In this special birthday episode of Tea with Self, I reflect on turning 48, not as another year passing, but as a homecoming. This year feels different: lighter, softer, more grounded in who I am. I'm no longer chasing; I'm simply being. I share the quiet lessons that have shaped me through the decades, that ageing isn't decline but deepening, that peace is found in presence, and that self-love is a daily devotion, not a destination. From letting go of old patterns to tending to myself with softness and grace, this is an episode about embracing the woman I've become while welcoming the one I'm still becoming. Because every year is both a continuation and a new beginning, a reminder that the best is yet to come, and that we are already whole, already enough, right here, right now.

Tureckie seriale to dziś coś więcej niż rozrywka. To narzędzie wpływu, eksport emocji i wizji świata, które Turcja świadomie wykorzystuje jako soft power. Jak to się stało, że tureckie produkcje stały się drugim największym eksportowym hitem po Hollywood?O fenomenie tureckich seriali, ich globalnym sukcesie, politycznym wymiarze i wpływie na wizerunek Turcji rozmawiamy z Zuzanną Krzyżanowską-ekspertką OSW

Nasze państwo i naród rozporządzają bezcennymi zasobami. Na całym globie nikt, poza Polakami, nie ma tak unikalnej historii, kultury i tradycji. Mamy również wiele blizn, ale to nie one powinny być fundamentem naszej tożsamości. Amerykanie i Europejczycy oraz Azjaci nie mogą nadal postrzegać naszego kraju jako „tego miejsca, gdzie są obozy zagłady”, „kraju, gdzie tańczą niedźwiedzie na ulicy”, „jakiegoś małego kraiku z tragiczną historią w Europie wschodniej”. Państwo i naród mogą wpływać na innych nie tylko za pomocą siły ekonomicznej lub militarnej. Nasza klasa polityczna, środowiska biznesowe i artystyczne nie wykorzystują naszych zasobów i narzędzi miękkiej siły (soft power) w skuteczny sposób. Pozostałe artykuły możesz czytać na

Oxmo Puccino, poète et rappeur incontournable de la scène française, et Samah Karaki, neuroscientifique et autrice du livre Le talent est une fiction, sont mes invités pour un échange aussi puissant qu'intime sur le thème du talent. Ils ne se connaissaient pas avant cette rencontre mais ce sont 2 amis que je connais depuis longtemps pour Oxmo et plus récemment pour Samah.Cet épisode est réalisé en partenariat avec Breakbuild (merci mille fois Amaury)Ensemble, nous avons décidé de faire dialoguer deux personnes qui ne se connaissaient pas encore, mais que je connais profondément. L'idée ? Croiser deux regards – artistique et scientifique – sur une notion qui structure nos vies : le talent.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons du mythe du génie solitaire, des conditions matérielles invisibles qui rendent possible (ou non) l'expression du talent, du soft power des artistes, et de la pression sociale exercée sur ceux qui ont « réussi ». J'ai questionné Samah sur l'origine de son livre, sur l'illusion méritocratique, sur les biais sociaux qui invisibilisent tant de trajectoires. Et j'ai demandé à Oxmo comment il s'est construit en tant qu'artiste, comment il pense la création, la beauté, la transmission, et sa liberté vis-à-vis des injonctions économiques du monde de l'art.On parle aussi de Mozart, de Picasso, des pyramides d'Égypte, de l'enfance et de cette capacité incroyable que nous avons à nous émerveiller… ou à nous habituer. Une conversation sensible, posée, sans posture. Merci à Samah et Oxmo pour leur justesse, leur douceur, leur intelligence vive. C'est un épisode rare, comme je les aime.5 citations marquantes« Le talent est une promesse. » – Oxmo Puccino« Ce que nous sommes est en grande, grande partie fait de circonstances. » – Samah Karaki« Le talent est fait pour être gâché. Beaucoup moins le travail. » – Oxmo Puccino« Comprendre ne tue pas l'émerveillement. » – Samah Karaki« On ne crée pas pour vendre. On partage une émotion. » – Oxmo Puccino10 questions structurées posées dans l'interviewPourquoi as-tu écrit un livre sur le talent ?Comment t'es-tu construit en tant qu'artiste ?Qu'est-ce que le talent signifie pour toi ?Que penses-tu de la notion de mérite ?En quoi les conditions sociales influencent-elles l'émergence du talent ?Peut-on séparer la personne de son œuvre ?Comment abordes-tu ton processus créatif ?Penses-tu que la création artistique doit être rentable ?Que reste-t-il de la beauté universelle aujourd'hui ?Comment la stabilité affective influence-t-elle un parcours ?Timestamps clés pour YouTube00:00 – Introduction de l'épisode et rencontre des invités01:00 – Samah explique la genèse de son livre sur le talent03:00 – Oxmo raconte sa construction artistique06:00 – Débat sur la notion de talent comme construction sociale10:00 – L'influence des conditions socio-économiques15:00 – Le népotisme et la complexité de l'héritage familial20:00 – La beauté, le mystère et le rôle de l'émerveillement30:00 – Le talent face à la norme et aux attentes du public40:00 – Le processus créatif : émotion ou stratégie ?50:00 – Peut-on encore créer librement ?1:02:00 – Clôture, gratitude et réflexions finales Suggestion d'autres épisodes à écouter : #358 Raphaël Quenard & Charles Pépin : la solitude comme force vitale - confidences croisées (https://audmns.com/vZzkTNd) #337 Le piège de l'empathie avec Samah Karaki (https://audmns.com/CVkTKJQ) #206 Comment développer l'esprit critique chez les enfants?

China's soft power strategy has been largely unable to resonate with global audiences, but Labubus have taken the world by storm. From Thailand to Texas, Pop Mart stores are popping up to satiate consumers' desire for these collectable toys. Contrary to state-backed soft power strategies, Labubus tapped into organic market-driven trends, such as blind-box culture, to reach a wide and dedicated audience. Labubus can also serve as a gateway to China, introducing people to Chinese artists and incentivizing them to visit POPLAND in Beijing to collect exclusive toys. Are Labubus the exception to China's previous soft power pursuits, or a sign of a successful new strategy?  Natalia Cote-Muñoz joined us in September 2025 to share how Labubus are resonating across different cultures and changing the way people perceive China.  Learn more about the speaker and watch the video

Under Trump, the United States has pulled back from several efforts, including U.N. organizations, that have contributed to the country's so-called soft power goals. On the show today, Joshua Eisenman, professor of politics in the Keough School of Global Affairs at the University of Notre Dame, joins Kimberly to discuss the changing role of the U.S. in global politics and how China is seizing this moment to gain more influence.Here's everything we talked about today:"Trump tells UN in speech that it is 'not even coming close to living up' to its potential" from AP News"Geopolitics of Trump Tariffs: How U.S. Trade Policy Has Shaken Allies" from Council on Foreign Relations"How China Stands to Gain as the U.S. Steps Away From the U.N." from The New York Times"The Global South Won't Give Up on China" from Foreign RelationsIt's Marketplace's Fall Fundraiser!

Part 1 Shownotes In this eye-opening first part of a special two-part episode of "Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu," Tom sits down with Mike Benz—former State Department official, executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online, and a leading authority on the intersection of technology, media, and soft power. Benz unpacks the tangled web of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the shifting dynamics of global influence, and how soft power has supplanted traditional warfare in the modern era. Tom and Mike go deep into the true origins and motivations behind NGOs, illuminating how many of these organizations operate as statecraft tools, intelligence fronts, and economic levers for the world's elite. From the rise of philanthropic organizations as vehicles for influence to the coordinated manipulation of global media, Part 1 shines a light on the hidden infrastructure behind democracy building, narrative control, and regime change. Mike exposes the intricate interplay between hedge funds, government foreign policy, media, and activism—detailing how policy and profit become inextricably linked through a process he dubs "drafting off of policy." If you've ever questioned who really pulls the strings behind elections, color revolutions, and the headlines you read every day, this episode will give you a radical new lens through which to see the world.

Since 1951, when Tibet was formally annexed into the People's Republic of China, Tibet has been a battleground between China's efforts to assert control and the Tibetan people's struggle to preserve their cultural and religious identity. This past August, Xi Jinping made a surprise visit to Tibet, his second since becoming China's top leader in 2012. Less than two months earlier, the Dalai Lama, now 90 years old, announced that his office, not China, would choose his successor when he passes. A few months before that, the Dalai Lama revealed in a memoir that he would reincarnate outside of China. The PRC insists that the next incarnation – the 15th Dalai Lama – will be born inside PRC territory and approved by the Chinese government. What are Beijing's interests in Tibet and how has Xi Jinping pursued them since coming to power? What is likely to occur after the Dalai Lama's passing? I'm delighted to have as my guest today Tendor Dorjee. Tendor is an adjunct assistant professor of political science at Columbia University, a senior researcher at the Tibet Action Institute, and the inaugural Stephanie G Neuman Fellow at the Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies. He recently co-authored an article in Foreign Affairs titled Beijing's Dangerous Game in Tibet”.Timestamps[00:00] Start [02:08] Beijing's Key Interests in Tibet [04:06] Xi Jinping's Approach to Tibet [07:00] Internal and External Drivers of Tibet Policy [08:08] Xi's Recent Visit to Tibet [11:34] Infrastructure Developments and Expansionism  [15:27] Beijing's Succession Plans and Tibetan Reactions to a Future Dalai Lama [20:27] Risk of Unrest and Crackdowns [25:43] Implications for Neighboring States

AFRICA: CHINA'S SOFT POWER MOVES IN AS THE US MOVES OUT - CALEB WEISS, BILL ROGGIO, FDD 1919 CAPETOWN

The United States and China are locked in a race for dominance in artificial intelligence, including its applications and diffusion. American and Chinese AI firms like OpenAI and DeepSeek respectively have captured global attention and major companies like Google and Microsoft have been actively investing in AI development. While the US currently boasts world-leading AI models, China is ahead in some areas of AI research and application. With the release of US and Chinese AI action plans in July, we may be on the cusp of a new phase in US-China AI competition.Why is AI so important for a country's global influence? What are the strengths of China's AI strategy? And what does China's new AI action plan tell us about its AI ambitions? To discuss these questions, we are joined by Owen Daniels. Owen is the Associate Director of Analysis at Georgetown's Center for Security and Emerging Technology and a Non-Resident Fellow at the Atlantic Council. His recently published article in Foreign Affairs co-authored with Hanna Dohmen -- titled China's Overlooked AI Strategy -- provides insights into how Beijing is utilizing AI to gain global dominance and what the US can and should do to sustain and bolster its lead.Timestamps[00:00] Start [02:05] US Policy Risks to Chinese AI Leadership [05:28] Deepseek and Kimi's Newest Models  [07:54] US vs. China's Approach to AI [10:42] Limitations to China's AI Strategy  [13:08] Using AI as a Soft Power Tool  [16:10] AI Action Plans  [19:34] Trump's Approach to AI Competition [22:30] Can China Lead Global AI Governance?  [25:10] Evolving US Policy for Open Models
