Welcome to episode 184 of the Gnar Couch Podshow. We braved rare severe Utah thunderstorms, insane traffic, and stuffed our bikes in Corvettes this weekend to bring you Bienvenido Aguado, who shares everything from his front flip stories to how he manages to keep things fun when the pressure's on. As always, there's some friendly roasting, plenty of self-deprecating humor, and a healthy dose of just figuring it out as we go. We get into what it's really like to train for Rampage, the weirdness of telling someone your real name at a coffee shop, and weigh good vibes vs podiums. If you're here for polished interviews, you've taken a wrong turn. But if you want a look at the mountain bike scene that's raw, real, and maybe a little ridiculous, you're in the right place.

What if the real secret to growing your advisory practice isn't found in working harder—but in who you surround yourself with? In this episode, I share why associating with like-minded advisors is one of the most powerful levers for success. From collapsing years of trial-and-error into months, to getting accountability, honest feedback, and new perspectives that crush blind spots—your community can determine how far and how fast you go.

"If you can get somebody who will listen with you, read with you, talk with you, explore with you along these same kinds of things, your odds go up dramatically for actually making a difference in your organization."Karen & Paul talk about the benefits of having a 'learning buddy' when working on relational skills and collaborative practices. They highlight that while learning alone can provide some insights, collaborating with a small group can significantly enhance the learning process through shared reflection, feedback, and combined efforts.

A Clare senator claims people with disabilities still aren't living lives "equal to those of their peers". Ennistymon Senator Martin Conway has called for debate on the National Human Rights Strategy for Disabled People 2025 to 2030, which was launched by the Government this month. It's his second contribution in Seanad Éireann since resigning from the Fine Gael parliamentary party in February of this year. Speaking in the Seanad, Senator Conway says any new strategy must ensure people with disabilities have access to the services and supports they need.

Nach der Sommerpause (21.09.2025) sprechen Sascha Lang und Jennifer Sonntag offen über Mobbing – besonders bei Kindern.Ein Tag nach dem Weltkindertag fragen wir: Wie gelingt frühe Inklusion wirklich?Im Fokus stehen Grund- und weiterführende Schulen – Mobbing durch Mitschüler*innen, aber auch durch Strukturen und teils Lehrkräfte.Jenny teilt Erfahrungen aus Regel- und Sehbehindertenschule; Sascha erinnert an harte Grundschuljahre und solidarische Peers im Gymnasium.Klar wird: Mobbing passiert auch „in der Glaskugel“ – in speziellen Förder-Settings und sogar innerhalb von Communities.Strukturelle Hürden wie fehlende Hilfsmittel, unvorbereitete Schulen, mangelnde Orientierung/Assistenz und Behördenstress schwächen Kinder zusätzlich.Wir sprechen über das gesellschaftliche Klima: Ellenbogendenken, konservative und rechte Diskurse – warum Haltung und Sprache an Schulen zählen.Langzeitfolgen sind real: Schweigekultur, Täter-Opfer-Umkehr, psychische Belastung – Muster, die bis in Ausbildung und Job nachwirken.Was hilft? Vertrauenspersonen, klare Anlaufstellen und ernst nehmen statt „Zähne zusammenbeißen“.Empowerment heißt Sichtbarkeit: offen reden, Betroffene schützen – Scham muss die Seite wechseln.Vorbildwirkung: Öffentliche Stimmen, die eigene Mobbingerfahrungen teilen, geben Eltern und Schüler*innen Orientierung.Ausblick: In einer kommenden Folge mit Rehakind zeigen Studien, dass gute Hilfsmittelversorgung bei Kindern Entwicklung messbar stärkt.Unser Appell: Mehr Aufklärung, vernetzte Verbände, gemeinsame Aktionen statt Parallelstrukturen.Eure Perspektiven sind gefragt: Teilt Erlebnisse (gern anonym) – wir sammeln für eine mögliche Feedback-Folge im November/Dezember.Kontakt & Sprachnachrichten über unsere bekannten Kanäle/Profilseiten – oder per Mail an sonntagtrifftigel@inklusator.com Hier geht es zu Jennifer Sonntag: www.jennifer-sonntag.de Links zum IGEL Podcast Podcast „IGEL – Inklusion Ganz Einfach Leben“ https://igel-inklusion-ganz-einfach-leben.letscast.fm/ Webseite: www.igelmedia.com Socialmedia: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/igelpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/igelpodcast_by_saschalang/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sascha-lang-859421297/ Feedback: sonntagtrifftigel@inklusator.com

The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill has cleared another key hurdle: it was given a Second Reading in the House of Lords without a formal vote. But Peers have agreed to set up a special select committee to hear evidence from Ministers, professional bodies and legal experts before the Bill goes any further. That decision pushes the detailed clause-by-clause scrutiny back to mid-November and could shape the Bill's prospects in unexpected ways. In this episode we explore the procedural twists and political manoeuvring behind that decision. ___ Please help us improve Parliament Matters by completing our Listener Survey. It will only take a few minutes.Go to: https://podcastsurvey.typeform.com/to/QxigqshS To help unpick what happened and what it all means, we are joined this week by Dr Daniel Gover, Senior Lecturer in British Politics at Queen Mary University of London and an authority on Private Members' Bills, and Matthew England from the Hansard Society, whose briefings on the Bill have tracked everything from procedure to delegated powers. The debate at Second Reading showcased powerful speeches and some striking personal interventions. Beyond the moral arguments, Peers zeroed in on the Bill's constitutional and procedural implications – especially the sweeping delegated powers that drew sharp criticism from the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee. Lord Falconer, the Bill's sponsor in the Lords, signalled his support for amendments to the Bill to address some of the Committee's concerns. The Government's role also came under the spotlight. Some peers bristled at the cancellation of the Lords' recess to complete the Second Reading debate, and critics accused ministers of tilting the timetable to favour the Bill. We consider whether those claims really hold up. The biggest twist, though, was the compromise deal negotiated between Lord Falconer and Baroness Berger to establish a temporary select committee. It will gather evidence from ministers, the medical and legal professions and the hospice sector, and publish its findings by 7 November, far earlier than originally proposed. Crucially, the committee will not be required to recommend whether the Bill should proceed or be amended, but the evidence it collects will frame the clause-by-clause scrutiny that is now expected to begin in mid-November, with four sittings scheduled before Christmas. The committee's membership and witness list are still to be decided, but the stage is set for a short, sharp inquiry whose findings could shape the next—and most testing—phase of this landmark legislation.

Welcome to episode 135 of the Testing Peers Podcast. This time join Chris, Russell, David and the returning Jon Robinson as we talk all things AI in testing.Artificial intelligence is already reshaping how we approach testing, QA and quality. But what happens when the pace of change accelerates? In this episode, the Peers explore what AI might mean for our profession, our skills and the value we bring.We discuss:The future of QA roles in the next 3–5 years and which functions may fade or evolve.Why exploratory testing could become more important as AI takes on repetitive checking.The risk of over-reliance on AI tools, from hallucinations to “blind hope” in outputs.New skills testers may need: data literacy, training and validating models, and critical thinking about outputs.Shifts in business mindsets: AI as a cost-cutting tool vs AI as an enabler.The challenges of scalability, maintainability and sustainability when using AI.Ethical and legal concerns around data sharing, intellectual property and training models.How diverse skills and perspectives remain crucial for testing in an AI-driven future.Along the way, we touch on topics from token debt and environmental impact, to healthcare examples, to why trust and human experience still matter.#PeersCon26 Call for Collaborations for written and video submissions until September 30th 2025, and also for VolunPeers.

Likefolio's Andy Swan shares sentiment data around Airbnb (ABNB), arguing that it is “lagging peers and under pressure.” The novelty has “worn off” for Airbnb and it has a “long way to go before any sort of turnaround is complete,” he adds. Fees, inconsistent experiences, and other factors are pushing travelers to hotels, while rivals like Vrbo take market share.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Blueprint Podcast.   In this episode, Shiv Haria sits down with Garrett Peers, founder of Building Futures and a property entrepreneur with a portfolio worth over £100 million across the UK and Ireland. We're excited to welcome Garrett back to the podcast as he celebrates completing his Financial Fortress.   Garrett shares the story of how his company helps cash-rich investors transform underperforming properties into thriving communities and reflects on the growth of his portfolio over the past five years. He explains the early challenges he faced in property entrepreneurship, from buying well and managing refurbishments, to securing funding and navigating the chaos of running a business without systems, processes, or professionalism.   Garrett describes how joining Property Entrepreneur transformed his approach, introducing systems such as dashboards, scorecards, and SLPs, and helping him put “the right people in the right seats.” He highlights the lessons learned from hiring the wrong people, and how using predictive indexing and culture fit tools now ensures stronger recruitment and team management. With proper systems and processes in place, Garrett has been able to increase profitability, reduce workload, handle larger deals, and set his sights on building a billion-dollar company.   The conversation also explores Garrett's personal journey, moving from burnout and poor health to running marathons, losing weight, and achieving a greater sense of balance and self-worth. He credits Property Entrepreneur and its community with helping him focus on health, wealth, and life by design, and speaks about the value of surrounding himself with the right peer group.   Garrett leaves listeners with three key nuggets of advice: build systems and processes early so you don't have to unravel things later, choose partners whose values and purpose align with yours, and play the long game by focusing on compounding growth and long-term relationships. His story is a powerful example of how property entrepreneurship is not just about building wealth, but about creating freedom, clarity, and a sustainable life.   Guest: Garrett Peers – Property Entrepreneur member for 5 years, £100m+ portfolio builder, and proof that when you hire right, systemise early, and play the long game, both your business and your life will grow beyond measure.   Success and failure are both very predictable.   I hope you enjoy.   Ready to stop working in your portfolio and start working on your business? The Property Entrepreneur Programme is your blueprint to transform from stressed landlord to high-net-worth entrepreneur.

After a week of chaos and crisis for the Government following the dramatic sacking of Peter Mandelson as US Ambassador, George Parker speaks to Labour peer, Margaret Hodge, and Labour backbencher, Clive Lewis, about the operation in Downing Street, the party's deputy leadership contest and the mood among MPs.As the Assisted Dying Bill returns to Parliament this week, George is joined by Labour peer, Lord Falconer, who is sponsoring the Bill through the Lords, and Conservative peer, Mark Harper, an opponent of assisted dying.Peers have recently been venting their anger about the new door to the House of Lords which hasn't been working properly.

It's one of the most awkward, emotionally charged leadership shifts out there.In this episode of Promoted: Stop Doubting, Start Leading, Karen Gombault walks you through how to manage this transition without losing authority, overcompensating, or shrinking yourself.

We chat about Louisville's peer cities on the Access Louisville podcast this week.Louisville Business First Reporter Stephen P. Schmidt recently wrapped up a story on the topic. While the list of Louisville's peers definitely varies depending on who's being asked a few things were clear. First, Cincinnati, Indianapolis or Nashville, Tennessee — who we often like to compare ourselves to — are not really our peers because they are much bigger now than they used to be. Instead Memphis, Tennessee, Birmingham, Alabama and others are closer comparisons to Louisville. During the show, we also discuss some ideas that Louisville could steal from other cities. Removing I-64 from the Downtown Louisville riverfront is one suggestion we come up with, as other cities have had success opening their riverfronts. Another suggestion we land on is a riverwalk in the vein of San Antonio — something Louisville has looked at in the past, including on a recent Greater Louisville Inc. trip.In the second half of the show, we talk about Kentucky's resurgent manufacturing economy. Schmidt recently visited Ford Motor Co.'s Louisville Assembly Plant to cover news of a new electric vehicle manufacturing process that's being launched in support of Ford's upcoming (and yet unnamed) midsize EV truck. We talk about how Ford's launch compares with what Toyota is doing at its plant in Georgetown, Kentucky. During the show, I reference a recent interview I did with the president of Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky, which you can read here, in which we discussed EVs.Schmidt also visited GE Appliances's Louisville operation to check out a recently unveiled manufacturing line there. And we chat about the news that Corning will begin manufacturing 100% of iPhone and Apple Watch glass at its facility in Harrodsburg, Kentucky. Does this mean that the manufacturing industry is finally making a comeback? We chat about it on the show. Access Louisville is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First. It's available on popular podcast services including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

The desire to pursue a passion can be a powerful motivator for individuals, often driving them to learn and grow despite feelings of unqualification or inexperience. This theme is vividly illustrated in this podcast episode featuring tattoo artist Chris Crooks, who shares his journey into the world of tattooing with host Aaron Della Vedova. From a young age, Chris was immersed in tattoo culture, with both of his grandfathers and his father sporting tattoos. This early exposure ignited a desire within him to become a tattoo artist, even before he fully understood the craft. He reflects on how the "desire to do it was bigger than the capabilities," highlighting a common experience among many who pursue their passions. This intrinsic motivation propelled him to acquire the skills necessary for success in tattooing, despite his initial lack of experience. Aaron sits down with Chris at Gods of Ink in Frankfurt, Germany. Aaron reflects on the tattoo artist journey that is rarely straightforward and lacks a clear roadmap.  The conversation explores the intricacies of the tattooing process and the passion that fuels artists in this creative field.

“According to research, approximately 61 percent of U.S. teenagers never read the Bible, and 74 percent don't attend church regularly. That means well over half of middle and high school students in our nation aren't disciples and likely haven't put their faith in God. As followers of Jesus, what are we going to do about this?” asks Lee Rogers. He goes on to say: “Today in our nation there are over thirty-three million students in over sixty-nine thousand middle and high schools. Only 23 percent of those schools are known to have a campus missionary or a gospel-sharing club present. That leaves over fifty-three thousand schools with no known gospel-sharing presence. As Spirit-empowered witnesses, what are we going to do about this? In this episode of the Influence Podcast, I talk to Rogers about how to train students to evangelize their peers. I'm George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. Lee Rogers is director of Student Evangelism for Assemblies of God Youth Ministries and is general editor of The Campus Missionary Guidebook, published by Gospel Publishing House. ————— This episode of the Influence Podcast is brought to you by My Healthy Church, distributors of The Holy Spirit in the Life of the Discipler.
