This is a fun one! I share what the pink cloud feeling is when you quit drinking and how you can get it. The pink cloud is like 'having your head in the clouds' it feels like elation, joy, gratitude, aliveness and nothing can bring you down during this time.You are so grateful for how you feel, you compare and contrast before with drinking to now with not.It's a common expression in the recovery and alcohol-free lifestyle communities.So, during the episode I share my initial pink cloud experience in my first. year of living alcohol-free.And then, I share my 2nd pink could experience that is HAPPENING NOW!!!I didn't realize it was happening until a day ago.

Meet Zé Povinho: Portugal's Everyman, the Manguito, and the New “Zé Bot” (Ask Him Anything!)The host introduces Zé Povinho, Portugal's famous fictional everyman created by Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro in 1875, known for saying what everyone thinks but no one says, his anti-hero status, his signature manguito gesture, and the phrase “Queres fiado, toma!”, noting a new permanent exhibition marking 150 years of the character at the Bordalo Pinheiro Museum in Lisbon. He references a recent A-to-Z culture and comprehension quiz in the Speak Portuguese Now Today community and explains access options.

On Monday 14th September 2026, Carl Munson's Good Morning Portugal! news focuses on two big stories: the Sophia solar project being scaled down by 35% after environmental feedback, and Lightsource BP cancelling a Beiras solar plant. The other main theme is fuel prices, with an economist warning against cutting VAT on fuel amid a political dispute over the tax burden at the pump. Additional headlines include Chega accusing Livre over the parliamentary office break-in, a study showing independent ministers tend to stay in post longer than party officials, and the Socialist Party criticising the education minister. Clear skies and late-summer heat continue, with highs of 32°C in Lisbon and 36°C in Évora.#GoodMorningPortugal #PortugalNews #SofiaSolar #FuelTax #VAT #LightsourceBP #Chega #Livre #Portugal2026Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-good-morning-portugal-podcast-with-carl-munson--2903992/support.Get help moving to and living in Portugal

Have you ever looked back at your life path and realized that your most "calculated" choices were actually driven by an invisible hand?Sparked by Paolo Sorrentino's film Parthenope and its haunting theme song, I reflect on a decade of wandering, from an improbable visa in New Zealand, to a chaos-filled leap to London, to a sudden surrender on the cobblestone streets of Lisbon. We talk about why our rational brains construct neat narratives after the fact, how the Portuguese concept of Saudade offers a way out of the rat race, and why surrendering to your life's script might just be the ultimate form of freedom.Film: Parthenope (2024), directed by Paolo Sorrentino.Music: "Era già tutto previsto" by Riccardo Cocciante (1975).The Stanford Commencement Address (2005): Steve Jobs on connecting the dots looking backward rather than forward.Philosophy & Theology:Nietzsche: Amor Fati ("Love of Fate") — embracing every joy, tragedy, and setback as essential to your story.Buddhism: Hetu-Pratyaya (因缘和合) — the interdependence of causes and conditions coming to fruition.Taoism: Wu Wei (无为) — effortless action through alignment with the natural flow of the cosmos.The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus: Essential reading on finding joy and meaning within inescapable reality.The Book of Disquiet by Fernando Pessoa: Written by Portugal's master poet in Lisbon, exploring the depth of Saudade and existence.Enjoying the show?

For more than six years, Rita Ansone has been the photographer behind People Of Lisbon, photographing 220+ people for the series and hundreds more across the city.Now we finally turn the microphone - and camera - on her.In this long-form rough cut, Rita talks about growing up in Riga, leaving Latvia with a one-way ticket to England, living across Europe and eventually finding herself stuck in Lisbon when the pandemic arrived.We dig through her photographic archive, talk about her mother working in a photo lab, where her love of photography came from, her life in Lisbon, what catches her eye when she takes a photograph - and what six years of photographing the people of this city has meant to her.Uncut, unpolished and a little more intimate. This is the longer conversation behind our special People of Lisbon film about the woman who is normally on the other side of the lens.Rita Ansone - Lisbon's most iconic photographer you've never heard of.

We're giving Roscoff, France a microphone on a summer afternoon. Enjoy French traffic, French talking! French birds! Whether you're studying, working, reading, sleeping, or unwinding after a long day, this immersive ambient soundscape provides the perfect background soundtrack. No commercials, no interruptions—just Rue Amiral Réveillère. Ignore the World.___________You will hear local birds, traffic, voices, and other sounds from Mid-Afternoon Rue Amiral Réveillère (the primary central street in the old port district of Roscoff, France). Thanks to my twin for recording during a recent research trip to the Brittany region of France. She stayed at an inn a short walk from Roscoff's port and, while out, left a microphone in the window.Because my twin was a short walk from the Vieux Port de Roscoff, which serves Île de Batz, you will hear extra activity affected by ferry schedules. As an aside—to grab the ferry you have to take a long footbridge that leads directly into the Atlantic, no platform, just a ramp that deposits you directly into the ocean.What to do for Episode description this week? Like I could try to retell the entire Roscoff history or write something silly. And so I looked at a map—my eyes immediately darted east to Jersey (the British Crown Dependency Island off the coast of NW France). I salivated over the easy writing assignment of taking shots at something with "Jersey" in its title. Because of course Jersey, we talked about Jersey in the White Castle episode (NEW Jersey). North Atlantic (USA) mockery of New Jersey is low-hanging fruit and I enjoy an easy time tapping out a banal missive. So I searched online like: "hey, did anything strange happen on that island called Jersey?"—OMGWTFNVM—Let's talk Roscoff—There's a famous French onion, Oignon de Roscoff—an onion that purportedly arrived to the region by way of a traveling Capuchin monk named Brother Cyril. He was returning from Lisbon and probably had the seed in his pocket—I'm positive monks had pockets in 1647.Ok, I looked it up, there is evidence of a handmade fanny pack 6000 years ago—being worn by some prehistoric guy named “The Iceman.” (To be a known person of history that lived over half a decamillennium ago and still get the moniker “The Iceman...” So cool. You know some men and women live forever in infamy—this pre-Austrian gentleman had a fanny pack and is known as “The Iceman.”)Pouches started being woven into clothing more recently (within a few centuries) because fanny packs were noticeable targets for thieves. I'm imagining Peaky Blinders versus the ****** Iceman. The Iceman had a bone awl in his fanny pack—think of an icepick carved from animal bone. “You want my dried tinder fungus you weird (but stylish) hat mother*******?! Talk to bone awl!!!” Ba-BLOWAnd voilà, Brother Cyril could have had a pocket with an onion seed ultimately leading to the culinarily significant Oignon de Roscoff.  (Maybe he had a suitcase... When were suitcases invented?)And that is where I will stop trying to parse agricultural history—I am unequipped for onion significances. I did find a blog of a lady who shouts “bonjour” at Roscoff residents to get candid photos (and has an Oignon de Roscoff recipe that looks delicious) — she speaks highly of Roscoff onions. My best onion take is that red onions are vastly overrated. Like you're not getting points with me because you're usually in every hoagie I love and you're the sexiest element in an Olive Garden salad.

Portugal has been on the docket for a while, and it finally gets the right guest: Nicole Muscari, the wine educator and content creator behind Grape Chic, who has made the trip 22 times since 2019 and now owns a place in Porto. We're digging into the friendly Porto-vs-Lisbon rivalry — Porto's grit and cobblestones read like New York, Lisbon's sprawl and beaches read more L.A. — then heads into the Douro Valley to make the case for its dry reds and mineral whites, not just port. There's also a detour to Colares, a DOC so small its vines still grow ungrafted in sand. Pastel de nata debates, football pride, and a real argument for booking that direct flight all make an appearance. This Week's Wine: 2022 Altitude by Duorum Douro Mentions and Links Wines & Producers Altitude by Duorum — the episode's featured Douro red, a blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Cão. Alvarinho (Vinho Verde) — worth seeking out in its age-worthy, lees- or barrel-aged styles, not just the light spritzy version. Arinto — coastal, salty white from the Lisbon region, sometimes given Chardonnay-style oak and lees aging. Colares DOC (Malvasia whites, Ramisco reds) — a roughly 22-hectare appellation near Cascais growing pre-phylloxera vines in sand. Restaurants & Bars — Porto de Lima's Wine Bar — opened by Rafael de Lima in the historic center. Blind Pony — speakeasy right next door. Fauno — small tasting-menu spot with wine pairings. Cozinha das Flores — strong wine list with rare back-vintage Portuguese bottles. Prova — wine bar with deep, well-curated allocations. Casa Guedes — go-to for the roast pork and Serra da Estrela cheese sandwich. Arco das Verdades — cliffside wine bar with natural/biodynamic small-producer bottles and river views. Pedro Lemos — Michelin-starred restaurant with a standout cellar. Taylor's — Port house recommended for its educational tour. Casa de Chá da Boa Nova — two-Michelin-star restaurant on the water. Fábrica da Nata — favorite pastel de nata. Taberninha do Manel (sister restaurant Adega do Manel) — riverside Gaia spot for amêijoas à Bulhão Pato and francesinha. Gazela — the cachorrinhos (Porto-style hot dogs) spot Anthony Bourdain once featured. Bomfim 1896 — Michelin-recommended. Libatio — Nicole's pick for the city's best wine bar. Douro Valley The Vintage House — hotel in Pinhão, a good base for exploring the valley. Vinho Verde Town of Amarante — medieval town with an old bridge, worth the detour. Monverde Wine Resort — modern wine hotel with floor-to-ceiling views over the vines. Lisbon Black Sheep — favorite wine bar Pastéis de Belém — the original pastel de nata bakery. Bar Alimentar Imprensa Cocktail Bar Prado Wine Bar Bifanas do Afonso — for the classic Lisbon bifana sandwich. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode, host Susannah Lyon-Whaley talks to Ben James about his exciting new book on the female convents of Lisbon, including the royal women who lived in these monastic institutions. Ben James is a historian of early modern Portugal and completed his doctoral research at King's College, London. His thesis was entitled The Female Convents of Lisbon 1640-1750: Economies, Material Culture and Sociability. Most recently, he has worked as a research assistant for the National Palace of Sintra. His first monograph The Female Convents of Lisbon 1640 to 1750 was published by Routledge in June 2026.For more on royals and nuns, see Magdalena S. Sánchez, The Empress, the Queen, and the Nun: Women and Power at the Court of Philip III of Spain (John Hopkins University Press, 1998). 

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gives a first look at the stories you need to know to start your day, including NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch calling for "moral clarity" about the distinction between the terrorists who carried out the September 11 attacks and the first responders who risked their lives, as a memorial wall adds 469 officers who died from 9/11-related illnesses; Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon resigning while warning that the race toward self-improving superintelligence could threaten humanity, with Anthropic team lead Evan Hubinger publicly estimating a greater than 10 percent chance that AI could kill all humans within the next decade; and several performers withdrawing from a Lisbon festival after Jerry Seinfeld was announced as a headliner amid objections to his support for Israel; and much more. #rubinreport #september11 #NYPD #ai #anthropic #jerryseinfeld #comedy #daverubin

There is still a lot unknown about why period pain can be so intense for some and not others. To find out more, Claudia Hammond speaks with Dr Melissa Lenert, research scientist at the University of Michigan in the Chronic Pain and Fatigue Research Centre. Her new research examines what early risk factors are associated with the intensity and onset of period pain in adolescents. Claudia is then joined by Rebecca Katz, Professor and Director of the Center for Global Health Science and Security at Georgetown University Medical Center, who has just returned from the 9th World One Health Congress in Lisbon, Portugal. We hear about the public health threats she has been monitoring, including a measles outbreak in Sweden linked to a music festival.

Today, this monthly discussion reviews Bank of Portugal figures suggesting foreign real-estate investment fell from about 1.9 to 1.7 billion, questioning whether Portugal's market is cooling or maturing. Paul argues the data depends on what is counted, but says the headline “decline” is really a refinement as Lisbon, Porto and the Algarve have become unaffordable and yields in central Lisbon are thin (roughly 3.5–5%), pushing “floating capital” to seek better returns inland and outside expensive areas. They note reports of sharp rent and price increases in Portugal, contrast them with London declines, and describe greater caution about overpaying and 2008-style downside risk. Paul highlights an inland development investment in Pedrogão Grande and an opt-in quarterly investment newsletter via rural-properties.com, then explains asking prices may be unrealistic, inheritance sales can inflate prices, and buyers can still find value by understanding seller motivations and negotiating beyond price.00:00 Bank Report Question00:52 What Counts as Property01:43 Returns and Overpricing03:04 Looking Inland for Value04:40 Maturation Not Cooling06:46 Bigger Projects and Funding08:03 Investment Newsletter Signup09:31 Asking Prices vs Reality11:31 Finding Value and Negotiating14:08 Next Topic TeaserBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-good-morning-portugal-podcast-with-carl-munson--2903992/support.Get help moving to and living in Portugal

On Monday 7th September 2026, Carl Munson's Good Morning Portugal! news leads with the Socialist Party accusing the government of profiteering from fuel taxes, claiming more than €1 billion in extra revenue since April 2024. Other headlines include a study highlighting regional disparities among two million students and higher dropout rates in Lisbon, Setúbal and the Algarve, artists withdrawing from a Lisbon comedy festival over Jerry Seinfeld's support for Israel, the PCP marking the 50th anniversary of its Avante festival, and a quarry in Tavira ordered to close immediately. Heat warnings remain in place, with Évora forecast to reach 37°C.

Carl recounts seeing a completely naked man in Lisbon's Jardim Zoológico (Sete Rios) Metro station in mid-afternoon while with his three children, rebuking him to dress and suspecting a mental health episode.He uses the incident to explore how public standards, safety, and cultural norms around dress and behavior operate in Portugal, alongside a recent sighting of a topless woman on a beach and discussion of Portugal's face-covering (burqa/balaclava) ban.He reflects on whether noting someone's perceived nationality matters, compares reporting of foreign misbehaviour (including incidents in Albufeira), and argues foreigners should help uphold and safeguard Portuguese culture while supporting compassionate responses and better resourcing for mental health and policing.00:00 Naked Metro Encounter00:17 What Happened at Jardim Zoológico02:10 Confronting the Man03:19 Race and Reporting Dilemma06:42 Topless Beach Culture Shock11:15 Covering Up Off the Beach12:25 Mental Health or Social Decline15:29 Foreigners Respecting Portugal18:40 Law Enforcement and Boundaries20:55 Open Discussion and Wrap UpBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-good-morning-portugal-podcast-with-carl-munson--2903992/support.Get help moving to and living in Portugal

He had the conservatory training, the orchestral chops, and the “proper” classical path laid out ahead of him, but Sebastian Plano couldn't ignore the stronger call: make his own music. We sit down with the Grammy-nominated cellist and composer to trace the real turning points, from leaving Lisbon on a one-way ticket to Boston, to realizing that interpretation alone was not enough, to building a creative life where the cello becomes both voice and laboratory. We dig into the craft behind his signature approach: studying scores, sneaking into composition spaces, then recording his early work by layering parts until he could “make the orchestra” himself. Sebastian also tells the unvarnished post-school story, including what happens when you order 1,000 CDs and suddenly need an audience. His answer was simple and brave: play. He busks in the San Francisco subway, takes gigs anywhere, and learns how direct connection, repetition, and community can become both income and momentum for an independent artist. Then we shift to Solo, his newest solo cello album with no electronics, no multitracking, and nowhere to hide.

Episode 188 focuses on creative ways to maximize 100,000 Capital One miles, along with several noteworthy points-and-miles updates. The episode's highlight was member Courtney's impressive ChatGPT-built, mobile-friendly travel dashboard that tracks more than 1.5 million points and miles, credit cards, annual fees, statement credits, free-night certificates, elite statuses, 5/24 status, redemptions, upcoming applications, trips, and important deadlines. In the news, Citi launched a 125,000-mile welcome offer on the refreshed AAdvantage Executive card, while United and American announced a slate of new European routes for next summer, including destinations such as Lisbon, Porto, Reykjavik, Vienna, Valencia, Sardinia, Sicily, and the Azores. American Express also rolled out elevated Delta SkyMiles card offers, with bonuses reaching 200,000 miles, and IHG introduced a targeted discount on the cash portion of Points & Cash bookings.The main discussion explores how two people can stretch 100K Capital One miles plus roughly $1,000 in cash into trips of at least two or three nights. Angie highlights options such as Lisbon, where 48K miles can cover round-trip flights for two, while Wyndham or Capital One Travel can cover the hotel; Medellin, where 80K miles covers flights and an inexpensive hotel can be partially erased with the remaining miles; and San Juan, where 66K miles handles the flights and the remaining miles help offset a Marriott hotel booked through the Capital One portal. Cameron offers additional examples, including a Miami Beach getaway for about 95K miles, a three-night Hawaii trip for 100K miles plus $230, and a Cancun all-inclusive that can be done for around 105K miles and $400. The episode also emphasizes Capital One's ability to erase travel purchases at a fixed rate, which can be especially useful for expenses like trains and tours, although transferring to airline and hotel partners can often provide greater value.The episode wraps up with the hosts' personal bonus and trip updates, including Cameron's upcoming Morocco trip, Southwest meetup flights, and strategies for maximizing Bilt benefits, while Angie prepares for a major Europe trip and looks ahead to Australia. The Tip of the Week is a useful airline-booking tidbit: Air Canada and Singapore Airlines use the same PNR, which can be helpful when managing reservations across the two programs.Episode Links:Chat Points command center post of the weekUnited New summer routesAmerican New summer routesIHG Point + Cash discountAmerican Executive Card offerElevated Delta Card offersWhere to Find UsThe Award Travel 101 Facebook Community.To book time with our team, check out Award Travel 1-on-1.You can also email us at 101@award.travelBuy your Award Travel 101 Merch hereReserve tickets to our Late Summer 2026 Meetup in Milwaukee now. award.travel/mke2026Our partner CardPointers helps us get the most from our cards.

Nicole Kranz: When Love Makes You Lose Yourself In this episode of Make Mental Health Matter Show, host Kelli Melissa Reinhardt has special guest Nicole Kranz. A little bit about Nicole's story from her: I lived many lives - across countries, cultures, heartbreaks, illness, and profound transformation. I'm also the author of This Is Bullsht, Not a Love Story*, a book born from my own experience of emotional abuse and my journey back to myself. I want to bring honesty, vulnerability, and hope to the audience, to remind people that even after losing yourself completely, you can reclaim your voice, your freedom, and your life. I'm not here as an expert with all the answers; I'm here as a woman who survived, healed, and chose to turn her pain into gratitude. Short Bio: Born Brazilian and raised in Geneva in a multicultural family, Nicole Kranz has always felt more stateless than tied to any single nationality. She has lived in Rio, New York, Paris, and Lisbon, among other places, and remains an endless traveler. A former coach, a self-taught writer, and the author of three books, she draws from a life shaped by movement, curiosity, and a deep fascination with human nature. Nicole is direct, instinctive, and unapologetically honest, someone who would rather ask difficult questions than offer easy answers. Her philosophy is simple: stay curious, embrace imperfection, and listen to life - it says it all.

Techno is a layered phenomenon. On the surface level is the talk, fleeting and temporary. Beneath it lies an intricate web woven by all manner of creatives and intellectuals. At the center of it all is the sound itself, and it is in this realm of sonic abstraction that you find Max Gardner.      The San Francisco DJ and producer did not initially pursue electronic music with ambitions to promote himself as a brand. Doors opened nonetheless, and they never stopped. He is now one of the artists most closely associated with Bay Area techno, releasing on labels like Sonic Groove, Blank Code, and Northern Parallels.       A pivotal turning point saw Max launch a label called Peer. He set forth to create a techno platform free of superstar ego, prioritizing musical merit over celebrity. Since its launch, Peer has become a respected outlet for forward-thinking underground techno from both established artists and emerging voices.     Max's often psychedelic, sometimes suspenseful, always hypnotic range of the techno spectrum has brought him to audiences across the US and Europe, with performances in New York, Detroit, Los Angeles, Berlin, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Madrid, Lisbon, Medellín, and more. At home, he has held residencies at essential San Francisco venues including F8, 1015 Folsom, Monarch, and the legendary 222 Hyde.     As founder of the influential Direct to Earth collective and a resident throughout its 15+ year history, Max helped establish the foundation for San Francisco's modern techno community long before the genre reached its current prominence in the Bay Area. What began as a niche scene has since grown into a thriving network of artists, promoters, venues, and audiences.     Max Gardner lives for the ephemeral moments in which time stands still, where words fail, as pure and honest audio shakes every reveler to their core. To see him behind the decks is to understand that he belongs here. He knows this world intimately. His place in it is permanent.

In today's episode, Anietie Tia Ukpe-Wallace, a pelvic health physical therapist and author of Tending to Your Womb, shares how relocating from Northern California to Lisbon, Portugal will shape her continued work virtually and internationally. She recounts chronic infections and pelvic pain that led her to pelvic health, then details her first pregnancy in 2011 complicated by fibroids and ending in a 20-week loss, followed by a second loss six months later. She explains how grief can manifest physically through posture, breathing, reduced movement, nervous system effects, and pelvic floor tension, and defines pelvic floor therapy's functions and common symptoms. Wallace describes how pelvic therapy after loss may begin with external work (breath, abdominal touch/massage, education) before any internal exam, emphasizes finding therapists comfortable with loss, and discusses surgery, therapy, and practices that supported her later pregnancy and ongoing anxiety. She highlights body literacy as a core takeaway from her book and shares where to buy it and how to connect with her and her retreats.   Key Takeaway: Body Literacy The core mission of her book, Tending to Your Womb, is to cultivate body literacy—empowering individuals to deeply understand, listen to, and advocate for their own reproductive and pelvic health. Connect & Learn More: Listeners can purchase Tending to Your Womb through major book retailers and connect with Anietie online to learn more about her virtual pelvic health consulting and upcoming international wellness retreats.

Matt recaps his 2:33 Sydney Marathon in jeans, then dives into recovery, weight loss, fueling, strength training, Melbourne Marathon goals and what comes next. Matt Fox / Sweat Elite Coaching: https://www.sweatelitecoaching.com/matt-fox/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattinglisfox/ Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/6248359 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SweatElite Sweat Elite: https://www.sweatelite.co/ Sweat Elite Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sweatelite/ Three days after the Sydney Marathon, Matt breaks down his 2:33:38 run in jeans and what he is currently calling the fastest known marathon in jeans. He talks through the pacing strategy, running with the 2:35 pacer through 30km, dealing with hamstring cramping late in the race, how much the jeans may have slowed him down and how Sydney compares with a flatter marathon course. Matt also goes deep into marathon recovery, including the roughly 310g of carbohydrates and 50g of protein he consumed in the first 90 minutes after finishing. He discusses sleep, returning to training after a marathon, strength and mobility work, cramping, chafing, shoe choices and why he believes his recovery has been significantly better than after many previous marathons. Weight loss remains a major topic as Matt explains how he has gone from around 86kg to roughly 73kg over the past four months while continuing to train at a high level. He discusses calorie deficits on easier days, carbohydrate cycling around workouts and long runs, strength training while losing weight, GLP-1 use, maintaining power while getting lighter and why he believes reaching approximately 69kg could put him back around PB shape for Melbourne. Matt finishes by answering listener questions on Sydney's hills, marathon course conversions, how long runners can continue improving with age, shoe durability, recovering between Sydney and Melbourne, preventing marathon cramps and future costume marathon attempts. He also shares his plan to move to Lisbon later this year and spend more time racing and training in Europe.

Join our WhatsApp group for weekly exclusive content: https://chat.whatsapp.com/FEgoaCOQoyU2VX49SwA8Aw?s=cl&p=a&ilr=4   This 2-part series discovers the dramatic life of Rabbi Yosef Karo, which was lived far beyond the pages of his famous legal code, the Shulchan Aruch.   Born into the upheaval of the 1492 Spanish Expulsion, he fled across borders from Lisbon to Cairo to Greece and eventually to Eretz Yisrael and was instructed by a spiritual maggid. But the 16th century of mass migrations threatened to fracture Jewish tradition into "countless Torahs". So he embarked on a monumental mission to write a master legal framework and unite the diaspora, which fundamentally reshaped our lives.   His story included an attempt to hasten the Messianic era, that led to him being banned from the main synagogue of Tzfas and a son born to him in his old age.

Ep. 225 features Amar Rao, Co-Founder of SportsStack, to discuss the challenges of sports data infrastructure and how SportsStack is building a unified data layer for the industry. Amar shares insights from his experience at NumberFire, FanDuel, and Fanatics, along with SportsStack's approach to data normalization, settlement, and scaling sports technology. Hear them discuss: Amar's journey from Amazon to NumberFire, FanDuel, and Fanatics, and how years of dealing with fragmented sports data led to the creation of SportsStack. How SportsStack's Unified API helps operators, fantasy platforms, prediction markets, media companies, teams, and leagues normalize data and switch providers without rebuilding their infrastructure. Why settlement and misgraded markets remain a costly challenge for sportsbooks and prediction markets, and how cross-validating multiple data sources can improve accuracy and reduce operational risk. SportsStack's early traction, including work with Underdog and Novig, its approach to fundraising, and why strategic capital matters more than raising money for the sake of it. Why industry conferences are critical for early-stage B2B startups, with Amar emphasizing the importance of consistently showing up, building awareness, and playing the long game. Amar's view of the evolving sports data ecosystem, including the rise of specialized providers, AI-driven data products, and new demands created by prediction markets. SportsStack's roadmap for the next year, with a focus on expanding provider coverage, improving data quality and speed, and becoming a leading settlement infrastructure solution. Amar's long-term vision for SportsStack as the default infrastructure layer connecting sports data providers with the products and experiences built on top of them.   The Startup Zone at SBC Summit in Lisbon is the best way for startups to establish their presence at "The Greatest Show in Gaming".

"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
