Dani Richa is the Chairman and Group CEO of Impact BBDO, the famed ad agency that partly inspired Matt Weiner's classic show Mad Men. Dani joins Diane Brady and Kristin Stoller On Leadership Next to talk about the night he spent watching ads from all over the world, his favorite campaigns, the project he killed, and advertising successfully in MENA. Of course, it wouldn't be a 2025 conversation without talking about AI and Dani dives in to discuss why ignoring AI tools would be a “missed opportunity,” while still believing that only humans “can do what's never been done before.”

Send us a textIn this episode, Stuart and Mena unpack the five lessons that kept surfacing across 500+ founder interviews from The School of Hard Knocks, and translate them into actions for ambitious owners. First: persistence beats genius. Treat growth like a “game of doubles,” stacking small wins and showing up long after motivation fades. Second: reframe failure and take calculated risks; each “no” is a step closer to “yes,” provided you protect the downside and live to learn. Third: invest for freedom, not flash. Prioritise asset-building (real estate, equity, quality yield) over liabilities, use sensible leverage, and let compounding do the heavy lifting. Fourth: your circle sets your ceiling. Curate mentors and peers who compress your learning curve, explore joint ventures to scale, and stay generous because opportunity flows through trust. Fifth: mindset and meaning drive endurance. Align goals with values, optimise for time and energy, and build a business you actually want to run. Along the way, they share tactical plays, house-hack style sequencing, risk filters, weekly metric focus, and a simple “next best move” checklist to help you convert inspiration into outcomes. Different industries, same themes: the winners are consistent, coachable, owner-minded, and obsessed with building assets and relationships that outlast any single deal.If this episode resonated with you, please leave a rating on your favourite podcast platform.

In this X Space hosted by Isaiah Austin (Bitcoin Magazine) with Hunter Albright (SALT) and Maurizio Pedrazzoli Grazioli (Mr. M Podcast Host) explore why the MENA region—especially the UAE—is rapidly emerging as one of the world's most forward-leaning hubs for bitcoin adoption. From a young, globally diverse population to strong cross-border financial needs and a deep cultural understanding of hard assets like gold, MENA offers a unique environment for bitcoin to thrive. They break down the region's regulatory clarity, real-world use cases, rising institutional interest, and how both individuals and corporations are using BTC as a tool for savings, remittances, lending, and long-term wealth preservation. As sovereign wealth funds, entrepreneurs, and everyday users push innovation forward, the region is shaping what a truly bitcoin-powered economy can look like.#Bitcoin #BTC #BitcoinAdoption #MENA #UAE #Dubai #AbuDhabi #CryptoRegulation #DigitalAssets #BitcoinLending #BitcoinInnovation #BitcoinEconomy #HardMoney #FinancialSovereignty #BitcoinMagazine

00:46 Martian ‘micro-lightning'The sounds of ‘micro-lightning' have been recorded by NASA's Perseverance rover, ending a long search for the phenomenon on Mars. A lack of suitable equipment has made it difficult to gather evidence of lightning on the red planet, but a team of researchers realized that a microphone on Perseverance should be able to pick up the characteristic sounds of electrical discharges. In total they found 55 such examples, along with signs of electrostatic interference indicative of the phenomenon. They dubbed the electric bursts ‘micro-lightning', as they are far smaller than the lighting seen on Earth, due to the thin Martian atmosphere. The team believe this finding could help better understand Martian chemistry and how best to design equipment to explore the planet's surface.Research Article: Chide et al.News and Views: Is there lightning on Mars?11:03 Research HighlightsHow the biology of male seahorses' brood pouches appears similar to mammalian pregnancy— plus, why Neanderthals' jaws were so beefy.Research Highlight: The origin of male seahorses' brood pouchResearch Highlight: Neanderthal DNA reveals how human faces form13:36 The key takeaways from COP30The UN's climate conference, COP30, came to a close last week in Brazil.

Buckle up, patriots—@intheMatrixxx and @shadygrooove charge into Season 7, Episode 225, "Turkey Pardon Day Gobble or Waddle?; Kash Patel Transparency Straight to the Point," unleashing razor-sharp analysis on President Trump's high-stakes Thanksgiving mercy mission, pardoning Gobble while Waddle vanishes in a nod to "slam dunk" justice ahead, all amid real-time reactions to administration wins like border security triumphs and D.C. crime drops, while dismantling deep-state deceptions. Relentless truth-seekers Jeff and Shannon expose FBI Director Kash Patel's unprecedented transparency on the Butler assassination attempt—confirming lone wolf Thomas Crooks with no foreign ties, backed by exhaustive device sweeps and interviews—rejecting conspiracy noise and psyop smears from controlled ops like Alex Jones and InfoWars, tied to CIA drug pipelines from Mena to Afghanistan and Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi's networks. They spotlight Trump's bold executive order labeling the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist outfit, cracking down on foreign influence, and call out 501c4 loopholes funneling dark money through Arabella Advisors, urging closure before 2026 midterms. With live intel breakdowns, proofs torching MSM distortions, and community fire against Flynn-Byrne-Powell psyops, they rally the remnant to unite under #TeamChrist, holding the line as InfoWars crumbles—"dead" to true patriots. The truth is learned, never told—the constitution is your weapon. Tune in at noon-0-five Eastern LIVE to stand with Trump!
