Send your questions or provocations to Adam or Budi here!In this episode, Adam and Budi come together whilst in Bali to discuss their sixth book club episode for the year - The Second Circle, by Patsy Rodenburg.Patsy Rodenburg OBE, born and raised in London, is widely regarded as the world's leading voice teacher and coach, with over 40 years' experience of returning individuals and groups to their natural voice and presence.Patsy is a renowned authority on Shakespeare, and she combines principles found in classical theatrical texts (including classic Greek texts) with the study of the body, breath and voice. Her unique methodology brings one into the centre of one's voice and presence.Anyone who uses their voice, especially those in positions of great power, must first re-learn the foundational principles of breath work, body and vocal preparation, in order to have great presence and impact when speaking and listening. After working with Patsy, her clients experience a deep shift in their voice, presence, and breath and ultimately in areas of their professional and personal lives.Mentioned in this episodeEcosiaSupport the Show.If you enjoyed this week´s podcast, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

In this profound episode of The Speaker Driven Business, Jacqueline Nagle lets us in on an illuminating conversation with Sophie Scott, an accomplished Australian journalist who boldly transitioned into professional speaking and carved out remarkable success for herself. Sophie offers insights from delivering her first TEDx talk on recovering from burnout. She reveals a crucial realisation — that she needs to evolve from being a straightforward, instructive journalist to becoming an engaging, relatable speaker. Jacqueline and Sophie dive deeper into key learnings, including narrowing content to impactfully deliver what the audience can absorb, the discomfort of new challenges, letting messages land through strategic pausing, and grounding yourself physically when you're up on stage. Sophie also stresses embodying emotions so audiences feel moved rather than just informed. This enlightening and amusing episode lets us further unearth other gems — the significance of vocal variety, the concept of being in the Second Circle when presenting, and the value of discerning feedback. Peppered with vulnerable reflections and sprinkled with laughter, this episode will leave you feeling connected, motivated, and re-energized about the exhilarating craft of impactful speaking.

Die Zahl der Frauen, die ein Unternehmen gründen, wird jedes Jahr größer. Waren es in Deutschland 2017 noch 14%, waren es 2022 bereits 20,3%. In Europa sieht es ähnlich aus. Trotzdem bleibt die Frage: Warum gibt es diesen Gender-Gap bei Gründungen? Die Ursachen sind vielfältig: Frauen fühlen sich durch das Image der Start-Upper à la Elon Musk oder Mark Zuckerberg nicht angesprochen. Studien haben rausgefunden: Frauen gründen oft nachhaltig und sozial und eher selten im Tech-Bereich. Als größte Hürde im Gründungsprozess wird die mangelnde Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Arbeit gesehen. In diesem Podcast kommen Unternehmerinnen aus Deutschland und Europa und die erste deutsche Professorin für Female Entrepreneurship zusammen.

Whenever you listen to a Dazion (@thedazion) DJ set or new club track, you can hear how much fun he has with his music. The Hague man likes it rough and ready whether making bleep techno, acid breaks or new beat with whatever bit of forgotten hardware he can find. He's done so on labels including Second Circle, Safe Trip and Animals Dancing and always manages to capture the essence of what made the rave days so glorious while updating it with his own leftfield character. Next up for him is Grooveboxxx, a new album on Dekmantel that pays homage to The Hague's 80s and 90s club scene all made with just one bit of "entry-level gear," the Roland MC-303 Groovebox. Dazion opens this week's mix with a custom introduction inspired by the old Turn up the Bass TV spots and takes in some jams on that same MC-303 and a serval rips from early 90s rave CDs. It starts rather dreamy and serene before cracking up through the gears to get more weird. High energy rhythms, flailing percussive patterns and bulbous basslines all make for a helluva ride.

Walking With Dante

In Canto V of INFERNO, we've come to the second circle of hell, where the winds of lust howl. But not quite yet. First, we must meet a connoisseur of sin: Minos. He determines which circle of hell you belong in. With a couple of exceptions. Because it's Dante--who's always restless, never quite settled! As we walk slowly across the universe in THE DIVINE COMEDY, we should expect to find things that puzzle us. And here, as usual, part of the problem is Virgil. Is he the sure guide he pretends to be? Join me, Mark Scarbrough, in this episode of the podcast WALKING WITH DANTE as we descend a level and push further, yes, into hell, but also into irony, opacity, and puzzlement. Here are the segments of this episode: [00:54] My English translation of this passage from INFERNO: Canto V, Lines 1 - 24. You can find this passage on my website, markscarbrough.com. [02:47] The descent from the first circle to the second--and thoughts on the increasingly clear landscape of hell. [04:48] Minos, the sure judge. I'll give you the passage from THE AENEID from which Dante-the-poet cribs this figure. And offer a couple of interpretive issues. Fiurst, he appears to judge without words. And second, he's not a traditional demon at all. [11:29] Questions about determinism ("bad-born soul")--but more importantly, answers about the nature of grace. That is, one must accept the gifts of grace when they're offered. or to put it another way, to be damned is to accept the gifts of grace too late. [16:22] The judgment itself, as Minos wraps his tail around himself--except this brings up further questions of Limbo and we're reminded again of its stangeness. [19:51] Hell as a landscape with a traveler's motel! And lots about Virgil: Minos' warning, Virgil's spell that works again, and the very strangeness of Virgil himself, the embodiment of the ambivalence of Limbo, following us (and leading the pilgrim!) across the universe.

She also hosts and produces her own sex podcast, The Second Circle.   We talked all around the shop today.  We talked about loss of interest in a partner, loss of interest in sex.  We talked about how interest in sex develops and how it can be trendy to try certain things.  We spoke about how often what we are interested is socially conditioned and how often it is context driven.    For example, someone may enjoy a spanking as part of a role play but would not like one in any other type of sexual encounter.  We spoke about how liberating it would be to allow interest to wax and wane without panicing that we had to do something about it.    We spoek about where our interests arise from and whether there are better places and worse places to find inspiration.  We spoke about how people can find it really difficult to simply allow interest to be as it is and not seek to change it.   Franki Can be found at:   Website Link https://www.frankicookney.com   twitter link https://twitter.com/FrankiCookney   Don't forget her podcast, Second Circle.
