"I know all the things."I hear this constantly. On calls, in my membership. She's read all the quit-lit. She's listened to hundreds of podcast episodes. She's done therapy, maybe twice. She can name her triggers and explain her own drinking patterns better than most professionals could.And she is still pouring a glass at five o'clock.Here's the thing about that.. at the moment, nobody is reflecting anything back to you. Nobody is helping you see what you can't see by yourself.That's what this episode is about.You have never seen your own face. Not once, not directly. And the same thing is true about your patterns, your language, the story you've told so many times you've stopped hearing it.Which means whatever is keeping you stuck is sitting in the part you can't see.You're a capable woman who has solved enormous problems. If you could see this one, you would have handled it years ago.In this episode I'm talking about why reading more books won't get you there, what a real person can do for you that a book never will, and why "I know all the things" might be the most effective way to keep help out that I've ever come across.This episode is for you if: You've read every book about drinking and you're still drinking You can explain exactly why you drink and it hasn't changed a thing You've tried therapy before and decided it doesn't work for you You're the capable one, the strong one, the one everybody calls You've never said the words out loud to another human being You're exhausted from working on this by yourself Please give it a listen!ABOUT:Angela Mascenik is a certified life coach who helps women stop over-drinking and start living.

Chris Chavez, Kyle Merber, and Preet Majithia are back with lots to unpack, including two Diamond Leagues, a half marathon world record, a robot, a Rupp record, and breaking news at the end of the episode.Discussed in this episode:– Yomif Kejelcha, 56:51 half marathon world record, Buenos Aires: Cuts 21 seconds off Jacob Kiplimo's 57:20 from Lisbon in March (note: the Lisbon run hasn't been formally ratified yet either). Kejelcha's splits: 13:45 through 5K, 27:19 through 10K (19 seconds off world record pace), then he turns it on: 13:22 for 10K-to-15K, closes the final kilometer in 2:32.– Silesia men's 1500m — Ethan Strand wins in 3:30, 11th to first: Cole Hocker third (3:31.17, first race since Pre Classic, seven weeks off), Jakob Ingebrigtsen fourth (3:31.19, ten days after winning the European 5K), Phanuel Koech second (3:31.14). Splits: 1:50.4 last 800, 54.3 last lap, 26.4 last 200 (13.2/13.2 for Ethan). Strand ran wide in lane two for much of the race, avoided the traffic that boxed Cole and Jakob, and had a clear line in the final 100.– Jakob Ingebrigtsen's return to the 1500: Ten days since Europeans. Ran to the front from 600 to go, accelerated sharply in 13.7 for that section, closed at a level that wasn't far off Ethan.– World Athletics Seb Coe Super Invites — Budapest 1500 expands to 13: Both Josh Kerr and Jakob Ingebrigtsen confirmed. World Athletics broke their own rule because the matchup was too good to keep from fans.– Silesia women's 1500m — Tsigie Duguma wins in 3:55.06 (world lead, PB): Goes from fifth to first in the final 100 meters with her trademark last-50 burst.– Lausanne 5000m — Americans go 2-3-4: Birhanu Balew wins in 12:57. Parker Wolfe second in 12:58.2, Nico Young third in 12:58.3, Graham Blanks fourth in 12:59.16. Parker Wolfe is the best American 5K runner right now.– Lausanne men's 800m — Wanyonyi wins in 1:42, first DL 800 victory of the year: Marco Arop went through 400 in 49.1 — deliberately trying to set up a world record attempt (Rudisha's split was 49.2).– Lausanne women's 800m — Audrey Werro wins in 1:55.33, Femke Bol second in 1:55.41: Femke sets a new Dutch national record (tying, then surpassing Ellen van Langen's 1992 Olympic final mark).– Silesia women's 100m — Melissa Jefferson-Wooden wins, 10.78: Extends unbeaten 100m streak to 10 races.– Rai Benjamin confirms the double at World Ultimate: Flat 400 on day one, 400H semis and final on days two and three.– The robot: Lightning, a humanoid robot built by smartphone maker Honor, ran 9.32 at the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing — breaking Bolt's world record of 9.58.– Galen Rupp, 61:29 at the Antrim Coast Half Marathon: US 40+ record.

Boris Walbaum is the founder and president of Forward College, an innovative higher education institution built for the AI era. Students study across Lisbon, Paris, and Berlin over three years, earning a University of London degree while never setting foot in London — all in a university with no lecture halls. Boris is also an AI and future skills expert, a former government advisor, and author of Excellent Isn't What You Think? A Book on Education and Parenting in the Age of AI.Boris explains why AI is a fundamentally different disruption than Covid — because it's an "imitation technology" designed to replicate what we do — and why that forces us to ask not just how we teach, but why we learn at all. We talk about the loss of curiosity in classrooms, the reproductive nature of education systems, nonviolent communication and feedback, and how the deepest driver of learning has always been human connection.Takeaways:Forward College offers a degree designed for the AI era, incorporating studies across three major European cities: Lisbon, Paris, and Berlin.The educational model emphasizes real-world skills and critical thinking, moving away from traditional industrial-era paradigms of learning.AI is viewed as a disruptive force in education, necessitating a reevaluation of what and how we teach to prepare future generations.The college promotes a relational pedagogy, focusing on small group learning and personal development rather than traditional lecture hall formats.Boris Walbaum, as the founder, advocates for education that fosters adaptability and emotional intelligence to meet future challenges.The emphasis on human connection in learning is viewed as essential for fostering curiosity, creativity, and engagement among students.Chapters:00:02 - Introducing Forward College and Its Unique Approach04:43 - The Impact of AI on Education11:15 - The Need for Educational Reform in the Age of AI17:41 - The Future of Education and Job Market Dynamics23:35 - Navigating Educational Experiences: From Regattas to Ocean Racing29:24 - The Importance of Personal Development in Education35:42 - The Role of AI in Education41:37 - The Importance of Environment in Learning46:04 - The Art of Feedback in Educationhttps://forward-college.eu/our-vision/Excellence Isn't What You Think: Education and Parenting in the Age of AIhttps://www.facebook.com/ForwardCollegeOfficial

If you want to stop over-drinking but you keep abandoning every journal, tracker, urge that hits, and morning routine you start, this episode is for you. Quitting drinking gets a lot easier when the work stops feeling like a punishment.For twenty years, I gave alcohol the good glass, the beautiful thoughts, the longing feelings, the candle, the music, and the best hour of my day.Then I started doing the work to stop over-drinking and I handed that an exhausted self at the end of the day, no patience left and no kind words.And then I wondered why I kept going back to the wine. Obviously, I changed that and learned how to be with myself and accept what was happening inside of me and made that ritual something I wanted to connect with.The problem for most of you is that you've started a practice you don't want to return to.We come back to places that have been tended. That's true of a kitchen, and it's true of the ten minutes you spend with yourself every morning. So in this episode I'm walking you through how to make the work of quitting drinking beautiful enough that you actually want to come back to it tomorrow. Almost none of it costs money. What we cover: Why you keep quitting your own practice The outside stuff — the notebook, the chair, the hour — and why that's only a small part Slowing your breath down before you start, because you cannot arrive somewhere beautiful at a sprint Greeting yourself when you sit down: thanks for connecting with me today Why "thank you" builds something that "good job" never will The tone you take with yourself on the page, and why nobody returns to a place where they get yelled at How you end a session, and why that decides whether you come back What I learned about tending yourself walking 173 miles on the Camino de Santiago What to do when the emotion you're processing is genuinely hard and there's nothing pretty about it This one is for the woman who looks completely fine on the outside, the career, the family, the house, and is quietly exhausted from the cycle of over-drinking and breaking promises to herself. Especially if you're in a season of change: retirement, an empty nest, a career shift, newly single, caring for aging parents. You already know how to make something beautiful enough to return to every single day. You did it with wine for twenty years. We're taking that back and pointing it at you.ABOUT ANGELA:I'm Angela Mascenik, a certified life coach who helps women stop over-drinking and start living.I over-drank for twenty years while raising three kids, building a career, and keeping a good marriage and a nice home — functional on the outside, struggling on the inside. Life coaching changed everything for me, and I've been alcohol-free for eight years. Now I do this work with women all over the world.My approach is compassionate and completely shame-free. We get to the root of why you're drinking in the first place, and we work on boundaries, emotions, mind management, and learning to put yourself at the top of your own priority list. A big part of what I teach is learning to feel and process your emotions instead of reacting to them — getting out of your head and into your body.

Could you actually retire abroad on one Social Security check?The average retired American worker receives about $2,081 a month from Social Security. In many U.S. cities, that may barely cover the basics. But take that same check abroad and suddenly the retirement math can look dramatically different.The catch? Cheap doesn't automatically mean retire-able.A city might have $300 rent, fabulous food and gorgeous weather, but if you can't qualify for legal residency, access quality healthcare or comfortably live there as an LGBTQ+ person, you haven't found a retirement destination. You've found a vacation.In this episode of Queer Money®, we rank five gay-friendly cities where an average Social Security benefit could potentially support a modest retirement, while also considering LGBTQ+ acceptance and whether there's a realistic path to legal residency.Our countdown takes us from Medellín, Colombia, to Coimbra, Portugal, Montevideo, Uruguay, Cuenca, Ecuador, and finally, Chiang Mai, Thailand.And some of the numbers may have you checking airfare before the episode is over.

In this episode, she walks through her own story, from house hunting in the suburbs of Boston to practicing telemedicine from Lisbon, and breaks down what Hippocratic Adventures actually offers for physicians at every stage of curiosity about living abroad. She covers the realistic timeline for making the move, the two most common paths physicians take (local clinical practice and remote telemedicine), what the non-clinical options look like from abroad, including pharma and medical education, and what the experience is actually like beyond the Instagram version. A free physician starter kit is available at nonclinicalphysicians.com/practicing-in-another-country/ along with country guides, a job board, and community resources.

Between 2018 and 2024, the turnover of Portuguese games companies went from around 5 million to nearly 100 million. In this episode, Kalie Moore sits down with Jefferson Valadares, Co-Founder and CEO of partNerd and President of the Portuguese Association of Game Development Companies, to unpack whether a country long known for exporting its best talent can become a home for original IP. Jefferson has seen the industry from nearly every seat, as Studio GM at EA, Executive Producer at BioWare, Head of Mobile at Bandai Namco, and a board member at Rovio before its sale to Sega. They explore what the AAA years taught him about when to spend and when to wing it, why big companies keep funding games they already know won't work, and what he learned running studio acquisitions at Fortis Games about why most deals quietly lose their value.The conversation also goes inside partNerd, the four-person studio he's building now, and why they're making an original co-op game exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2. Jefferson explains the thinking behind designing for asymmetric skill levels so parents, kids, and non-gamers can play together, why GameShare shaped their commercial model, and how hard it is for veteran developers to unlearn best practice and build something genuinely new. He also revisits Doppio, his early bet on voice as a gaming platform, and the timing that led to selling to Fortis in late 2021. Along the way he lays out the Helsinki parallel he sees playing out in Lisbon, why the hardest gap for emerging ecosystems is product rather than engineering or art, and what he thinks the industry is underestimating about the generation that grew up on Roblox and Minecraft rather than GTA.This episode is brought to you by Appcharge, the payments platform built specifically for mobile gaming that processes over a billion dollars annually.

In the last few episodes we have tracked the miraculous discovery of gold on the Witwatersrand — the importance of which cannot really be overstated. While diamonds placed South Africa on the map, gold was going to convert the struggling region into a financial paradise for British financiers — and therein lies the imperial rub. However, it's time to step back a tad to provide an historical overview for the late 1880s and it's also time to zoom out of southern Africa to take a good hard look at global events. For centuries before European powers drew border lines across maps of the continent, the western Indian Ocean functioned as a single economic basin. Fleets of dhow's linked Gujarat, the Persian Gulf, the South Arabian coast, and the Swahili littoral, their journey's dictated by the predictable rhythm of the monsoon winds which blow southwest toward Africa from November to March and reverse northeast toward Arabia and India from April to September, This was a commercial matrix of city-states fueled by the exchange of African ivory, timber, gold, and slaves for Indian textiles, Chinese porcelain, and Middle Eastern metalwork. The Sultanate of Zanzibar was born directly out of this maritime deep history. In 1840, Sultan Seyyid Said of Oman moved his royal court from Muscat to Stone Town on the island of Zanzibar. By anchoring his authority off the East African coast, he consolidated control over the lucrative trade routes stretching deep into the African interior to the Great Lakes. The island served as a massive commercial emporium and agricultural power, built heavily on clove plantations operated by slaves while Indian merchant financiers—the banyans—backed the long-distance caravans into the mainland. Sultan Barghash bin Said was a proud son of the legendary Seyyid Said, inheriting the throne of Stone Town in 1870 while his brother Majid was bequethed Oman itself. Sharper and more ambitious than Majid, Barghash spent his eighteen-year reign modernizing Zanzibar—building piped water systems, telegraph links, and grand stone palaces. But his survival relied on a faustian bargain. Guided by Sir John Kirk—the British Consul-General who became his shadow advisor—Barghash aligned his dynasty entirely with London. Kirk was the single most influential British official in East Africa during the late 19th century. A Scottish physician, naturalist, and explorer, he first gained prominence as David Livingstone's trusted second-in-command on the Zambezi Expedition between 1858 and 1864. In 1866, he was appointed to the British Agency in Zanzibar, eventually rising to become Consul-General and Political Agent. When German agent Carl Peters began seizing territory on the mainland, London chose European alliance-building with Berlin over its promises to Zanzibar. In 1873, under direct British gunboat pressure, Barghash signed the treaty that outlawed the maritime slave trade and shut down Stone Town's notorious public slave market. It was an act of political self-mutilation; it deeply alienated his own Omani elite and rich plantation owners, but Barghash traded his domestic standing for what he believed was an ironclad guarantee of British protection over his mainland empire. Unfortunately, that gamble proved fatal. The Foreign Office in London watched the global map with growing anxiety as rival flags sprouted across the continent. What infuriated British diplomats most was a sudden, unnatural alliance between their two greatest rivals: France and Germany. Furious over Britain's unilateral grab of Egypt in 1882, the French teamed up with Otto von Bismarck to check British ambition. London had tried a sly maneuver in West Africa—signing a treaty with a weak Portugal to recognize Portuguese control over the mouth of the Congo, effectively using Lisbon as a buffer to keep other powers out. But Bismarck saw right through it.

Le premier long-métrage de Sofia Coppola sʹintitule The Virgin Suicides, (Virgin Suicides en français), un film dramatique américain sorti en 1999. Adapté du roman du même nom de Jeffrey Eugenides, le film raconte l'histoire des cinq sœurs Lisbon dans le cadre d'une banlieue bourgeoise huppée tout près de Détroit dans le Michigan durant les années 70. Lʹhistoire des filles Lisbon cʹest celle dʹune famille étrange. Un père prof de mathématiques, une mère bigote, et cinq sœurs qui vont commettre lʹirréparable : le suicide. Mais ce sont surtout les garçons qui les observent qui sont au cœur du récit. Des jeunes gens amoureux fascinés des sœurs Lisbon qui vont perdre, en même temps quʹelle, leur enfance et basculer dans lʹâge adulte. Virgin Suicides cʹest la métaphore de lʹinnocence perdue, cʹest A lʹombre des jeunes filles en fleur qui devient filles de sang. Cʹest la poursuite de spectres blonds, vaporeux, aussi évanescents que le temps qui passe. Sofia Coppola, photographe et styliste, ne se destinait forcément pas à la réalisation. En lisant le livre, elle se sent portée, écrit un scénario sans avoir les droits du roman. Puis tout sʹenchaine. A sa sortie, le film marque les esprits. La critique est enthousiaste. On attendait une bluette de la part de la fille à papa. Mais voilà que Sofia parvient à se faire un prénom face à Francis Coppola. Ses actrices et acteurs sonnent juste, le propos comme lʹémancipation, les obsessions, lʹamour absolu adolescent, le corps de la femme et principalement de la jeune femme, la musique de Air, contribuent à en faire une œuvre qui marque le cinéma américain à lʹaube des années 2000. Place à un film qui fait goûter au poison de lʹadolescence sans beaucoup de concessions.

Who's good at being patient? I know I didn't used to be! I wanted things FAST. I wanted to get results in weight loss as fast as possible, to get over my drinking ASAP, for my husband to change quickly or my co-workers to function faster.Our culture is built on getting things done the fastest and most effecient way possible.So, it's our conditioning and programming that has told us to not have tolerance for discomfort and things taking longer.Good news, it's ok, you are not alone and there is nothing wrong with you.The idea of patience usually is prefaced by a LACK of patience. We mostly recognize when we are NOT patient.. when we are feeling frustrated or irritated or angry.So to be more PATIENT, we actually need to learn how to be with the difficult feelings.When we are faced with an issue that isn't going as we hoped it would be we traditionally thing 'we need to be more patient.'NO - the first step is ALLOWING the feeling that IS present.That is patience, allowing the discomfort in the thing that isn't working out the way you thought it would.Tune into this episode and hear a new way to think about patience and benefits of being patient.. there are many!The Stop Over-Drinking and Start Living podcast is for high-achieving women who are tired of the cycle. Drinking more than you meant to. Waking up at 3am. Promising yourself tomorrow will be different. This isn't about white-knuckling your way through Dry January. We get underneath it. Why you're drinking in the first place, what you're actually feeling at 5pm, and how to build a life you don't need to escape from.Every week I'm talking about boundaries, emotions, mind management, and putting yourself at the top of your own priority list, which is the part most women skip.

Throughout the Western history of conservation, protecting nature has often meant removing people. It's what happened during the creation of many of America's national parks. But what if protecting nature didn't have to mean displacing the people who call it home? That's the question that brings us to Culatra, a small fishing island off Portugal's southern coast, and one of the country's seven natural wonders. For decades, the Portuguese government saw only one way to save the fragile lagoon surrounding Culatra: kick out the residents. This episode follows one woman's decades-long fight for her island — and the unlikely alliance she built along the way with the very scientists once sent to evict her.CREDITSThis episode was reported and produced by Geert Vlieger.

Retiring as a Single Lesbian in Setúbal, Portugal: Finding Community Beyond LisbonGuest: Jules de Mello | Host: Mark GoldsteinWhen Jules de Mello retired after a 27-year career as a federal criminal investigator, she went looking for a sunny, walkable place near the water where she could build a full life on her own terms. Lisbon was the plan, until the rents priced her out. Then she discovered Setúbal, a working port city on the cusp of its own renaissance, and never looked back.In this conversation, Jules opens up about what it really takes to retire as a single lesbian abroad: finding her people, and often building community from scratch, navigating a country that is warmly accepting but culturally reserved, and weighing the honest trade-offs of starting over solo in a place where you do not yet speak the language. It is a warm, practical, and refreshingly candid look at one of Portugal's most underrated cities.Meet JulesJules spent 27 years as a federal criminal investigator across several U.S. agencies before retiring in 2022. With Azorean roots on her great-grandfather's side, Portugal had always called to her. She first scouted the country in 2018, arrived permanently in Setúbal in April 2023, and soon became a self-described "connector," co-founding the Setúbal Pride meetup to bring locals, women, trans, and non-binary folks together in a community that had mostly orbited Lisbon before.In this episode00:00 Introduction: from federal investigator to Setúbal04:02 The 2018 trip that planted the seed06:48 Priced out of Lisbon09:31 Renting vs. buying in Portugal13:41 What Setúbal is really like17:46 Climate and the seasons24:00 Building queer community and founding Setúbal Pride29:31 LGBTQ+ acceptance and local culture33:53 Cost of living: rent and housing44:55 Utilities, internet, and getting around48:30 Food, markets, and the daily lunch special55:16 Walkability and transportation1:06:06 Healthcare: public, private, and Medicare1:25:39 Dining, wine, and café culture1:31:14 Visas and residency1:39:18 Honest trade-offs and final adviceWhat you'll learnWhy Setúbal, and not Lisbon? A medium-sized port city of roughly 140,000 people, Setúbal sits on an estuary with the Arrábida Nature Reserve rising behind it. Jules compares the feel to standing at the water's edge in Seattle, looking back at the hills. Downtown is flat and walkable, the covered market is considered one of the best in Portugal, and you are a short drive or train ride from Lisbon without paying Lisbon prices.What acceptance actually looks like. Portugal is legally progressive, with marriage equality and legal abortion that both predate the United States, but the culture is reserved and private. As Jules puts it, you can show up exactly as you are and be accepted, without anyone needing to label it or make a fuss. Older generations who lived under the dictatorship tend to be more guarded, while younger people simply do not think twice.The reality of building community. Finding the LGBTQ+ community as a single woman took real effort. Jules and a friend started the Setúbal Pride meetup in early 2024, hosting tea dances, potlucks, film nights, and gatherings designed to be diverse and welcoming. Her honest take: lesbians and gay men often socialize differently, and the language and cultural barriers add another layer, so she had to become the initiator rather than wait for community to find her.Walkability with caveats. Downtown is flat, and you can reach the butcher, the market, the pharmacy, and your doctor on foot, supported by a strong local bus system. But the cobblestone calçadas are uneven and tough on anyone with mobility challenges, so comfortable, flat walking shoes are not optional.Healthcare, honestly explained. Once you live in Portugal, you are covered under the public system, and many residents also carry private insurance. The two systems run in parallel and do not really talk to each other. Trauma and emergencies are routed through the public hospital, while private insurance speeds up elective procedures that would otherwise mean long public waitlists. Almost every physician speaks English, though front-desk staff and nurses often do not, so a translation app becomes part of every appointment.A practical snapshotThese are the figures Jules shared from her own experience around the time of recording. Treat them as a starting point, not a quote: costs shift with the market, and euro amounts convert to dollars at the current exchange rate.Rent (1 to 2 bedrooms): roughly 700 to 1,200 euros per month, rising toward 1,900 for newer units with modern amenities like a garage and air conditioning. Many traditional apartments come without appliances or a dryer (clothes dry on the line).Internet, phone, and TV bundle: around 50 euros per month for high-speed fiber.Electricity: can climb to about 200 euros in the hottest summer month if you run air conditioning heavily. Electricity and gasoline are both expensive; gas runs roughly 2 euros per liter, which Jules estimates at nearly 10 dollars per gallon.The daily lunch special (prato do dia): about 12 to 13 euros for several courses, often including bread, olives, a main, dessert, coffee, and wine.Private health insurance: roughly 100 euros per month under age 60, climbing to around 200 in your sixties. Only one private insurer in Portugal will enroll people over 70, though existing policyholders are generally kept on.Visas and residencyJules came on the D7 visa, sometimes called the retiree or passive-income visa. Her path: initial approval valid for 2 years, followed by a 3-year renewal, with the option to apply for permanent residency after 5 years of legal residence. She applied through the VFS vendor that handles Portuguese consular appointments in the U.S., interviewed in Washington, D.C., and saw approval in about 60 days, though timelines vary widely by consulate and can stretch to many months if documents expire mid-process.Important accuracy note on citizenship. Jules mentions that the path to Portuguese citizenship was extended from 5 to 10 years. We confirmed this: Portugal's Parliament approved a revised Nationality Law on April 1, 2026, and the President signed it on May 3, 2026, raising the residency requirement for naturalization to ten years for most non-EU nationals and seven years for EU and Portuguese-speaking (CPLP) nationals, with the residency clock now counting from the issuance of your first residence permit. Some details, including the exact effective date upon official publication and how the change applies to people already in the pipeline, were still being settled at the time of recording, and a constitutional challenge had been filed. This is a fast-moving and consequential area, so if citizenship is part of your plan, please confirm the current rules with a qualified Portuguese immigration attorney before making decisions. Permanent residency after five years is a separate process from citizenship.Jules on the honest trade-offThe hardest thing she gave up was the ease of finding community. Back home, queer life came with built-in hiking groups, dinner clubs, and shows to attend together. In Setúbal, she had to build that herself, and she has, becoming the bridge-builder her Portuguese choir mates now thank for getting everyone out the door. Her advice for anyone considering the move: visit beyond the vacation version, stay in a real neighborhood, do your own grocery run, and feel what daily life is honestly like before you commit. And, in the spirit of a friend who lives by it, say yes to every invitation.Listen and connectListen to the full conversation wherever you get your podcasts, and explore more LGBTQ+ retirement destinations at wheredogaysretire.com.Have a question about retiring abroad or a destination you'd like us to cover?

How and why do art and Summer join forces? Art, and visual arts especially, show imminent change–but so does Summer and its ideal of creative flow. How did–or did not–art speak of the climate emergency, gender policing, the war–in short, of loss? What role does this hot and luscious season play in the hubris of conquest, or the black hole of grief? Art curator and writer Joana P. R. Neves, our host, reminisces about Agnes Martin and John Cheever, and their opposing ideas of Summer and of creation, touching on two paintings by David Hockney and a poignant text by Luigi Pirandello. Joana loved a text sent to her by its author, Vittorio Zappa, on Substack, that guided the last part of the episode, leading to its denouement. Is Summer the season of creative flow of life and art making, full of light and sensorial stimuli? Is creativity about desire or meditative art? Or are all these myths, perpetuated by capitalist simplifications? Has art contributed to create them? Or has it always been alerting us to the cruelty of change via Art Wonderment, the art of paradox?Did you enjoy the episode? Think about supporting Exhibitionistas by leaving a small donation: https://buymeacoffee.com/exhibitionistaThe painting A Bigger Splash, 1967, by David Hockney, is the epitome of hubristic summer. But it hides another painting, Portrait of an Artist (Pool with two figures), 1972, with a far more poignant story: they both tell the extremes of summer, and investigate the very special artifice telling a story of desire, change, loss and healing? Sign up for a tiered monthly support: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2624749/monetization/supporter_settings Your contribution keeps us going.Joana P.

Cristiano Ronaldo Biography Flash a weekly Biography. Cristiano Ronaldo has spent the past few days in a swirl of football, business, and relationship headlines, with the most biographically important development being his return to the Al Nassr orbit after Portugal's World Cup exit and his first public reunion with the club's new coach Ange Postecoglou. ESPN reports he cut his holiday short to watch Al Nassr play Almeria in Lisbon, greeting teammates and Postecoglou from the stands, while Gulf News says he had not yet resumed full training, which matters because it signals the start of another defining season at 41 and a fresh chapter under new management. According to Fox Sports and Euronews, another long term story is his expanding off pitch empire, including reporting that he is producing and starring in a scripted soccer drama series called Day 1s and that he has become involved in new investment and ownership moves, including a stake in Almeria and a role tied to LiveMode and streaming related business activity. Euronews also says he has been described as one of the first football billionaires, a milestone that reinforces his stature beyond sport. On the social media front, the loudest verified chatter came from Ronaldo himself. Multiple outlets and social posts reported that he posted or referenced my toys, showing off part of his car collection, which kept his luxury brand image in the headlines. Times of India and other reports also say he replied with the word Fácil to a viral post calling him history's most famous athlete, a small but very Ronaldo style flex that spread fast online. In family and personal life, speculation around a wedding with Georgina Rodriguez intensified after reports in the New York Post, VnExpress, and other outlets, but several of those same reports noted the date and location rumors were unconfirmed and in some cases debunked. The Jewish Chronicle also reported Georgina deleted a Hebrew caption after backlash, which kept the couple under social media scrutiny. The recent football gossip is less about a dramatic transfer and more about legacy and longevity.

Cycling Cities is a series of books that investigates 150 years of cycling policy and practice across fifty cities in twenty-five countries, and keeps adding new cities to the list including, recently, Lisbon and Tehran. In this episode, I interview two authors, M. Luísa Sousa and Kazem Afradi, from the teams of researchers that wrote Cycling Cities: The Lisbon Experience and Cycling Cities: The Tehran Experience. These books uncover the histories of bicycles and their cyclists from Lisbon to Tehran, from the 19th century to the 21st century, and from royals to revolutionaries. As you'll hear, while there are of course many differences between Lisbon and Tehran, there are also many commonalities in their cycling histories. Jacob Ward is an historian at Maastricht University, the Netherlands. He has written on the history of science and technology, environmental history, business and financial history, and political history. He recently published Visions of a Digital Nation: Market and Monopoly in British Telecommunications (MIT Press, 2024) and he's currently working on a history of futurology in the United Kingdom and Europe from 1945 to the present day.

Bryan and Ogun coming to you from a pub in Lisbon, Portugal! We discuss whether vegetarianism is biblical, which writers of the Bible were depressed, whether people should be able to live in whatever country they want to, and whether aliens are real. We were together for an episode for the first time in seven years, and had a blast trying some local craft beers. Stay tuned for the bonus music clip of local Fado music recorded on our way home from the bar.

Four days on, and Slipknot still haven't said a word about Sid Wilson. Scott Penfold breaks down where the story actually stands: the single anonymous TMZ source it all rests on, Jim Root telling fans to stop and think — and the song he chose to play underneath it — Mick Thomson's wife Stacy openly mocking the rumour mill, Sid's only post being a merch ad, and the Los Angeles studio doorstep where he was asked point blank and said nothing. Plus Sharon Osbourne confirms a film of Back To The Beginning arrives this year featuring every band who played, and Ozzfest returns in 2027 at Villa Park in Birmingham — which quietly inverts what Ozzfest has been for thirty years. And Megadeth announce Breakout: Hibernation Of The Nations, a 24-date European arena farewell opening March 9, 2027 in Belfast and closing April 13 in Lisbon, with Black Label Society and Testament on the entire run. Off the back of the first number one album of their career — on the seventeenth and final record. Full write-ups on all three at LoadedRadio.com.

In 2019, Bill Mauro and Marcus Laurence sold their home in the beautiful woodlands of Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains and boarded a plane to Portugal with just six suitcases. They initially settled in Lisbon but soon realized they missed the slower pace of country life. That led them to purchase a home in the rural town of Salgueiro da Lomba, in Central Portugal. We first spoke with Bill and Marcus about their new life in Portugal in May 2022 on Episode 83 of Retire There. Seven years after making the move, they still love calling Portugal home. Along the way, they've helped countless others navigate the process of buying a home in Central Portugal. What began as a passion for helping fellow expats has since evolved into a new career as real estate agents. To learn more about purchasing a home in the region surrounding Salgueiro da Lomba, tune in to Episode 226 of Retire There with Gil & Gene. To contact Bill and Marcus about real estate Central Europe, email them at BillAndMarcus@KWPortugal.pt. They are part of the JPVA Real Estate Group. The couple created the Bears and Friends Retiring in Europe Facebook group and their Instagram page is @CasaDaLomba050. #retirethere #portugal #salgueirodalomba #casadalomba #coimbra #bearsandfriendsretiringineurope #centralportugal Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Send us Fan MailYou can chase every new AI tool on the timeline and still end up further from what your customers actually want. After going back to a 2019 interview with Canva Co-Founder & CEO Melanie Perkins, I'm struck by how little the core principles have aged and how much they explain the best AI products and the best marketing today.We talk about Canva's vision of helping people take an idea and turn it into a finished design with as close to zero friction as possible, then connect that directly to what generative AI is supposed to deliver: intention to outcome, not more dashboards. From there, we unpack one of Canva's most important values, "make complex things simple," and why it's becoming the dividing line between AI that feels magical and AI that feels like homework. If your customer needs a 20-minute explanation to understand your value, we explore why the problem may be your story, not their attention span.Then we go deeper into something most growth teams avoid saying out loud: incentives. When a platform succeeds, do its users succeed too, or do their goals start to diverge? We look at alignment, community, trust, and why this question is becoming unavoidable across social media, creator ecosystems, and AI platforms. We close with the quote that still sticks with me years later: "You can only grow as big as your dreams," but you also have to take the first small step, then the next.If you care about AI marketing strategy, product philosophy, and building brands that last, subscribe, share this episode with a friend, and leave a review. What's one principle you want to keep stable while everything else changes?This solo episode was recorded via  Descript on July 26, 2026. It also includes audio from my interview with Melanie Perkins, recorded on November 5, 2019, during Web Summit in Lisbon.Read the blog article and show notes here: https://webdrie.net/canva-co-founder-ceo-melanie-perkins-you-can-only-grow-as-big-as-your-dreams.......................................................................... 

Quick update episode before I head out to walk the Camino! A few episodes ago, I told you about coming off my medication and sleep aids, the brain zaps, and the nights I barely slept.Here's where things landed: I'm fully off everything, sleeping better than I have in months, and I'm sharing exactly what worked.I'm also telling you about the day I broke my own rule, paid for it until 12:30am, and what I did the next morning — because that part is the whole lesson. If you've ever blown a boundary with alcohol and used it as a reason to give up on the whole thing, this one's for you. In this episode, you'll learn: The full update on coming off sleep aids and medication, including the last little crutch I didn't even realize I was using The two simple changes that made the biggest difference in my sleep What happened the day I broke my own caffeine boundary (and why it felt exactly like drinking) How to get back to a boundary after you break it, without the shame spiral or the "I'll start Monday" trap Why your body knows how to get back to baseline when you stop interfering Quick reminder: this is my personal experience with medication. Always talk to your doctor before starting or stopping anything.Also, I recommend you listen to 'How to Stop Talking Yourself Out of It When It Gets Uncomfortable' before you listen to this one, to get the full context!

If you've ever thought "I've wasted so many years drinking," this episode is going to change how you see your entire story.It started with Madonna- a line about how the deepest darkness holds the greatest light. And it perfectly captures something psychologists have been studying for decades: post-traumatic growth.The research shows that women who go through hard seasons — including years of over-drinking, and actually process them, come out the other side with deeper relationships, more appreciation for life, and a strength they never had before.The growth comes from processing the pain, and just time alone won't do it.In this episode, I break down the five research-backed ways post-traumatic growth shows up and I share the tips for actually getting there. I promise your drinking years aren't wasted years. They're the material for the best years of your life.Now accepting applications for the next cohort of the Transformation Program, check that out here: https://www.angelamascenik.com/transformationprogram I've updated my website, check out my new about me page: www.angelamascenik.com/ ABOUT ANGELA:Angela Mascenik is a certified stop over-drinking coach for women and the host of the Stop Over-Drinking and Start Living podcast.
