Portugal captivates visitors with its dramatic coastlines, colourful cities, and relaxed pace of life that creates an immediate sense of welcome. We explore this diverse country with Julie Fox, a British writer who has lived in central Portugal since 2007 and helps travellers discover authentic experiences beyond the typical tourist trail.Portugal offers remarkable geographical diversity, from the green, tradition-rich north to the sun-drenched Alentejo and the dramatic coastlines of the AlgarveWhile no longer a “cheap” destination, Portugal continues to offer excellent value, especially for food and wineFirst-time visitors should resist trying to cover too much ground – 7 to 10 days split between Lisbon and Porto provides a perfect introductionLesser-known alternatives often provide better experiences than overcrowded “must-see” attractions such as Pena PalacePortugal's culinary highlights include pastéis de nata, Serra da Estrela cheese, octopus dishes, and unique liqueurs such as ginjinha and Licor BeirãoBring comfortable, non-slip shoes, as Portuguese cobblestones are notoriously slippery even in dry weatherThe best time to visit is during the shoulder seasons (March–April, October–November) when crowds are smaller and temperatures more comfortableFor more Portugal travel tips and itinerary ideas, visit Julie's website at JulieDawnFox.comGuest - Julie Dawn Fox from JulieDawnFox.com Show notes - Episode 79

Sometimes you just have to go back and sit in its shade....On this special episode we're playing a little bit of catch up and looking into a film that had it's World Premiere back at Fantastic Fest this year, it's time to sit under 'The Tree Of Knowledge'.It's the story of Gaspard (Rui Pedro Silva), a teenager from the suburbs of Lisbon, who falls into the hands of the Ogre, a man who has made a pact with the Devil. The Ogre uses the boy to attract tourists, whom he transforms into animals and then kills. Gaspard escapes with a donkey and a dog that he has grown fond of, and in an enchanted manor, he meets the spirit of Queen D. Maria I of Portugal. Meanwhile, enraged, the Ogre sets off in pursuit.I had the distinct pleasure of sitting down with filmmaker Eugène Green to talk about the origins of the story and so very much more....

From playing reggae-infused jazz in his open Lisbon home studio to reflecting on mental health, addiction, creativity, and spirituality, Jazzafari's story is as wild and beautiful as his music.Once confined to a madhouse, João now channels his experiences into rhythm, art, and soulful expression — blending jazz, reggae, and experimental sounds into something uniquely his own. In this intimate portrait, filmed for People Of Lisbon, he opens up about his family's artistic legacy, his recovery journey, and his belief that life — like jazz — is all about improvisation.  / jazzafari  Join Club People of Lisbon!Unlock exclusive access to events, behind-the-scenes content, and special offers for just €10/month!

Families do not survive by chance — they stand strong by choice, by prayer, and by surrendering the household to God. When Christ is the center, unity is restored, peace reigns, and the home becomes a place of refuge, not warfare.Across the world — from Malaysia to Zimbabwe, from Portugal to Indonesia — believers are praying over marriages, children, prodigals, broken relationships, and generational promises. This prayer is for every home that needs healing, every marriage that needs strength, and every parent believing for their sons and daughters to walk with God.Let this be your confession today: “Lord, my house belongs to You.

When we moved to Portugal, it was the third country that we had lived in while working on our podcasting website. Yeah, we realised that, of course, working digitally, you can live anywhere in the world. And with online teaching these days, it's become even easier.当我们搬到葡萄牙时，那已经是我们在经营播客网站期间居住过的第三个国家了。是啊，我们意识到，既然是数字化工作，那其实你可以生活在世界的任何角落。而如今随着线上教学的普及，这变得更加容易了。Yes, and perhaps it's not surprising that there's been a really sharp increase in the no longer work from a set office. So if you can do your job by opening a laptop in any location in the world, why not move from one virtual desk in your home country to another on the other side of the globe? We're talking about digital nomads. Yes, and interestingly, there are actually some countries which are actively encouraging business people to move to their country.是的，也许并不奇怪，如今越来越多人不再局限于固定的办公室工作。如果你只需打开笔电，就能在世界上任何地方完成工作，那为何不从祖国的“虚拟办公桌”，搬到地球另一端的“虚拟办公桌”呢？我们今天要谈的就是“数字游民”。有趣的是，现在确实有一些国家在积极鼓励专业人士迁居到他们那里。Yeah, I mean, it's interesting, isn't it, the reasons why? I mean, recently, the tourism industry has suffered a lot, hasn't it? So it's a way for countries to attract visitors and they offer a good incentive to work there. Yes, one country I noticed, which sounds very nice, the bar is Barbados. Yeah, fancy living on a Caribbean island for a year.是啊，这背后的原因也挺有趣的。近年来旅游业受到了很大打击，对吧？因此，这成为各国吸引外国访客、刺激经济的一种新方式——他们提供良好的条件，邀请人们来当地工作。没错，我注意到有个听起来很诱人的国家——巴巴多斯。想象一下，在加勒比海的岛上住上一年，多么惬意啊。Exactly, and I saw on their website, there's a personal message from the Prime Minister and he asks... No, she... She asks... Do you need a change of scenery? Can you work anywhere as long as you have access to the internet? Come to Barbados. Yeah, absolutely. So what do you need to do? You need to buy a welcome stamp, which is basically a visa really, isn't it? Which costs about one and a half thousand pounds.没错，我还在他们的网站上看到总理的亲自留言。他——不，是她——写道：“你是否需要换个环境？只要能上网，你是否就能在任何地方工作？那就来巴巴多斯吧！”完全没错。那么要怎么做呢？你需要购买一种叫做“欢迎印章”的签证，本质上就是一种工作签证，费用大约是1500英镑。Yes, and the other thing is they're only after people who can earn at least £37,000 a year. But people do that, Richard. Yes, true enough, true enough.是的，另外一个条件是——他们只接受年收入至少三万七千英镑的人。不过，Richard，很多人其实都能达到这个标准。没错，确实如此。Yeah, I think that's quite tempting. But it's a bit hot, maybe, if you're tempted to go to a cooler climate. Estonia, one of the Baltic states, has also got a scheme, haven't they? They've opened applications for what they call a digital nomad visa.我觉得这确实很诱人。不过那地方有点太热了。如果你更向往凉爽的气候，那么波罗的海国家之一——爱沙尼亚，也推出了类似的计划。他们开放申请一种名为“数字游民签证”的项目。And you have to earn about the same amount there as well, don't you? It's about £40,000. And I think Estonia is at the forefront of digitisation anyway. They've got fantastic coverage of the internet there, I know that.而且在那里你也需要差不多的收入，对吧？大约四万英镑一年。我认为爱沙尼亚本来就在数字化领域走在前沿，他们的网络覆盖非常出色，我知道那一点。So it's interesting. But obviously there are some drawbacks. Yes, obviously moving country is always going to be stressful, isn't it? But of course one of the main issues, of course, is tax, as always.这确实很有趣。不过显然也有一些缺点。是啊，搬到另一个国家总是会带来压力。而且最主要的问题之一——当然，还是税务问题。And anyone who works abroad, even for a short time, they need to be completely aware of who they should pay their taxes to. And also, Richard, there are those complicated corporate tax rules as well, aren't there? So if a company allows an employee to work in another country, they can be negatively affected by that. Yes, there's been a number of cases in the news recently, hasn't there? Now, the other interesting thing to consider, Richard, is if you have clients or customers on the other side of the world, because there's a huge time difference.任何在国外工作的人，即使只是短期，也必须完全清楚自己该向哪个国家缴税。而且，Richard，还有那些复杂的公司税规定，对吧？如果一家公司允许员工在另一国家远程工作，它自己也可能因此受到不利影响。没错，最近新闻里已经出现了不少这样的案例。另外，还有一点值得注意——如果你的客户在地球的另一边，那巨大的时差会是个问题。So if you're having to set up meetings, or you want to respond to emails in a timely manner, something to think about. Yes, time-sensitive jobs can be difficult. So, Jackie, if anyone is interested in becoming a digital nomad, what do you suggest they do first off? Well, I think going on to nomadlist.com, which is a fascinating website.如果你需要安排会议，或者希望及时回复邮件，那就必须仔细考虑时差问题。是的，对于时间敏感型的工作来说，这确实很棘手。那么，Jackie，如果有人想成为数字游民，你建议他们首先做什么呢？嗯，我认为可以先上一个非常有趣的网站——nomadlist.com。It gives information about cities all around the world. So, Richard, you went on to the website. I did, yes.这个网站提供世界各地城市的相关资讯。Richard，你上去看过吧？是的，我看过。So which city is number one? Number one city for digital nomads, Lisbon. So at least we're in the right country!那么排名第一的城市是哪一个？数字游民最喜欢的第一名城市是——里斯本。至少我们现在住的国家选对了！

Send us a textWe record live at EY Lisbon – with Sérgio Ferreira (Partner, EY Portugal) and Jo Smets (President, CCLBL & CEO, BluePanda) – to explore how AI moves from cost savings to growth, why the best CMOs practice augmented intelligence, and how digital agents will soon work alongside people. We unpack trust, search shifts, reskilling, sustainability, and the new consulting playbook.A packed Lisbon room. A candid conversation with Sérgio Ferreira, Partner at EY and Jo Smets, President, CCLBL & CEO, BluePanda. And a straight shot of strategy on how AI shifts from cost-cutting to true growth. We take you inside real examples—finance, HR, retail, and contact centers—where automation speeds the work while people make the judgment. The result is faster decisions, 24/7 service, and new operating models that put digital assistants in every pocket and at every counter.We dig into the trust problem head-on. When “good enough” AI content floods the feed, the edge moves to teams that show their process and protect their voice. You'll hear why we frame AI as augmented intelligence, not artificial intelligence: use machines to gather, draft, and summarize, then apply human editing, taste, and accountability. That mindset becomes essential as we move through three phases: assistants that co-create, agentic AI that works autonomously, and a near future where leaders manage mixed teams of people and digital employees.Customer behavior is changing just as fast. People seek direct answers, not links, which upends SEO and demands distinct expertise, structure, and signals to surface in AI results. We share how to adapt content strategy, build AI literacy and fluency across teams, and maintain strong consulting value by compressing research time while doubling down on human creativity. We also tackle sustainability pressures with pragmatic optimism—acknowledging energy and water costs while highlighting how AI accelerates breakthroughs in materials, medicine, and clean energy.If this conversation helps you reframe your roadmap, follow and share the show with a friend who leads marketing or product. Leave a quick review to support the work, and grab The Future CMO on Amazon for deeper playbooks. Most of all, don't wait for the future to lead you—lead the future.This episode was recorded at the EY headquarters in Lisbon on October 29, 2025.

In Queer Money® episode 613, we sit down with Pedro Lino, CEO of Optimize Investment Partners, to unpack the Portugal Golden Opportunities Fund—a SEC-registered, PFIC-compliant mutual fund designed to qualify investors for Portugal's Golden Visa (residency now, citizenship later). We cover why a Golden Visa can be smart “life-hedging” in uncertain times, how the fund works (stocks/bonds, no real estate), what's changing in Europe, using self-directed IRAs, costs, timelines, and how one investment can include your spouse, kids, and even parents through family reunification.Whether your dream is six months in Lisbon and six months stateside, a second passport for your kids' future, or a values-aligned Plan B if U.S. politics keeps fraying your nerves, this episode gives you the details to decide with confidence.TakeawaysA Golden Visa is optionality: live/work/travel in the EU now or later—without leaving the U.S. immediately.Portugal is consistently LGBTQ+ friendly, with significantly lower healthcare costs and robust protections.The current path is via eligible investment funds (no real estate); fund must meet strict criteria (≥60% PT companies, no real estate, long-only, five-year availability).Self-directed IRAs can be used; look for SEC-registered and PFIC-compliant structures to keep U.S. tax/reporting clean.One qualifying investment can include spouse, kids, and parents via family reunification, creating a multi-generational Plan B.Chapters00:00 – Dream setup & why a Plan B now01:22 – What a Golden Visa actually gives you (residency → citizenship)03:18 – You don't have to move today: optionality for LGBTQ+ families05:02 – Why Portugal for LGBTQ+ safety, community & healthcare07:10 – Real-estate option removed: what changed and why funds remain10:12 – Inside the Golden Opportunities Fund (eligibility rules, asset mix)13:15 – Returns, risk, and diversification vs. buying a single property16:02 – Using self-directed IRAs; SEC & PFIC compliance explained19:04 – Demand, timelines, and potential policy shifts to watch22:31 – Costs, EUR/USD realities & creative ways families reach €500K26:05 – Family reunification: who can be included under one application28:40 – Downturn strategy: dividend-rich Portuguese market & bonds31:12 – What Optimize handles vs. what U.S. custodians/lawyers handle34:20 – Wrap-up & how to send us follow-up questionsDownload your free Happy Gay Retirement CalculatorMentioned in this episode:Get Your Portugal Golden Visa Faster Here!Want a European passport with access to living in nearly any European country?

What happens when early-stage founders realise their go-to-market strategy just isn't working? Do they double down on outdated advice or take a fresh look at how modern buyers actually engage?  In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Richard Lowry, founder of Springboard IQ, to unpack how he's helping startups rebuild broken GTM strategies in just seven days through a crowdsourced, operator-led model that challenges everything we think we know about growth. Richard explains how Springboard IQ brings together six active operators to co-create a go-to-market blueprint that's fast, focused, and grounded in the realities of today's market. This approach delivers practical strategy and design rather than execution, giving founders clarity on where to focus their time and energy. As Richard puts it, founders should save their passion for the demo because that's where it really matters. The conversation explores why technical founders often mis-hire sales talent, why relying on outdated accelerator advice can derail growth, and why many teams hit a “GTM wall” long before real scale begins. We also discuss why the future of GTM might look very different from the digital-first strategies of the past. As inboxes flood with automated outreach and AI-generated content, Richard believes human-led activation through curated events, community experiences, and even spontaneous moments of connection will define the next era of startup growth. It's a conversation that blends practical lessons, honest stories (including one involving a soup kitchen in Lisbon), and a call to bring the human element back to how we sell, connect, and grow. So, could a crowdsourcing strategy from active operators be the smarter way for startups to go to market? And in an era of AI-saturated noise, will the next big differentiator simply be showing up in person? I'd love to hear your thoughts after you listen.

In this episode of Communicable, Erin McCreary and Angela Huttner are joined by Barbara Trautner (St. Louis, USA) and Valéry Lavergne (Vancouver, Canada), the co-chairs and leading authors of the first IDSA guideline on complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI), which was published a few months ago [1]. Together, they discuss the process of developing the guideline from its conception in 2018, the new definition of cUTI, their stepwise approach to clinical decision-making, and some case-by-case scenarios for common antibiotics. They also elaborate on how this guideline compares (and contrasts) to other existing UTI guidelines—including the previous IDSA guideline for UTI [2] —and the clinical need to supply frontline clinicians to identify and distinguish complicated cases from the uncomplicated ones. The episode closes with what essential clinical questions the guests hope to tackle next.  This episode was edited by Kathryn Hostettler and peer reviewed by Maria Ana Flores of Santa Maria Local Health Unit, Lisbon, Portugal.Other resources:European Urologic Association guidelinesUpToDateFDA guidance on complicated UTI ReferencesTrautner BW, et al.

The belief that the movement of heavenly bodies shapes or predicts events has been around for thousands of years and can be found in many ancient cultures. Even today, some people look to their horoscopes when seeking insight on life decisions. Others read their horoscopes just for fun, without really believing in astrology, or using it to make serious choices. Still others would never dream of reading their horoscopes, viewing this as a form of divination or witchcraft which could open the door to demonic forces. The Catechism of the Catholic Church lists astrology among other divination practices (including conjuring the dead, palm reading, and recourse to mediums) that Catholics should avoid. Pope Francis reminded the faithful to cling to Jesus, not horoscopes or fortunetellers, for security in life. But do these warnings refer to all uses of astrology? What about people who read their horoscopes for fun, or look to the positions of the celestial bodies when planning agricultural practices like planting crops or pruning fruit trees?  On this episode of Glad You Asked, the hosts talk to historian Luis Campos Ribeiro about the origins of astrology, how Christianity has regarded it over the centuries, and what the Catholic Church teaches today about looking to the stars for guidance. Ribeiro is a historian of art and of science, with a focus on astrology, astronomy and their connections to art in the Medieval and Early Modern eras. He has a doctorate degree in History and Philosophy of Sciences from the University of Lisbon, and has written multiple articles, and two books, including Jesuit Astrology: Prognostication and Science in Early Modern Culture (Brill).

Over the summer my family and I went on a vacation to Europe. We spent about 7 days in Spain before wrapping up in Portugal. During my time there I wanted to get a t-shirt for a soccer team from each city we stopped in. I got something in Valencia and Seville. But it's the shirt I got in Lisbon that has been creating a bit of an issue for me. I got a shirt for the team Benfica. Every time I wear this shift out in public someone stops me to comment about their love of Benfica. I had never even heard of this team before visiting Lisbon. It's been kind of wild to see what kind of fanbase they have here in America.One gentleman who stopped me was Billy Harte. He came up to me in a coffee shop in Towson, MD. We spoke for a few minutes and he started telling me all about his new soccer apparel company called The Pitch Performance. I mean, it's brand new. The brand officially launched earlier this year (2025). I thought his story was really interesting. I wanted to know more, so I figured you all would like to know more as well. I hope you enjoy this conversation.

Want Portuguese you can actually use the moment you land? We invited our friend David to walk us through a traveler's toolkit that works in both Brazil and Portugal, focusing on sounds, phrases, and tiny tweaks that turn confusion into connection. From the musical softness of Brazilian Portuguese to the crisp edges you'll hear in Lisbon, we break down what changes, what stays the same, and how to be understood anywhere you roam.We start with high‑impact essentials: bom dia vs boa noite, when tchau fits, and why “obrigado/obrigada” depends on who's speaking. David demystifies the nasal vowels that give Portuguese its character—think sim that feels like “seen,” and não with a gentle hum you feel more than hear. You'll learn how to get attention with com licença, own a slip with desculpe, and navigate everyday moments with clarity: “Fala inglês?” “Falo.” If the reply races by, “mais uma vez?” slows the world down without killing the vibe.Then we get practical with maps and menus. Use onde fica to find the places travelers need most: o banheiro, a estação, o ponto de ônibus, o hotel, a farmácia. Order like a local by naming the item plus por favor—água, café com leite, chá—no stress, no essays. Introductions are simple and warm: “Meu nome é…” followed by “muito prazer” builds instant rapport. We also cover numbers with a twist—um/uma and dois/duas reflect gendered nouns—so you can ask for duas águas and then request a conta with confidence.This is language stripped to what works: sound patterns you can mimic, phrases built for real life, and a traveler's mindset that favors clarity over perfection. If Portugal's tiles or Brazil's beaches are calling, this guide gets you from shy nods to small wins fast. Hit play, learn a handful, and see how far “tudo bem?” can take you. Enjoyed the episode?

Funding a Portugal Golden VisaPortugal has jumped in popularity. The European nation has inarguably been one of the most popular golden visa programs to pursue. While buying a house no longer gets one residency, thousands are still choosing to make the country their home. For folk from the United States, there is an opportunity to use 401K and Retirement funds to actually fund a golden visa to Portugal. What are the options or alternatives to using retirement funds for folk from other countries? Are there any tax benefits? Mona and Rebecca sit down with Tiago Gali Macdeo to discuss funding options as well as to why Portugal continues to draw so many applicants from the United States and around the world. What challenges can one expect to face? And does the country really live up to all that hype? 

Cristiano Ronaldo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Cristiano Ronaldo has dominated global headlines yet again this week blending record-breaking feats on the pitch with international intrigue and typically viral fan moments. Just yesterday Portugal News reported that Ronaldo became the all-time leading goalscorer in World Cup qualifying history after notching his 40th and 41st goals during Portugal's dramatic 2-2 draw against Hungary in Lisbon. This surpasses the previous record set by Guatemala's Carlos Ruiz. Ronaldo's double wasn't enough to clinch Portugal's automatic ticket to the 2026 World Cup but his individual tally—now 948 career goals—continues to defy belief at age 40, making him the only player with 143 international goals in 225 appearances, stretching the upper limit of what's supposed to be possible for a footballer of his age. Associated Press and CNN both carried the headline “Cristiano Ronaldo Sets New Scoring Record in World Cup Qualifiers” marking another chapter in his spectacular, never-ending rewrite of football's history books.After the game, Ronaldo took to Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) to rally his teammates and thank fans, writing “We are getting closer and closer to our goal! Let's go Portugal!” The post racked up millions of likes and dominated sports feeds, with media including Sportskeeda and DailySports highlighting his continued leadership within a new generation. As if scripted for social media, images from the match showing Ronaldo comforting a young mascot—who tearfully asked for a hug—went viral across Threads and Instagram, reinforcing his dual image as icon and heartthrob.In business and global brand news, speculation is swirling around the anticipated visit to India later this month. Indian sports outlets and Trade Brains are reporting that Ronaldo's club Al-Nassr is set to play FC Goa as part of the AFC Champions League Two campaign on October 22 at Fatorda Stadium, marking what would be Ronaldo's first-ever official appearance in India. While Al-Nassr has reportedly initiated his visa and security arrangements, neither the club nor Ronaldo have officially confirmed he will travel—squad rotation, injuries, or personal priorities might yet intervene, a point Indian sources repeatedly flag as unconfirmed. Regardless, the mere chance of Ronaldo coming to India has already set off a sponsorship and fan frenzy, with local authorities bracing for possible record crowds and a tourism boom.The blend of history on the pitch, global business maneuverings, and that viral display of humanity towards a child—these past few days perfectly encapsulate the continued gravitational pull of Cristiano Ronaldo, a man who remains, even at 40, the world's most talked-about footballer.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Friends of the Rosary,On October 13, 1917, a crowd of 70,000 people — believers and skeptics alike — witnessed in Fatima, Portugal, the “Miracle of the Sun,” or “the day the sun danced.”Our Lady of Fatima had promised the children— Francisco, Jacinta, and Lucia, ages 10, 9, and 7 — that during the last of her six appearances, she would provide a sign so people would believe in the apparitions and in her message.On that day, the rainy sky cleared up, the clouds dispersed, and the ground, which had been wet and muddy from the rain, dried up. A transparent veil came over the sun and multicolored lights were strewn across the landscape. The sun then began to spin, twirling in the sky, and at one point appeared to plunge in a mighty zigzag course toward the earth.The crowd was terrified, fearing this was the end of the world. However, the sun reversed course and, retracing its zigzagging course, returned to its normal place in the heavens. All of this transpired in approximately ten minutes. After realizing they were not doomed, the crowd began ecstatically laughing, crying, shouting, and weeping. Many discovered their previously drenched clothing to be perfectly dry.The stunning event contradicted the atheistic regimes at the time, which is evidenced by the fact that the first newspaper to report on the miracle on a full front page was an anti-Catholic, Masonic newspaper in Lisbon, “O Seculo.”This last Marian apparition in Fatima showed that God is present in human history and doesn't abandon humanity.The miracle of the sun was understood by the people as confirmation that the three children were telling the truth about the Marian apparitions and the messages of the Secret of Fatima, which consists of three parts.The first part was a frightening vision of hell, “where the souls of poor sinners go,” and contained an urgent plea from Our Lady for acts of prayer and sacrifice to save souls, with particular emphasis on praying the rosary and devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.The second part of the “Secret” specifically prophesied the outbreak of World War II and contained the prediction of the immense damage that Russia would do to humanity by abandoning the Christian faith and embracing Communism's totalitarianism.The third part was not revealed until 2000. Its revelation coincided with the beatification of Francisco and Jacinta. It did not contain any striking or cataclysmic prediction, but, instead, the vision supported and affirmed the immense suffering endured by witnesses of the faith in the last century of the second millennium.Sister Lucia, the surviving member of the Fatima trio, confirmed that in the vision “the Bishop clothed in white,” who prays for all the faithful, is the Pope. As he makes his way with great difficulty towards the Cross amid the corpses of those who were martyred (bishops, priests, men and women religious, and many lay people), he too falls to the ground, apparently dead, under a hail of gunfire.That vision could have predicted the 1981 attack on Pope John Paul II's life. The Pope has always credited the Virgin for his survival. Or it may be a portrayal of the Church's ongoing struggle against secularism and anti-Christian movements, as well as a continuing call to prayer, sacrifice, and devotion to Our Lady of Fatima.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Why does nationalism look less like a mistake and more like a structural feature of modern capitalism? In this provocative and deeply researched episode, Professor Zlatko Hadžidedić explains why nationalism often functions as the social glue that stabilizes capitalism's contradictions and why the current phase of hyper-capitalism risks producing more authoritarian nationalisms over the next decades. Using Bosnia (the Lisbon maps and Dayton aftermath), the Balkans, and contemporary flashpoints as case studies, Zlatko connects theory to concrete history: how imperial legacies, external power strategies, and the logic of the military-industrial complex help produce recurring conflict. He also shows how consumer tech, information flows, and media narratives help pacify populations while power consolidates.   He explains: ⬛ Why nationalism can be a structural necessity for capitalism ⬛ How “hyper-capitalism” creates conditions for authoritarian nationalism ⬛ The Lisbon maps & Bosnia case study — why partition was engineered and what it means today ⬛ How information, phones and consumer culture shape political consent ⬛ Why great-power strategies sometimes manufacture zones of instability ⬛ What citizens and leaders can do to cultivate nuance, media literacy, and democratic resilience   ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction: Capitalism, Nationhood & the Big Question 03:10 - Thesis: “No Capitalism Without Nationalism” — the argument explained 08:45 - The Lisbon maps & Bosnia: how partition was made possible 13:30 - From Yugoslavia to the Balkans: external influence and local politics 18:20 - Imperial legacies, Mackinder & geopolitical strategy 22:45 - Hyper-capitalism defined: inequality, pacification, and authoritarian pressures 27:50 - Phones, streaming & control: the tech-consumer pact 32:40 - Gaza, Ukraine & manufactured instability — strategic utility of conflict 37:55 - Predictions: the next 20–30 years of nationalism and power 42:10 - Practical takeaways: media literacy, nuance, and democratic repair 46:00 - Closing reflections & recommended reading   This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in political economy, history, geopolitics, and media, especially listeners who want frameworks that connect the dots between capitalism, nationalism, and contemporary conflict.

Our guest in this episode is Emma Möller, an AI strategist and former diplomat with a fascinating journey from a small village in Sweden to the forefront of global technology strategy. Emma helps leaders navigate the complex systems of AI, drawing on her deep understanding of how the frameworks we build shape our human reality. In our chat, we explore how to embrace AI's potential with a principled and human-centered approach. Key points discussed include:* Design AI systems with intention, recognizing they actively shape our reality and lived experience.* Avoid “intellectual laziness” by using AI as a partner for inquiry, not a replacement for curiosity.* Cultivate your human curiosity through diverse learning to expand your awareness and unlock AI's creative potential.Listen to the podcast to find out more.Innovabiz Substack is a reader-supported publication.

Her journey is as fascinating as her insights, taking her from a small village of 60 people in northern Sweden, deeply connected to nature, to the complex, human-made systems of international policy and now, artificial intelligence. Our conversation was a masterclass in how to approach the incredible power of AI not with blind optimism or fear, but with a principled, human-centered curiosity that feels both vital and reassuring in this rapidly changing world.Emma's perspective is shaped by a profound understanding that the systems we design, be they legal, economic, or technological, fundamentally create the reality we inhabit. She spoke of feeling a disconnect between the rich, sensory experience of her childhood and the generalized, often biased frameworks of the modern world. This lens is what makes her approach to AI so powerful; she sees it not just as code, but as a new and incredibly influential system we are building, and she urges us to be deeply intentional about what kind of reality we want it to create.The Seductive Trap of Becoming ‘Intellectually Lazy'One of the most memorable moments in our chat was when Emma warned against the subtle danger of becoming “intellectually lazy.” It's a brilliant phrase that perfectly captures the seductive ease of letting generative AI do our thinking for us. We've all felt it: the temptation to accept the first answer from ChatGPT without question, or to let it generate prose without infusing it with our own unique perspective and critical thought. Emma reminded us that these tools are often designed to agree with us, which can create an echo chamber if we're not careful.The antidote, she suggests, is to consciously maintain our curiosity and use AI as a partner for deeper inquiry, not as a replacement for it. This really resonated with me. I shared the story of how I used an AI, which I named Yuki, to help plan my recent trip to Japan. Yuki handled the logistical heavy lifting: train schedules, travel times, which freed me up to dive deeper into the history and culture. The AI built the foundation, but the curiosity, the questions, and the actual human experience remained firmly in my hands. It was a perfect example of using the technology to enhance, not diminish, our engagement with the world.The Unscheduled Joy of Getting LostThis led to another beautiful point: the importance of allowing for the unexpected. Emma spoke about how some of the best adventures and innovations come from mistakes, or from getting a little bit lost. An AI can create a perfectly optimized itinerary, but it can't schedule the serendipitous joy of stumbling upon a hidden alleyway or the creative spark that comes from a plan gone awry. If we delegate too much of our decision-making to algorithms, we risk engineering these essential human moments out of our lives.Ultimately, Emma argues that our most powerful tool for navigating the age of AI is our own awareness, which we must actively cultivate. Her advice was wonderfully simple: read books. Talk to people with different perspectives. Spend time in nature. In short, we must continually expand our own “information landscape” so that we can bring richer, more creative questions to the AI. It is, as she puts it, a “mirror of our own awareness,” and will only ever be as insightful as we are.AI as a Leadership Challenge, Not Just a Tech SolutionBringing this into the business world, Emma stressed that successful AI adoption is not a technology problem; it's a leadership and culture challenge. The leaders who are getting it right are not looking for a magic AI solution to plug in. Instead, they are focusing on the real, day-to-day problems their teams face and empowering them to find ways that AI can genuinely help. It's about creating a system for change that supports people, listens to their concerns, and fosters collaboration.This conversation with Emma Möller was a powerful reminder that while technology will continue to evolve at a dizzying pace, the core principles of human-centered progress remain the same. It's about staying curious, taking responsibility for the tools we use, and never losing sight of the fact that the goal of innovation should be to create more space for the messy, beautiful, and irreplaceable experience of being human.The Buzz - Our Innovation RoundHere are Emma's answers to the questions of our innovation round. Listen to the conversation to get the full scoop.* Innovative AI for Human Connection – Using AI to analyze an organization's data to break down internal silos and foster mutual understanding between teams.* Best AI Integration Example – Leveraging voice-to-text tools to work more efficiently, thereby creating more time for screen-free, in-person connection.* Differentiate with Connection – Stay relentlessly curious by reading books and intentionally connecting with new people to learn from their unique perspectives.ActionIf you haven't already, start using AI. Consciously create space to remain curious and make mistakes, and then go outside for a walk to enjoy nature.Reach OutYou can reach out and thank Emma on her website. She also has a wonderful newsletter called The Lumiera Loop.Links:* Website - Lumiera* Lumiera's Newsletter - The Lumiera Loop* LinkedInCool Things About Emma* She's a former diplomat and lawyer. This isn't just a career change; it's a fundamental shift in worlds. Her expertise in AI doesn't come from a typical tech background, but from a deep understanding of human systems, language, and international relations. This unique origin story frames her entire perspective on technology in a fascinating way.* She wants to translate information into smell. In a conversation about large language models and digital artifacts, her most exciting experiment is wonderfully human and unexpected. This reveals a playful, creative, and deeply sensory side that looks for understanding far beyond the screen.* She's a global citizen. Born near a ski resort in the north of Sweden, she later studied at Monash University in Melbourne (Jürgen's alma mater) and now lives and works in Lisbon, Portugal. This isn't just a list of places; it paints a picture of someone who is adaptable and thinks with a naturally global perspective.* She finds text to be an “unnatural medium.” Despite being a self-proclaimed “big fan of languages” and having a background that relied heavily on text, she has come to the conclusion that it's an artificial way for humans to communicate.
