En este episodio de Maldormidas tenemos una conversación que sentimos muy cercana y necesaria. Nos sentamos con Ale Morrison, chef formada en Le Cordon Bleu de París, creadora de contenido y escritora venezolana, para hablar de todo lo que vivimos como mujeres, migrantes y profesionales que nos reinventamos una y otra vez.Hablamos de lo que muchas veces no se dice: la presión estética, el “pelo malo”, los rizos en Venezuela, la obsesión con la delgadez, el peso de sentirnos siempre insuficientes y la lucha contra los complejos que traemos desde la adolescencia. Compartimos cómo nos enseñaron a ver el cabello rizado como un defecto y cómo ahora existe un verdadero orgullo del rulo, con más productos, más visibilidad y un movimiento que cambia la narrativa.También nos adentramos en la tiranía del “chévere” en Venezuela, esa costumbre cultural de aparentar estar bien aunque por dentro no lo estemos. Nos preguntamos por qué siempre tenemos que decir que estamos de buen ánimo, y reflexionamos sobre lo que significa permitirnos sentir tristeza, cansancio o frustración. Sabemos que a veces la vulnerabilidad es la única forma de crecer.Por supuesto, tocamos la experiencia profesional de Ale. Nos cuenta cómo fue estudiar gastronomía en París, trabajar en caterings en Venezuela en plena crisis y enfrentar la escasez de ingredientes básicos como azúcar o leche. Aprendimos que hasta un postre clásico puede reinventarse con ingenio, y que la cocina en Venezuela se convirtió en un acto de resistencia. Además, nos habla del lado oscuro de la industria gastronómica: el machismo en las cocinas, la explotación laboral y la romantización del sacrificio.Luego nos lleva a otro punto vital: la crisis existencial a los 30 años. Ale comparte cómo, después de abrir restaurantes en España y vivir lo que parecía ser el “éxito”, descubrió que odiaba su vida como chef y decidió dar un giro radical. Nos reconocemos en esa historia porque sabemos que muchas veces nos definimos por una profesión, y cuando ya no nos llena, sentimos que todo se derrumba.De allí pasamos a las redes sociales y la creación de contenido. Ale nos cuenta cómo empezó subiendo recetas sin mucha visibilidad, hasta que decidió integrar lo más valioso: sus historias personales. Esa mezcla de gastronomía, vulnerabilidad y autenticidad la llevó a construir una comunidad y a publicar un libro infantil llamado Vámonos para Venezuela. Ese libro conecta a los niños de la diáspora con la cultura y la comida venezolana, y ya ha vendido miles de copias.En este episodio también hablamos de maternidad, de la presión de ser madres perfectas, de querer dar siempre lo mejor en la alimentación de los hijos aunque sea caro y agotador, y de cómo a veces tenemos que aceptar que un plato de pasta con aceite de oliva también es suficiente.Nosotras creemos que esta charla es un recordatorio de que comer sano no siempre es una opción accesible, que la autoexigencia nos desgasta y que reinventarnos es un acto de valentía. Si alguna vez te has sentido culpable por no cumplir con todas las expectativas, este episodio es para ti.

The Morrison Legacy Foundation: https://morrisonlegacy.com/ In this episode of the Digital Irish Podcast, we explore how curiosity, experimentation, and a single bold decision can shape an entire life and career. Feargal O'Sullivan — founder and CEO of USAM Group Inc., and a Morrison Visa recipient — shares his remarkable journey, from arriving in New York with no money and few plans to becoming a technology leader helping global companies grow.Feargal is a proven leader with a rare talent for blending business insight with deep technical expertise. Before founding USAM in 2014 to help pioneering data and technology companies achieve sales success, he gained experience at BlackRock, Reuters, and the New York Stock Exchange, where he designed, sold, and deployed cutting-edge systems for some of the world's most innovative financial services firms. His background gives him a deep understanding of financial markets and a unique ability to identify how technology can solve real business problems.We dig into the mindset that drove Feargal to keep trying new things — from music tech to financial services — and how his path embodies the very spirit of the Morrison Visa.

When we decided to travel back to Taiwan to cover the vote to recall 24 KMT legislators on July 26th we had no idea how things would turn out. The Great Recall (or da ba mian) as it came to be known in Taiwan, was notable not just because it led to a record number of 31 KMT legislators in total being put up for a recall vote. What was most impressive about is that it was a nationwide effort that started at a grassroots level by everyday people.   Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/3-perspectives-in-taiwan-why-the-great-recall-failed-ep-325/   It's been incredible to watch everything leading up to the Great Recall. Going back to last May in 2024 during what came to be known as the Bluebird Movement when tens of thousands of people and upwards of 100,000 took to the streets of Taiwan in a series of protests against controversial bills proposed in the legislative yuan. What happened during the Bluebird Movement protests is said to be what in part galvanized citizens to organize the recall campaigns.   I can't deny that our hopes were high for the results of the July 26th recall vote and after we learned that none of the KMT legislators were successfully recalled, we did our best during the remaining days of our time in Taiwan to try to make sense of the results by talking to a number of our friends and peers.   What you'll hear in this episode are some sound bites from conversations we had on July 30th with Rath Wang, Safe Spaces Senior Policy Fellow and Dennis Chen, Chairman of Wikimedia Taiwan. They shared their observations and thoughts on why the recalls failed, the recall campaigners and what the results of the recall vote could mean for President Lai.   Later that day I also spoke with Morrison Lee a Taiwanese businessman who went to China on what was supposed to be a 48-hour trip and ended up getting detained and stuck there for nearly 4 years. Morrison talked about his personal involvement in the recall effort also shared his thoughts on why the recall votes failed.   As mentioned, recall campaign groups succeeded in putting up a total of 31 KMT legislators for a recall vote. Another 7 legislators will be up for a recall vote on August 23rd.   Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/3-perspectives-in-taiwan-why-the-great-recall-failed-ep-325/

The Clare branch of Aontú is leading calls for the resignation of Simon Harris over the handling of a case of a young boy with life-threatening scoliosis, who died last month. 9-Year-old Harvey Morrison Sherratt only underwent urgent spinal surgery last November, after waiting two years and having been previously removed from a waiting list without his parent's knowledge or consent. The Tánaiste had promised in 2017 during his tenure as Health Minister that no child suffering from scoliosis would wait more than four months for treatment. Clare Aontú Rep June Dillon says improvements must start with accountability.

What does it truly mean to love God the way He desires? In this powerful message, Pastor George Morrison, former lead pastor of Faith Church in Arvada, Colorado, unpacks three life-changing ways we are called to love God:- Love God in Totality- Love God as a Priority- Love God Exclusively

After the U.S. Supreme Court in Morrison v. Olson (1988) and U.S. v. Lopez (1995) held two federal statutes were unconstitutional as those statutes were beyond the power of Congress to enact, some claimed it was the dawn of a new federalism revolution. However, such challenges to federal power did not seem to continue.Now, a new case McNutt v. DOJ, once again directly challenges whether a federal statute is beyond Congress’s power to enact. This time, the challenge is to the federal ban on at-home distilling. This case raises substantial issues concerning the scope of Congress’s power and how much decision-making authority the Constitution left for states to decide.This FedSoc Forum will provide an update on what has occurred so far and discuss the important issues raised by this case.Featuring:Thomas Berry, Director, Robert A.

My interview with Gary and Val Morrison, authors of "Shadows of the Beatles"

Have you ever felt a tug from God to do something that just feels...uncomfortable? A choice that goes against every instinct, every bit of logic, and every ounce of your comfort? In this raw and vulnerable episode of The Leader's Cut, Preston and Holly get real about the hardest thing God has ever asked them to do. They pull back the curtain on their own struggles, sharing transparently about the moments they had to choose the difficult path—a path that felt overwhelming, but ultimately led to one of the greatest blessings they've ever known. We dive deep into why God often leads us this way, challenging the lie that an easy life is always the blessed life. He unpacks powerful biblical truths that reveal how our deepest transformation, our most powerful testimonies, and our closest relationship with God are forged in the fires of obedience to His most challenging calls. For anyone standing at a crossroads, unsure if they have the courage to take the first step -- You'll walk away with a fresh perspective on what it means to be a follower of Jesus and the faith you need to say "yes" to His most difficult requests. When God asks for the difficult path, what if your biggest breakthrough is waiting just on the other side?

Dear Article Clubbers,We had a great discussion last Sunday. Thank you to everyone who made it so!It's almost August, which means two things:* It's my birthday soon* I get to announce our article of the monthI cannot adequately express how honored I am to share with you August's article of the month. We are going to be reading and discussing “They Burn Books to Burn Us Too,” by Saint Trey W.Published in April in Notes From The Undrowned, the essay explores how regimes, most notably the United States government, have banned books in an attempt to dominate Black bodies and to erase Black memory. The goal, Saint Trey writes, is “not only control, but the elimination of imagination.”But no matter the government's violence, Black people will not be silenced. They will not be unwritten. Saint Trey writes:What they do not know is that we were never written in the first place. We were sung. We were carved into tree trunks and kitchen counters and braided into our mother's hair. We are older than their archives. And our stories do not end with silence.They begin in fire.My hope is that you will consider reading Saint Trey's essay. I also hope that you will make space to reflect on his words. If you are moved — as I predict many of you will be — I encourage you to join our discussion so that we can all connect and have a conversation in community.➡️ Inside today's issue, you'll find:* My conversation with Sarai Bordeaux, Poet Laureate of Eureka and Article Club correspondent, on what she appreciated about the essay and how it felt to interview the author* A few more excerpts from the article, plus my handwritten annotations* A short biography of the author* More information about our discussion on August 24, plus an inviteOne more thing: My gut says, if you're a high school teacher (e.g., Ethnic Studies, World History, U.S. History), your students would appreciate reading this piece.They Burn Books to Burn Us TooI could quote the entire essay because Saint Trey's writing is so beautiful. But here are a few excerpts that I'm still thinking about.On reading The Bluest Eye for the first time:I remember reading that first chapter and feeling the air change — like God had walked into the room, barefoot and breathless. I didn't know then that some people wanted to bury what I had just touched. I didn't know that entire states would one day strike Morrison from the classroom like a curse. I didn't know that the truth could be illegal.On the government's campaign to ban books:They said they wanted to protect the children. But it was only certain children they meant. Not mine. Not me. Not the children who walk into classrooms carrying the weight of a lineage they're not allowed to name.What I know now is this: when a government begins to fear its own history, it has already declared war on the people who survived it.On resistance and the power of memory through human connection:Long before we were permitted to read, we were remembering. In hush harbors and under moonlight, memory traveled not through paper but through people. The griot, the elder, the preacher, the mama at the stove — all became librarians of the unwritten. The story didn't need a school board's approval to be gospel. It needed only breath.And breath, for us, has always been sacred.By Saint Trey W. • Notes From The Undrowned • 13 min • Gift Link➕ Bonus: Here's the essay with my handwritten highlights and annotations.About the authorSaint Trey W. is a Black queer poet, essayist, and organizer from Brooklyn, New York. His voice carries the salt of survival, the smoke of protest, and the sacred ache of becoming. He writes from the ruins and the rivers, from pews and dancefloors, from the edge of the altar and the underside of America. His Substack publication, Notes from the Undrowned, is not simply a newsletter. It is also a vessel, it is a prayer, and a political reckoning. It is a place to tell the truth when the world demands our silence.About the discussionMy hope is that you'll read “They Burn Books to Burn Us Too” and want to talk about it.We'll be meeting up on Zoom on Sunday, August 24, 2:00 - 3:30 pm PT. We'll spend the first few minutes saying hi and doing short introductions. Then after I frame the piece and share our community agreements, we'll break out into small, facilitated discussion groups. The small groups usually include 5-8 people, so there's plenty of time to share your perspectives and listen to others. That's where we'll spend the bulk of our time. Toward the end, we'll return to the full group, sharing our reflections and appreciations of fellow participants.If this sounds interesting to you, sign up by clicking on the button below.If you're unsure, I get it. If you don't know me, it might feel strange to sign up for an online discussion with total strangers. But I am confident that you'll find yourself at home with other kind people who like to read deeply and explore ideas in community. We've done this 58 times, and by now, it's not a surprise that we're able to create an intimate space, almost like we're in the same physical room together.I hope that you read the piece. If it resonates with you, I encourage you to take the plunge and join us on August 24!Thank you for reading and listening to this week's issue. Hope you liked it.

Time for our Tuesday music feature and today we'll be diving deep into one of the most acclaimed records in rock music, Sir Van Morrison's 'Astral Weeks'. This was Morrison's seconds studio album, and althought he'd had a huge hit on his debut with 'Brown Eyed Girl', he couldn't have strayed further from his pop roots. To contextualise 'Astral Weeks' and play some of his favourites from the record, it's my pleasure to welcome Samuel Flynn Scott, founding member of the Phoenix Foundation.

In this short segment of the Revenue Builders Podcast, we revisit the discussion with Shopify's CRO Bobby Morrison. We dive into the transformational "pod structure" they've adopted to align cross-functional teams more closely with customer outcomes. Drawing on lessons from his tenure at Microsoft, Morrison explains how Shopify's industry-specific pods streamline collaboration across sales, solution engineers, marketing, and customer success—leading to improved speed, accountability, and customer satisfaction. He also reveals how aligning incentives within these pods reduces internal friction and creates scalable, enterprise-grade execution. This episode is packed with strategic insight for CROs, sales leaders, and go-to-market operators aiming to drive operational efficiency and growth.KEY TAKEAWAYS[00:00:28] Shopify's shift to 16 industry-specific pods was designed to bring cross-functional teams closer to the customer.[00:01:00] Each pod includes sales, solution engineering, launch engineers, and partners all aligned around a single outcome.[00:02:00] At Microsoft, the team spent 70% of their time on internal orchestration, highlighting the inefficiency of siloed roles.[00:03:00] Shopify's pod structure includes defined primary and secondary roles with centralized responsibility and incentives.[00:03:49] All roles in a pod are measured against the same customer cohort, improving continuity and reducing disruption.[00:04:12] Morrison explains how aligning marketing with outcomes (not just MQLs) is helping Shopify eliminate interdepartmental friction.[00:05:00] Shopify is close to assigning at-risk compensation to marketing teams based on segment performance—creating real ownership.[00:05:49] The pod model drives faster decisions, stronger accountability, and less tug-of-war between siloed departments.QUOTES[00:01:00] "All aligned around a single outcome, which is helping our customers win."[00:02:39] "A sales rep could have as many as 87 different people they're working with internally to hit their objective."[00:03:49] "Now the pods are incentivized off of the same customer cohort."[00:04:59] "We're very close to assigning at-risk targets to our marketing team."[00:05:49] "Less tug-of-war that happens between siloed parts of the organization that have different KPIs."Listen to the full conversation through the link below.https://revenue-builders.simplecast.com/episodes/ai-driven-sales-innovation-with-bobby-morrisonEnjoying the podcast?

We've all heard the phrase ‘the show must go on'.  But when shouldn't the show go on?  To help me answer that, I'm speaking to someone who has spent 35 years managing some of Australia's most iconic large-scale events — from Taylor Swift concerts to public city spectacles with crowds over 200,000, and corporate experiences — and has often faced the question: when should the show really stop?My guest is Iain Morrison, wh,o as well as having a background in events, is now the CEO of a startup that builds hyper‑accurate 3D and VR plans for event venues.Episode SummaryIn this episode, I dig into what happens when the entertainment world's credo — “the show must go on” — becomes a liability, and what it feels like backstage to carry that kind of responsibility. Iain explains the importance of having show‑stop protocols long before trouble arrives — whether it's crowd crush, heart attacks in the crowd, or approaching severe weather. He explains how event organisers need to make decisions in advance so that nobody freezes under pressure, and ensure everyone is aligned on who can stop the show, and how and when to restart it. We also delve into the emotional toll of the event industry — the brutal hours, constant touring, adrenaline highs, and the realities of burnout. Ian talks candidly about putting people at risk by cutting critical breaks and how easily event teams can burn out. Finally, he walks me through his pivot: building a tech startup that uses 3D planning and virtual models to give event teams a fully visual planning tool — reducing surprises, improving safety, and supporting better decisions from the very first draft. GUEST BIOGRAPHYIain is an event manager with over three decades of experience in running major concerts, festivals, and public spectacles across Australia. He has helped deliver live shows for acts like Taylor Swift, U2, Foo Fighters, major public events on the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Domain Concert series, with crowds ranging from 5,000 to over 200,000. From high school theatre beginnings to early work at Opera Australia and the Sydney Opera House, Ian transitioned into corporate events, the Olympics, and large public outdoor events. He has worked in high-pressure environments where crowd safety, terrorism threats, public order, and weather call-offs were part of the job on a daily basis. About two years ago, he moved from event delivery to event technology — as CEO and co‑founder of The Imagination Collaborative, Ian now leads a startup building hyper‑accurate 3D and VR planning tools. These digital twins help event teams visualise venue layouts, crowd flows, sightlines, signage, camera positions, evacuation routes and more—before anything is built on site.AI-GENERATED TIMESTAMPED SUMMARY[00:00:00] Introduction[00:02:00] Ian's backstory: school theatre → university → Opera House → major events[00:05:00] Scale of events: from 5,000 attendees to crowds of over 200,000[00:08:00] Types of risk at live events: crowd crush, terrorism threats, medical events[00:12:00] Why events remain largely unregulated worldwide[00:15:00] Concept of a “show stop”: planning for what enables safe cancellation or pause[00:20:00] Decision‑making under stress: protocols versus ego-based pressure[00:25:00] Real scenarios: thunderstorms, crowd reaction, and restart challenges[00:28:00] Emotional cost on crews: burnout, long hours, compressed touring schedules[00:32:00] Industry taboo around mental health and burnout; making it safer for staff[00:36:00] Ian's use of social media to spark conversations on stress, safety and standards[00:40:00] Introduction to Ian's startup: detailed planning with 3D environments and VR[00:44:00] How the tool works: drone scans, venue models, client interaction in virtual space[00:48:00] Benefits: fewer surprises, better sightlines, optimised signage, cost savings[00:51:00] Future plans: integrating crowd simulation, digital twin models, global expansion[00:55:00] Final reflections: the trade‑offs of delivering magic vs ensuring safety[00:57:00] Wrap‑upLINKS Iain on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/iainmorrison1/Iain's website - https://iainmorrison.global/ Iain's startup, The Imagination Collaborative - https://www.theimaginationcollaborative.com/

Jimmy Morrison co-wrote and directed the award-winning documentary The Housing Bubble with NY Times bestselling author Tom Woods. The film still holds the attendance record at the Anthem Film Festival after over 300 people spilled into the hallway at the premiere. Jimmy drove over 35,000 miles shooting interviews with people that predicted the crash like Ron Paul, Jim Rogers, Marc Faber, Peter Schiff, Doug Casey, Jim Grant, and David Stockman.All told, Morrison has three documentaries on our spiralling debt crisis which keeps getting monumentally bigger: The Housing Bubble (2019); The Fall of 2008 (2025) and The Bigger Bubble (2026). "Some call it the Everything Bubble. Each [financial] buble keeps getting bigger," Morrison tells DIG LIFE DEEP! host JOHN AIDAN BYRNE, in this interview. We trace the surge in global financial and US debt encompassing mind-bending US student debt, credit card debt, unfunded liabilities and more. Global debt is thought to be hovering around $300 trillion or even much more. How did it come to this? We explore this horrendous debt accumulation and the rise of central banking with filmmaker MORRISON. Morrison's work on Dennis Quaid's Grid Down won a Storyteller Award at DOC LA. Although he was responsible for the motion graphics, his primary role was as a script doctor. Jimmy produced and ran a camera for the mockumentary Rocksteppy, starring Jake Dilley and McManus Woodend, best known for his recurring role as the GEICO caveman. The film features Jeff Dowd: the Coen Brothers original inspiration for “The Dude,” as well as cameos from Oscar-winning directors David Lynch and Peter Farrelly. David Lynch had picked Jimmy and Jake's music video Aperture for a grant. It also screened at the Minneapolis St. Paul Film Festival. His next film will tell the story of Luka Garza's journey to the NBA.Jimmy worked closely with Gary Johnson from 2010-2011 on his Republican Presidential campaign.Website: letusdisagree.com

In Luke 19:1-10 we learn about Zacchaeus, a tax collector in Jericho, who is greatly disliked by the people of Jericho due to the position he holds.
