Fraudsters are increasingly using deepfake videos of CEOs and other company executives to trick firms out of millions of dollars. And with the evolution of AI, these videos are becoming ever-more sophisticated and convincing. We speak to two CEOs who have been deepfaked: the head of the Bombay stock exchange and the boss of password security company LastPass. And we hear how criminals used deepfake videos to trick British engineering firm Arup into handing over $25 million. How easy is it to make these videos? Ed Butler visits a cybersecurity company which shows him how it can be done, using readily available software. Ed's hosts make a deepfake of him and we compare the real Ed to the fake Ed. We also put figures on the size of this problem and explain how much it's costing businesses.If you'd like to get in touch with the team, our email address is businessdaily@bbc.co.ukPresenter: Ed Butler Producer: Gideon Long Sound Mix: Toby JamesBusiness Daily is the home of in-depth audio journalism devoted to the world of money and work.

Your Brain's Biggest Lie: "This Doesn't Count" (aka: Cost Blindness + how "just this once" becomes your life) Join DEFENSE Foundations before our March 1st kick off!  In this episode, we're talking about why the moments that derail you don't feel like they matter… even when they're quietly shaping everything. DEFENSE is practice for the seconds you talk yourself into exceptions. And one of the biggest reasons exceptions win is simple: your brain hides the cost. What you'll hear in this episode Cost blindness: why "just this once" feels harmless in the moment (even when it isn't) Tight shot vs wide shot: how your brain zooms in on today and hides the pattern Death by a thousand paper cuts: why the small exceptions do the most damage The Starbucks analogy (upgraded): it's not the $10—it's the pattern (and the interest) Stories aren't neutral: every "reason" moves the plot of your life Decide = cut off: choosing one story cuts off other storylines Why some rebuttals don't hold: if you ignore the cost, the spell stays intact The question that breaks the moment: "What does this actually cost me—today and over time?" If you're ready for the next step… DEFENSE Foundations starts March 1. It's built to help you practice the part nobody practices: the moment before you quit—the moment your brain makes the exception feel logical and consequence-free. ➡️ Join DEFENSE Foundations here: — STARTS MARCH 1 Want help deciding if it's right for you?

Welcome back to another completely normal episode of your favorite daily comedy show — where we try to cover the news and instead end up arguing about how grown adults wipe.It's Friday, February 20th, and we kick things off with breaking news out of Overland… or at least what King Scott thinks is breaking news. Police standoff? Barracuda? Barricade? Nobody knows. But what we DO know is that Overland crimes are apparently “nice crimes.” So that's comforting.From there, things spiral — as they always do — into a full-blown Costco obsession. Beard nets. Free samples. Elite memberships. Business Costcos (??). Is it a warehouse store or a secret society? Why are people lining up 45 minutes for half a grape in a Dixie cup? And most importantly: why are people fighting with shopping carts like it's Thunderdome?Then we enter what may be the most detailed bidet conversation ever recorded on radio. Rafe is remodeling his bathroom and suddenly finds himself staring down a futuristic Japanese toilet that looks like it was designed by NASA. Heated seats. Oscillating spray. Adjustable nozzle trajectory. Butt dryer. Predator-style control panel. The gang debates the ethics of plug-in toilets, self-cleaning mechanisms, and whether standing up to wipe makes you a psychopath. It's educational. It's unsettling. It's everything a daily comedy show should be.And just when you think it can't get grosser — hotel coffee machines enter the chat. A travel influencer suggests washing underwear in the in-room coffee maker. Yes. Brewing. Underwear. We unpack the horror of “panty coffee,” why you should never use hotel coffee makers again, and whether Big Bean (aka Starbucks) is secretly behind the propaganda.But wait — there's more chaos:• A woman abandons her Goldendoodle at the airport because she didn't fill out paperwork.• A pediatric dentist allegedly shows up hammered.• A school custodian hides in a locker room closet.• A former police chief sets houses on fire as revenge.• Thieves are feeding stolen iPhones into EcoATMs for $20.It's a rollercoaster of weird news, questionable humanity, and sarcastic humor — exactly what you expect from this daily comedy show coming straight out of St. Louis.Bathroom tech. Costco conspiracies. Rage bait influencers. Swamp justice hypotheticals. And one extremely adorable abandoned dog named JetBlue.Just another totally average day with Rizz and the gang.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We meet Melanie Perkins, the CEO and co-founder of graphic design platform Canva, which has hundreds of millions of users and a valuation of nearly $40 billion. Despite her immense wealth, Melanie Perkins says the label “billionaire” has never felt quite right. Instead, she plans to give away most of her fortune during her lifetime. She also tells us why she believes young people should be educated differently to adapt to the growth of AI.If you'd like to get in touch with the team, our email address is businessdaily@bbc.co.ukPresenter: Zoe Kleinman Producer: Philippa Wain Sound mix: Toby JamesBusiness Daily is the home of in-depth audio journalism devoted to the world of money and work.

AgendaMark Zuckerberg faces jury in landmark trial over alleged youth harm linked to social mediaThe lawsuit, K.G.M. v. Meta Platforms, Inc., et al., was filed by a 20-year-old California woman identified by her initials. She alleges that Meta and other tech companies deliberately engineered their platforms to hook young users, contributing to her depression and suicidal thoughts, and seeks to hold them accountable.Regarding Instagram's enforcement efforts, plaintiffs asked whether Meta removed all 4 million under-13 users the company had identified on the platform in 2018. Zuckerberg responded that while the company did not remove all of them, it had implemented tools to detect and address underage accounts and was working to improve those systems.According to reports, Zuckerberg has not directly answered the central question of the case: whether Instagram is addictive. The plaintiff's attorney, Mark Lanier, asked if people tend to use something more if it's addictive. “I'm not sure what to say to that,” Zuckerberg said. “I don't think that applies here.”He said he believes in the “basic assumption” that “if something is valuable, people will use it more because it's useful to them.”When he was asked about his compensation, Zuckerberg said he has pledged to give “almost all” of his money to charity, focusing on scientific research. Lanier asked him how much money he has pledged to victims impacted by social media, to which Zuckerberg replied, “I disagree with the characterization of your question.”Zuckerberg's courthouse entourage showed up in Meta Ray-BansMeta Adding Facial Recognition to Its Smart Glasses That Identifies People in Real Time, Hoping the Public Is Too Distracted by Political Turmoil to Care MMApple sued by West Virginia for alleged failure to stop child sexual abuse material on iCloud, iOS devicesSpaceX said to weigh dual-class IPO shares to empower MuskMacron Blasts Social Media's Free Speech Defense as ‘Bullshit'The stupid (ESG edition)Goldman Sachs to Drop D.E.I. Criteria for Board Members MMThe move would be the Wall Street firm's latest retreat from diversity mandates that its chief executive, David Solomon, had once made a priority.The decision is a result of a deal that Goldman struck with the National Legal and Policy Center, a conservative nonprofit group that has been pressuring numerous companies to drop diversity, equity and inclusion mandates, the people said.As part of its agreement with Goldman, the National Legal and Policy Center, which has a small investment in the bank, withdrew a shareholder proposal demanding that diversity criteria for the board be dropped.In March 2019, Mr. Solomon, his top deputy John Waldron and the firm's chief financial officer at the time, Stephen M. Scherr, declared diversity and inclusion “a top priority.”“When we unite around a common goal, we make progress together,” the men wrote in an email to the staff. They said they would “improve each year” toward goals that included a new recruiting class comprising “50 percent women, 11 percent Black professionals and 14 percent Hispanic/Latino professionals in the Americas, and 9 percent Black professionals in the U.K.”The next year, Mr. Solomon said Goldman would no longer take a company public in the United States or Europe unless it had at least one “diverse” board member. By 2021, a company would need at least two diverse board members in order for Goldman to agree to work on its initial public offering.Inspire Investing CEO: Nike's DEI Is A Legal Liability, Shareholders Coming For AnswersNike's DEI fight is no longer just a social media "culture war" argument. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is investigating Nike over allegations the company's DEI practices discriminated against white employees and job applicants.Robert Netzly, CEO of Inspire Investing: "Discrimination, whether it's black people or white people, gay people or straight people, is discrimination."Robert Netzly is a globally recognized authority in the Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI) movement, author of the book "Biblically Responsible Investing: On Wall Street As It Is In Heaven." Robert holds a B.S. degree in Liberal Studies from an online university.

Coca-Cola Northeast privately invited female employees and then excused the female employees who attended the event from their normal work duties on Sept. 10 and 11, 2024, and paid them their normal salary or wages without requiring them to use vacation or other paid time off.

It's become the legal bedrock of federal efforts to rein in emissions, especially in vehicles.Bill Maher Eviscerates Donald Trump Over ‘Biggest Dick Move in American History'The boring (ESG edition)Starbucks' investor group urges shareholders to replace directors over labor rowStarbucks faced fresh pressure on Wednesday from a coalition of investors including public-sector pension funds that urged shareholders ‌to vote against the reelection of two directors, citing persistent failure ‌to manage labor relations.The move against Starbucks' lead independent director, Jorgen Vig Knudstorp, and Beth ​Ford, chair of the board's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, comes as the company is locked in a prolonged effort to reach a collective agreement with its unionized baristas.Companies are cycling through CEOs—and replacing them with first-timers MMSome 168 new CEOs were appointed in 2025, the highest total since 2010. The defining shift was who got the job. Among incoming CEOs, 84% were serving in their first enterprise CEO role, reversing a multi-year tilt toward leaders with prior public-company experience.As recently as 2024, more than one in five new CEOs had already led a public company. That share fell sharply in 2025. Of the 140 first-time CEOs appointed, 116 had no prior enterprise CEO experience. Two-thirds had never served on a public company board, meaning many are stepping into the role without prior exposure to shareholder oversight or public company governance.CEO hopefuls have a new rival for the top job: their own board directorsAppointing board directors as CEOs was once a “break glass in case of emergency” strategy reserved for scandal, illness, or sudden resignation. While it remains a minority path compared with traditional internal promotions, it is no longer an anomaly.New data from Spencer Stuart highlights the shift. Of the 168 new S&P 1500 chief executives appointed in 2025, the highest annual total since 2010, 19 were drawn from their own company boards, the most since 2020. Spencer Stuart classifies directors as outsiders because they lack day-to-day operating responsibility. Even so, more boards are turning to them.Wall Street banks are paying their CEOs like it's 2006 againMorgan Stanley CEO Ted Pick's pay rises 32% to $45mlnBank of America Lifts Moynihan's Pay 17% to $41 Million for 2025Barclays Ceo Pay Hike: Barclays lifts CEO Venkatakrishnan's pay to over £15 million as bonus pool risesCitigroup bumps CEO Jane Fraser's pay to record $59mBro Culture (The Epstein Edition)Thomas Pritzker, Named in Epstein Files, Retires as Hyatt Executive ChairmanTom Pritzker Retires as Executive Chairman of Hyatt After 22 Years of Service and Will Not Stand for Reelection to Board of DirectorsThe Board has appointed Mark S. Hoplamazian, Hyatt's President and Chief Executive Officer, to succeed Mr. Pritzker as Chairman of the Board“Tom's leadership has been instrumental in shaping Hyatt's strategy and long-term growth, and we thank him for his service and dedication to Hyatt,” said Richard Tuttle, Chair of the Board's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. “The Board has engaged in thoughtful succession planning, and we are confident that Mark's deep knowledge of Hyatt's business, strong relationships with owners and colleagues, and proven track record as CEO of nearly two decades positions him well to serve as Chairman and continue driving Hyatt's long-term success.”In a letter to the Hyatt Hotels' Board of Directors, Tom Pritzker wrote, “My job and responsibility is to provide good stewardship. That is important to me. Good stewardship includes ensuring a proper transition at Hyatt. Following discussions with my fellow Board members, I have decided, after serving as Executive Chairman since 2004, and with the company in a strong position, that now is the right time for me to retire from Hyatt. Good stewardship also means protecting Hyatt, particularly in the context of my association with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, which I deeply regret. I exercised terrible judgment in maintaining contact with them, and there is no excuse for failing to distance myself sooner. I condemn the actions and the harm caused by Epstein and Maxwell, and I feel deep sorrow for the pain they inflicted on their victims.”Dubai's DP World replaces CEO after Epstein links emergeDubai's DP World announced Essa Kazim was the new chairman of its board of directors and Yuvraj Narayan was its new group chief executive officer, replacing Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem.Sulayem had been the CEO of Dubai's largest port operator since 2016 and chairman since 2007.DOJ records showed years of exchanges with Epstein, but Sulayem has not been accused of any criminal wrongdoing.Casey Wasserman to sell talent agency following Jefferey Epstein controversyCasey Wasserman has confirmed that he has started the process of selling his talent agency after it was uncovered that he had ties with Jefferey Epstein. The announcement comes as artists began to leave the agency after it was uncovered that the Wasserman CEO had extensive ties with Jeffrey Epstein and had sent flirtatious emails to Ghislaine Maxwell. Despite denying that he had any personal or business ties with either, Wasserman sent an apology to the 4,000 employees who work at his sports marketing and talent agency, confirming that he would be stepping down from the company. He said: “I'm deeply sorry that my past personal mistakes have caused you so much discomfort […] It's not fair to you, and it's not fair to the clients and partners we represent so vigorously and care so deeply about.”Former Victoria's Secret CEO Les Wexner testifies in House Epstein investigationThe billionaire behind the retail empire that once blanketed shopping malls with names such as Victoria's Secret and Abercrombie & Fitch told members of Congress on Wednesday that he was “duped by a world-class con man” — close financial adviser Jeffrey Epstein. Les Wexner also denied knowing about the late sex offender's crimes or participating in Epstein's abuse of girls and young women.“I was naive, foolish, and gullible to put any trust in Jeffrey Epstein. He was a con man. And while I was conned, I have done nothing wrong and have nothing to hide.”Wexner described himself to the lawmakers as a philanthropist, community builder and grandfather who always strove “to live my life in an ethical manner in line with my moral compass,” according to the statement.Top Goldman Sachs lawyer Kathy Ruemmler to resign over Epstein linksThe latest Justice Department release revealed a trove of communication between the two, including about potential jobs, her romantic life and gifts Epstein had given her.

Once they were standing, he made a "joke" to the effect of: "Thank you! Just so the ICE agents [in the building] know [who you are]."He reportedly made a follow-up "callback" later in the presentation, suggesting that ICE agents were also monitoring those who hadn't yet used a specific new Slackbot tool.And another joke about ICE surveilling employee travel: when there are literally employees afraid to travel for work due to current situationSalesforce famously promotes a culture of "Ohana" (family) and equality.Parker Harris (Cofounder): In a follow-up meeting, Harris reportedly called the jokes a "violation of the Code of Conduct" and even noted they could be considered a "fireable offense" for a typical employee.Rob Seaman (Slack GM): The head of the Salesforce-owned platform Slack sent a memo to staff stating he "cannot defend or explain" the jokes and that they did not align with his values.Salesforce employees call on CEO Benioff to cancel ICE ‘opportunities'Elon Musk says Anthropic's philosopher has no stake in the future because she doesn't have kidsPalantir, Which Is Powering ICE, Says Immigration Crackdown May Hurt Hiring MMFrom 10-K filed 2 days ago: “if we are not able to recruit, hire, or retain the talent we need because of increased regulation of immigration or work visas … it could be more difficult to staff our personnel on customer engagements and could increase our costs … Additionally, laws and regulations, such as restrictive immigration laws, may limit our ability to recruit outside of the United States ...

In just a few months, the country has signed or advanced several major trade deals with other nations. Is it a reflection of the growing size of the Indian economy - it is on course to become the third largest in the world - or it is because of a global economic realignment due to US President Donald Trump's tariff policies? And is India ready to open its markets to foreign competition, or is there a danger that it will lead to job losses in some sectors?

This episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different reunites us with the renowned business thinker Joe Pine, whose work on the experience economy transformed how organizations define value. We join Christopher and Joe in tracing the progression from products and services to experiences, and now to transformations, where companies move beyond creating memorable moments to helping people achieve meaningful change. Through examples, definitions, and personal stories, they clarify what distinguishes an experience, why it has become central to modern economies, and how the emerging transformation economy repositions businesses as guides in their customers' journeys toward their aspirations. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go. Joe Pine on the Experience Economy and Changing Consumer Priorities Lochhead reflects on how Pine's book The Experience Economy revealed experiences as a distinct economic offering, separate from commodities, goods, and services. Pine defines experiences as events in which companies use goods as props and services as the stage to personally engage people and create lasting memories. They note how brands such as Starbucks intuitively staged experiences long before the concept had formal language. Today, cultural trends and research show that consumers, especially younger generations, increasingly value experiences over material possessions. Rather than accumulating things, people seek moments that feel meaningful, enjoyable, and worth remembering and sharing. Joe Pine on how Experiences Function in B2B Contexts Pine and Lochhead argue that experiences are just as critical in B2B environments as they are in consumer markets. Pine explains that the experience itself has become the most powerful form of marketing, because it earns attention, builds trust, and generates demand. They describe executive briefing centers, innovation hubs, and destination events where clients are welcomed into carefully designed environments that educate and inspire. Lochhead recalls building a Customer Welcome Center at Mercury Interactive and orchestrating every detail, from airport pickup to on-site interactions, as one cohesive journey. This stands in sharp contrast to traditional advertising, which is often fleeting and easily forgotten. From Experiences to Transformations The discussion culminates in Pine's concept of the transformation economy, introduced in his book The Transformation Economy. Transformations represent the next stage, where customers are no longer asking for moments to enjoy but for help becoming who they want to be. While experiences focus on time well spent, transformations emphasize time well invested. Joe Pine introduces the idea of encapsulation, which includes preparation before an experience, reflection afterward, and integration over time to sustain real change. Together, he and Lochhead connect this to their own work, designing not just books, but ecosystems of courses, communities, tools, and future technologies intended to guide lasting personal and professional growth. To hear more from Joe Pine about the Transformation Economy, download and listen to this episode. Bio Joe Pine is a renowned author, speaker, and management advisor best known as the co-author of The Experience Economy, a groundbreaking book that reshaped how businesses create value. His work introduced the concept that companies must orchestrate memorable experiences to remain competitive in an evolving marketplace. With deep expertise in innovation and customer experience design, Joe helps organizations around the world architect differentiated experiences that drive growth and loyalty. He has worked with leading global brands across industries from retail and hospitality to healthcare and technology.

We're in France, where traditional eateries, bistros, and brasseries, once a huge part of the economy, as well as the culture of the country, are disappearing fast. A few years ago, if you drove through France, you'd come across dozens of little restaurants. Now, in many small towns, you'll only find a boulangerie and a takeaway. Restaurants serving traditional French food like steak and chips or coq au vin are closing at a rate of about 25 a day. The main problem: they've become too expensive.If you'd like to get in touch with the team, our email address is businessdaily@bbc.co.ukPresented and produced by John Laurenson Sound mix: Toby JamesBusiness Daily is the home of in-depth audio journalism devoted to the world of money and work.

We're in Toronto in Canada, North America's second-biggest financial centre after New York, where so-called ethical investing has become big business, with many investors choosing funds they believe are better for people and the planet. But amid growing concerns about misleading environmental claims, it can be hard to know what's genuinely ethical and what's just clever marketing. We explore how politics is reshaping corporate commitments and hear from campaigners and regulators working to crack down on financial greenwashing.If you'd like to get in touch with the team, our email address is businessdaily@bbc.co.ukPresenter: Megan Lawton Producer: Sam GruetBusiness Daily is the home of in-depth audio journalism devoted to the world of money and work.

In this conversation, Tarun Agarwal draws parallels between Starbucks' business strategies and the challenges faced by dental practices. He emphasizes the importance of expanding service offerings to break through revenue ceilings and enhance patient care. By introducing new procedures, such as dental implants, practitioners can leverage existing resources and improve their practice's profitability. The discussion highlights the need for dentists to embrace growth and adapt to changing patient needs to avoid stagnation. Takeaways Starbucks' near failure teaches valuable lessons for dental practices.Many dentists feel stuck despite working harder and adding team members.Efficiency improvements alone do not lead to significant growth.Diversifying services is crucial for breaking revenue ceilings.Patients may leave for specialists offering broader menus.Testing new procedures can lead to substantial revenue increases.Committing to new categories can transform a practice's success.Overhead costs remain constant, making high-value procedures more profitable.Practices can plateau and fade if they don't adapt and grow.Growth in dentistry can be exponential with the right strategies.

Our episode begins with some silliness, but we do get to labor headlines. We've got stories from Ubisoft, Taco Bell, Kaiser Permanente, Ford, Starbucks, and big protests in Argentina and India. The nurses strike in New York *almost* came to an end this week, but nurses at NY Presbyterian are staying out. San Francisco teachers won their first strike since 1979, we break down how last week went. Meatpacking workers with JBS are on the front lines of the joint struggle for immigrant workers specifically and the working class broadly and are ready to strike despite threats of deportation. Finally, we discuss how the class struggle in Minnesota has forced the government to back down, and why more action is needed to win the struggle against ICE terror.

In honor of National Caregivers Day on Friday the 20th, CJ welcomes author, speaker, and leadership consultant Glenna Hecht for a deeply human conversation about caregiving, presence, and active listening. After a distinguished career in Human Resources with organizations like Starbucks and Walt Disney World, Glenna faced a challenge she could not fix—her mother's dementia. What began as frustration and attempts to control the uncontrollable became a profound shift: if she could not cure it, she could meet it with curiosity, compassion, and play.Out of that surrender came a simple but powerful question: “How old are you today?” That question opened doors to memory, imagination, and connection, ultimately becoming the heart of her memoir, How Old Are You Today? In this episode, Glenna shares why caregivers are everyday heroes, why they deserve more grace, and how listening—not correcting—can transform the relationship. If they believe it, don't bust the myth. Be willing to enter their world.If you are navigating dementia or Alzheimer's with someone you love, this conversation offers a way forward—not by resisting what is, but by going with it. You can learn how to play Glenna's game and create more meaningful moments with your loved one by purchasing her book on Amazon or wherever books are sold.Want to learn more about CJ Miller?

Send a textA warm floor, a borrowed basement, and a hardwired cable set the scene for a conversation that mixes honesty with humor. We open by acknowledging a tough week for the family, then steer into what so many professionals are feeling: a job market where interviews stack up, portals show hundreds of applicants, and patience becomes a skill. From there, the conversation swerves—smoothly—into the strange poetry of Starbucks sizes and what clever naming says about branding, identity, and the rituals we buy.That detour unlocks the story of how our cycling miles evolved into investing miles. We revisit dollar-cost averaging, dividend plays, and the surprising value of owning a sliver of the places you frequent. There are hard lessons, too: why Topgolf's rapid buildout strained the model, what Callaway's partial divestment signals about refocusing on core strength, and how a humble convenience chain—Casey's—quietly delivered outsized growth. Pensacola, Florida, takes a bow in our Listener Spotlight with its layered history and flight training roots, because curiosity still fuels this community.We balance the heavy with light: a burst of dad jokes, a proud homecoming moment, and the nerves of first drives that remind us how practice builds confidence.

A dive bar in Philly just raised its age limit to 25 after college kids rolled in with fake IDs so advanced they passed scanners… including one absolute legend who used Benjamin Franklin as his photo and listed his address as the Liberty Bell. This is why we can't have nice things. On today's funny show, the Rizz and the gang relive their own fake ID disasters (yes, Sri Lankan licenses were involved), and debate whether that kid is a criminal mastermind or the future mayor of Philadelphia.Then we shift into full-blown pop culture chaos: Miley Cyrus is already an early favorite for the next Super Bowl halftime show in LA, but would Jelly Roll, Taylor Swift, or Post Malone completely break the internet? We argue. Loudly. As usual.And because this daily comedy chaos refuses to stay in one lane, we also break down:A new “forensic report” trying to reopen the Kurt Cobain case (TikTok detectives… please sit down)Gene Simmons vs. hip-hop in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (again

What do you do when you want to drink again—not because you're “back at zero,” but because midlife (and menopause) is hitting hard? I'm talking with Dana Bowman, author of Humble Pie, about the messy truth of long-term recovery colliding with midlife—think perimenopause, parenting teens, sleep disruption, body changes, and the quiet pressure to keep performing like nothing's happening. Dana and I have both lived the “I quit… then went back… then quit again” reality, and we're naming what so many women experience but rarely say out loud: Life gets better without alcohol—and life still gets lifey.

Six weeks after the capture of President Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela appears to be shifting its economic strategy. The government is reopening its crucial oil industry to foreign investment and redirecting oil exports back toward the United States.Presenter Rahul Tandon is joined by producer Gideon Long, who spent five years reporting from Venezuela, to examine the changes introduced since Maduro's capture and explore what further steps may be required to persuade international companies to return and invest.

Dennis is joined via Zoom by playwright Robert Axelrod to discuss his new play Lifeline, which is a dramedy about a group of new volunteers at a suicide hotline. It was inspired by Robert's own experience as a volunteer for The Trevor Project hotline. Robert talks about what it was like to volunteer there, the extensive training volunteers go through and he recalls some of his more memorable conversations. He also talks about the importance of collaboration and why he loves to be the dumbest person in the room. Other topics include: the moment he got bitten by the playwriting bug, the ancestral magic of theater, how he approaches writing characters that aren't like him, like a neurodivergent Gen Z-er and a trans woman of color and why showing up at work toting a latte from Starbucks and a scone might rub some co-workers the wrong way.

Britney Spears just secured a reported $200 million for her music catalog and somehow we're still arguing about who has the better investment strategy — her or Justin Bieber. In this episode of The Rizzuto Show, we break down pop star bank accounts like we're certified financial advisors (we are not), debate whose catalog is actually worth more, and pitch the revolutionary idea of putting $200 million into a CD and just vibing off the interest forever.Then we hit you with a study that claims your average commute is worth over $8,000 a year. That's right — the time you spend sitting in traffic listening to this comedy podcast technically has a dollar amount. So congratulations, your daily entertainment comes with emotional support and questionable financial implications. We do the math, question our life choices, and decide that at least you're spending those 222 hours a year with a funny podcast that doesn't charge admission.But the crown jewel of today's chaos? A fresh round of Gay Bar or Steakhouse — the most deceptively impossible game in morning talk show history. Establishments like “The Blazing Saddle,” “Wolf Lodge,” and “Silverado” have us second-guessing geography, masculinity, and common sense. Lifelines are used. Friendships are tested. Logic is abandoned. Somehow we end with a winner, but not before Moon spirals about Portland and we collectively admit this is the hardest 50/50 shot in radio.We also dive into some serious local news out of St. Louis, including a disturbing Starbucks drive-thru shooting and a substitute teacher situation in St. Charles that proves reality continues to outdo satire. Because nothing balances celebrity news and daily humor quite like real-world chaos.If you're here for pop culture commentary, entertainment gossip, weird news stories, sarcastic humor, and a daily comedy show that doesn't take itself too seriously — welcome home. This comedy podcast is your daily reminder that the world is ridiculous and at least we can laugh at it together.New episodes drop every weekday because apparently we enjoy the chaos.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast! In this episode, Jeff Dolan, an international executive at Starbucks, shares his journey from a busy executive to a high-performing triathlete. Initially, he struggled with balancing his demanding role with his passion for triathlon. After joining Purple Patch Fitness, he learned to focus on quality training over quantity, integrating nutrition, sleep, and recovery. This approach led to significant improvements in his performance, including PRs in 70.3 and IRONMAN races. Dolan emphasizes the importance of adaptability, energy management, and the value of small, consistent improvements. His story highlights the benefits of integrating sport into life to enhance overall well-being and performance.

Spring training opens with good news for the New York Yankees. Everyone is healthy, no surprise injuries, and Aaron Boone confirms the roster is ready to go. So why is there outrage on Day One? The debate explodes when Brian Cashman arrives in a hoodie, trucker hat, and backpack. What starts as jokes about his Starbucks order turns into a full-blown argument about professionalism, comfort, and whether the Yankees' longtime GM has grown too comfortable in his role. Is criticizing Cashman's outfit fair, or does it distract from real issues like roster construction and accountability? Fans call in, tempers flare, and the show wrestles with what Yankees standards are supposed to look like in 2026.

Sri Lanka: a country long loved and marketed as a tropical paradise is reeling after Cyclone Ditwah, which hit the island nation last November. The storm left a third of the island in ruins.
