Send us your feedback — we're listeningPsalm 91:1 — Jesus, Settle My Spirit Tonight and Wrap Me in the Shelter of Your Quiet PeaceLive from England — DailyPrayer.uk with Reverend Ben Cooper Welcome to this prayer in our global five-nation rotation Ao vivo de Londres, Inglaterra para São Paulo (Brasil) • Porto (Portugal) • Luanda (Angola) • Praia (Cabo Verde) • Mendoza (Argentina) paz noturna • descanso profundo • abrigo seguro • sombra protetora night peace • deep rest • safe shelter • protective shadow Psalm 91:1 (NIV): “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” John 16:33 (NIV) “…in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Jesus, as this night settles over me, I come into Your presence asking You to calm every part of my inner world that still feels unsettled. Paz noturna is what my heart longs for — a quiet, gentle stillness that only rises when I draw near to You. Under a Tua sombra protetora, I choose to breathe more slowly, trusting that I am sheltered, covered, and held in a place where no fear has the authority to govern my spirit. Wrap me in the shelter of Your quiet peace. Let the thoughts that have been circling without rest finally soften. Let every burden I have carried through this day loosen its grip. You speak over me tonight with a voice stronger than the noise of my worries: “Take heart.” You have overcome the world — and in that victory, my soul finds its anchor. Jesus, as I rest beneath the shadow of the Almighty, bring descanso profundo to every weary place in me. Calm the concerns I cannot fix tonight. Lift the tension resting across my shoulders. Cover my mind with Your gentleness, and let Your peace move through me like a slow, steady river. Teach me to trust the safety of Your presence more than the pressure of my thoughts. Hold me in Your shadow until my spirit rests. Let peace become the atmosphere of this night, and let Your nearness be the last thing my heart remembers before sleep comes. Amém.

You see what this day has taken from me — the conversations that drained me, the moments that stretched me, the decisions that left me unsure of myself. Meet me now in this fim de tarde moment, and breathe Your calm into the places that feel worn thin. Let descanso profundo settle over my spirit. Quiet the noise inside me. Slow the pace of my thoughts. Where I have felt overwhelmed, bring stillness. Where I have carried too much, lighten the load. Where I have tried to hold myself together, hold me instead. Let Your rest reach the parts of me that no one else sees — the fatigue, the concern, the silent pressure of simply getting through the day. Jesus, bring força restaurada into my inner world. Restore what slipped away in the rush. Renew the strength that was spent silently. Revive the peace that was shaken by uncertainty. Fill me with the assurance that I am not walking into this evening alone. You are near, and Your presence is steady. Let presença que sustenta anchor me in this hour. Surround me with Your covering. Support me where I feel weak. Lift me where I feel low. Let Your gentle voice guide me into the rest of this evening. Teach me to release the unfinished tasks, the unresolved conversations, the unspoken worries. Teach me to breathe again. Jesus, meet me. Restore me. Hold me. Let this evening become a doorway into Your peace. Amém.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningPsalm 91:2 — Jesus, Stand Close When the Night Feels Deep and My Heart Reaches for Your Safety Live from England — DailyPrayer.uk with Reverend Ben Cooper Welcome to this prayer in our global five-nation rotation Ao vivo de Londres, Inglaterra para Rio de Janeiro (Brasil) • Coimbra (Portugal) • Benguela (Angola) • Beira (Moçambique) • Chicago (Estados Unidos) madrugada profunda • consolo divino • presença segura • esperança silenciosa deep night • divine comfort • safe presence • quiet hope Psalm 91:2 (NIV): “I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress…'” 2 Corinthians 1:3–4 (NIV): “The God of all comfort… comforts us in all our troubles.” Jesus, as the deep hours of the night surround me, I turn my heart toward You, asking You to stand close. In this madrugada profunda, when silence seems louder than daytime noise and thoughts rise without warning, let Your nearness become my comfort. I reach for Your safety tonight because I know that You are the One who meets me gently when my strength runs thin. You are my refuge and my fortress, the place where fear loosens its hold and peace begins to breathe again. Let consolo divino settle over my heart. Where I feel stretched, soothe me. Where I feel vulnerable, cover me. You move toward me with the tenderness of a Father who knows the hidden things I carry in the dark. When I whisper my worries to You, You do not turn away; instead, You draw closer. Your comfort is not distant or theoretical — it is present, soft, and deeply real. Jesus, let presença segura surround me like a warm cloak tonight. Quiet the places where anxiety tries to rise. Fill my breathing with calm. Lift the weight of thoughts I cannot resolve at this hour. Be the One who holds me steady when the night feels deeper than usual and my heart feels more exposed. And where hope has dimmed, let esperança silenciosa be rekindled. Light a small flame inside me that reminds me Your goodness is coming with the morning. Keep me close beneath Your wings until rest finds me, and let Your comfort carry me into the dawn.

This episode I am reading from Admir Serrano's book 'Nights on the Other Side: How I Discovered My Immortality' Nights on the Other Side” is a book that invites us to look at life from a different perspective: more lucid, more open, and less fearful. Admir describes out-of-body experiences with clarity, combining his personal testimony with scientific references. But above all, he conveys the sense that we are not alone and that we are something more than we believe. Bio I am a Brazilian-American researcher, writer and lecturer on paranormal phenomena such as out-of-body experiences (OBEs), near-death experiences (NDEs), deathbed visions (DBVs), after- death communication (ADC), reincarnation, mediumship and the afterlife. And an unabashed believer in our survival of physical death and the immortality of the spirit. My interest in these subjects was triggered after I began having spontaneous OBEs, back in the year 2000, and I wanted to understand the phenomenon. Since then, I have had hundreds of lucid and amazing experiences which have proven to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are immortal beings. Aware of the sadness that death of a loved one can cause – and I have experienced it myself – I have made it my life's mission to spread the notion that there is no death, that only the body dies, and since we are not our body, we survive death – unscathed. For my own edification regarding the dynamics of physical death, I have worked as a hospice volunteer providing spiritual support to terminally ill patients as they waited for their time to cross over to the other side of life. And this is what death is, a change of worlds, the end of one mode of living, the physical, to the beginning of a spiritual existence. I have bachelor's degrees in psychology and liberal studies, and a master's in theology. I am an avid reader with a broad interest in world and religious history, anthropology, geography, world affairs, and the humanities. I have written five books in my native Portuguese language on death, dying and the afterlife, and two in English on related topics. I write and lecture in both languages, as well as Spanish, the third language I speak. I live in Homestead, Florida, with my wife, two daughters and my lovely grandson. https://www.admirserrano.com/ https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ai summary for seo ~ Latin America is a sprawling, high-contrast mosaic that defies any single label, offering a lifestyle that is as exhausting as it is exhilarating. To live here as a "gringo" is to enter a world where the social fabric is woven with deep-seated warmth and a collective resilience that prioritizes human connection over rigid schedules. Whether you are navigating the high-altitude Andean peaks or the humid pulse of a Caribbean coastline, you'll find a culture that operates on the "Tranquilo" principle—a fluid approach to time where bureaucracy is slow, but the coffee is fresh, the music is loud, and the people are genuinely curious about your story. It is a region that rewards the flexible and punishes the impatient. For those looking to plant roots, the "Gringo Trail" has evolved into a sophisticated network of hubs catering to different flavors of expatriate life. Mexico City and Medellín remain the heavyweights for digital nomads seeking cosmopolitan energy, world-class gastronomy, and robust infrastructure. Meanwhile, places like the Sacred Valley in Peru or the coastlines of Costa Rica offer a more soul-searching, "Pura Vida" existence focused on wellness and nature. In 2026, the influx of remote workers has pushed prices up in trendy neighborhoods like Roma Norte or El Poblado, but the cost of living still offers a "luxury-for-less" trade-off that is nearly impossible to find in the US or Europe, particularly regarding private healthcare and domestic services. However, the transition isn't always seamless, and "gringo" life requires a specific mental toolkit to navigate safely and respectfully. Safety is the most common concern, but it is often more about "situational awareness" than dodging cartels; it's about learning not to "give papaya"—local slang for not making yourself an easy target by flashing wealth. Beyond security, there is the hurdle of the "Gringo Tax," where foreigners are often quoted higher prices. Integration is the only cure for this; those who bother to learn the local Spanish (or Portuguese in Brazil) and respect the formal etiquette of the Usted find that the "foreigner" label eventually softens into that of a "local friend," unlocking a much deeper, more authentic version of the city. Ultimately, living in Latin America is an exercise in trading "First World" convenience for "Real World" vibrancy. You might lose a day to a confusing bank errand or a sudden power outage, but you'll gain a life filled with spontaneous Sunday asados, vibrant street markets, and a sense of community that makes the hyper-individualism of the North feel sterile by comparison. It is a place where the infrastructure might be crumbling in spots, but the spirit is unbreakable. If you can handle the noise, the spicy food, and the occasional chaos, it offers a richness of experience that makes it one of the most rewarding regions on earth to call home. #travel #travelblogger #nomad #latinamerica #expat #wifimoney

The full scale invasion of Ukraine began four years ago today. Ukraine Unbroken is an evening of five new plays written in response to the war. David Edgar talks about his, Five Day War, which imagines the puppet government waiting to move in when Kviv falls, and the other dramas. Between the plays Ukrainian musician Mariia Petrovska sings and plays the bandura. She talks about her involvement and the bandura, the national instrument that was once banned. And Mariia plays and sings live in the studio.As Oscar-winning British cinematographer Sir Roger Deakins looks back at his career through his visual memoir Reflections: On Cinematography, he talks to Samira about his practical and inventive approach to working on many iconic films such as 1984, O Brother Where Art Thou, 1917, tackling sci fi on Bladerunner 2049 and Bond with Skyfall. The government has announced the introduction of new legisation to introduce monitoring by Ofcom of streaming services. Front Row explores the implcations of this.And we consider the novels selected for the International Booker Prize longlist, announced today with writer and head judge Natasha Brown. The books in contention are: The Nights Are Quiet in Tehran by Shida Bazyar, translated from German by Ruth Martin We Are Green and Trembling by Gabriela Cabezón Cámara, translated from Spanish by Robin Myers The Remembered Soldier by Anjet Daanje, translated from Dutch by David McKay The Deserters by Mathias Énard, translated from French by Charlotte Mandell Small Comfort by Ia Genberg, translated from Swedish by Kira Josefsson She Who Remains by Rene Karabash, translated from Bulgarian by Izidora Angel The Director by Daniel Kehlmann, translated from German by Ross Benjamin On Earth As It Is Beneath by Ana Paula Maia, translated from Portuguese by Padma Viswanathan The Duke by Matteo Melchiorre, translated from Italian by Antonella Lettieri The Witch by Marie NDiaye, translated from French by Jordan Stump Women Without Men by Shahrnush Parsipur, translated from Persian by Faridoun Farrokh The Wax Child by Olga Ravn, translated from Danish by Martin Aitken Taiwan Travelogue by Yáng Shuāng-zǐ, translated from Mandarin Chinese by Lin KingPresenter: Samira Ahmed Producer: Julian May

Welkin is a poetic or archaic term for the sky, firmament, or vault of heaven.To “ring the welkin” or make the “welkin ring” is a literary idiom meaning to make a very loud noise, such as shouting, cheering, or singing, that seems to echo throughout the sky or heavens. It implies creating a celebratory or boisterous sound that fills the air.Will you ring welkin?“Jet” Eisenberg knew immediately why I was doing what I did. He said that I spoke about it on the day that we met more than a quarter-century ago.He said that I have spoken about it in every class that he has ever heard me teach.Most people continue to be confused regarding my commitment to @GreatWritersSeries, so I recently updated the description of that channel on Youtube. (You should subscribe, by the way.)You may recognize a line within that description that I used in last week's Monday Morning Memo.This is my new description on Youtube: The goal of @GreatWritersSeries is to tempt you to read great literature: the novels, histories, poems, and news stories that won the Pulitzer and Nobel prizes. The song lyrics and screenplays that won the Grammy and Tony Awards.Because they will change you.Great literature is the lightning bolt that will pierce your skull, illuminate your mind, and set your tongue on fire.“For as you read, so will you speak and write.”Roy H. Williams had a marvelous English teacher during his junior and senior years of high school in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.Her name was Linn Ball.She taught him to hear the music of great writing and dance to it.She taught him to lift his eyes to the sky so that he could fly.She taught him to hear the music of unexpected words as they bang into each other and fill the movie screen of the mind with scenes that are startling and true.He wants to do the same for you.Moments before I began writing this Monday Monday Memo to you, I posted on Youtube a musical video of a poem written in 1929 by Ogden Nash.The title of that poem is “No Doctors Today, Thank You.” You can see and hear that Youtube performance in today's rabbit hole.This is it:They tell me that euphoria is the feeling of feeling wonderful,well, today I feel euphorian,Today I have the agility of a Greek god and the appetite of aVictorian.Yes, today I may even go forth without my galoshes,Today I am a swashbuckler, would anybody like me to buckleany swashes?This is my euphorian day,I will ring welkin and before anybody answers I will run away.I will tame me a caribouAnd bedeck it with marabou.I will pen me my memoirs.Ah youth, youth! What euphorian days them was!I wasn't much of a hand for the boudoirs,I was generally to be found where the food was.Does anybody want any flotsam?I've gotsam.Does anybody want any jetsam?I can getsam.I can play chopsticks on the Wurlitzer,I can speak Portuguese like a Berlitzer.I can don or doff my shoes without tying or untying the laces because I am wearing moccasins,And I practically know the difference between serums and antitoccasins.Kind people, don't think me purse-proud, don't set me down as vainglorious,I'm just a little euphorious.I'm just a little euphorious.I want you to dance.I want you to fly.I want the movie screen of your mind to be filled with scenes that are startling and true.I want you to feel euphorious.Roy H.

Yet Your word speaks into the night: “Ainda que eu ande pelo vale mais escuro, Tu estás comigo.” Tonight, let this truth steady my breathing and lift my heart. I am not alone in this valley. You walk with me, step by step, even when I cannot see the way forward. Your voice cuts through the heaviness of the evening, reminding me of light, hope, and purpose. “Eu sou a luz do mundo.” Jesus, illuminate the paths I cannot yet understand and bring clarity to the thoughts that feel tangled. Let Your light reach into the corners of my mind where worry tries to linger, and let Your presence reshape the atmosphere within me. Tonight, I ask You to lift my eyes beyond the shadows and toward the quiet hope You place before me. Where fear whispers, bring courage. Where sorrow settles, bring comfort. Where the future feels uncertain, bring the assurance that Your hand is guiding me. “A Tua luz dá vida ao meu coração.” Let that life rise gently within me tonight, restoring strength that has drained away through the day. Jesus, breathe renewed courage into my spirit as this night unfolds, reminding me that every valley is temporary and every step is held in Your grace. As I rest, surround me with Your peace.

Lord, be close to me now. Let Your nearness soften the tension that rises without warning, and calm the thoughts that move too quickly through the stillness of this hour. You invite me to bring everything — every fear, every burden, every unspoken ache — and place it before You. “Apresenta a tua ansiedade diante d'Ele.” Jesus, I do that now. I place before You the weight I cannot hold, the uncertainties I cannot control, and the emotions that try to overwhelm me when the night grows quiet. Wrap me in Your peace that goes beyond my understanding and teach my heart to rest in the safety of Your voice. Tonight, let Your presence become the shield around my mind. Let Your promises lift the heaviness that tries to return. And as I breathe slowly in this quiet place, I ask You to strengthen my faith, deepen my trust, and help me remember that fear does not define my story — Your love does. “Jesus, acalma meu coração nesta madrugada.” Jesus, calm my heart in these early hours and carry me toward the light of a new dawn. madrugada oração, early morning prayer, fear and faith, Psalm 91 refuge, Portuguese Christian devotion, night anxiety prayer, Brazil worship night prayer, 3AM prayer, fear, refuge, Psalm 91, Brazilian devotion, Portuguese prayer, calming prayerSupport the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

Plantations have been the privileged tool of colonial rule and extraction in Mozambique for more than one hundred years despite never having delivered sustained economic or social benefits. Drawing on extensive archival and qualitative contemporary research, The Plantation Ideal: Landscapes of Extraction in Mozambique (U California Press, 2025) by Dr. Wendy Wolford offers new insights into plantation economies, histories, and landscapes. Dr. Wolford tells the story of how the largely failed pursuit of plantation production has shaped agricultural science, government rule, life on the land, and community development in Mozambique from the harshest years of Portuguese colonization to the present. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Lev 11:1-12:8, Mark 5:21-43, Ps 38:1-22, Pr 10:8-9

Send a textA lady brighter than the sun spoke to three children in a quiet Portuguese pasture—and the world has been echoing ever since. We revisit the lives of Saints Francisco and Jacinta Marto, tracing how two humble shepherds turned ordinary chores, whispered prayers, and hidden sacrifices into a clear path toward peace and holiness. Their story is not a legend wrapped in nostalgia; it is a practical map for anyone who wants to love God more and help heal a restless world.We walk through the 1917 Fatima apparitions, the Angel of Peace's school of adoration, and Mary's urgent plea to pray the rosary every day. Along the way, we highlight Francisco's mission to console the “hidden Jesus” in the Eucharist and Jacinta's fierce desire to save souls through penance and prayer. Their courage under ridicule, interrogations, and illness reveals the heart of Christian discipleship: take up your cross daily, offer it with love, and trust that grace transforms even the smallest act. From village mockery to hospital solitude, their fidelity shows how redemptive suffering becomes intercession for many.You'll also hear practical ways to live the Fatima message now: set a daily rosary, make intentional small sacrifices, spend time in Eucharistic adoration, and anchor your day in Scripture. For seekers, parents, catechists, and anyone craving a simple, sturdy rule of life, this conversation offers a Eucharistic, Marian, and Gospel-centered framework.

Full Text of Readings Friday after Ash Wednesday Lectionary: 221 The Saint of the day is Saints Jacinta and Francisco Marto Saints Jacinta and Francisco Marto's Story Between May 13 and October 13, 1917, three Portuguese shepherd children from Aljustrel, received apparitions of Our Lady at Cova da Iria, near Fátima, a city 110 miles north of Lisbon. At that time, Europe was involved in an extremely bloody war. Portugal itself was in political turmoil, having overthrown its monarchy in 1910; the government disbanded religious organizations soon after. At the first appearance, Mary asked the children to return to that spot on the thirteenth of each month for the next six months. She also asked them to learn to read and write and to pray the rosary “to obtain peace for the world and the end of the war.” They were to pray for sinners and for the conversion of Russia, which had recently overthrown Czar Nicholas II and was soon to fall under communism. Up to 90,000 people gathered for Mary's final apparition on October 13, 1917. Less than two years later, Francisco died of influenza in his family home. He was buried in the parish cemetery and then re-buried in the Fátima basilica in 1952. Jacinta died of influenza in Lisbon in 1920, offering her suffering for the conversion of sinners, peace in the world, and the Holy Father. She was re-buried in the Fátima basilica in 1951. Their cousin Lúcia dos Santos, became a Carmelite nun and was still living when Jacinta and Francisco were beatified in 2000; she died five years later. Pope Francis canonized the younger children on his visit to Fátima to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the first apparition–May 13, 2017. The shrine of Our Lady of Fátima is visited by up to 20 million people a year. Reflection The Church is always very cautious about endorsing alleged apparitions, but it has seen benefits from people changing their lives because of the message of Our Lady of Fátima. Prayer for sinners, devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and praying the rosary—all these reinforce the Good News Jesus came to preach.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Luís Figo is a footballing icon. One of the greatest players of his generation, a Ballon d'Or winner and the subject of one of the most controversial and talked about transfers of all time. Here, the Portuguese sits down with John and Chris at the Melia Desert Palm in Dubai to reflect on his illustrious career, and set the record straight once and for all. So what does he REALLY think of Cristiano Ronaldo and his place among the game's pantheon? And what of his bid to one day become UEFA president? Luís also takes us into the inner workings of his transfer from Barcelona to Real Madrid in 2000, a move that shocked the world. What was the catalyst, how did his family deal with the fallout and most pressing of all: does he have any regrets? Figo also talks us into the inner sanctum of Real's Galacticos, picks the team's best player and reveals just how close he came to a move to the English Premier League.

Trener Robotics is solving a fundamental problem in industrial automation: the 5 million robotic arms deployed globally operate without intelligence, relying on 60-year-old procedural programming methods. With $38 Million in total funding—including a just-closed $32 Million Series A—the company compressed an 18-month journey from pre-seed to Series A by focusing ruthlessly on CNC machine tending. In this episode of Category Visionaries, I sat down with Asad Tirmizi, Founder of Trener Robotics, to unpack how 14 years of research in robotics and AI converged with market timing to create what judges recognized as this year's biggest innovation in machining—despite the founding team having zero machining expertise. Topics Discussed: Why Trener Robotics chose CNC machine tending over higher-visibility applications like airplane cleaning The capital efficiency trade-offs between sales cycle length, development complexity, and runway Partnering with three of the five largest robot OEMs controlling 4.3 million of 5 million deployed units Expanding to six countries (Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Portugal, Spain, US) through integrator networks Converting technical curiosity into closed deals in a risk-averse industry with 60-year-old workflows Building training materials in Portuguese for markets the founding team has never visited GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Sales cycle length determines survival, not TAM size: Trener Robotics rejected compelling applications with massive TAM like airplane cleaning because sales cycles would burn through runway before reaching scale. Asad was explicit: "If your sales cycle is too long, your funding is too less and your development time is too much, that's it, you're out of business." They chose CNC machine tending specifically because manufacturers already budget for robots, understand ROI calculations, and have existing vendor relationships. Calculate your actual time-to-close from first meeting to signed contract, multiply by customer acquisition cost, and build your runway model around that reality—not the TAM slide in your deck. Niche dominance beats horizontal expansion every time: Despite having technology capable of 100+ applications, Trener Robotics committed to machine tending exclusively. Asad's framework: "Making 100 skills is easy. Distributing 100 skills, maintaining 100 skills, marketing hundred skills—that's where most startups break when scaling, not when incubating." The constraint forced them to become the definitive solution for one workflow, enabling repeatable sales motions and concentrated marketing spend. Most founders intellectually agree with focus but fail operationally—they take revenue from adjacent use cases "just this once." Don't. Pick your beachhead, win it completely, then use that cash cow to fund expansion. Industry awards are underutilized credibility hacks: Trener Robotics won the Machine Tool Innovation Award—the machining industry's most prestigious recognition—despite being roboticists with no machining background. This wasn't luck. They studied what innovations historically won, trained their models on data that would produce award-worthy results, and positioned the submission around industry pain points. The award opened OEM partnership conversations that would have taken years otherwise. Identify the 2-3 awards that matter in your category, reverse-engineer what wins, and build your product roadmap accordingly. Third-party validation converts skeptical enterprise buyers faster than any sales deck. Channel partner economics need structural win-win design: Trener Robotics secured partnerships with three of the five largest robot OEMs (controlling 86% of deployed units globally) by solving a specific problem: OEMs sell hardware but lose recurring revenue to system integrators who program robots. Trener Robotics' AI models let OEMs capture software subscription revenue while reducing integrator programming costs. Asad acknowledged they're still learning: "I would not by any stretch of imagination say we have proven how good we are in managing channel partners. It's a journey we are on." But the structural economics work because both sides make more money. When designing channel programs, don't just offer margin points—restructure the value chain so partners access new revenue pools they couldn't capture before. Interest signals are worthless without conversion timeline mapping: Asad's painful admission: "Interest does not mean sales. Pilots do not mean sales. Even letter of interest or contracts to test your equipment does not mean sales." As a technical founder, he initially conflated technical validation with buying intent. The fix: obsessively measure time between interest signal and closed deal, then segment by customer type, deal size, and decision-maker level. Only after mapping this could they accurately forecast and avoid the "too much time in the gray area of interest turning to sales" trap. Build a conversion funnel that tracks days-in-stage, not just stage progression percentages. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.
