What a stellar line-up of speakers we had to kick off 2025: Pendulum Summit Speakers. The Pendulum Summit was held last week in Dublin's Convention Centre on the 8th and 9th of January. Reviewed by Marie-Clare Byard @NowMediaLive. This annual event brings together both local and international speakers from diverse fields, including psychology, technology, sport, military, AI, futurism, and more. Running for over a decade, it was founded by Irish former professional rugby star Frankie Sheahan and his wife, Norma Sheahan. Nick Santonastasso - Overcoming Challenges - Personal Growth Nick was born with a rare genetic disorder, Hanhart Syndrome, leaving him with no legs and only one arm. He was the 12th baby in medical history with this diagnosis. Growing up in New York City, he endured being called names like "cripple" and "freak" and was told he would never amount to anything. At 14, he contemplated suicide but found strength in fitness, bodybuilding and wrestling, an extraordinary choice given his physique. He moved to Florida to pursue wrestling, he joined a gym, was invited to a mastermind group and went along, curious to see what it was about, here he connected with his now business partner. At just 28, Nick had no idea who Tony Robbins was when his business partner promised to get him on stage with Robbins. Today, Nick is based in Dubai, motivating global audiences and working alongside Tony Robbins. As Nick says, "You are the sum of the people you surround yourself with." https://x.com/Irish_TechNews/status/1876933342228095333 Ray Nolan - Entrepreneurship Ray Nolan left school at 16, taught himself coding, and became a software expert. Observing the cumbersome process of booking hostels, he invested €100,000 to develop Hostelworld, which eventually sold for just over €200 million. Not content to rest, Ray was back at work a week later. He pitched a bid to buy Skyscanner, but the deal didn't happen. Ray was later invited by the 3 owners to join Skyscanner as Chairman to help them exit. His secret? Informal pub chats with each founder to understand their true goals for the business and in life, he helped grow an initial $30 million offer to a $1.8 billion sale. His mantra? "Make it easy to buy." https://x.com/Irish_TechNews/status/1876968516416311549 Dr. Heather McKee - Behavioural Psychology "Happiness is the key to long-term success," said Dr Heather McKee. Combining academic research with practical insights, she helps people build sustainable habits. Her advice: "Create a joy list" and layer habits onto moments of joy. She insists, "There's no secret ingredient. You are the only one who can change your habits." Ask her about habits, and she'll dive deeper than you've ever seen. https://x.com/Irish_TechNews/status/1876999939009482764 Jimmy Carr - Humour in Leadership Jimmy's talk was as edgy as expected. He remarked that the cause of "woke culture" is the overproduction of elite schools! He advocated teaching storytelling in schools to help people find their authentic voice. "The shortest distance between two people is a laugh," he said. He also reflected on the pain of being cancelled, he observed, "It's not the words of your enemies, but the silence of your friends" that cuts deepest. We are tribal and need to come together. Show the world who you are, not shouting affirmations in the mirror! Give empathy and agency to both those you like and don't like. Dr. Lollie Mancey, Anthropologist, future readiness "Knowledge is not in deficit, but be cautious about what you outsource to AI," advised Dr Lollie Mancey. She emphasised that our brains, like our bodies, need regular exercise. "If you don't use it, you lose it." Dr Mancey highlighted our growing dependence on technology, noting that losing our smartphone triggers the same "fight or flight" response as a physical threat, underscoring the emotional impact, when viewed under a brain scan. Our brains are now deeply intertwined with our smartphones! On AI, she mentioned t...

Description: In part two of this epic conversation, we continue our journey around the globe with Sydney Hatmaker to hear about some of the amazing adventures and experiences had during her six months travelling across Europe and Asia on a tiny budget. In this episode: ● We hear how staying connected while travelling can have some serious pros and cons ● Sydney tells us about the 200 hours of intense yoga training she underwent in the magical landscape of the Indian Himalayan Mountains ● She tells us about her heart-pounding experience climbing a (LITERAL) active volcano, Mount Rinjani in Indonesia, and how it was the hardest thing she has ever done ● And Sydney tells us how she ultimately decided that it was time to hang up the backpack and come back home. As you dream and make plans for 2025, we hope this episode inspires you to broaden your horizons, to take chances, and to say yes to new things. One thing we are sure of is that this once-in-a-lifetime adventure is sure to be repeated. The only question is where will we go? *** Thought-provoking Quotes: I get why people climb mountains. It's so empowering. You push up hard against the growing edge of your own limits. I didn't even know that I was capable of pushing myself that hard. You just take that feeling and it's contagious, it spreads to other parts of your life. – Sydney Hatmaker I met this amazing 70 year old woman in one of my hosels in Turkey who started backpacking when she retired. She had been all throughout the entirety of the Middle East. She was so incredible. We all gathered around her. She had the most incredible stories. – Sydney Hatmaker Resources Mentioned in This Episode: The 9 Enneagram Types Descriptions - https://www.enneagraminstitute.com/type-descriptions/ Skyscanner - https://www.skyscanner.com/ Rick Steves Travel Guides - https://amzn.to/41mKeFX Berghain Techno Club in Berlin - https://bit.ly/4gfaMNq Sagrada Familia - https://sagradafamilia.org/en/ Jen's MeCamp - https://bit.ly/3D1qX2I The Banana Pancake Trail - https://trail.bananabackpacks.com/banana-pancake-trail/ Hostel World - https://www.hostelworld.com/ Pyramid Yogshala Yoga School - https://pyramidyogshala.com/ Guest's Links: Connect with Jen!

Description: At 24 years old, Jennifer Hatmaker was parenting her first diaper baby on no sleep as a stay-at-home mom and pastor's wife. By contrast, Jen's second-born, Sydney Hatmaker, spent half of her 24th year on a gap year travelling the world and banking a lifetime of memories. In this special two-part conversation, Sydney walks us through some of the best moments and lessons learned from her life-changing adventure, beginning in May in Berlin and ending in October in Vietnam. With stops along the way in Sicily, Turkey, Portugal, Spain, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, and Thailand, Sydney gives us some of her best tips for travelling solo on a shoestring budget. It might entail a 40-hour journey taking a car to a bus to a ferry to a bus, to another ferry, to a train, to a taxi, to a scooter, to a hostel, all to save $60, but the point is it can be done and she's here to inspire us all with tales from her adventure. Highlights from this conversation include: In our GenXcellence Travel-Edition, we reflect on what travel was like for us in the 80s-90s, before satellites and cell phones and Expedia (Sydney has never heard of Traveller's Cheques) Sydney gives us her best tips for getting into one of the world's most popular techno clubs in Berlin (shh! It's very hush-hush!) We learn about surfing camp on the coastline of the Portuguese Riviera Why you need to budget more for European travel than Asian travel and how you can eat in Asia on $4 a day Sydney talks about learning to be comfortable travelling on her own and being in her own company – something she thought she was already good at but was pushed to new limits And a lot more….. Be sure to tune in for part two of our conversation next week to hear how the story ends. *** Thought-provoking Quotes: I didn't have a phone for the last two months of my trip. I still had a laptop so when I was at the hostel on wifi, I could do research and book things but it was a different kind of travel. I made the most of it and it ended up being a bit of an adventure.I obviously had an initial reaction of panic (not having a phone) but then I felt this complete freedom. – Sydney Hatmaker I did have some big ideas that I would get something out of my system on this trip, that I would come home and settle down, get a real job, root down in one place but halfway through my trip I realized there is so much more (in the world) that I want to see. There's so much to do, so much to see and explore and so many ways to make it happen. – Sydney Hatmaker Travelling feels different and way more real when you're by yourself. I love my own company and my company is better than some random person that I'm not really connecting with. And realizing that, makes it really easy to connect with more people. – Sydney Hatmaker Resources Mentioned in This Episode: The 9 Enneagram Types Descriptions - https://www.enneagraminstitute.com/type-descriptions/ Skyscanner - https://www.skyscanner.com/ Rick Steves Travel Guides - https://amzn.to/41mKeFX Berghain Techno Club in Berlin - https://bit.ly/4gfaMNq Sagrada Familia - https://sagradafamilia.org/en/ Jen's MeCamp - https://bit.ly/3D1qX2I The Banana Pancake Trail - https://trail.bananabackpacks.com/banana-pancake-trail/ Hostel World - https://www.hostelworld.com/ Pyramid Yogshala Yoga School - https://pyramidyogshala.com/ Guest's Links: Connect with Jen!

At the weekend, Cherries became the first team to beat Man United at Old Trafford by three goals in consecutive games after another stunning 3-0 victory which propelled Andoni Iraola's side to FIFTH in the Premier League.

The holidays are coming fast! There will be a lot of scheduling, planning, and prepping for the busy season's festivities, especially holiday travel. For those of you hitting the road or flying out to celebrate the holidays or even to get away, you can do a few things to save a little money on this season's holiday travel planning.

Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter! Learn more about Triangle Credit Union Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast. The holidays are known for fun festivities and moments of cheer and delight, but if you remain unprepared for too long it can get stressful fast. For those who know they'll be traveling to see friends or family, it's time to start planning that travel so you'll have one less thing to worry about during the peak season. In this episode I'll share a few strategies to save some money on any upcoming travel expenses. Set a budget. Have a clear budget in mind on what you'll be spending on holiday travel. Set up a separate budget sheet for flights, any car rentals, lodging, food and holiday activities. Use a spreadsheet, budgeting app or even old-fashioned pen and paper to lay out every expenditure. Setting a budget and planning out how much you can spend for the holiday trip will help keep your expenses within affordable means and prevent the post-holiday spending hangover that can occur once the bills start rolling in. For those worried about affording holiday travel expenses this year, check out seasonal holiday loans, like Triangle's Holiday Cash personal loan. These loans offer a great opportunity to borrow plenty of cash to afford most holiday expenses at an affordable rate. Book early. If you're flying, book as early as possible to ensure you get the right deals and competitive pricing. Also, be selective about which days to travel. Some days are less busy than others, which means you could score lower ticket prices. Rearranging your travel schedule to avoid heavy travel days can save you quite a bit of money. If you're looking for an easy way to help price out and compare flights, try using flight comparison and travel apps like Expedia, Priceline and Skyscanner. If you have credit card points, now is a good time to cash them in. Regardless of how many you have, look into applying them towards as many travel costs as you can. Any opportunity to save on expenses during the holiday season is great! Explore benefit programs and travel bonuses. Many credit card companies offer travel bonuses and perks just for being a cardholder. You may get complimentary access to airport lounges, discounts, and other travel benefits for low or no cost. Take some time to explore your credit card program benefits to see what additional perks might be available for your holiday travel. Set aside a little extra money to prepare for the unexpected. It's the holidays, and you're traveling. There's a chance that spontaneous delays and cancellations can occur. If travel issues do arise for whatever reason, make sure you have some emergency money available. A mixture of cash and credit cards are good to have on hand while traveling so you can relax knowing there's additional money available for any unexpected needs. If there are any other tips or topics you'd like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org. Like and follow our Making Money Personal FB and IG page, and look for our sponsor, Triangle Credit Union, on social media to share your thoughts.

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I explore the evolving landscape of cybersecurity in retail with Veroniki Stamati, Director of Security Engineering and Operations at Tesco. Veroniki's experience spans a variety of industries, including online platforms like PokerStars and Skyscanner, giving her a unique perspective on how technology can drive innovation while ensuring security. Veroniki shares her transition from the travel and entertainment industries to the retail sector, offering insights into how Tesco harnesses technology to protect its vast customer base. She delves into her current role, where she leads a team focused on building secure products, while balancing the need for innovation and security.

Throughout the conversation, Veroniki sheds light on the most pressing security threats facing the retail industry today, such as data theft, customer-targeted scams, and the impact of regulatory changes. We also touch on the exciting role that generative AI is playing in shaping the future of security operations, especially in data management. Diversity in tech is another key focus. Veroniki highlights Tesco's efforts to increase female representation and foster diversity of thought within security roles. Programs like "train, deploy, hire," along with partnerships with STEM programs and tech colleges, are creating new opportunities for a diverse talent pool to enter the security space.
Hello, and welcome to episode 153! This week, I am joined by Marie DeCosse, the founder and CEO of Nomad Travel Groups, which launched a week before this podcast episode's release. Read below for a description of what Nomad Travel Groups can offer.As founder Marie DeCosse sat with friends gazing at the tranquil waves ebbing from the coast of Saboga, Panama, a conversation unfolded about life's joys—relationships, freedom, and travel. This conversation sparked a realization: why work tirelessly only to savour such moments a few times a year?With a background in international tax and a passion for travel, Marie created NOMAD to transform conventional home and time-sharing models."This generation was given an early taste of what work-life balance means. We've learned we don't need desk chains or lengthy commutes to succeed," says Marie. Recognizing a gap in the travel industry, NOMAD was born—a home-sharing service that caters to a new breed of travellers seeking long-term stays without logistical headaches and monetary constraints. NOMAD simplifies travel by curating Travel Groups aligned with location and property preferences, fostering connections, and streamlining arrangements—all at an accessible price point. We are the accommodation solution for the modern-day traveller. Marie joined me to discuss everything with Nomad, and I asked every question I could think of to give the listener the best possible idea of this new business within the travel space. I also get to hear about Marie's upbringing in Madascagar and Bangladesh and the return culture shock of going back to the USA. Marie is half Senegalese, so we hear why that country is a must to visit, especially because of the people and food. We hear about Marie's dream place in Europe to be located in the future, her challenges with setting up a new business, why being Senegalese culture is her favourite, and so much more!It's a super exciting product and a great conversation.

Today, he is back to talk about a recent trip to the Baltics, a month-long trip to Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. We talk about hidden gems in those places and why these areas are some of Europe's quietest during the summer. There are recommendations for bear tours, castles, small old towns and great city breaks. We also discuss the political situation and how it impacts people in those countries and travel. We also get to discuss one of Dave's most recent YouTube videos about his father's hometown of Niagara on the USA side. He explains how this once thriving city is now desolate and struggling in modern times. This episode has many other subjects, such as climate change, regional accents in the UK, the production of travel YouTube videos, and the Amish community. It was a fascinating chat.

Today is the first of a new kind of episode. Just like my destination specials are a slightly different format, today is the first in a series of "Epic Adventures" where my guest may not necessarily be a household name, but has achieved remarkable feats in the world of travel and adventure. Ed Jackson is the perfect guest to kick this off, as someone whose story is bound to leave you inspired and in awe.Once a professional rugby player, Ed's life took a dramatic turn in 2017. He's here in part to talk about his new documentary film, "The Mountain Within Me," which chronicles his journey from the rugby field to the mountaintops. The film isn't just about physical challenges; it's about the mental and emotional mountains we all face and how we can overcome them. In this episode, we'll dive deep into Ed's story, exploring the highs and lows of his recovery, his newfound passion for mountaineering, and the profound lessons he's learned along the way, as well as touching on some of his travel diaries chapters in the latter half of the episode, too. From tragedy to triumph, one step at a time, here are the epic adventures of Ed Jackson. Holly's Destination Recap:Papaioannou.

This episode is different from the previous one as Erin quit her job to travel the world for 165 days this year (2024). As we have both been on 'big' trips in recent times, I thought it would be great to hear about Erin's trip first and foremost and then dive into some intriguing questions about what we both thought on different aspects of travel post-COVID.We dive into the reasons for Erin quitting her job to travel, each part of the trip, including Tanzania, Greece, Sri Lanka (and more!), the cost of the trip, what her backup fund was, what she thought of travel in a post-COVID world, whether it was as transformative as her last big trip in 2017 and so much more! There is an important lesson and story in this episode about the need for travel insurance, which everyone should take note of, and very apt for this episode's sponsor, too! Erin is one of my favourite people in travel, and she has an awesome podcast named the Curious Tourism: Responsible Travel Podcast. She took a break during her trip but plans to get stuck into a new season in the coming months towards the end of the year. She is also among the most respected travel bloggers out there, with her Pina Travels blog, which is great for all sorts of information on many countries and subjects related to travel.Check out the links below. I last saw Erin in person during my big trip last year in Toronto, and it was great to hop on a call for three hours to record an episode and catch up! If you have any questions about our trips, please send a note to my email below or DM me on Instagram.Enjoy.

This is a review of my last 250 episodes, 150 of which have been guest episodes. The first half is a fun little game as I record on the fly with a number generator on Google, asking it to pick a random number between 1 and 150 (concentrating on the guest episodes). Whatever number comes up, I will give you thirty seconds as to why you should listen to that episode. A little test for my memory!The second half is more stats and reflections on the previous 250 episodes, including lessons learned, the different stages of the podcast, what is to come for the next 250 and much more! Thanks to everyone tuning in, and here is to the next 250! Cheers, JamesPatreon Shout-OutThanks to Laura Hammond for supporting this podcast.
