What happens when you're pinned underwater, running out of oxygen, and suddenly realize... this is how people die?In this episode of The Erik Cabral Show, Erik sits down with Bo Parfet–adventure entrepreneur, mountain climber, and faith warrior who's restored sight to over 50,000 people worldwide. They dive deep into his childhood struggles with dyslexia and a speech impediment, the near-death canoe accident in Belize that gave him unshakeable faith, and how a vision on top of Mount Chimborazo led to a mission bigger than any summit.They talk about what it means to stop making a living and start making a life, why marketplace ministries are revolutionizing faith-driven business, and how prayer before meetings gets the ego out of the room immediately.This one's packed with wisdom for anyone ready to chase lions instead of settling for comfortable Christianity.Episode Chapters:0:00 Intro and childhood struggles with dyslexia 5:30 The Belize canoe accident that changed everything12:45 Foundation of unshakeable faith 18:20 Merging faith and work at DLP 25:10 Marketplace ministries revelation 32:40 Vision for sight restoration on Mount Chimborazo 40:15 Recognizing God's voice vs. your own thoughts 48:30 Obedience in entrepreneurship 55:20 Taking control of your information diet 1:02:15 Leading with love, humility, and kindness

In this episode of the Wharton Fintech podcast, Djavaneh sits down with Robbie Figueroa, co-founder and former COO of Maza, now Chief Business Officer at Flex following Maza and Flex's merger in late 2024. Robbie shares how growing up in Queens with immigrant parents from Brazil and Ecuador inspired him to tackle financial exclusion. What started as a Spanish-first neobank for underbanked consumers evolved into a platform tailored to solopreneurs operating in the informal economy. From onboarding thousands of users to building ITIN application tools and automating entity formation, Maza met customers where they were, and grew alongside them. We discuss: How Maza identified and served Spanish-speaking solopreneurs Why distribution often beats product innovation in fintech The strategic fit between Maza and Flex and what's next Robbie also shares hard-won advice for early-stage founders and reflects on what it takes to build products that truly resonate with underserved users. Whether you're passionate about inclusive fintech, curious about startup pivots, or exploring founder-to-operator transitions, this episode is full of insight.

Instead of fighting over numbers, teams walk through SQL together, clean up logic, and move faster. One customer dropped their bill from $500K to $1K just by switching to seat-based pricing. István shares how AI helps, but only if you still understand the data underneath. This conversation shows what happens when marketing, product, and data finally work off the same source without second-guessing every report.About IstvánIstvan is the Founder and CEO of Mitzu.io, a warehouse-native product analytics platform built for modern data stacks like Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift, Athena, Postgres, Clickhouse, and Trino. Before launching Mitzu.io in 2023, he spent over a decade leading high-scale data engineering efforts at companies like Shapr3D and Skyscanner. At Shapr3D, he defined the long-term data strategy and built self-serve analytics infrastructure. At Skyscanner, he progressed from building backend systems serving millions of users to leading data engineering and analytics teams. Earlier in his career, he developed real-time diagnostic and control systems for the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. How Warehouse Native Analytics WorksMarketing tools like Mixpanel, Amplitude, and GA4 create their own versions of your customer. Each one captures data slightly differently, labels users in its own format, and forces you to guess how their identity stitching works. The warehouse-native model removes this overhead by putting all customer data into a central location before anything else happens. That means your data warehouse becomes the only source of truth, not just another system to reconcile.István explained the difference in blunt terms. “The data you're using is owned by you,” he said. That includes behavioral events, transactional logs, support tickets, email interactions, and product usage data. When everything lands in one place first (BigQuery, Redshift, Snowflake, Databricks) you get to define the logic. No more retrofitting vendor tools to work with messy exports or waiting for their UI to catch up with your question.In smaller teams, especially B2C startups, the benefits hit early. Without a shared warehouse, you get five tools trying to guess what an active user means. With a warehouse-native setup, you define that metric once and reuse it everywhere. You can query it in SQL, schedule your campaigns off it, and sync it with downstream tools like Customer.io or Braze. That way you can work faster, align across functions, and stop arguing about whose numbers are right.“You do most of the work in the warehouse for all the things you want to do in marketing,” István said. “That includes measurement, attribution, segmentation, everything starts from that central point.”Centralizing your stack also changes how your data team operates. Instead of reacting to reporting issues or chasing down inconsistent UTM strings, they build shared models the whole org can trust. Marketing ops gets reliable metrics, product teams get context, and leadership gets reports that actually match what customers are doing. Nobody wins when your attribution logic lives in a fragile dashboard that breaks every other week.Key takeaway: Warehouse native analytics gives you full control over customer data by letting you define core metrics once in your warehouse and reuse them everywhere else. That way you can avoid double-counting, reduce tool drift, and build a stable foundation that aligns marketing, product, and data teams. Store first, define once, activate wherever you want.BI vs Analytics vs Measurement vs AttributionBusiness intelligence means static dashboards. Not flexible. Not exploratory. Just there, like laminated truth. István described it as the place where the data expert's word becomes law. The dashboards are already built, the metrics are already defined, and any changes require a help ticket. BI exists to make sure everyone sees the same numbers, even if nobody knows exactly how they were calculated.Analytics lives one level below that, and it behaves very differently. It is messy, curious, and closer to the raw data. Analytics splits into two tracks: the version done by data professionals who build robust models with SQL and dbt, and the version done by non-technical teams poking around in self-serve tools. Those non-technical users rarely want to define warehouse logic from scratch. They want fast answers from big datasets without calling in reinforcements.“We used to call what we did self-service BI, because the word analytics didn't resonate,” István said. “But everyone was using it for product and marketing analytics. So we changed the copy.”The difference between analytics and BI has nothing to do with what the tool looks like. It has everything to do with who gets to use it and how. If only one person controls the dashboard, that is BI. If your whole team can dig into campaign performance, break down cohorts, and explore feature usage trends without waiting for data engineering, that is analytics. Attribution, ML, and forecasting live on top of both layers. They depend on the raw data underneath, and they are only useful if the definitions below them hold up.Language often lags behind how tools are actually used. István saw this firsthand. The product stayed the same, but the positioning changed. People used Mitzu for product analytics and marketing performance, so that became the headline. Not because it was a trend, but because that is what users were doing anyway.Key takeaway: BI centralizes truth through fixed dashboards, while analytics creates motion by giving more people access to raw data. When teams treat BI as the source of agreement and analytics as the source of discovery, they stop fighting over metrics and start asking better questions. That way you can maintain trusted dashboards for executive reporting and still empower teams to explore data without filing tickets or waiting days for answers.Merging Web and Product Analytics With a Zero-Copy ArchitectureMost teams trying to replace GA4 end up layering more tools onto the same mess. They drop in Amplitude or Mixpanel for product analytics, keep something else for marketing attribution, and sync everything into a CDP that now needs babysitting. Eventually, they start building one-off pipelines just to feed the same events into six different systems, all chasing slightly different answers to the same question.István sees this fragmentation as a byproduct of treating product and marketing analytics as separate functions.

Aengus Cox, Agriculture Correspondent, reports on new proposals from the European Commission which looks set to propose the merging Common Agriculture Policy funding into a single fund. Francie Gorman, President of the Irish Farmers' Association, assesses the new proposals.

Physicist and fusion researcher Eric Lerner presents a sweeping critique of the Big Bang theory and the standard model of cosmology at Demysticon 25. He builds on the foundations of plasma physics and the work of Nobel laureate Hannes Alfvén to outline an alternative cosmological framework rooted in known physical laws—gravity, nuclear fusion, and electromagnetic plasma behavior—rather than hypothetical concepts like dark matter, dark energy, or cosmic inflation. He explores how filamentary plasma structures may account for galaxy formation, how fusion research using dense plasma focus devices parallels cosmic processes, and how the cosmic microwave background may not be relic radiation from a singular origin. Merging astrophysics, plasma cosmology, and energy research, this talk reframes the origin and structure of the universe—and calls into question the prevailing narratives at the heart of modern theoretical physics.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go!

The Clare branch of the Irish Farmers Association believes any reduction in agriculture funding at EU level would be devastating for Clare. It comes as the European Commission is to propose merging Common Agricultural Policy funding with other funds from the start of its next budgetary cycle in 2028. CAP is believed to be worth €96 million to Clare annually. Feakle farmer and Chairperson of the Clare branch of the IFA Stephen Walsh says given the climbing age profile of farmers here, funding needs to be increased rather than slashed.

Len reflects on his early exposure to development, his unconventional career path, and the lessons learned from leading through multiple business cycles.

Ruth (SX/SO 9w1 973) joins us for a luminous and radical exploration of the Sexual 9's longing for union — with God, with others, and, ultimately, with herself. From an early age, Ruth's life was shaped by profound mystical experiences: claiming Jesus at three, and at nine, encountering a vision of him entering her body — not metaphorically, but viscerally, as a wave of physical love. These moments left an imprint, becoming the compass by which she navigated the world — always reaching for a love that could hold her entire being. We explore how this early spiritual intensity tethered her to external sources of nourishment — church, relationships, ideals — while a deeper hunger for selfhood remained dormant, waiting to be reclaimed. Her story takes a sharp turn in her late 30s, when a “rude awakening” forced her to prioritize self-care and embodiment. What unfolds is a quiet revolution: the shift from merging to individuation, from numbing to sensation, from floating in spirit to landing in body.

Have you ever noticed how many times you have to merge as you drive? How about in your relationships? When you move into a new neighborhood. When you take a new job. When you marry. When you have kids. When you “blend” your family with another family. This message will look at those transitional times and how to navigate them without crashing into each other and creating relational crises.

During Ep. 25 of the Ask the Law Firm Seller Show, Jeremy E. Poock, Esq. addresses the following question: Why should Senior Attorney-led Firms consider selling or merging with a Growing Law Firm in the Mid-2020s?   As Poock explains, those Senior Attorneys who built their Books of Business during the pre-Google Word-of-Mouth Era will not originate as many clients as yester-year because today's (and tomorrow's) clients continue searching for lawyers and law firms via “Uncle Google,” America's greatest referral source and rainmaker for law firms in today's Digital Era for the legal industry.   As Poock states, “[B]usiness development for law firms fundamentally changed post-2020. And, the reason why is because of a shift in consumer behavior . . . They are going straight to Google . . . And, for those law firms that are investing in multi-channel digital marketing, they're attracting more clients than those than those . . . Senior Attorney-led firms that are maintaining a website only, Word-of-Mouth type approach.”   As Poock also explains, “[I]f your firm is generating less clients in the post-2020 era because you're not investing in digital marketing to attract new clients, and if you're seeing that your firm is not generating as many clients as you did in the pre-Google Word-of-Mouth era, then now is the right time to sell.”   This episode also explains that Growing Law Firms want and need the following 3 resources that Senior Attorney-led firms offer:   (1) New clients from a Senior Attorney-led firm's Book of Business.   (2) Key employee lawyers and para-staff; and   (3) Treasure chests of subject matter knowledge to convert into digital content to attract the attention of today's (and tomorrow's) clients who search for lawyer and law firms online.   In addition, Poock debunks the following 3 fears that many Senior Attorneys express about selling or merging with a Growing Law Firm:   (1) Fear of having a Boss   (2) Fear of losing control by no longer managing “the office”   (3) Fear of loss of identity by transitioning from owning a law firm to joining a Growing Law Firm   And, the episode concludes with the following overview of typical payment terms by Growing Law Firms when acquiring Senior Attorney-led firms:   “What we're seeing, and what we call Law Firm Sales 1.0, is that when you are transitioning your Book of Business (your clients and your referral sources) to the lawyers at Growing Law Firms . . . that the consideration is structured as an earnout, that is, that you're being paid a percentage of the revenues that is derived from your Book of Business, paid over a negotiated period of time, which often happens during your retirement years. Hence, you're able to monetize, annuitize that all important Book of Business that you've worked so hard over the course of your career to develop.”

"Téged valami bánt."En: "What's wrong, Bence?" she asked gently. "Something's bothering you."Hu: Bence mély levegőt vett.En: Bence took a deep breath.Hu: "Nehéz dolgot kérsz tőlem, Katalin.En: "You're asking a hard thing from me, Katalin.Hu: Apát és téged sem akarok cserben hagyni, de a filmezés... az számomra minden.En: I don't want to let down Dad and you, but filmmaking... it's everything to me.Hu: Most van egy nagy esélyem."En: I have a great chance right now."Hu: Áron ekkor lépett elő a szőlősorok árnyékából.En: Áron then stepped out of the shadows among the grape rows.Hu: "Mi mindent megértünk, fiam," mondta rekedtes hangon.En: "We understand everything, my son," he said in a hoarse voice.Hu: "De azt is tudnod kell, hogy örülök, ha boldog vagy."En: "But you should also know that I'm happy if you're happy."Hu: Ahogy a nap lassan eltűnt a dombok mögött, a három ember a szőlőtőkék között állt, a naplemente arany színnel festette meg őket.En: As the sun slowly disappeared behind the hills, the three stood among the vines, the sunset painting them in golden hues.Hu: Csend támadt, de ebben a csendben Bence döntésre jutott.En: Silence fell, but in this silence, Bence came to a decision.Hu: Meg akarta tartani a szőlőt és használni is akarta, hogy megvalósítsa álmait.En: He wanted to keep the vineyard and use it to achieve his dreams.Hu: "Mi lenne, ha a filmezést a szőlőnkkel kombinálnám?" kérdezte végül.En: "What if I combined filmmaking with our vineyard?" he finally asked.Hu: "Készíthetnék egy filmet Etyekről, a szőlőnkről, a családunk történetéről.En: "I could make a film about Etyek, about our vineyard, about our family's story.Hu: Ez híd lehetne a két világ között."En: This could be a bridge between the two worlds."Hu: Katalin és Áron elmosolyodtak.En: Katalin and Áron smiled.Hu: "Ez egy remek ötlet," válaszolta Katalin.En: "That's a great idea," replied Katalin.Hu: "Így nemcsak a birtok marad a családban, hanem új életet is adsz neki."En: "Not only will the estate stay in the family, but you'll also give it new life."Hu: Bence szíve megkönnyebbült.En: Bence's heart felt lighter.Hu: Végre nem választania kellett, hanem alkotnia.En: He finally didn't have to choose; he could create.Hu: Ebben a pillanatban a szőlőskert többé nem korlátozás volt számára, hanem egy új kezdet.En: At that moment, the vineyard was no longer a limitation for him, but a new beginning.Hu: A nap utolsó sugarai táncot jártak a szőlőleveleken, és Bence tudta, hogy megtalálta a saját útját, amely szorosan összekapcsolódik a családéval.En: The last rays of the sun danced on the grape leaves, and Bence knew he had found his path, closely intertwined with the family's.

Join us for a mind-bending conversation with the co-authors of The Illustrated Field Guide to DMT Entities, David Jay Brown and Sara Phinn Huntley. Are these beings interdimensional ambassadors, cosmic deceivers, or mere hallucinations?

On this episode, host Pete Moore reconnects with Jaja Jackson, a longtime friend and fellow Harvard Business School alum, for a deep dive into the intersection of real estate, hospitality, and health. Jaja shares his path from developing homes and communities, to joining Airbnb in its pivotal years, where he helped bridge the gap between multifamily housing and the (then) cutting-edge world of home sharing. Now a leader at Iconic Capital, Jackson discusses how his team has reimagined multifamily properties to boost net operating income and create vibrant, HALO-focused communities. (Health, Active Lifestyle, Outdoors.) Pete and Jaja explore how many lessons from hospitality and flexible living can--and probably should--carry over into the health club industry—emphasizing the importance of relationship-building, curated experiences, and bringing on top-tier talent. They discuss the role of loneliness in today's health crisis and offer actionable ideas for club operators, from employing inspiring staff to forming innovative partnerships with residential buildings. Jackson provides solid suggestions and practical takeaways from outside the industry that any club operator would do well to take seriously. Listen now for this fresh perspective on elevating the HALO sector. On increasing the yield in multifamily without major renovations, Jackson states, "All you're doing is changing the operator and in some cases investing in furnishings to extend the value and the operation of your amenities in common spaces . . . that translates into an unlevered yield increase of between 1 and 5 or 6%. And it's tremendous!" Key themes discussed Evolution of Airbnb and real estate partnerships. Creating flexible living asset classes for higher returns. Overcoming resistance and building trust in hospitality innovation. Strategies to enhance resident and member experiences. Importance of health, wellness, and community in living spaces. Leveraging talent (athletes, trainers) for cultural impact. Addressing loneliness and building genuine connections. A few key takeaways:  1. Transforming Multifamily Real Estate Through Flexible Living: Jaja shared his experience moving from "traditional" real estate development to pioneering “flexible living” while at Airbnb and now at Iconic Capital. By blending hospitality concepts with class A multifamily buildings, he helped create new asset value and returns, boosting net operating income by 15–40% without expensive renovations. 2. The Power of Trust and Experience in Merging Hospitality & Real Estate: Initially, the biggest hurdles were skepticism and trust issues from large apartment owners about the idea of short-term rentals. Jaja and his team addressed this by building software and policies ensuring resident safety and a trusted experience, paving the way for programs like Airbnb's Friendly Buildings. 3. Culture and Personalization Are Game Changers in Health and Fitness: Drawing parallels to the health club space, Jaja highlights that the sector is overdue for a hospitality-like approach—moving beyond transactional relationships to foster real community and deep personalization. He suggests health clubs can learn from hospitality by knowing members' needs, supporting their goals, and making every interaction memorable. 4. Building Community and Combating Loneliness: Both in multifamily living and health clubs, facilitating real connections is crucial. Jaja's approach includes encouraging residents to meet each other through fitness amenities and group activities, even integrating professional athletes as resident “ambassadors” to inspire and engage. He strongly believes in addressing not just physical health, but also combating loneliness and building social connections as a core part of wellness. 5. Talent and Ownership Mindset Are Critical: Whether in property management or fitness clubs, success hinges on having the right people—those who think like owners, have charisma, and are invested for the long term. Jaja and Pete both emphasize the importance of intentional hiring (“pay for talent”) and instilling commitment, suggesting businesses treat employee recruitment and culture-building as vital investments, not afterthoughts. The statements by Jaja are not investment advice and do not represent ICONIQ Capital or Airbnb.

Alyssa Goldwater is a wife, mom and the Digital Influencer behind the lifestyle brand, A Glass of Goldwater (@alyssagoldwater).

By having hard conversations about difficult topics such as mental health, the dangers of diet culture, and the unspoken struggles of motherhood, Alyssa not only keeps people laughing with her sarcastic take on life, but also helps women feel part of something bigger - that they aren't alone in this crazy world. Chanie Kamman is a mother of seven young children who is passionate about raising kids with respect, emotional wellness, and joyful Judaism.

In Episode 376, Alex and Theo Gribaudi-Plytas talk about: Their location in rural France, at the southern end of the Champagne region, where there are tons of vineyards, many of which they take friends from out of town to, and how even in their minimally populated area they see plenty of income inequality; how they met while living in London's version of dorms for art students, even though they were going to art schools that weren't at all near each other, and how they evolved from friends to romantic partners to romantic partners who make art collaboratively; Theo's art school professor, Leigh Clarke, who looked through the class's sketchbooks, and if they didn't past muster he'd throw them in the trash (it was symbolic); how they organically evolved into making art together as a pair, and what the advantages (and occasionally disadvantages) are, including the energy from vibing off each other's ideas,  and how one can inspire the other and v.versa; how their life is their art, particularly with the evolution of their home/home studio and garden, all together as a piece. In the BONUS Full Episode, available to Patreon supporters of The Conversation, Alex and Theo discuss: Their perpetual moving in and moving out of studios in London, each after just a year or two, because they got priced out or the situation was unsustainable, and how they're translating the various functioning areas of those fleeting studio spaces to this permanent one, which is still very much a work-in-progress after three years (it's a former school house built in 1879 and a house next door); their 24-hour work/artmaking sensibility, which they make sound quite appealing, a world in which breakfast can be art, or they can be working on art-related sewing while watching a film; why they left the city for the country, even when they had such a wonderful time during art school and beyond in London; the details of their property, including the view into the forest, where hunting takes place (and which we discuss); their complex relationship using Instagram (they don't like to but need to); Theo's sister, Sarah Rosenzweig, who they both admire for getting off of Meta platforms despite living in the mountains in the south of France (she sends out calendars and advocates for progressive political causes).

National Shooting Sports Foundation senior vice president and general counsel Larry Keane tells Cam the organization is strongly opposed to the idea of merging ATF and DEA into a single agency, arguing that the firearms industry and gun owners would be better off with structural reforms to the ATF instead.

Our guests are Rahul Saito and Mitsu Nagae.  Rahul is the owner and Mitsu is the co-owner and executive chef at l'abeille https://www.labeille.nyc and l'abeille à côté https://www.labeilleacote.nyc/ in Tribeca, New York. The duo opened l'abeille in March 2022 and shortly after, they won a Michelin star, thanks to Mitsu's unique and outstanding culinary background as a Japanese chef classically trained in Paris, Tokyo and New York as well as Rahul's sound management despite being new to the industry. Mitsu's menus are characterized by a seamless merge of French and Japanese cuisines, which seems to have become a relevant genre in places like Paris and Japan as well. In this episode, we will discuss how Mitsu got into French cuisine from a young age in Japan and eventually trained under top chefs like the late Joel Robuchon, why the seemingly opposite French and Japanese cuisines can go so well together as you can see in Mitsu's menus, the keys to run successful restaurants in New York and much, much more!!!

The city announced late last year it would combine its shelter systems for newly arrived migrants and people experiencing homelessness. In Hyde Park, the process of turning a temporary shelter into a permanent one has sparked debate. Hyde Park Herald's Zoe Pharo and South Side Weekly's Jackie Serrato have been following the pushback and talking to shelter residents. They talk with host Jacoby Cochran about what they observed and how the city is handling new arrivals nearly three years after buses began showing up. Want some more City Cast Chicago news?
