Ben Howe's brewing career reads more like that of a chef than a typical brewer—stints in Denmark, brewing jobs on both the East and West coasts, weeks spent interning at breweries that intrigued him—but one fateful visit to the Zehender brewery in Monchsambach opened his eyes to Franconian lager and inspired a nearly decade-long quest to understand the beer and its mechanisms of flavor. More recently at Otherlands (https://www.otherlandsbeer.com), he's pushed boundaries of accepted brewing dogma, mashing with pH levels far past any sensible range in an effort to build color and flavor—and the things that shouldn't work still obviously do work. In this episode, Howe discusses both his traditional methods and modern concessions, including: learning from Will Meyers and Megan Parisi at Cambridge Brewing capturing Franconian-ness in long-boiled lager beers old-style vs. new-style German lager brewing kräusening to carbonate rather than spunding before terminal never raising the temperature for a diacetyl rest while using ALDC to control precursors finding color with only pilsner malt hardening water for lager brewing with calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, and gypsum mashing above 5.8 pH maintaining atmospheric pressure for yeast during fermentation boiling large amounts of low-alpha hops for a long time to build flavor and texture And more.

What if everything you thought about starting and scaling a business was completely backwards? That's the provocative question at the heart of this illuminating conversation between marketing experts Blessing and Paa Kwasi, who challenge conventional entrepreneurial wisdom at every turn.The episode opens with a surprising assertion: "You don't need money to start a business, you need a customer." This paradigm shift sets the tone for a discussion that reframes entrepreneurship as accessible to anyone willing to think differently about business fundamentals. Both guests share how they built successful ventures with minimal initial capital by focusing on value creation rather than resource acquisition.As the conversation deepens, Blessing reveals why so many businesses fail despite posting impressive delivery numbers on social media – their pricing strategy is fundamentally flawed. "A lot of people are selling but they're not making money," she explains, before offering a comprehensive framework for pricing that optimizes for profit rather than volume. Meanwhile, Paa Kwasi breaks down his systematic approach to LinkedIn growth that has helped countless professionals build powerful personal brands online.Perhaps most valuable is their dissection of what truly separates successful entrepreneurs from those who struggle. "When the tough gets going, the tough seek collaboration," Paa notes, highlighting how strategic thinking consistently outperforms mere hard work. The guests contrast being "consumed by hustle" versus being "consumed by strategy" – a distinction that explains why many determined business owners hit growth ceilings.Whether you're contemplating your first venture, looking to scale an existing business, or seeking to sharpen your marketing approach, this episode delivers actionable frameworks rather than vague platitudes. From identifying your unique value proposition to creating systems that allow your business to grow beyond you, these insights provide a roadmap for entrepreneurial success in today's competitive landscape.Support the showWatch the video episode of this on YouTube - https://linktr.ee/konnectedminds Host: https://www.instagram.com/derrick.abaitey/ Join Entrepreneurs Community: https://www.skool.com/konnected-academy
Já faz três décadas que quase 200 países se reúnem todos os anos para negociar soluções de combate ao aquecimento global – e, pela primeira vez, o encontro vai acontecer às portas da maior floresta tropical do planeta. Na COP30 em Belém do Pará, o mundo vai conhecer de perto não apenas a exuberância da Amazônia brasileira, como dará de cara com o colossal desafio de proteger um território mais extenso que a União Europeia, onde moram quase 30 milhões de habitantes. Como preservar a floresta e, ao mesmo tempo, garantir renda para as populações locais? Lúcia Müzell, eviada especial da RFI à aldeia Ita'aka, na Terra Indígena Koatinemo (Pará) Na Conferência do Clima da ONU, o Brasil dará visibilidade às pessoas que vivem sob a copa das árvores: indígenas, ribeirinhos e extrativistas, mas também populações urbanas, que dependem da floresta para sobreviver. O grande desafio é proteger a mata e as suas riquezas naturais, um patrimônio do Brasil e da humanidade, e ao mesmo tempo, garantir condições dignas de vida para esses habitantes, que lá nasceram e cresceram. Nos territórios amazônicos, é principalmente a agricultura em baixa escala que sustenta as famílias. Centenas de milhares desses pequenos produtores herdam o conhecimento tradicional sobre o manejo sustentável da floresta, porém esbarram em uma série de obstáculos para comercializar os seus produtos. Da logística complexa ao pouco acesso a crédito, da dependência de atravessadores à ameaça criminosa aos seus territórios, os "guardiões da floresta” estão à margem das estatísticas da economia amazônica. “A escala da biodiversidade hoje, tal como ela existe na Amazônia, não alimenta 2 milhões de pessoas”, observa Patricia Pinho, especialista em desenvolvimento sustentável e membro do Painel Intergovernamental da ONU sobre Mudança do Clima (IPCC). “De toda uma diversidade da Amazônia, de mais de 700 diferentes tipos de produtos da sociobiodiversidade mapeados, apenas nove compõem a cesta dos mais procurados, mais vendidos e comercializados, entre eles a castanha, açaí, alguns óleos essenciais e o cacau”, explica. O Brasil prepara um Plano Nacional de Desenvolvimento da Bioeconomia, que deverá ser lançado durante a COP30. O objetivo é fortalecer as atividades que contribuem para gerar recursos para algumas das regiões mais pobres do país, a uma condição: desmatamento zero. Valorização leva à proteção da floresta Na bioeconomia compatível com a floresta em pé, os produtos são extraídos da mata no seu ciclo natural, ou são plantados em consórcio com outras culturas, em harmonia com a mata. É por isso que é preciso ter cuidado quando se fala em dar escala a este comércio – a socio-bioeconomia não tem vocação a criar novas monoculturas, ao contrário da soja ou da pecuária, vetores da destruição da Amazônia. “O que a gente precisa é ter uma visibilidade do aspecto plural da sociobiodiversidade, agregar valor – não só o valor econômico, mas que inclua essas boas práticas, o conhecimento milenar que, uma vez perdido, não é recuperável facilmente”, salienta Pinho, diretora-adjunta do Ipam (Instituto de Pesquisa Ambiental da Amazônia). O Pará é o estado amazônico onde as cadeias produtivas da floresta são mais desenvolvidas. Para o cacique Nei Xipaya, da aldeia Tucamã, na região de Altamira, o retorno financeiro da venda de especiarias da região é quase um detalhe: o dinheiro é usado para a compra de suprimentos básicos para a aldeia. Para ele, a prioridade mesmo é a transmissão da herança ancestral do cultivo da floresta – uma questão de sobrevivência para os povos indígenas. “Quando eu vendo uma castanha, eu estimulo que o jovem procure o pai dele para saber como é que procura castanha no mato, como é que se faz um paneiro, como é que se coleta”, conta. O fortalecimento das cadeias nativas ajuda a conter o êxodo da juventude indígena para os centros urbanos – que impacta na preservação dos territórios, sob constante pressão de invasores. “Nesse processo de coleta, você tem várias outras espécies de atividade que dá para você fazer, cuidar da medicina tradicional, conhecer e saber andar no próprio território. A geração nova não tem o domínio, e sim os anciões.” Articulação de comunidades locais A batalha para revalorizar os produtos florestais não madeireiros uniu comunidades que, até pouco tempo atrás, se viam como concorrentes mortais, como indígenas e seringueiros da região da Terra do Meio, no centro do Pará. Há mais de 10 anos, lideranças de dezenas dessas comunidades banhadas pelos rios Xingu e Iriri se aproximaram para ter mais força na negociação de preços dos produtos cultivados nos seus territórios, de uma extensão comparável a de um país como Portugal, com 9 milhões de hectares. A cada dois anos, eles se reúnem para Semana do Extrativismo, na qual debatem as dificuldades comuns e discutem soluções. Este ano, o evento aconteceu na aldeia Ita'aka, na Terra Indígena Koatinemo. Edileno Camilo de Oliveira, 36 anos, vice-presidente do coletivo, lembra que, antes da criação de uma reserva extrativista no local e da consolidação da rede, havia áreas tomadas por madeireiros ilegais, onde os verdadeiros habitantes não podiam nem mais entrar. “Uma vez que o nosso produto tem valor, a gente vai buscar mais lá dentro, a gente vai longe e quando a gente está indo, a gente está olhando, está protegendo e está fazendo um serviço socioambiental”, ressalta. Juntos, os comunitários da Rede Terra do Meio conseguem atender à demanda de mercado por volume, mas a escala de produção não se dá por mais desmatamento, e sim por um sistema semelhante ao de uma cooperativa. A negociação de preços e valores acontece diretamente com as empresas. “A gente enxerga esses parceiros com um bom olhar, até porque antes disso, a gente vivia na mão do atravessador. Com os parceiros comerciais da rede, isso mudou”, afirma Edileno, que vive em Riozinho Anfrísio, a 370 quilômetros de Altamira. “A gente passou a ter um espaço de governança e a ter a nossa autonomia. É a gente que decide a forma que a gente quer fazer o comércio.” A valorização das cadeias nativas tem estimulado a diversificação da produção, deixando os comunitários menos suscetíveis às variações dos preços de mercado e aos impactos das mudanças climáticas, como foi o caso da quebra da safra da castanha em 2024. A rede também possibilitou às comunidades ampliarem a participação em políticas públicas de incentivo à agricultura familiar, como os programas nacionais de Aquisição de Alimentos (PAA) e de Alimentação Escolar (PNAE) – dos quais acabavam excluídos por falta de informação ou desconhecimento dos procedimentos técnicos e digitais. Vania Asuri vive no Território Indígena Koatinemo, às margens do Xingu. Mãe de três filhos, ela trabalha como técnica de enfermagem e ajuda na roça familiar. Nas horas vagas, ainda encontra tempo para jogar futebol e fazer pintura de tecidos, sua paixão. O excedente de mandioca e banana agora é vendido para o PAA, uma parceria firmada no ano passado. “Falta eles terem um olhar diferente para os nossos produtos, porque eles são originais. É tudo à mão, a gente não tem máquina, não tem aqueles de produtos que se joga para aumentar a produção”, argumenta. “Acho que falta muito isso ainda: eles terem um olhar diferente para o nosso povo.” Uma das condições para a associação aos parceiros é o respeito ao modo de vida e a cultura de cada povo da floresta – que tem outro tempo, outros prazos e outras formas de entregar os seus produtos. “Algumas empresas chegavam visando a compra de um produto, impondo aí as condições. Mas quando a gente fala na sustentabilidade alimentar e no mercado justo aqui, a gente não está vendendo só um produto. A gente está vendendo uma história e uma valorização”, reitera o cacique Nei Xypaia. Amazônia intocada: mais uma forma de preconceito Esse choque de culturas é um dos principais desafios para a ampliação do comércio justo com as comunidades tradicionais amazônicas, aponta Jeferson Straatmann facilitador de Economias da Sociobiodiversidade do Instituto Socioambiental (ISA). A organização, referência no Brasil para a proteção das comunidades tradicionais, atua fazendo a ponte entre as associações locais e potenciais parceiros comerciais. “Tem um entendimento muito racista sobre o que é conhecimento, o que é um modo de vida. Tem um entendimento que esse modo de vida deveria ser outro. Isso abre esses territórios, numa justificativa de economia, para invasões, para garimpo, para madeira”, constata Straatmann. “Normalmente, as empresas buscam a comercialização reduzindo o custo, independente do impacto social e ambiental. Essa mudança de paradigma na sociedade, desde as bases desse preconceito racial, do entendimento dessas culturas, do valor desses conhecimentos para a conservação e para um modo de produção que conserve ao mesmo tempo, é algo que está na base dos desafios”, aponta. Outro preconceito que Straatmann busca desconstruir, principalmente de governos e organizações estrangeiros, é o de que preservar a Amazônia significaria transformá-la em um santuário intocado. Ele argumenta que esta premissa demonstra desconhecimento não apenas da área continental do bioma, como da existência milenar de povos que sempre habitaram a floresta sem destruí-la. “Olhar a natureza como algo intocado é um formato de racismo que só entende a visão do branco. A visão eurocêntrica da sociedade, moderna, que precisou se apartar o homem da natureza, no intuito de que esse homem destrói”, aponta o doutor em engenharia de produção pela USP. “Não é essa a realidade desses povos. Os povos conservam a partir dos modos de vida deles. Esses modos de vida se transformaram e continuam transformando floresta em floresta.” Resgate da borracha amazônica, sob novas bases Uma das cadeias nativas que estão ganhando impulso graças ao comércio ético é a da borracha – e apesar do histórico trágico dos seringueiros na região. Depois de dois prósperos ciclos da matéria-prima na virada do século 19 para o 20, marcados pela violência e a exploração dos trabalhadores nos seringais, o cultivo do látex disparou em São Paulo. A busca pelo produto quase desapareceu na Amazônia. “A gente foi parando de trabalhar porque estava muito mínimo. Um quilo de borracha não comprava um quilo de açúcar. Dava R$ 0,70, era muito pouco. Aí as famílias foram largando”, recorda o extrativista Pedro Pereira de Castro, 61 anos. “Não tinha como o cara cortar seringa para sobreviver. A gente tinha que fazer 1.200, 1.300 quilos para poder, no fim do ano, não estar devendo muito – porque tinha gente que ainda ficava devendo [para o patrão].” A concorrência asiática, líder no mercado mundial, e o aparecimento da borracha sintética – derivada do petróleo –, terminou de dizimar uma cadeia que havia trazido prosperidade para Manaus e Belém. Hoje, ela ressurge sob novas bases, sustentada por empresas dispostas a pagar até cinco vezes mais pela matéria-prima nativa, em nome da preservação dos territórios. O látex é um dos produtos prioritários da Rede Origens Brasil, que promove negócios que valorizem os povos da Amazônia e a floresta em pé. Um dos maiores desafios é conectar esses extrativistas aos mercados. “A logística amazônica fica muito cara por conta de todos os deslocamentos via fluvial. Tem territórios que vão demorar dois dias para conseguir escoar sua produção, descendo ou subindo o rio”, afirma Patricia Andrade Machado, coordenadora de Articulação Territorial do Imaflora (Instituto de Manejo e Certificação Florestal e Agrícola), cofundador da iniciativa ao lado do ISA. “O tempo da floresta é um tempo muito diferente do tempo capitalista. Mas as empresas também têm as suas demandas, então a gente facilita esses diálogos para que um entenda o lado do outro”, diz. ‘A gente sobrevive da natureza e não quer que isso acabe' O contrato de parceria impõe critérios como rastreabilidade da produção, transparência nas transações, equidade, preço justo e respeito ao modo de vida tradicional das comunidades. Os pequenos produtores precisam ter uma governança estruturada, por meio de uma associação, por exemplo, enquanto as empresas devem apresentar indicadores de impacto socioambiental deste comércio. No caso da borracha, um dos gargalos é aumentar o volume extraído dos seringais: no primeiro ano de contrato com a fabricante Mercur, a empresa estava disposta a comprar 12 toneladas de látex, mas só recebeu 400 quilos. A iniciativa deu o que falar na região da Terra do Meio e, no segundo ano, com a adesão de mais extrativistas e um trabalho de capacitação técnica em campo, a coleta chegou a 7 toneladas. “A capacitação busca conciliar o conhecimento tradicional com a demanda do mercado, com a demanda de qualidade dessa borracha”, complementa Machado. A parceria da Mercur com a Rede Terra do Meio já tem 15 anos e tem espaço para crescer: a produção na região ainda não atingiu a meta, e representa menos de 10% da demanda anual da empresa, aponta o analista de vendas Jovani Machado da Silva. “Nós deixamos de comprar borracha da Amazônia para comprar de empresas de cultivo em São Paulo, por questões de custo, e também devido à quantidade, que era bem menor”, relata Jovani Machado da Silva, analista de vendas da empresa gaúcha. “A gente veio tentar resgatar essa dívida, digamos assim, que a gente tem com essas regiões e com esse povo. O resgate é de estar favorecendo para que os povos da floresta tenham uma fonte de renda a mais para que eles se mantenham na floresta, que é onde é o habitat deles, onde eles querem ficar.” É exatamente isso que o extrativista Pedro Pereira, de Riozinho Anfrísio, relata. No passado, ele já trabalhou com garimpo e em fazendas, mas onde gosta mesmo de estar é sob as árvores. “A seringa que o meu avô cortava, meu pai cortou, eu corto e meus netos vão poder cortar. Não tem outro produto igual à seringa para a gente, porque em todo lugar que você chega na beira do rio, tem seringueira”, afirma. “É um produto bem seguro, e é a natureza, né? A gente sobrevive da natureza e não quer que isso acabe.” * Esta é a primeira reportagem de uma série do podcast Planeta Verde da RFI na Amazônia. As reportagens, parcialmente financiadas pelo Imaflora, vão ao ar todas as quintas-feiras até a COP30 em Belém, em novembro.

Can a carbon-negative, bio-based molecule replace legacy phosphonates and help you use less azole—without sacrificing corrosion performance? In this episode, host Trace Blackmore, CWT, welcomes Matheus Paschoalino, PhD Senior Business Development Manager and Microbial Control SME of Solugen, to unpack polyhydroxycarboxylic acids (PHCs) and how they're changing cooling-water programs from the field up. We cover HEDP replacement in light-duty systems, azole enhancement in copper-challenged waters, a second-generation cut for heavy-duty heat flux, and PHC behavior with oxidizers and non-oxidizer biocides. From Bioforge to Basin: How PHCs Are Made and Why It Matters Paschoalino explains Solugen's chemo-enzymatic “Bioforge” approach that oxidizes sugars (corn-syrup feedstock) into PHCs with very high yield and no practical byproducts—a pathway validated as carbon-negative. He outlines how different “cuts” (monoacid-rich vs. diacid-rich) map to different use cases, and notes current manufacturing capacity and adoption across hundreds of towers. Replacing HEDP in Light-Duty Programs For hospitals, HVAC, and other light-duty systems, PHCs have fully replaced HEDP as the anodic corrosion inhibitor while keeping PBTC for scale, enabling lower total phosphorus formulations with equal or better performance compared to status-quo organics. Azole Enhancement, Free Copper, and Real-World Cost Field work showed PHCs chelate metals quickly, protecting azole demand when free copper is present (e.g., after oxidizer flushing) and reducing expensive azole overdosing. One university case dropped an adjunct 8-ppm azole feed by pairing the base 3–4 ppm azole with PHC, yielding both corrosion control and lower discharge costs. Second-Generation PHCs for Heavy-Duty Heat Flux (Toward “Neutral Phosphorus”) At higher heat flux and stabilized-phosphate conditions, a diacid-rich second-generation PHC proved more stable, enabling orthophosphate reduction and opening a path toward “neutral phosphorus” programs that leverage background phosphate in municipal make-up. Bench data also show synergy with trace metals (e.g., zinc). Biocide Potentiation and Where It Works Best PHCs remain stable with oxidizers like chlorine dioxide and bleach. Their most compelling synergy shows up with non-oxidizers and peracetic acid (PAA): as a biocide potentiator, PHCs can reduce the need to overdose actives such as THPS, glutaraldehyde, quats, and DBNPA by first complexing interfering metals (e.g., Fe/FeS), letting the biocide perform as intended. Not “Bug Food”: Pilot Cooling Towers and Oxidizer Demand To address the industry's biggest concern with bio-based chemistries, Solugen ran side-by-side outdoor pilot cooling towers under identical bleach control. Result: comparable oxidizer usage and consistently low counts versus HEDP—evidence that PHCs don't fuel biofilm. Chelation Mechanics, Polymer Savings, and White Rust PHCs chelate beyond acid-group stoichiometry thanks to multiple hydroxyls and conformational effects—critical for controlling dissolved metals and protecting films. In stressed heat-flux/chlorine conditions, PHCs reduced calcium-phosphate fouling versus HEDP, often allowing polymer dosage cuts. Early data also show promise for white-rust mitigation on galvanized systems, with the diacid-rich cut delivering the strongest reductions. For practitioners, the message is pragmatic: PHCs aren't “lab curiosities.” They're fielded at scale, enabling lower-phosphorus programs, protecting costly azole inventories, widening the operational window under oxidizer stress, and potentiating select biocides—while staying compatible with common metals. If you manage cooling assets under cost, compliance, and performance pressure, this episode gives you a clear technical playbook to evaluate.

Host Iman Mossavat welcomes Dr. Benjamin Paaßen, Junior Professor for Knowledge Representation and Machine Learning at Bielefeld University and researcher at the Educational Technology Lab at DFKI. Together, they examine the growing debate around using large language models (LLMs) as substitutes for human participants in psychological and educational research. Dr. Paaßen shares why replacing human input with machine responses risks producing misleading results, especially when subtle linguistic shifts reveal critical differences between human and AI reasoning. He stresses that while LLMs can be useful in narrow, text-based tasks validated against large sets of human data, they cannot replicate the depth of human cognition. The discussion highlights the limits of AI in research settings, the dangers of overestimating machine intelligence, and the importance of maintaining rigorous standards when integrating these tools into scientific work.Radio 4 Brainport, Eindhoven

In this episode, Laurence Joss speaks with Daniel Ryan, a UK attorney, about the challenges and realities of the court system, particularly in family law. They discuss the need for a fundamental change in how disputes are handled, the complexities of parental alienation, and the often negative outcomes of court proceedings. Daniel emphasizes the importance of understanding the court's limitations and the need for better resources and support for parents navigating these difficult situations. They also explore the role of children in court proceedings and envision a more inclusive and supportive family court system.Key TakeawaysThere needs to be a fundamental change in the court system.Nobody wins in court; everyone loses.Parental alienation is often misunderstood and mishandled in court.The court system is designed for conflict, not resolution.Children should be involved in the court process to minimize their impact.Judges often lack the psychological expertise needed for cases involving parental alienation.The current approach to parental alienation is overly simplistic.Mediation and counseling should be prioritized before court proceedings.The backlog in the court system exacerbates the issues faced by families.A more relaxed and inclusive court environment could benefit all parties involved.Chapters00:00 - The Need for Change in the Court System05:02 - Understanding the Reality of Court Proceedings09:41 - Parental Alienation: A Complex Issue15:03 - The Role of Children in Court Proceedings19:47 - Envisioning a Better Family Court SystemFor more detailed information, please click the link below:https://www.mckenziepicave.com/If you wish to connect with Lawrence Joss or any of the PA-A community members who have appeared as guests on the podcast:Email - familydisappeared@gmail.comLinktree: https://linktr.ee/lawrencejoss(All links mentioned in the podcast are available in Linktree)Please donate to support PAA programs:https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=SDLTX8TBSZNXSThis podcast is made possible by the Family Disappeared Team:Anna Johnson- Editor/Contributor/Activist/Co-hostGlaze Gonzales- Podcast ManagerConnect with Lawrence Joss:Website: https://parentalalienationanonymous.com/Email- familydisappeared@gmail.com
In this episode we dive head first into a thought-provoking article (compiled with the help of a range of AI tools) titled The Corruption of Contrology: How Egocentric Capitalism is Ripping the Heart Out of the Pilates Industry.As the PAA, we know that this article may strike a chord with our listeners, as the article paints a stark picture of how commercial pressures are impacting the integrity of Joseph Pilates' original method, which he called "Contrology". The article this podcast episode is based on argues that the focus of Pilates has shifted from the profound principles of movement efficiency, longevity, and holistic well-being to a more profit-driven approach. One of the many points the article raises is "The Mass Production of 'Pilates' – Quantity Over Quality" and discusses how major fitness chains and boutique studios are churning out instructors through weekend certifications, leading to a market flooded with underqualified teachers who lack a true understanding of the system of the Pilates method. Should you be concerned? Rather we encourage you to be discerning! The article highlights that in the pursuit of market dominance, Pilates has been reduced to a " fast-food version of itself—cheap, mass-produced, and devoid of substance". This obsession with volume means that precision and individualised movement coaching are often sacrificed for the sake of packing more bodies into a room. The article also notes the burnout experienced by instructors trying to manage these overcrowded classes.

Today on American Indian Airwaves (AIA), listeners will hear from the Climate Justice Organizer of the Pueblo Action Alliance, an Indigenous women and femme-led grassroots organization, which has been actively building both a community and a movement to resist false solutions being pushed across New Mexico and on Pueblo lands. In collaboration with the New Mexico No False Solutions Coalition, they successfully defeated eight state legislative bills promoting false solutions—including those advancing carbon capture, hydrogen, brackish and reclaimed water projects, and the reclassification of natural gas as renewable energy. The PAA's intent is to keep this coalition growing and continue building power across the state. With this year's turnout, Pueblo Action Alliance—alongside the No False Solutions Coalition—is setting the bar and offering a blueprint for how to build, empower, and uplift communities to defend the sacred from carbon colonialism. Listeners will hear this and more about the various successful campaigns of the PAA in defending the sacred in a “just transition”.

America faces a profound physical activity crisis that threatens our collective health, economy, and national security. The numbers are alarming: less than one in four adults and only one in six youth meet federal physical activity guidelines. One in three young people may be pre-diabetic. Only two in five young adults are fit enough to serve in our military. And the financial toll? A staggering $192 billion in annual healthcare costs directly linked to physical inactivity.In this urgent conversation, Michael Stack, President of the Physical Activity Alliance (PAA), introduces the groundbreaking "Move With Us" campaign—the organization's first major fundraising initiative designed to transform America from a culture of inactivity to a culture of movement. Stack articulates the crucial distinction between grassroots community programs and macro-level policy change, emphasizing that both approaches are essential but complementary sides of the same coin.The PAA has already made remarkable progress through standardizing physical activity measures in electronic health records, engaging CEOs to create activity-friendly workplaces, educating the public health workforce, hosting congressional briefings, and developing innovative exercise therapy programs. But to reach their bold goal—more than 50% of Americans meeting physical activity guidelines by 2050—they need partners from healthcare, business, education, and government sectors.Ready to be part of the solution? Whether you're passionate about youth health, workplace wellness, healthcare integration, or public policy, the Physical Activity Alliance invites you to collaborate in this vital mission. Together, we can create environments where movement becomes the default, not the exception. Share this episode with colleagues and decision-makers who understand that minute-for-minute, nothing impacts health more profoundly than physical activity.Show Notes Page: https://wellnessparadoxpod.com/episode145Our Host: Michael StackMichael Stack is the founder & CEO of Applied Fitness Solutions, the Michigan Moves Coalition and the More than Movement Foundation.

The power of philanthropic capital lies in its catalytic nature, says CEO of Philanthropy Asia Alliance (PAA) Shaun Seow. Synopsis: Every first and third Tuesday of the month, The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change. The world is becoming an increasingly risky place as the impacts of climate change and nature loss worsen. And there’s a growing need for more funding to limit the damage and improve the livelihoods of communities. But the problem is, funding from governments, especially aid money, is drying up in some places. The funding gap is huge but philanthropy is helping fill some of the void. Family offices, international foundations, wealthy individuals and more are stepping in and their money is vital in helping de-risk climate and nature investments to make them more palatable for private and government funders. Every dollar of philanthropic capital can mobilise $9 of additional funding. Together, the money can be directed towards vital areas, such as ocean health and coastal protection, sustainable land use, nature restoration and climate adaptation and much more. The end game is not band aid solutions, Shaun Seow, CEO of Philanthropy Asia Alliance, tells Audrey Tan and David Fogarty in this latest episode of Green Pulse. The end game is to de-risk and allow private capital to “work its magic”. Have a listen, and let us know what you think! Highlights of conversation (click/tap above): 1:20 How are philanthropies responding to the different environmental agendas, and funding gaps, of governments? 6:14 To what extent are philanthropies in Asia focusing on climate and catalytic funding? 12:42 How is PAA bringing together different funders? 18:54 What other areas can be a focus for philanthropies interested in Asia? 21:20 For catalytic capital, what are the key concerns for philanthropists in Asia? 25:15 As climate risks grow, are more foundations and wealthy individuals knocking on PAA’s door?

America stands at a critical health crossroads. Despite overwhelming evidence that physical activity is our most powerful health intervention, we remain a culture of inactivity. That's about to change.The Physical Activity Alliance has planted its flag with a Big Hairy Audacious Goal that will transform American health: By 2050, over 50% of the US population will meet the National Physical Activity Guidelines for both aerobic exercise and muscle strengthening. This ambitious target wasn't chosen arbitrarily—it represents the threshold at which we can truly call ourselves a "culture of physical activity" rather than inactivity.As president of the PAA, our host, Michael Stack, has conducted extensive listening sessions with stakeholders across the physical activity spectrum who consistently identified this cultural transformation as our ultimate measure of success. The PAA's BHAG meets all the criteria needed for transformative change: it's bold yet achievable, clear and compelling, long-term focused, inspiring, measurable, and capable of aligning diverse stakeholders under a common purpose.Achieving this goal demands a whole-society approach. The PAA is leading through initiatives like "It's Time to Move," which aims to make physical activity assessment, prescription, and referral the standard of care in medicine. We're collaborating with federal partners and working on implementing the National Physical Activity Plan across states. But we also need grassroots engagement from every sector—healthcare, education, business, community planning, and more.This moment represents a unique inflection point for physical activity in America. There's unprecedented alignment both within and outside government to elevate movement as a primary health intervention. Download the National Physical Activity Plan from our show notes and ask yourself: what role will you play in transforming America into a nation where movement is woven into our cultural fabric? Join us in making this BHAG our shared reality.Show Notes Page: https://www.wellnessparadoxpod.com/podcast/episode/144Our Host: Michael StackMichael Stack is the founder & CEO of Applied Fitness Solutions, the Michigan Moves Coalition and the More than Movement Foundation.

These are confusing times, and hard times to work in a small business. As Bart Watson of the Brewers Association recently said, beer makers really dislike uncertainty. So, how can anyone plan when the global supply chain is changing minute by minute? On this epidode we talk about how to budget for the unknown. The last few months have seen a fire hose of news coming out of Washington D.C., a lot centered around tariffs and global trade. Admittedly, it's difficult to do a show on the topic because of the chaotic nature of the rollout from the White House and how seemingly concrete plans crumble minutes after they are announced. This obviously creates uncertainty in the markets and on main street. This episode features two conversations that center around what might be coming and how to best prepare. Bart Watson the president and CEO of the Brewers Association talks about the bigger picture and then Audra Gaiziunas of Brewed for Her Ledger tells us how you can best budget for uncertainty.
