Banche ancora protagoniste a Piazza Affari, mentre le principali partite del risiko sono ormai entrate nel vivo. A guidare i rialzi sono ancora Banca Monte Paschi Siena e Mediobanca, a pochi giorni dall'assemblea di Piazzetta Cuccia che ha negato al cda l'autorizzazione a procedere con l'operazione Banca Generali e ha lasciato quindi campo libero all'offerta di Rocca Salimbeni su Mediobanca. I riflettori oggi si sono spostati anche su Unicredit e Commerzbank. Piazza Gae Auelenti si è infatti rafforzata come principale azionista dell'istituto tedesco, proseguendo nella conversione in azioni della propria posizione sintetica nella banca tedesca e portando a circa il 26% la propria partecipazione azionaria, anche nei diritti di voto. Un'operazione che non piace al governo tedesco. Ne parliamo con Laura Bonadies di Radiocor Il Sole 24 ORE.Powell apre a un taglio dei tassi di interesse: la reazioni dei mercatiVenerdì Jerome Powell, nel suo ultimo intervento come presidente della Federal Reserve al simposio di Jackson Hole, in Wyoming, ha sottolineato come «l'equilibrio dei rischi fra occupazione e inflazione è ora mutato e questo apre la porta a un cambiamento dell'orientamento di politica monetaria». Con la ripresa della settimana gli investitori guardano, da un lato, alla possibile ripresa del ciclo di allentamento del costo del denaro da parte della Fed dopo questa apertura mentre dall'altro si preparano ai risultati del colosso dei chip Nvidia (in calendario mercoledì 27 agosto), indicatore cruciale della salute del comparto tecnologico e dell'intelligenza artificiale. Il commento con Antonio Cesarano, Chief Global Strategist di Intermonte.Le banche per il sociale e il territorioCi colleghiamo con Stefano Barrese, responsabile della Divisione banca dei territori di Intesa Sanpaolo, che è intervenuto venerdì nell'ambito del Meeting di Rimini ricordando che «attraverso la struttura Intesa Sanpaolo per il sociale sono state stanziate risorse in campo sociale per 1,5 miliardi di euro entro il 2027, realizzando dal 2022 ad oggi 60,3 milioni di interventi, con oltre 49 milioni di pasti, 4,3 milioni di posti letto, 6,3 milioni di medicinali e 621mila capi di abbigliamento. Con lui ci confrontiamo sul ruolo chiave che una grande banca può avere nell'ambito della coesione sociale e del sostegno al territorio.Pensioni, il piano per il ritiro a 64 anni con il Tfr e 25 di contributiL'intenzione del governo è sempre più chiara: non far scattare dal 2027 l'innalzamento dell'età pensionistica a 67 anni e 3 mesi in base all'aumento dell'aspettativa di vita. Una nuova conferma in questa direzione l'ha data il sottosegretario al Lavoro, Claudio Durigon, ipotizzando la la possibilità volontaria di andare in pensione a 64 anni con 25 di contributi, ora prevista per chi sta nel sistema contributivo, a tutti i lavoratori, quindi anche a quelli che hanno cominciato prima del 1996 e stanno nel sistema misto. Il tutto volontariamente e con una novità: la possibilità, sempre su base volontaria, di usare anche il Tfr depositato presso l'Inps come rendita per raggiungere la soglia minima di pensione, pari a tre volte l assegno sociale (1.616 euro), che dà accesso alla pensione a 64 anni. Ci colleghiamo proprio con il sottosegretario Durigon.

Fluent Fiction - Italian: Piazza Success: How An Art Festival Transformed Two Lives Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/it/episode/2025-08-22-22-34-02-it Story Transcript:It: La folla riempiva Piazza San Marco sotto il calore del sole estivo.En: The crowd filled Piazza San Marco under the heat of the summer sun.It: Era Ferragosto, e il festival d'arte estiva era in pieno svolgimento.En: It was Ferragosto, and the summer art festival was in full swing.It: Le bancarelle colorate decoravano la piazza come un arcobaleno vivente, ognuna offrendo una diversa visione del mondo artistico.En: The colorful stalls decorated the square like a living rainbow, each offering a different vision of the artistic world.It: In questo vivace scenario, Giulia, una studentessa d'arte di Firenze, contemplava le sue opere esposte.En: In this lively setting, Giulia, an art student from Florence, contemplated her displayed works.It: Il cuore le batteva forte.En: Her heart was racing.It: Giulia si asciugò il sudore dalla fronte.En: Giulia wiped the sweat from her forehead.It: Le sue tele erano piene di colori vivaci e storie invisibili, ma la sua insicurezza offuscava il suo spirito.En: Her canvases were full of vibrant colors and invisible stories, but her insecurity clouded her spirit.It: Aveva bisogno di far conoscere le sue opere ma temeva il giudizio.En: She needed to make her works known, but she feared judgment.It: Dall'altro lato della piazza, Lorenzo, un veneziano appassionato di arte e cultura, si muoveva tra la folla.En: On the other side of the square, Lorenzo, a Venetian passionate about art and culture, moved through the crowd.It: Giornalista per una rivista di viaggi, cercava una storia unica da raccontare.En: A journalist for a travel magazine, he was searching for a unique story to tell.It: Ma ovunque si voltasse, c'erano opere eccezionali, e la scelta sembrava impossibile.En: But wherever he turned, there were exceptional works, and the choice seemed impossible.It: Sentendo il bisogno di un parere sincero, e intuendo in Lorenzo una figura interessata all'arte, Giulia decise di fare un passo avanti.En: Feeling the need for an honest opinion and sensing in Lorenzo a figure interested in art, Giulia decided to take a step forward.It: "Ciao," disse con un sorriso timido, "Scusami, ma potresti dare un'occhiata alle mie opere?En: "Hi," she said with a shy smile, "Excuse me, but could you take a look at my works?It: Mi piacerebbe avere il tuo parere."En: I would love to have your opinion."It: Lorenzo, colpito dalla sincerità di Giulia, acconsentì con entusiasmo.En: Lorenzo, struck by Giulia's sincerity, agreed enthusiastically.It: Si avvicinò alle sue tele e osservò con attenzione.En: He approached her canvases and observed them attentively.It: Era affascinato dalla forza delle emozioni che saltavano fuori dai colori e dalle linee.En: He was fascinated by the strength of the emotions that leapt out from the colors and lines.It: "Mentre guardo i tuoi quadri, sento un desiderio di raccontare storie.En: "As I look at your paintings, I feel a desire to tell stories.It: Sono storie che ancora devo ascoltare," disse Lorenzo, colpito da una rivelazione improvvisa.En: They are stories I have yet to hear," said Lorenzo, struck by a sudden revelation.It: Capì che la storia unica che cercava non si trovava nelle tele ma nel viaggio personale di Giulia.En: He realized that the unique story he was searching for wasn't in the canvases but in Giulia's personal journey.It: Deciso a scrivere di lei e della sua passione genuina, Lorenzo iniziò a farle domande, scoprendo il cuore dietro ogni pennellata.En: Determined to write about her and her genuine passion, Lorenzo began to ask her questions, discovering the heart behind every brushstroke.It: Scrisse un articolo ispirato e profondo, sottolineando l'emozione e la sincerità delle opere di Giulia.En: He wrote an inspired and deep article, highlighting the emotion and sincerity of Giulia's works.It: Nei giorni seguenti, l'articolo di Lorenzo fu pubblicato e attirò molta attenzione.En: In the following days, Lorenzo's article was published and attracted much attention.It: Critici e appassionati di arte si fermarono a visitare lo stand di Giulia durante il festival.En: Critics and art enthusiasts stopped by to visit Giulia's stand during the festival.It: Le sue opere ricevettero elogi e nuovi ammiratori.En: Her works received praise and new admirers.It: Giulia, con il viso illuminato da un nuovo senso di fiducia, sorrideva agli spettatori, finalmente riconosciuta per il suo talento.En: Giulia, with her face lit by a newfound sense of confidence, smiled at the spectators, finally recognized for her talent.It: Allo stesso tempo, Lorenzo capì il valore delle storie personali, quelle che spesso rimangono nascoste sotto la superficie.En: At the same time, Lorenzo understood the value of personal stories, those that often remain hidden beneath the surface.It: Così, nella vibrante cornice di Piazza San Marco, due anime si incontrarono e trovarono esattamente ciò di cui avevano bisogno: Giulia trovò la convalida e Lorenzo una storia unica da raccontare, dimostrando che a volte, le risposte si trovano nei luoghi più inattesi.En: So, in the vibrant setting of Piazza San Marco, two souls met and found exactly what they needed: Giulia found validation, and Lorenzo a unique story to tell, proving that sometimes, answers are found in the most unexpected places.

''Mia Moglie'', il gruppo dell'orrore su Facebook, dove la violenza privata diventa spettacolo pubblico. Ma il discorso non è così semplice.Perché dentro al gruppo ''Mia Moglie'' non c'erano ''32.000 maniaci'', ma un fenomeno più complesso, fatto probabilmente principalmente da semplici voyeur (''che male c'è, sono un guardone''). Ma questo NON li esonera dalla responsabilità: la presenza (acclarata e incontestabile) di decine di vittime era una palese complicità in una violenza che trasformava l'intimità in uno spettacolo pubblico.E al contrario dei ''proclami'', la chiusura del gruppo non è ''la vittoria'': l'obiettivo reale non è cancellare il problema, cosa impossibile, ma mitigare il danno, ridurre l'esposizione e la portata del fenomeno, sapendo che, come un'idra, rinascerà altrove, ma forse più piccolo.Uno scenario alimentato da due dinamiche potenti: da un lato, la de-responsabilizzazione dove il singolo, protetto dalla folla, perde le inibizioni e nessuno si sente pienamente responsabile.Dall'altro, il paradosso della denuncia: l'ondata di sdegno, condividendo il nome del gruppo, ha finito per ri-vittimizzare le persone esposte, alimentando la curiosità morbosa e ampliando a dismisura la platea della loro umiliazione.La vera sfida non è ''solo'' chiudere i gruppi, ma tutelare le vittime senza che la nostra stessa attenzione diventi un'arma contro di loro. E lavorare sul piano sociale, invece che chiedere un soluzionismo tecnologico che, come sappiamo, fa più male che bene...~~~~~ INGAGGI E SPONSORSHIP ~~~~~ Per contatti commerciali: sales@matteoflora.comPer consulenze legali: info@42LawFirm.it~~~~~ SOSTIENI IL CANALE! ~~~~~Con la Membership PRO puoi supportare il Canale » https://link.mgpf.it/proSe vuoi qui la mia attrezzatura » https://mgpf.it/attrezzatura~~~~~ SEGUIMI ANCHE ONLINE CON LE NOTIFICHE! ~~~~~» CANALE WHATSAPP » https://link.mgpf.it/wa» CANALE TELEGRAM » https://mgpf.it/tg» CORSO (Gratis) IN FUTURO » https://mgpf.it/nl» NEWSLETTER » https://mgpf.it/nl~~~~~ CIAO INTERNET E MATTEO FLORA ~~~~~ Questo è “Ciao Internet!” la prima e più seguita trasmissione di TECH POLICY in lingua italiana, online su YouTube e in Podcast.Io sono MATTEO FLORA e sono:» Professore in Fondamenti di Sicurezza delle AI e delle SuperIntelligenze (ESE)» Professore ac in Corporate Reputation e Crisis Management (Pavia).Sono un Imprenditore Seriale del digitale e ho fondato:» The Fool » https://thefool.it - La società italiana leader di Customer Insight» The Magician » https://themagician.agency - Atelier di Advocacy e Gestione della Crisi» 42 Law Firm » https://42lf.it - Lo Studio Legale per la Trasformazione Digitale » ...e tante altre qui: https://matteoflora.com/#aziendeSono Future Leader (IVLP) del Dipartimento di Stato USA sotto Amministrazione Obama nel programma “Combating Cybercrime (2012)”.Sono Presidente di PermessoNegato, l'associazione italiana che si occupa di Pornografia Non- Consensuale e Revenge Porn.Conduco in TV “Intelligenze Artificiali” su Mediaset/TgCom.

Finally, they discuss the Pohlad family's "will they, won't they" sell the Twins saga and the despair it's spawning in Twins fans.Links:Sign up for the TP KC tailgate!⁠Join the Tipping Pitches Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠(Use code PIAZZA for 50% off)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tipping Pitches merchandise ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Call the Tipping Pitches voicemail: 785-422-5881Tipping Pitches features original music from Steve Sladkowski of PUP.

Bobby and Alex run through a grab bag of news topics that have happened in the last two weeks, including the relatively large failure of the Bristol Motor Speedway game, Rob Manfred on Pardon My Take, Roman Anthony's extension with the Red Sox, and an article in the New York Times on the legacy of Rays owner Stu Sternberg as he heads toward selling the team later this year.Links:NYT Magazine on SternbergJoin the Tipping Pitches Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠(Use code PIAZZA for 50% off)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tipping Pitches merchandise ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Call the Tipping Pitches voicemail: 785-422-5881Tipping Pitches features original music from Steve Sladkowski of PUP.

Due delle voci più amate e iconiche del panorama musicale italiano uniscono per la prima volta i loro mondi in una collaborazione straordinaria: Annalisa per il suo nuovo singolo “Piazza San Marco” coinvolge Marco Mengoni, un incontro artistico che promette di regalare un intenso viaggio emotivo, così come suggerito anche dal titolo della canzone. “Piazza San Marco”, in uscita il 5 settembre, è una ballad in bianco e nero, un racconto cinematografico in cui i protagonisti si confidano trovando supporto una nell'altro. Un connubio vocale e narrativo sorprendete, sullo sfondo maestoso di uno dei luoghi più iconici del mondo.  Il brano sarà contenuto nel nuovo album di Annalisa “Ma io sono fuoco” in uscita nell'autunno 2025 e segue il suo nuovo percorso discografico iniziato a maggio con il singolo “Maschio” che si è mantenuto stabile nella Top 10 della classifica FIMI per settimane, facendole raggiungere il record come donna italiana con il maggior numero di ingressi nella Top 10 della classifica FIMI e tra le tre artiste femminili più ascoltate su Spotify. #Annalisa #Mengoni Learn more about your ad choices.

In a previously unmatched act of absurdity here on the Tipping Pitches podcast, Bobby and Alex are joined by friend of the show and GQ writer Matthew Roberson to sample eight alcohols that are owned or prominently sponsored by Major League Baseball players, coaches, or owners. Most notably, they kick it off with Mike Piazza's failed vodka, the alcohol which birthed this very idea on the podcast months ago.To listen to part two (two more hours!!), head over to patreon.com/tippingpitches and sign up at the Alex Rodriguez VIP Club Tier.

It began with a simple question: what's the most impractical thing you have ever traveled with? Little did we know it would turn into one of our favorite (and perhaps silliest episodes) as Tiffany reminisces about her earliest trips abroad in the 1990s, when bringing two hat boxes and three full-sized suitcases on a solo trip to Europe was actually doable. ***The Bittersweet Life podcast has been on the air for an impressive 10+ years!

Bobby and Alex discuss some emerging stories from the MLB trade deadline, including the tenor of discourse around AJ Preller and the volume of pitching (particularly relievers) moved. Then, they talk about one of the most on-brand Tipping Pitches stories in years: Bryce Harper telling Rob Manfred to "get the fuck out" of the Phillies clubhouse if he wanted to talk about a salary cap. Next, they're joined by Hannah Keyser to share her experience reporting the Phillies story and talk more broadly about the state of Manfred's good will tour. Finally, they ring in the show's eighth anniversary by discussing the evolution of "main characters" and themes of the show over the years.Don't forget to use code "PIAZZA" for 50% off your first month of the top tier of our Patreon so that you can get access to the full Booze-ball Taste Test episode dropping next week.Links:Hannah's piece on the Phillies⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TP Kansas City Meetup Form⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Tipping Pitches Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tipping Pitches merchandise ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Call the Tipping Pitches voicemail: 785-422-5881Tipping Pitches features original music from Steve Sladkowski of PUP.

Why does (seemingly) every single person in Italy go on vacation during the month of August? If you've ever visited Italy in the month of August, you'll know that big cities and small towns alike empty out, particularly during the two middle weeks of August, and it can be a challenge to find a decent restaurant or shop open, or more locals than you can shake a stick at. Why is that? Would you believe it's a tradition that dates back two thousand years? Don't miss this week's mini-episode, which also happens to be our last new episode until September, because that's right, we too are taking the month of August off. Have a wonderful rest of your summer and will see you in Season 13! ***Katy's sister Dana has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 agressive brain cancer.

What percentage of Italian men cheat? Is it really 100% like a family friend of Tiffany's smugly insisted when she first moved to Italy? Or is that number closer to the rest of the world, only it's more acknowledged over here?   Did Tiffany take a terrible risk marrying an Italian, or is cultural background irrelevant to fidelity?   And what about Italian women? Do they cheat at the same (alleged) rate of their male counterparts?   An email from a listener who has had more than her fair share of contact with faithless Italian men sparked this titillating topic!

Katy's father Dale and sister Sara join us on this episode from our archives to look back on their past family travels to Southeast Asia, specifically Vietnam. Katy, who was not a travel-lover as a younger person, asks her dad if he invited her to join him on his frequent trips to Vietnam in order to expand her world through travel. His answer surprises her. Dale Sewall explains why he's been drawn to Vietnam for more than half his life, and he describes the electrifying reaction he had the first time he touched down in the country. ***The Bittersweet Life podcast has been on the air for an impressive 10+ years!

Can you remember the first time you were truly frightened—by a movie, a ghost story, or even a real event that you witnessed? On this episode, Katy and Tiffany delve back into their earliest memories to come up with the first instances of true fear that they experienced—and most of the time they can laugh at them now. We also wonder: can one instance of being horrified in childhood create lasting trauma throughout your life? And will we ever be able to understand why so many seemingly innocuous things frighten children so much?

On this nostalgic episode from our archives, Tiffany regales Katy with the details of a recent trip to the cradle of the Renaissance, including specific stops she made to research her latest book, a YA historical fiction thriller set in Florence in 1600. Also, we talk about how memory-provoking it can be to travel to a place that you haven't been in over a decade, but that you have a few extremely strong impressions of from past trips. Tiffany takes a jaunt down memory lane to her very first trip to Florence when she was 14, when she explored the city through the lens of her obsession with E. M. Forster's A Room with a View. ***The Bittersweet Life podcast has been on the air for an impressive 10+ years!

In part two of our conversation with Dr. Lisa Piazza, we focus on the evolving landscape of undergraduate research and how campuses can broaden access to these formative experiences. Dr. Piazza discusses inclusive practices, faculty involvement across disciplines, and the exciting innovations reshaping undergraduate research today. From shifting institutional mindsets to embedding research in the undergraduate journey, this episode continues our season's exploration of the engaged university—one where every student has a chance to participate meaningfully in the creation of knowledge. Additional Resources On Research Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2112707  CITI Program's Research Foundations Solution: https://about.citiprogram.org/solutions/research-foundations/ 

In this episode of On Campus, we dive into the power of undergraduate research as a catalyst for student engagement. Host Ed Butch and special guest co-host Alexa McClellan (of CITI Program's On Research podcast) welcome Dr. Lisa Piazza, Executive Director of the Office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavor at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Together, they explore how research experiences—especially in the early college years—can ignite curiosity, develop critical thinking, and help students connect more deeply with their education. Dr. Piazza shares her own journey, the value of mentorship, and how research can empower students to find their voice, regardless of major or background. It's a conversation that reimagines how institutions can engage undergraduates in transformative ways.  Additional Resources On Research Podcast - https://www.buzzsprout.com/2112707  CITI Program's Research Foundations Solution: https://about.citiprogram.org/solutions/research-foundations/  

Where would you go if you only had about six months left before travel would be out of the question for health reasons? Most people will never be forced to answer this question, but today's guest was recently asked this question by her husband, as they prepare and plan for the end of her life, after a devastating termincal cancer diagnosis. In this episode, Katy is joined by her sisters Sara and Dana. Dana talks about the surprising realization she came to when confronted with this practical question, as her priorities shifted away from adventure and novelty, and toward the places and people she already knows and loves. ***To help Katy's sister Dana with the staggering medical costs of her stage 4 agressive brain cancer—her specialist is outside her insurance network—as well of the costs of temporarily relocating to San Francsico for her treatments, please consider donating to her GoFundMe.

In a world that is becoming ever more homogenized, what sets places apart? What are the blaring indicators that communicate we are in a place vastly different from anywhere we've ever been before? In this episode from our archives, Katy recounts her magical and sometimes maddening week in Bali. She lays out the ways the island delighted and surprised her, the aspects that felt wholly different from what she is used to, and discusses with Tiffany how they compare with the cities of Rome and Seattle. ***The Bittersweet Life podcast has been on the air for an impressive 10+ years!

What is a growth mindset and why would you want one? And perhaps more importantly, how do you cultivate one? To answer these questions, we dive back into Dr. Therese Huston's fascinating book, Sharp: 14 Simple Ways to Improve Your Live with Brain Science. We explore the idea of growth vs. fixed mindset in relation to our own lives, learning to do things that once seemed impossible, from becoming fluent in a foreign language to mastering the art of speaking live on radio, from learning to play the piano to writing an entire work of fiction. We also discuss the value of continuing to learn new things as an adult, and how having a growth mindset can make lifetime learning possible (and fun). Make sure to listen to last week's episode, also inspired by this book, in which we discover that, contrary to popular belief, vision boards do not work!

Since July is a big month for travel, this month we are re-airing episodes from our archives every Friday that revisit trips we've taken in the past. After her recent two-week trip to Austria, Tiffany reflects on the differences between Italy and Austria. Despite the fact that the countries share a border, it turns out there are many glaring differences between the two. ***The Bittersweet Life podcast has been on the air for an impressive 10+ years!

Rome is extremely hot and extremely crowded right now, and the Vatican Museums have become an almost unbearable place. Instead of spending a miserable (and potentially hazardous) day inside one of the most amazing but sadly most overcrowded and unpleasant museums in the world, we've come up with a list of places you can go in Rome to find the same kind of art you'd find in the Vatican—and you'll probably have a much better time doing it!  You're welcome.

...According to the latest brain science anyway. Katy discovered this provcative tidbit in Dr. Therese Huston's new book, Sharp: 14 Simple Ways to Improve Your Life with Brain Science. She asks Tiffany if she's ever had a vision board and proceeds to explain why the thinking behind this concept is faulty. But Tiffany has her own ideas on this topic, ideas that are more philosophy than science.

How do you flirt in a foreign language? What if you barely speak the language in question? Is it easier to flirt with a foreigner than with someone from your own culture? What happens when cultural miscommunication crops up? And how do you manage to be witty and charming in a foreign language? On this episode from our archives, we delve into Tiffany's (many) experiences dating and flirting with foreign men, her bad dates, misadventures, and embarrassments. She shares why she finds foreign accents so irresistible, and how dating a local in a foreign country can make you get to know that country in a whole new way. Katy recounts her one-off date with a local guy in Vietnam, and shares the over-the-top romantic gestures from boyfriends past that made her run for the hills. ***The Bittersweet Life podcast has been on the air for an impressive 10+ years!

Have you ever noticed that Italian homes don't have closets? Bedroom closets, linen closets, broom closets, coat closets—they simply don't exist (unless you as a homeowner or renter decide to build one). Because of this lack of convenient storange space, Italians, twice a year, every year, have to swap out all their winter clothes (and pack them away) for their spring clothes, or vice versa. This got us thinking: what other things that an American might feel is indespensible in a home just doesn't exist in Italy? Or at least, it's not incuded when you buy or rent your home, but must be provided by you? A few things to keep in mind before you move to Italy... ***Katy's sister Dana has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 agressive brain cancer.

Do expat couples divorce more than couples who live in their home countries? They certainly face different challenges. On this episode from our archives, writer and former expat Debra Bruno joins us to talk about her article Divorce Global Style: For Expat Marriages, Breaking Up is Harder to Do which appeared on the Wall Street Journal's Expat Blog. Find Debra Bruno on Instagram or at her website. ***The Bittersweet Life podcast has been on the air for an impressive 10+ years!
