I'm Seth Carpenter, Morgan Stanley's Global Chief Economist and Head of Macro Research. And yesterday I sat down with my colleagues, Michael Gapen, our Chief U.S. Economist, Chetan Ahya, our Chief Asia Economist, and Jen Eisenschmidt, our Chief Europe Economist. And we spent a lot of time talking about monetary policy around the world. Today, let's go back to them, talk about the real side of the economy. It's Friday, January 23rd at 10am in New York. Jens Eisenschmidt: And 4pm in Frankfurt. Chetan Ahya: And 9pm in Hong Kong. Seth Carpenter: Michael, let me start with you, back on the U.S. And when I think about the U.S. economy, we have to start by talking about the U.S. consumer. Walk us through what investors need to understand about consumer spending in the U.S. What's driving it, what's going to hold it up, and where are the risks? Michael Gapen: I think the primary thing to remember here is that the upper income consumer drives about 40 percent or more of total spending. So, there can be higher inflation that eats into real labor market income growth. There can be inflation dispersion, which hits lower income households more than upper income households. We can have tariffs that get applied to goods and lower- and middle-income households buy goods more than upper income households. But when asset markets continue to appreciate, when home prices hold on to their prior gains, sometimes that doesn't matter in the aggregate statistics because that upper income household keeps spending.I do think that's a lot of what happened in 2025. So, there is a K-shaped economy. I think one of the main risks about the U.S. is that its expansion is narrowly driven. We think that will broaden out in 2026. If we're right, that inflation comes down and we're past, kind of, the peak effect of tariffs, then we think that lower- and middle-income household can have a little more residual spending power. And you might get the consumer operating on two fronts, rather than one. Seth Carpenter: Another part of domestic spending that gets a lot of attention is business investment spending, CapEx spending. First would you agree with that statement that CapEx spending last year was characterized by AI CapEx spending? Second, should we feel confident that that underlying sort of momentum in CapEx spending should continue for this year? And then third, what's it going to take for there to be a broadening out, maybe like what you said about consumers, but a broadening out of investment spending so that it's not just the AI story that's driving CapEx. Michael Gapen: I do agree that the primary, almost exclusive story in 2025 for business spending was AI. So, when you look at residential and non-residential spending, unrelated to AI, that I think did feel the effects of policy uncertainty in a changing environment. what keeps kind of sustainability around business spending? Obviously, it's a multi-year investment story around AI. There's a level versus growth rate argument here where you can have a heck of a lot of CapEx spending. May not always show up in GDP because some of it is intermediate goods, some of it is imported. But that doesn't diminish, I think, the quality of the overall story. What gets business spending to broaden out, I do think is related to whether consumer spending broadens out. Most business spending kind of follows demand with a lag. So, AI is a different story, but there's a cyclical component to business spending. There could be a housing related component, if mortgage rates come down and stimulate at least a little more turnover in the housing market. So, if the recovery does broaden out, we see greater real income growth in low- and middle-income households. The labor market stabilizes. Maybe mortgage rates come down a little bit, then I think you could get carry through momentum to non-AI related business spending. That would look more like a cyclical upswing for the economy. May be a heavy lift, but that's what I think it would take to get there. Seth Carpenter: So, Jens, let me come to you. We talked yesterday about the ECB possibly easing more on disinflation. But when I think of disinflation, I think of a weak economy. And that's maybe not really the case. So, I guess the first question to you would you characterize euro area economic growth as strong, or a little bit more complicated? Jens Eisenschmidt: A little bit more complicated. And that's always the right answer for an economist – I think it depends. Well, it is strong in some quarters. And these quarters will change from where it has been in the past.So concretely, we think the German economy has most potential to catch up and actually accelerate, and that's due to fiscal stimulus mainly. While we have other quarters, the French and the Italian one, which will be below potential and so weak – each of them for their own reason. And then we have the Spanish economy, which performs exceptionally and is really strong, but it's only a small part of the euro area economy. If we had everything together, I think the outlook is an economy that's accelerating mildly and only towards the end of our projection horizon, which is [20]27. So, in say two years, hits growth rates that are above potential. Here we are really talking about quarterly increments above 0.3. So, we are currently between 0.1 and 0.2. So, you sort of get the picture of a mildly accelerating economy that goes from 0.15 to 0.035 say in the span of two years. Seth Carpenter: One of the key narratives in markets is about fiscal policy in Germany, potentially driving growth. I know in equity markets it's been a key investing theme. So how excited should people be about the possibility of fiscal policy in Germany driving a resilient European economy? Jens Eisenschmidt: Pretty excited, I would say, in a sense that the positioning of the German government for its economy is actually exceptional in terms of the amount of fiscal space that exists and that has been made available. It's just that, of course, the connection of that sort of abstract excitement that we economists have to what actually happens in markets is sometimes a little bit loose; in the sense that equity [markets would like to see everything coming online tomorrow, and that's going to be a more drawn-out process. So, to my point before, it will take some time. We do have implementation lags. We do have lags in say, for instance, on defense procurement. There is maybe not as much capacity in the economy to deliver into everything. But the direction of travel is clear and up. So, from that perspective, I have no doubts that the future is better for the German economy over the medium term for all the reasons mentioned, but it won't be immediate. And we have just seen in recent headlines, Germany is the most trade exposed European economy. If we get more friction in global trade, that's not great. So, you could even have short term, more negative news on GDP than positive ones. Seth Carpenter: Chetan, I'm going to turn to you. Yesterday when we talked about Asia, we focused on Japan. But, of course, when it comes to the real side of the economy, the big mover in Asia is China.So, let's talk a little bit about how you see China evolving. What the key themes are for China. Last year in particular, we talked a lot about the deflationary cycle in China and how it was protracted. It wasn't going away. That policy was not sufficient to drive a huge surge in demand to push things away. Are we in the same place for China in 2026? What kind of growth should we expect and what sort of policy reactions should we be expecting from China? Chetan Ahya: Well, I think the macro backdrop for China we think will still be challenging in 2026. But at the same time, we expect the micro positives to continue. Now on the macro backdrop, when I say it's going to remain challenging because the number one issue that we are focused on from a macro perspective in China is deflation. Now we do expect some easing of deflationary pressures, but [the] economy will still stay in deflation in 2026. And on the micro front what we've seen is that China is emerging from a situation where it is making inroads into advanced manufacturing, and that's enabling it to increase market share in global goods exports. And it's also one of the reasons why when you see the numbers coming out from China on exports, they seem to be outperforming. Even just the latest month number as we saw, China's exports were surprising on the upside relative to market expectations. And that's the micro story – that you'll see China continuing to gain market share in global goods export. And that supports the corporate micro positive story. Seth Carpenter: We know collectively that export is a key part of China's economy. The productive capacity, as you point out, important for China. When you think about exports from China, the currency has to come in. And recently the renminbi has been appreciating. Lots of questions from clients here or there. How important is the renminbi in reflating or rebalancing the China economy? Can you walk us through a little bit some of these considerations about the role that the currency is playing now and over the next few quarters for China and its economic outlook. Chetan Ahya: Yeah, that's right, Seth. Actually, I've been getting a number of clients calling me and asking whether PBOC is going to allow a significant appreciation in RNB. We've seen it appreciate quite a lot in the last few days. And then whether this will mean China's economy will rebalance faster towards consumption. Look, on the first point, we don't think PBOC will allow a significant currency appreciation because, as I just mentioned earlier, the deflation problem is still there. It's not gone. While we see reduced deflationary pressures, as long as the economy is in deflation, it'll be very difficult for PBOC to allow significant currency appreciation. And what we are also watching on RMB is to see what is happening to the trade weighted RMB. The RMB basket, if you were to call it. That interestingly has been in a stable range since 2016, and we don't think that changes. We've learned from Japan's experience in the nineties that if you have deflation problem, you shouldn't be taking up currency appreciation. And we think PBOC pretty much follows that rule book. On the rebalancing part, look, I think when you have deflation and if currency appreciation is going to add to deflation pressures, that will mean corporate sector revenue suffers. They will actually be cutting wage growth and therefore that has a negative impact on consumption. And so, in our view, instead of helping rebalancing currency appreciation with China's current macro backdrop, we'll actually be making rebalancing more difficult. Seth Carpenter: And of course, we're used to China being a key driver of the economy, not just in Asia, but around the world. But if we think about then broadening out from China, what should we be expecting in terms of growth for the other economies in Asia? Chetan Ahya: For the other economies in the region, I think the most important driver will be what happens to exports more broadly. In 2025, Asia did benefit from better tech exports, but because of tariffs and also what was happening in the U.S. in terms of its own domestic demand, we'd seen that there was significant weakness in non-tech exports. So, from an outlook perspective in 2026, we think that that non-tech export story turns around and that will help the recovery in the region to broaden out from it just being tech exports to non-tech exports, to improvement in CapEx, job growth and consumption. So, I think that the whole region is going to see the benefit from this turnaround. But particularly the non-China part of the region will be seeing a meaningful improvement in their export growth, real GDP growth and normal GDP growth in 2026. Seth Carpenter: I'm getting ready to wrap things up. But before I do, I'm going to ask each of the three of you, one last rapid-fire question. Michael, I'm going to start with you. AI is on everyone's lips. If we were to see a rapid adoption of AI technology across all the economies. What would it mean for the Fed? Michael Gapen: Well, I think that would mean a substantial uptick in productivity growth. Maybe closer to 3 percent like we saw in the tech boom in the nineties. So faster real growth. But probably still disinflation. You can argue the Fed could even lower rates in that environment. It may take them a while to figure it out [be]cause they'd be balancing incoming data that shows a lot of strong growth. But probably further evidence that inflation's coming down. So, if it's supply side driven, then I think you could still probably get some rate cuts out of the Fed to normalize policy as inflation comes down. But I'd be thinking those cuts could even come much later. Seth Carpenter: Okay, Jens to you, a lot of discussion in the news about possible additional tariffs from the U.S. on Europe in some of the negotiations. Suppose some of the announcements, 10 percent tariffs rising to 25 percent tariffs later. Suppose those were actually put in place. What does that mean for European growth? Jens Eisenschmidt: So, I would say 10 percent additional tariffs, we have a framework for that. Pointing to drag on GDP growth somewhere between 30 and 60 basis points. So roughly half of what we think 2026 will bring in growth. Now, for sure the answer is additional tariffs are not great for growth. Big question mark here is though whether we get any retaliation from the European side, which we think this time around if we get additional tariffs from the U.S. side is more likely. And that would just increase the downside risk for Europe here from that additional round of trade or tariff uncertainty. Seth Carpenter: Chetan, I'm going to end up with you. When we think about China, when we think about policy, what do you think it would take for there to be a fundamental shift in policy out of Beijing to get a real full blown, demand driven fiscal stimulus? Or is that just not in the cards whatsoever? Chetan Ahya: Well, in our base case, we don't think that's likely to happen in our forecast horizon. But if we do get a big social stability challenge emerging in China, then we could get that big pivot from [a] policy response perspective, where policy makers move towards consumption. And our recommendation there is to boost social welfare spending, particularly targeted towards migrant workers, which could be taken up if you get that social stability risk event materializing. Seth Carpenter: Mike, Chetan, Jens, thank you so much for joining today. And for the listener, thank you for joining us.

Our Global Chief Economist Seth Carpenter joins our chief regional economists to discuss the outlook for interest rates in the U.S., Japan and Europe.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Seth Carpenter: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Seth Carpenter, Morgan Stanley's Global Chief Economist and Head of Macro Research. And today we're kicking off our quarterly economic roundtable for the year. We're going to try to think about everything that matters in economics around the world. And today we're going to focus a little bit more on central banking. And when we get to tomorrow, we'll focus on the nuts and bolts of the real side of the economy. I'm joined by our chief regional economists. Michael Gapen: Hi, Seth. I'm Mike Gapen, Chief U.S. Economist at Morgan Stanley. Chetan Ahya: I'm Chetan Ahya, Chief Asia economist. Jens Eisenschmidt: And I'm Jens Eisenschmidt, Chief Europe economist. Seth Carpenter: It's Thursday, January 22nd at 10 am in New York. Jens Eisenschmidt: And 4 pm in Frankfurt. Chetan Ahya: And 9 pm in Hong Kong. Seth Carpenter: So, Mike Gapen, let me start with you as we head into 2026, what are we thinking about? Are we going into a more stable expansion? Is this just a different phase with the same amount of volatility? What do you think is going to be happening in the U.S. as a baseline outlook? And then if we're going to be wrong, which direction would we be wrong? Michael Gapen: Yeah, Seth, we took the view that we would have more policy certainty. Recent weeks have maybe suggested we're incorrect on that front. But I still believe that when it comes to deregulation, immigration policy and fiscal policy, we have much more clarity there than we did a year ago. So, I think it's another year of modest growth, above trend growth. We're forecasting something around 2.4 percent for 2026. That's about where we finished 2025. I think what's key for markets and the outlook overall will be whether inflation comes down. Firms are still passing through tariffs to the consumer. We think that'll happen at least through the end of the first quarter. It's our view that after that, inflation pressures will start to diminish. If that's the case, then we think the Fed can execute one or two more rate cuts. But we have those coming [in] the second half of the year. So, it looks like growth is strong enough. The labor market has stabilized enough for the Fed to wait and see, to look around, see the effects of their prior rate cuts, and then push policy closer to neutral if inflation comes down. Seth Carpenter: And if we go back to last year to 2025, I will give you the credit first. Morgan Stanley did not shift its forecast for recession in the U.S. the way some of our main competitors did. On the other hand, and this is where I maybe tweak you just a little bit. We underestimated how much growth there would be in the United States. CapEx spending from AI firms was strong. Consumer spending, especially from the top half of the income distribution in the U.S. was strong. Growth overall for the year was over 2 percent, close to 2.5 percent. So, if that's what we just came off of, why isn't it the case that we'd see even stronger growth? Maybe even a re-acceleration of growth in 2026? Michael Gapen: Well, some of that, say, improvement vis-à-vis our forecast, the outperformance. Some of that I think comes mechanically from trade and inventory variability. So, . I'm not sure that that says a lot about an improving trend rate of growth. Where there was other outperformance was, as you noted, from the consumer. Now our models, and I don't mean to get too technical here, but our model suggests that consumption is overshooting its fundamentals. Which I think makes it harder for the economy to accelerate further. And then AI; it's harder for AI spending to say get incrementally stronger than where it is. So, we're getting a little extra boost from fiscal. We've got that coming through. And I just think what it is, is more of the same rather than further acceleration from here. Seth Carpenter: Do you think there's a chance that the Fed in fact does not cut rates like you have in your forecast? Michael Gapen: Yes, I do think... Where we could be wrong is we've made assumptions around the One Big Beautiful Bill and what it will contribute to the economy. But as you know, there's a lot of variability around those estimates. If the bill is more catalytic to animal spirits and business spending than we've assumed, you could get, say, a demand driven animal spirits upside to the economy, which may mean inflation doesn't decelerate all that much. But I do think that that's, say, the main upside risk that we're considering. Markets have been gradually taking out probabilities of Fed cuts as growth has come in stronger. So far, the inflation data has been positive in terms of signaling about disinflation, but I would say the jury's still out on how much that continues. Seth Carpenter: Chetan, When I think about Japan, we know that it's been the developed market central bank that's been going in the opposite direction. They've been hiking when other central banks have been cutting. We got some news recently that probably put some risk into our baseline outlook that we published in our year ahead view about both growth and inflation in Japan. And with it what the Bank of Japan is going to do in terms of its normalization. Can you just walk us through a little bit about our outlook for Japan? Because right now I think that the yen, Japanese rates, they're all part of the ongoing market narrative around the world. Chetan Ahya: Yeah, Seth. So, look, I mean, on a big picture basis, we are constructive on the Japan macro-outlook. We think normal GDP growth remains strong. We are expecting to see the transition for the consumers from them seeing, you know, supply side inflation. Keeping their real wage growth low to a dynamic where we transition to real wage growth accelerating. That supports real consumption growth, and we move away from that supply side driven inflation to demand side driven inflation. So broadly we are constructive, but I think in the backdrop, what we are seeing on currency depreciation is making things a bit more challenging for the BOJ. While we are expecting that demand side pressure to build up and drive inflation, in the trailing data, it is still pretty much currency depreciation and supply side factors like food inflation driving inflation. And so, BOJ has been hesitant. So, while we had the expectation that BOJ will hike in January of 2027, we do see the risk that they may have to take up rate hike earlier to manage the currency not getting out of hand and adding on to the inflation pressures. Seth Carpenter Would I be right in saying that up until now, the yen has swung pretty widely in both directions. But the weakening of the yen until now hasn't been really the key driver of the Bank of Japan's policy reaction. It's been growth picking up, inflation picking up, wanting to get out of negative interest rates first, wanting to get away from the zero lower bounds. Second, the weaker yen in some sense could have actually been seen as a positive up until now because Japan did go through 25 years of essentially stagnant nominal growth. Is this actually that much of a fundamental change in the Bank of Japan's thinking – needing to react to the weakness of the yen? Chetan Ahya: Broadly what you're saying is right, Seth, but there is also a threshold of where the currency can be. And beyond a point, it begins to hurt the households in form of imported inflation pressures. And remember that inflation has been somewhat high, even if it is driven by currency depreciation and supply side factors for some time. And so, BOJ has to be watchful of potential lift in inflation expectations for the households. And at the same time, they are also watching the underlying inflation impact of this currency depreciation – because what we have seen is that over period workers have been demanding for higher wages. And that is also influenced by what happens to headline inflation, which is driven by currency depreciation. So, I would say that, yes, it's been true up until now. But, when currency reaches these very high levels of range, you are going to see BOJ having to act. Seth Carpenter: Jens, let's shift then to Europe. The ECB had been on a cutting cycle. They came to the end of that. President Lagarde said that she thought the disinflationary process had ended. In your year ahead forecast and a bunch of your writing recently, you've said maybe not so fast. There could still be some more disinflationary, at least risk, in the pipeline for Europe. Can you talk a little bit about what's going on in terms of European inflation and what it could mean for the European Central Bank? Because clearly that's going to be first order important for markets.Jens Eisenschmidt: I think that is right. I think we have a crucial inflation print ahead of us that comes out on the 4th of February. So, early February we get some signal, whether our anticipated fall of headline inflation here below the ECB's target is actually materializing. We think the chances for this are pretty good. There's a mix why this is happening. One is energy. Energy disinflation and base effects. But the other thing is services inflation resets always at the beginning of the year. January and February are the crucial month here. We had significant services upward pressure on prices the last years. And so just from base effects, we think we will see less of that. Another picture or another element of that picture is that wage disinflation is proceeding nicely. We have notably a significant weakness in the export-oriented manufacturing sector in Germany, which is a key sector of setting wages for the country. The country is around 30 percent of the euro area GDP. And here we had seen significant wage gains over the last year. So, the disinflationary trend coming from lower wage gains from this country, that will be very important. And an important signal to watch. Again, that's something we don't know. I think soon we have to watch simply monthly prints here. But a significant print for the first quarter comes out in May, and all of that together makes us believe that the ECB will be in a position to see enough data or have seen enough data that confirms the thesis of inflation staying below target for some time to come. So that they can cut in June and September to a terminal rate of 1.5 percent. Seth Carpenter: That is, I would say, out of consensus relative where the market is. When you talk to investors, whether they're in Europe or around the world, what's the big pushback that you get from them when you are explaining your view on how the ECB is going to act? Jens Eisenschmidt: There are two essential pushbacks. So, one is on substance. So, 'No, actually wages will not come down, and the economy will actually start overheating soon because of the big fiscal stimulus.' That, in a nutshell is the pushback on substance. I would say here, as you would say before, not so fast. Because the fiscal stimulus is only in one country. It's 30 percent. But only 30 percent of the euro area.Plus, there is another pushback, which is on the reaction function of the ECB. Here we tend to agree. So far, we have heard from policy makers that they feel rather comfortable with the 2 percent rate level that they're at. But we think that discussion will change. The moment you are below target in an actual inflation print; the burden of proof is the opposite. Now you have to prove: Is the economy really on a track that inflation will get back up to target without further monetary stimulus? We believe that will be the key debate. And again, happy to, sort of, concede that there is for now not a lot of signaling out of the ECB that further rate cuts are coming. But we believe the first inflation print of the year will change that debate significantly. Seth Carpenter: Alright, so that makes a lot of sense. However, looking at the clock, we are probably out of time for today. So, for now, Michael, Chetan, Jens, thank you so much for joining today. And to the listener, thanks for listening. And be sure to tune in tomorrow for part two of our conversation. And I have to say, if you enjoy this show, please leave us a review wherever you listen and share Thoughts on the Market with a friend or a colleague today.

In dieser Folge von Mikroökonom beschäftigen sich die Moderatoren Marco Herack und Jens mit drei Hauptthemen, beginnend mit der Kontroverse um digitale Trinkgelder. Marco äußert seine Ablehnung gegenüber dem zunehmenden Druck, bei digitalen Transaktionen Trinkgeld zu geben, und argumentiert, dass dies eher einer Forderung als einer Wahl gleichkomme. Er hebt die psychologischen Auswirkungen dieses Trends hervor, insbesondere wie er sich auf das Kundenerlebnis und die Wahrnehmung der Dienstleistung auswirkt. Die Diskussion geht in eine breitere Analyse der Trinkgeldkultur in Deutschland über, wo sie die Auswirkungen steigender Preise und des Mindestlohns auf das Trinkgeldverhalten untersuchen und einen Rückgang dieser Praxis in verschiedenen Dienstleistungsbranchen aufzeigen. Das Gespräch wendet sich dann der politischen Landschaft in den USA zu und konzentriert sich auf Donald Trumps Strategien im Vorfeld der Zwischenwahlen. Jens skizziert Trumps Versuche, die wirtschaftlichen Bedingungen zu manipulieren, um sein Image zu stärken, darunter der Druck auf die Federal Reserve, die Zinssätze zu senken, und das Eintreten für niedrigere Kreditkartenzinsen. Die Moderatoren diskutieren die Auswirkungen dieser Maßnahmen auf die Wirtschaft und die möglichen Folgen für die amerikanischen Verbraucher und betonen dabei den transaktionalen Charakter von Trumps Regierungsstil. Insgesamt bietet die Folge eine kritische Betrachtung sowohl der Trinkgeldkultur als auch der politischen Manöver im Kontext wirtschaftlicher Zwänge. In dieser Folge tauchen Marco Herack und Jens in die Komplexität der US-Politik ein und konzentrieren sich dabei insbesondere auf die Auswirkungen von Trumps Außenpolitik und die bevorstehenden Zwischenwahlen. Sie diskutieren die gemischten Gefühle der Wähler gegenüber Trumps Maßnahmen, insbesondere unter evangelikalen Gruppen, und die möglichen Auswirkungen von Taktiken zur Unterdrückung von Wählern auf das Engagement der Demokraten. Das Gespräch wendet sich dann wirtschaftlichen Themen zu, wobei sie die aktuelle Lage der US-Wirtschaft, die Inflation und die Rolle der Federal Reserve unter Trumps Einfluss analysieren. Sie äußern sich skeptisch über die Nachhaltigkeit des Wirtschaftswachstums und die Risiken einer übermäßigen Abhängigkeit von Konjunkturmaßnahmen, die zu einem Vertrauensverlust in Finanzinstitute führen könnten. Die Diskussion geht dann über zur Gig Economy, insbesondere zu den jüngsten Änderungen der Mindestlohngesetze für Lieferfahrer in New York. Marco hebt die unbeabsichtigten Folgen dieser Gesetze hervor, wie z. B. einen Rückgang der Trinkgelder und eine Verringerung der aktiven Fahrer, während Jens die weiterreichenden Auswirkungen auf Gig-Economy-Plattformen betont. Sie schließen mit Überlegungen zur sich wandelnden Natur von Arbeit und Vergütung im digitalen Zeitalter und betonen die Notwendigkeit eines tieferen Verständnisses dafür, wie sich diese Veränderungen sowohl auf Arbeitnehmer als auch auf Verbraucher auswirken. (Zusammenfassung von Riverside AI)
Erneut droht Donald Trump europäischen Ländern mit Zöllen. Wie wirkt sich das auf die Finanzmärkte aus? Diese sind mit Euphorie ins neue Jahr gestartet. Droht nun eine Kurskorrektur? Der Börsenkorrespondent Jens Korte ist zu Gast im Tagesgespräch mit Simone Hulliger. Die Finanzmärkte wirken zurzeit wie aus Teflon. Trotz militärischer Konflikte oder steigenden Staatsschulden verzeichnen sie Höchststände, ein Allzeithoch jagte anfangs Jahr das nächste. Woher kommt diese Zuversicht? Spiegeln die Börsen überhaupt noch das Befinden der realen Wirtschaft wider? Und was könnte die Party auf den Finanzmärkten beenden? Jens Korte berichtet seit 1999 von der Wallstreet in New York, auch für Radio und Fernsehen SRF.

Story Transcript:Da: Snefnug gled stille ned fra himlen.En: Snowflakes floated silently down from the sky.Da: Tivoli Gardens i København var dækket af et tykt lag sne, der gjorde stedet både magisk og stille.En: Tivoli Gardens in København was covered with a thick layer of snow, making the place both magical and quiet.Da: Mikkel, Sofie og Jens havde besluttet sig for at tage en tur gennem haven.En: Mikkel, Sofie, and Jens had decided to take a walk through the gardens.Da: Det var lige efter nytåret, og de ville nyde de smukke vinterlandskaber og de glitrende lys, der kæmpede for at trænge igennem sneens tæppe.En: It was just after New Year's, and they wanted to enjoy the beautiful winter landscapes and the sparkling lights struggling to pierce through the snow's blanket.Da: Mikkel, altid nysgerrig, ledte gruppen.En: Mikkel, always curious, led the group.Da: Han pegede ivrigt på hver afkrog af haven, mens Sofie, hans praktiske søster, knipsede billeder af snefnuggene, der landede yndefuldt i hendes hånd.En: He eagerly pointed out every nook of the garden while Sofie, his practical sister, snapped photos of the snowflakes gracefully landing in her hand.Da: Jens, der holdt sig lidt i baggrunden, smilede for sig selv og holdt øje med sine venner.En: Jens, who kept a bit in the background, smiled to himself and watched over his friends.Da: Men pludselig blev den rolige dag afbrudt.En: But suddenly, the peaceful day was interrupted.Da: Sneen faldt tungere, og en voldsom snestorm tog til.En: The snow fell heavier, and a violent snowstorm picked up.Da: I det kaos forsvandt Sofie pludselig fra Mikkel og Jens' synsfelt.En: In the chaos, Sofie suddenly vanished from Mikkel and Jens' view.Da: "Hvor er Sofie?"En: "Where is Sofie?"Da: råbte Mikkel fortvivlet, idet han kiggede rundt i det hvide landskab.En: Mikkel shouted in despair, looking around in the white landscape.Da: Hans hjerte bankede hårdt, og en frygt for at miste hende voksede indeni ham.En: His heart pounded, and a fear of losing her grew inside him.Da: Mikkel vidste, at han måtte finde sin søster.En: Mikkel knew he had to find his sister.Da: Med Jens ved sin side kæmpede han sig igennem den tætte sne.En: With Jens by his side, he fought his way through the thick snow.Da: "Vi må finde tegn," sagde Jens, altid knivskarp og opmærksom.En: "We must find signs," said Jens, always sharp and attentive.Da: Han opdagede en række spor, der førte væk fra stien.En: He spotted a trail of footprints leading away from the path.Da: Det var Sofies små skoaftryk.En: They were Sofie's small shoe prints.Da: De fulgte disse spor, indtil de stod foran en stor port, som de aldrig havde set før.En: They followed these prints until they stood in front of a large gate they had never seen before.Da: Selvom det gav Mikkel en snurrende følelse i maven, besluttede han at gå videre.En: Although it gave Mikkel a nervous feeling in his stomach, he decided to go on.Da: Jens nikkede opmuntrende.En: Jens nodded encouragingly.Da: Sammen åbnede de porten og trådte ind i hemmeligheden bag.En: Together they opened the gate and stepped into the secret behind it.Da: Inde bag porten fandt de en skjult passage.En: Behind the gate, they found a hidden passage.Da: Det var mørkt, men sporene fortsatte.En: It was dark, but the tracks continued.Da: Mikkel trak vejret dybt.En: Mikkel took a deep breath.Da: Hans beslutning om at fortsætte, trods frygten, gav ham en ny styrke.En: His decision to keep going, despite the fear, gave him newfound strength.Da: Med Jens' trofaste ledsagelse bevægede de sig fremad.En: With Jens' faithful companionship, they moved forward.Da: Endelig, i slutningen af passagen, fandt de Sofie.En: Finally, at the end of the passage, they found Sofie.Da: Hun stod der, fanget i en lille hule, men heldigvis uskadt.En: She stood there, trapped in a small cave, but fortunately unharmed.Da: "Jeg gled væk i stormen," forklarede hun med en lettet stemme.En: "I slipped away in the storm," she explained with a relieved voice.Da: Mikkel følte en boblende glæde indeni.En: Mikkel felt a bubbling joy inside.Da: Han havde fundet hende, trods sin frygt.En: He had found her, despite his fear.Da: På vej tilbage gennem Tivoli Gardens følte Mikkel sig ændret.En: On the way back through Tivoli Gardens, Mikkel felt changed.Da: Han forstod nu vigtigheden af at have venner som Jens, der kunne støtte ham, og han lærte, at han kunne overvinde sin frygt.En: He now understood the importance of having friends like Jens, who could support him, and he learned that he could overcome his fear.Da: Sneen dryssede stadig over haverne, men inden i Mikkel skinnede en ny selvtillid.En: The snow still dusted over the gardens, but inside Mikkel, a new confidence shone.Da: Da de forlod haven, så de alle op mod den stille nattehimmel.En: As they left the garden, they all looked up at the quiet night sky.Da: Det var en oplevelse, de aldrig ville glemme.En: It was an experience they would never forget.

Transcript:Da: I en sneklædt Kongens Have i København samledes folk for at fejre nytårsaften.En: In a snow-covered Kongens Have in København, people gathered to celebrate New Year's Eve.Da: Lysene glimtede i træerne, og den kolde luft fyldtes med musik og latter fra scenen.En: The lights twinkled in the trees, and the cold air was filled with music and laughter from the stage.Da: Freja gik alene gennem sneen, hendes åndedrag svævede som små skyer foran hendes ansigt.En: Freja walked alone through the snow, her breath hovering like small clouds in front of her face.Da: Hun var ankommet tidligt, håbede på, at denne aften ville bringe hende den klarhed, hun søgte.En: She had arrived early, hoping that this evening would bring her the clarity she sought.Da: Freja var i slutningen af tyverne.En: Freja was in her late twenties.Da: Hun arbejdede i et kontorjob, der ikke længere inspirerede hende.En: She worked in an office job that no longer inspired her.Da: Hendes skjulte passion var at male.En: Her hidden passion was painting.Da: Lærreder og pensler kaldte på hende, men tanken om økonomisk usikkerhed og familiens forventninger holdt hende fast.En: Canvases and brushes called to her, but the thought of financial uncertainty and family expectations held her back.Da: Da hun stod foran scenen, gik hendes tanker tilbage til tidligere nytårsaftener sammen med familien.En: As she stood in front of the stage, her thoughts went back to previous New Year's Eves with her family.Da: Varme, trygge, men fastlåste.En: Warm, safe, but stuck.Da: Kunne hun virkelig tage chancen og følge sin drøm?En: Could she really take the chance and follow her dream?Da: Mens hun tænkte, opdagede hun en kendt skikkelse blandt mængden.En: As she pondered, she discovered a familiar figure among

had always inspired her.Da: "Freja!"En: "Freja!"Da: råbte Jens og vinkede til hende.En: shouted Jens, waving to her.Da: "Godt at se dig!"En: "Good to see you!"Da: De omfavnede hinanden, og Jens' smittende humør lettede Frejas tunge tanker.En: They embraced, and Jens' infectious mood lightened Freja's heavy thoughts.Da: De talte om gamle tider og drømme.En: They talked about old times and dreams.Da: Jens kunne se uro i hendes øjne.En: Jens could see the worry in her eyes.Da: "Hvad bekymrer dig?"En: "What troubles you?"Da: spurgte han.En: he asked.Da: Freja tøvede kort, men så fortalte hun om sin længsel efter at male og sin frygt for at tage springet.En: Freja hesitated briefly but then told him about her longing to paint and her fear of taking the leap.Da: Jens lyttede opmærksomt og sagde: "Du har et stort talent, Freja.En: Jens listened attentively and said, "You have great talent, Freja.Da: Vi lever kun én gang.En: We only live once.Da: Nogle gange skal vi tage risici for at finde vores lykke."En: Sometimes we must take risks to find our happiness."Da: Deres samtale blev afbrudt af de første toner fra koncerten.En: Their conversation was interrupted by the first notes from the concert.Da: Musikken fyldte luften og bragte liv til haven.En: The music filled the air and brought life to the garden.Da: Freja følte en gnist af håb.En: Freja felt a spark of hope.Da: Jens' ord rungede i hendes sind, og mens scenen lyste op i farver, besluttede hun sig.En: Jens' words echoed in her mind, and as the stage lit up in colors, she made her decision.Da: "Jeg gør det, Jens," sagde Freja.En: "I'm going to do it, Jens," Freja said.Da: "Jeg vil forfølge min passion."En: "I will pursue my passion."Da: Jens smilede bredt.En: Jens smiled broadly.Da: "Jeg vidste, du kunne."En: "I knew you could."Da: Da klokken nærmede sig midnat, sluttede Freja sig til mængden, der ivrigt talte ned til det nye år.En: As the clock approached midnight, Freja joined the crowd eagerly counting down to the new year.Da: Fyrværkeri lyste himlen op, mens nytåret bragte ny begyndelse.En: Fireworks lit up the sky as the New Year brought a new beginning.Da: Freja følte en rolig beslutsomhed over sig.En: Freja felt a calm determination over her.Da: På vej hjem gennem det stille, sneklædte København, mærkede Freja, hvordan beslutningen fyldte hende med styrke.En: On her way home through the quiet, snow-covered København, Freja felt how the decision filled her with strength.Da: Hun vidste, at vejen ikke ville være let, men hun følte sig klar.En: She knew the path wouldn't be easy, but she felt ready.Da: Kunstens verden ventede, og Freja var klar til at træde ind i den.En: The world of art awaited, and Freja was ready to step into it.Da: Det nye år startede med mulighed, og Freja var klar til at male sin egen fremtid.En: The New Year started with possibility, and Freja was ready to paint her own future.

Jens Neuse grew up in Germany, originally planning to be a carpenter. In his 2nd year as an apprentice, he was in a motorcycle wreck that thrust him into a process of surgery and healing. Eventually, he decided he wouldn't be doing carpentry, and got into sysadmin work. Once he got bored with this, he moved into startups, learned how to code, and starting digging into programming, API's and eventually - GraphQL federation. Outside of tech, he is married with 3 young kids. He loves to sit ski on the mountain - which is the coolest carbon fiber chair on a ski, where you steer with your knees and hips.After chasing building a better Apollo, Jens and his team ran into a point where their prior product and company was doomed to go under. When they accepted this fact, they started to think about what people actually wanted - and started to dig into the federation of GraphQL.This is the creation story of Wundergraph.SponsorsIncogniNordProtectVentionCodeCrafters helps you become a better engineer by building real-world, production-grade projects.

Leute, frohe Weihnachten und einen guten Rutsch !!! Wir hören uns im neuen Jahr. Zum Abschluss des Jahrs 2025 blicken wir auf den letzten Spieltag und besonders auf Szenen mit Adeyemi, Jens Stage, Elfmeter in Wolfsburg, Schiedsrichterkritik von Ole Werner und David Raum sowie die angeblichen 6 Tore in einem Spiel von Dieter Müller. Viel Spass
Die Bundesliga macht Winterpause und wir nutzen den Rückblick auf den 15. Spieltag für eine kleine Bilanz: Wer waren Spieler, Trainer und Fans des Halbjahres? Jens und Alex bauen sich den „perfekten“ Club der vergangenen Monate. Dabei schauen wir natürlich auch auf die Highlights des 15. Spieltags zurück. Ist Harry Kane aktuell sogar der beste Stürmer Europas? Mit seinem Tor beim Sieg des FC Bayern München in Heidenheim erreichte er die unglaubliche Marke von 100 Torbeteiligungen in der Bundesliga – im gerade mal 78. Spiel. Borussia Dortmund bleibt sich auch zum Ende des Jahres 2025 treu: das Spiel gegen Borussia Mönchengladbach ist nicht spektakulär aber erfolgreich. Statistisch sticht dabei Nico Schlotterbeck erneut heraus. Ist er aktuell der beste Dortmunder? Und wer sticht bei RB Leipzig und Bayer Leverkusen heraus? Bayer gewinnt das Topspiel ohne seine Africa-Cup-Stars auf überzeugende Art und Weise. Deutlich weniger Spektakel gab es auf diversen anderen Plätzen – drei Mal 0:0 bei Stuttgart gegen Hoffenheim, Augsburg gegen Werder und Mainz gegen St. Pauli. Es schaffen trotzdem Spieler der Teams in den „perfekten“ Club des Halbjahres von Alex und Jens. Und wer ist von Eintracht Frankfurt, die sich auf der letzten Rille gegen den HSV zum Remis gemüht hat, dabei? Von den Hamburgern hat sich zum Beispiel mal wieder Luka Vuskovic in den Vordergrund gespielt. Wird er in einem „perfekten“ Team stehen? Die Antworten auf diese Fragen gibt es in der aktuellen Folge des Bundesliga Updates. Viel Spaß beim Hören – und vielen Dank fürs Dabei sein! Habt alle schöne und erholsame Weihnachtstage und startet gut ins Jahr 2026!
Snak-Lytter Cem kaldte Star Maker “storslået, tidskrævende, men mindblowing”. Han havde ret på alle tre punkter. Storslået? Absolut. Syret? Uden tvivl. Men også en rigtig hård mundfuld at komme igennem. Fra lyngbakke til galaktisk bevidsthed Bogen starter forbløffende jordnært. En unavngiven englænder sidder en aften i 1937 på en bakke og betragter stjernerne, mens han tænker på sit liv og sit ægteskab. Hans kone sidder inde i det oplyste hus. Men så sker der noget radikalt: Hans bevidsthed løsriver sig fra kroppen, og pludselig kan han se gennem jorden – gennem klipperne, gennem planetens kerne – og ud i kosmos. “Looking down, I seemed to see through a transparent planet, through heather and solid rock, through the buried graveyards of vanished species, down through the molten flow of basalt, and on into the earth’s core of iron. But our home had vanished with the whole suburb, and the hills too, and the sea.” Her begynder den mest ekstreme kosmiske rejse i science fiction-historien. Først tilbringer hovedpersonen lang tid alene i det tomme rum, deprimeret og ensom. Men så opdager han The Other Earth – en planet befolket med menneskelignende væsener, der har lange ben, flade hoveder, og som lugter gennem hænderne. De har ikke meget musik, men til gengæld har de duftradio, hvor man kan opleve andres seksuelle oplevelser gennem lugten. Ja, det er præcis så syret, som det lyder. “In compensation, scent and taste developed amazingly. These beings tasted not only with their mouths, but with their moist black hands and with their feet. They were thus afforded an extraordinarily rich and intimate experience of their planet.” Hovedpersonen opdager, at han kan glide ind i de fremmedes hoveder. Han bosætter sig i kraniet på en halskør filosof ved navn Bvallthu, og gradvist smelter de sammen til en fælles personlighed. Fra denne sammensmelting vokser noget langt større. Hive minds, intelligente stjerner og kosmisk teambuilding Stapledon stopper ikke ved én planet. Nej nej. Vores hovedperson møder plantemennesker, insektlignende sværme (hvor enkeltindividet er dumt, men sværmen udgør en intelligens), symbiontiske krabber og edderkopper. Og – naturligvis – intelligente stjerner, der ikke bare kredser om den galaktiske kerne, men faktisk danser og kommunikerer med hinanden i kosmisk poesi. Hele tiden udvides den kollektive bevidsthed. Først én planet. Så flere. Så hele galakser. Stapledon bruger disse møder til at reflektere over civilisationers cykliske udviklinger. Igen og igen ser vi samfund, der når et vist niveau af udvikling, hvorefter det hele bryder sammen i konflikt og krig, og de må starte forfra. Stapledon – filosof, pacifist og ambulancefører under Første Verdenskrig – havde tydeligvis nogle meninger om 1930’ernes Europa. Duftradio-beskrivelserne lugter af propaganda-kritik. Men alle disse civilisationer, alle disse møder, peger mod ét mål. Mødet med den kolde skaber Bogens klimaks er mødet med Star Maker – universets skaber. Men det er ikke et kærligt, varmt møde med en omsorgsfuld gud. Nej, Star Maker betragter sit kosmos med den kliniske interesse, en kunstner har for sit værk. Han noterer fejlene. Føler ingen stolthed. For det her kosmos er bare ét eksperiment i en lang række. Star Maker er stadig i udvikling – fra baby-starmaker, der lavede legetøjsuniverser (ét univers bestod kun af musik uden rumlige dimensioner!), til mester-starmaker, der skaber stadigt mere komplekse kosmosser. Vores univers? Meh, et mellemstadie med “irrevocable flaws”. “For I had been confronted not by welcoming and kindly love, but by a very different spirit. It seemed to me that he gazed down on me from the height of his divinity with the aloof though passionate attention of an artist judging his finished work, calmly rejoicing in its achievement, but recognizing at last the irrevocable flaws.” En teologisk vision, både fascinerende og foruroligende. C.S. Lewis hadede den så meget, at han kaldte den “amoralsk” og skrev sin Space Trilogy som modsvar. Men Arthur C. Clarke elskede den og kaldte den den mest indflydelsesrige bog i sit liv. Efter mødet vender vores hovedperson tilbage til bakken, til lyngen, til konen i huset. Men nu med et radikalt ændret perspektiv på menneskehedens plads i kosmos. Og hans kone? Hun må have været bekymret. Han har været væk i milliarder af år – selvom der kun er gået et øjeblik. En bog der ikke er en bog Stapledon skriver selv i forordet, at bogen “by the standards of the novel, is remarkably bad. In fact, it is no novel at all.” Og han har ret. Intet plot. Ingen karakterudvikling. Ingen dialog. Bare en filosofisk meditation, en kosmisk traktat, en 300 siders stream of consciousness. Sproget er tungt – næsten 100 år gammelt og tit vanskeligt at følge. Som Anders siger: “Det føltes som en bog, der var skrevet 100 år før den faktisk blev skrevet.” Gang på gang beskriver Stapledon nye planeter, nye racer, nye samfund – som alle gennemgår de samme cyklusser. På et tidspunkt begynder man at skimme. Anders indrømmer blankt, at han “skimmede 10-20 sider ad gangen” gennem store dele af bogen. Men den er også fuld af idéer, som formede science fiction: Hive minds, galaktiske imperier, intelligente stjerner, telepatisk kommunikation, multivers-teorier. Kim Stanley Robinson sagde det bedst: “Every few pages contain all the material of an ordinary science fiction novel, condensed to something like prose poetry.” Vurderingen Jens: ⭐ (én stjerne). “Jeg havde ikke læst den færdig, hvis det ikke var for Sci-Fi Snak. Det er simpelthen killeren på en bog. Jeg kan godt se, at der ligger kvaliteter i den, men den er utrolig træls og langsomt skrevet. Jeg havde absencer, mens jeg læste.” Anders: ⭐⭐ (to stjerner – men med et spaltet sind). “De første 100 sider var smukke og poetiske. Den 17-årige hippie Anders indeni mig blev vakt til live af den kropsløse bevidsthedsrejse i kosmos. Men så blev det repetitivt. Jeg var tæt på at forsvinde helt ud af bogen.” En bog for alle? Næppe. “Hvis ikke jeg var 100% sikker på, at Henning allerede havde læst den, så ville jeg nok anbefale den til Henning,” griner Anders. Men hvis du er forfatter og leder efter idéer? Så er Star Maker en idébank uden lige. Arthur C. Clarke, Asimov, Le Guin og Kim Stanley Robinson lod sig alle inspirere. Og hvis du vil have en special science fiction-oplevelse – lidt spirituel filosofi, lidt mind-blowing kosmisk vision, lidt Iron Man læseoplevelse – så kan Star Maker være noget for dig. Jens og Anders har SCIFI SNAKKET Star Maker. Shownotes til episoden om Star Maker Siden sidst Jens Er totalt gået i Mick Herron-læsemode og læser spionthrillers Ser Pluribus på Apple TV – “Jeg er så glad for den, jeg næsten kan finde på at stå lidt tidligere op fredag morgen for at se et afsnit” Anders Har læst Dream Hotel af Laila Lalami – en bog om predictive policing og AI-drevne drømmeanalyser Hovedpersonen bliver tilbageholdt på et “opbevaringshotel” for folk, der måske vil begå forbrydelser i fremtiden (kafkask, men underholdende) Har læst Quantum of Menace af Vaseem Khan – en thriller om Q fra James Bond-universet Ser også Pluribus – “Den er crazy god” Lytternes input Fra Goodreads: Steen spørger om lydbogstjenester til bilkørsel. E-reolen og Libby har gratis biblioteksmaterialer (danske og engelske). Mofibo har et stort sci-fi-katalog. Og så er der selvfølgelig Audible. Julerabat fra Science Fiction Cirklen: Lise tilbyder en decemberrabat på den danske udgave af Stjernemageren – 200 kr. i stedet for 298 kr. Det er faktisk ret fedt, at den findes på dansk! (sciencefiction.dk) Rettelse: David Mondrup, som anbefalede Zoi, er ikke Jane Mondrups mand – de er fætter og kusine. Undskyld, David! (Episode 99 af LæsDen! handler i øvrigt om Zoi) Mail fra Søren Bjørn-Hansen: Søren skrev fra sit sygeleje, hvor Sci-Fi Snak var “en tryg favn når febervildelserne raser”. Han gav input om Arthur C. Clarke og geostationære satellitter – Clarke skrev om kommunikationssatellitter i Wireless World i 1945 og forudså atomdrevne raketter inden for 20 år. Sådan gik det ikke helt. Søren foreslog også, at vi læser James Coreys The Mercy of Gods (den nye bog fra teamet bag Expanse-serien). Næste gang Anders vælger: Naomi Aldermans The Future (2023) – en nærfremtids-thriller om tech-milliardærer, der får en advarsel fra deres predictive software: apokalypsen er på vej, og de skal ned i deres hemmelige bunkere. Samtidig følger vi Lai Zhen, der pludselig bliver jagtet af en lejemorder og kun overlever takket være mystisk software på hendes telefon. Margaret Atwood kalder den “gripping”. Lauren Beukes: “A little Atwood, a little Gibson, all Alderman, it’s brilliant.” Alistair Reynolds: “A rollicking, fun-packed thriller.” Vi håber på en page-turner efter Stapledons filosofiske sejtrækker. Bonus-anbefaling: Se Guillermo del Toros nye filmatisering af Frankenstein på Netflix – der skulle være ret bognær. Måske vender vi tilbage til det senere.

The CoCreate Work Podcast | Work. Culture. Personal Development.
La'Kita shares her favorite podcast episodes from 2025—the ones that taught her something new, challenged her thinking, and offered frameworks she immediately put into practice. All episodes feature guests (a nod to the power of co-creation), and each brings lessons on bold leadership, thinking bigger, and living authentically.Coming next: Chloe's top TikTok creators of 2025.Episode 1: How to 10X Your Life by Doing Less, Not MorePodcast: She's So Lucky with Les AlfredGuest: Rachel RogersRachel shares her personal grief story and talks about 10X thinking—instead of asking "how do I double this?" ask "what would it take to 10X this?" A shift from incremental growth to exponential possibility.Also covered: The "who, not how" principle. When you get stuck on how to do something, you're asking the wrong question. The right question is who can help you do this?Key question: What would the 10X version of your 2026 goal look like?Episode 2: Make Better Decisions FasterPodcast: The Jasmine Star ShowGuest: Dr. Alan BarnardLa'Kita immediately re-listened to this episode and sent it to five people. The frameworks are that good.The 100 Initiative Exercise: List everything demanding your attention. Ask: how does this help me achieve my one big goal? Most things won't. Get ruthlessly clear about what actually moves you forward."It's Impossible Unless": When someone says something is impossible, respond with "It's impossible unless..." and let the silence sit. This moves subconscious limitations into conscious problem-solving.Episode 3: The Danger of A B Plus LifePodcast: Becoming You with Suzy WelchSuzy emphasizes how easy it is to get caught up in a B+ life. If you're at a C or C- life, you'll feel urgency for change. But if you're in a B+ life, you might feel comfortable enough not to push yourself toward what you really want.The 85th Birthday Question: What would make you cry from regret on your 85th birthday? If you didn't take the risk, didn't accept the challenge, what would haunt you? If there's an answer, you might be living a B+ life.Episode 4: Love, Family and Business: How To Work With a PartnerPodcast: Aspire with Emma GredeGuest: Jens GredeEmma and Jens are life partners who also work together in business (both involved with SKIMS and Good American). They talk about managing busy lives, family, and business partnership—acknowledging nothing is perfect.Key principle on decision-making: Whoever cares most or has the most knowledge makes the final decision. You can have debate and friction (which is valuable), but ultimately you need role clarity and respect for expertise.On anxiety: Jens shares his experience with anxiety, how he processes it, how he's learned to leverage it as a superpower, and how he takes care when it becomes overwhelming.Episode 5: America Is at a Breaking Point and I'm Deeply Concerned About the State of the CountryPodcast: The Diary of a CEO with Steven BartlettGuest: Kamala HarrisKamala Harris brings transparency and vulnerability in telling her own story post-election.Core principle (from her mother): "Don't let anyone tell you who you are. You tell them who you are." She decided it was important to control her own narrative: "History is going to write about the 107 days, and I'm not going to let that history be told without my voice being present."On confidence: When you walk in the room, put your chin up, shoulders back, and remind yourself that you belong in any room you're in. You have something to contribute.Closing ThoughtsAll five episodes demonstrate the power of co-creation—great hosts bring their own story but leverage their curiosity to bring out the magic in others.Your turn: What is your "it's impossible unless" question?ResourcesValues Bridge AssessmentAs always, thank you for your leadershipResources:Navigating a big transition?

In this episode of Chasing Leviathan, PJ talks with Dr. Jens Zimmermann about Christian humanism and what it means to understand humanity through Christ.Their conversation explores the dualism that often divides faith and reason, how Neoplatonism shaped Christian thought, and why Bonhoeffer saw the incarnation as the key to recovering a truly human life. Zimmermann examines the limits of modern science and technology, the tension between individual freedom and the common good, and how education can better reflect the embodied, holistic nature of human existence. He also highlights the church's role in embodying the new humanity Christ represents and the value of engaging deeply with philosophy and theology.Whether you're interested in Bonhoeffer, theology, Christian humanism, or the intersection of faith and culture, this discussion offers a rich invitation to think more deeply about what helps—and hinders—human flourishing.Make sure to check out Dr. Zimmermann's book: Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Christian Humanism

What begins as a conversation about preservation and history quickly turns into a deep dive into unexplained encounters, lingering spirits, and the emotional weight carried by a building that once held pain, punishment, and forgotten stories. The Gilchrist County Jail, built in the early 1900s, has stood for generations as a symbol of justice, confinement, and human suffering. Patrick shares the rich history of the jail—who was housed there, how prisoners lived, and how the building transitioned from an active jail to a historical site. But as many paranormal investigators know, places with intense emotional energy rarely fall silent when their official purpose ends. During the interview, Patrick recounts firsthand paranormal experiences reported by staff, visitors, and investigators alike. From unexplained footsteps echoing down empty cell blocks to voices heard when no one else is present, the activity inside the jail appears intelligent, persistent, and deeply tied to its past. Objects moving, cold spots, and shadow figures are all part of the jail's unsettling reputation. Joe and Jen also explore the emotional side of investigating historic locations like this one. Patrick speaks openly about the responsibility that comes with preserving not only the building, but the stories of the people who lived and died there. The conversation touches on respect for the dead, ethical investigation practices, and why some spirits may choose to remain behind. As the discussion unfolds, the team examines whether the jail's activity could be residual energy replaying traumatic moments—or something far more aware. Patrick offers insight into moments that made him question what he thought he knew about the paranormal, including experiences that occurred in broad daylight and in the presence of multiple witnesses. This episode is a must-listen for fans of haunted jails, historical hauntings, and real-world paranormal investigations. Whether you're a skeptic, believer, or somewhere in between, the stories coming out of the Historical Gilchrist County Jail will leave you questioning what truly remains when the doors finally close. Listen now and step inside a place where history never stopped speaking. Welcome to the 222 Paranormal Podcast, your gateway to the captivating world of the supernatural.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: A Christmas in København: From Conflict to Heartfelt Reunion Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-12-13-23-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: Det var en kold vinteraften i København, sneen dalede stille ned udenfor, og indenfor i den lille stue duftede det af gran og nylavet risalamande.En: It was a cold winter evening in København.Da: Astrid, den ældste i flokken, havde anstrengt sig for at skabe den perfekte jul med alle de traditioner, hun elskede.En: The snow was gently falling outside, and inside the small living room, it smelled of pine and freshly made risalamande.Da: Men julepynten og den hyggelige atmosfære kunne ikke skjule spændingen mellem hendes brødre, Jens og Mikkel.En: Astrid, the oldest of the group, had made an effort to create the perfect Christmas with all the traditions she loved.Da: Jens, den mellemste, sad i sofaen med en kop gløgg, mens han fnyste ad en kommentar Mikkel lige havde kastet.En: But the Christmas decorations and cozy atmosphere couldn't hide the tension between her brothers, Jens and Mikkel.Da: Mikkel, den yngste, følte sig ofte overset og tog enhver mulighed for at provokere Jens.En: Jens, the middle one, was sitting on the sofa with a cup of gløgg, while he scoffed at a comment Mikkel had just made.Da: Denne jul skulle være anderledes, tænkte Astrid.En: Mikkel, the youngest, often felt overlooked and seized every chance to provoke Jens.Da: Hun ønskede forsoning og sammenhold mere end noget andet.En: This Christmas would be different, Astrid thought.Da: "Kom, vi skal pynte træet," sagde Astrid opmuntrende og gav hver af dem en kasse julekugler.En: She wanted reconciliation and togetherness more than anything.Da: Men i stedet for at samarbejde, endte Jens og Mikkel i en ophedet diskussion om, hvilken kugle skulle hænge hvor.En: "Come, let's decorate the tree," said Astrid encouragingly, handing each of them a box of Christmas ornaments.Da: Astrid sukkede og så ud ad vinduet på snefnuggene, der stille lagde sig som en rolig dyne over byen.En: But instead of cooperating, Jens and Mikkel ended up in a heated argument over which ornament should hang where.Da: Da de endelig satte sig til bords til julemiddagen, mærkede Astrid, at noget måtte gøres.En: Astrid sighed and looked out the window at the snowflakes gently settling like a calm blanket over the city.Da: "Lad os tale om det," sagde hun roligt og kiggede skiftevis på sine to brødre.En: When they finally sat down for Christmas dinner, Astrid felt that something had to be done.Da: "Hvad er det egentlig, der foregår mellem jer?En: "Let's talk about it," she said calmly, looking back and forth between her two brothers.Da: "Jens trak på skuldrene, mens Mikkel stirrede ned i sin tallerken.En: "What's really going on between you?"Da: "Det er bare.En: Jens shrugged while Mikkel stared down at his plate.Da: ," begyndte Jens, "han lytter aldrig til mig.En: "It's just...," began Jens, "he never listens to me."Da: " Mikkel så op.En: Mikkel looked up.Da: "Det er fordi, jeg føler, du aldrig respekterer mig.En: "That's because I feel like you never respect me."Da: "Emnerne strømmede ud.En: The topics poured out.Da: Gamle uoverensstemmelser og misforståelser kom på bordet, mens de andre familiemedlemmer stille lyttede.En: Old disagreements and misunderstandings came to the table while the other family members quietly listened.Da: Ordene fløj gennem luften, men midt i det hele var det Astrid, der tog modet til sig.En: Words flew through the air, but in the midst of it all, it was Astrid who mustered the courage.Da: "Hør her," sagde hun med blid overbevisning.En: "Listen," she said with gentle conviction.Da: "Ingen af os er perfekte.En: "None of us are perfect.Da: Men vi er en familie.En: But we are a family.Da: Det er jul, og det er tid til at tilgive.En: It's Christmas, and it's time to forgive."Da: "Der blev stille rundt om bordet.En: Silence fell around the table.Da: Udenfor hylede vinden, men indenfor blev der varmt fra hjertenes forsoning.En: Outside, the wind howled, but inside it grew warm from the reconciliation of their hearts.Da: Jens tog en dyb indånding, "Jeg beklager, Mikkel," sagde han.En: Jens took a deep breath, "I'm sorry, Mikkel," he said.Da: "Jeg burde have lyttet.En: "I should have listened."Da: " Mikkel nikkede, "Og jeg burde have talt om det i stedet for at hidse mig op.En: Mikkel nodded, "And I should have talked about it instead of getting upset."Da: "Da de senere satte sig i sofaen med pebernødder og julekalender i fjernsynet, følte Astrid en ny ro.En: Later, when they sat on the sofa with pebernødder and the Christmas calendar on the TV, Astrid felt a new peace.Da: Det var måske ikke den perfekte jul, hun havde håbet på, men det var deres jul.En: It might not have been the perfect Christmas she had hoped for, but it was their Christmas.Da: Familien kom tættere sammen denne aften i København, og Astrid lærte, at kærlighed ikke kræver perfektion, men forståelse.En: The family grew closer together that evening in København, and Astrid learned that love doesn't require perfection, but understanding.

Is violence caused by “bad people,” too many guns, or something deeper? In this episode, University of Chicago researcher Jens Ludwig reveals why most violent acts stem not from evil intent but from ordinary people in unforgiving situations. We explore how behavior, context, metacognition, and split-second decision-making shape violent outcomes — and why small, scalable interventions like pocket parks, foot traffic, and reflective thinking can dramatically reduce harm. If you care about safer communities, more innovative policymaking, or just want to understand human behavior better, our conversation with Jens will forever reshape how you view violence.
