need to be this perfect person to be a CEO. You know, life is a struggle and that's totally fine. Just be very passionate about building legacy, right, your work and how you're impacting other people. And especially for me, I do a lot of work with women and minorities. I really wanna empower them to chase their dreams in science and technology. I really care about people. I don't know, I'm selfless about me. It's all about the others and creating legacy and being remembered. So, yeah, that's how I, that's how I roll. [00:14:59] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that. I love that. So speaking of you embracing the CEO role, when you first started your company, did you feel ready to step into this kind of position? Or was it something where you just were like, "You know what? I see the need. I know I can make a difference in this field. I'm gonna do it and I'll learn along the way." [00:15:19] Maria Artunduaga: No, not at all. And let, so there's a very good anecdote that I'm sharing. Again, back to all of these life changing experiences. I got into medtech because of, I don't know, somehow the planets got aligned, right? So I was doing a master's in public health because I thought that was going to be my real call, working for Gates in Seattle, because that's where I actually lived for about two years. Then I came to realize that it was very bureaucratic. It's very, was very slow. I have a type A personality. I really like to fix things very quick. I like to implement stuff. So I decided to do a second master's degree, and as I mentioned, here in Berkeley, I decided to join one of Atma METs minority programs for students, right? It's called SMDP. And I remember that was back in 2016, and they sent me to Minneapolis for the big conference. And that's where I got my first real taste of MedTech. And I remember watching the MedTech Innovator finals with Paul Grand. He was introducing the program, the finalist. I remember clearly seeing all of his pitches and how Green Sun Medical CEO won, and it was a game changer to me because when I saw them pitch, it was very exciting. You know, all these technologies, the many millions of people they could definitely impact, I saw that, and it clicked. I could turn the scientific ideas into something that helps millions in a way, the way how I would practice medicine, but in a more impactful way. So interesting story though. So the other thing that was very inspiring or at least that motivated me, I was the only person in the room who looked like me and spoke with an accent from South America, from Latin America. So it was like two reasons behind it. For me, it was I wanna be a medtech entrepreneur, but at the same time I wanna be able to break the glass ceiling, right? The first Latina physician CEO building a company that has hardware, software, and AI, this is what we actually do. And yeah, so it, it's mainly that. I really like challenges and I'm very motivated to show people that I can do things that might seem impossible or too difficult. So I really like showing people that anything is possible with a lot of hard work and determination. So yeah, that's mainly it. [00:17:47] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that. Embracing those challenges, running full steam at them and having that, I don't know, that gumption is fantastic too. And the desire, like... [00:17:57] Maria Artunduaga: Thank you. [00:17:57] Lindsey Dinneen: ...you said, to break through those ceilings and to represent and say, "No, it is possible." It is, and I love that. So, excellent. Okay, so can you share a little bit about the journey that the company has gone under recently and some of the really exciting milestones? I know there have been bumps and whatnot, but maybe some of the exciting things that have been developing and what you're looking forward to as you continue down the road. [00:18:24] Maria Artunduaga: Sure. I mean, whew. There are so many things that have been happening for the last couple of months. So it's been a long journey. It's been six years so far. Initially, you know, I wanted to build a company with an idea that was inspired, obviously, by the fact that I lost my grandmother to exacerbation and also because, at the time, I didn't know what I wanted to build. When I was doing an interview with a pulmonologist, what I realized was that I could actually build a technology that could be inspired by consumer devices, so hearing aids for example. And funny story is that my husband who is also Columbian, and went to MIT, he's been working at Google for over a decade and he's an auto engineer. He does a lot of things. He's very smart and he's one of the main architects. What I decided to do back then was, let's repurpose hearing aid technology by sending signals through the chest, and let's use the physical principle of acoustic resonance to understand what's going on inside of the lungs. And that's exactly what we are doing. We have 10 granted patents so far. We have 20 more pending on pulmonary so far. So we've done a lot of things. So we've tested that device on 450 people almost. All of our numbers of accuracy are over 90. Sensitivities and specificities are also between 82 to 98. Right now we are starting to see changes a few days before an exacerbation is actually diagnosed by a physician, which is extremely exciting. We have data from two people. Obviously it's a small sample size. We are following eight of them, and we're aiming to finish at 60 to hundred people in the next year or so. So that's our main goal. We've raised 5.2 million, 60% of that money is coming from grants, federal grants, and we just submitted a breakthrough designation to the FDA about a week ago, so fingers crossed, though, we get it right? There are a lot of things in the pipeline, things that are very exciting. Right now I'm super excited 'cause those six years were very hard. I was running a science project with my nails, getting money from grants, help from people who have known me forever. It was very hard for me to recruit a full-time CTO. So my husband has been helping me with some hours here and there. And we have right now 12 people in Columbia. So for developers, designers, clinical researchers, we are running most of our operations in Latin America because it's extremely, well, obviously cost efficient, and more importantly, we have access to people that are patients especially that are, that exacerbate more often. So we are to leverage all the different angles that we can get. [00:21:04] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Wow. So lots of exciting things in the works and in the future, and oh my goodness, I'm so excited, can't wait to continue to celebrate all those wonderful accomplishments. So I'm curious, as you've taken this journey and even before with your other health experiences and finding this path, are there any moments all along the journey that really stand out to you as affirming, "Yes, I am in the right place at the right time, in the right industry." [00:21:31] Maria Artunduaga: Yeah, beyond the MedTech Innovator, the experience eight years ago, I mean, every day I find that this is the perfect fit for me. I always tell people, "Look, entrepreneurship is not for everyone. It really needs to be a fit of personality." So when I talked to my parents, because at the beginning they weren't very agreeable with the idea of me becoming an entrepreneur 'cause physicians don't do this, right? I was sort of like a black sheep of a family, 'cause my sister, she's successful and she's a pediatric radiologist as she's working for an academic center in, in Dallas. So, my personality, I'm Type A. I'm very anxious. I really like doing things super fast. I really like to get things done, right? So, I dunno if I picked the wrong career, probably could have done a better job as an engineer, as a scientist myself. So at heart, I'm a true scientist. That's what I really enjoy. I like practicing medicine, sort of miss it a little bit, but I'm more in the quest of solving questions and discovering, right? That's what really excites me. And then, every day is a new day when you're building a company. And the challenges that I have every day, all of the problems I have to solve, I really enjoy the process of solving them. And this is a little crazy. Who gets excited with problems, right? So, I don't know, that's probably me. So I guess every day, the moment I go home or that I go to sleep, I say, "This is perfect. I don't think I'll be as happy as I am right now if I had stayed medicine. I don't think so." [00:23:10] Lindsey Dinneen: Wow. And that says a lot. And that just affirms to you on a daily basis, "Yeah. I am doing what I'm supposed to be doing. That's wonderful. [00:23:17] Maria Artunduaga: Exactly. Right. It's like, yeah, I'm good at this thing. You know? I like solving problems. I got, I really enjoy the fires. I really like them. I's like, I don't know. I'm, yeah. I'm addicted to them. [00:23:30] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that. Well, and that is unusual, and I'm curious, do you? But it's a great thing. No, it's a wonderful thing. Yeah, no, absolutely. I love that. So, so when you're at finding yourself up against a problem, do you start with any particular kind of established framework? Do you like to just brainstorm solutions? How do you approach problem solving? [00:23:53] Maria Artunduaga: Gosh, this is a really good question. It's like, you know, if I had to teach something, right? So I'm very good at solving problems, at connecting different disciplines, right, to solve those issues. So for example, the way how I go about them, first of all, I don't get frustrated or too anxious about it. I always try to think first, right? And then, yeah, I start brainstorming. I'm very quick at thinking, my mind goes super quick. I have a whiteboard right behind me. I do a lot brainstorming on my own. I ask a lot of questions too. So I rely on a lot of people, and I get a lot of feedback on the way, how I think a problem needs to be solved. And obviously with time and experience, the older that you get, the better you become, right? So yeah, honestly, every problem is different. I just like seeing it from different angles, right? I'm very good with social stuff. I'm very good with arts too. I really like doing science, learning a about engineering. I really like different ways of solving problems. For example, I remember that I we had this NIH grant and we were working collaboration with a big, famous academic center right here. And things weren't working very well. That was through during a pandemic and I was getting charged things that we actually didn't approve. So things were getting a little awkward. I decided to finalize that agreement. But then I got through this situation that I had no access to patients here in the States, and at the time, I didn't have my clinical site in Columbia opened up. So what I did was the craziest thing, which is what I did, was that I bought an $80,000 machine and I came into an agreement with a friend from medical school who has a pulmonary practice in South Florida, one of the largest pulmonary practices. He's a partner with nine other guys, and they see probably a hundred patients every day. Can you imagine that? So respiratory patients, and I told him, "Look, I don't have any money to pay your rent, but I'm gonna give you equity for that rent, and you're gonna use this machine from Monday through Thursday, and I'm going to test your patients from Friday to Saturday. And I'm going to bring people, I'm going to become my own CRO, right? So I'm gonna bring people, doctors, from Columbia on a J1 visa as a research scholar visa. I'm gonna train them and I'm gonna get them to do the recruitment, review everything, test the patients. We are going to become our own CROs, and we are going to do as many people as we can every single week." So we were able to do 430 people in a span of a probably a year and a half. Something that usually would cost us thousands of dollars. I dunno how much money I spend, probably just 300,000 to do everything. Can you imagine? I mean, that's significantly cheap compared to any other quote that I've been getting from an academic center. So, I sometimes go for the crazy idea, right? Like, what's the craziest thing that I could think of? I literally, I write it down, right? And then I just try to double check with my lawyer. "Am I doing something illegal here?" And I, yeah, I cross reference with other founders. " I'm thinking of doing this, how that's that sound?" And they're like, "This is pretty non-traditional, Maria, but I mean, if you can get it done..." I'm like, "Yeah, of course I can get it done." And I just get it done. I just don't take a no for an answer. I'm very good at also finding, convincing people to jump on board with the vision, the mission. This excitement, this energy, people really get very engaged with Samay and with me as a founder, and they love it. Most of these people either have invested in the company, they are helping me many more hours, pro bono, literally free, and we are building together. [00:27:43] Lindsey Dinneen: Wow, that is so cool. And what a fantastic story. Thank you for sharing that one as well. Oh my word. [00:27:50] Maria Artunduaga: I have way too many stories to share. This is the one I really like to, to tell people. [00:27:55] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that, and I love the willingness to come up with those crazy ideas. And it might be just so crazy that it works. So, hey, you never know until you try, and that's fantastic. Oh my gosh, I love that approach. Alright, so pivoting the conversation a little bit just for fun. Imagine you are to be offered a million dollars to teach a masterclass... I know! ...to teach a masterclass on anything you want. What would you choose to teach? [00:28:22] Maria Artunduaga: Yeah. So, good question. So, gosh, I, I tackle problem. So my, my brain again is very good at figuring stuff out. That plus the fact that I'm very stubborn. So if I'm into something, I don't give up easily. And now I'm gonna tell the story about our winning MedTech Innovator. We beat 65 companies globally, right? And I still like, sort of, I cannot process that we won. So the story goes like this, but a year ago, I tried to raise five millions, my very first institutional round, and I totally flopped. [00:28:55] Lindsey Dinneen: Oh. [00:28:56] Maria Artunduaga: I only got $200,000 because multiple funds that I was talking to, they wanted me to feel half of the round before weighing any money or signing anything. So you can imagine. So do I got, you know, chicken or the egg problem? I failed. And instead of crying or mopping, I thought, "Okay, wait. I got into Medtech Innovator. You know what? I'm just gonna win that competition, still $350,000." And why not? So obviously people, my advisors, my best friend, "Like, you're crazy. It's the most competitive thing ever. You're not established in the field. People know who you are, but it's not like you have exited a company or anything, right? You're not even an engineer, Maria." So what I did was, again I went back to my whiteboard. Again, I probably should have become an engineer before, I dunno. I'm really good at solving problems. So I was like, "You know, this is a problem. These are the different ways how I can tackle this." And more importantly, I'm very good at the studying stuff. I really like, again, knowing, wisdom, information. I just love that. I really love that. So what I did was, I treat it like a big project, and I talked to the past winners, anyone who had done or won any sort of like prize with MedTech Innovator, and I figure out their secret sauce. So I either talk to them, I studied every single video, every single pitch. I spend many hours studying everyone who had one or had done significantly well throughout the accelerator. So what I discovered was the accelerator was kind of a school, like a school. So the harder you work, the better you do. And one of the things that I realized was that mentors and reviewers were key players. So I focused on building those connections. I met with many of them. I probably spent about, I don't know, probably four to five hours meeting with mentors, anyone who I thought could help me somehow, obviously, for free, because a lot of the help that they give used for free. And I also spent a lot of time doing homework, the webinars, et cetera, et cetera. I ask a lot of people for advice. I really got people excited about Samay. I recruited my mentors and they got on board from day one. Because of that, I started building those relationships and it was authentic. I mean, don't get me wrong, this wasn't like, you know, I'm trying to play anybody. I really care about what they had to say, and I incorporate all that feedback into my company to this day. So the other thing is, I make sure to go to everywhere, every webinar, every event, everything. My camera was always on, because most people, when they do their webinars, they don't even turn on their cameras, right? So I was very engaged. I was asking questions, I was getting involved with everything. Same thing with the Slack channel that we have for MedTech Innovator. I was helping people, I was sharing stuff. I was even offering to make introductions. I really made sure that people knew who I was. And I obviously also asked the MedTech Innovator people, the staff, for help, feedback, right? Am I doing this right? What do you think I should do? Anything that you can share with me that you think. I was very clear with them. I wanna go to the, I wanna get to the finals. I told them, and I remember they telling me, "Oh, Maria, about getting to the finals, it's so hard. It depends on the strategics and the sponsors." And I was like, " I'm gonna get there. What do you think I should do?" So I literally ask a lot of people how I needed to get there. And with the finals, the way how they pick the finalist, it's actually the mentors who go in front of the strategics, and they sort of champion your company. And they really went to bat for us. They told them how committed I was, the many people that from my team were actually going for participating to the winner because I brought people from my team... [00:32:45] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. [00:32:46] Maria Artunduaga: You know, very few founders did that. I brought people from Colombia, obviously online, people who barely could understand English. But, I made them prepare questions. "You need to do this and that we need to be super engaged. We need to help other people." And they saw it was hard work. And at the end, we got into the finals and what I realized was, okay, so after the finals, I understood that the game was, obviously it changed. The way how the winner is chosen is that the audience votes, right, during The MedTech Conference. So what I did was, I went all in on social media. We made an awesome video for the best video competition. I remember that that was the first thing that I did back in June. I scheduled two weeks. I flew to Columbia. I hired right people. I made sure that I was perfect, so I was part of the creative team. I designed everything. Again, I really like arts, right? That's why, one of the reasons why I didn't, I was in pleasantry and that's why I really like dancing too, right? So I'm obsessive with everything that we do. I really am into the details and I supervise everything. And we also got into the finals for the best video competition. So I was going to this problem from every single angle. I didn't let anything up to chance. I, yeah, I'm a freak. I'm a control freak. That's what I did. I remember that even for the pitch, the four and a half minute pitch, I practiced, I don't know how many hours, but every single thing that I say that was obviously memorized, needed to be perfect. The way how I, let's go back to dancing since you're a dancer yourself, the way how I moved my hands, right? The way, how I walked on that stage, everything was rehearsed. So, yeah, I mean, I just I worked my ass off. I mean, everything was the way it needed to be and that's how we won. [00:34:39] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Wow. That's great. What a fantastic story. Yeah. Amazing. Yes. I love how it's so choreographed. Yeah, that's [00:34:48] Maria Artunduaga: great. It was choreographed, [00:34:50] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that. Excellent. Well, I know you have touched on the importance of legacy and how much that means to you, but how do you wish to be remembered after you leave this world? [00:35:03] Maria Artunduaga: Oh gosh. Yeah. I mean, so I have a little daughter, I want to some somehow replicate the same experience that I had with my mom. Maybe she doesn't even realize how much of the inspiration and the impact that she had on me. And again, leading by example, I don't spend a lot of hours with my daughter, right? I have a nanny for 12 hours. So my salary goes to her payment, right? Yeah, I wanna be remembered as somebody who tried very hard, who literally, instead of saying things, I walked the talk. The things that I said I was going to say. For example, I'm very opinionated with anything diversity and inclusion because, as I've said, I've experienced discrimination myself. So I walk the talk, I build a product, I build the change. I worked really hard. I impacted a lot of people. And more importantly, the world has changed somehow because I existed. So that's that. It's as simple as that. I wanna help other people get to fulfillment of their lives and their dreams. And yeah, and I obviously wanna be happy while I do all of these things. And more importantly, I wanna feel that I learned a lot. I really like learning. The process of learning every single day, learning a new thing makes me super happy. So if I don't learn something new, I consider day as, you know, as like a flop or something. So yeah, it's very simple. I'm actually a very simple person, I'm not that complicated. [00:36:30] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Okay. And then final question. What is one thing that makes you smile every time you see or think about it? [00:36:39] Maria Artunduaga: Oh, cute. I mean, obviously my daughter. So I'm a mom. I'm 44, well, almost 45, and I had her at 42. So just thinking about her makes me smile every single time. She's a miracle baby. She's, you know, after four years of IVF, eight retrievals, it finally happened. I finally had her, and having her in my life has turned my world upside down in the best way. She's determined, and she's only three. She's diving into doing all sorts of things. She's doing gymnastics, she's building Legos, she's doing engineering stuff. I really like that "I can do anything attitude" and obviously I'm sort of like reinforcing her to do anything she wants to try. So seeing her try all these new things, all this confidence that I, that she has. It's like, I don't know. I mean, that inspires me. That motivates me to be a better mom, a better CEO, and to do exactly the same thing with the people that I work with. So everyone in my company, I I tell them I'm a mom, right? So, remember that, and I try to do the same with them. It's like I tell them, what do you wanna do? What do you wanna learn this month? What do you need? Right? My work as a CEO is getting the resources and put out the fires. Just tell me, and this is your playground, so I'm trying to do exactly the same with my daughter too. But yeah, I'm very happy with her. [00:38:07] Lindsey Dinneen: Aw, that's wonderful. I'm so glad. Well, oh my goodness, this conversation has been amazing. I kind of wish it didn't have to end, but I also wanna respect your time 'cause obviously you have so much going on. But thank you so much for sharing about your story, your advice. You're so inspiring, and I know this is gonna inspire so many people to go for it, and not to have the fear, to have that problem solving mentality, and growth mindset and learning and, hey, look where curiosity got you. [00:38:37] Maria Artunduaga: Yeah, exactly. That's a perfect slogan. It's all about that curiosity and it gets you places. Look at me. [00:38:43] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, exactly. Yeah. And this is just the start. [00:38:47] Maria Artunduaga: Yes, of course. [00:38:48] Lindsey Dinneen: Indeed. So I just wanna say thank you again for your time today, and we just wish you the most continued success as you work to change lives for a better world. [00:38:58] Maria Artunduaga: Thank you so much and thank you again for invitation. I really enjoyed it. [00:39:02] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, absolutely. Me too. And we are honored to be making a donation on your behalf as a thank you for your time today to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which is dedicated to preventing animal cruelty in the United States. We really appreciate you choosing that organization to support and thank you just again, so very much for your time here today. Yeah, and holy cannoli, thank you so much to our listeners for tuning in, and if you're feeling as inspired as I am right now, I'd love it if you'd share this episode with a colleague or two, and we'll catch you next time.

There were certainly many talking points from the weekend's top flight round, and we begin this episode with some positivity from Jon Steele after Yokohama FC moved out of the drop zone with an away win over Shonan on Saturday, as the sky blues continue to make a decent fist of their return to J1 (to 21:00). Then in Part 2 Jonny and Ben continue their roundup of Matchday 17, beginning with Kashima extending their advantage at the top of the table after they downed Shimizu, and Kashiwa lost at Machida. Next up is Kyoto, who piled on the misery for bottom club Yokohama F.Marinos with a fine away win, before we move on to events at Saitama Stadium, where Urawa claimed a controversy-laced home win over FC Tokyo (Ben's rant alert). Following that we review all of the other games, before finishing with a look ahead to midweek and weekend action.

Jonny and Ben return with a midweek special, to round up the eight games played from J1 Matchday 13 on Tuesday. After beginning the episode with a quick look back at Kawasaki's ACL Elite quarter final win (Spoiler Alert: They won their semi final, too!), we begin our J1 wrap with the game Jonny was at: Gamba Osaka's win over incumbent leaders Kyoto (to 14:45). Then we move on to Kashima going top, and Kashiwa second, with away wins (to 23:10), Shimizu and Machida both moving up after also winning on the road (to 30:50), Tokyo Verdy's second straight win, and Hiroshima Crisis Watch after their home defeat at the hands of Niigata, plus the only draw between Shonan and Fukuoka.

Alan Gibson returned to the podcast, to help Jonny and Ben review goings-on from last midweek, and how the four Kansai clubs are faring after 11 rounds. We chat about the three J1 games - including Steve Holland's ouster at Yokohama F.Marinos after their home loss to Shimizu - and the conclusion of the 2nd round of the 1st round of the Levain Cup last Wednesday (to 18:30), before moving on to Matchday 11, beginning with our new leaders Kyoto, Kobe's fruitful week, and draws for both Osaka sides (to 1:05:55). Then in Part 2 Jonny and Ben round up the other six games, and look ahead to games coming up in Matchday 12.

After the rest of the Levain Cup Round 2 games were played last Wednesday, Jon Steele covers all of the action from a J2 standpoint in an 8-minute mini-pod. All 5 of the J2 v J1 ties last midweek went into extra time, but in the end only one 2nd-tier side made it through to the next round! Jon also nominates a Most Bravo Player from the midweek madness. *You can support The J-Talk Podcast on Patreon here: https://patreon.com/jtalkpod *Find our dedicated Discord server here: https://discord.gg/UwN2ambAwg *Follow JTET on Bluesky @jtalket.bsky.social
