With a career spanning leadership roles at Apple, Google, National Geographic, and more, Marcus brings a rare dual perspective from both Big Tech and legacy enterprises.They unpack why most digital transformation efforts fail despite heavy investment, what separates successful tech leaders from those who merely talk innovation, and how culture—not just code—can make or break your future. Marcus shares powerful real-world stories: from National Geographic's transformation into a digital juggernaut, to the organizational inertia that derails billion-dollar initiatives. He outlines the “three dinosaurs” that stall progress—legacy systems, outdated operating models, and people unwilling to change—and offers sharp insights into why customer obsession beats tech obsession every time.Whether you lead a startup or a Fortune 500, this episode will challenge your assumptions, sharpen your thinking, and equip you with frameworks to lead meaningful change in an AI-driven world.TakeawaysLegacy companies don't fail because of age—they fail when they refuse to update thinking while technology advances.Successful transformations require both visionary leadership and operational discipline across the org.Billions in digital investment are wasted when the right people aren't empowered to drive change.Embedding innovation into the core business beats isolating it in innovation labs.Flexible technology is a must—but without true cross-functional collaboration, it's not enough.Only about 5% of AI investments currently show ROI, largely due to legacy systems and poor org alignment.Top-performing organizations operate with tight accountability and a focus on measurable outcomes.Customer experience—not tech stack—should guide transformation priorities.Large “grand projects” that last years often fail to deliver value or ROI.Elite talent gravitates toward environments with high standards, fast iteration, and meaningful impact.Companies that can't attract top talent must either lead with a compelling mission or lean into strategic partnerships.People are the hardest "dinosaur" to evolve—fixing culture and mindset is harder than replacing tech.Chapters00:00 Intro & Guest Introduction01:30 Why Some Legacy Companies Transform & Others Fail03:45 The Real Problem: People & Culture06:20 The Innovation Lab Trap08:15 The First Domino: Flexible Tech & Cross-Team Collaboration10:25 Build vs. Buy in the Age of Cloud12:30 AI Hype vs. ROI Reality14:20 Leadership's Role in Driving Transformation17:55 Customer-First Thinking Over Tech Fetishism21:30 The Dangers of Tech-First Transformation23:45 Why Accountability is the Missing Link29:45 Why Elite Tech Talent Clusters (and Leaves)34:00 Rest & Vest vs. Impact-Driven Professionals41:45 What If You Can't Attract Top Talent?47:00 The Three Dinosaurs: People, Tech, Models53:30 Why Outdated Processes Are More Dangerous Than Tech57:00 Extreme Accountability as a Performance Driver59:15 Books, Billboards & Final ThoughtsMarcus East's Social Media Link:https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcuseast/Resources and Links:https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright

We're taking a break this week while Philip recovers from the 'double-whammy' of flu and COVID boosters. (Science works, but sometimes it makes you nap!) However, we couldn't let January 7th pass unnoticed. On this day in 1610, Galileo first spotted Jupiter's moon, Io. To celebrate, we've unlocked the vault for an encore of one of our most popular episodes ever. Strap in for a tour of a lava-covered world with Robin Andrews in... "Walking on IO". ---- DR. ROBIN GEORGE ANDREWS, science writer for The NY Times, National Geographic, Scientific American, and many more, joins us with an IF that'll keep you on your feet: What The IF we could walk on Jupiter's ultra volcanic moon, IO? Would you walk on a hot pizza? If so, you're ready for the trip! The views of Jupiter would be spectacular, but bring your kevlar umbrella because lava's gonna come flyin' out of the sky. One of the most spectacular places in the solar system, Io is also terribly mysterious, bizarre, and confusing to even the greatest scientists of our time. Pack your bags, bring some galoshes, and let's go! --- Robin Andrews is a doctor of experimental volcanology, a full-time freelance science journalist, a part-time photographer, a scientific consultant, an occasional lecturer, public speaker and explain-how-volcanoes-work TV guest, as well as a pending author of a rather curious book. He can tell you exactly how powerful the Death Star is, how cryovolcanoes on alien worlds work, why a supervolcano probably isn't what you think it is, and why the Moon is shrinking. His work has appeared in THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE ATLANTIC, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, EARTHER, GIZMODO, FORBES, THE VERGE, ATLAS OBSCURA, DISCOVER MAGAZINE, WIRED and elsewhere.

Summary In this episode, Cultivating Curiosity host Jeff Ikler reflects on his love of year-end "Best Books" lists and why reading sits at the heart of his podcast and personal life. He welcomes lists from institutions like The New York Times and the New York Public Library, seeing them as both a defense against book banning and a source of discovery, connection, and generosity. For Ikler, books spark curiosity, deepen empathy, and create bonds—whether through gifting or thoughtful conversation with authors. He also underscores podcast hosts' responsibility to read their guests' work in full, arguing that preparation honors both listeners and writers. Ultimately, Ikler finds himself drawn to books that slow him down through careful observation and reflection, or expand his understanding through deeply researched history, reinforcing reading as both nourishment and refuge. Three Major Takeaways Reading lists are acts of resistance, curiosity, and connection—not just recommendations. Thoughtful reading is essential to meaningful conversation, especially in podcasting. The most rewarding books either sharpen our attention to the present or deepen our understanding of the past. Jeff's favorite books in 2025 Crossings – How Road Ecology is Shaping the Future of Our Planet by Ben Goldfarb. Quoting from the book jacket, "Creatures from antelope to salmon are losing their ability to migrate in search of food and mates; invasive plants hitch rides in tire treads, road salt contaminates lakes and rivers; and the very, very noise of traffic chases songbirds from vast swaths of habitat." In this beautifully crafted book, Goldfarb makes the case that overpasses and underpasses are essential for reducing the deaths of animals and humans who inevitably come into brutal contact with one another. One of the chief takeaways in our era of divisiveness is that road ecologists and other scientists, insurance companies, and government officials are working collaboratively to solve problems. They have different goals for doing so, but they're working effectively at the intersection. You can access my two-part podcast interview on Getting Unstuck–Cultivating Curiosity with Ben in episodes 347 and 348. The Comfort of Crows – A Backyard Year by Margaret Renkl. This title came from one of last year's best books, and it did not disappoint. Quoting from the book jacket, "Margaret Renkl presents a literary devotional: fifty-two chapters that follow the creatures and plants in her backyard over the course of a year." How often do you read a chapter or passage because the writing is so moving? If you're interested in slowing down and seeing more of your immediate world, this is a great place to start. This small volume is a course in observation and reflection. Challenger – A True Story of Heroism and Disaster on the Edge of Space by Adam Higginbotham. Like many Americans who watched the Space Shuttle Challenger break apart just seventy-three seconds into its mission, I thought I knew the story, but I was so wrong. As the book jacket explains, "…the Challenger disaster was a defining moment in twentieth-century history–one that forever changed the way America thought of itself and its optimistic view of the future. Yet the full story of what happened, and why, has never been told." I was moved to head-shaking anger after reading how decisions were made and bungled. Higginbotham's explanation of a highly complicated topic is beautifully presented. The book is a primer on the dangers of overly complex and competing bureaucracies and ego. Remember Us – American Sacrifice, Dutch Freedom, and a Forever Promise Forged in World War II by Robert M. Edsel with Bret Witter. Remember Us documents twelve lives connected to the American Military Cemetery near the small village of Margraten, Netherlands. Approximately 8,300 Americans who helped liberate the Netherlands from the Nazis and the grip of fascism during World War II are buried there. One of these was a Black American soldier who, along with a company of other Black Americans, dug the graves under the harshest weather conditions. The cruel irony is that Black soldiers worked in segregated and mostly non-combat roles in a war fought to eliminate tyranny and oppression. The cemetery is remarkable because local Dutch citizens have taken it upon themselves to adopt each grave and visit it weekly. This practice reflects the citizens' ongoing gratitude, and their visits ensure that the soldiers are always remembered for their sacrifice. There is a waiting list of citizens who wish to adopt a grave. Raising Hare—a Memoir by Chloe Dalton. This title has made almost every list I've come across. From the jacket cover, "…Dalton stumbles upon a newborn hare—a leveret—that had been chased by a dog. Fearing for its life, she brings it home, only to discover how difficult it is to rear a wild hare." Dalton deftly and wisely navigates caring for the hare as a house guest versus a pet, a choice that lets the hare move between the wild of the nearby woods and the security of her home. Like Renkl, Dalton has a keen eye for observation, one that put me in her home and garden as a witness to their interactions. Origin — A Genetic History of the Americas by Jennifer Raff. When I was growing up, I watched or read with almost religious fervor anything National Geographic produced featuring Louis Leakey, a paleoanthropologist and archaeologist. I was in awe of how he dug through the layers of time to find bones and artifacts from our earliest ancestors. Leakey's work was critical in demonstrating our human origins in Africa. So, when my friend Annette Taylor, a researcher of evolutionary psychology and biology, shared an article featuring Professor Jennifer Raff, an anthropologist and geneticist trying to rewrite the history of human origins in the Americas, I knew I had to invite her on my podcast. As a history enthusiast, I found it especially rewarding to co-host, along with Annette, a discussion with Professor Raff on podcast episode 358 about how and why early peoples migrated to and within North America. Raff has a talent for simplifying complex topics and making listeners comfortable with uncertainty. Scientists have theories and are constantly testing and revising them. We don't yet know for sure how early peoples arrived here or why they migrated, but that's the beauty of science and history. There is always more to discover. If You Lived Here, I'd Know Your Name by Heather Lende. I read this book decades ago and was as captivated then as I was this year by Heather Lende's storytelling ability. Adapted from the back cover, "As both the obituary writer and social columnist for the local newspaper (in Haines, Alaska, population about 2,500), Heather Lende knows better than anyone the goings-on in this breathtakingly beautiful place. Her offbeat chronicle brings us inside her — and the town's — busy life." Why read about a small town in Alaska? Maybe because it helps us look critically at our own lives. Like Renkl and Dalton, Heather Lende has an eye for detail, but also the humanity beneath the detail. She has graciously agreed to be my guest in podcast episode 400 this coming February. The most interesting books read in 2025 by his friends and colleagues Steve Ehrlich – The Inner Work of Age: Shifting from Role to Soul by Connie Zweig.  Zweig writes from a Jungian perspective that is accessible to anyone who thinks about old and new agendas, internal and external, as we transition to later life, and reflect on what we want to hold on to, and what we're prepared to let go of to live an authentic life.   Cindy House – What Just Happened by Charles Finch. It's one person's experience of the terrible year that was the pandemic lockdown, with all the fear, uncertainty, and strangeness I had forgotten. I loved his cultural observations and witty take on one of the weirdest years of our lives. I am so glad this particular record exists.  By Edgington – The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer. I first read the book in 2013, then again in '24, and now I read and refer to it every year. Singer's book is what propelled me to join his Temple of the Universe, where Mariah and I now live on the grounds. It's filled with inspiration and simple, almost homely wisdom: "The moment in front of you is not bothering you; you're bothering yourself about the moment in front of you!" Spencer Seim – To Possess the Land by Frank Waters. It follows the life of Arthur Manby, who came to the New Mexico territory in 1885 from England. He quickly tried to cash in by calling parcels of land his own. He quickly ran into resistance, often by force, and had to learn the hard way that the land of New Mexico in those days was a bit more complicated. Charlotte Wittenkamp – Shift by Ethan Kross. Kross examines Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning and the notion that we always have the freedom to choose how we respond - even to the atrocities Frankl had to put up with in a WWII concentration camp. Kross examines and supports, with scientific findings, various ways we can shift our perspectives to gain easier access to that freedom of choice. Paul McNichols – E-Boat Alert by James F. Tent. The book offers a nearly forensic yet highly readable analysis of the threat posed by the E-Boats of the German Kriegsmarine to the Allied invasion of Europe in 1944. It covers the development, use, strengths, and limitations of these fast, maneuverable craft, as well as their impact on the Normandy landings on D-Day and the weeks thereafter. The most interesting part is the chain of events that ultimately led to their neutralization. Annette Taylor – My Name is Chellis, and I'm in Recovery from Western Civilization by Chellis Glendinning. Chellis writes affectionately and respectfully about eco-psychology and nature-based peoples from whom members of Western Civilization could learn a lot. Sue Inches – The Light Eaters – How the unseen world of plant intelligence offers a new understanding of life on earth by Zoe Schlanger. A thrilling journey that leads the reader from an old paradigm of plants as separate inanimate objects, to the true nature of plants as sensing, alive beings who communicate with the world around them. An inspiring example of how human understanding of the world around us is making progress! Rich Gassen – The Art of Gathering by Priya Parker. Priya teaches us how to have better parties, events, and relationships through her writing. I used this book's information (along with her podcasts) to plan a better 10-year anniversary party for the Campus Supervisors Network community of practice I lead at UW-Madison — making it exclusive, inviting, and tailored to those who attended. Mac Bogert – Renegades by Robert Ward. After some time as a college professor, Bob decided to try journalism. He spent twenty years interviewing folks from Waylon Jennings to Larry Flynt, and, damn, he's good at it! Hunter Seim – Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. The novel is set during World War II, from 1942 to 1944. It mainly follows the life of antihero Captain Yossarian, a U.S. Air Force B-25 bombardier. The term "Catch-22" itself refers to a paradoxical situation in which contradictory rules or circumstances trap a person. In the novel, Yossarian discovers that he can be declared insane and relieved from duty if he requests it, but by requesting it, he demonstrates his sanity. Remarkably accurate in describing organizational dysfunction and bureaucratic absurdity. It was the perfect book to read in 2025. Bill Whiteside – I Regret Almost Everything by Keith McNally. I wondered whether this memoir by a New York restaurateur (who hates the word "restaurateur" and much else), who suffered two strokes and survived a suicide attempt, would live up to its social media hype. It does.

Wondering if your pictures are trying to tell you a secret? You're in the right place! In the conclusion of our special two-part series, we follow Sarah Leen into her "new chapter." After making history at National Geographic, Sarah returned to her first love: the direct, creative process of working with photographers. We explore the fascinating world of photo book editing and how she helps photographers decode the "hieroglyphics" of their own work. Sarah opens up about her passion for mentorship, her work with the Visual Thinking Collective, and the energy she finds in teaching at the Eddie Adams Workshop, the Missouri Photo Workshops , and many more. We talk about the importance of being a "maker",  and why she believes the best stories are the ones that take the longest to tell. Don't miss this inspiring look at life after the magazine and the art of lifting the next generation of visual storytellers! *****

In 2025, the state of Montana voted for Trump by nearly 20 points. But Montanan's support for the president is waning because of the administration's policies on public lands. To unpack the effects of DOGE cuts to public land agencies, host Esty Dinur is joined by journalist Cassidy Randall, author of a recent article, ‘I Didn't Vote for This': A Revolt Against DOGE Cuts, Deep in Trump Country.  Randall says that the DOGE cuts that started last February are bad for public lands beyond the national parks. In Montana, people use public lands for recreation and public land agencies engage in wildfire mitigation and habitat restoration. Ranchers rely on grazing allotments because most ranches aren't big enough to graze all their livestock. In Project 2025 there are plans to sell off and privatize private lands. Randall says that if you hollow out the agencies that manage them, it becomes an excuse to sell them off. “When we lose these places, they're gone forever.” Though Montana leans conservative, the people are pro-environment, and the right to a “clean and healthful environment” is written into the state's constitution. And young people are winning climate lawsuits based on their constitutional rights. On top of the DOGE cuts, people in Montana are concerned about tariffs and the Trump administration's relationship with Argentina.  They also discuss how the ultra wealthy are turning to Montana as their playground, the crisis of rural hospitals in the state, and healthcare affordability.  Cassidy Randall writes on adventure, environment, and the West. Her award-winning journalism has appeared in Rolling Stone, National Geographic, the New York Times, Vanity Fair, Outside, and Men's Journal, among others; and her latest book, Thirty Below, was named one of The Washington Post's Noteworthy Books of the Month and won the Banff Mountain Grand Prize.

Cada año, cada diciembre, un niño del coro de la catedral es elegido para convertirse en el Obispillo, una figura que revive una tradición medieval cargada de simbolismo. Vestido con mitra y báculo, este pequeño "obispo" espera hasta el 28 de diciembre para recorrer las calles de Burgos o Palencia, repartiendo bendiciones y dulces desde un poni blanco. Esta fiesta, vinculada al Día de los Santos Inocentes, invierte por un día los roles de poder, otorgando a los niños la voz del púlpito, rindiendo un homenaje a la inocencia, la sátira y la memoria festiva de Castilla.

What do the world's longest-lived populations eat differently? In this episode, my guest and I unpack what the world's longest-lived people actually do to stay healthy well into old age. Dan Buettner and I also explore why longevity isn't about biohacking or supplements, but about designing your environment, your food, and your daily routines to work for you. Dan Buettner is a National Geographic explorer and bestselling author who's spent decades studying the world's longest-lived people in the Blue Zones. He's known for turning cutting-edge longevity research into practical, real-life strategies that actually stick. What you'll learn: (04:07) Why Dan says longevity isn't about discipline or biohacking, but long-term environment design. (04:51) What centenarians across Blue Zones have eaten consistently over decades. (07:36) Why the belief in a “quick fix” is the biggest misconception about longevity. (10:13) How daily walking and natural movement add years of life expectancy. (12:25) Why getting up and down from the floor may be one of the best forms of exercise as you age. (16:42) How living in hilly or steep environments is linked to longer life spans. (19:16) How flavor science was used to make healthy Blue Zones food irresistibly delicious. (27:01) Why Blue Zones cultures avoid snacking and eat most of their calories earlier in the day. Love the podcast? Here's what to do: Subscribe to the podcast. Leave a review.

Pete Souza was the Chief Official White House Photographer for the entire tenure of the presidency of Barack Obama. He is the author of several books, including the #1 New York Times bestsellers Obama: An Intimate Portrait and Shade: A Tale of Two Presidents. A photojournalist since the late 1970s, Souza was also an official White House photographer during the Reagan administration, a freelance photographer for Life and National Geographic, and the Washington-based natural national photographer for the Chicago Tribune. A documentary about his work at the White House, The Way I See It, was nominated for an Emmy, and its Premier was the highest rated non-news, non-live program in MSNBC history. He is a professor emeritus at Ohio University's School of Visual Communication. In 2021, Souza was inducted into the International Photography Hall of Fame. Pete has brilliantly captured on film so many incredible moments in modern presidential history. But he also has a great way with words, and joins me for an insightful chat about Donald Trump's unconscionable architectural and design assault on The White House, the defiling of The Kennedy Center, and his utter disdain for protocol, the rule of law, and history.

En 1910, el paso del cometa Halley provocó un pánico colectivo global donde científicos detectaron gas cianógeno en su cola y el astrónomo Camille Flammarion advirtió que podía contaminar la atmósfera terrestre. La prensa amplificó el miedo con titulares apocalípticos, lo que dio lugar a escenas surrealistas como venta de píldoras “anti-cometa”, máscaras de gas e incluso paraguas protectores. Aunque la Tierra cruzó la cola del cometa sin consecuencias, el episodio se convirtió en un símbolo de cómo ciencia, superstición y medios pueden desatar histerias masivas.

En 1843, Henry Cole acababa de colaborar en la reforma postal británica y se encontró sobrepasado por una avalancha de felicitaciones navideñas a corresponder. Para simplificar la tarea, encargó al ilustrador John Callcott Horsley la creación de una tarjeta que pudiera enviarse en serie. Nació así la que se considera la primera «postal de Navidad» comercial, una imagen de familia brindando y escenas de caridad, con el mensaje «A Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year to You». Lo polémico vino del detalle de los niños con copas de vino, que despertó críticas del movimiento de templanza. Lo que empezó como ingenio personal de Cole se convirtió en una tradición global.

The arts and humanities bring multiple benefits to students, and society as a whole, but are often dismissed as lacking value by policymakers when pitted against STEM subjects. In this episode of Campus talks, a vice-chancellor-come-artist and a classicist explain why the arts and humanities are so vital to a healthy, well-informed society, the specific lessons and skills these subjects engender in those who study them and how university educators can foreground these. You will hear from: Michael Scott, who is pro vice-chancellor international and a professor of classics and ancient history at the University of Warwick. Michael's research explores the intersection of ancient history and archaeology within the Mediterranean and beyond. He has published numerous books on the ancient world for the popular market and written and presented TV series on the BBC, ITV, History Channel and National Geographic.  Mark Power is vice-chancellor and chief executive of Liverpool John Moores University and a professor of higher education leadership as well as being practicing artist. Mark has worked at Liverpool John Moores University for 44 years having taken up a role as a senior technician in the fine art department at what was then Liverpool Polytechnic in 1981. He has maintained his internationally recognised work as an artist alongside his academic career throughout this time.

En Japón, la soledad es una epidemia social que ha dado lugar a fenómenos sorprendentes como el alquiler de familias. En un país donde millones viven aislados, y donde surgieron figuras como los hikikomori, han proliferado empresas que ofrecen “familiares” por horas: actores que interpretan desde padres hasta parejas o amigos. Aunque para muchos representa consuelo, también plantea preguntas inquietantes sobre los límites entre lo real y lo simulado. ¿Puede una relación contratada sustituir la conexión humana auténtica?

From Sneaky Rebel to National Geographic Trailblazer! This is the start of a special two-part series with the amazing Sarah Leen, a woman whose name is synonymous with the iconic yellow border of National Geographic. In this first part, we trace Sarah's historic journey: from being a "rebellious" student to becoming the first female College Photographer of the Year and, eventually, the first female Director of Photography in the magazine's 125-year history.  We dive into the reality of the freelance life, shooting 16 stories across the globe from Siberia to Mali, and the "tough lessons" learned on her first assignments. Sarah shares her philosophy on being a "problem solver" rather than a "problem maker," her love for the physical page, and why she eventually decided to step down from the top office to return to the creative "jigsaw puzzle" of editing.  Coming next week: Stay tuned for Part 2, where we follow Sarah into her life after the magazine, focusing on the art of photo books editing, her mission with being a mentor at amazing workshops and some good laughs of course too! *****

Manex Ibar feels like ancient wisdom wrapped in warmth, wonder and a major dose of otherworldly badassness. A mystic, shaman, and visionary entrepreneur, he bridges sacred tradition with evolutionary science, guiding individuals and organizations to awaken higher consciousness and remember who they truly are. It was such an honor to welcome him back to Intimate Conversations to close season 13, "Heart Broken Open." Our dialogue was a tapestry of mysticism, science, and raw humanity — exploring near-death initiations, divine downloads, and the creation of his revolutionary system, The Sphinx Code. In this extraordinary and soul-stirring conversation we explored how Manex's life has been shaped by profound initiations, from being struck by lightning to literally drowning and being brought back to life with the help of a whale. He shared how these experiences opened channels of divine communication and seeded his lifelong devotion to integrating ancient teachings with modern understanding. We explored the origin story of the Sphinx Code, a system he downloaded that weaves together archetypal psychology, sacred geometry, numerology, and the Fibonacci sequence. It maps the subconscious architecture of the soul and reveals each person's unique blueprint for transformation. What began as a mystical insight became a tangible app and oracle system that has transformed lives worldwide. Manex revealed how the Tarot, once dismissed by him as a "fun game," became a sacred frequency map guiding human evolution. He described how each archetype vibrates with a specific frequency, forming a dance between the masculine and feminine energies within us. Together, we looked at my own Sphinx Code chart — and how "Death," my harmony card, symbolizes transformation, transcendence, and the pure joy of spiritual rebirth. He spoke of meeting his wife, Victoria, and how her mathematical and astrological brilliance expanded the Sphinx Code by integrating it with the I Ching, Kabbalah, and astrology. Their co-creation revealed that wisdom is not meant to be owned but shared, evolving through union and humility. We also touched on the sacred lessons of being human — divorce, fatherhood, and love as initiation. Manex shared how heartbreak, like the lightning and the waves, can strip us bare only to reconnect us to the Divine pulse of life. He reminded us that pain can be sacred when it humbles the ego and reawakens devotion to purpose. This conversation is a portal — a remembrance that we are each an unfolding code of consciousness, pulsing with divine intelligence. It invites you to honor both your mystical and human nature, to dance between the seen and unseen, and to live as your full embodied light.

With over 25 years of initiation into indigenous wisdom, bioenergetics, and plant medicine,  he has transformed the lives of high-profile clients including celebrities, CEOs, and Fortune  500 leaders worldwide.

He later extended his influence with his nonprofit VthSeason, into cultural  & environmental causes through his partnerships with UNESCO and the United Nations  Environment Program (UNEP), leading sustainability awareness programs with National  Geographic and the Ansel Adams Foundation globally. As the founder of the Sphinx Code, Manex developed a revolutionary system that uncovers  the subconscious architecture of individuals through their Archetypal Blueprints.

En 1925, una epidemia de difteria amenazaba la aislada localidad de Nome, en Alaska, durante un invierno brutal. Ante la imposibilidad de utilizar aviones, se organizó un relevo épico de trineos tirados por perros que recorrió unos 1 100 km desde Nenana hasta Nome. Balto, un husky siberiano, lideró la última etapa del trayecto, enfrentando ventiscas y hielo para entregar el suero salvador. Su gesta marcó no solo un triunfo humano‑canino, sino el papel decisivo que tuvieron los trineos en la supervivencia en el Ártico. Su legado perdura como símbolo de valentía, resistencia y colaboración. Y descubre más historias curiosas en el canal National Geographic y en Disney +. Learn more about your ad choices.

On January 13, 1888, a group of thirty-three prominent citizens, including geographers, explorers, teachers, lawyers, cartographers, military officers, and financiers, gathered at the Cosmos Club in Washington, DC, to establish "a society for the increase and diffusion of geographical knowledge." At first, the organization was more of a scholarly endeavor, but over time, it became one of the most popular brands dedicated to science, exploration, and discovery.  Through its publications, it has allowed millions of people a glimpse of what life is like elsewhere in the world.

Mountain climbing is safer when you do it with a climbing partner. If you want to see something really crazy, something that might even bring up some anxiety as you watch it, check out the documentary called Free Solo. This is a National Geographic documentary about a young rock climber named Alex Honnold. His dream was to climb this 3000 foot rock called El Capitan, in Yosemite National Park. Just climbing it is a great achievement for most rock climbers. But Alex Honnold is not like most rock climbers. He wanted to do it without any ropes, and without any safety equipment. That's what “free solo” climbing is. Alex planned and trained extensively for it. And he was successful. My guest today is Dan. Dan loves to climb. One day he was out with his friend and long-time climbing partner, Jim. It was a beautiful day and they were having a great time. That was the day that Dan learned that when you're on the mountain, having a partner there with you can mean the difference between life and death.

Doug Smith retired as the Senior Wildlife Biologist in Yellowstone National park after 28 years of service where he supervised the wolf, elk, and bird programs. Doug has studied wolves for 44 years, done over 2,000 interviews, and appeared on numerous documentaries about wolves and birds for National Geographic, BBC, and CBS 60 Minutes. He is a member of the Mexican Wolf Recovery Team, the Re-Introduction Specialist Group, and the Canid Specialist Group for the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).He talked about the lessons he's learned from wolves, his experiences in captive facilities, including observations he made while visiting Wolf Connection, and his continued mission to advocate for wolves, wild places and and ecological restoration.Wolf Connection @wolfconnection@thewolfconnectionpod

We have another episode in a series of discussions with well-vetted guests from companies that I feel my community would benefit from hearing about Today, I speak with Dr. Stephanie Venn Watson, a veterinary epidemiologist and the co-founder and co-CEO of Serafina Therapeutics. She has worked with the World Health Organization, DARPA, and the US Navy. She has over 70 patents and has authored more than 80 peer-reviewed scientific papers, and her discoveries have featured on NPR, Science Friday, BBC, NBC, and National Geographic. Her groundbreaking discoveries around the health benefits of C15:0 are the topic of a recent book. In our conversation today, we explore longevity molecules and geno-protective molecules, why they matter, and how they work. We cover the basics of rapamycin and glucophage, then dig into the growing body of research on longevity and lifespan, specifically looking at C15:0, what it is, what it does, why it's important, and how it's the first essential fatty acid discovered in decades. We look at its wide-ranging pleiotropic effects on metabolic health, mood, sleep, the brain, gut, and immunity, as well as the signs of low C15:0 levels and the specific labs that can identify a deficiency. We also talk about the benefits of supplementation and improved bioavailability.  Since I have been taking C15:0 myself over the last four to five months and noticed improvements in my recovery and sleep, I'm excited to share this informative and helpful conversation, humbly dedicated to the essential saturated fatty acid, C15:0. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: • The role C15:0 plays in guiding the aging process and new findings about its benefits for the immune  system, brain, and longevity • C15:0's emerging importance as a key player in metabolic balance • What Dr. Venn-Watson's animal studies revealed about the mechanisms of aging in humans • Why women in midlife become more vulnerable to shifts in immune quality and cellular resilience • The ways nutritional deficiencies can appear in blood markers long before symptoms develop • What occurs with red blood cell stability and aging markers when C15:0 levels are too low • Which biomarkers are now being considered early indicators of biological aging • Formulation features of C15:0 that enhance its bioavailability • The multiple bodily systems that can benefit from supplementing with C15:0 Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on ⁠X⁠, ⁠Instagram⁠ & ⁠LinkedIn⁠ Check out Cynthia's ⁠website⁠ Submit your questions to ⁠support@cynthiathurlow.com⁠ Join other like-minded women in a supportive, nurturing community (The Midlife Pause/Cynthia Thurlow) ⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/themidlifepause⁠ Cynthia's ⁠Menopause Gut Book ⁠is on presale now!

High in Colorado's Wet Mountain Valley, a lonely cemetery glows with mysterious blue lights... dancing orbs that have baffled miners, teenagers, scientists, and even National Geographic for more than a century. In this episode, we uncover the boom-town history behind Silver Cliff, the legends, the tragedies, and the science, and why these lights may be the last living heartbeat of a town that refused to die. hauntedamericanhistory.comPatreon- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/hauntedamericanhistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Barnes and Noble -   https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68SEbookGOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316 !!
