On this very special episode Gratitude Through Hard Times, Host Chris Schembra and his guest, Drahomíra Mandikova, celebrate meaningful connection and its power to generate profitable solutions not just for shareholders but the world at large. Chief Corporate Affairs Officer at Asahi Europe & International, “Drahus” (as she is known to friends) shares with us the unique North Star principles that drive one of the world's largest alcoholic and non-alcoholic beer companies, with 19 breweries exporting to 90 markets globally. You will be intrigued to learn about the meaning, power and intentionality behind Asahi's emphasis on four simple words: “Let's have a beer.” It's about bringing awareness and building community – person to person – as the foundation to individual wellness and a sustainable “human-environmental ecosystem.” For Drahus, the first step is the critical one: Pause. Reflect on the talent, passion and ultimate purpose you bring, as well as the legacy you wish to leave. Her values-driven vision has shaped Prague-based Asahi's workplace culture and brought clarity to the company's mission statement. “We have all these goals,” says Drahus, “but to really bring them to life and enjoy the good feeling, we need to be in the present, work together and create connections to step-by-step bring about those long-term dreams.” We are on the road together, folks, and it starts with gratitude!If you'd like to learn more about Chris and his 7:47 Virtual Gratitude Experience or subscribe to our newsletter, please visit this link.Click here to hear more fascinating conversations with Fortune 500 CEOs, professional athletes and entertainerswho have shared their human stories on Gratitude Through Hard Times. KEY TOPICS:If you could thank someone who helped you through some of your darkest hours, who would that be and what were you going through? A mentor with an especially keen way of helping Drahus unhitch from unnecessary catastrophizing and impatience.A Moment of Reflection: About the importance of taking a pause to come into the present, then step into the past through reflection.2030 Legacy of Good: How Drahus and Asahi's company culture have coalesced around a mission based on a multidimensional balance of past, present and future.A Mentor's Advice: About Inner Child work and how it can reintegrate intuition and help return us to the essence of who we are and wish to be.Empathy is Everything: Why Drahus believes that the companies that actually care about the human-environmental ecosystem in which they function will bring profitable solutions to very real pain points. A win-win-win!Embracing Failure: False starts and falling short are part of a holistic learning process.Brand Purpose: About the Asahi brand's commitment to fostering a sense of belonging and community for its tens of millions of consumers.Remarkable Marketing: How Asahi has mounted campaigns that bring people together, helping them feel connected and seen on a personal, human level.The Problem of Loneliness: About the creative ways Asahi's multi-national team is trying to build bridges – old to young, left to right, across lifestyles and geographies.Asahi's Legacy Mission Includes Being Bold:Speak directly and compassionately to tough issues, like mental health.Moving 20% of the corporate portfolio into nonalcoholic beverages.Beer as a vehicle for making meaningful connections.Drahus's Personal Purpose: Making business and environmental growth sustainable.What She's Up To:Coordinating breweries across Europe to build sustainability into their production.Creating a strategy to ensure Asahi becomes carbon neutral.Midwifing a new economic model driven by profitable solutions for all stakeholders – not exclusively profit for shareholders.Action Item: All purpose-filled journeys start with a pause to reflect and re-center on your personal talents, passion and the positive impact you wish to make.Remember: When we are clear about ourselves and our purpose, the work comes into focus – and it becomes easier to shed obligations and distractions that do not serve!Why Do We Do What We Do? From intentionality flows business success and ultimately a healthier, more sustainable world.Parting Thought:Focus on what you want to know say “no” to rather than what's driving you to say “yes.”Resist the shiny things that distract your ego but don't serve your greater purpose or desire to create impact.Meaningful connection is fueled by gratitude – and makes life much, much easier. QUOTABLE“We have all these goals … but to really bring them to life and enjoy the good feeling, we need to be in the present, work together and create connections to step-by-step bring about those long-term dreams.” (Drahus) “You have to have a long-term dream so that you know where you're going.” (Drahus) “Be proud of the past so you can build the confidence and learning, but what is really important is how you bring everything to the present: Your ‘self,' your actions, reflecting on the future and also on the past.” (Drahus) “One of the biggest pain points I see in our world is the loneliness epidemic, the idea that there are a lot of people on this planet who are disconnected or do not feel seen.” (Chris) “Belonging is not about blending in. It's not about meeting people that believe in the same things that you believe in. Belonging is about showing up as you authentically are and being accepted.” (Chris) “My purpose now is really to advocate for a new era for businesses to think about the new economy, where we are moving from maximizing profit for shareholders to bringing profitable solutions for all stakeholders.” (Drahus) “Whether you're an accountant, a lawyer or CEO of a software firm, you can find your purpose and it can be as simple as creating meaningful connections with others.” (Chris) “Years from now – when we've long passed on – maybe someone will look back on our life and say, ‘They made others feel safe, seen and heard.' And if that's your purpose, it's going to be a great legacy – and lead to some good profitable growth!” (Chris) LINKS/FURTHER RESOURCES:Click here to listen to episode 225, featuring Geoff McDonald's insights into Mental health and well-being.Listen to Johann Hari's Ted talk, "Everything You Think You Know About Addiction is Wrong." ABOUT OUR GUEST:Drahomíra started her career working for the banking sector in Slovakia.

Inside today's Locked on Canadiens The Montreal Canadiens made some roster moves ahead of Wednesday's game against the New York Islanders! While Frederic Allard wasn't a total surprise, the Canadiens rewarded forward Joël Teasdale with his first NHL call-up and his first game against the Islanders. Scott breaks down Teasdale's path to his NHL debut, and why it's a perfect ending point for the Habs this year, and a huge benefit for the Laval Rocket as well. First overall pick Juraj Slafkovsky has resumed skating as he recovers from his lower body injury. With the massive Slovak getting back into game shape, it's time to put on the hindsight goggles and examine whether or not the Canadiens made the right choices with his rookie season. Was going to the AHL a better option, would he have even been kept in the NHL if the Habs were healthy? Finally, with all the shenanigans surrounding the Toronto Maple Leafs and their goalies, and the Habs trying to keep the Rocket as loaded as possible, what can Montreal do to keep Cayden Primeau in the AHL right now? Scott examines signing someone on an AHL contract to an NHL one, or better yet adding a prospect on an entry-level deal to fill the void for at least one game. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Joining me today is Professor Kimberly Craft- attorney and legal historian- to explore the life of the 16th-century "Blood Countess" of Hungary, Erzsebet Bathory. Reputed to be both a vampire and the world's worst female serial killer, she allegedly bathed in the blood of her 650 victims. Much has been written about the so-called Infamous Lady, Tiger of Csejthe, and Blood Countess, by the 21st century, the accounts of her life have becomeso fictionalised that the Countess is little more than a caricature. History has painted the Countess as an insane murderess; yet original letters, trial transcripts, and depositions indicate a far more complicated figure- the wife of a national war hero, a mother, generous benefactor, and socialite who routinely attended court and even the King's coronation, just months before her arrest. For English readers, unfortunately, much of the primary source material about the Countess has remained inaccessible with European researchers having translated it primarily into German or Slovak. Professor Kimberly Craft, has spent years researching facts on the Countess and over a year translating these original European sources into English.  Much of the material -the complete trial transcripts, depositions of 306 testifying witnesses, private letters, and the Last Will and Testament-have now been fully translated into English and are available, for the first time, to the general public. Based on this newly-found and translated source material, translated into English for the first time, we were able to dive into the actual life and trial of Countess Bathory and explore the woman, the myth and legend as well as the complexities to her nature.

One year after Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine, many are wondering what the next phase of the war will be. A peace agreement appears increasingly elusive as China and Iran have stepped in to assist Vladimir Putin in his war effort, meanwhile Americans are losing patience with what appears to be another prolonged proxy war. For Episode 17 of the Border Wars Podcast, we sit down with Ilan Berman, national security expert and the Senior Vice President of the American Foreign Policy Council, to help us explain the nuances of the Russia-Ukraine War and describe the geopolitical significance of Vladimir Putin's motives in his aggression against Slovak nations and what can come next as he attempts to reestablish the Russian Empire and spark World War 3.

30 years ago this month, Czechoslovakia split into the separate states of the Czech Republic and Slovakia. It was a rare instance of a state separating without a single life being lost. Thanks to this it became known as the ‘Velvet Divorce'. Rather than putting it to a vote, the country and its assets were divided behind closed doors by the Czech and Slovak leaders, Václav Klaus and Vladimír Mečiar, who became the Prime Ministers of their newly independent states. Ben Henderson speaks to both of them about their memories from the time. (Photo: Václav Klaus and Vladimír Mečiar negotiate the split. Credit: Zehl Igor/ČTK)

On this episode, Cullan talks with Professor Michal Kšiňan about his monograph on the Slovak national hero and co-founder of Czechoslovakia, Milan Rastislav Štefánik. Michal talks about Štefánik's military career and meteoric rise and the place he continues to hold in Czechoslovakia history and memory. Thanks for listening! ABOUT THE BOOK https://www.routledge.com/authors/i21001-michal-kian This is the first scientific biography of Milan Rastislav Štefánik (1880–1919) that is focused on analysing the process of how he became the Slovak national hero. Although he is relatively unknown internationally, his contemporaries compared him “to Choderlos de Laclos for the use of military tactics in love affairs, to Lawrence of Arabia for vision, to Bonaparte for ambition ... and to one of apostles for conviction”. He played the key role in founding an independent Czechoslovakia in 1918 through his relentless worldwide travels during the First World War in order to create the Czechoslovak Army: he visited Serbia and Romania on the eve of invasion by the Central Powers, Russia before the February revolution, the United States after it declared war on Germany, Italy dealing with the consequences of defeat in the Caporetto battle, and again when Russia plunged into Civil War. Several historical methods are used to analyse the aforementioned central research question of this biography such as social capital to explain his rise in French society, the charismatic leader to understand how he convinced and won over a relatively large number of people; more traditional political, military, and diplomatic history to show his contribution to the founding of Czechoslovakia, and memory studies to analyse his extraordinary popularity in Slovakia. By mapping his intriguing life, the book will be of interest to scholars in a broad range of areas including history of Central Europe, especially Czechoslovakia, international relations, social history, French society at the beginning of the 20th century and biographical research. ABOUT THE GUEST Michal Kšiňan is a researcher at the Institute of History of the Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava. He defended his PhD theses in history summa cum laude in 2011. He wrote his PhD theses en cotutelle between University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, where he later also lectured (2018–2019), and the Institute of History of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava where he currently works. He wrote several books about Štefánik, edited or coedited 5 volumes and published dozens of scientific papers on different topics. His works were published in Slovak, French, English, Italian, German and Russian. In 2006, he graduated from history and French language and literature at the Faculty of Pedagogy, Comenius University, Bratislava. In 2007, he got his Master 2 recherche from Contemporary Central European History at University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. PRODUCER'S NOTE: This episode was recorded on November 1, 2022 via Zoom.
