In this episode of the Pal's Podcast, Dani Galarneau and Ricky Liorti sit down with Obi, reality TV star from Netflix's Too Hot to Handle, fitness coach, and former football athlete. Most people know Obi from Too Hot to Handle, but this conversation goes beyond reality TV. Obi shares his story of being born in Nigeria, growing up in Winnipeg, and chasing his dream of playing in the CFL. After suffering eight concussions, he was forced to walk away from football and completely reinvent his life. We talk about identity loss, athlete grief, mental health, career pivots, and what life is really like after Netflix fame. Obi opens up about the financial pressure of being a public figure, the challenges of social media influence, and rebuilding confidence after losing the sport that defined him. If you are interested in reality TV, Too Hot to Handle, athlete mental health, life after football, personal growth, or reinventing yourself after a setback, this episode is for you. This is the side of Obi you did not see on TV.

*german episode*In this episode Gordon hosts Michael Lüttgen, Chief Customer Officer at Kaufland and former CMO at Biedronka for Jerónimo Martins, OBI and Lidl. From challenger mindsets and retail scale to customer insight, price reality, and leadership without ego, Michael shares why marketing is not advertising, why consistency beats copycats, and why understanding people matters more than winning arguments. Tune in for a sharp episode about impact, complexity and staying grounded in reality.

In this episode of the Mic On Podcast, Seun Okinbaloye speaks with political activist and BBOG co-convener Aisha Yesufu, who delivers a blunt assessment of Nigeria's leadership and the state of governance under President Bola Tinubu. She says the country lacks direction and argues that public frustration cuts across regions, driven by lived realities rather than party loyalty.Yesufu explains her alignment with the ADC as a strategic move, not an emotional one, describing the coalition as united enough to challenge the APC in 2027. While admitting that Peter Obi influenced her decision, she insists her loyalty is to competence and accountability, not party sentiment.She strongly backs Obi as the most credible opposition candidate, dismissing claims that he cannot win Northern votes and predicting internal fractures within the APC ahead of 2027. For Yesufu, the coming election hinges on credible leadership and the integrity of the process, which she believes will define Nigeria's future.Guest:Aisha Yesufu(Political Activist / Co-Convener, Bring Back Our Girls Movement)

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1255: Waymo gains ground on rideshare rivals as Tesla undercuts them all. A global study shows bad CX drives customers away faster than high prices. And automakers pull back from Super Bowl ads, choosing more flexible, efficient buys.Only two automakers — Toyota and Cadillac — are confirmed for Super Bowl 2026, as most brands step away from the pricey event. Facing budget pressure and chasing efficiency, car companies are shifting spend to longer campaigns across other live events.Brands like Ford, BMW, Kia, Honda, Nissan, and Stellantis are sitting it out, citing affordability and better ROI elsewhere.With a $9 million price tag per 30 seconds plus production, the Super Bowl is losing appeal amid industry cost pressures.Automakers are turning to the Olympics, World Cup, and NBA All-Star Game for more cost-effective, multi-week campaigns.“There's no secret that the premium of being in the Super Bowl certainly would come at the expense of having some additional investment,” said Sean Gilpin, Hyundai CMO.Waymo is becoming a real contender in ride-hailing while Tesla goes for a classic price war play. A new Obi study compares autonomous and traditional services, showing a market reshaping rapidly — especially in San Francisco.Waymo's robotaxi pricing has dropped and is now only 12.7% more than Uber and 27.3% more than Lyft, compared to 30–40% higher in mid-2025.Tesla Robotaxi leads on price at just $8.17 per ride, but lags with 15.32-minute average wait times.Obi CEO Ashwini Anburajan: “They're using the playbook that Uber and Lyft used... and we know that playbook works."Consumers now prioritize customer experience over price with 59% abandoning a brand after one bad experience versus 55% fleeing due to price hikes, according to a global Havas CX study. Consistency and emotional connection are key drivers of loyalty.A global survey of 59,000+ shoppers shows experience matters more than cost — more consumers ditch brands after poor service than high prices.Consistent, seamless experiences across digital and physical channels top what customers value most.Emotional connection and personalization now weigh as heavily as functional efficiency in shaping CX.“Loyalty can only be earned by delivering unwavering consistency, authentic personal connection, and experiences that create lasting emotional memories,” says David Shulman.This episode of the Automotive State of the Union is brought to you by Amazon Autos: MeetJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Chinese EVs just entered their mature dominance phase. Three stories prove it:NIO'S ABU DHABI UPGRADEL'imad Holding now owns CYVN's 17.9% NIO stake. Board chairman? Sheikh Khaled—Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, UAE ruler. This isn't investment reshuffling—it's elevation to SOVEREIGN STRATEGIC ASSET. L'imad also owns McLaren. NIO supplying McLaren batteries (4680 cells). Abu Dhabi opened first MENA swap station Feb 2025. Royal family personally overseeing = not risky bet, STRATEGIC INFRASTRUCTURE.THE FEATURE PURGE = MATURITYLi Auto, XPeng, Zeekr CUTTING features. Zeekr killed 1,000km range. Li Auto L6: zero air suspension. XPeng G6: dropped lidar, switched to LFP—sales UP 60% to 65K units. Why? Consumers don't need gimmicks. Core value at right price wins. Survival mode = pile everything. Dominance mode = disciplined optimization.WEST OPENS DOORS (BECAUSE THEY MUST)Germany: €3B EV subsidy through 2029, 800K vehicles, CHINESE BRANDS INCLUDED. German EVs too expensive, sales crashed 27%. They NEED Chinese affordability.Canada: Tariffs 106% → 6.1% (90% DROP). Quota: 49K Y1 → 70K Y5, 50%+ under $35K. Planning Chinese co-production. Why?

The German luxury collapse in China is HERE. Mercedes and BMW just forecasted 2026 sales under 500K units—the EXACT numbers they had in 2016. A full decade of zero growth while NIO, XPeng, and Chinese EV brands set 500K+ targets.WHAT WE COVER:→ Mercedes & BMW's decade-long retreat to 2016 sales levels→ Porsche's catastrophic 56% decline (95,700 → 41,900 units)→ Price cuts of $14,000+ that still couldn't save sales→ Chinese EV brands targeting 500K-600K for 2026→ NEV penetration: 80.9% for Chinese brands vs 39.1% for luxury→ Why German comeback plans might be too lateThis is the structural shift every NIO bull needs to understand. Chinese EVs aren't just competing—they're dominating in the premium segment while legacy luxury brands retreat.KEY NUMBERS:Mercedes 2025: 551,900 units (-19%)BMW 2025: 625,500 units (-12.5%)Porsche 2025: 41,900 units (-26%, down 56% from 2021)China market: 24.065M units (near record high)As a NIO investor who stays objective, I break down what this power shift means for Chinese EV stocks and why 2026 could be the year Chinese brands cement premium dominance.Required listening for NIO, XPeng, Li Auto investors and anyone tracking the EV transition.COURTSIDE FINANCIAL - Where Business Meets the BaselineHosted by Obi

In this special community episode of the Wonbyone Podcast, Obi breaks down one of the most misunderstood parts of basketball and life: roles. From youth hoops to the overseas pro game, he explains why chasing flashy skills and personal validation often holds players back, and how growth starts with mastering what's required in the present.Drawing from his own journey, Obi shares why accepting your role, taming your ego, and aligning with your coach can extend careers and open doors, while ignoring those realities can quietly shut them. This episode is a must-listen for athletes, parents, and anyone trying to succeed within a team environment.

In Nerd Culture #239 kijken Koos, Huey en Jelle uitgebreid terug op 2025: een jaar vol grote releases, verrassingen en verhitte discussies. Wat waren dé films die het jaar hebben gemaakt? Welke series bleven hangen, vielen juist tegen of verrasten onverwacht? Van blockbusters tot kleinere parels en van streaminghits tot bioscoopervaringen: de mannen zetten hun persoonlijke favorieten op een rij, vergelijken lijstjes en blikken terug op de trends die 2025 hebben gevormd. Een aflevering vol meningen, nostalgie en het onvermijdelijke meningsverschil.Ryan Coogler verrast met SinnersWe staan stil bij Ryan Coogler's onverwachte succes met Sinners. De film wist vrijwel uit het niets uit te groeien tot een van de meest besproken titels van het jaar, dankzij Cooglers sterke regie, thematische durf en een toon die duidelijk afweek van wat het grote publiek van hem gewend was. In deze aflevering bespreken we waarom Sinners zo goed werkte, hoe de film zich verhoudt tot Cooglers eerdere werk en waarom dit project voor velen hét bewijs was dat originele, persoonlijke cinema ook in 2025 nog keihard kan raken.One Battle After AnotherOok bespreken we One Battle After Another, een film die dit jaar flink stof deed opwaaien door zijn thematiek en aanpak. De film combineert persoonlijke conflicten met grotere maatschappelijke spanningen en weet die twee verrassend effectief met elkaar te verweven. De boys gaan in op wat de film wil zeggen, hoe de structuur werkt en waarom One Battle After Another voor sommigen een instant favoriet werd, terwijl anderen er juist moeite mee hadden. Is dit een film die vooral blijft hangen door zijn boodschap, of juist door de manier waarop die wordt verteld?Blockbuster Helden: Largo WinchOok hebben we aandacht voor de Blockbuster Helden van Standaard Uitgeverij, en dit keer staat Largo Winch centraal. Terwijl Largo geniet van wat rust op zijn geheime eiland Sarjevane, wordt die abrupt verstoord door de komst van een onbekend jacht. Aan boord bevindt zich Obi Martins, een drone-ontwerper met humanitaire idealen, die echter wordt vermoord nog vóór hij voet aan wal zet. Wat de dader niet weet, is dat Obi's dochter Hope eveneens aan boord was. Largo neemt haar onder zijn hoede en raakt samen met haar verwikkeld in een internationaal complot rond de schimmige dronebusiness. Het duo reist de wereld over om een technologische én humanitaire ramp te voorkomen. Een typisch Largo Winch-avontuur: groots, actueel en vol spanning, zoals je mag verwachten van een echte blockbuster op papier.

In this episode of the Wonbyone Podcast, Obi sits down with Sabrina Parr, six-time All-American, former ESPN host, and elite performance coach, to talk about injury, identity, and the transition from athlete to mentor. Sabrina shares how growing up with instability shaped her work ethic, how six knee surgeries changed the way she saw herself, and how her purpose evolved from chasing medals to building mental strength in others.They get into the mental toll of physical setbacks, what today's athletes are missing, and how parents can support their kids without doing the work for them. Sabrina opens up about coaching through personal struggles, raising her daughter to compete with confidence, and what it really means to stop playing, but keep leading.

TikTok just launched gift cards to compete with Amazon, Waymo robotaxis completely failed during a San Francisco blackout, and billionaires are fighting over Warner Bros in a $108 billion bidding war. This week in tech was INSANE.In this episode, Obi and Kaitlin break down three massive stories that show where technology and business are heading in 2025.WHAT WE COVER:TIKTOK GIFT CARDS - THE AMAZON KILLER?TikTok Shop just launched digital gift cards ($10-$500) with personalized animations and video messages coming in 2026. This isn't just about gifting - it's about locking users into the TikTok ecosystem the same way Amazon Prime does. After doing $500 million in Black Friday sales alone, TikTok is making the exact same play WeChat made in China: become the everything app. We break down why this matters, how it compares to Amazon and eBay, and why TikTok is going ALL IN on e-commerce while still fighting to avoid a US ban.WAYMO ROBOTAXIS BREAK DOWN IN SAN FRANCISCOOn December 20th, San Francisco had a massive blackout affecting 130,000 people. Waymo's self-driving taxis just... stopped. Middle of intersections. Blocking traffic. Over a thousand robotaxis frozen like confused puppies. We explain what actually happened (spoiler: they couldn't phone home to human operators), why this exposes a HUGE problem with autonomous vehicles at scale, and what this means for the future of self-driving cars in cities. Plus: why Elon's response was misleading and what the Challenger disaster teaches us about edge cases.PARAMOUNT VS NETFLIX: THE $108 BILLION WARNER BROS WARDavid Ellison (son of Oracle founder Larry Ellison) wants to buy Warner Bros Discovery for $108 billion. Netflix wants it for $83 billion. Warner Bros said Paramount's offer was "illusory" and didn't trust they had the money. So Larry Ellison personally guaranteed $40.4 billion of the deal - one of the biggest personal guarantees in corporate history. We break down this billionaire soap opera, explain what's actually at stake (HBO, DC Comics, Harry Potter, CNN), compare the two offers, and discuss what this means for the future of Hollywood and streaming.THE BIG PICTURE:All three stories share a common theme - ambitious technology and business moves that are impressive but fragile. TikTok's one ban away from losing everything. Waymo's one emergency away from gridlock. Paramount's one regulatory issue away from losing $108 billion. This is what happens when innovation moves faster than the systems supporting it.This is our FIRST couples episode - Obi hosts Courtside Financial, Kaitlin co-hosts and reacts.

Sarius. Jeden z najbardziej autentycznych głosów polskiego rapu. Artysta, który nie potrzebuje błyszczeć, żeby świecić. W rozmowie z Żurnalistą wraca do swojego dzieciństwa w Częstochowie – do babci, która wierzyła w niego jak nikt inny, do bloków, z których wyrósł i do gniewu, który stał się jego pierwszym językiem. Opowiada o dorastaniu między bójkami a wierszami, o rzuceniu studiów prawniczych i pracy na nockach w OBI, o chwilach, gdy życie mówiło „to nie zadziała”, a on mimo wszystko szedł dalej.Rozmawiamy o Antihype — nie jako marce, ale jako filozofii życia. O sukcesie, który nie daje spokoju. O Fame MMA, które miało być przygodą, a stało się lekcją pokory. O samotności po koncertach, o walce z samym sobą, o głodówkach, depresji i odcięciu od świata, które pozwoliło mu wrócić silniejszym.Sarius mówi o ojcostwie, o córce, która zmieniła w nim wszystko, o wierze w Boga, ale nie w instytucję, o demonach, w które wierzył naprawdę i o tym, co dziś daje mu sens. To szczera, intensywna i chwilami surowa rozmowa o życiu po drugiej stronie sukcesu.To odcinek o człowieku, który zrozumiał, że żeby naprawdę istnieć — trzeba czasem zniknąć.

Send us a textThe search for heroes and authentic leadership resonates deeply within societies facing critical challenges. When a nation feels lost, individuals who embody courage, simplicity, and unwavering belief in possibility become powerful symbols of what could be.Drawing from spiritual wisdom, we explore how governance rests "upon shoulders" - a profound metaphor suggesting leadership is both a spiritual and physical burden. This concept frames our discussion of Nigeria's current state and the figure of Peter Obi, whose straightforward approach and authentic commitment to national renewal has captured the imagination of many Nigerians, particularly the younger generation.What makes Obi significant isn't perfection, but rather his embodiment of standards that create a new reference point for leadership. His simple dress, direct communication, and willingness to engage in everyday situations (like mediating a roadside dispute between drivers) demonstrate leadership qualities that transcend political positioning. The podcast challenges listeners to consider: if more citizens embodied these qualities, could the nation transform?National renewal never happens from a comfortable distance. Using the metaphor of Christ entering death's domain to defeat it, we examine how transforming a nation requires "close proximity fights" with difficult realities. Those fighting for truth must prepare to be scarred in the process, yet these battles - when fought with integrity - create pathways toward collective redemption.The most powerful moment comes in a direct challenge: "I dare you, as a Nigerian, behave like Peter Obi and see if Nigeria will not change." This shifts responsibility from waiting for saviors to becoming part of the solution. True transformation happens when citizens embody the values they seek in their leaders, creating ripple effects that eventually reshape the nation's character and direction.Join our community by subscribing to our channels and following us on social media @AmacriIsoboye.
