Nick Hudson is an actuary with broad international experience in finance, who has settled into a career as a private equity investor. He is a man of wide-ranging interests—an avid reader of canonical literature, a classical music aficionado, and an enthusiastic amateur ornithologist. He has been invited to speak on various topics including epistemology, corporate governance, investment management, and more recently, the Covid 19 pandemic.Nick is the founder and chairman of Pandemics Data and Analytics (PANDA), a South African organization founded in April 2020 with the mission of promoting open science, human agency, and courageous societies. However, in just that short period of time, the organization now has members from more than 30 countries. They aim to empower the public with accurate information thereby enabling individuals to exercise freedom of choice and preserve human liberties and free societies, which are at more threat now than at anytime since World War II. PANDA is composed of a group of multi-disciplinary professionals who perceived the global reaction to Covid, and lockdown in particular, as overwrought and damaging to the point of causing a great tear in the fabric of society. They are politically and economically independent, and seek to develop science-based explanations and test them against international data that can then be used as a proven foundation for recommendations to governments and other institutions to develop actual science-based policy.PANDA stands for open science and rational debate, for replacing flawed science with good science and for retrieving liberty and prosperity from the clutches of a dystopian “new normal”.Join us as we explore: How Nick could no longer stay quiet knowing about the deception around the Covid 19 pandemicWhy there is so much common ground between people of varying political views when it comes to the existential threat of the pandemic responseHow the pandemic response facilitated the biggest transfer of wealth in the history of the worldThe capture of government, academic and media by corporate forcesHow the “science” being reported in the media is corrupted and censored Why lockdowns don't work, haven't worked and will never workThe politicization of everything and whyThe wrongheadedness of mass vaccination, PCR tests, lockdowns, masksIf people with natural immunity from prior infection should get vaccinatedHow this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated is pure propaganda Why variants are likely to be the reason for the variant accelerationWhat you can do right now to unplug from the COVID narrativeWhat the true evil is now, and no it's not COVID19Nick's message for everyone – it's time for courageIs there hope for the future of science and public institutions?Support the show on Patreon:As much as we love doing it, there are costs involved and any contribution will allow us to keep going and keep finding the best guests in the world to share their health expertise with you.

Michelle's earliest memories from childhood all relate to money. And yet, the stories and lessons learned from different branches of her family tree couldn't be more dichotomous!Michelle has used the money lessons from her life to rethink how financial advisors and their clients have traditionally worked together. Rather than thinking of her role as a gatekeeper of portfolios, she sees real value in being a gateway to personal financial freedom.To support her clients on their unique wealth journeys, Michelle is a technician of financial planning, investment, and wealth management. But what differentiates Michelle from other financial advisors is that she has spent the last two-plus decades studying the unconventional, non-financial aspects of life satisfaction, financial therapy (it's a thing), behavioral bias, choice, and decision advising.She believes we all need to examine the money stories, scripts, and lessons that affect our financial psychology so that we can rethink what we know about money to have more of it.Michelle lives in Wyckoff, NJ with her husband, Mike and sons, Alex and Nick. She is an avid photographer – her sons are her favorite subject!What you will learn in this episode:How Michelle received what she calls “a familial education in the emotional side of money”, and what lessons she learned growing up with wealthy but spendthrift parentsHow Michelle had a pivotal moment when her father bought a yacht but told her he couldn't afford to pay for her college education, and what lasting impact this experience had on her lifeHow Michelle experienced a deep sense of “money shame” dealing with the fact that her parents were spendthriftsWhat key fears people are experiencing related to money, scarcity and emotional health during the pandemicWhy our experience of the passage of time is both accelerating and slowing down due to the pandemic and the dramatic life changes we are forced to make to adaptWhy Michelle believes that people who are feeling a heightened sense of urgency should consider if things are really that urgent and should instead try to slow things downWhy social distancing provides an opportunity to slow things down and truly consider your goals and the next steps you need to take to get thereHow Michelle recommends parents who are dealing with financial crises speak to their kids about unexpected changesHow the global COVID-19 pandemic is creating a generational change moment that will leave permanent lasting changesWhat “financial therapy” is and how it can help people better understand their emotional and mental connection to moneyResources:Website: https://michelleab.com/LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/michellearpinbeginacfp/Additional Resources:Website: sharonspano.comBook: thetimemoneybook.comEvents: sharonspano.com/workshopsContact: sharon@sharonspano.comTwitter: @SharonSpano

Over the last 18 months or so, I have been a loud advocate for yoga teachers not relying on studios & gyms for their sole source of income. In Australia, the median rate of pay for yoga teachers is around $50 AUD per class. At 15 classes per week, a teacher would make $750.00. The national minimum wage is $753.80.⁠We all know that to teach a 60 min class, at a bare minimum, a teacher needs to be at the studio/gym for 15 minutes before/after class. Let's be moderate, and add 1 hour per class for travel & prep time. This means to teach 15, 60 min classes, a teacher is required to invest at least 38 hours of their time. Teaching 15 classes is a full-time job.⁠However, as a previous studio owner myself, I don’t think this reality means that we need to pit yoga teachers & studio owners against each other. My guest, Thy Monzo has owned a yoga studio in Sydney for the last 6 years, and in today’s conversation Cora and Thy get real about the reality of owning a yoga studio. We also chat about the role that a yoga studio can play in a teachers career, and why a blended business model could support both the teacher and the studios. ABOUT THY Thy began practicing yoga over 15 years ago as a way to find calm and peace from the stresses of University, and everyday life. After her first yoga class (ashtanga), she felt amazing. Breathing, sweating, and fully living in the moment, she had never felt more connected to life. Thy believes that the best part of teaching is learning; learning more about the postures, about people and their bodies, and more about herself. Her classes are fun and dynamic, with a sense of lightness. Her hope is that students carry their positive energy from practice, off their mats and into their daily lives.PODCAST HIGHLIGHTSThy’s vision for opening her studio in 2015 with Modo YogaWhy Thy decided to not renew her franchise contact with Modo YogaThe reality of running a yoga studio during the pandemicWhy there's no such thing as an overnight success How Thy is balancing teachers pay rates with other opportunities to increase their earning potentialMaking pay rates transparent, and creating a clear pathway to growth for teachersWhat it means to be entrepreneurial inside of a studio communityThy’s best advice for anyone wanting to start a yoga studio in 2021FIND THY MONZOThy’s personal InstagramNow Yoga InstagramNow Yoga WebsiteFIND CORACora’s NewsletterThe Teachers ClubCora’s InstagramFor links & resources mentioned in this episode go to www.corageroux.com/episode64Support the show (https://www.corageroux.com/theteachersclub)
