Key Takeaways Florida 70.3 Success: Danny's 3rd place AG finish (2:16 bike, 1:34 run) validated a marathon-focused training block, proving high run volume can maintain bike fitness. Houston Marathon Goal: The primary goal is a sub-3:00 marathon in Houston to secure a Boston qualifier (BQ) for the 45-49 age group (target: 3:07:30 to beat the ~7.5 min cutoff). Injury Management: A knee injury from high run volume was resolved with a fluid drain and cortisone shot. The Lever system was discussed as a key tool for injury prevention. Top Guns Update: The team has grown to ~60 athletes and partnered with Mauna for new kits. Ironman Marketing is producing a feature on the club. Florida 70.3 Race Report Context: The race served as a final 70.3 of the year, integrated into a marathon-focused training block with low triathlon specificity. Training Block: Run: 4 weeks at 50+ miles/week, followed by 4 weeks at 60+ miles/week. Bike: 5x/week, mostly easy Zone 1/2 rides (~190 watts). Swim: 1x/week (~3-4k yards) to maintain "feel for the water." Race Execution & Results: Swim: 28:00 (faster than expected on a slow, M-shaped course). Bike: 2:16:00 (avg. 270 watts) on a fast but not flat course. Strategy: Rode 5 bpm below normal 70.3 heart rate (145 bpm vs. 150 bpm) to conserve energy. Run: 1:34:00. Strategy: Ran at goal marathon heart rate (~150 bpm) instead of pace due to heavy legs. Outcome: The high run volume provided significant durability, preventing the usual second-half fade. Overall: 3rd place AG, ~30th overall. Marathon Training & Injury Management Houston Marathon Goal: Sub-3:00 to secure a Boston qualifier. BQ Target: 3:15:00. Effective Target: ~3:07:30 to beat the typical ~7.5 min cutoff. Pacing: Recent 4x3k workout at goal HR (~150 bpm) yielded ~6:40/mile pace. Knee Injury: Cause: Fluid buildup from high run volume. Resolution: 30 cc fluid drain + cortisone shot. Recovery: Resumed training 5 days post-procedure with no issues. Lever System: Recommendation: Use as an injury prevention tool to add unweighted run volume. Comparison to Alter-G: A cost-effective alternative that also helps with hip stability. Top Guns Team Update Growth: Roster now at ~60 athletes. Partnership: New apparel deal with Mauna. Media: Ironman Marketing is producing a feature on the club. Florida 70.3 Performance: World Slots: Matt Schuster and Tony Park qualified for the 70.3 World Championship in France. Slot Decision: Danny passed on his slot, citing the high cost (~$1,200) and low likelihood of attending. Coming Up! Danny: Execute the Houston Marathon on January 19, targeting a sub-3:00 finish. Consider purchasing a Lever system for injury prevention. Colin & Danny: Resume consistent podcast recordings in 2026. Dedicate the next episode to Colin's health and triathlon return.

Hanna och Nea besvarar lyssnarnas frågor om relationer, men misstänker att de själva skrivit frågorna, eller att Anton och Johan gjort det; så jävla träffade blir de. Hanna är för övrigt så marinerad i terapi att hon kommer ut som en fjullfjädrad parterapeut.

4,5 millions de Français ont arrêté l'alcool pendant un mois en 2024. 72% réduisent durablement leur consommation. Comment une simple pause transforme-t-elle nos comportements ?

In this episode of the Creator Method Podcast, host Rachel Ostro sits down with Alexa Tepperman and Aja Zylberberg, the creative force behind some of Creator Method's most impactful summits and in-person experiences. As the founders of Duet Events, Alexa and Aja bring years of experience designing events that blend strategy, creativity, and human connection to build rooms that actually drive growth. Together, Rachel, Alexa, and Aja unpack why events are one of the most underrated growth tools for creators and founders today. They break down why events are often overcomplicated, what creators get wrong about scale and budget, and how starting small with intention can lead to outsized impact. The conversation examines the distinction between events that merely appear impressive and those that genuinely foster trust, community, and lasting business value. Alexa and Aja pull back the curtain on what really goes into planning high-impact experiences, from guest curation and staffing to timelines, budgets, and brand perception. They explain how events can open doors to partnerships, shift how brands view creators, and serve as powerful content engines that fuel growth long after the event ends. The episode also explores entrepreneurship, motherhood, balance, and how life experiences shape the way Alexa and Aja approach both business and creativity. If you're a creator or founder thinking about bringing your community offline, this conversation offers a clear, strategic framework for doing it with confidence and intention.

Points of Interest00:00 – 01:38 – Introduction: Marcel welcomes agency legal specialist Sharon Toerek, highlighting her long track record in the industry and setting the stage with a discussion about how quickly the agency world is changing.01:38 – 02:45 – Framing the AI Legal Conversation for Agencies: They position the core topic of the episode as the legal implications of AI adoption inside agencies, especially when serving enterprise clients with sensitive data and heightened risk concerns.02:45 – 05:03 – The Two Biggest AI Risk Buckets: IP and Data Privacy: Sharon identifies intellectual property and data privacy as the top two legal risk areas agencies must consider when using generative AI in strategy, creation, and data manipulation.05:03 – 08:11 – IP Infringement, Ownership, and Contract Clarity: She explains how generative AI can inadvertently infringe on others' IP, complicate ownership of deliverables, and increase the need for explicit AI usage and ownership language in MSAs and SOWs.08:11 – 10:23 – Agency-Created IP and Contractor Use of AI: Sharon explores the risks of building agency-owned IP with AI when ownership is uncertain, and stresses the importance of knowing how contractors use AI so their work aligns with promises made to clients.10:23 – 15:11 – The State of Case Law and Fair Use Signals: They discuss how little case law exists around AI, what early decisions suggest about training data and fair use, and why we still do not know how much human contribution is needed to secure protectable IP.15:11 – 18:26 – Blurring Lines Between Human and Machine-Created Work: Marcel and Sharon reflect on how modern creative tools embed AI in everyday workflows, making it harder to distinguish human-made from machine-generated content for legal and practical purposes.18:26 – 22:40 – A Practical Playbook for Reducing AI Legal Risk: Sharon outlines concrete steps agencies can take now: have AI conversations with clients, update contracts, understand tool terms, set internal and external AI policies, and right-size risk based on audience scale.22:40 – 26:05 – Where Insurance Fits in the AI Risk Equation: They examine how general liability, E&O, and cyber policies currently treat AI-related issues, and why insurers are likely to carve out or slowly add AI-specific coverage as risks and profits emerge.26:05 – 30:31 – Market Volatility, AI Shock, and Rising Agency M&A: Sharon connects AI disruption, economic uncertainty, and geopolitical tension to a surge in small and mid-size agency deals, noting many founders are simply tired of reinventing their businesses again.30:31 – 35:40 – IP as a Lever in Exits and Next Career Moves: She makes the case that agencies who develop and package their own IP create more options in M&A, whether selling IP separately, splitting the business, or using it to launch the next chapter of their careers.Show NotesInnovative Agency PodcastWebsite: legalandcreative.comLinkedIn - Sharon ToerekM&A Webinar Replay with SharonLove the PodcastLeave us a review here.

Gabriel Mwénè Okoundji est considéré comme l'une des grandes voix de la poésie africaine francophone contemporaine. Le nom est l'autre visage des êtres, écrit Gabriel Mwéné Okoundji. «Okoundji» en langue bantoue, cela veut dire chef et «Mwéné» porteur de la spiritualité du peuple. Son deuxième nom, «Mwéné», il l'a hérité à la mort de son père, à ses neuf ans. Un nom qui a marqué sa vie, son enfance et probablement une destinée de poète !  La poésie permet à l'homme de faire confiance en sa fragilité Gabriel Mwéné Okoundji est né en 1962 dans le petit village de Okondo en République du Congo, village qui a fait naître en lui «toute la sensibilité qu'il porte». Adolescent, il rejoint Brazzaville pour aller au lycée. Puis, il part à Bordeaux, en France, pour suivre des études de médecine. Il y vit désormais depuis près de 40 ans. Parallèlement, il écrit beaucoup de poésie pour porter la parole de l'écriture.  Il se décrit comme un «enfant de la négritude» mais se sent aussi comme un descendant de troubadour.  L'écriture pour moi vient parfois par effraction, d'une rencontre, d'un mot, d'une lecture, d'un chant. Mais cette rencontre peut aussi venir en langue tékée comme elle peut venir en langue française. Ce sont ces deux langues qui me nourrissent. Quand l'une donne, l'autre reçoit, quand l'une reçoit, l'autre invoque, l'autre évoque. Ce sont mes deux langues maternelles. Parfois, je ne trouve pas de mot équivalent en français alors, je le laisse en langue tékée.  Gabriel Okoundji  Invité : Gabriel Mwéné Okoundji, psychologue de métier et poète franco-congolais. Son recueil L'âme blessée d'un éléphant noir, suivi de Stèles du point du jour, est à retrouver dans la collection Poésie aux éditions Gallimard.  Programmation musicale : L'artiste Ours avec le titre Le spleen d'une vie sublime.

Dan Layfield, founder of the Subscription Index, joins Mark Stiving to unpack the less-visible pricing and monetization levers that drive real growth in subscription businesses. With experience scaling Codecademy from $10M to $50M in revenue and leading product teams at Uber and Diligent, Dan brings a product-led, ROI-first perspective on pricing. This episode culminates in one of the most actionable subscription pricing tactics you'll hear: how to price annual plans based on actual monthly retention, not industry norms.  If you work in SaaS, consumer subscriptions, or any recurring-revenue business, this episode offers practical insights you can test immediately.   Why You Have to Check Out Today's Podcast: Learn the annual pricing tactic that dramatically increases LTV and cash flow by aligning plan discounts to real retention behavior. Understand why subscription growth is constrained more by monetization systems than acquisition and where hidden revenue leaks live. Discover how product, pricing, and payment mechanics quietly shape retention long after customers click "Subscribe".   "If you know your average retention rate within monthly plans, and most of your users are in monthly plans, you price your annual plan to be like one or two months more than your monthly retention rate." – Dan Layfield   Topics Covered: 00:45 - How Dan Got Into Pricing. Dan shares how pricing became a key growth lever while scaling Codecademy and why monetization matters more as products mature. 01:10 - Scaling Subscription-Based Businesses. Dan shares lessons from scaling Codecademy's subscription business and why pricing becomes critical as companies grow. 05:12 - Subscription Pricing and Retention Strategies. How pricing decisions influence retention length and why subscription pricing must reflect real user behavior. 09:11 - Retention Challenges in Subscription Businesses. The difference between short-term and long-term retention products and why under-12-month subscriptions require different strategies. 11:32 - Subscription Product Strategies. Time to value versus time to success, and how product design affects lifecycle length and churn. 17:02 - Monetization Strategies in Subscription Businesses. What monetization really includes beyond price, from paywalls to upsells, renewals, and payment recovery systems. 19:45 - Checkout Flow Optimization Strategies. Why small checkout improvements deliver outsized ROI and how minor friction quietly suppresses revenue. 23:22] AI's Impact on Consumer Products. Why AI adoption is slower in consumer subscriptions than B2B SaaS and where future disruption may emerge. 26:30 - Annual Plan Pricing Strategy. Dan explains the monthly-to-annual pricing approach that boosts LTV, improves cash flow, and increases commitment. 29:31 - Key Subscription Product Insights. Final reflections on retention, monetization levers, and where subscription companies should focus first for growth.   Key Takeaways: "This is one of the few tides that lifts all boats in subscription products. It makes payment processing easier. You collect cash up front. Those users psychologically commit to the product more." – Dan Layfield "If you're retaining users for four months on average, change your annual plan discount rate to be 50%. So they're paying for six months up front." – Dan Layfield "...if you look at any of the big consumer products that discount more than 10 to 20% annual plans, you can kind of guess their monthly retention rate." – Dan Layfield   People & Resources Mentioned: Codecademy – Subscription growth case study Uber Eats – Marketplace product experience Subscription Index – Dan's subscription monetization resource Stripe / App Store Billing – Payment and dunning challenges in subscriptions   Connect with Dan Layfield: Website: https://subscriptionindex.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/layfield/    Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving Email: mark@impactpricing.com

We have reached the end of the year. The bells have stopped ringing, the wrapping paper is in the bin, and we are standing on the threshold of the "Morning After." In this final Thinking Out Loud of 2025, we explore the art of survival through three powerful metaphors: The Dance, The Drift, and The Lever. We travel to Argentina to see an orderly teach a paralyzed woman that she can still lead; we float down the Amazon to discover that being lost is sometimes the only way to be found; and we stand at a well in Kenya to learn why peace is physically heavy. We ask the difficult questions: Are we tourists in our own lives, or are we pilgrims? Does the music stop just because our legs do? And what happens when we realize that the handle of survival is too heavy to lift alone? Join me for one last reflection before we turn the page to 2026.

In this episode of the Thread Podcast, Justin Vandehey interviews Benjamin Roach, Director of Revenue Operations at Optio Incentives, to explore what it takes to build RevOps in the equity compensation and incentives space. Ben shares his “traditional” path from sales into RevOps, why he deliberately took a step back into a junior ops role, and how getting technical became a career unlock.They dig into the complexities of selling and operating in equity management—where revenue can include ARR, transactional fees, and services, and where buyers span CFOs, CHROs, legal, and finance. Ben also shares his point of view on AI: where it can help participants and admins get fast answers, and why data quality and human oversight still matter. The episode closes with career advice for aspiring RevOps leaders and how to learn the craft.Key topics coveredWhy Ben moved from sales → RevOps (and why he “took a step back” to level up)Equity compensation complexity: strike price, taxes, vesting, global complianceHow Optio's GTM motion sells “trusted partner + tech,” not just softwareMeasuring growth in equity management beyond traditional ARRAI in equity management: where it's useful today and where it's riskyCareer advice: become technical, stay curious, build a broader toolbeltMemorable moments / quotable lines“Stock options… were unknown to me. You get handed them and think, maybe one day I'll make money.”“AI is only as good as your data models.”“Don't be scared to take a step backwards.”“RevOps wears so many hats—you need a lot of tools on your toolbelt.”Chapters (suggested)00:00 – Welcome + Ben's intro 01:00 – From sales to RevOps (and why he took a step back) 02:10 – Why the equity/incentives space pulled him in 03:30 – Aligning finance, HR, and revenue metrics 04:45 – Why revenue isn't just ARR in equity management 05:30 – Simplifying a complex story for CFOs/CHROs/legal 06:55 – Global compliance + product readiness constraints 09:00 – AI in equity: what it can and can't do (yet) 11:05 – Career advice for aspiring RevOps leaders 13:45 – Plug: Optio + how to connect with Ben

Farven vendte tilbage i investorernes kinder efter en omgang muligvis mangelfulde, men dog bedre end ventet inflationstal fra USA, men om det er nok til at levere et gedigent jule-rally, står fortsat hen i det uvisse. Millionærklubben slutter ugen af med et temperaturtjek på markedsstemningen og klubbens to faste forvaltere, Lau Svenssen og Lars Persson, svarer på spørgsmål fra lytterne.

Are we wasting our talents on meaningless jobs? Should our career choices reflect our morals? Author and historian Rutger Bregman thinks so. He argues that the most talented people in America are stuck in a real-life version of the movie Office Space  — and that we should be trying to solve the world's biggest problems instead.  Today on Lever Time, David Sirota sits down with Bregman to ask: When did we lose our moral ambition? Are we greedy, cynical, or are we just trying to escape an ever-increasing affordability crisis?   Click here to learn about Bregman's book, Moral Ambition: Stop Wasting Your Talent And Start Making A Difference.

Just heard the convo about Aaron's weird ability to pull interest from the fairer sex. You couldn't come up with a good word for it - I'm here to help. The perfect word is conFAUXdence. You're welcome.   ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from Devin K - Where is the damn squares button!? Love this show and all the antics that come along with it. Lever action debate that would be fun to listen too. What's your favorite lever action caliber for whitetail hunting? What would be the one you would take if you needed to defend that SSB. #171, #fuckthethumb.   ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from System AI - A review and comparison to bring us all back to Dungeon Crawler Carl. Let's pair each cast member to a Character from DCC. First, Shawn, obviously he's Carl. He's the main character. He's powerful. He's the reason we are all here. There may or may not be a Cat that led him here. He likely has someone obsessed with his feet and definitely only has heart boxers on behind his desk. Second, Aaron, he's Prepotene. Smart and powerful. Sometimes on the team, sometimes in the way, sometimes nowhere to be seen. Probably rides a Goat. Screams nonsense from time to time. Would be dead without the rest of the team. Third, Jeremy. Jeremy is Quasar. Swears constantly Hates the leader/rulers of the galaxy and game. Is there everytime we need him. Will likely be the reason the rest end up in a prison. Fourth, Savage. He's JuiceBox. Extremely smart. AI generated. Self aware. Playing the same game but may have a different motive. Likely to lead to the downfall of the show. Last, Nick. Nick is Samantha. Much more powerful then he's willing to let on. Always growing in power. A very important member to keep the show running. Would be dangerous if all his organs worked correctly. And Shawn has definitely been inside him. These comparisons can not be altered. Debate will result in acceleration. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

I've complained about franchisors — even great ones. But it wasn't until I experienced fear-based leadership firsthand that I truly understood what good partnerships actually look like.   In this solo episode of Franchise Secrets, I break down the partnership levers behind my best franchise deals — the exact ways partnerships have allowed me to scale across franchising, investing, advisory roles, and brand building without working nonstop or needing to own everything myself.   From early family partnerships to building Front Street, I walk through the real-world lessons that shaped how I evaluate partners today — including the difference between control and leverage, why fear kills franchise systems, and how the right partners help you build a much bigger pie.   If you're a franchisor, franchisee, or investor trying to grow smarter (not just harder), this episode will give you a framework you can actually use.   Timestamps:   00:00 – Complaining About Franchisors (Even the Great Ones) 02:25 – Why Leverage Is the Foundation of Great Partnerships 02:47 – Partnering With Family: Lessons From My Parents 04:47 – Why I Don't Need to Own 100% of the Business 06:53 – Lever #1: Distribution You Can't Buy Overnight 10:21 – Lever #2: Credibility and Becoming "The Franchise Guy" 14:03 – Lever #3: Speed, Alignment, and Moving Without Delay 18:04 – Lever #4: Insight and Specialized Expertise 22:03 – Lever #5: Capital and the Solo Salon Studios Story 30:32 – The Ultimate Test: When 1 + 1 Must Equal 11   Connect with Erik Van Horn:

2025 has been a tremendous year for the artificial intelligence industry. Stock prices for AI companies skyrocketed, soaring beyond expectations and propping up an otherwise stagnant U.S. economy. But everywhere, there's talk of an AI bubble — one even bigger and more threatening than the 2008 housing bubble or the dot-com bubble of the early 2000s. What makes this bubble so different? When is it likely to pop? And if it does, what does that mean for the rest of us?  In this episode of Lever Time, David Sirota sits down with Ed Zitron and Sruthi Pinnamaneni, journalists covering the AI frenzy, to recap the year of the AI Bubble — and predict what will happen next.

This isn't the final episode of 2025 for Des and Kara, but this is the last episode of the year with a long list of running results to discuss. Listen in because there was A LOT of running action this past weekend from XC to the indoor track to the marathon. Des and Kara start with updates on their recent travels - Des to Shanghai and Seoul, Kara to snowy Wisconsin. As highlights, we learn Des's nickname in China and get an update on Colt's race at Brooks XC regionals in proper blizzard conditions. Then, they turn to this past weekend's results, starting with Nike NXN and the US XC Champs in Portland. Who showed up and showed out to earn spots on the World XC team for the US?  Plus, holy Hedengren(!) as Jane H ran 14:44 to break the collegiate indoor and outdoor 5K record at BU. That's also the 2nd fastest time ever by an American indoors. She is only 19, but it seems like she is making it look too easy! The sky is the limit for her. Finally, they drill in on the US Marathon Champs at CIM (including Courtney D's near OTQ) and some fast times at the Valencia Marathon in Spain as the fall marathon season finally wraps up.

As parents, we're told homicidal maniacs, drug peddlers, and creeps are lurking in every shadow, waiting to grab your children. But is that true? Is our obsession with keeping our kids safe doing more harm than good? Today on Lever Time, David Sirota investigates the difference between good parenting and overparenting — and the political history behind our fear that kidnappers are roaming the streets. David enlists the help of author and advocate Lenore Skenazy, a champion for “free-range parenting,” who was once labeled the World's Worst Mom when she let her child ride the New York City subway alone.  Want to hear more? As an exclusive bonus to our paid subscribers, click here for David's full conversation with Lenore Skenazy. Lenore explains how to protect kids on social media, how she developed her parenting philosophy, and so much more. Not yet a paid subscriber?

In this episode, I sit down with Hayley Lever, Chief Executive of Greater Manchester Moving, to explore what authentic leadership really looks like when you're trying to create systemic change. Hayley has been one of the biggest influences on how I think about leadership, culture, and the power of creating environments where people can truly thrive. We dive deep into Hayley's newly published book on leadership, 'Leading from the Balcony', discussing everything from the courage it takes to question cultural norms, to the daily act of resistance required when you're committed to doing things differently. This conversation is raw, honest, and packed with practical wisdom about what it really takes to lead with integrity in a complex world. My three Key Takeaways:Leadership is a practice, not a position – True leadership happens in the micro moments of everyday interactions, not just in boardrooms or through positional power. Everyone has the capacity to lead when we create the conditions that unlock that potential.Positive disruption requires courage and support – Creating meaningful change means challenging entrenched processes and cultural norms, but you can't do it alone. The environment around you—whether that's your chair, your board, your funders, or your team—either enables or constrains your ability to lead authentically.Accountability and care go hand in hand – Creating a thriving culture isn't about making everything easy; it's about being candid, caring, and challenging. It means having difficult conversations with honesty whilst making people feel valued and supported. And crucially, it means being vulnerable enough to admit when you'll fall short.If you're interested in exploring these ideas further and connecting with others who are passionate about systems leadership, complexity or ecological approaches to human advancement, join The Guild of Ecological Explorers by heading to www.thetalentequation.co.uk and clicking the 'join a learning group' button.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-talent-equation-podcast--2186775/support.Ready to explore these ideas further?

Senator Chuck Schumer posted this week in part, “Trump's only principles are hypocrisy and corruption. Bombing unmarked boats in the Caribbean one day, pardoning notorious drug traffickers the next.” How can such high levels of corruption happen and what has led us to this point? Journalist and author David Sirota points out that the staggering levels of corruption that we're seeing within U.S. politics right now is the result of a decades long agenda to essentially make anti-bribery laws unenforceable. Sirota is a co-author of “Master Plan: The Hidden Plot To Legalize Corruption In America” and the founder and editor-in-chief of The Lever. He joins WITHpod to discuss historical parallels to the present moment, corruption being normalized and more.

Lever la main pour saluer est l'un des gestes humains les plus universels, et pourtant son origine est bien plus ancienne qu'on ne l'imagine. Ce geste remonte à l'Antiquité, quand montrer sa main ouverte signifiait : « Je ne porte pas d'arme ». Dans les sociétés guerrières, qu'il s'agisse des Grecs, des Romains ou de nombreux peuples nomades, approcher quelqu'un impliquait toujours un risque. En levant le bras, paume visible, on prouvait instantanément ses intentions pacifiques. C'était un signe de non-agression, devenu peu à peu symbole de respect et de reconnaissance. Dans la Rome antique, on utilise le salut de la main dans les rassemblements politiques ou militaires pour manifester son soutien ou pour adresser un salut formel. Avec le temps, ce geste s'adoucit, se standardise et devient un signe de politesse dans de nombreuses cultures.Ce geste connaît des variantes. Lever la main peut être un simple signe de reconnaissance à distance, un moyen d'attirer l'attention ou un salut plus cérémonial. Sa valeur principale reste néanmoins la même : montrer que l'on vient en paix, montrer quelque chose d'ouvert, de visible, d'honnête. Parce qu'il peut être exécuté sans contact et est compréhensible instantanément, ce salut s'est répandu dans de nombreuses civilisations.La poignée de main, elle, possède une origine voisine mais une fonction légèrement différente. On la retrouve en Europe dès le Moyen Âge : lorsque deux individus se rencontraient, ils saisissaient réciproquement leur main droite – la main de l'épée – pour confirmer qu'aucun ne tenterait d'attaque surprise. Le geste permettait aussi de vérifier qu'aucune dague n'était dissimulée. Cette idée de sécurité partagée a donné naissance à une autre dimension : la confiance. Au fil du temps, la poignée de main est devenue un rituel d'accord, un moyen de conclure un pacte ou un engagement verbal entre deux personnes.La comparaison révèle donc un point essentiel. Lever la main est un geste à distance, accessible, rapide, exprimant la non-agression et la reconnaissance mutuelle. Il suffit de le voir pour en comprendre le sens. La poignée de main, en revanche, implique un contact physique, une proximité et une dimension contractuelle plus forte. Elle scelle quelque chose, qu'il s'agisse d'une rencontre, d'un accord ou d'un respect mutuel plus affirmé.En résumé, lever la main est un héritage symbolique de sécurité visible ; se serrer la main est une version plus intime et engageante du même principe. Ensemble, ces gestes racontent comment les humains ont transformé la méfiance primitive en rituels sociaux de confiance. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

ONE GRAY OCTOBER day in 1898, three British ship captains were sitting in the parlor of the Seamen's Rest, a sort of YMCA for sailors located in the bustling port of Tacoma. They were in a betting mood. One of them, although he didn't know it, was gambling with his life. All three skippers captained full-rigged windjammers. They were H.A. Lever of the Imerhorne; David Thompson of the Earl of Dalhousie; and Charles McBride of the 265-foot clipper Atalanta. Atalanta, you may recall, was the virgin-huntress character in Greek mythology who challenged all her suitors to bet their lives on a footrace against her. If they won, they got to marry her; if they lost, they were put to death. And, until Hippomenes came along and cheated by throwing golden apples, she won, and they died, every time. The Atalanta was named after her in a reference to its great speed; she was one of the fastest sailing ships in the world. But, before too long, the name would seem appropriate in other ways as well. ... (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/1905a.shipwreck-atalanta-wager-gone-wrong-546.html)
