AI is not just hype, it's the next economic revolution. In this solo episode, we break down the game-changing insights of Jordi Visser, macro investor and founder of @VisserLabs, as he unpacks how AI is reshaping global markets, jobs, and the financial system. We'll explore why AI is driving trillions in new capital investment, how it's changing labor markets, and why Bitcoin (BTC) may be the “purest AI investment play.” Plus, I share my real-world experiences using AI agents, n8n workflows, and automation tools to streamline work and build new digital products.  Key Takeaways Jordi Visser says betting against AI = betting against innovation. $500B+ in AI infrastructure investment coming by 2026. Bitcoin could be the ultimate AI hedge. Massive white-collar job disruption ahead — but also opportunity. AI empowers entrepreneurs to build products and income streams rapidly.   Jordi's Substack: Substack/@visserlabs Visser Labs YouTube Channel: YouYube/@visserlabs Jordi Visser Bio: With over 30 years of Wall Street expertise in traditional finance and macroeconomics, I guide you through the evolving landscape of investments, from conventional assets to cryptocurrencies and AI-driven technologies.

A cult built on blood. A leader who believed he was a god. And a trail of bodies that blurred the line between faith and horror.In the late 1980s, Mexico's borderlands became the stage for one of the most disturbing sagas in modern history. Adolfo de Jesús Constanzo was charismatic, ruthless, and deeply entwined in the drug world led a cult known as the Narcosatánicos. Their rituals promised protection and power, but what they demanded in return was unthinkable. From Mexico City's elite to Matamoros cartel enforcers, followers worshiped him like a saint and feared him like the devil.This episode dives deep into the intersection of faith, fear, and corruption in a story that still shocks the world. We unravel how a self-proclaimed high priest turned Palo Mayombe rituals into a reign of terror, one that would end with an American college student's disappearance and a discovery that would horrify two nations.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light—all with a cold one in hand.Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we uncover the darkest corners of LGBTQ+ history.

En el 900.50.60.06, nuestros 'Fósforos' responden al tema del día que les planteamos. Queremos que nos cuenten en qué momento han dicho 'tierra, trágame'. José Ramón es el primer oyente que dice lo siguiente: sus padres tenían una floristería y recibieron una llamada. Un encargo. Querían una corona para un difunto. Le citaron a una hora en el cementerio de Carabanchel. Colocó la corona, dio el pésame, se montó en la furgoneta y le volvió a sonar el teléfono. Le dijeron que estaban esperando la corona. "Ahí descubrí que hay dos cementerios en Carabanchel. Uno municipal grande y otro más pequeño". Al final, entró como pudo a la homilía. Le contó al sacerdote que se había equivocado de difunto y que le devolviese la corona. Localizó la corona, "algunos incluso sonreían y dije, totalmente, 'tierra, trágame'. Un asunto muy fuerte".Jordi afirma que le gusta mucho Freddie Mercury. La canción 'Barcelona' es una de sus favoritas. Así que, un día, estaba en el gimnasio ...

La opa lanzada por BBVA sobre Sabadell encara sus últimas horas en medio de un escenario complejo. El banco vasco busca superar el 50 % de aceptación, mientras que desde Sabadell insisten en la solidez de su proyecto en solitario. Sobre ello, ponemos el foco en el 24 Horas de RNE con Antonio Castelo, analista de iBroker, economista y analista de mercados, y Jordi Casas, presidente de la Asociación de Accionistas Minoritarios de Banco Sabadell.Antonio Castelo ha advertido que la operación del BBVA sobre Sabadell "no ha sido una opa convencional" y que las condiciones planteadas "han sido claramente insuficientes". Ha recordado que, en el pasado, una oferta más elevada hubiera podido prosperar y ha recalcado que, en esta ocasión, "la prima que ha ofrecido BBVA en todo momento ha sido claramente insuficiente". También ha señalado que "si se hubiera dejado hacer, los accionistas de Sabadell hubieran rechazado la opa y en tres meses estaría todo bien. La intervención del Gobierno ha sido absolutamente lamentable".Por su parte, Jordi Casas ha destacado que el vínculo de los pequeños inversores con el banco es tan fuerte que el porcentaje de minoristas que pueda aceptar la opa va a ser mínimo. Según ha explicado, "el 85 % del accionista minorista del Banco de Sabadell es cliente del banco", lo que refuerza esa fidelidad. Casas ha insistido además en el peso histórico de la entidad: "No vamos a firmar la disolución de una historia bancaria de éxito, que es la única historia bancaria de éxito que ha generado Cataluña".Escuchar audio

"There is something I want to share with you."Ca: L'aire es va omplir de petites pauses de silenci, només interromput pel camí d'un gos que corria perseguint les fulles voladores.En: The air was filled with small pauses of silence, only interrupted by the path of a dog running, chasing the flying leaves.Ca: Marc va agafar aire i va mirar directament als ulls del seu amic.En: Marc took a deep breath and looked directly into his friend's eyes.Ca: “Em sento com si hagués arribat a un carrer sense sortida,” va confessar.En: "I feel like I've reached a dead end," he confessed.Ca: “Treballar de dissenyador gràfic ja no m'omple. He rebut una oferta de feina. A l'estranger.”En: "Working as a graphic designer no longer fulfills me. I've received a job offer. Abroad."Ca: Els ulls d'en Jordi es van obrir com plats, però va mantenir el seu somriure aventurer.En: Jordi's eyes opened wide, but he maintained his adventurous smile.Ca: “I això t'atabala?” va preguntar, empatitzant amb la preocupació palpable a la veu d'en Marc.En: "And does that trouble you?" he asked, empathizing with the palpable concern in Marc's voice.Ca: “Sento que perdria més que una feina. Tinc por de perdre amistats, de perdre't a tu.”En: "I feel like I'd lose more than just a job. I'm afraid of losing friendships, of losing you."Ca: En Jordi va fer un gest amb les mans, ampli però sincer, com si volgués abraçar la mateixa situació.En: Jordi made a gesture with his hands, broad but sincere, as if he wanted to embrace the situation itself.Ca: “Quan vaig marxar de viatge, em vaig sentir com tu ara,” va dir amb serenitat.En: "When I went on my trip, I felt just like you do now," he said serenely.Ca: “Però, Marc, el que vaig aprendre és que les arrels no es perden quan busques el que et fa feliç. Si saps que aquest canvi és el que necessites, l'opinió d'un amic no hauria de fer-te dubtar.”En: "But, Marc, what I learned is that roots aren't lost when you seek what makes you happy. If you know this change is what you need, a friend's opinion shouldn't make you doubt."Ca: Marc va sentir una onada de relleu inundar-lo.En: Marc felt a wave of relief wash over him.Ca: “Gràcies, Jordi. De debò. No esperava aquest suport tan immediat.”En: "Thank you, Jordi. Truly. I didn't expect such immediate support."Ca: Jordi va somriure, aquest cop amb la mirada fixa a l'horitzó, pensant en totes les incerteses que l'havien acompanyat durant el seu viatge.En: Jordi smiled, this time with his gaze fixed on the horizon, thinking of all the uncertainties that had accompanied him during his journey.Ca: “Mira, potser és el moment que també ordeni la meva vida aquí. O potser no...”En: "Look, maybe it's time for me to sort out my life here as well. Or maybe not..."Ca: Mentrestant, una petita brisa agradable va fer voleiar les fulles al voltant dels seus peus, segellant aquell moment de connexió amb naturalitat.En: Meanwhile, a gentle breeze made the leaves swirl around their feet, sealing that moment of connection naturally.Ca: Allà, al parc ple de vida i història, dos amics van trobar un nou camí per explorar, cadascun a la seva manera, però sempre en companyia.En: There, in the park full of life and history, two friends found a new path to explore, each in their own way, but always in each other's company.Ca: La pau entre ells va quedar capturada al ressò de les seves veus i el so constant de la font, creant un futur inesperat i prometedor.En: The peace between them was captured in the echo of their voices and the constant sound of the fountain, creating an unexpected and promising future.

A man checks into a Kansas City hotel under a false name. Days later, he's found bound, beaten, and barely alive, alone in a locked room. No fingerprints. No weapon. And no one who admits to knowing him.In 1935, a mysterious guest calling himself “Roland T. Owen” arrived at the President Hotel. Staff noted his odd behavior: few possessions, drawn shades, and whispered phone calls to unseen figures. When he was discovered near death in Room 1046, the truth became even stranger. Who was he? Why did he lie about his name? And how did a case filled with blood, secrecy, and coded messages connect to the hidden world of queer life in Depression-era America? Nearly a century later, the death of Artemus Ogletree remains one of the most haunting unsolved LGBTQ+ mysteries in true crime history.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light—all with a cold one in hand.Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we uncover the darkest corners of LGBTQ+ history.

Fluent Fiction - Catalan: Unintentional Protest: Jordi's Unexpected Leadership Lesson Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ca/episode/2025-10-04-22-34-02-ca Story Transcript:Ca: Un dissabte tardorenc, Las Ramblas de Barcelona estava plena de gent.En: One autumn Saturday, Las Ramblas in Barcelona was full of people.Ca: Els arbres lluïen colors grocs i taronges, i l'aire fresc invitava a caminar per aquell carrer tan conegut.En: The trees displayed yellow and orange colors, and the fresh air invited a walk along that well-known street.Ca: Entre turistes i venedors, hi havia Jordi, un noi jove i despreocupat que adorava els animals.En: Among tourists and vendors, there was Jordi, a carefree young guy who loved animals.Ca: Aquell dia, pensava participar en una desfilada per celebrar el Dia Mundial dels Animals.En: That day, he planned to participate in a parade to celebrate World Animal Day.Ca: Amb un somriure a la cara, Jordi es movia entre la multitud buscant l'inici del que ell creia que era una festa d'animals.En: With a smile on his face, Jordi moved through the crowd looking for the beginning of what he believed was an animal festival.Ca: Portava una gorra amb orelles de gat, un detall que li semblava perfecte per l'ocasió.En: He wore a cap with cat ears, a detail he thought was perfect for the occasion.Ca: De sobte, va veure un grup amb pancartes i va sentir crits d'entusiasme.En: Suddenly, he saw a group with banners and heard enthusiastic shouts.Ca: Sense pensar-s'ho, es va unir al grup, plens de passió i energia.En: Without thinking twice, he joined the group, full of passion and energy.Ca: Al seu costat, Marina i Pau també estaven allà, però amb una missió diferent.En: Next to him, Marina and Pau were also there, but with a different mission.Ca: Ells sabien que es tractava d'una protesta política, però van veure la il·lusió de Jordi i no el van voler alertar de l'error.En: They knew it was a political protest, but they saw Jordi's excitement and didn't want to alert him to his mistake.Ca: Jordi aplaudia i cridava sense saber exactament què deien els lemes, però estava convençut que era tot per una bona causa.En: Jordi clapped and shouted without knowing exactly what the slogans were about, but he was convinced it was all for a good cause.Ca: Mentre avançaven pels carrers, les seves gesticulacions exagerades i els seus crits plens d'entusiasme van començar a atreure l'atenció dels altres manifestants.En: As they moved through the streets, his exaggerated gestures and enthusiastic shouts began to attract the attention of the other protestors.Ca: Malauradament, el seu divertit equívoc es feia cada cop més evident.En: Unfortunately, his amusing misunderstanding was becoming more apparent.Ca: Els organitzadors es van fixar en ell i, creient-lo un líder enèrgic, el van convidar a pujar a un escenari improvisat.En: The organizers noticed him and, thinking he was an energetic leader, invited him to step onto an improvised stage.Ca: Jordi va acceptar l'oportunitat amb encant, pensant que finalment havia estat reconegut per la seva passió pels drets dels animals.En: Jordi accepted the opportunity with charm, thinking he was finally being recognized for his passion for animal rights.Ca: Quan va pujar, es va adonar de la serietat del moment.En: Once he got up, he realized the seriousness of the moment.Ca: Es trobava davant d'un públic esperant un discurs significatiu.En: He found himself in front of an audience expecting a meaningful speech.Ca: Amb el cor bategant ràpidament, Jordi va parlar amb espontaneïtat i humor.En: With his heart beating rapidly, Jordi spoke with spontaneity and humor.Ca: Va començar dient que els animals mereixen amor i respecte, cosa que tothom va entendre i aplaudir.En: He started by saying that animals deserve love and respect, something everyone understood and applauded.Ca: Quan va intentar lligar això amb la causa política, els seus mots es van convertir en un divertit caos.En: When he tried to tie this to the political cause, his words turned into a funny chaos.Ca: Les expressions confoses i les rialles dels assistents el van fer adonar-se que estava molt lluny de la realitat del moment.En: The confused expressions and laughter of the attendees made him realize he was far from the reality of the moment.Ca: Finalment, va cloure simplement: "Donem-nos suport els uns als altres, siguin persones o animals!En: Finally, he simply concluded: "Let's support each other, whether we are people or animals!"Ca: " Aquella innocència va guanyar el cor de la gent, que va trencar a aplaudir amb alegria.En: That innocence won the hearts of the people, who burst into joyful applause.Ca: Després de baixar, Marina i Pau el van felicitar.En: After stepping down, Marina and Pau congratulated him.Ca: Jordi es va adonar que s'havia ficat en una situació inesperada, però també va veure que, amb el seu discurs, havia aconseguit unir a la gent encara que fos involuntàriament.En: Jordi realized he had gotten himself into an unexpected situation, but he also saw that, with his speech, he had managed to unite people even if unintentionally.Ca: A mesura que s'allunyava, es va prometre prestar més atenció a les coses que l'envoltaven, sabent que el primer pas per tenir un impacte és entendre realment el que està passant.En: As he walked away, he promised himself to pay more attention to the things around him, knowing that the first step to making an impact is truly understanding what is going on.Ca: Així, el noi somiador que va fer riure a tothom va marxar de Las Ramblas amb un nou compromís cap a causes que van molt més enllà del que aparenten a primera vista.En: Thus, the dreamy boy who made everyone laugh walked away from Las Ramblas with a new commitment to causes that go far beyond what they seem at first glance.Ca: Aquell dia, ell no només havia participat en una protesta –havia

El 14 d'octubre del 1975 es va signar l'acta fundacional del Grup d'Estudis Sitgetans. L'entitat s'inscriuria al registre provincial d'associacions l'agost del 1976 i va tenir Ramon Planes com a primer president. Acompanyaren Planes, Antoni Vigó com a vicepresident, Lluís Jou com a secretari, i Jacint Picas de tresorer. A partir d'avui es pot visitar, al pati de la biblioteca Santiago Rusiñol, una exposició commemorativa del 50è aniversari del Grup d'Estudis, que serà inaugurada oficialment el proper divendres i es podrà visitar fins a final de mes. Amb Jordi Milà, actual president de l'entitat, hem parlat dels reptes actuals, en un context social molt diferent al que va veure néixer el GES. L'entrada Una exposició a la biblioteca commemora el 50è aniversari del GES. En parlem amb Jordi Milà ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

A boy in fairy wings. A man in tailored velvet. Enough dead Nazis to warrant a sable coat. And a life lived defiantly against the rules of an empire.Neil Munro “Bunny” Roger was born into wealth and tradition in early 20th-century Britain, but he refused to let either dictate who he was. A couturier, performer, and unapologetically queer figure, Bunny's life is a story of spectacle and survival, where fashion became both shield and sword. His defiance against rigid gender norms turned him into a legend, though history nearly buried his name. In this episode, we step into the hidden world of queer history and uncover how Bunny Roger's art, scandal, and visibility reshaped what it meant to live openly—long before it was safe to do so.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light—all with a cold one in hand.Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we uncover the darkest corners of LGBTQ+ history.

Transcript:Ca: El paisatge de tardor envoltava la masia de pedra antiga amb arbres de roure plens de colors càlids.En: The autumn landscape surrounded the old stone masia, with oak trees full of warm colors.Ca: Era el dia de la calçotada anual de la família, un esdeveniment que els cosins esperaven amb impaciència.En: It was the day of the family's annual calçotada, an event the cousins eagerly anticipated.Ca: Les taules eren llargues, cobertes amb estovalles de quadres vermells i plenes de rialles i xivarri.En: The tables were long, covered with red checkered tablecloths and filled with laughter and chatter.Ca: Però Laia tenia un objectiu clar aquella tarda.En: But Laia had a clear objective that afternoon.Ca: —Aquest any guanyaré el concurs de calçots!En: "This year I'll win the calçots competition!"Ca: — va dir amb decisió, mentre mirava els preparatius.En: she said with determination as she watched the preparations.Ca: Marc, el seu cosí competitiu, no podia evitar somriure amb superioritat.En: Marc, her competitive cousin, couldn't help but smile with superiority.Ca: —Ja veurem, Laia.En: "We'll see, Laia.Ca: Ha ha!En: Ha ha!"Ca: — responia Marc mentre posava els calçots a la graella.En: replied Marc as he placed the calçots on the grill.Ca: Mentre els fums del foc s'alçaven lentament, un gir inesperat va marcar el començament dels desastres.En: As the smoke slowly rose from the fire, an unexpected turn marked the beginning of the disasters.Ca: La graella, mal col·locada, es va tombar de cop, fent caure els calçots a terra.En: The grill, poorly placed, suddenly tipped over, causing the calçots to fall to the ground.Ca: Els crits d'alarma van ressonar, i la rivalitat entre Laia i Marc es va deixar de banda per un moment.En: Alarms rang out, and the rivalry between Laia and Marc was set aside for a moment.Ca: —Quin desastre!En: "What a disaster!"Ca: — es va lamentar Jordi, el tercer cosí, amb una rialla irònica.En: lamented Jordi, the third cousin, with an ironic laugh.Ca: Però allò no era tot.En: But that wasn't all.Ca: Poc després, van adonar-se que algú havia pres un sac de calçots.En: Shortly after, they realized someone had taken a sack of calçots.Ca: Els sospitosos eren la família rival que celebrava la seva pròpia calçotada al poble.En: The suspects were the rival family who were celebrating their own calçotada in the village.Ca: Laia, veient que no guanyaria sense els calçots, va prendre una decisió agosarada.En: Laia, seeing she wouldn't win without the calçots, made a bold decision.Ca: —Marc, necessito que em facis costat— va demanar Laia, posant de banda la seva rivalitat momentània.En: "Marc, I need you to back me up," she asked, momentarily putting aside their rivalry.Ca: —Perfecte!En: "Perfect!Ca: Anem a buscar els nostres calçots!En: Let's go get our calçots!"Ca: — va acceptar Marc amb un somriure còmplice.En: Marc agreed with a conspiratorial smile.Ca: Així que, esquivant la vigilant mirada de la seva avia, van córrer cap a la casa del costat.En: So, dodging the watchful eye of their grandmother, they ran to the neighboring house.Ca: Era una operació per recuperar el botí.En: It was an operation to reclaim the loot.Ca: Les rialles es van barrejar amb l'adrenalina mentre entraven al jardí dels veïns.En: Their laughter mixed with adrenaline as they entered the neighbors' garden.Ca: Finalment, amb el sac de calçots a les mans, van fugir sota el cel ennuvolat mentre la família rival protestava sorollosament.En: Finally, with the sack of calçots in hand, they fled under the cloudy sky as the rival family protested loudly.Ca: De retorn a la seva pròpia festa, Laia i Marc van ser rebuts amb aclamacions.En: Returning to their own party, Laia and Marc were greeted with cheers.Ca: La competició continuava, i enmig de l'emoció i el descontrol, Laia va guanyar el noble títol de Reina dels Calçots.En: The competition continued, and amid the excitement and chaos, Laia won the noble title of Queen of the Calçots.Ca: —Has guanyat justament, Laia— va admetre Marc, aquesta vegada amb un somriure sincer.En: "You've won fair and square, Laia," admitted Marc, this time with a sincere smile.Ca: Laia, somrient mentre feia un brindis amb Marc i Jordi, va comprendre que, malgrat tot, allò que realment importava era estar junts, rient dels petits desastres familiars.En: Laia, smiling as she toasted with Marc and Jordi, realized that, despite everything, what truly mattered was being together, laughing at the small family disasters.Ca: Els vincles són més forts quan es compartia un moment així, i Laia ho va agrair des del cor.En: Bonds are stronger when a moment like this is shared, and Laia was grateful from the heart.Ca: I així, la calçotada va continuar fins que la llum del dia es va apagar lentament, amb el sabor dels calçots que omplia l'aire d'una dolça festa.En: And so, the calçotada continued until the day's light slowly faded, with the flavor of calçots filling the air with a sweet celebration.

A woman's desperate screams. 38 people witness a woman being attacked on the street. No one intervenes allowing an attack to go on for 40 minutes, ultimately leading to murder. In March 1964, Kitty Genovese was attacked just steps from her New York apartment. Reports claimed thirty-eight witnesses saw or heard parts of the assault, and yet no one intervened. Kitty was more than a headline, she was a 28-year-old bartender, daughter, sister, and a lesbian quietly building a life with the woman she loved. But her death became one of the most infamous tragedies in queer history, not only for the brutality of the crime, but for what it revealed about society's indifference. In this episode, we examine the myths, the truths, and how the case shaped both the criminal justice system and the narrative of LGBTQ+ lives in danger.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light, all with a cold one in hand.Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we uncover the darkest corners of LGBTQ+ history.

A late night knock. A false report. An arrest that should never have happened. And a landmark case that would change the lives for millions of queer Americans. What began as a humiliating raid in a small Houston apartment would ignite a legal battle that reshaped queer life in America. In 1998, John Geddes Lawrence and Tyron Garner were dragged from Lawrence's home and charged under a Texas law that criminalized their very existence. They were not activists. They were not politicians. They were ordinary men caught in an extraordinary injustice that exposed how fragile freedom could be when queerness was treated as a crime.This case, Lawrence v. Texas, became a turning point in LGBTQ+ history. It struck at the heart of sodomy laws still on the books in more than a dozen states. In this episode, we trace the humiliating arrest, the years of legal battles, and the cultural shockwaves that followed. The story reveals how one case helped dismantle centuries of stigma and changed the landscape for queer rights in the United States. This is queer history, true crime, and justice colliding in one of the most important cases in American law.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light all with a cold one in hand.Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we uncover the darkest corners of LGBTQ+ history.

A quiet evening stroll takes a horrifying turn. A beloved teacher and librarian becomes the target of a hate-driven ambush.On June 21, 1985, Toronto school librarian and teacher Kenneth Zeller, a well-liked educator at three schools, was walking to his car after a night with friends when five teenage boys ambushed him in High Park, brutally beating him to death in a homophobic hate crime. This episode unpacks the senseless violence of that midsummer night, the chilling group dynamics, and the cultural climate that labeled queer spaces as danger zones. As we explore the aftermath, from legal responses to the community's rallying to remember him as more than a victim. We delve into queer history, systemic intolerance, and the scars these injustices leave behind.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light, all with a cold one in hand.Press play, raise a glass, and join us as we honor Kenneth Zeller's memory and confront the shadows of LGBTQ+ history.
