Hello and welcome to the latest episode of our “Sound of Finance” podcast. In today's special edition, we're taking you to Zurich for a deep dive into the Point Zero Forum 2025 – one of the most influential gatherings shaping the future of global financial services. This forum brings together central bankers, regulators, tech pioneers, and financial leaders to explore bold ideas around digital assets, AI in finance, regulatory transformation, and more. So, what's the buzz on the ground? What trends will shape our industry in the coming months? To answer these questions, Julian Schmeing, Partner at zeb consulting is joining us today. Julian is an expert on Digital Assets, DLT (Distributed-Ledger-Technologies) and crypto currencies – just to name a few.

In this conversation, Laura and Crystal explore the complexities of relationships, particularly focusing on the emotional labor and expectations that arise when one partner makes significant decisions, such as donating a kidney. They discuss the importance of communication, the impact of caregiving, and the need for self-awareness in navigating these dynamics. The conversation emphasizes the necessity of considering each other's needs and the collective responsibility in relationships, while also highlighting the role of therapy and community support in fostering healthier interactions.

With radio play on Western North Carolina radio stations, as well as shows around the region, Stephen Evans & the True Grits are becoming a local favorite.    "Buzz of Bees" is their latest album, released in December of 2022, of folk rock with some songs dipping their toes into other styles like Americana, Latin Folk, and Vaudeville.  Singles from the LP, ‘Ghost Among the Trees', ‘Winning the Day', and ‘Estefania', are already receiving radio play on local stations as well as national online radio and music podcasts.  Look for Stephen Evans & the True Grits playing fun live shows all around the area to support this beautiful album.   Emerging Manchester indie up and comer Jack Hyphen returns with the vibrant, breezy new single ‘Not Medicinal' (June 28th). Having made a name for himself as one to watch with live shows in and around Manchester, Jack Hyphen continues to showcase the intricate songwriting and radiant musicianship which has seen him build a fanbase.    Emerging from the breakup of Herefordshire Indie/Rock band Point Zero, where he served as the frontman, Jack returned with acoustic singles that showcased his vocal and lyrical prowess. His evolution into a 4-piece alternative pop/rock outfit in mid-2019 brought a punchy, atmospheric edge to his music.    The new single ‘Not Medicinal' continues this approach with intricate interweaving guitar lines, smothered in atmospheric modulation and reverb which glides over the punching drums and driving bass. Topped with Jack's emotive, understated vocal delivery, the track blends its energetic undercurrent with an ethereal edge to create a unique, accessible yet thoughtful and delicate soundscape.    Having already gained widespread press support and radio play from the likes of Amazing Radio and XS Manchester, Jack has opened for a number of breakout bands including Crystal Tides, Jeremiah Ferrari, and James Walsh (Starsailor), even gaining acclaim from BBC Radio 6 Music's Chris Hawkins for the quality of his live performance. Jack continues to grow, showcasing some of his finest work yet on the new single ‘Not Medicinal'.

So was von gluschtig uf na Partie Federball mit dir. Anna hat ihre Brüste auch nie getauft und nun frage ich alle Männer wieso man den das Gefühl hat eurem Penis einen Namen zu geben? Nach meiner Umfrage frage nicht nur ich mich - sondern auch die beiden Künstlerinnen Justine Koeke und Mimose Pale folgendes : Fehlt es der Erotik  an Humor.   Meine sehr geehrte Community des gelesenen oder gesprochenen Wortes. Sie werden sich nun wieder Fragen ob es in diesem Bericht schon wieder nur um Puttini und andersartige gluschtige Sauereinen geht. Die Idee einen Fels zu penetrieren, ist komisch aber irgendwie interessant sagt Mimosa aber wie gesagt, in diesem Essay versuchen wir aber auch Grenzen zu sprengen? Spontanität schlägt die geplante Inszenierung. Frau im Wald als Input, Inzucht und Inszenierung oder wollen wir hier und jetzt mal lieber über das Unwetter diskutieren? Oder eben den Walliser Schwarznasuschafwollerollchragubikini ?   Den Backscratcher haben wir im Institut für Schneeflockeninventar diese Woche mit der Kralle ausgestattet ,damit man,  und ja weil gerade der nächste Winter schon fast wieder vor der Türe steht… mit ja der Kralle ausgestattet. Dies vereinfacht das öffnen der Schnallen der Skischuh - genau und das schliessen. Weil die Arme im älter ja immer kürzer werden…..! Auch beim Versuch die Lebenabschnittparterin/er zu umarmen, nun gut da hilft die Kralle nicht wirklich. Vielleicht hilf da nur weniger von diesem leckeren Aufschnitt? Aber unserem Gunti wird die Tage dafür sicher auch was einfallen.  Zurück zur Frage - fehlt es der Erotik an Humor? Absolut mein Justyna. Dieser Bereich des Lebens wird sehr ernst genommen, aber wenn es lustig sein soll, wird es schnell unangenehm. Wir wollen zeigen, dass erotische Fantasien auch witzig und unangenehm sein können, ohne unangenehme, dreckige Hintergedanken. Mimosa : Und es war auch die Idee neue Bilder zu schaffen, weg von dem was wir schon kennen. So eine nackte Frau im in der Natur ist ja das klassische Bild. Das zu brechen mit Humor und Witz, war unser Ziel.  www.justynakoeke.com www.mimosapale.com   Letzte Woche ging das Gerücht herum, dass Nemo der neue Botschafter des Walliser Schwarznasenwollrollchragubikini wird? Ein Modell gerade eben deswegen ist auch für das 3. Geschlecht in Planung. Gunti welcher in diesem Projekt federführend ist wird von der besten Ehefrau der Welt, von seiner Marie tatkräftig unterstützt. Auch ging in den letzten Wochen der Planung und Umfragen sehr viel Feedback ein. Männer wünschen sich einen einfachen Verschluss betreffend Öffnung. Frauen meinten : auch wenn nie beide Brüste gleich gross seinen, so sei es nicht so gravierend, dass nun Milli eine Korbgrösse mehr braucht als Vanilliiii. Das Bundesamt für sorgenlosen Geschlechtsvfairkehr nimmt sich solchen Anliegen an.  Und wir haben mir deswegen ernsthaft Sorgen gemacht, und gedacht, ja gerade wir werden hier was revoluzzen? Immerhin kommt die Idee der super flex scretch Rollkragen sehr gut an. Bedenken betreffend wasserdicht und heiss = wasserdicht ja weil auch Schafe gerne schwimmen und heiss nein - weil die Wolle des Walliser  Schwarznasenschafes ja Hitze abweisend ist. Ansonsten wie gesagt, gibt es den W-Lan föhn mit dem super cool glacier air button und ja trocknen kann man den BH mit dem very red very hot sahara air button.    Die Dienststelle für mehr Spontanküsserei hat diese Woche wiederum festgestellt, dass die Zahlen der Geschlechtsfairkehr-Fairehrer nach oben steigt. Dies wiederum kommt der Herstellung der handglismutu Hanf-Schwarznasukondom zu gute. Z`Marie hat ja nun richtig viel um die Ohren weil sie neben all diesen Ideen von Gunti vollamtlich als selbständige Foodbloggerin und Vinfluencerin tätig ist. Diese Woche kreierte sie für the Snowroom by Horny Chef einen weissen Dipp - Quark - Fajita Spice - feinstes Olivenöl, dieser Dipp perfekt in den Wraps oder Pitta Bred.  Vollkorn-Wraps aus Walliser Roggenmehl - Gemüse und Huhn roasted on the BBQ. Dazu und weil ja gerade eben die Alpenrosen blühen ein feinstes Glas von diesem süffigen Rosé der Cave Fin Bec mit einem Preis-Leistungsfairhältnis welches zu finden gilt. Wie gesagt, passend zu Schärfe der Fajitas die Frucht und Leichtigkeit des Rosé welcher aus Pinot Noir aus Salgesch - Oberwallis,  Humagne Rouge aus dem Unterwallis, und aus Grenache von Südfrankreich kredenzt wird. Und ja Marie ist heute übrigens den ganzen Tag nicht erreichbar, sie ist so an einem Workshop welches von den anonymen Querdenkern in Zusammenarbeit mit der Fairzettelungsagentur organisiert wurde - Titel : erfolgreich scheitern.    https://finbec.ch/fin-bec-rose-sel-no-22/   Kulinarische Events : Walliser Raclette Abend mit den passenden Weinen - Hof Musegg Luzern by Rolly Lobsiger    Zurück bei Freggy 2.0 o. Freggy 2 Point Zero. Haute Couture de la Perle des Alpes. The official Brand des Schwarznasenwollerollchragubikiniiiii!!! Sich in drückender schwüler Hitze elegant zu kleiden und gleichzeitig nicht vor Hitze zu vergehen, ist gar nicht so einfach. Das Sommerstück by Freggy 2.0 soll da helfen. Der Walliser Schwarznasuwollerollchragubinini aus feinster und ja wie der Name schon sagt, aus feinster Walliser Schwarznasenwolle, welche temperaturregulierend Eigenschaften hat und so überschüssige Wärme ableitet. Hier auch etwas inspiriert vom Studio Oboi welches mit Merinowolle arbeitet. Die Wolle ist ein Wunder der Natur. Sie hat amtungsaktive Eigenschaften und wirkt gleichzeitig temperaturregulierend. Das tönt ja schon fast wie die Werbung aus der Dauerfernsehsendung ? www.studioosoi.com     Wie bauen Fructarier ein Haus? Aus Bananenkisten. Wollte nur mal so bisschen ablenken und gekonnt das Thema wechseln. Und aus was besteht das Material des Brautkleides? Aus Organgenhaut. Da gibt es doch noch diesen Witz? Bisschen Frauenfeindlich? Eine Frau muss sich eine Woche lang nicht waschen und schmeckt immer noch fruchtig. Wieso? Wegen der Orangenhaut. Sicher äu vom Rolf Schmid?    Museum Tipp der Woche : am Dienstag eröffnet im Museum Blumenstein in Solothurn die neue Ausstellung - Seife - Sex und Schokolade.  Immer noch fällt es dem weiblichen Geschlecht schwer über ihre sexuelle Lust zu sprechen. Der Umgang mit unserer Körperlichkeit ist geprägt durch die Erziehung, die Gesellschaft und die Zeit, in der man lebt, und entsprechend mit zahlreichen Tabus und Schamgefühlen verbunden.    IM TV sah ich, wie eine Frau versuchte, ihren Mann mit den Brüsten zu ersticken und da ein Feedback von Claudia Nova noch betreffend eben ob sie ihre Brüste getauft hat. Claudia arbeitet als Escort Dame der gehobenen Art und schreibt auch immer mal wieder was tolles in Ihrem Blog. www.claudianvoca.ch. Mehr Infos dazu natürlich im bei @ Radio Supersaxo diese Woche.    Sollen wir nun zu den Lift Anekdote oder ja was mich diese Woche sehr tief beeindruckt hat, die Solidarität in Saas-Grund und wie da geholfen wurde. Ich persönlich frage mich - und klar kann man immer noch via Twint helfen oder auch vor Ort die Schaufel anpacken. Aber eben zu meiner Frage - wie lange geht es bis solche Umweltkatastrophen ein professionelles Umweltmarketing braucht. Viele Firmen waren mit ihren Mitarbeiter:innen vor Ort. Kräftig wurde alle Fotografiert, Selfies, für die Followers und auf der Suche nach den Likes? Tu gutes und rede darüber.    Ich finde eher - tu gutes und schweige darüber? Wie uncool und unprofessionell und gerade eben ausschlachten. Die Gaffer am Strassenrand. Die Medien. Die Berichte. Vielleicht gibt es schon bald Unwetter Team Building Events und ein Merchandising mit T-Shirts - I helped Saas-Grund 2024.    NGO`s waren vor Ort. Non - Governmental organizations zu Deutsch : Nichtregulierungsorganisationen. Darunter versteht man eine Gruppe von Menschen, die sich zusammenschliessen, um gemeinsame Interessen zu verfolgen und Probleme in der Gesellschaft anzugehen.  Teambuliding und Wiederaufbau. Gemeinsam aufräumen - helfen - das Team bei. Umweltkatastrophen zusammenschweissen. Die nächste Umweltkatastrophe kommt bestimmt. Firmen könnten jetzt schon tolle Angebote offerieren für den Wiederaufbau und sich positionieren.  Die Gaffer:innen feiern sich so richtig anstatt mit anzupacken. Wer hat mir geholfen? Die Armee und der Zivilschutz sind doch vor Ort. Egoismus?   Humanitäre Hilfsorganisationen rücken an. Spenden werden gesammelt. Wo war Unicef, Caritas und der WWF. Freiwilligenprojekte hier vor Ort anstatt nach Afrika fliegen. Ein Auslandsjahr und vielleicht könnten solche Angebote von den Amerikanern und den Asiatischen Gutmensch Menschen gebucht werden?  In Zusammenarbeit mit Greenpeace Travel und der Suisse sowie  Terre des Hommes und Shell.    World Vision präsentiert die Idee mit der Patenschaft neu und man wird heute nicht mehr Pate/in von einem Kind in Afrika nein man übernimmt die Patenschaft eines Saaser Mutten. Das sind die Schafe mit den langen Haaren welche von Pro Specia Rara geschützt sind.    Auch Murmeltierbauten - Tunnels und ihre Bewohner und Bewohnerinnen wurden überflutet. Doch darüber will woll noch niemand berichten. Vielleicht könnte Gunti auch Gondolas für eben Murmeltiere bauen aber wie umsetzen? Oder eben die Arche Noah aus Saaser Lärchenholz. Nächster Abfahrtstermin : 02.08.2024 : 16.30 !

This one covers a lot of ground. Avi Mor, Founder and CEO of Morlights, a design firm in Chicago, speaks his mind on interoperability, protocols, dimming, CAT5, Dali, specifications, and… elevators. Using elevators as an analogy, Avi would like to see open protocols for controlling luminaires allowing designers to replace fixtures rather than ripping out the controls system.  Founding Principal, Avraham “Avi” M. Mor has been practicing lighting design for over 20 years. After graduating from the University of Kansas with a BFA in Theater Design with an emphasis in Architectural and Theatrical Lighting Design, he moved back to his hometown of Chicago to further his craft.

A captivating conversation with theater director and playwright Laila Soliman about theater, cultural discourse and decolonization across the Arab world. Using three of her major works – Zigzag, La Grande Maison and her first opera Woman at Point Zero – as reference, we discuss western-centric art education, dismantle the concept of “alternative narratives”, and collective memory. We think about theater as a medium, what it takes to bring about a cultural “golden age”, and where and how is the best place to pass on knowledge.Laila Soliman is an independent Egyptian theater director and playwright who lives and works in Cairo. Born in Cairo, she gained a degree in theater and Arabic literature from the American University in Cairo and a MA at Dasarts in Amsterdam. Her performances have been shown across the Arab world, India, South Africa and Europe. Her first opera production – Woman at Point 0 – based on Nawal el Saadawi's novel by the same name premiered in 2022. THIS SERIES IS PART OF THE AFIKRA PODCAST NETWORKThe afikra Podcast is our flagship series featuring experts from academia, art, media and beyond who are helping document and/or shape the histories and cultures of the Arab world through their ‎work. Our hope is that by having the guest share their expertise and story, the community walks away with a new ‎found curiosity and maybe some good recommendations about new nerdy rabbit holes to dive into head first. ‎Explore all episodes in this series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfYG40bwRKl5xaTkBDrUKLCulvoCE8ubXABOUT AFIKRAafikra | عفكرة is a movement to convert passive interest in the Arab world to active intellectual curiosity.

This week, Niko and Tatiana read Woman at Point Zero by Egyptian feminist author and doctor Nawal El Saadawi, the "Simone de Beauvoir of the Arab world". Based on a true story, Woman at Point Zero recounts the life of Firdaus, a young prostitute on death row, allowing her to reclaim the meaning of her life and depict the lot of Egyptian women. Niko and Tatiana discuss consciousness, sex work, and the gaze of eyes. 

Firdaus sitzt im Gefängnis in der Todeszelle und erzählt die Geschichte ihres Lebens. Sie wurde missbraucht, vergewaltigt, unterdrückt - und meint nun, kurz vor ihrem Tod, die Freiheit gefunden zu haben… Wir sprechen in dieser Folge über das Buch und die Autorin, die selbst in ihrem bewegten Leben mutig für Frauenrechte gekämpft hat. Dabei wurde sie bedroht und kritisiert, landete im Gefängnis und ließ sich von drei Ehemännern scheiden. Ihr Engagement brachte sie vor 20 Jahren auch zu einer Veranstaltung nach Wien. Die Organisatorin des Events, Mary Attia, ehemalige Obfrau vom Verein für ägyptische Frauen und Familien, erzählt von ihren Eindrücken.

Battlefield Acupuncture (BFA) is rapidly gaining recognition for its effectiveness in alleviating acute and chronic pain, as well as anxiety. When we heard Angel Jaap, CRNA speak about this at the AANA Spring Symposium, we wanted to bring her on to learn more about this alternative therapy. You'll understand why she wants more nurses to learn this protocol after you hear some of the applications and success stories she shares today.   For those that aren't familiar with BFA, patients undergo insertion of five auricular semi-permanent (ASP) needles to the following traditional ear acupuncture points bilaterally: Cingulate Gyrus, Thalamus, Omega 2, Point Zero and Shenmen. Angel learned about this over the past few years and has instituted a Pilot program through Whole Health within VISN 4 which allows RNs to perform BFA for veterans thereby increasing veterans access to this safe, effective pain management therapy.   You'll learn more about that and have a much better understanding of BFA after listening to our conversation during our trip to Hershey, Pennsylvania.   Here are some of the things you'll learn on this show: How therapeutic touch works and why it makes you feel the way it does. How BFA was developed and why the VA began incorporating this into patient care. What does a day at work look like for Angel? Angel shares a wonderful success story about treating a veteran and PTSD. The smaller needles used in BFA have been effective for people scared of needles.   Visit us online: http://beyondthemaskpodcast.com  Get the CE certificate here: https://beyondthemaskpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Beyond-the-Mask-CE-Cert-FILLABLE.pdf

Today I‘m excited to be speaking with Ahmed Naji, a writer who spent two years in prison in Egypt for writing what the authorities judged to be objectionable material.But while Ahmed Naji was in prison, he discovered literature and through that, himself. It's an amazing story of a person who finds magic and hope in the unlikely environs of the library of a stereotypical prison—a pestilential and dank hovel, one biscuit short of hell.But before I talk to him, I thought it might be useful to get some context going here, so, a little bit, about Egyptian literature first. Modern Egyptian literature began to flourish in the early 20th century, or right up to say the 1940s, as writers started to break away from traditional Arabic literary forms such as classical Arabic poetry, with specific meters and rhyming schemes. It was during that time that author Taha Hussein, often called the "Dean of Arabic Literature," challenged classical literary norms, when he introduced a more accessible style of prose.The next decade saw the birth of a cultural renaissance with the overthrow of the monarchy in 1952 and the beginning of the republic. That's about when Naguib Mahfouz happened. He went on to win the Nobel in 1988 and brought world attention to Egyptian literature.As with all cultural forms, one decade tends to build on the previous and the successive decades have seen social realism, pioneering books, like "Woman at Point Zero", about the struggles of women in Egyptian society, and writers explained the challenges of contemporary life. There was the growth of female and feminist voices and of course the influences from the Arab Spring. Importantly, there has been a growth in contribution to literature from the Egyptian diaspora.I found Ahmed Naji's writing online and I was fascinated by his story and his work and we tracked him down to his new home in the United States. Ahmed's latest book Rotten Evidence is a story about his time in prison, about how he discovered literature and found the writer in himself and the reality of protest. These lines capture the essence of the protest against censorship and being jailed for alleged obscenity."James Joyce, who swore to express himself with the greatest degree of freedom possible—and never to serve home, fatherland, or church—said a writer had three weapons: silence, exile, and cunning. Well, Joyce, they put me in prison, and all I had left was laughter and rage."Such is the captivating prose of my guest today. Ahmed Naji joins me from his home in Las Vegas for this delightful conversation.ABOUT AHMED NAJIAhmed Naji is a writer, journalist, documentary filmmaker... and criminal. His novel Using Life made him the only writer in Egyptian history to have been sent to prison for offending public morality. Naji has won several prizes including a Dubai Press Club Award and a PEN/Barbey Freedom to Write Award. He is currently a fellow at the Beverly Rogers, Carol C. Harter Black Mountain Institute.

Latin Waves host Sylvia Richardson speaks to Silvia Federici about her latest book: Revolution at Point Zero: Housework, Reproduction, and Feminist Struggle. The struggle to make visible how the Capitalist system depends on the unwaged reproductive labour of women. How the revolution must include both the liberation of men and women from exploitation. She speaks of the challenges, victories and alternatives. Silvia Federici is a feminist writer, teacher, and militant. In 1972, she was cofounder of the International Feminist Collective, which launched the Wages for Housework campaign internationally.

Akshita Iyer, Founder & CEOomekitchen.comBefore her product could hit the shelves, Akshita Iyer pitched it to investors on Shark Tank, impressing them and earning an investment offer. But she did not take the deal. "Even today, I would say that I'm glad I didn't take the deal because I did not know enough about business to use that capital efficiently," Akshita tells us on the podcast today.After Shark Tank, Akshita started connecting with experienced Silicon Valley Founders to learn more about growing a start-up. Today, she has leveraged those lessons to build the Ome Smart Knob - the same product that attracted the offer - into a profitable and popular brand. It is this experience and more that Akshita shares with us on the show today.

A study has come out showing the results of 1700 new podcasters, and 41% saw their new podcast as an opportunity for additional income, with 29% of those wanting to be their main source of income. There are people who will charge you THOUSANDS of dollars (in three easy payments) who will GUARANTEE a top spot in podcasts apps. They quote their listennotes stats (even when they know they are bogus, see video 1 and video 2) and promote affiliate products - not because they are good - but because they have the highest commission.  I'm not them. Today I reveal the truth - even if it is not what you want to hear.  So The Plan is Start a Podcast and Get Advertisers? Less than 10% of podcasters get the number of downloads per episode after 30 days to get a host ready from a "big sponsor." source Programmatic ads have a CPM that may be  around $12 CPM (cost per thousand downloads) source The median number of podcasters is around 150 (per libsyn)and the average is around 1500. The median on Buzzsprout is 30.  The aver CPM for Advertisecast is $24ish and they require 10,000 downloads per episode. source Please note, I'm not saying smaller shows with 1000 downloads an episode can't get a sponsor. With podcasting, it always "Depends" on your topic. If you DO have a hyper niche or hyper-local podcast you can charge more than the rates above.  Bruce Chamoff from the NYC Podcast Network I first ran into Bruce when he invited me to be a speaker at his Podknow 2023 Online Event. I wanted to talk to Bruce because I don't see eye to eye on some of the things he does, and I wanted to no more. One was having a network where the topics weren't related.  Brice started the NYC Podcast Network back in 2005 (it was the Long Island Podcast Network back then). He has slowly broadened the scope and plans on rebranding it to the Global Podcast Network.  Bruce is monetizing by having podcaster pay to be promoted on his site, which gets 20-25 thousand unique visitors a month. That would put him in the top 20% (Source).  You can join for free or pay a small monthly fee to be featured on the site. Bruce monitors all the activity on the website so you can evaluate your traffic from the site and decide if it's worth the fee, or just stay with a free plan (or leave - I'm somewhat worried about having another site competing with YOUR website) Certain plans on the site allow you to link to our show on popular podcast platforms, as well as monetization links, and link to your website (which you can do on your own site for free). Bruce likens it to a social media site based around podcasting. What makes his site different is his level of categorization.  You can sign up for free, try it, and check your stats to see if this works for you.    My "Thanks Dave" Engagement Experiment For three weeks, I swapped out my typical School of Podcasting Advertisement and askws people if they felt I had given value over the years (and they had never joined the School of Podcasting) if they would give some of that value back by going to www.schoolofpodcasting.com/thanks Six people said "Thanks" and gave some value back (Ranging from $5-$25).  Steve at Wayword studios Letitia Evans James Cridland From Podnews Craig Wealand from Ingles Podcast DR from Mouthy Broad Media Try Price from Front Porch Studios If you take 6/1500 that is .04% (not 4% POINT ZERO 4) I've mentioned in the past that I've heard the VERY popular show Radiolab do a "Fundraiser" type episode trying to get UP TO 1% of their audience to donate. When I've spoken to other people in the industry, a good engagement level is 2-3%.  If I count the people who are Patrons and Students, I'm somewhere near that ballpark.

Hustle. Grind. Boss up. Do more. Love them or hate them, these words are embedded into the ways we think about work and entrepreneurship. But as we've seen with the enormous growth of the r/anti-work subreddit and the panic about quiet quitting, more people than ever are thinking about different ways to go about building their lives, careers, and businesses.As we close out the Self-Help, LLC series, I wanted to address where our productivity hang-ups come from, who our productivity really benefits, and how we might go about doing things differently. This episode is in 2 parts. The first half or so is an introduction to how employers (including self-employers) profit from unpaid work and why the productivity-wage gap has become so immense. The second half of the episode is my conversation with Jadah Sellner, about the vision for business she lays out in her new book, She Builds.Footnotes: Find out more about Jadah Sellner and her new book, She Builds. “TikTok ‘5-to-9' Trend Shows Quiet Quitting Hasn't Killed Hustle Culture” on Bloomberg Dolly Parton rewrites her working woman's anthem for SquareSpace THE ULTIMATE MORNING ROUTINE (parody) Revolution at Point Zero, essays by Silvia Federici Data on the productivity-wage gap (Economic Policy Institute) Self-Help, INC by Micki McGee Debt: The First 5,000 Years by David Graeber Essay versions of each episode of the podcast come out on Thursdays at explorewhatworks.com and in my newsletter.

As adults, we all feel the pressure to have a drink, or few, at social events. If you aren't drinking at a social event, you'll find yourself typically having to justify why you aren't drinking. Are you pregnant? Is everything okay? What's wrong with you? Today, Hayley is joined by special guest, Kirsten Chalmers. Kirsten has over 12 years experience as a psychologist, primarily helping clients with anxiety and depressive disorders, ADHD, OCD and  social anxiety disorders. Kirsten has special interests in burnout, executive stress, perfectionism, career transition and mindful drinking. Having been on her own mindful drinking journey, Kirsten found the lack of options when looking for 0% alcohol beverages that weren't sugary fruit juices. With this realisation came the birth of Kirsten's business, Point Zero Cellars. The mission is to normalise mindful drinking and give options to those wanting to start their mindful drinking journey.Use HAYLEY25 to receive 25% OFF any Point Zero item for Sober October from now until the end of November!________________________________________Get In Touch With Kirsten ChalmersMy psychology practice IG and FB: @psychologistkirstenYou can find my products here.TikTok and IG: @pointzerocellarsDon't forget to FOLLOW the podcast!This podcast was brought to you by On Track Studio.www.ontrackstudio.com.au@sophie.on.track.studioFor advertising opportunities please email hello@ontrackstudio.com.au

As you heard last episode, from February 1982 SWAPO activity had increased in the normally quiet western sector of Angola north of Kaokaland. Remember the Red Cross flight which had been tracked by a SWAPO unit in that area at a place they called Point Zero. It was decided that this unit had to be confronted as quickly as possible as it threatened to bring the war to an area that had been virtually untouched by the mines and violence of Ovamboland. Two days later, the SADF comops unit was monitoring a SWAPO unit which had headquarters close to Cahama and the unit was ordered to meet their chief of staff from Lubango at Iona on 22nd February. Intelligence sources inside Angola said PLANs defence secretary, Peter Nanyemba, was taking a personal interest in Point Zero. That confirmed suspicions about how important SWAPO thought that this base was. Sector 10 HQ was worried about these new moves by SWAPO, it appeared to be establishing itself in Kaokaland and Damaraland. But where was Point Zero? It was time to deploy a ten-man team from 5 Reconnaisance Regiment to investigate the situation. Eventually after a number of contacts, they captured 6 POWs who told them that there were about 200 SWAPO at a base ten kilometers south of Iona in a place called the Cambena Valley. It was just across the border, west of Ruacana, north of the heart of Kaokoland. There was no time to waste. The soldiers at the base must have been aware already that the SADF had been active nearby so things had to move fast. This would turn into Operation Super

Ep 180 - Kirsten Chalmers from Point Zero Cellars   Point Zero Cellars philosophy is simple – offer a healthier adult beverage to individuals seeking a more mindful approach to drinking, and companies who see the value in offering these alternatives to their customers.  They focus on finding the best tasting alcohol-free beverages available and adding them to a predominantly alcohol heavy beverage industry.   So I felt very lucky to chat with the founder of Point Zero Cellars Kirsten Chalmers on this week's episode. In this podcast we discuss: -Where did the idea for Point Zero come from. -Why did Kirsten decide to focus on premium and overseas brands first. -How her experience in psychology played a role in the brand. -How Low-alc or no-alc drinks are now very much a normal part of the market rather than just a trend, and how big does she believe the industry will get.

The Egyptian feminist writer and doctor Nawal El Saadawi always spoke her mind. Her early books were explosive testimonials, based on her medical practice and personal experience, about sexual double standards and the abuses women faced because of them. She went on to write many more books, including novels, plays and several memoirs. Over the course of her life she was jailed, censored, fired, admired, and attacked by Islamists as an unbeliever. She is still one of the best-known and most translated Arab women writers.  Some of the books discussed in this episode include: The Hidden Face of Eve, The Fall of the Imam, Memoirs from the Women's Prison, Woman at Point Zero, Daughter of Isis and Walking Through Fire.  The Radical Books Collective and the Adabiyat Book Club are holding an online master class on El Saadawy's famous novel Woman At Point Zero on November 20, with academic and translator Samah Selim.  Ursula wrote about El Saadawy recently for The New York Review of Books.
