Podcasts about Jamaica

Our guest for today's episode is one of the most exciting sprinters in the world right now. Julien Alfred is the reigning Olympic champion in the 100m, a World Indoor champion in the 60m, and the athlete who is rewriting history for St. Lucia on the biggest stages in track.On February 1st, 2026, Julien will return to The Armory in New York City to headline the women's 60m at the Millrose Games — the same track where she ran a meet record back in 2024 before going on to win world and Olympic gold.Our conversation with her isn't just about medals or times; it's about what comes after the breakthrough year and how you learn to carry success without letting it crush you.Julien opens up about navigating pressure, expectations, and loneliness at the top and about growing up fast in St. Lucia, leaving home to chase a dream in Jamaica, Texas, and beyond, and learning how to protect her mental health while still pushing her limits.We talk about trust — in her coach Edrick Floreal, in the process, and in herself — and why 2026 feels less about proving something to the world and more about rediscovering joy in the sport she loves.____________Host: Anderson Emerole | @atkoeme on InstagramGuest: Julien Alfred | @julien.alfred on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSNOMIO: Made with 80% broccoli sprout juice, 15% lemon juice, and 5% sugar, Nomio activates your body's natural defense systems to reduce lactate, speed recovery, and enhance muscle adaptation.

In this solo episode, I reflect on a deeply personal trip back to my home island of Jamaica following a devastating hurricane. What began as a planned celebration for my younger sister's 30th birthday became a powerful homecoming filled with mixed emotions, difficult decisions, and meaningful moments of family, service, and reflection. I share the internal debate I faced about whether to still travel after the storm, how I ultimately decided to go, and what the experience revealed to me about community, resilience, gratitude, and wealth beyond money. From being reunited with all my siblings in one place, to giving back through supplies and local spending, to leaning on my village back home as a mother of three, this episode is a reminder that financial freedom is meant to support a full, connected life. In this episode, I discuss: How leaning on my village at home made it possible for me to travel as a working mother What visiting my father and grandfather's gravesite stirred emotionally and spiritually Why supporting Jamaican-owned businesses felt especially important during recovery How giving back without performing it publicly shifted my perspective on service + more Other related blog posts/links mentioned in this episode: Get your copy of Your Journey To Financial Freedom if you haven't already.

What if an entire family's trajectory changed in a single moment of tragedy? In this episode, Stephen Woessner, founder of Predictive ROI, shares the remarkable story of his grandfather Peter Marus, who arrived in America in 1920 with just $10 and couldn't speak English. After his father was murdered on the streets of Istanbul for being Greek, eight-year-old Peter became the family breadwinner, dropping out of third grade to support his mother and siblings. That singular tragedy transformed his family's DNA, creating a lineage of entrepreneurs that spans four generations. Stephen reveals how his grandfather's business philosophy during the Great Depression, giving away more soup than he sold because "Jesus might look like anyone," shaped his own approach to business and giving. Now running an agency that serves other agencies, Stephen and his wife have quietly paid thousands in tuition for struggling families, honoring his grandfather's sacrifice while pursuing an audacious vision: building 100 churches and funding college educations for as many kids as possible. Stephen explains why education is the great equalizer, how one moment of violence created an entire family of business owners, and what it means to honor the risks your ancestors took by working late into the night when you'd rather sleep.   [00:03:00] The Corey Morris Connection Kevin and Stephen connected through Corey Morris and felt like they'd known each other for years Stephen: "When Corey introduces me to somebody, there's the transference of trust and credibility" The power of context in introductions versus generic "you're both great guys" connections Trust transfers through quality, contextual connections [00:06:40] Family First, Business Second Married 32 years to Christine, daughter Caitlyn is freshman in college Stephen and Christine were married 14 years before having Caitlyn On "empty nesting": "I think we're gonna be okay" spending time together again [00:07:00] Building Predictive ROI Started Predictive ROI in 2009 with team of 26 who genuinely care about each other Uses the "forbidden love word" inside the business Agency supports other agencies with business development and sales operations Team travels together, hangs out together, laughs and cries together [00:09:20] The Unlikely Path to Agency Life Grew up in Canton, Ohio surrounded by family restaurant businesses Graduated 272 out of 300 in high school ("I don't think you got your percentiles right, Mom") Joined Air Force in junior year, spent four years in nuclear missile silos in South Dakota Learned power of troubleshooting and system design [00:11:00] Breaking Into Advertising Working at Red Lobster, needed marketing experience to become manager Called agencies in Rapid City offering to work for free, most said he was "greener than green" Robert Sharp and Associates said yes to three-month unpaid internship Competed against two other interns: "There's no way I'm not winning this" [00:16:00] What Inspires the Work Changing trajectory from famine to feast in business development Replacing desperation with hope, confidence, and structure Creating dependable sales pipelines that open new possibilities for agencies [00:17:40] The Everest Mission Business goals mapped on office wall, but real "why" is building 100 churches Put as many kids through college as possible Stephen: "Education is a great equalizer" Business profits fund impact, not the other way around [00:20:40] Peter Marus: The Man Who Changed Everything Born 1902 in Istanbul, Turkey Father murdered on streets when Peter was eight for being Greek Dropped out of third grade to become breadwinner for mom and two younger siblings At 18 (1920), came to United States with $10 and no English [00:22:20] Building The Ideal Restaurant Came to Canton, Ohio, started washing dishes and cutting vegetables Traded skills for money, saved everything Six years later, opened The Ideal restaurant in downtown Canton Got married, had four kids [00:23:20] The Depression Philosophy Gave away more soup than he sold during the Great Depression Peter's response when asked why: "I know Jesus is coming back someday. I don't know what he's gonna look like, so I'm just gonna be kind to everybody" Entire business plan: "If you take care of your customer, they will take care of you" And he was right [00:24:20] Papu: 14 Years of Living Proof Stephen called him "Papu" (Greek for grandfather), passed away when Stephen was 14 For 14 years, showed Stephen what it meant to be good person, take care of people, sacrifice for family Stephen: "I didn't hear somebody just talk about it. I saw somebody live it" [00:25:40] When DNA Changes in a Moment Stephen believes when great-grandfather was murdered, family DNA changed to entrepreneurs Peter's four kids all became restaurateurs All 10 grandkids became business owners 100% of family downstream became entrepreneurs [00:28:00] From Poor Student to Education Advocate Peter had only third grade education but was incredibly intelligent Never stopped reading and consuming knowledge with fervor for education Stephen got four college degrees through Air Force Now wants to put as many kids through college as possible in Peter's honor [00:29:20] Becoming a Partner in Three Years Told agency president: "I want to be an owner in this business" Set five-year goal, worked hard, badgered the president Accomplished it in three years instead [00:30:00] The Late Night Work Ethic Peter's photo framed on Stephen's office wall as daily reminder At night when tired: "I think I can send one more email" Has privilege to do what he does because Peter took all those risks Grandmother's struggle from Crete to America was horrendous too [00:32:00] The $5,186 Check That Changed Lives First time Stephen has shared this story publicly 15 years ago at back-to-school night, wondered if families were struggling with tuition Principal Bob said family's business failing, owed $5,186, had to pull kids out Stephen brought check that day, one condition: complete anonymity Received anonymous thank you letter, Stephen and Christine crying in kitchen: "We need to do more of that" [00:36:00] The Gift of Receiving Kevin's realization 13 years ago: not receiving deprives others of joy of giving Family foundation gives kids debit card at Christmas to find struggling families Kids shop for gifts/food, deliver everything themselves Oldest daughter: "Dad, I wish I could just do that all the time" [00:38:40] Blossom Garden Orphanage Kevin's family supports Jamaica orphanage for years, takes trips to spend time with kids Kids call it "white people day" when they visit First trip son Brock was 3, only white kid in photo, completely oblivious Now take kids' school friends, parents amazed when they return with new perspective   KEY QUOTES "You know, I know that Jesus is coming back someday.

The CBC's David Common was in Jamaica more than a month after parts of the island were devastated by a category 5 hurricane. He takes us to a local hospital where the roof was ripped off and patients are still showing up with injuries from the storm. He also introduces us to locals who are trying to get back on their feet and hoping that tourists will still be coming this winter season. Tourism makes up one third of Jamaica's GDP and employs hundreds of thousands of people.

They were inspired by ISIS. Authorities in Australia say the father and son behind the mass shooting at a Hanukkah party on Sunday had ISIS material and believed the group's ideology. The attack on the Jewish community killed at least 15 people and injured dozens more.And: European Union eases up on its plan to ban gas powered cars. It has been driving the global environmental push for electric cars, with plans to sell only EVs by 2035.But now, under pressure from car companies and countries, the European Union is shifting gears.Also: Quebec has expanded its bottle deposit program and that's turned out to be a good thing for some Ontarians. Residents of Ontario — who do not pay a deposit — are returning bottles in Quebec, for a “refund”.Plus: B.C. flooding, Israel blocks Canadian delegation from West Bank, Jamaica rebuilds, and more.

Our conversation revolves around the freshly released Offshore CX Confidence Index 2025, now celebrating its fifth edition.We discuss how the index has evolved over the years, including important methodological changes in data collection and a significant increase in respondent volume.

We also reveal the Top 5 global CX destinations, discussing why, for example Poland continues to strengthen its position, why the Dominican Republic remains a nearshore favorite, and why India still stands unchallenged at number one.This episode is a must-listen for anyone involved in CX strategy, outsourcing decisions, or location analysis. If you want to understand where confidence, stability, and long-term CX potential truly lie in 2025, this conversation provides both data-driven insights and real-world perspective.Key points of the podcast:The CX Confidence Index reveals significant growth in countries like Jamaica, Guatemala, and South Africa, reflecting improvements in their customer service sectors.India maintains its dominance as the top destination for customer experience outsourcing, driven by high confidence in its labor market, infrastructure, and economic stability.Poland and Romania emerge as strong European contenders, with Poland showing notable gains in economic stability and Romania leading in multilingual talent availability.  Links:Peter Ryan on Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-ryan-montreal/Matt Kendall on Linkedin – https://www.linkedin.com/in/cognitivematt/Cognitive Copy – https://www.cognitivecopy.com/ and https://www.cognitivecopy.com/offshore-cx-confidence-index-2025Ryan Strategic Advisory – https://ryanadvisory.com/ and https://ryanadvisory.com/offshore-cx-confidence-index-2025/Talk to AI about this episode – https://gmbw.onpodcastai.com/episodes/852Yf3D4q7H/chat  ****************************  My name is Wiktor Doktór and on daily basis I run Pro Progressio Club - https://proprogressio.com/en/activity/pro-progressio-club/1 - it's a community of many private companies and public sector organizations that care about the development of business relations in the B2B model.

Today's episode is one of the most powerful conversations to ever happen on TDA. Our guest, Stephanie Thompson, opens her life with honesty, courage and emotional clarity as she walks us through a journey marked by childhood trauma, identity confusion, public transition and spiritual restoration.Stephanie shares how moving to Jamaica as a child exposed her to a dangerous environment where grooming and abuse became normalised. She describes, in heartbreaking detail, how two separate assaults at age twelve stole her innocence and reshaped her relationship with her own body, her identity and the world around her. Returning to the UK, she buried the trauma and threw herself into friendships, online personas and eventually the Black LGBT scene where she sought belonging, protection and a way to rewrite who she was.Her story moves into her years living as Stefan, a trans man, documenting the deep psychological shifts brought on by testosterone, the urgency to remove parts of her body to ease her inner turmoil, and the spiralling attempts to mould her external identity into something that felt safer than being a woman. She explains the emotional cost of misgendering, the paranoia in everyday public life, the breakdown of relationships and the painful truth that transitioning never resolved the ache at the core.But the most transformative part of her story is her return to faith, where she finally confronted the trauma she had buried for almost two decades. Stephanie speaks about repentance, healing, forgiveness, and the courage it took to reclaim her womanhood after years of public advocacy as a trans man. Her reflections are raw, thoughtful and unflinchingly honest.This episode is not sensational. It is human. It is layered. And it is a rare window into the complexity of identity, trauma, survival and redemption. Stephanie's vulnerability turns this conversation into one of the most important testimonies shared on the platform.FOLLOW: THE DAY AFTER► X: ⁠https://x.com/TheDayAfterTNB⁠► INSTAGRAM: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/thedayaftertnb/⁠► TIKTOK: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@thedayaftertnb⁠► YOUTUBE: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@TheDayAfterTNB⁠► SPOTIFY: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/0vkTPwat1n6y7l3MOfjQcf?si=0e7daa6ca317441e ⁠► PATREON: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/cw/THENEWBLXCK⁠► DISCORD: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.com/invite/thenewblxck⁠► WEBSITE: ⁠https://thenewblxck.com⁠► STORE: ⁠https://thenewblxck.store⁠► DILEMMA? ⁠https://www.thenewblxck.com/dilemma⁠► EMAIL: thedayafter@thenewblxck.com► CLICK HERE TO GET SHARES IN THE NEW BLXCK - ⁠https://app.seedlegals.com/en/pitch/c_VoSPUCwhTo/The-New-Blxck⁠ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY?

Welcome to the 248th Church Anniversary of First African Baptist Church. Guest preacher Rev. Dr. Devere Nugent of the East Queen Street Baptist Church in Kingston, Jamaica joins us on this momentous occasion to help us celebrate and usher in a new year of life for the church.

Mother Mary Comes to Me by Arundhati Roy. This is by the author of the Booker Prize winning The God of Small Things - about her life growing up in India, the forces that shaped her, and particularly her very difficult relationship with her mother, Mary, who is always referred to in the book as Mrs Roy. Mrs Roy was a formidable force of nature and in trying to make sense of the dynamic between them, and to find her own way in the world, Arundhati has written a deeply moving, entertaining and profound memoir. How to Say Babylon by Safiya Sinclair. The author grew up in Jamaica where her father was a radical Rastafarian and was paranoid about keeping his daughters away from the secular world which they referred to as Babylon. Safiya's childhood was often brutal, peripatetic and poor but she had the soul of a poet and the dream to eventually become one. It's an extraordinary and deeply moving memoir – how one young woman eventually found the courage to stand up to her father and became the woman she never thought she could be. Anyone who read Educated and loved it will love this. The Breath of the Gods by Simon Winchester: A remarkable exploration of our atmosphere, and the role played in our lives by wind – which can be both benign and malevolent. It's a fascinating story told through history, literature, science, poetry and engineering – and includes a piece on our own Wahine disaster. Simon Winchester has an ability to make the everyday and apparently mundane, extraordinary. The Hollows Boys by Peta Carey. The story of the three Hollows brothers Gary, Mark and Kim, who were pivotal in the helicopter deer recovery era in Fjordland in the 1970s which was a dangerous and unregulated time. Gary Hollows died (as did many others) and the pain of that is still felt keenly today, more than 40 years on. The work they did against the backdrop of such a beautiful part of the country is jaw dropping, with high deer tallies helping keep that population down (and thereby protecting the environment), lots of money sloshing around and amazing stories of real derring do by a group of extraordinarily brave and reckless men who lived by their own rules. Mana by Tame Iti. The deeply personal account of the life of one of our greatest rebels and radicals who grew up being forbidden to speak te reo and became one of its biggest advocates (amongst many other causes). He's lived much of his life in the public eye, going from bad boy status to that of a national treasure and the journey is well documented in this beautiful and thoughtful book. It's a lovely production and includes lots of photographs, including some of his own artwork. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Spending time in hell is not my idea of something that one should do,” says poet Lorna Goodison, yet she immersed herself there for years to create her extraordinary modern Jamaican translation of Dante's Inferno. We are thrilled to offer this conversation between Pádraig and Lorna, recorded as an online component of the Greenbelt Festival in England in 2025. She reads from her work, and together, they discuss Lorna's inspiration for her underworld undertaking, how she found her Virgil, and why she calls The Inferno “bitter, necessary medicine for now.”   We invite you to subscribe to Pádraig's weekly Poetry Unbound Substack, read the Poetry Unbound books and his newest work, Kitchen Hymns, or listen to all our Poetry Unbound episodes.  Caribbean poet Lorna Goodison was born in Kingston, Jamaica. She was appointed Poet Laureate of Jamaica in 2017.

On today's program, the Department of Justice is suing the founder of Life Surge, Joe Johnson, for his alleged part in a scheme to cheat the government out of over $46 million in taxes through abusive bargain sale transactions. We'll take a look. And, a new report reveals the final moments of missionaries Alex and Serena Wurm before their plane crashed on a trip to deliver aid to Jamaica. We'll have details. Plus, two reports that detail reasons for cautious optimism. One shows that the decline of religion in America has stalled. Another, that Christian giving in America is on the rebound. But first, abuse lawsuits are piling up against Pastor Greg Laurie and his Harvest Christian Fellowship, bringing the total number of lawsuits to 12. The original lawsuit was filed in September by two men claiming that Paul Havsgaard abused them at a children's shelter in Bucharest, Romania. Allegations include children being tied to radiators, being made to kneel down on walnut shells, being touched inappropriately, and being “pimped out” for sex. The number of litigants has now risen to 12. The law firm representing the survivors said in a news release in September that it expects 23 former residents of the children's home to bring complaints. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. We get database and other technical support from Stephen DuBarry, Rod Pitzer, and Casey Sudduth. Writers who contributed to today's program include Kim Roberts, Tony Mator, Daniel Ritchie, Isaac Wood, Bob Smietana, Jessica Eturralde, and Makella Knowles. Until next time, may God bless you.

In today's episode of Back to Jamaica, Heidi Clarke, Executive Director of the Sandals Foundation, shares an inspiring look at how the Sandals Foundation continues to uplift Jamaica and support the communities that make the island so special. Guided by its mission to uplift Caribbean communities, she shares how the Foundation mobilized quickly after Hurricane Melissa, and continues to provide meaningful support where it's needed most.  Heidi also highlights the powerful role tourism plays in these efforts, with travelers making a meaningful impact through initiatives like Pack for a Purpose— a program where visitors can pack school supplies, books, and baby essentials that help children and classrooms thrive. With the help of strong global partners, local government collaboration, and visitors who care deeply about Jamaica, she is confident the island is already moving forward quickly and will emerge stronger than ever.

The American Media continues to mislead us about the truth about everything. Example, is it true that Hurricane Melissa devastated the island of Jamaica? NO. Yet they report that. Is it true that Somalia is a dirty country? No... Yet the President reports that and the public believes it because that is what the American media shows about the other... which continues to create false narratives about people and places. What if we were to say that Hurricane devatated the US? Would that be true? No for it only affected the people in New Orleans. They seem to be mixing up the whole with the part and the mathematical idea of subsets.Renaldo discussed this on this Podcast brief.Renaldo is the author of Neoliberalism, available at https://store.theneoliberal.com and worldwide on Amazon, Ingramspark and Barnes and Noble etc. Visit us at https://theneoliberal.com

Are you about to become invisible in the new era of dental marketing and AI? In this episode, Dr. Anissa Broussard shares how she went from a small island practice in Jamaica to leading a top dental marketing and AI agency built by a dentist, for dentists. If you're tired of being the best-kept secret in your city, this conversation is your roadmap.Dental marketing for dentists has shifted dramatically, and practices now need more than traditional dental marketing or basic dental practice marketing to stay competitive. Working with a specialized dental marketing agency can help dentists implement modern strategies like AI dental marketing, social media for dentists, and funnels for dentists—all designed to attract the right patients and create predictable dental practice growth. These tools make it easier to connect with people, build trust, and grow my dental practice without relying on discounts or outdated tactics.In today's landscape, marketing for dentists must include intelligent systems, automation, and platforms like ChatGPT for dentists to streamline communication and increase conversions. Leaders such as Dr. Anissa Broussard and her agency Digital Floss are setting the standard for what effective, authentic, and future-proof dental marketing looks like. By combining brand storytelling, omnichannel content, and AI-driven optimization, dentists can elevate their visibility, strengthen their reputation, and drive sustainable growth in any market.Chapters (Timestamps)00:00 Intro & why this conversation matters for dentists00:56 Who is Dr. Anissa?

The pivotal year of 1870 brought down the curtain on the redcoat garrison world at both the metropolitan and colonial ends of the empire . . . In fewer than forty years, less than a lifetime, Aotearoa had gone from being a Māori world in which rangatira dominated, to a colony in which the settler state was in control of the economy, politics and people's social destiny. Garrison World: Redcoat Soldiers in New Zealand and across the British Empire (Bridget Williams Books, 2025) by Professor Charlotte Macdonald explores the lives of soldiers, sailors and their families stationed in Aotearoa New Zealand and across the British empire in the nineteenth century. Spanning the decades from 1840 to 1870, this major new history from Charlotte Macdonald places the New Zealand Wars within the wider framework of imperial power. It shows how conflict and resistance throughout the empire, from rebellion in India to the Morant Bay uprising in Jamaica, were connected to the colonial project in New Zealand. At the centre of this history are the thousands who served in the British military – from rank-and-file soldiers and bluejackets drawn from working-class Britain and Ireland, to officers from elite backgrounds who purchased their commissions. Their presence in New Zealand was vital to the imposition of imperial control, both during times of war and in the intervening years when the garrison underpinned a fragile settler economy and society. Through rich archival detail and personal accounts, Garrison World traces the structures, experiences and legacies of military occupation. Acknowledging the impact on Māori communities and whenua, the book offers a critical and unflinching account of how imperial authority was imposed – and often violently asserted. This is a compelling and significant contribution to understanding the reordering of power that shaped Aotearoa in the nineteenth century. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Spanien och Portugal inledde en intensiv maktkamp om kontrollen över världshaven i slutet på 1400-talet. Med stöd från påvemakten, och drivna av drömmen om rikedomar, sjövägar och inflytande, erövrade de iberiska kungadömena Atlantöarna, utforskade Afrikas västkust och Amerika. De delade upp den nyupptäckta världen mellan sig – och lade därmed grunden för den första globala världsordningen.Den första världsomseglingen, under Ferdinand Magellans befäl 1519–1522, visade tydligt att haven band samman jordens kontinenter. Europa, Amerika, Afrika och Asien kopplades samman via sjövägar – vi gick från en torr till en blå världsbild.I detta andra av två avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Leos Müller, professor i historia vid Stockholms universitet. Han är aktuell med boken Europas vändpunkter: 1492, 1914 och 1989.Den spanska och portugisiska dominansen kretsade kring kontrollen över havsrutter, handelsmonopol, kryddor, guld och slavar. Portugal byggde upp ett omfattande nätverk av handelsstationer, fort och sjövägar längs Afrikas och Asiens kuster – vilket gjorde landet till en global handelsmakt. Spanien, å sin sida, etablerade kolonier i Amerika och senare även på Filippinerna, där naturresurser och ursprungsbefolkning exploaterades.Under ledning av sjöfartsintresserade monarker och med hjälp av ny skeppsteknik begav sig portugiserna tidigt ut på Atlanten. De etablerade handelsstationer på öar som Madeira och Azorerna och seglade så småningom runt Afrika för att nå Indien och Asien – i jakt på kryddor och rikedomar. Samtidigt, efter att Christofer Columbus 1492 nått Amerika på spansk uppdrag, inledde Spanien sin omfattande koloniala expansion i den nya världen.År 1494 slöts Tordesillasfördraget, där Spanien och Portugal – med påvens godkännande – delade upp den nyupptäckta världen. En tänkt linje drogs 370 leguas väster om Kap Verde-öarna: allt väster om linjen tillföll Spanien, allt öster om linjen tillföll Portugal.Resultatet blev att Spanien fick större delen av Amerika, medan Portugal bland annat tilldelades Brasilien samt handelsvägar och territorier i Afrika och Asien.Den iberiska expansionen skapade en ny global ordning. Världshandeln band samman kontinenter, varor och människor rörde sig i ett växande globalt nätverk. Men denna utveckling fick också katastrofala konsekvenser: ursprungsbefolkningar decimerades, slavhandeln expanderade och exploateringen av människor och natur intensifierades. Den ekonomiska tillväxten, kapitalismen och de globala maktstrukturerna har sina rötter i denna epok.Bildtext: Detalj ur en karta från 1590 av Abraham Ortelius, föreställande Victoria, det enda av Ferdinand Magellans fartyg som fullbordade världsomseglingen.

We read 'If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies' by Yudkowsky & Soares (so you don't have to) Watch this video at- https://youtu.be/IHTunMmNado?si=4RvOZ5hyUAE7NzSo We Read This So You Don't Have To Nov 16, 2025 We Read This (So You Don't Have To) We read If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies: Why Superhuman AI Would Kill Us All by Eliezer Yudkowsky & Nate Soares so you don't have to …but if you've ever wondered how building superhuman artificial intelligence could turn into humanity's last mistake, this episode might forever change how you think about technology, risk, and the future of intelligence. In this episode, we break down Yudkowsky & Soares's alarming thesis: when we build AI that out-thinks us, the default isn't friendly cooperation — it's misalignment, hidden objectives, and catastrophic loss of control. Modern AI isn't programmed in the old way; it's grown, resulting in systems whose goals we cannot fully predict or steer. The authors argue that unless humanity halts or radically redesigns the trajectory of large-scale AI development, we may be writing our own extinction notice.

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.A school bans “edges,” a graduation blocks braids, a child with locks is told to stay home—on the surface, they're dress code debates. Look closer and you see a lineage of power: colonial respectability, “imperial cleanliness,” and the policing of Black and Brown bodies through hair. We sit down with artist, educator, and gender rights advocate amilcar sanatan to map how grooming rules took root, why they persist, and what it takes to change them without sacrificing learning or dignity. We unpack the language of “neat,” “professional,” and “acceptable,” tracing it from plantation hierarchies to modern handbooks. Together, we connect scholarship and lived experience—Rastafari resistance and the Coral Gardens legacy, the gendered training of girls into silence and boys into “tidiness,” and the quiet violence of sending students home over texture or style. Along the way, we explore key legal and cultural flashpoints from Trinidad and Tobago's school hair code to Jamaica's Kensington Primary case, and why each decision matters for access to education, equal employment, and human rights.This conversation doesn't stop at critique. We highlight grassroots wins and everyday acts of repair: natural hair days led by young teachers, principals revising codes to center hygiene and safety rather than assimilation, and families rethinking what professionalism looks like in Caribbean contexts. The goal isn't disorder—it's dignity. Keep students in class. Measure readiness by curiosity and conduct, not curls. Celebrate cultural expression while maintaining clear, fair standards that actually support learning. If this resonates, share it with a friend, subscribe for more Caribbean history and culture, and leave a review telling us how grooming rules shaped your school or workplace. Your stories move this work forward.amílcar peter sanatan is an interdisciplinary Caribbean artist, educator and activist. He is from Trinidad and Tobago and currently working between East Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Helsinki, Finland.

In this episode, we sit down with Kevin Clarke, General Manager of Sandals Dunn's River, who shares his heartfelt gratitude and excitement to be back at the iconic resort, welcoming guests once again. Describing Sandals Dunn's River as the “quintessential Caribbean experience,” Clarke reflects on the deep personal and cultural significance the property holds for many team members. After Hurricane Melissa, the resort remained virtually untouched, allowing the Sandals team to turn their attention toward supporting Jamaica and its surrounding communities as the world rallied behind the island. Throughout the episode, we see how Sandals approaches moments like these—with compassion, positivity, and a genuine dedication to its people. For those considering their future visit, Clarke shares more about the stunning accommodations that await, one-of-a-kind excursions, how to make the most of their visit to the beautiful island, and how guests can give back to local communities through the Sandals Foundation.

This session will examine key considerations for leaders, senders, and international travelers/workers in the areas of duty of care, risk assessment, contingency planning, security, and common pitfalls ("lessons learned") in international mission work.

The $100 Silver Window Is Almost Gone — And This Time It Won't Reopen Watch this video at- https://youtu.be/bXIi8jBSW6Y?si=XOflk-EgU8fzw665 Money Rewind 29 subscribers 788 views Dec 4, 2025 This documentary investigates a recurring four-stage pattern in commodity markets, analyzing its potential application to the contemporary silver market. The central thesis posits that assets historically used as money often undergo a cycle of Establishment, Manipulation, Squeeze, and eventual Break of the paper derivative market. This analysis is contextualized through an examination of current market phenomena, including significant physical silver withdrawals from COMEX vaults, the suspension of silver sales by major international banks, and the presence of market backwardation—a key indicator of acute physical demand. The narrative draws parallels to major historical precedents, including the 1980 silver crisis precipitated by the Hunt brothers, the 1971 "Nixon Shock" which severed the U.S. dollar's final link to gold, and the 2001 palladium supply shock. By dissecting silver's dual role as both a historic monetary asset and an indispensable industrial commodity facing a structural supply deficit, the film argues that the modern silver market is exhibiting classic signs of the "Squeeze" phase, signaling a potential decoupling between the price of physical metal and its paper equivalents. KEY CONCEPTS The Four-Stage Market Cycle (Establishment, Manipulation, Squeeze, Break) Physical vs. Paper Assets (Commodity vs. Derivative) Market Backwardation and Contango The Hunt Brothers & Silver Thursday (1980) The Nixon Shock & The Gold Standard (1971) Silver's Dual Demand (Monetary & Industrial) Commodity Futures Markets (COMEX) Counterparty Risk in Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) Structural Supply & Demand Deficits RESEARCH & REFERENCES GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS The Coinage Act of 1965: Public Law 89-81, which eliminated silver from the United States' circulating dime and quarter-dollar coins and reduced the silver content of the half-dollar. A Study of the Silver Futures Market: A 1982 report by the Division of Economics and Education, Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), detailing the events surrounding the 1979-1980 silver market volatility. Stock Exchange Practices: Report of the Committee on Banking and Currency (The Pecora Report), 1934: A landmark investigation into the causes of the Wall Street Crash of 1929, providing historical context on market manipulation. ACADEMIC & HISTORICAL LITERATURE A Monetary History of the United States, 1867-1960 by Milton Friedman and Anna Schwartz: A foundational text on the history of U.S. monetary policy, providing critical background for understanding the abandonment of commodity-backed currency. The New Case for Gold by James Rickards: Explores the historical role of precious metals as monetary assets and the inherent instabilities of fiat currency systems.
