This week Kevin and PJ recount a tasting menu experience in Lisbon. While they fully respect the ethos of zero-waste restaurants, the lads admit that tackling fermented everything while severely hungover was not their finest moment and the very modest portion sizes did little to lift spirits.For the theme, they dive into the Brooklyn Beckham drama, sharing their thoughts, giving their two cents, and discussing how intimidating it must be to find yourself in a feud where your nemesis is, quite literally, a Spice Girl.Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here
Journey from Montreal to various raves on the African continent with San Farafina and Hervé from Montréal's post-border interdiscipinary collective Moonshine. We explore their journey from throwing full-moon house parties in 2014 to linking up with the African diaspora around the globe, along the way building a brand, creative hub, and party institution. We hear about what's going on in Kinshasa, Abidjan, Dar es Salaam, Lisbon and beyond and learn how not even electricity cuts, high tides, police and giant insects can keep them from a party. We also discuss their relationship to Vanyfox (our guest on episode #39), the evolution of batida, the changing landscape of DJing worldwide and our run-ins with Game of Thrones characters at the rave. Hosted by Vivian Host (aka DJ Star Eyes). For more info and extras, visit Ravetothegrave.org or Instagram @ravetothe.grave.
When two generations of Lisbon's underground collide, the result is visceral, raw, and uncompromising. Scam Dust is Tiago and Shcuro – two artists channelling decades of experience into something that sounds like Detroit techno filtered through Sheffield's industrial grit with a distinctly Lisbon sensibility. Tiago, Lux Frágil resident and ‘DJ's DJ', returns from a seven-year hiatus from music. Shcuro, Paraíso co-founder of the excellent and scene documenter, breaks free from solo frustration. Living in neighbouring beach towns outside the capital – Parede and Carcavelos – they've made Gastric Pulse: saturated acid, industrial-tinged techno, and sonic dirt of the highest order. This is music built for systems, big systems. Music designed to make you move and break shit. Pure punk in electronic form. The title's a joke about acid music taken literally (see also: “Enzyme Breaks,” “Pepsin Drive”), but the music isn't playing. Felt right to ask em for a mix right? This mix captures their first session together – Bileebob, Conrad Schnitzler via Marcel Dettmann, Plastikman, Jamal Moss. Techno at the margins where things get uncomfortable. Coffee grains and Pepper X. @shcuro @simatudo
In this episode of Stop Over-Drinking and Start Living, I sit down with former client, Megan, to talk about the year it finally clicked. She first worked with me in a 6-month group container, and later committed to a full year of private coaching — the year she became alcohol-free and stayed that way. What makes her story so powerful is that the year before, she had the same goal: to go an entire year without drinking. And she didn't make it. It wasn't until she tried again the following year that it all clicked. She shares 3 things that helped her not get overwhelmed by the big goal of going alcohol-free for so long. #1 will surprise you! And 3 things that she does in the moments she has thoughts about a drink. She also shares a story of how she coped with the stress of a long day of intense interviews.. and it's not what you would think! Megan really is an example of what is possible, with dedication, never giving up despite lots of 'failures,' and consistent support! This conversation is for women who are sober curious, want to drink less, or are exploring a healthier relationship with alcohol without shame, labels, or rigid rules. If you want this type of support I'm excited to open up 3 spots to work with me privately that include a retreat at The Magic House in Lisbon, Portugal.

The boys are in Lisbon and as gorgeous as the city is Kevin takes a moment to criticise all the hills and cobbled roads that resulted in him falling off a Lime scooter en route to a Crossfit class. PJ reminisces on his chaotic 18th birthday party where fake IDs and stray fists were in plentiful supply. Prompted by this episode coming out on Blue Monday the lads have a discussion about made up holidays and ask why January is such a depressing month and Kevin puts forward a bid for dry January to be changed to a dry November going forward because the month is already horrendous enough as it is. They also make plans for celebrating I'm Grand Mam day which is happening on the 16th of February when the podcast celebrates 7 years in production.

Historically Thinking: Conversations about historical knowledge and how we achieve it
On November 1, 1755, the city of Lisbon was devastated by a terrible earthquake, and a new era of urban planning began. The reconstruction of Lisbon was, more or less, the first time that modern planners had the opportunity to transform an urban landscape and bring it into line with their vision of what the future should look like. What shifting tectonic plates did to Lisbon would, in the future, be the job of bulldozers and wrecking balls. We take that for granted now, but we shouldn't. In his new book The Invention of the Future: A History of Cities in the Modern World, my guest Bruno Carvalho tells two histories that our intertwined. One is the story of how histories were planned, built, or rebuilt. But the other is an intellectual history of how cities of the future were imagined. It turns out that those two stories don't intersect as often as you might assume. Bruno Carvalho is a professor at Harvard University, where he teaches courses on cities. He is also the author of Porous City: A Cultural History of Rio de Janeiro.

We're looking back to November 2024 and our conversation with Sandra Tavares... ORIGINAL POST: Sandra Tavares knows the people, places and things that make up a wonderful culinary and wine journey throughout Portugal. Sandra started her career as a journalist and found herself covering a burgeoning food scene, to the point where she realized she would enjoy developing tours and experiences for people, and taking them to the best Portugal has to offer, rather than just writing about them. Eventually she met her husband Vitor, and as things happened, eventually they landed in a beautiful vineyard and winery owned by Portugal's benchmark Kopke wines, where Vitor developed a restaurant to serve the local bounty that complemented the wine. And his deep contacts in the industry in turn, became Sandra's as well. Sandra is uniquely positioned to be the foremost authority on food and wine in Portugal. To that end, she designed a wonderful itinerary that our podcast host Chris Angelus' Portland Food Adventures is offering in May of 2025, on which food and wine loving folks can travel with St. Jack chef Aaron Barnett to Porto, the beautiful Douro River Valley and Lisbon to take bites and sips of the varied histories and customs of the beautiful country. The trip features two hotels and inns from the folks at Kopke as well as dining with solid Michelin-star chefs throughout the region, as well as some pub food curated by expat Don Bourassa, former Portland Yelp Community Director. This podcast is a fun journey outside of our area, but with Portland connections to keep us grounded!

For my 300th episode, I'm flipping the script — Tom's back behind the mic to interview me about the last decade of building this business, from a closet in Australia to our apartment in Lisbon.This episode is a reflection on everything it's taken to get here: the business models I've pivoted through, the times I almost quit, how my definition of success has completely transformed, and why consistency is still the most underestimated strategy in online business.We go deep on what I've learned about foundations versus strategies, how Human Design and astrology made their way into my work (and why I was scared to share it for years), and what I want to build between now and episode 600.If you've ever questioned whether you're doing it wrong, wondered if what you're building is even worth it, or felt like you're taking too long to "figure it out" — this conversation is for you.In this episode, we explore:

These are the gay cities that deliver on what most LGBTQ+ retirees actually want: safety, healthcare access, affordability, and community—without the “big-city price tag.”✅ What you'll get in this episode5 unexpected gay cities that are great for retiring abroadRent + cost-of-living reality checks (with U.S. city comparisons)The real queer vibe: low-key, inclusive, livableVisa + residency options for Portugal, Ecuador, Italy, Spain, and ThailandWhy we're overweighting affordability in our gay cities research (because… math)
What if your trip to Portugal went beyond the highlights and into the heart of everyday life?In this episode of Transform With Travel, Kelly sits down with Paula Alves, co-founder of Portugal by TRAVELTAILORS, to explore what it truly means to experience Portugal through culture, tradition, and human connection.Paula shares how her childhood spent between the United States and rural Portugal shaped her passion for preserving traditions, supporting small family-run businesses, and designing deeply personal itineraries that go far beyond Lisbon, Porto, and the Algarve. From village festivals and granite stone homes in the north to food, wine, crafts, and multi-generational storytelling, this conversation reveals why Portugal is best discovered slowly, thoughtfully, and with the right local partners.This episode is an invitation to step off the checklist, reclaim time as the ultimate luxury, and experience Portugal as a living, breathing culture.You will learn:How Paula's childhood in rural northern Portugal inspired the creation of Portugal by TRAVELTAILORSWhy Portuguese culture is rooted in tradition, community, and rural lifeThe difference between seeing Portugal's cities and truly understanding the countryHow gastronomy and wine experiences reveal the heart of Portuguese cultureWhy small, family-owned businesses are central to sustainable travelWhat makes private, intimate experiences more meaningful than mass tourismRegions in Portugal advisors should emphasize beyond Lisbon and PortoWhy time, space, and immersion are the new luxury in travelHow Portugal is evolving as a destination for repeat visitors and premium travelersWe talk about:00:00 Intro 02:30 Paula's childhood between the U.S. and rural Portugal04:00 Life in northern villages, family traditions, and simplicity06:00 The inspiration behind Portugal by TRAVELTAILORS07:30 Portuguese culture, tradition, and rural life vs modern cities09:30 Northern Portugal, villages, animals, landscapes, and architecture11:00 Gastronomy, cooking workshops, and wine-making experiences13:00 Harvest season, grape stomping, and authentic timing15:00 Working with artisans, chefs, and small producers17:00 Sustainability, relationships, and supporting family-owned businesses19:00 Intimacy vs mass tourism and why small

message me: what did you take away from this episode? Ep 108 (http://ibit.ly/Re5V) Liz McNeill and the 5th anniversary wrap up#PhDMidwives #research #midwifery #doctoralstudies #supportnetwork #cheersquad #celebrations #globalmidwifery #phdlife #profdoc #DNP #DMPFive years on, the numbers tell a hopeful story—119 countries tuned in—but the real win is what listeners do with the ideas. We revisit a year of fiercely practical conversations that move from thriving after burnout to the politics of consent, from water birth service design to the realities of dual-qualified pathways, and from oxytocin research to the tools that measure and mend birth trauma. Along the way we challenge how naming shapes midwifery's visibility in research and policy, and we keep circling a core truth: informed choice isn't a slogan, it's practice.We also look ahead with purpose. I share my PhD submission timeline, a speaking-and-meetup tour across England, Scotland, Denmark, and the ICM conference in Lisbon. Most importantly, I'm calling in clinical doctoral midwives—PhDs, professional doctorates, DNPs—whose bedside perspective keeps scholarship honest and useful. If you're 12 months post-completion or working toward it, your voice belongs here.To widen the circle, we're considering launching “Spotlight On,” a new stream for trailblazers shaping midwifery and women's health outside formal doctorates: service redesigners, community advocates, educators, and policy shifters. Expect focused, story-rich chats that you can translate into practice the next day. If an episode sparks a better question with a woman in your care, or gives you language to push for change in your unit, the mission is working.If this resonates, help the midwifery voice carry further: follow the show, share it with a colleague, and leave a rating with one guest you want to hear next. Your suggestions shape the next hundred conversations.

Vanyfox is a DJ/producer taking the Portugal-born dance music genre batida to the world. Raised on the outskirts of Lisbon near the Quinta do Mocho neighborhood (home to many batida pioneers including Marfox and DJ Nervoso) and based in France, Vanyfox discusses his early memories and the emotions, experiences and production techniques that influence his sound, which borrows from trap, deep house and the rhythms of kuduro, kizomba and zouk. We talk about the deep life questions behind his Melodias e Choros EP, working with Montreal's Moonshine crew, his Angolan-Zairean heritage, the lineage of the coxes and foxes, his approach to DJing and his unique experiences traveling to Ivory Coast, Zanzibar, Saudi Arabia, and Ethiopia. Hosted by Vivian Host (aka DJ Star Eyes). For more info and extras, visit Ravetothegrave.org or Instagram @ravetothe.grave.

David Novo from Lisbon's Record newspaper joins to help us preview the Dérbi de Lisboa, as Benfica host Sporting CP in a battle for bragging rights in the Portuguese capital. Along with Porto — which hails from the town of the same name further north — they make up the Big Three clubs in this nation of under 11 million people that punches far above its weight on the global stage.We got into how, exactly, Portugal and these clubs in particular produce so many fantastic players. We traced some of the history of this rivalry, including the crucial intervention of the legendary Eusébio, who turned the tide after years of Sporting dominance to deliver Benfica into a new era. We talked over the return of José Mourinho to Portuguese football, as he's now coaching Benfica after all his years of massive success with Porto and across Europe. And David offered some intel on where to eat and drink if you're going to the Estádio da Luz — where this one will be played on Friday — or the Estádio José Alvalade.Follow David on Twitter and Instagram
Send us a textReputation travels faster than personal branding when the right people vouch for you. That idea sits at the core of our conversation with Evolve Commerce Club founder Carlos Monteiro, who traces a path from helping Danish companies enter Brazil to building an invite-only network of senior leaders across 48 markets. We dig into how perspective, generosity, and consistent follow-through transform one-off intros into compounding trust—and why that matters most for executives navigating career transitions.We unpack the early stumbles and the breakthrough: focusing on seasoned professionals who once represented a company but now need to represent themselves. Carlos explains how Evolve's paid club delivers tangible value with curated matchmaking, private expert sessions, and monthly off-the-record circles designed for honest asks, not pitches. As member outcomes grew, companies began commissioning targeted dinners and private workshops, giving the community a clear monetization path without sacrificing signal quality.We also get practical about tools and tactics. Despite doubts in parts of Europe, WhatsApp won because it's where people already are, driving daily engagement with minimal friction. Looking ahead, Evolve is investing in an AI agent to summarize profiles, automate thoughtful check-ins, and surface timely connections as careers evolve—augmenting human judgment rather than replacing it. Along the way, members are self-organizing meetups from Lisbon to Dubai, proving the culture is strong enough to scale.If you're a senior leader in transition or a connector at heart, you'll find a playbook for building trust-first networks: vet carefully, reward generosity, meet members where they are, and let results speak louder than branding.

The Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos is renowned for her large-scale sculptural pieces which have featured in galleries across the world. She has used materials such as fabric, plastic and even tampons to construct her works. In June 2018 her exhibition I'm Your Mirror opened at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. For this Joana made a series of new sculptures, including an enormous Venetian-style mask, made of overlapping mirrors. The construction of the huge mask was a process full of challenges as the enormous structure took shape in Joana's Lisbon studio. In this programme Anna McNamee follows Joana through the process of working with the mirrors and explores how the piece is designed, shaped and packed up ready to begin its journey to Bilbao.
https://barcelonazerolimits.com/inclusive-tourism/Skip the stress and bring back the wonder. From the floor of the Abilities Expo in Chicago, we sit down with Julian, a Barcelona-based traveler and tour operator who turned a life-altering accident into a blueprint for joyful, accessible journeys across Spain and Portugal. His philosophy is disarmingly simple: when accessibility is done right, you stop thinking about it and start savoring your trip.Julian opens the hood on his travel packages that stitch together Barcelona, Madrid, and Lisbon using fast trains, accessible vans, and verified hotels. He goes beyond labels to talk measurements that matter: doorway widths, bed heights, ramp gradients, and bathroom layouts that make or break a day.Julian's incomplete C7 injury taught him to design routes with no weak links, from station entry to dinner seating. We also share a little football joy—FC Barcelona pride and a love for the NFL—because travel should feel like a good game day: immersive, exciting, and free of needless friction.If you care about accessible travel, urban design, or simply want to explore Spain and Portugal without worrying about what might go wrong, this conversation delivers practical tips and fresh perspective.

This episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn more Watch the Full Video on YouTube - click hereAI dominates every conversation in the automotive industry, but very few companies know how to make it truly useful. That focus on real value is what led MIT research scientist Dr. Bryan Reimer to write How to Make AI Useful.The idea began casually over dinner in Lisbon, when someone asked him what he really thought about AI. Bryan didn't dive into predictions about machines taking over. He focused on something more practical: how AI only matters when it's built with people in mind.He breaks AI down into three realities: the excitement of what it could do, the fear that follows when we realize what it might do, and the long, steady work required to make it truly valuable. AI can automate the basics and even create new content, but its real strength is amplifying human skill, not replacing it. The goal isn't an autopilot workforce. It's a copilot.That means the fear that AI will take jobs is misplaced. AI changes work; it doesn't erase it. Just as assisted driving has changed how we drive, rather than removing the driver, AI will shift roles and demand new skills. Bryan points out that layoffs blamed on AI are often just business decisions wearing a convenient mask. The real question is how companies use AI to make work better rather than cheaper.To do that, leaders in automotive need to unlearn old habits. Years of rigid processes, slow decision-making, and fear of change make it hard for AI to deliver value.He argues that useful AI requires trust and transparency. It's hard for any organization to move forward when fear, hidden approvals, and layers of bureaucracy control decisions. If employees can't be trusted to make decisions, AI won't save them. The real challenge is cultural, not technical.Bryan expands the conversation globally. Japan is embracing robotics as companions, while Europe is focusing heavily on privacy. Culture shapes how AI grows, and automotive companies need to pay attention to what consumers value, not just what tech can do.He connects this to China as well. China's speed is not about dumping features into cars. It's about building products people can afford and use. If Western brands only chase faster or cheaper without real value, they will lose.AI becomes useful when companies start small, test real-world problems, and continually improve the tool until it actually helps people do their work. That progress may cost more in the beginning, but better safety features, more accurate data, and enhanced customer experiences rarely come from shortcuts. The goal is not to replace people. It's to build technology that helps them perform at a higher level.Themes discussed in this episode:How AI becomes useful only when it is designed to support human judgment instead of replacing workersWhy the “Wow, Whoa, and Grow” framework helps companies move beyond AI hype and build tools that solve real problemsHow assisted driving proves that advanced technology still depends on human responsibility and oversight to deliver safe, reliable resultsThe importance of unlearning outdated processes before applying AI to existing workflows in automotiveWhy a lack of trust inside automotive organizations slows down AI adoption more than the technology itselfLessons from China's speed in product development and why Western automakers should prioritize value and accessibility over rushed innovationWhat automotive leaders can learn from the pharmaceutical model of testing, releasing, and improving technology through data-driven updates over timeWhy leaders should start small, run narrow...
Send us a textWhat if your meetings, emails, and files didn't disappear into memory but evolved into a living, searchable system of record that actually moved work forward? That's the provocative idea we unpack with David Shim, Co-Founder and CEO at Read AI, who lays out how durable knowledge, personalized models, and a practical “digital twin” can turn everyday chaos into predictable outcomes.We start with the problem everyone feels: notes are scattered, context slips away, and the “why” behind decisions fades. David shows how capturing meetings alongside messages and documents lets patterns emerge you can't spot in isolation. Think instant summaries, action items, and follow-ups that show up where you work, plus multiplayer sharing that aligns teams without busywork. Then we go deeper—multilingual detection across 22+ languages, cultural sentiment baselines so a score means the same thing in Brazil and Belgium, and a narration layer that analyzes how things were said, not just the words themselves.The conversation builds to a future that's already peeking through: storage of intelligence as a company moat, and a digital twin that can answer client questions, preserve momentum during leave, and shrink onboarding from months to days. Agencies track client health before churn, podcasters turn archives into interactive knowledge, and everyday users get immediate value without learning a new workflow. Privacy isn't an afterthought; opt-in and a clear value exchange make participation a rational choice—like using traffic data because it gets you there faster.If you're curious about real productivity gains, faster adoption than smartphones, and AI that amplifies your best work rather than replacing it, this one delivers a roadmap you can use today.

In this episode, I talk about the difference between genuine positivity and emotional bypassing. You know that moment when you tell yourself, “It could be worse” or “I should just be grateful”? While gratitude can be beautiful, using it to skip over pain can actually disconnect you from what's real. We'll explore how to know when it's time to feel your feelings — sadness, anger, loneliness, frustration — and when it's time to shift your thinking. True growth comes from allowing the emotion to move through you, not rushing to replace it with a “good vibe.” You'll learn how to recognize when positivity is helping you and when it's actually keeping you stuck in numbing patterns — like over-drinking or over-doing, instead of creating real peace. I also share when to share how you are feeling with other people.. it's nuanced and you will for sure want to hear this.

How do we move quantum computing from scientific milestone to measurable business value? It's not an easy question to answer. When I first started covering this tech even the physicists charged with building such machines doubted the feasibility of the whole idea. That's no longer the case today, but the bar for quantum, especially compared to AI, remains almost impossibly high.

In their third session, Zach shifts focus from reparenting the self to rebuilding trust, compassion, and connection in real time. The couple begins by reflecting on the chaos of parenting two neurodivergent children and how exhaustion, overwhelm, and constant caregiving have reshaped their marriage. The wife shares that while parenting has deep purpose and spiritual meaning, it also leaves her feeling “brought to her knees.” The husband expresses gratitude for their new home in Lisbon and admiration for her recent self-care efforts—but his words about “having more respect” land in a complicated way. What unfolds next is a layered conversation about respect versus compassion—how differently each experiences and defines those words, and how love can be both abundant and still “not land.” The wife reveals her fear that her “bucket has a hole”—that trauma keeps love from staying inside. The husband wrestles with the feeling of being both compassionate and exhausted. Zach guides them toward clarity: that differences in meaning, experience, and emotional wiring don't mean disconnection—they're invitations to co-create a shared vocabulary of care. By the end, the trio lands on a metaphor for healing: building an inner “city with a well and garden”. A healthy place inside the self where gratitude, curiosity, and compassion can grow. From there, they imagine a next step; ten intentional days of small, mutual choices to create a shared sense of safety and hope. Key Takeaways Parenting exposes purpose and pressure – Raising neurodivergent kids has deepened their sense of mission but also stretched their capacity for joy. Respect and compassion can get tangled – The husband's expression of regained respect triggers the wife's old shame wounds, revealing how love languages can misfire even when intentions are good. Compassion must land – It's not about whether compassion exists, but whether it's experienced and felt. Trauma leaves “holes in the bucket” – The wife describes how past pain can make love hard to hold, even when it's generously offered. Shame cycles need space – Zach helps her imagine creating a small pause between shame and reaction—a mindful sliver that grows with practice. Safety over sameness – Each partner's version of health looks different, but the shared goal is to meet in a “healthy place,” not to drag the other toward one definition. Gratitude and agency go together – The husband learns that his peace can't depend on her choices; it must come from cultivating gratitude within himself. Ten-day goals – They agree to take small, concrete steps—ten days at a time—to make life together a little “more good” and a little “less bad.” Learn more about your ad choices.
