In this episode I am joined by Dr Francisco José Luis, scholar of Indo-Iranian Studies and Comparative Religion trained at the Sorbonne, Paris and SOAS, London. Francisco recalls his upbringing and education in Luxembourg; details his rigorous academic training in classical languages such as Latin, Greek, and Sanskrit; and laments what he sees as the rise of idealogical indoctrination in modern education Francisco discusses his PhD in pre-reformist Sikhism, his years of field work living in the Punjab, and expresses his love of the German intellectual tradition. Francisco reveals the influence of Neoplatonism in Islamic theology and mysticism, describes his own turn to Shiʿi Islam, and explains why he believes that even today there is a living lineage of Neoplatonism that stretches directly back to Plotinus. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep327-neoplatonic-mystic-dr-francisco-jos-luis Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 01:01 - Upbringing in Luxembourg 02:56 - Classical education 04:28 - Learning Latin, Greek, and Sanskrit 08:03 - Germanic intellectual tradition and WW2 12:37 - Advantages of an anti-American education 15:06 - Critical thinking and intellectual independence 17:04 - Boomer educators and idealogical indoctrination 20:59 - German literature 22:56 - Post WW2 culture shock and the boomer revolution 27:20 - Vatican II and loss of trust 30:35 - Filling education gaps 32:06 - A deeply pagan Catholic 35:21 - Meditation practice and interest in Neo-Vedanta 37:52 - Studying two masters degrees simultaneously at the Sorbonne 39:57 - Rigorous training in Sanskrit 43:56 - MA theses in French literature and pre-reform Sikhism 45:20 - PhD at SOAS in pre-reformist Sikh monastic orders 46:48 - Living among the Sikh community and learning Punjabi 49:54 - Young Sikh's interest in pre-reformist religion 50:54 - Death threats from Sikhs 53:00 - Changes in Sikhism 55:20 - Tradition religious music of Sikhism and other pre-reformist features 01:00:18 - Neo-traditionalist Sikh movements in the UK and India 01:03:59 - Falling in love with Shiʿi Islam 01:10:16 - Conversion to Islam? 01:11:45 - Shi'ism as a personal practice 01:13:23 - Cultural barriers against European converts 01:16:12 - Neo-Platonic Vajrayanism 01:17:43 - Mysticism perceived as a threat 01:21:48 - Neoplatonic influence on Islam 01:27:28 - Surprising Neo-Platonic features of Islamic mysticism 01:33:30 - Metempsychosis in Islam 01:37:16 - Francisco is a Neoplatonist 01:43:08 - Vajrayana and Shiʿi inner alchemy and dream yoga 01:50:43 - Islamic tummo … To find our more about Dr Francisco José Luis, visit: - https://www.instagram.com/hludvig_tradicionalista For more interviews, videos, and more visit: - https://www.guruviking.com Music ‘Deva Dasi' by Steve James

A new column in The Times asks whether the public is growing weary of Prince Harry's steady stream of grievances, with royal experts warning he is entering “high-risk territory.” Elsewhere, King Charles is reportedly allowing Prince Andrew to continue hosting shooting parties despite public unease, leaving Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie caught between family loyalty and Sandringham tradition. Commentators say Sarah Ferguson's troubled royal history should serve as a warning for Meghan Markle, while Prince William lightened the mood by sharing Tom Hanks's unlikely reason for becoming an Aston Villa supporter. Also today, locals near Windsor grumble as William and Kate's move to Forest Lodge closes off long-treasured dog walking paths. And in Luxembourg, Grand Duke Henri formally abdicates after 25 years, with Prince Guillaume stepping into his new role.

hesitated at first.Fr: Mais elle trouvait peu à peu ses mots, racontant des anecdotes sur ses voyages et parlant avec tendresse des petits bonheurs qu'elle avait vécus.En: But she gradually found her words, sharing anecdotes about her travels and speaking fondly of the little joys she had experienced.Fr: "Je t'entends parler, et ça me fascine, Élise," avoua finalement Thibaut.En: "I hear you talking, and it fascinates me, Élise," Thibaut finally admitted.Fr: "Mais souvent, je n'ai pas l'impression de vraiment te connaître."En: "But often, I don't feel like I really know you."Fr: Élise le

had grown in her absence, forging his own story.Fr: Camille, sentant le moment propice, prétexta une promenade jusqu'à la fontaine, laissant ses enfants à un dialogue plus profond.En: Sensing the moment was right, Camille excused herself for a walk to the fountain, leaving her children to a deeper dialogue.Fr: Élise prit une profonde inspiration, décidant d'abattre les murs invisibles qu'elle percevait entre elle et Thibaut.En: Élise took a deep breath, deciding to break down the invisible walls she perceived between her and Thibaut.Fr: "Tu sais, partir n'a pas été facile," commença-t-elle.En: "You know, leaving wasn't easy," she began.Fr: "J'ai toujours eu peur de perdre le lien entre nous."En: "I've always been afraid of losing the connection between us."Fr: Thibaut hocha la tête, et sous les arbres jaunissants, un échange chargé d'émotions se déroula.En: Thibaut nodded, and under the yellowing trees, a conversation charged with emotions unfolded.Fr: Élise écouta attentivement Thibaut partager ses ambitions, ses inquiétudes à l'université, et son désir d'une relation plus proche avec elle.En: Élise listened carefully as Thibaut shared his ambitions, his concerns at university, and his desire for a closer relationship with her.Fr: C'était un moment de lâcher-prise, d'acceptation, de connexion.En: It was a moment of letting go, acceptance, and

lighter, the weight of the distance gradually disappearing.Fr: Elle comprit que bien que les voyages l'aient éloignée physiquement, rien ne pourrait jamais rompre les liens familiaux.En: She

Ralph answers some of your recent questions about the genocide in Gaza, how to jumpstart civic engagement, and more!Your feedback is very important. And the more detailed and factual it is, the better off the impact will be by your initiative and getting back to us. You have to be active in a program like this. Because we're not just talking to the choir here. We want the choir to sing back—in affirmation or dissent.Ralph NaderI was astonished…how disinterested the American people are in empowering themselves. That's the problem we have. The lack of civic motivation, the lack of saying, “Look, we've given our power to only 535 people in the Congress, and they've turned it against us on behalf of some 1,500 corporations. We're going to turn it around. We're the sovereign power.” As I've said a hundred times, the Constitution starts with “We the people,” not “We the Congress” or “We the corporations.” And the people don't seem to want to focus on that. If they had anyone in their neighborhood and community who were treating them the way Congress is treating them—as voters, as workers, as consumers, as parents, as children, as taxpayers—they would never allow it.Ralph NaderYou get more and more voters vulnerable to just what comes out of a politician's mouth. Remember, everything Trump has achieved politically has come out of his mouth—not out of his deeds, just out of his mouth. Repeatedly, unrebutted largely over the mass media, and faithfully relayed to the American people by a supine media which points out his mistakes once in a while, but it was too little, too late.Ralph NaderNews 9/26/25* This week, the campaign for Palestinian statehood notched major victories. According to the BBC, the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Australia and Portugal all announced on Sunday that they would recognize the state of Palestine. They are expected to be joined by a number of smaller states, including Belgium, Luxembourg, Malta, Andorra and San Marino. These countries, all traditionally close allies of the United States and Israel, join the 140 countries that already recognize the State of Palestine. A statement by Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese explains that this move is “part of a co-ordinated international effort to build new momentum for a two-state solution, starting with a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of the hostages.” These heads of state are pursuing this policy despite a thinly veiled threat from Congressional Republicans, a group of whom – including Senator Ted Cruz and Representative Elise Stefanik – sent a letter to President Macron and Prime Ministers Starmer, Carney and Albanese warning them of possible “punitive measures in response,” and urging them to “reconsider,” per the Guardian.* In more Palestine news, as the Global Sumud Flotilla draws near to the coast of Gaza, they are apparently under low-level attack. Al Jazeera reports the flotilla, “has reported explosions and communications jamming as drones hovered overhead.” In response, the United Nations has called for a probe, with UN Human Rights Office spokesperson Thameen Al-Kheetan stating, “There must be an independent, impartial and thorough investigation into the reported attacks and harassment by drones and other objects.” In response to this harassment, Reuters reports Italian Defence Minister Guido Crosetto expressed the “strongest condemnation” and ordered the “Italian multi-purpose frigate Fasan, previously sailing north of Crete, to head towards the flotilla ‘for possible rescue operations', focusing primarily on Italian citizens.” The strong response by the Italian government is likely related to the labor unrest the targeting of the flotilla has engendered within the country. ANSA, a leading Italian news outlet, reports the Unione Sindacale di Base or USB “would proclaim a wildcat general strike and protests in 100 Italian cities for Gaza after the success of Monday's stoppage and protests involving an estimated 500,000 people in 80 cities.” The union has organized these massive protests under the slogan “let's block everything.”* In more foreign policy news, following on the heels of the protests in Nepal, anti-corruption protestors took to the streets in the Philippines this week, Time reports. The acute cause of these protests was a recent audit which found widespread corruption in the country's flood control projects. The Philippines has invested around $9.5 billion on such projects since 2022, but these have been plagued by kickback schemes, resulting in shoddy work and even deaths. Even President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., aka “Bongbong,” sympathized with the protestors, saying “Do you blame them for going out into the streets? If I wasn't President, I might be out in the streets with them…Of course, they are enraged. Of course, they are angry. I'm angry. We should all be angry. Because what's happening is not right.” The potency of these protests is likely to grow as the Philippines was hit this week by Typhoon Ragasa, which is reported to have killed three Filipinos this week, per NBC.* For our final foreign policy update, just days after the dubiously-legal strikes that killed 11 Venezuelans on a boat the U.S. claims was being used to transport drugs, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro sent a letter to American special envoy Richard Grenell, per CNN. In this letter, Maduro denies any involvement with narco-trafficking, calling the allegations “fake news, propagated through various media channels,” and calling for Trump to “promote peace through constructive dialogue and mutual understanding throughout the hemisphere.” Trump brushed off Maduro, saying “We'll see what happens with Venezuela,” perhaps implying a renewed attempt to remove the Venezuelan president. Since then, the U.S. has conducted more of these lethal strikes, with no conclusive proof of the victims' criminality. The U.S. government is offering a $50 million bounty for Maduro's arrest.* Moving northward, a disturbing story comes to us from Florida. The Miami Herald reports, “As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined.” Speaking to the paper, attorneys characterized entering the facility as entering “an alternate [immigration] system where the normal rules don't apply.” This story cites one case of a man “accidentally deported to Guatemala before a scheduled bond hearing,” similar to the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, and a Cuban man supposedly transferred to a facility in California but who could not be located there. This kind of disappearing of migrants adds fuel to the fire of the worst suspicions about the administration's immigration policies. The Florida facility was forced to halt operations after a court ruling in August, but an appeals court has now overruled that ruling. The future of the site and its detainees remains uncertain.* In another instance of what appears to be a cover-up by the Trump administration, NPR reports the Department of Agriculture will “end a longstanding annual food insecurity survey.” In a statement, the USDA called the report “redundant, costly, politicized, and extraneous.” This removes another crucial data tool, following the discontinuation of the Bureau of Labor Statistics' jobs report Trump ended just weeks ago. The signature legislation of Trump's second term thus far, the One Big Beautiful Bill, expanded work requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, which is estimated to cut food aid to 2.4 million Americans. That will surely add to the 47.4 million food insecure households recorded in 2023. Crystal FitzSimons, president of the Food Research and Action Center (FRAC), told NPR “The national food insecurity survey is a critical, reliable data source that shows how many families in America struggle to put food on the table…Without that data, we are flying blind.”* And in another assault on the regulatory state, the Supreme Court this week allowed Trump to keep Rebecca Slaughter – the last remaining Democrat on the Federal Trade Commission – out of her post for another three months. POLITICO reports the high court is reviewing a 90-year-old law which “limit[s] the president's power to fire…officials for political reasons.” According to this report, many expect the conservative majority on the court will rule that that law “unconstitutionally interferes with the president's ability to control the executive branch.” If so, Trump will be able to remove Slaughter permanently – along with any other remaining Democrats within the regulatory apparatus.* On the media front, ABC – and its parent company, Disney – have balked, reinstating Jimmy Kimmel's late night television program after abruptly suspending the show last week. Kimmel, in his return, clarified that “it was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man,” but excoriated the ABC affiliates who took his show off the air, calling the move “un-American.” This from AP. Theories abound as to why exactly ABC and/or Disney walked back what seemed like a cancellation; these include a potential costly lawsuit due to wrongful termination of Kimmel's contract, as well as a coordinated boycott campaign targeting Disney's streaming service, Disney+. For his part, President Trump washed his hands of the fiasco, writing that Kimmel can “rot in his bad Ratings,” per New York Magazine.* In tech news, Axios reports the Trump administration has approved Grok, Elon Musk's AI chatbot, for official use by every government agency. This news comes via a press release from the General Services Administration. This release quotes Musk, who says “We look forward to continuing to work with President Trump and his team to rapidly deploy AI throughout the government for the benefit of the country.” This comes after an August 25th letter in which a coalition of over 30 consumer groups – such as Public Citizen, Consumer Federation of America, and the Center for AI and DigitalPolicy – urged the Office of Management and Budget, led by Russell Vought, to “take immediate action to block the deployment or procurement of Grok.” Among the concerns cited in this letter are Grok's penchant for generating “conspiratorial and inflammatory content, including accusations that South Africans were committing a ‘white genocide'...Expressing ‘skepticism' about historical consensus of the Holocaust death toll and espousing Holocaust denial talking points…[and] Referring to itself as ‘MechaHitler'.” It remains to be seen what, if any, next steps opponents can take to halt the incorporation of Grok into the daily functions of the federal government.* Finally, Adelita Grijalva has won the Arizona 7th congressional district special election in a landslide. According to preliminary reports, she swamped her Republican opponent Daniel Butierez by nearly 40 points, according to Newsweek. This is a substantially larger margin than that won by Kamala Harris in 2024, who won the district by 23 points, which itself was a 10-point decline from Joe Biden, who won the district by 33 points in 2020. Grijalva's ascension to the House will further winnow away the Republicans' razor-thin majority in that chamber, bringing the margin to 219-214. She could also prove to be the critical 218th vote in favor of releasing the Epstein files. Adelita is the daughter of Raúl Grijalva, who passed away earlier this year. The elder Grijalva was widely considered one of the most progressive House Democrats, being the first member of Congress to endorse Bernie Sanders in his 2016 campaign and the second to call for Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. Hopefully, the new Representative Grijalva will fill those big shoes.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

From Madrid to Luxembourg, BMX legend Viki Gómez and his wife Alexandra share their story of the sport, sponsorship, artistry, resilience and dreams for the sport's future. When you think of BMX, images of ramps, flips, and adrenaline-fueled stunts may come to mind. But for Viki Gómez, the Spanish-born, six-time World Champion in BMX Flatland, the sport is art form on two wheels. For over two decades, Viki has pushed the limits of what's possible, carving out a career of creativity, athleticism, and global recognition. That's what Red Bull spotted and why, since 2003, Viki has been a Red Bull Athlete - one of the very first BMX riders to gain such a sponsorship. This partnership also helped to catapult BMX Flatland to be seen as a serious international sport, requiring skill, creativity and practiced technique. Red Bull's backing gave Viki the chance to travel all over the world, inspiring so many young people, some who had never seen a bike before. “It meant credibility,” Viki reflected. “It gave me the chance to keep innovating.” Behind the titles, trophies, and TEDx talks, there is also a working and loving partnership off the bike. His wife, Alexandra Gobran, originally from Luxembourg and raised in Sweden, has been instrumental in steering his professional journey. With a background in law and sports management, she co-founded GG.M. Gobran Gomez Management. In Luxembourg, they've brought international projects to life — from the Red Bull 3EN1 events at Péitruss Skatepark to cultural collaborations with UNESCO and ESCH2022. In 2024, they spearheaded the UEC European Championships in BMX Flatland at Rotondes, in collaboration with the Luxembourg National Cycling Federation, the Sports Ministry, and the City of Luxembourg. Of course, as with all sports at the highest levels, injuries are ever-present realities. This has helped Viki and his wife develop their latest venture, VIKING Cykles, which merges sport, design, and sustainability, producing premium titanium gravel and BMX parts.

Deux ans après l'attentat terroriste du 7 octobre 2023 perpétrée par le Hamas en Israël, la guerre menée par le gouvernement israélien de Benjamin Netanyahu a abouti à une situation dramatique à Gaza avec des dizaines de milliers de morts et une famine dans l'enclave déclarée par l'ONU. Lundi 22 septembre, à la tribune de l'ONU à New York, la France a reconnu l'État de Palestine. D'autres pays européens comme le Royaume-Uni, le Portugal, la Belgique ou encore le Luxembourg ont également procédé à cette reconnaissance. À présent, quelles vont être les conséquences concrètes de ces reconnaissances de la Palestine ?

Welcome to The Times of Israel's newest podcast series, Friday Focus. Each Friday, join host deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan and diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman for a deep dive into what's behind the news that spins the globe. On Sunday, the tally of the 193 UN members who recognize a State of Palestine grew to at least 145 as the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and Portugal formally joined their ranks. Several other countries, including France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Malta, followed suit during a summit on the future of the two-state solution chaired by France and Saudi Arabia on Monday at United Nations headquarters in New York. We discuss why these states believe that this recognition is an anti-Hamas gesture and may kick off negotiations to end the war in Gaza. Israel, for its part, thinks that the recognition is a prize for terror: On this, Hamas appeared to agree, thanking the UK and Canada and calling their action a “victory.” This week, Berman delves into the knotty issue of Palestinian statehood and potentially unforeseen ripple effects. Friday Focus can be found on all podcast platforms. This episode was produced by the Pod-Waves.

Why do some buyers eagerly drop thousands on a luxury item, then balk at paying a fraction of that for something useful and well-made? In this solo episode of Product: Knowledge, Laurier Mandin unpacks the Premium Buyer Paradox and explores the psychology behind premium pricing. From Dyson's visible engineering, to Bang & Olufsen's design-driven luxury, to Montblanc's identity-making pens, you'll hear how different brands justify their price tags and change buyer behavior. Laurier also shares practical tips on how product makers can earn the right to charge more—through quality, service, consistency, and customer delight. If you want to know what really makes buyers say yes to premium pricing, this episode is for you.Episode Highlights[00:00:25] The Premium Buyer Paradox — why someone will drop $100K on a Range Rover but complain your $50 service is “too expensive.”[00:01:59] Premium pricing isn't decided, it's earned. Louis Vuitton's $1,500 handbags are backed by 171 years of brand-building, not just fonts and packaging.[00:02:55] The buyer's price ceiling = desirability ÷ resources (money, time, effort, risk). Context changes everything.[00:03:57] The iPhone Affordability Index: 3 days of work in Luxembourg vs. 160 days in India for the same phone.[00:05:13] Dyson turned vacuums into engineering theater—visible performance made a $600 splurge at Costco irresistible, even to value shoppers.[00:06:34] Bang & Olufsen reframed speakers and TVs as design furniture, creating a luxury moat value shoppers won't cross.[00:07:12] Montblanc pens transformed from writing tools to prestige markers—identity, not function, is what buyers pay for.[00:08:26] How to earn premium pricing: start with quality construction, offer an amazing warranty, deliver above-and-beyond service, nail packaging, and stay flawless in every detail.[00:09:22] Delight every customer and disappoint no one. That's the only path to lasting premium status.

Le portefeuille électronique européen Wero fête son premier anniversaire avec plus de 43 millions d'utilisateurs. Ludovic Francesconi, responsable du développement de Wero, revient sur le lancement, les ambitions et les particularités de ce nouveau service de paiement mobile pensé par les banques européennes.Pensé comme une alternative souveraine aux géants américains du paiement, Wero mise sur l'intégration directe dans les applications bancaires, un système de transfert d'argent instantané de compte à compte, et un fort soutien des institutions publiques. Une stratégie qui semble porter ses fruits, avec une adoption rapide notamment en France et en Allemagne.L'application, née de la transformation de Paylib, est déjà utilisée quotidiennement pour les paiements de particulier à particulier (P2P), via mobile, email ou QR code. Le service est intégré dans les principales applications bancaires (sauf à ce jour la Banque Postale), ce qui facilite grandement son accès pour les clients.Dès 2026, Wero vise l'extension de ses usages au commerce en ligne (e-commerce), avec des partenaires de poids comme Leclerc, Air France ou encore des administrations publiques. L'ambition est aussi d'arriver en point de vente physique, d'abord via QR code, puis via NFC.Si la souveraineté européenne est un enjeu important, Ludovic Francesconi insiste sur l'expérience utilisateur, la simplicité, la gratuité pour les consommateurs et un coût réduit pour les commerçants. L'objectif est de faire de Wero une solution moderne, fluide et compétitive.Aujourd'hui disponible en France, Allemagne et Belgique, Wero prévoit de s'étendre aux Pays-Bas et au Luxembourg en 2026, représentant ainsi 75 % des paiements de la zone euro. L'international n'est pas exclu à long terme, mais la priorité reste le marché européen.

Comedy in Luxembourg: Jess Bauldry speaks on the upcoming royal-themed stand-up event by

Royalty 101: Ten hereditary monarchies survive in Europe today; Belgium, Denmark, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, The United Kingdom, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein and Monaco. Each of them pass their thrones within their respective royal or noble family based on different rules. Some give daughters equal right to sons, some bar women and their children entirely. Princes and Princesses may be born into or removed from the line based their religion, if they are raised in the country, who they marry and other factors. Some monarchies have tight laws and successions lines only 10 to 20 people long. While others have lines which include thousands of extended relatives. Let's take a look at who is and is not in line for the thrones of each of the 10 modern European monarchies. And take a look at the historic events and royal scandals have shaped succession rules over the centuries. Plus we'll find out which royals are in line for more than one throne. Belgium: Princess Elisabeth, Duchess of Brabant Denmark: Christian, Crown Prince of Denmark; The Netherlands: Catharina-Amalia, Princess of Orange Norway: Haakon, Crown Prince of Norway; Princess Ingrid Alexandra Spain: Leonor, Princess of Asturias Sweden: Victoria, Crown Princess of Sweden The United Kingdom: William, Prince of Wales; Prince George Luxembourg: Guillaume, Hereditary Grand Duke of Luxembourg; Prince Charles Liechtenstein: Alois, Hereditary Prince of Liechtenstein; Prince Joseph Wenzel Monaco: Jacques, Hereditary Prince of Monaco Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!

On Monday night in New York, European Council President António Costa announced that a majority of EU member states, 16 in numbers, now officially recognise the State of Palestine. The list includes Belgium, Cyprus, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Romania, Sweden, Slovenia, Slovakia, Portugal, Malta, France and Luxembourg. Costa didn't directly call for other countries to follow, but his tone made clear he viewed this as a positive development, without him necessarily pointing that out. Still, the EU remains deeply divided over its reaction to the Gaza war. But what does this recognition mean for Palestinians, for Israel's retaliation, and for the EU countries?Join us on our journey through the events that shape the European continent and the European Union.Production: By Europod, in co production with Sphera Network.Follow us on:LinkedInInstagram Hosted on Acast.

My Story   Talk 27  More Activities in Europe Welcome to Talk 27 in our series where I'm reflecting on God's goodness to me throughout my life. Last time I was talking about our off-campus activities while we were at Mattersey. I began by talking about activities in Britain and concluded with our activities in Europe, particularly in connection with EPTA, the European Pentecostal Theological Association. Today we'll be saying more about Europe, first with regard to our activities in the Pentecostal European Fellowship, and then about my preaching in national leaders' conferences as well as in local churches. The Pentecostal European Fellowship As I have already explained, PEF was formed as a result of a merger between PEC and EPF. Little did I know when I accepted the invitation to preach at the PEC conference in 1978 that it would eventually lead not only to the founding of EPTA but also to a ministry within PEF itself, and ultimately to representing Europe on the Presidium of the Pentecostal World Conference. Because of my experience in Europe, I was first asked by the AoG Executive Council, as its chairman, to represent AoG on the PEF committee. Jakob Zopfi from Swtizerland had been its chairman for many years and, after Reinhold Ulonska retired as vice-chairman, the PEF Committee elected me to take his place. Major features of the work of PEF were the conferences it usually held once every three years. Thousands of people from all over Europe came to these conferences, though the majority on each occasion came from the country that was hosting it. Relatively few, however, came from the UK. This may have been because of the cost of crossing the channel, or even because the preaching was always done through an interpreter which English speaking people often find it hard to get used to. After preaching at the conference in The Hague in 1978, the next PEF conference we attended was in Böblingen near Stuttgart in 1984, but not in any official capacity. Eileen and I went on to attend conferences in Jönköping, (Sweden, 1991), Bordeaux (France, 1994), Fridek-Mistek (Czech Republic, 1997), Helsinki (Finland, 2000), and Berlin (Germany, 2003). There are many towns in Sweden with a name ending in -koping. It's connected with our English word shopping and is roughly equivalent to market. It was at Jönköping (pronounced yernsherping) that I was appointed to serve as Vice Chairman of PEF. We travelled there by car, which may seem surprising bearing in mind the distance, but it meant that Eileen could come with me, and the trip would cost no more than the price of one air ticket for me. And it turned out that, as most of the delegates had arrived by plane, there was little transport available between the hotel and the conference centre. This meant that we were able to transport Dr Ray Hughes, who was the chairman of the Pentecostal World Conference and the guest speaker from America, to and from the meetings. It gave him the opportunity to get to know us and may have been partly the reason why the following year I was appointed to serve on the PWC advisory committee, and eventually as a member of its presidium. We also travelled by car to the Bordeaux conference in 1994, combining it with a holiday exploring south-western France and visiting Castera Verduzan in Gascony, and Mauléon-Licharre and Eaux Bonnes in the Pyrenees. The conference was particularly significant for Eileen because she was the wife of the Vice-Chairman. This normally carried no specific responsibility, but Sylvia Zopfi, the wife of the Chairman, had broken her leg and was unable to attend. Consequently, it fell to Eileen to preside at a meal for ladies, most of whom were French speaking. Of course there was an interpreter, but Eileen never saw herself as an ‘up front' person and was understandably nervous. Because it was a meal for ladies, I was unable to attend, but I found out later that Herman von Ameron, the husband of the guest speaker, had crept in at the back. So I asked him privately how Eileen had got on, and he replied, She was magnificent. She was like the Queen! Following the political reforms known as perestroika introduced by Russian President Mikhail Gorbachov in the late 1980s, Czechoslovakia was divided into two separated nations, the Czech Republic (or Czechia) and Slovakia. Fridek-Mistek was the venue chosen for the 1997 PEF conference, because it lies on the border of these two countries and so provided delegates from both equal opportunities to attend. Once again, Eileen and I travelled by car, taking extra care in Czechia not to exceed the speed limit, as we'd heard that the Czech police were likely to impose heavy fines on foreigners for any minor infringement. We took the opportunity to visit Prague, a beautiful city, for a weekend before travelling on to the conference. It was now almost 20 years since I had first preached at the conference in The Hague, but for the next decade I was to become a regular speaker with the special responsibility of preaching on the Baptism in the Holy Spirit and praying for people to receive. Sadly there are still many people who attend Pentecostal churches who have not yet come into the experience and in a conference where thousands are in attendance the numbers coming forward for prayer were likely to be enormous. Pentecostal pastors often seem reluctant to teach on the subject, possibly because they are frightened that, when they lay hands on those they pray for, they will not begin to speak in tongues. So I felt the need to preach not only to the people, but also to the pastors. And at Fridek-Mistek I decided to pray for the pastors before I prayed for the people. I asked all the pastors who wanted the Lord to use them in laying hands on people to receive the baptism, to come forward first. I explained that I would pray for them first so that they could then join with me in praying for the people. Dozens of pastors came forward and after I had prayed for them I asked them to turn round and face the congregation. I then called the people to come forward. Hundreds came and each pastor had a queue of people to pray for. Of course, it's impossible to know how many spoke in tongues for the first time, especially in a meeting where so many different languages are spoken! And, even with the people I personally prayed for, there was no way of knowing if they were speaking in tongues or if they were just praying in their own native language. But one thing was particularly noteworthy. When teaching on the baptism I have always been careful to stress that the evidence we are expecting is tongues, not tingles – or shaking, or falling over, or anything else that has no clear biblical basis! However, when one of the people I prayed for did fall over, there was an immediate reaction in the queue next to mine. People started to move into my queue. Perhaps they felt that, despite all I had said, they would somehow get something extra if they fell over! There is still a desperate need for teaching on this throughout the Pentecostal movement and the charismatic renewal worldwide. After the conference we drove into Austria and stayed in an apartment in the church in Bad Ischl where Klaus Winter, the PEF treasurer, was the pastor. I preached in his church and we had a wonderful ten days there exploring Salzburg and the Salzkammergut, the wonderful area where The Sound of Music was filmed. The Helsinki conference was held in the summer of the year 2000 but was preceded by an EPTA conference held in Kaggeholme near Stockholm. We travelled by car as far as Kaggeholme but after EPTA we parked it at Arlanda airport and flew to Helsinki. As Jakob Zopfi was unable to attend because of an illness, it was my responsibility to chair the conference. I also preached on the baptism in the Holy Spirit and, as at Fridek-Mistek, had the privilege of praying for many who were seeking. Shortly after that Jakob Zopfi retired as the PEF chairman and I confess that I was rather relieved not to be appointed as his successor. I too was soon to retire from Mattersey and frankly I didn't want the responsibility. Ingolf Ellsel, a younger man who was the leader of the BFP in Germany, was appointed as chairman, and I was happy to continue to serve as vice chairman. In 2003 the conference was held in Berlin in June. En route we stopped at Liège preaching there over the weekend. We reached Berlin in good time for the conference travelling at times at almost 150 m.p.h. on the autobahns where there was no speed limit. We stayed in a hotel on the outskirts of Berlin in Spandau, famous for its ballet company, and travelled in by underground train to the conference meetings. As in previous years I preached and prayed for people to receive the baptism and hundreds came forward. When Ingolf Ellsel asked who had spoken in tongues for the first time it seemed like just about everybody who had been prayed for raised their hand. It was experiences like this that were undoubtedly the reason why I was asked to speak at so many churches and conferences for national leaders. Churches and National Leaders' Conferences During the years I was at Mattersey I spoke at several national leaders' conferences as well as ministering in local churches. Most of the teaching I did at national conferences centred on the baptism and gifts of the Holy Spirit and how to encourage them at local church level.  These included Germany and Hungary (1989), Iceland (1990), Austria (1999), Belgium (2003) and France (2004) where I was required to preach six times in French on a variety of topics.   The conference was held in Léognan, near Bordeaux, and close to the site of the ADD Bible College. (ADD Assemblées de Dieu i.e. AoG). I taught several sessions in the college in the week preceding the conference and then preached at a youth event held in a marquee in the college grounds. This was an occasion where I really needed the Lord to help me. Of course we always need his help, but this time even more so. I had completely forgotten that I was scheduled to be the speaker at this event, so I said to the principal of the college,             I don't really need to be at the youth meeting this afternoon, do I? To which he replied,             Mais si, vous êtes le prédicteur! (But yes, you are the preacher!) But I had nothing prepared, and I had never preached to young people in French before. Fortunately, several of my books have been translated into French including The Holy Spirit – an Introduction. I had little more than an hour before the meeting began and so, helped the French text of the section on the fruit of the Spirit, I hurriedly prepared a message on this, using examples from the life of Jesus. And the Lord really blessed it. Dozens of young people came forward responding to the appeal to seek to rededicate their lives to Christ. That really encouraged me as the I was preaching in the thousand strong assembly in Bordeaux where Daniel Hébert, whom I had met through PEF, was the pastor. But before leaving the subject of national conferences I need to mention that it was at that conference that David Cizéron gave me a book about his father's work in a part of France I had never heard of, something which will become relevant in a later talk. As far as preaching in local churches is concerned, there are of course far too many to mention them all. I have already talked about my trips to Sweden when I preached in local churches as well as teaching in Bible Colleges. One highlight of these trips was preaching in the Filadelfia church in Stockholm founded by the renowned Pentecostal pioneer, Lewi Pethrus (whose name, incidentally, features immediately before mine in the International Dictionary of Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements). Another highlight was travelling with Eileen to Kristinehamn at the northern end of Lake Vänern, the largest lake in Sweden, and preaching for a week for Paul Gren, one of our former Mattersey students. Germany was another country I also visited frequently. My contact with Germany came from three different though interrelated sources – EPTA which I have already mentioned, the national leaders of the Volksmission group of churches, and the local church in Heidenheim. Herbert Ros and Günter Kaupp were president and vice-president of Volksmission and had both been students at Kenley under the principalships of Donald Gee and John Carter respectively. They both had a great respect for what we were doing at Mattersey and over the years sent us a good number of excellent students who, after they had returned to Germany to take up pastorates there, invited us to minister for them whenever we were in Germany. It was also through my contacts with the leadership of Volksmission that I was invited on several occasions to travel round the churches for a couple of weeks often preaching for just one evening in each church. I was usually accompanied by Eileen, who loved travelling with me and enjoying the beautiful scenery of southern Germany and the warm hospitality we received in homes wherever we went. We undertook such trips in 1998, and 1999, when I was also the guest speaker at the BFP national leaders' conference. (BFP was the wider Pentecostal movement in Germany of which Volksmission had become a part). We made similar trips in 1994, '95, and '96. But it was the church at Heidenheim that we visited most frequently. The pastor there was Albert Bühler. In the early eighties his son-in-law Jürgen Single had heard about a youth camp we were holding at Mattersey during the summer vacation and asked if he could visit it with a coachload of young people from their church as they were arranging a tour of England. We were delighted to receive them and that was the beginning of a lovely relationship we enjoyed with the Bühler-Single family and the church in Heidenheim. We also visited Luxembourg on several occasions due to our relationship with John and Ann Leese who, as AoG missionaries, did an amazing job over many years planting a church there. John had been a student at Kenley when I first started teaching there. We first visited them for a weekend with William and Anthea Kay in 1990 and then again for a holiday in '92 with our daughter Debbie, her husband David, and their one-year-old daughter, Emily, who was our first grandchild. We have visited them many times since including 2001 when John asked me to take care of the preaching (in French, not Luxembourgish) while he and Ann were on holiday. It's also through our contact with Luxembourg that some of my books were translated into French. I will always be grateful to Caroline Hutin, a French schoolteacher who specialised in English, who spent many hours translating You'd Better Believe It, Body Builders, and Just a Taste of Heaven. Having these available was very helpful when I was preaching or teaching in French-speaking countries like France and Belgium. I am so grateful to the Lord that people have enjoyed my teaching and have usually wanted to know more. And my books, in whatever language, have made that possible. My ministry in Belgium was concentrated largely in and around Brussels, at the Continental Theological Seminary where I taught regularly for several years, and at the Christian Centre which held services in both English and French. Daniel Costanza, the pastor of the French speaking church, has used my books as a basis for teaching various courses of Bible study. Jacques Dernelle, who teaches regular courses at CTS, also pastors a great church in Tubize where I have also had the privilege of teaching and preaching. And on at least two occasions I visited Liège and gave a series of teaching which seemed to be well appreciated by the people there. In France where we frequently went on holiday we always sought to attend the nearest ADD church on Sunday mornings and I was often asked to preach. I remember preaching in Versailles, Pau, Mourrenx, Clermont-Ferrand, and Toulouse. However, in Embrun they didn't know who I was and anyway there was already a guest preacher, a French pastor, Samuel Foucart, from Pavilly near Rouen. I enjoyed his preaching and spoke with him afterwards. We exchanged contact details and as a result I was invited in the year 2000 to do a week's teaching on the Holy Spirit. Countries I visited only once or twice during this period were Austria, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, and Italy. In 1982 at the invitation of Carl Pocklington we went to Austria for a week and I preached in Villach and Klagenfürt. And in 2000 I taught for a few days in the church in Linz where Eddie Griesfelder was the pastor. On two occasions I preached for a week in Messina in Sicily where Giuseppe Melusso was the pastor of large AoG church. In 1991 I preached in Reykjavik (Iceland), and in Nokia (Finland) where Teuvo Valkama, one of our former students was the pastor. And in 2002 I preached in Copenhagen (Denmark) and Limerick in Ireland. I look back on all these experiences with great joy and a profound sense of gratitude to the Lord for the privilege of declaring his word in so many places and to so many people. Next time we'll be talking about our service for the Lord beyond Europe.

At the EUVC Summit 2025, the award for Emerging Manager of the Year went to a team that has carved its place in Europe's venture ecosystem with grit, heart, and vision: Tapestry Venture.Founding Partners Patrick Murphy, Audrey Miller, David Kelly, and Alex McKenzie were celebrated for their relentless effort to build something new—not just for themselves, but for founders and LPs across the continent.Not Just Another Fund. Not Just Another Story.Tapestry isn't simply adding capital to the market. They're challenging the established players in Luxembourg's fund admin industry, pushing through barriers that often make it hard for emerging managers to break in.Patrick Murphy took the stage to accept the award, on behalf of his partners:“It's amazing to be able to work with people I like so much every day for the last five years. At least now we're all back in person—because it wasn't so fun on Zoom.”From Ireland to VenturePatrick's journey into venture wasn't planned.“I grew up in Ireland building computers and websites. I didn't know venture capital was even a thing—that people could believe in your dreams and then give you money to do something about them. It's pretty wild. I'm glad venture found me.”That spirit—of discovery, belief, and persistence—is what defines Tapestry.In Service to FoundersIf there was one theme in Patrick's words, it was service.“To be in venture is to be in service,” he said. “There's no exam, no syllabus, no license for board members—though I wish there was. There's no ombudsman, no complaint line for founders. So it's up to us to raise our own standards. To be in service to the great founders who want to change Europe and change the world.”That vision is backed by their LPs and by a belief that the ecosystem thrives not through competition alone, but through collaboration—co-investors and friends lifting each other up.Leadership That Raises the BarFor Tapestry Venture, winning Emerging Manager of the Year is less about the trophy and more about the mandate:To challenge entrenched structuresTo empower founders head-onTo raise the standards of venture itselfCongratulations to Patrick Murphy, Audrey Miller, David Kelly, and Alex McKenzie of Tapestry Venture—Emerging Manager of the Year.Because in their words: “We're all winners in this ecosystem. And we're going to be here for a long time.”

En 1993, la juge liégeoise Véronique Ancia, déjà en charge de l'affaire Cools, découvre un vaste système de corruption lié à l'achat de 46 hélicoptères Agusta par la Défense belge. Trois figures socialistes – Guy Coëme, Guy Spitaels et Guy Mathot – sont rapidement éclaboussées : on les accuse de faux en écriture et de financements occultes. L'enquête révèle que des pots-de-vin massifs ont été versés via des sociétés-écrans au Parti Socialiste francophone et au SP flamand. La tempête politique entraîne plusieurs démissions retentissantes, notamment de Coëme, Spitaels et plus tard Willy Claes, alors secrétaire général de l'Otan. Les soupçons s'élargissent au marché Dassault pour la modernisation des F-16, avec d'autres commissions cachées et comptes au Luxembourg. En 1998, la Cour de cassation juge 12 prévenus, dont Claes, Coëme, Spitaels et Serge Dassault lui-même. Les condamnations sont lourdes : peines de prison avec sursis, amendes, et inéligibilité politique. Les montants détournés dépassent 170 millions de francs belges, dont 111 pour le SP et 49 pour le PS. Le procès secoue durablement la classe politique et alimente la méfiance envers les partis traditionnels. Encore aujourd'hui, l'affaire Agusta-Dassault reste l'un des plus grands scandales politico-financiers de Belgique.

Plusieurs débats au cœur de l'actualité, les Grandes gueules ont le choix, en débattre ou non : Les préfets ont pour consigne d'appeler les maires pour leur demander de ne pas pavoiser le drapeau palestinien lundi Le couple présidentiel va prouver que madame Macron est une femme Pierre Moscovici rejoint la cour des comptes européenne au Luxembourg

La France envisage d'empêcher certaines sociétés de cryptomonnaies d'opérer sur son sol. À moins que leur supervision soit confiée au régulateur européen des marchés financiers. Le gendarme boursier français craint que ces plateformes ne cherchent un pays membre qui leur accorderait une autorisation plus facilement que les autres pour opérer en Europe. Une inquiétude basée sur les différences de position entre différents États-membres. Certains pays membres de l'UE sont pointés du doigt pour la facilité supposée avec laquelle ils octroient des licences. L'inquiétude du gendarme français est d'ailleurs partagée par les régulateurs autrichien et italien. Dans un document conjoint, ils attirent l'attention des législateurs européens sur les différences qui existent dans la manière dont les marchés des cryptomonnaies sont supervisées par les autorités nationales de chaque pays au sein de l'UE. Le règlement européen MiCA Les marchés des cryptomonnaies en Europe sont soumis à un règlement européen. Depuis son entrée en vigueur le 30 décembre 2024, ce règlement appelé MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) permet aux entreprises du secteur de solliciter une licence auprès des États-membres de l'UE. Une sorte de « passeport européen » qui leur permet d'opérer sur tout le territoire européen. Cinquante-huit licences ont été attribuées à ce jour à ces prestataires des services, délivrées notamment par l'Allemagne, les Pays-Bas, l'Irlande ou encore le Luxembourg. Malte en a accordé six. Un problème dans l'attribution des licences Le doute existe quant aux méthodes d'évaluation utilisées par Malte. Le régulateur financier maltais a fait l'objet d'un examen. Le gendarme boursier européen Esma a découvert que Malte n'avait pas suffisamment évalué les cyber risques de la part de certaines plateformes. Ce qui doit être scruté, c'est notamment : le cadre réglementaire auquel la plateforme en question est soumise, si son siège se situe dans des juridictions reconnues, comme l'UE ou les États-Unis ou pas. Le régulateur est particulièrement attentif au niveau de garantie offert aux investisseurs. Certaines plateformes opèrent déjà en Europe Il y a des géants américains, comme Kraken, Coinbase, Gemini ou Crypto.com, mais aussi de plus petits, comme Okayeg. Étendre leur activité sur l'Europe est un enjeu de taille : le marché des crypto actifs pèse aujourd'hui plusieurs milliers de milliards de dollars dans le monde. L'Europe veut en profiter, mais non pas à n'importe quel prix. La France, l'Autriche et l'Italie réclament plus de pouvoirs à l'Esma, régulateur européen pour superviser la délivrance des licences au niveau de l'UE. Une sorte de MiCA 2, selon Bertrand Godin, co-fondateur de Fipto, entreprise de facilitation de paiements internationaux des entreprises par crypto. Cela permettrait, selon lui, de mieux protéger les investisseurs européens. À lire aussiMiCA, ce que va changer avec l'entrée en vigueur du règlement européen des crypto-actifs

How media helps to shape the conversation around innovation and social good to create global impact. This week my guests are: - Pierre-Yves Lanneau Saint Léger, CEO of Forbes Luxembourg and Silicon Luxembourg - Jess Bauldry, Editor-in-Chief of Forbes Luxembourg - Genna Elvin, co-founder of Tadaweb and President of Pulse, Luxembourg's largest startup association. - Anne Goeres, founder of Philantree Why Forbes Came to Luxembourg For Pierre-Yves Lanneau Saint Léger, the arrival of Forbes in Luxembourg was a recognition that our success stories deserve a global stage. Forbes embodies the values of celebrating entrepreneurship and Luxembourg is now part of the global Forbes family (49 editions). Pierre-Yves also highlights the continuing importance of Silicon Luxembourg, launched 13 years ago as a blog and now a vibrant community of 40,000 followers. “If you create your startup, you are in Silicon; when you sell your startup, you are in Forbes,” he quipped, neatly capturing the lifecycle of highly successful entrepreneurship. Storytelling and Connection Jess Bauldry knows that in Luxembourg, connections and jobs are often fostered through in-person engagement, especially in the startup sector. “So many business deals and jobs here are still made through face-to-face encounters, not just applications.” Storytelling is business necessity. Nonetheless, Jess and her team at Forbes and Silicon Luxembourg are highly attuned to spotlighting innovators who may not be the loudest in the room but are making transformative contributions without the self-promotion. She feels it is their job to shine a spotlight on people like this, rather than the ‘same faces' constantly. Building a Startup Nation Genna Elvin has become the pin-up girl for entrepreneurial tech success in Luxembourg. From modest beginnings in Brussels to developing Tadaweb in Luxembourg, the team has grown from nothing to 150 employees, raised €40 million in capital and expanded internationally with offices in Luxembourg, Paris, London and the United States. Recognised as one of Forbes' Top 100 Female Founders in Europe, Genna now also leads Pulse, Luxembourg's largest startup association. Elvin recalled being told a decade ago that Luxembourg could never attract top talent. “That's not true,” she insisted. Instead, her company recruit globally, offering newcomers an instant community and support system. From an in-person welcome to apartments on arrival, to thoughtful gestures like helping employees navigate supermarkets,  Tadaweb put people first. “At a human level, you need to get the base right if you want to execute at a high level,” she said, referencing Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Her perspective also touched on Luxembourg's risk-averse culture, often cited as a barrier to innovation. While family-run businesses might make caution understandable, Genna knows that progress requires calculated risks. Philanthropy: Love for humanity Anne Goeres, who previously ran Luxembourg's children's cancer foundation, has now founded Philantree, an organisation designed to help businesses and families channel their wealth into meaningful impact. Goerges explained that while terms like charity, foundation or non-profit differ in structure, their essence is the same: love of humanity. “It always starts with a group of people committed to a cause,” she said, noting that even the largest organisations begin with small acts of compassion. Today, she sees a shift toward long-term partnerships rather than one-off donations. “Companies want to integrate philanthropy into their culture, aligning their values with those of their employees,” she said. This approach not only deepens impact but also helps unite generations around shared purpose. ESG: Beyond Box-Ticking Of course, philanthropy and sustainability are not immune to scepticism. Regulations can sometimes feel bureaucratic, and companies risk treating ESG commitments as box-ticking exercises. Yet Pierre-Yves and Bauldry agree that in today's job market, values-driven business is non-negotiable. Millennials and Gen Z want purposeful careers. Without them, companies will lose talent, and no amount of AI can replace that. That is why Forbes Luxembourg continues to highlight stories that blend profit with purpose. From entrepreneurs innovating in health and space tech to executives shaping green finance, the magazine seeks to showcase leaders who both earn and spend wisely, with an eye toward long-term wellbeing. The Future: Voices That Matter As Luxembourg prepares to unveil its Forbes Under 30 list, the challenge is not just to identify the loudest voices but to find and elevate those who deliver true, lasting impact. There is still time to apply or nominate someone! “Some founders don't have time for self-promotion,” Bauldry admitted. “Our job is to find them, investigate, and shine a light on their work.” This inclusive approach reflects the broader Luxembourg ecosystem: diverse, international, ambitious, yet grounded in a sense of community. https://philantree.lu/ https://www.tadaweb.com/ https://www.gennaelvin.com/ https://www.forbes.lu/ https://www.siliconluxembourg.lu/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/pylsl/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/jess-bauldry/?originalSubdomain=lu https://www.forbes.lu/under-30/

In this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I had the pleasure of talking with Ray Herndon, a musician whose story stretches from Scottsdale's legendary Handlebar J to the road with Lyle Lovett and the harmonies of McBride & The Ride.Ray and I start by digging into his family's club, Handlebar J, which has been a Scottsdale institution for 50 years. We talk about the balance of being both a musician and a restaurant owner, and what it means to carry on the legacy of a place that has hosted countless nights of music.From there, our conversation winds through his other passions, like competitive poker, and the surprising similarities he finds between playing cards and improvising on the guitar. Ray also reflects on his lifelong love of learning, including his in-depth exploration of Barry Harris's concepts, his admiration for Pat Martino, and what he learned from lessons with greats like Joe Pass and Ted Greene.We spend time swapping stories about the incredible steel guitar community, remembering players like Buck Reid, Paul Franklin, Gary Morse, Bruce Bouton, Joe Rogers, and Johnny Cox. And of course, we trace Ray's path from nights at Mr. Lucky's with J. David Sloan and the Rogues, to that fateful Luxembourg trip where his band first connected with Lyle Lovett, and how those relationships eventually led to McBride & The Ride.Ray also discusses finding his own voice as a singer and songwriter, including the enduring impact of “Me and You,” a song that has remained a staple in weddings and playlists worldwide. We close by talking about what it's like to reunite with McBride & The Ride these days and how the music has only gotten better, the pressure is gone, and the laughter comes easy, as well as his recent work with Don McLean's band.It was such a joy to hear Ray reflect on the twists and turns of his career, the people who shaped it, and the music that continues to inspire him.Music from the Episode:Amarillo Sky (McBride & the Ride)Lovin' Her Was Easier (Ray Herndon)Me and You (Ray Herndon)Thank you for listening!

The software sector is evolving fast—and not always in ways investors expect. From the rise of AI-native startups to the shifting economics of SaaS, the rules of the game are being rewritten. In this episode, Sean Kenney sits down with MFS software analyst Matt Doherty to unpack what really drives long-term winners in software. They explore how to think about moats in a world of falling barriers to entry, why valuation is more art than science in this sector, and how AI is both a disruptor and an accelerant. Whether you're wondering if SaaS is dead or just trying to make sense of the next wave of innovation, this conversation will help you cut through the noise and invest with clarity.   The views expressed are those of the speaker and are subject to change at any time.

This week on the PerformHappy Podcast, I had the privilege of chatting with international elite gymnast Céleste Mordenti, the first gymnast from Luxembourg to ever win a FIG World Cup medal.Céleste's journey hasn't been an easy one. As a young gymnast, she rose quickly through the ranks, representing Luxembourg at European and World Championships. But behind the medals and the spotlight, she battled the same struggles so many gymnasts face — fear, mental blocks, and the pressure to be perfect. At one point, she couldn't even bring herself to swing giants, a skill she'd done for years.In this episode, Céleste opens up about what it really takes to build lasting confidence. She shares how changing environments, learning to step back, and redefining progress helped her shift from panic and frustration to a place of trust in herself and joy in her sport again.What makes her story so powerful is that she proves confidence isn't something you're born with — it's something you can build, no matter how stuck or scared you feel.Whether you're a gymnast, parent, or coach, you'll find inspiration and practical takeaways in Céleste's story — from normalizing fear to celebrating small steps, and ultimately learning that setbacks are just part of the path to success.In this episode, Coach Rebecca and Céleste talk about:Competing on the international stage as a teenWhat it feels like to get stuck in the cycle of fear and mental blocksHow supportive coaching can completely shift an athlete's confidenceWhy taking a step back is actually the fastest way forward"Taking a step back isn't leaving the path to success — it is the path to success." – Céleste MordentiFollow Céleste on Instagram: @celestemordentiLearn exactly what to say and do to guide your athlete through a mental block with my new book "Parenting Through Mental Blocks" Order your copy today: https://a.co/d/g990BurFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/complete_performance/ Join my FaceBook page: https://www.facebook.com/completeperformancecoaching/ Check out my website: https://completeperformancecoaching.com/Write to me!
