Born in San Pellegrino Terme and arriving in Cape Town with his South African partner in 2011, Diego Milesi talks about building Ferdinando's from a tiny pop-up operation in the Cape Quarter into a loud, chaotic, deeply loved community institution in Observatory.This conversation goes far beyond toppings and dough. We get into the roots of Neapolitan pizza, the obsession with fermentation and hydration, the difference between traditional and contemporary Napoli styles, and why Diego still believes pizza is fundamentally poor people's food: something made to bring people together rather than impress them.We also talk about the culture around Ferdinando's itself. The music, the cocktails, the packed tables, the sense of belonging and the restaurant's long-running association with Pasta Kitchen, a community project legacy of Diego's late partner Kimon, which feeds and connects with vulnerable people living on the streets around Observatory.Along the way there are debates about banana on pizza, artisanal mozzarella, South African ingredients, Italian food purism and why Diego believes the atmosphere around a pizza can matter as much as the pizza itself.Pizza Sessions is sponsored by Banhoek Chilli Oil and will also be launching as a video series on the A Table in the Corner YouTube channel.www.rwm2012.comOn Instagram @a_table_inthecornerCover image sketched by Courtney Cara LawsonAll profile portraits by Russel Wasserfall unless otherwise creditedTitle music: 'In Time' by Olexy via Pixabay
The heat is rising everywhere at once, and Kimon now has to juggle multiple fires. The good news for him is that a man with super kinesthetic senses can juggle quite a few balls in the air. Without tipping, he's got to balance Mercury, Phil, and Lawry all against each other, without losing the Green Man to the fray.
If your to-do list is 47 items long, your Slack won't shut up, and you ended the day thinking, "Cool… but what did I actually accomplish?"—welcome. You're among friends. In this episode, Kim and Kate take on the very real, very unsexy side of project management: figuring out how to manage your own work when everything (and everyone) is demanding your attention. This isn't about finding the perfect tool or building a prettier dashboard. It's about surviving—and actually functioning—in an interrupt-driven world where emails breed overnight, notifications multiply, and every task somehow feels urgent. They get into what actually works: setting a North Star for your week (yes, only a few priorities), getting tasks out of your brain before they haunt you at 10 PM, and why some tasks are secretly just traps that create even more work (looking at you, boomerang tasks). Also: a gentle reality check—you're not supposed to do everything. Grab a drink, ignore your inbox for a bit, and let's figure out how to organize the chaos without losing your mind.
Once someone in law enforcement goes crooked, there are quite a few ways to really bend the rules and more harm than good. Entrapment is a very good example, and Kimon intends to play a complex game here with multiple snares, except there's a snare waiting for him as well.
If your weekly calendar looks like the loser in a state fair quilt competition - just solid blocks of mismatched colors with no room to breathe - this episode is for you. Today, we're joined by facilitation expert Evan Unger to talk about a topic that Kate and Kim geek out over: meetings. Specifically, why most of them are terrible, how they drain organizational productivity, and exactly what you can do to fix yours. We also tackle one of the most delicate situations in project management: how to handle the HIPPO (Highest Paid Person's Opinion) when they barge into your meeting and try to completely take over the flight controls. Grab a drink, settle in, and let's get into it.
Mk. 4,35-41 (35) Tego samego dnia, wraz z nastaniem wieczoru, polecił im: Przeprawmy się na drugą stronę jeziora. (36) Pozostawili więc tłum i odpłynęli z Nim tak jak siedział w łodzi, a towarzyszyły Mu inne łodzie. (37) Wtem rozszalała się wielka burza. Zerwał się wiatr. Fale biły w łódź z taką siłą, że woda wypełniała już wnętrze. (38) On tymczasem był na rufie i spał na podgłówku. Obudzili Go więc i wołają: Nauczycielu, nie martwi Cię to, że giniemy? (39) Wtedy On wstał, stłumił wiatr i powiedział do rozszalałej toni: Zamilcz! Uspokój się! I ustał wiatr — i zapanowała wielka cisza. (40) Wówczas zwrócił się do nich: Dlaczego brak wam odwagi? Wciąż jeszcze nie macie wiary? (41) A ich ogarnął wielki strach, tak że zaczęli mówić jeden do drugiego: Kim On jest, że są Mu posłuszne nawet wiatr i wzburzone fale? Nauczanie z dnia 15 marca 2026

The team starts with a deep dive into the unusual early spring weather and upcoming daylight saving changes, segueing into local politics with St. Louis County Councilman Dennis Hancock discussing budget priorities, pool closures, and potential tax increases. Congressman Bob Onder joins for Capital Beat, covering voter ID, the Save America Act, filibuster mechanics, and local historic preservation. Kim On a Whim highlights the transparency of U.S. press access versus restrictions abroad, spotlighting Caitlin Collins' experiences and press rights defended by Caroline Levitt. The hour weaves local, national, and political insights with cultural commentary and media analysis.

The full show blends humor, cultural commentary, and political analysis across four dynamic hours. Hour 1 opens with cold‑morning laughs and Indiana's football win, then dives into Don Lemon's church protest, Minnesota's far‑left unrest, and Kim St. Onge's “Kim on a Whim” look at retail collapse, ending with reflections on Dr. King's message and Michelle Obama's racially selective shopping critique. Hour 2 mixes national news and lighter stories: Illinois earthquake coverage, DOJ firearm mailing rules, the president's Davos remarks, and John Lamping on Missouri tax policy, closing with quirky updates from “In Other News.” Hour 3 features traffic chaos, Giants coaching moves, and legal takes on protests, with Mark Walters on gun law rulings and Kim On a Whim on Kamala Harris' VP vetting of Josh Shapiro and Democratic Party strategy. Hour 4 examines law enforcement and protest dynamics with Dan Buck, international developments with Ryan Wiggins including NATO, the World Economic Forum, and Greenland exercises, and Virginia Democrats' legislative priorities affecting taxes, business regulations, and social policy. Across all hours, Marc Cox weaves sharp insight with engaging commentary
This hour dove into major stories, from investigative reporting on Minnesota daycare and non-emergency transport fraud, to former Senator Jim Talent breaking down Iran's political and economic collapse and U.S. strategic options. The segment also explored contentious housing policies and cultural debates, before shifting to lifestyle trends with Kim On a Whim discussing GLP-1 medications, genetics, and weight management. The hour balanced hard-hitting political analysis with practical and cultural insights, keeping the show's signature mix of information and personality. #MinnesotaFraud #Iran #JimTalent #GLP1 #WeightLoss #Politics #InvestigativeReporting #KimOnAWhim
Normally no criminal organization would want to blow up a tower full of super heroes, so the idea of getting inside a gang by doing such a thing would be isane and something only plotted by the wildly ideological. However, thankfully for Kimon, many super villains are the types of minds to blow up the earth because humanity wasn't ready to accept male pattern baldness, so coming forward with an insane, ideological proposal is just par for the course.

Neue Musik zu entdecken ist immer eine gute Idee. Stundenlang Streamingdienste wie Spotify & Co. zu durchforsten kann aber auch frustrierend sein. So sehen das zumindest Amir, Yannick und Kimon von "Underrated Cologne". Die drei haben ein neue Veranstaltungsreihe ins Leben gerufen: ein Abend, sechs Konzerte, alles Newcomer*innen. Wie das genau aussieht, wer auftritt und wie sie darauf gekommen, hört ihr hier!
In spite of a clear betrayal, the information Unstoppable Industries has on the criminal world and what law enforcement is doing about it is simply too juicy for Kimon to let go of if he plans to carry on in nefarious activities. To get back in the company is going to take a bit of cleverness. Perhaps even an idea so stupid it's actually genius.
Kimon makes the choice to get back in contact with Unstoppable Industries, but first by calling Flux as a means of feeling out his reaction. Considering that the company had just finished faking Kimon living, it comes as quite a shock to realize Kimon is alive. Of course, everyone was duplicitous in this arrangement, but not everyone is the bad guy.
The crew goes on "The Show That Airs At Night" to talk to Denny Bluthers about recent events, bringing along with them a fake Kimon who sounds convincingly like the real one with maybe only just a little less hard experience. Meanwhile, Kimon watches and passes judgement on the whole performance.
It's now Freeze Frame and Flux in the spotlight without any help from Kimon. In spite of however they may have felt about Kimon, he had a way of driving things forward and pushing major events to the next step. Now the group must move at Freeze Frame's pace, on Freeze Frame's terms, and there's something a little more... incentive-based when he has complete control.

The pieces have fallen into place and Kimon is finally getting what he wants. Unstoppable Industries is one again on the case of Mercury, and this time taking it quite seriously for perhaps all the wrong reasons. Or all the right ones, depending on who you are and who you know.
Kelvin is now in Kimon's hands, and the plan has a certain appearance of reaching its conclusion, but the truth is that an act like this doesn't really have an ending as long as the perpetrator is still alive. It's a case that can go cold, but that's the best case scenario for something so brazen.
Cette fois nous devions faire un podcast épilogue en guise de bilan final mais c'était sans compter la possibilité que la franchise reparte mais ça notre équipe en parlera après leur bilan à chacune et chacun, après des réflexions apportées par les questions de nos auditrices et auditeurs, et après une partie mythologique un peu à part avec Kimon, le webmaster du site eat the corn.Nous enregistrons le jeudi 19 juin 2025 il est 21h00 et l'agent Guigui est accompagné par ses bandits solitaires : Mehdi Achouche, Manu.e et Mara.

There's a saying that if you know yourself and know your enemy, you will never know defeat. With all the pieces in place and nothing left to chance, Kimon and his crew now knows the full layout of McDonnel's mansion, how many guards there are, and will be able to track those guards in real time using their own cameras. The place won't know what hit it!
As Kimon gets all his ducks in a row and gets ready to carry out his big crime, back in the real world, Elvis and Lawry are getting kind of antsy as passive bystanders to an interesting story. Mayson helps mediate a compromise, and now Kimon's efforts will wind up seeing a little extra help.
Today, we're taking a look at another influential anime classic with 1993's Ninja Scroll. A wandering ninja named Kibagami Jubei must confront his past after running afoul of the Eight Devils of Kimon, a group of monstrously powerful ninjas led by Himuro Gemma. Jubei is joined by Kagero, a kunoichi of the Mochizuki clan, and an elderly Tokugawa spy named Dakuan. Our heroes must face the Eight Devils and their deadly techniques one by one. All the while, Jubei wonders how Gemma has seemingly returned from the dead after their fatal encounter years earlier.

You can't tell a man like Kimon that he can't go do something if it's important to him. He'll find a way, or do it in secret, and is good at that. You also can't really replace exactly what Kimon can do, though Freeze Frame might try by inviting the oddball couple that is Lightshow and Terry to the city.
Unstoppable Industries moves to officially declare a new head of the superhero field crew, and naturally it's politics from top to bottom. Freeze Frame is the company's favorite, as the other candidates are too new, or have way too many open files with the HR department. Though the company logic is there, one has to wonder if an ego the size of Kimon's can really be okay with it.

Mike Petrusky hosted a live discussion on “Streamlining Organizational Outcomes Using AEC Data, BIM, and Digital Twins” and asked this expert panel to explain the value of digital twin technology and BIM in the context of facility management. The key to managing a facility from an owner's perspective is having a map to locate their assets and the panelists agreed that all stakeholders within a facility can benefit from the data within a digital twin. The success of digital tools is dependent on organizational culture and governance, so leaders need to foster a culture of continuous improvement to keep pace with rapidly evolving technology and this panel offers practical advice to help you be an Asset Champion in your organization!

W Japonii popularne anime (japońskie filmy animowane) mają rozpoznawalność większą od najbardziej znanych hitów kinowych z klasyczną obsadą. W grę wchodzi widownia liczona w dziesiątkach milionów widzów, którzy rekrutują się głównie spośród nastolatków i wchodzących w dorosłość Japończyków. Tak duża skala oddziaływania anime rodzi pytania o rolę ich twórców. Czy rysownik powinien być społecznie odpowiedzialny? Czy powinien kierować się moralnością? Czy w XXI wieku, gdy show biznes nie waha się korzystać ze wszelkich możliwych treści w imię przyciągnięcia widowni, takie pytania w ogóle mają sens? I co ma do tego dzisiejsza Japonia? Posłuchajcie rozmowy z Mateuszem Urbanowiczem, polskim animatorem i rysownikiem nie tylko mang, dla którego Japonia od blisko dekady jest zarówno domem, jak i miejscem pracy.

In this edition of Kim On a Whim, Kim details how Wise doorbell cameras have lead to more controversy, as people have been able to spy on another person's house via their own doorbell cameras.
Richard and Kimon speak with Faisal Kanji, co-founder of hungerhub, an innovative catering company. Based in Canada, hungerhub combines the quality of traditional catering with the convenience of a delivery service like UberEats. With typical business or party catering, companies and planners will order communal trays from a single restaurant. This is often unsanitary and inconvenient, especially for those with dietary restrictions and allergies. With hungerhub, each attendee receives a log-in ahead of time where they can select customized meals from restaurants of their choice. Hungerhub compiles these orders together and handles delivery and logistics. Founded in 2018, hungerhub has grown considerably, generating over $10 million CAD in revenue this past year with 30 employees. Part of what makes hungerhub different than UberEats or other delivery services, is the ability to plan ahead to minimize the number of drivers required to complete a delivery. Instead of needing 100 drivers for 100 different meals, hungerhub is able to serve 100 meals with just a few drivers. Currently available only in the English-speaking parts of Canada, hungerhub is looking to expand internationally. Faisal discusses the challenges of international expansion, especially into the United States. He highlights the competitive nature of American market and the significant amount of research required to launch there. Faisal speaks on balancing growth versus stability. He wants hungerhub to grow, but most importantly, he wants it to grow in a way that maintains quality. Also in the interview, Faisal describes how he met his co-founder, Sari Abdo, on Angel List. Sari already had the idea and was looking for a partner to help implement. Part of the idea arose from seeing the common practice of free lunches offered by tech companies. In Toronto, most tech companies did not offer this perk, so Faisal and Sari saw an opportunity to find an affordable solution. Faisal also talks about the importance of their first client. This client provided significant and “tough” feedback, which helped them improve their methods and rethink issues quickly. Great clients that are willing to constructively criticize can be essential for businesses as they try to grow and solve issues that might not be obvious. To find their first clients, Faisal and Sari went about cold-calling and showing up in person to pitch their product to companies. Once they started getting clients to agree to trial periods, they ensured that they were generating efficiencies beyond how companies were already going about lunch catering. Faisal's journey to running hungerhub was years in the making. At an early age, he worked in restaurants. When he turned 18, he got his real estate license and began selling. He then opened and ran a coffee distribution business, which taught him many of the lessons he would need to run hungerhub. Towards the end of the conversation, Faisal talks about his competitive nature and how he stays motivated. He's a true entrepreneur in both spirit and deed. Faisal Kanji is co-founder of hungerhub, a Canadian-based catering solutions business. Richard Lucas is a business and social entrepreneur who founded, led and/or invested in more than 30 businesses. Kimon Fountoukidis is the founder of both Argos Multilingual and PMR.

Richard and Kimon recently interviewed Gonçalo Consiglieri, the co-founder of Visor.ai, a company specializing in AI and automation solutions for customer service teams. Initially focused on chatbots customized for specific industries, Visor.ai has evolved into a prominent player in the field. Before venturing into entrepreneurship, Gonçalo worked as a consultant, adapting to the corporate structure. However, driven by a desire for a new path, he left Deloitte to establish his first company in Portugal. Facing a less robust entrepreneurial community initially, Gonçalo witnessed its growth over time. Notably, Gonçalo and his co-founders faced the setback of a failed first company. Undeterred, they chose to persevere as business partners, leveraging the lessons learned for a second attempt. Gonçalo attributes part of their success to a shared passion for the same soccer team and the resilience gained from previous defeats. Mostly boot-strapped, Visor.ai also secured small rounds of investment from public sources in the EU and various startup incubators. The company, now with around 30 business clients, serves major entities such as the largest private bank in Portugal and a significant insurance company. Visor.ai specializes in creating automated chat tools, both utilizing existing market tools and developing proprietary ones. While currently focused on the Portuguese market, Visor.ai aims to expand into the Spanish market in the coming year, emphasizing growth and investing in operational expansion. In the interview, Gonçalo shares insights into his childhood, highlighting his entrepreneurial grandfather as a major inspiration. Despite success in consulting, Gonçalo felt the importance of carving his own path. As an executive of a company with approximately 60 employees, Gonçalo emphasizes the challenges of ensuring alignment. Delegating responsibility and offering stock options to high-performing employees are crucial aspects of his management strategy. He discusses the enjoyable and challenging aspects of executive roles. Offering advice on finding investors, Gonçalo suggests avoiding "make or break" funding situations. He values investors who contribute not just financially but also help connect Visor.ai with new customers and experienced business professionals. Knowledgeable investors play a crucial role, especially when expanding into new markets like Brazil. Gonçalo advocates for embracing failure, viewing it as a valuable lesson. He stresses that solving problems is the key to entrepreneurial success, emphasizing the importance of humility in the face of challenges. Gonçalo Consiglieri is the COO and co-founder of Visor.ai, bringing over a decade of expertise to the team. Holding an MBA from Universitat de Barcelona, Spain, he previously worked as a Management Consultant at Deloitte and KPMG, specializing in Banking and Insurance where he also had an active role in launching two new banks in Africa. For the past six years, he has been overseeing the financial and operational aspects of the venture initiated with co-founders Gianluca Pereyra and Bruno Matias.

Richard and Kimon talk to Peter Cowley, angel investor and author of the book, Public Success, Private Grief. Peter started his career as a software engineer, moving to Germany after graduating from college. He returned to the United Kingdom in 1984, where he embarked on a career as an entrepreneur. He's started over a dozen companies, worked closely with 7 different charities, and angel-invested in over 70 companies. Peter also has late-stage cancer, launching Project Cancer to document his experience and increase awareness. Now 68, Peter was recently diagnosed with a type of lung cancer that affects non-smokers and is difficult to detect. Peter does not expect that current treatment will be effective, and is dedicating much of his remaining time to passing on the life lessons he's learned. Peter's bravery in the face of terrible illness is most visible in vulnerability talking about the challenges he's faced in life. Too often in the world of entrepreneurship and business, people downplay their struggles. Peter is an example of a business person with a holistic worldview, recognizing that there is more to life than mere monetary rewards. Through Project Cancer, Peter documents his own experience with cancer. He's featured interviews with researchers, and his personal oncologist, and examined the UK's healthcare system, the NHS. In Public Success, Private Grief, Peter opens up about more than just his ongoing struggle with cancer. He also discusses his family life, including bravely sharing his experience of losing two children. Peter is also a recovering alcoholic, having a family history of addiction. Along with his wife, Peter wrote Public Success, Private Grief to show how people can process experiences of extreme tragedy and still maintain love and a sense of optimism about the positive aspects of life. Peter has created a 350-day plan of the things he wants to do while he is still able. Public Success, Private Grief is slated for publication on April 17, 2024. Much of his time will serve in the release and promotion of this deeply personal self-help memoir. In addition, Peter is planning a trip to Antarctica and has begun arranging short one-on-ones with various close friends. Some of his plans include taking a stand-up comedy course and eating at Michelin-star restaurants. Peter describes the medical regimes he's undertaken, highlighting how through his treatment, he's remained active. Peter has run and half marathon and gotten married in the Galapagos. While many people suffering from a terminal illness might become less active, Peter credits his entrepreneurial taste for measured risk as an inspiration to keep living life fully. Truly a one of a kind, Peter is unlike any guest Richard and Kimon have ever had on the Entrepreneurship and Leadership podcast. He has managed to turn his adversities into strengths, portraying the messy realities of life to contribute more value to others.

In this episode, Kimon and Richard speak with Philipp Legner, founder of educational software Mathigon. After graduating from the University of Cambridge with a degree in Mathematics, Philipp worked as a software engineer and developer at Bloomberg. In 2017, Philipp founded Mathigon, which was acquired by Amplify in 2021. Philipp continues to run Mathigon under the aegis of Amplify. Mathigon has developed several educational products. The overarching experience that ties them together is an interactive one. As students engage with different problems, they are prompted to explore different avenues. The courses are intended to be fun and interesting, and to engage students as much as possible. All of the content on Mathigon is completely free to use. One of the main throughlines is to make math exploration visual and creatively engaging. In addition to Philipp's insights into education, he has worked with educators to develop different aspects of the curriculum offered by Mathigon. Mathigon seeks to educate based on students' interests. So, if a student is interested in sports, questions will use sports examples. Because Mathigon is free to use, its primary source of revenue comes from licensing content to other educational companies. IBM, for example, licensed Mathigon. Part of the business plan, which Philipp successively executed, was to build the product as an acquisition target for a larger educational company. While Philipp loves education, technology, and building products, he does not love running a business. This was part of the main motivation for selling his company to Amplify. His only condition for the sale was Mathigon, as it existed at the time of signing, would remain free forever. Philipp Legner is VP at Amplify and Founder of Mathigon. Richard Lucas is a business and social entrepreneur who founded, led and/or invested in more than 30 businesses. Kimon Fountoukidis is the founder of both Argos Multilingual and PMR. Both companies were founded in the mid 90s with zero capital and both have gone on to become market leaders in their respective sectors. Kimon was born in New York and moved to Krakow, Poland in 1993. Listen to his story here. Learn more about your ad choices.

Gun battles, mass graves, and explosions – that's not a description of a battlefield, but of an illegal gold mine in South Africa. Gold mining propped up the nation's economy for over a century, and still today countries like the UK trade millions for its gold. But a huge price crash in the late 90s put tens of thousands of miners out of a job. Since then, a literal criminal underworld has risen, operated by illegal miners named the Zama-Zamas, who risk their lives everyday in abandoned mine shafts that could collapse any minute.Kimon de Greef is a journalist who has investigated all this for The New Yorker. He joins Dipo Faloyin in the Bunker to explain what drives the Zama-Zamas and where their gold goes.• “Up until the end of apartheid, Gold was the bedrock of South Africa's economy.” – Kimon de Greef.• “It's like something out of the most dystopian science fiction, down there, but it's real.” – Kimon de Greef.• “Gold really explains a lot of South Africa's social history.” – Kimon de Greef.www.patreon.com/bunkercast Presented by Dipo Faloyin.

He points out that publishers are increasingly less interested in promoting their authors. To help with this problem, Oliver co-founded Aspects of History. Aspects of History is subscription-based, and the main purpose is to introduce readers to great historians and their new books. Every year, Aspects of History publishes 6 issues with articles, interviews, and reviews. Oliver also discusses the challenges that came with quitting a stable, well-paying job to pursue his passion. He discusses his wife's support, and how this was integral to making the entrepreneurial leap. At the end of the interview, Oliver talks about the future for Aspects of History and plans for growth.

Richard and Kimon speak with James Green, one of the co-founders of DQ Ventures, a company that assists experienced professionals launch their own businesses. Originally hailing from Northampton, England, James now lives in Sweden. During his earlier years, James didn't show much interest in business; his passions lay in art and writing. However, as he got older, he realized that entrepreneurship was a fantastic way to express his creativity. Following his college education, he rose to the role of managing director at a creative agency in the UK. However, in 2009, at the age of 33, he decided to become an angel investor. While he did have some successful investments, he gained his most valuable lessons from a failed venture that cost him $2 million. This setback taught him crucial insights about what not to do in business. James now advises against three key pitfalls: (1) getting carried away with one's own success, (2) building a product before understanding the market demand, and (3) failing to network and learn from others in the industry. Overcoming these challenges made James a more thoughtful investor and entrepreneur. With DQ Ventures, James and his partners follow a strategic approach to launching new businesses. They start by identifying a product that people want to buy before creating it. Once they find the right partner, they work together to refine a compelling business idea. Once the entrepreneurial journey begins, they develop a solid business plan based on thorough market research and other methods. James emphasizes the importance of scrutinizing the idea and pinpointing the first ten potential customers. They then seek out these customers, gather feedback, and integrate it into the product development process. During the initial year of supporting the entrepreneur, DQ Ventures provides starting capital and incubation services. If the business shows promise after this period, DQ leads a seed funding round, and the entrepreneurial partner is expected to leave their current job and work on the venture full-time. At the moment, DQ Ventures is involved with 13 companies, six of which have secured seed funding. In his day-to-day role, James serves as the co-founder for around a dozen companies, taking on various tasks, from conducting user interviews to raising funds. Additionally, DQ Ventures has developed educational modules to guide founders through the entrepreneurial journey. Towards the end of the interview, James, Kimon, and Richard emphasize the significance of finding excellent mentors and connecting with individuals who can provide valuable insights on running a successful business. James Green is co-founder of DQ Ventures. DQventures de-risks entrepreneurship for professionals who want to start their own business. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Richard and Kimon interview Simon Stanisz, the co-founder of The NorthStar Consulting Group. Simon is a sales expert who has recently shifted his focus to non-profit work. Simon's early exposure to entrepreneurship came from his family's small businesses in the Polish mountains, with his uncle serving as a significant source of inspiration due to his tenacity and commitment to education. At just 16, Simon began assisting his uncle at trade show stands, igniting his passion for business. His initial work experience involved selling educational books and website subscriptions door-to-door in the United States, covering the American Midwest and South. This experience honed his sales skills as he had to quickly gain the trust of strangers to make successful pitches. Simon also delves into his decision to pursue consulting over a traditional sales career. Consulting allowed him to concentrate solely on maximizing sales, without the need to split his attention between sales and product delivery. After exploring various roles in different companies, he found that consulting was the most lucrative path. Once he established a stable revenue stream through his sales consulting company, Simon found himself with spare time for other ventures. A friend approached him with the idea of starting the Hearty Foundation, aimed at providing mentorship, particularly in the IT field, to at-risk youth in foster care. Simon applied his sales expertise to gain support from orphanages and youth support organizations for this initiative. Simon also addresses the intricacies of funding a foundation and offers valuable insights for those interested in creating a sustainable funding base without relying solely on grants. He illustrates how the Hearty Foundation attracted support from companies eager to assist at-risk youth through IT training. With a diverse career spanning various aspects of sales, Simon's story will appeal to individuals interested in pitching and applying business acumen to the non-profit sector.

"Jubei's Ninja Chronicles") is a 1993 Japanese animated jidaigeki-chanbara film written and directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri, starring the voices of Kōichi Yamadera, Emi Shinohara, Takeshi Aono, Daisuke Gōri, Toshihiko Seki and Shūichirō Moriyama. The film was a co-production between JVC, Toho and Movic, with Madhouse serving as the animation studio. Ninja Scroll was theatrically released in Japan on June 5, 1993, and received an English-dubbed release through Manga Entertainment in 1995.[1] The film takes place in feudal Japan and follows Kibagami Jubei, a mercenary swordsman who battles the Eight Devils of Kimon, a team of ninjas with supernatural powers who are intent on overthrowing the Tokugawa shogunate. During his quest, he is aided by Dakuan, an elderly but crafty government spy, and Kagero, a Kōga kunoichi whose body is infused with poisonous toxins. Praised for its animation and action scenes, Ninja Scroll is regarded by many as one of the most influential anime films ever made. Alongside Akira and Ghost in the Shell, it was responsible for increasing the popularity of adult-oriented anime outside of Japan. The film has been cited by The Wachowskis as an influence on the Matrix franchise, and resulted in Kawajiri later contributing to two segments of the anthology film The Animatrix.[2] A televised stand-alone sequel, Ninja Scroll: The Series, was aired in Japan in 2003. In Edo period-Japan, the Yamashiro clan (山城藩, Yamashiro-han) mines gold in secret, and sends a shipment to the Toyotomi Shogun of the Dark (闇公方, Yami Kubō) as payment for his protection. The Shogun of the Dark intends to use the gold to buy advanced Spanish weaponry and overthrow the current government, the Tokugawa Shogunate. The ship runs aground onto Mochizuki territory (望月藩, Mochizuki-han) in a storm, and the Eight Devils of Kimon (鬼門八人衆, Kimon Hachininshū), a ninja team with supernatural powers in the employ of the Yamashiro, kill the people of the nearby Shimoda Village (下田村, Shimoda-mura) to keep the gold shipment a secret.
Here's a preview of a new podcast, Story of the Week. Each week, journalist Joel Stein chooses an article that fascinates him, convinces the writer to tell him about it, and then interrupts a good conversation by talking about himself. Today's story, about smoking hallucinogenic toads, was written by Kimon de Greef for the New Yorker. A Mexican doctor turned to toad poison to help cure himself of a crack addiction. The doctor then talked about his experiences during a TedX talk at Burning Man – which started his career as the world's leading proponent of the drug.
