Podcasts about Swiss

This week on The Business of Watches, we go behind the scenes with the man who compiles and crunches the numbers for the Morgan Stanley Swiss Watcher report, the most influential and widely read annual financial league table on the industry. Oliver Müller has been around the sector for some three decades, beginning his career at Omega before executive roles at a series of brands, including Laurent Ferrier, where he served as Chief Executive Officer. He's now a consultant to the industry and has helped shape brand strategy and positioning for the likes of Akrivia and Rexhep Rexhepi, among others.  Müller's most high-profile gig these days is compiling the estimates of Swiss brand revenue and volumes for the Morgan Stanley report. It's the top league table for the sector, and he tells us how he calculates and decides on the estimates that get published. Not everyone is a fan. Swatch Group has long criticized the report, now in its 9th edition, and Müller tells us why he believes Swatch and its leadership don't always appreciate the numbers. But first, Hodinkee founder Ben Clymer drops in for his Business of Watches debut. Ben tells us about his recent trip to Geneva and what he's hearing from some of the big brand executives. He also gives us his take on some of the data deep inside the Morgan Stanley report.  Show Notes  1:30 Ben Clymer (Hodinkee)  2:11 Watches of Switzerland Group 4:10 Gold price 4:42 USDxCHF 6:40 Audemars Piguet CEO Ilaria Resta Drives Double-Digit Sales Increase For Brand's 150th Anniversary Year 10:20 Cartier Santos de Cartier in Titanium (And Steel) — The Watches You Want From Cartier, Whether You Know It Or Not (Hodinkee) 12:55 Cartier's NSO – Or "New Special Order" –  Watch Program Is Over, At Least As We Know It (Hodinkee) 15:00 LuxeConsult (Oliver Müller) 15:15 Morgan Stanley 18:15 Richard Mille 18:34 Bucherer 24:13 When Banks Try To Unlock The Watchmaking Secret (Le Temps) (In French) 32:47 F.P.

Sarah Ferguson reportedly spent January at a $13,000-a-night Swiss wellness retreat as Epstein headlines resurfaced — a stay that could total nearly $400,000.An insider said: “Sarah went just after Christmas and stayed until the end of January… she'll get love and attention there.” Critics immediately questioned who paid.Express columnist Chris Riches asked: “… frankly how did she afford it?” before suggesting, “perhaps someone should simply hide her bank cards.”The scrutiny comes as fresh Andrew claims resurface. A masseuse told the Daily Mail: “He disappeared to the bathroom and came back in the nude. I averted my eyes and I was quite embarrassed,” later adding he was “very nice and very gentlemanly.”An ex-protection officer also resurfaced, saying Andrew was “the most unpopular member of the royal family” and that “his sense of self-entitlement was breathtaking.”The damage control continues — but the headlines aren't slowing down.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.

A husband went viral after complaining on social media that his wife sent him to get Swiss cheese and he was overwhelmed by the options (baby Swiss, thin Swiss, aged Swiss, low fat Swiss), claiming men need their "hand held" to pick out cheese—and women absolutely slammed him for weaponised incompetence. We asked Sydney about their hopeless husbands who intentionally underperform tasks to avoid taking responsibility.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Update: As of February 21, 2026, the Trump administration now says they will set the new "Global Tariff" rate at 15% (not 10%), maintaining the same effective rate on Switzerland, at least for 150 days. On this episode, we unpack breaking news that sent shockwaves through the watch world: the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Trump-era emergency tariffs, instantly voiding the recent 15% levy on Swiss watches. We explain what this actually means for collectors and retailers, why refunds remain a massive open question, and why—despite the ruling—don't expect watch prices to suddenly drop. Between looming replacement tariffs, a weakening dollar, and ongoing currency pressure against the Swiss franc, volatility is far from over. We then dive into COSC's newly announced “Excellence" chronometer standard and ask the uncomfortable question: is this meaningful progress, or a defensive half-measure against METAS? We break down how the new accuracy benchmarks compare, why third-party certification still matters culturally, and how ever-stricter chronometer claims may be setting unrealistic expectations for mechanical watches that have to survive real life on the wrist. Finally, we look at Audemars Piguet's remarkable 2025 performance—up 10% in a brutal market—and what's driving it: massive price increases, a shift toward high complications, boutique-only distribution, and a growing focus on lifetime customer value. We also explore AP's evolving brand strategy under new leadership, the push toward experiential retail, and why the very clients AP wants most may have the least patience for its increasingly gated buying process. It's a wide-ranging conversation about tariffs, accuracy, and how modern luxury watch brands are reshaping their futures. Openwork is a weekly podcast about how the watch industry actually works. An unfiltered look behind the scenes — no press releases, no hype, and no sponsored takes. Hosted by Asher Rapkin and Gabe Reilly, co-founders of Collective Horology.

Sydney at 6 covered The Age claiming Melbourne dresses better than Sydney (comparing us to LA glam while they're New York vibes), Glebe being Sydney's most radioactive suburb due to uranium and thorium in the sandstone (but it's totally safe), and the government spending $90 billion on high-speed rail between Sydney and Newcastle. Gen Z is boring and costing the alcohol industry $830 billion, a husband went viral for weaponised incompetence after complaining about too many Swiss cheese options at the shops, and we hit Glossys: Russell Crowe's secret TikTok obsession with luxury watches, Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes getting sued over their steakhouse name, Tim Gunn revealing why he's been celibate for 43 years after his partner cheated, Keith Urban splitting with his management team a month after divorcing Nicole, and Nicki Minaj receiving a Trump-signed Bible calling it "one of the most meaningful gifts ever." Sarah Harris pranked Ricki by announcing Australian Idol got axed and her reaction was priceless.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of Superlative, aBlogtoWatch founder Ariel Adams sits down with watch collector and author Mitch Katz to explore how a lifelong passion for horology turned into a surprising second career as a novelist. Mitch shares the journey from documenting his personal collection to writing Time Eternal, a murder mystery rooted in real watch history, including the fascinating story of an experimental self winding movement that inspired the plot. They discuss Mitch's creative process, building believable characters, and weaving watch knowledge into fiction in a way that remains accessible even to readers who know nothing about timepieces.The conversation also dives deep into watch collecting itself, from why stories matter more than price tags to how community shapes curiosity, learning, and personal taste. Mitch explains his philosophy of buying what brings you joy, resisting status driven choices, and embracing the long learning curve of the hobby. Along the way, Ariel and Mitch unpack the realities of the Swiss watch industry, collector culture, and why asking better questions matters more than chasing trends.Follow Mitch and Check Out His New Book “Time Eternal”:- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/uniquelyprototype/ - Time Eternal - https://a.co/d/02nf9tpz SUPERLATIVE IS NOW ON YOUTUBE!

But what is it about this number that feels so… intentional? In this special anniversary episode of 222 Paranormal Podcast, we dive deep into the mystery, symbolism, synchronicity, and spiritual interpretations of the number 222. Is it just coincidence? Or is it a message? We begin by exploring the meaning of 222 in numerology, where repeating numbers are often called "angel numbers." In numerological interpretation, 2 represents balance, harmony, duality, and partnership. When tripled, 222 amplifies those energies — suggesting alignment, divine timing, and reassurance that you're on the right path. Many people report seeing 222 during pivotal life moments — on clocks, receipts, license plates, or phone numbers. Is this psychological pattern recognition, or something more? We also look at religious and spiritual symbolism. In the Bible, the number 2 often represents union or witness. Some scholars connect the repetition of numbers with divine confirmation or covenant themes. While 222 isn't explicitly referenced as a single number in scripture, the pattern of repetition itself has long been associated with spiritual emphasis and sacred rhythm. We touch on synchronicity — a concept popularized by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung — who believed meaningful coincidences were not random, but connected to deeper layers of the unconscious or collective consciousness. Could seeing 222 be a personal synchronicity? A nudge from the universe? A moment of alignment between inner thought and outer reality? The episode also explores psychological explanations. Humans are pattern-seeking creatures. Once a number becomes meaningful, the brain's reticular activating system begins to notice it more frequently. But here's the question: does awareness create the experience, or does the experience create awareness? We share listener stories of recurring 222 sightings before major life shifts — career changes, spiritual awakenings, even paranormal encounters. Some describe feeling calm and reassured when they see it. Others feel it's a call to pay attention. In true 222 Paranormal fashion, we don't just present answers — we explore possibilities: Is 222 a symbol of balance between the physical and spiritual worlds? Could it represent duality within ourselves — light and shadow? Is it a cosmic "thumbs up" when you're aligned with your purpose? Or is it simply the power of belief shaping perception? Whether you see 222 as an angel number, a manifestation signal, divine confirmation, or a psychological phenomenon, one thing is certain: meaning is powerful. And when meaning repeats, it demands attention. On February 22, we celebrate not just a number — but a symbol of connection. Between you and the unknown. Between coincidence and destiny. Between question and mystery. So the next time you glance at the clock and it reads 2:22… Is it random? Or is it calling you?   Welcome to the 222 Paranormal Podcast, your gateway to the captivating world of the supernatural.

I've been talking about a book I've been writing and I'm here to tell you all the juicy details and that you can preorder it now! In the end, I realized the world didn't need a book on how to organize your home because you have no resources to complete the tasks. Escaping Quicksand will arm you with the tools to get your home organized and move to productivity! Thought Process and Creation This is my sixth book. I don't tell you that to brag. I tell you that to share that I have published each book in different ways. Not sure if you have written a book but I always like to share my journey and thought process in case it's something you have been thinking about doing too.  I really struggled with feeling "set" on the book theme. I wrote two other versions of "the book" I thought I was going to publish. But one morning about 5am, it came to me. The first chapter was written in about an hour and it felt right. I finally nailed down what people needed. I wrote a book on shifting your mindset to accomplish your home organization goals!   I shared the first paragraph with my team and they unanimously agreed, yes this is the book people need.   I wrote it in two weeks. It was effortless and I felt passionate about what I was sharing.  And when do people need it? In June of course. I insisted on having it released on June 23rd. Why? Because that's when our year is "wrapping up." The end of June is when I have our team week. It's when school is wrapping up, we're resetting, and dreaming. And July is a great month to read a new book. This is a thinking book. Secret: When you preorder, chapters will be released early! What's It About  You will start reading the first three pre chapters.  I started by sharing my quicksand story. I realized when you have hit "rock bottom", it turns out that you just keep going, like no end to the pit. You just keep sinking until the quicksand swallows you! I want to help you before you get too deep in the quicksand. Inevitably, it seems as though we hit 40 and reevaluate life; that come to Jesus conversation we have with ourselves.  We've had enough and know there has to be a solution out there somewhere.  And what about us? When do we put ourselves on the to do list? So, the next chapter is about self care. How do we care for our whole person? Our education, spiritual care, health, and all the other aspects of a whole person. The third prechapter is the fact that our household is an economic powerhouse.  And then we get into the meat of the book explaining Swiss cheese organizing, being a woman of excellence, morning and afternoon routines, letting go of housework expectations, taking "center stage" when doing housework, weekly planning, and from to do lists to productivity! Get the Book and Join the Book Club Who loves a book club? There are already over 1,000 people who have preordered the book and have the opportunity to join the book club. You can preorder the book through the Organize 365® website or through your favorite book retailer. Then just upload your receipt and you too can join the book club. I am planning on releasing the chapters early each week for 13 weeks. I will release videos and will be posing questions out there for all of us to discuss about the chapters and how it applies to you as a household manager. This will allow you to change your mindset in real time. It's too easy to just keep reading and not take action. This slow release will give you a week to ruminate about what you read and what the community has said.  EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® Preorder your hard copy of Escaping Quicksand Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  Did you enjoy this episode?

In some communities, everyone regularly uses two languages or varieties according to the social situation, with one of them being more prestigious (and more likely to be written down) than the other. This particular kind of multilingualism is known as a diglossia. In this episode, your hosts Gretchen McCulloch and Lauren Gawne get enthusiastic about diglossia! We talk about why diglossia is the answer to so many questions Gretchen gets asked at parties, what "high" and "low" versions of a language have to do with mountains, where the four "classic" cases of diglossia come from (Arabic, Greek, Haitian, and Swiss), and how at least some of them might not be diglossias anymore. We also talk about whether there are new diglossias emerging (French? English???) and how to tell if you might be in a diglossia.

In this episode of the Creator Method Podcast, Gary Lipovetsky sits down with Nadia König Muniz, founder and creative director of LaNaia Jewels, to unpack how she built a 479,000-follower personal brand without chasing trends, hooks, or algorithm hacks. Known for her disciplined, taste-driven approach to fashion and content, Nadia shares how prioritizing quality over virality has helped her build long-term trust, scale a luxury brand, and grow a deeply engaged audience. Together, they break down why slow, intentional content often outperforms viral moments, how consistency compounds even when growth feels invisible, and why most creators lose momentum by chasing short-term wins. Nadia opens up about her Swiss upbringing, how it shaped her values around sustainability and discipline, and why she refuses to let trends pull her away from her vision, even when viral content tempts creators to pivot. They explore the realities of building a creator-led luxury brand, the difference between attention and trust, and why a single viral video rarely translates into meaningful growth. Gary challenges Nadia on monetization, personal brand leverage, and showing up more on camera, revealing how creators can scale without sacrificing integrity or identity. This conversation is a thoughtful, honest look at building a brand that lasts, not just one that spikes. If you are a creator or entrepreneur looking to grow with intention, resist burnout, and play the long game in the creator economy, this episode will fundamentally change how you think about growth, patience, and value.

Marina Stabile is a Brazilian-born, Swiss-raised producer and line producer with over 20 years of experience in film, documentaries, commercials, and digital content. She is also one of my favorite humans and I'm lucky I get to call her a friend. She grew up in São Paulo, moved to Geneva at 10, attended an international school with 118 nationalities, and knew she wanted to produce after watching the Irving Thalberg Award presented at 3 a.m. on an Oscar broadcast. She studied film and international relations at USC, produced documentaries for the United Nations in Geneva, and returned to the U.S. to earn her MFA in producing at AFI, where her thesis film The Response won a Student BAFTA. Marina's credits span indie and studio, including Miguel Arteta's Beatriz at Dinner starring Salma Hayek, the Sundance Grand Jury Prize–winning Clemency starring Alfre Woodard, Harrison Ford's The Call of the Wild (as VFX supervisor), Searchlight's Hold Your Breath starring Sarah Paulson, The People We Hate at the Wedding, and the pandemic-shot Untitled Horror Movie alongside fellow producer Bronwyn Cornelius. Most recently, she produced Josephine — written and directed by Beth de Araújo and starring Channing Tatum and Gemma Chan — which won both the U.S. Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival before being acquired by Sumerian Pictures in a competitive seven-figure deal. The film went on to screen in competition at the Berlin International Film Festival. In this conversation, we explore how culture impacts your craft, define once and for all what line producers really do, why the best career moves sometimes look like steps backward, and whether Los Angeles is still a special place to make movies.

Today's Headlines: New Mexico has approved a bipartisan “truth commission” to investigate alleged sexual abuse and trafficking at Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch near Santa Fe. The commission will have subpoena power, a $2 million budget funded by a Deutsche Bank settlement, and will operate through 2026. Meanwhile, Epstein's former benefactor Les Wexner is set to testify before the House Oversight Committee behind closed doors at his Ohio home. Early voting is underway in Texas' Senate primaries after late-night host Stephen Colbert said CBS forced him to cancel an interview with Democratic candidate James Talarico following FCC guidance on political airtime. In media shakeups, Anderson Cooper is leaving CBS' 60 Minutes, and independent journalist Georgia Fort pleaded not guilty to federal felony charges tied to covering an anti-ICE protest. On the corporate front, Warner Bros. Discovery reopened talks with Paramount over a $77.9 billion acquisition bid as Netflix circles with a competing offer. The Trump administration is reportedly reviewing its relationship with AI company Anthropic after questions about military use of its Claude model, while Palantir sued Swiss outlet Republik over an investigative report. Meta is facing scrutiny over AI chatbot safety for minors and a patent for AI systems that simulate deceased users. EU regulators are investigating Shein under the Digital Services Act, and the Trump administration has spent at least $40 million deporting migrants to third countries, including Cameroon. Nuclear talks between U.S. and Iranian officials in Geneva reportedly made progress toward a potential new deal. In Argentina, the Senate passed sweeping labor reforms sparking nationwide strike threats. Trump-linked businesses also filed trademarks for “President Donald J.

What's in a name? More specifically, what is a name worth? Gerald Genta, likely the most famous watch designer in history and responsible for conjuring iconic models from the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, the Patek Philippe Nautilus, the IWC Ingenieur, and the Universal Geneve Polerouter, among others, sold his eponymous watch brand and name to what is now Bulgari and LVMH in the early 2000s. Then he started another brand - using his middle name instead of his family name - and that became Gerald Charles. It was sold to the Ziviani family in Italy in 2003, as Genta remained employed at the company as chief designer until his death in 2011. The brand continued producing mostly one-off, bespoke pieces on a small scale for wealthy clients until 2019, when Federico Ziviani, then in his early 20s, took over as Chief Executive Officer and pushed the Gerald Charles brand to a new phase. That would see it draw on designs from Genta's era with the company, most specifically the 'Maestro' case, and sell watches to consumers, first online and then through retailers. Production has climbed from about 200 watches a year to more than 1,500, and prices have climbed as well, to an average of about CHF 27,000, Ziviani tells us in an interview recorded at the company's operations in Geneva, where it has an atelier and a small museum that traces the history of the brand and its production. Ziviani is enthusiastic and passionate about the family-owned company that is now sold in about 100 retail stores globally. And he makes the case for why he thinks Gerald Charles watches deserve their hefty price tag. But first, we jump into some of the recent business headlines in the watch world. Rolex has consolidated its position as the dominant Swiss brand for watches priced above CHF 3,000 francs with more than 60% market share by sales, according to Swiss bank Vontobel. The bank also ranks the top brands by estimated sales, and we consider the list. And the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres, or COSC, is launching a new higher-tier standard to test the accuracy and precision of Swiss watches. We discuss what that might mean for the Swiss industry, brands, and customers. Show Notes 1:40 Rolex Trimmed Production In 2025 According To Swiss Bank Vontobel 7:06 Gold price (Yahoo) 7:30 Switzerland's COSC Unveils 'Excellence Chronometer' Level Of Certification 14:20 Gerald Charles 15:00 Gerald Genta (Wikipedia)  15:49 Gerald Genta Gefica Safari (Europa Star) 17:11 Audemars Piguet Italia (Bloomberg) 18:20 Giampaolo Ziviani and Gerald Genta (Instagram) 26:20 Gerald Charles website 27:30 Ticino, Switzerland (Wikipedia) 38:30 Gerald Charles Ambassadors 42:15 Swiss Made or Swiss Charade?

In this episode, we speak with Philipp Furler, Founder and CEO of Synhelion, who shares how the Swiss technology company is working to scale synthetic fuels by tackling some of the fundamental cost and infrastructure barriers facing SAF today.Furler discusses:The path to $1/litre production costs: How Synhelion targets production costs of around $1 per litre within 10-15 years through three key advantages: cheap solar energy with thermal storage enabling 24/7 operation, avoiding electrolysis and green hydrogen entirely, and achieving over 90% energy conversion efficiency.From fuel producer to technology licensor: How Synhelion plans to demonstrate business case viability by developing projects, building plants, and selling fuel up to 30,000 tons annually by 2030, then transitioning to a project developer and technology licensing model.Multi-product revenue streams reduce risk: Why producing not just 70% SAF but also diesel, naphtha, and gasoline creates multiple revenue streams, enabling customer partnerships and market momentum to support scale-up.Seamless integration with existing refineries: How Synhelion supplies synthetic crude oil directly into refineries in the Lufthansa and Swiss network where it's co-processed with fossil crude in a mass-balanced system, demonstrating that decarbonisation requires only building new production plants, not rebuilding downstream infrastructure.If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Tim Boeltken, Founder and Managing Director at INERATEC, who shares insights into the company's modular technology platform and the potential of e-fuels to revolutionise the future of SAF.

...It's Erich Von Däniken. In the 1960's a Swiss hotelier wrote a book that changed how millions see the past—and how pop culture tells stories about it. We revisit the wild trajectory of Chariots of the Gods, the “ancient aliens” hypothesis it popularized, and the uncomfortable roots that made its rise possible. Then we pull the camera back: how the Space Age, New Age mysticism, and a collapsing trust in old narratives set the stage for infotainment, speculative nonfiction, and a meme that just won't die.

What do you do when your professional world turns upside down? Maybe it's burnout, harassment, a role abolished, or something else.  An identity shaken. Humanitarian workers are trained to carry other people's suffering. But what happens when we are the ones carrying something heavy? In Episode 67 of Embodying Change, Melissa Pitotti sits down with Silvia Risi, former humanitarian aid worker turned mental health peer supporter, to explore one powerful idea: recovery is learning how to carry what happened without letting it define or disable your life. After more than 16 years working in conflict and post-conflict contexts, Silvia reached a breaking point that led her to step away from the field. What followed was not an immediate reinvention. It was grief. Identity loss. Slowness. Reconstruction. This conversation explores what it means to pivot, not by erasing what happened, but by integrating it.In this episode, we explore:• Why losing a job can feel like losing yourself• The difference between therapy, coaching, and mental health peer support• What “Nothing about us without us” means in recovery work• Why peer support is horizontal and rooted in lived experience• How hope can be practiced, not just promised• Why "Pivoting Well" starts with grieving well• How humanitarian skills translate into unexpected new chaptersSilvia shares how reconnecting with her values, practicing daily self-kindness, and finding peers who understood the humanitarian context became central to her healing.Because sometimes the goal is not to "move on."Sometimes the goal is to learn how to carry what happened with strength, dignity, and support.About Silvia RisiSilvia Risi worked for over 16 years in humanitarian operations, primarily in conflict and post-conflict settings. Following burnout and workplace psychological harassment, she began a recovery journey that led her toward coaching, professional training in mental health peer support, and a new way of serving the humanitarian workforce.She is currently completing a university diploma in mental health peer support, and neurodiversity at Lyon University.Silvia now serves as a humanitarian mental health peer supporter with CoCreate Humanity, a Swiss association founded in 2019 to strengthen the psychosocial wellbeing of humanitarian workers and their families.About CoCreate HumanityCoCreate Humanity provides:• Multilingual, confidential humanitarian peer support (primarily online)• Advocacy and awareness through art and community events• Working toward professionalization and training in humanitarian peer supportPeer support at CoCreate Humanity is grounded in lived experience, structured training, and ongoing supervision from mental health professionals. It complements, but does not replace, professional mental health care.Learn more about their work or request support: www.cocreatehumanity.org Additional resources mentioned:●      WHO Europe Roadmap (2025): Transforming Mental Health Through Lived Experiencehttps://www.who.int/europe/publications/i/item/WHO-EURO-2025-12307-52079-79927●      Sarah Verrier's dissertation: Humanitarian Peer Support in Mental Health - A Link in the Chain of Psychosocial Support for Humanitarian Workers (available via CoCreate Humanity website)https://www.cocreatehumanity.org/memoires-final-dissertations  If this episode resonates… If you are navigating mental health challenges, burnout, restructuring, identity shifts, or a career pivot you do not have to carry it alone. Find a peer. Start a conversation. Give yourself permission to grieve what changed. And if this episode felt meaningful, consider sharing it with a colleague who might need to hear it. Because embodying change isn't about pretending nothing happened. It's about learning how to carry what happened together.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers sits down with Dr. Justin Marchegiani to explain why thyroid health is really a whole body conversation, not just a gland problem. You'll learn how thyroid hormone impacts energy, body temperature, mood, digestion, and stress resilience. They also unpack why so many thyroid cases have an autoimmune layer and what that means for your next steps.   You'll hear why Dr. Justin says thyroid issues often show up alongside gut and liver dysfunction, and why focusing only on medication can miss the real roadblocks. He breaks down how T4 becomes active T3 and how stress, inflammation, and nutrient gaps can slow that conversion down. You'll leave with a clearer way to think about what to support first so your metabolism can respond.   You'll learn the link between insulin resistance and sluggish thyroid output, plus how blood sugar data can help you personalize your nutrition instead of guessing. They share simple markers to pay attention to after meals and why consistency matters more than perfection. You'll also hear why stress can spike glucose fast and how a short walk can be one of the quickest ways to bring things back down.   In This Episode:  00:00 Sleep Deprivation, Cortisol & Blood Sugar Spikes 02:17 Meet Dr. Justin & Introducing 'The Thyroid Reboot' 02:56 Why the Thyroid Matters: Metabolism, Gut, Immunity & Autoimmunity 04:13 Hyperthyroid vs Hypothyroid: TSH, T4/T3 Basics & Graves vs Hashimoto's 08:25 Hypothyroid Symptom Checklist + Basal Temperature Clues 11:15 Thyroid Hormone Activation: TRH→TSH→T4→T3, Liver Conversion & Key Nutrients 16:39 Gut Microbiome, Estrogen Detox & Why Thyroid Is a Whole-Body Issue 19:18 Hair Growth Cycle Explained + Why Follicles Get "Stuck" 20:41 Root Causes of Hypothyroidism: Insulin Resistance, Stress, Diet Gaps 22:08 Toxins & Microplastics: How Endocrine Disruptors Impact Thyroid Hormones 22:43 Reading Thyroid Labs: Ideal TSH/T4/T3 Ranges & What They Mean 24:39 Treatment Strategy: Foundations First, Then Thyroid Support (If Needed) 26:53 DIY Thyroid Foundations: Diet, Blood Sugar Testing, Movement & Sleep 33:57 Wrap-Up: Book Plug, Where to Get Help, and Final Takeaways   If you want practical, natural strategies to balance your hormones, heal your gut, boost your energy, and slow aging, don't miss The Dr. Josh Axe Show.

AI Assisted Coding: Stop Building Features, Start Building Systems with AI What separates vibe coding from truly effective AI-assisted development? In this episode, Adam Bilišič shares his framework for mastering AI-augmented coding, walking through five distinct levels that take developers from basic prompting to building autonomous multi-agent systems. Vibe Coding vs AI-Augmented Coding: A Critical Distinction "The person who is actually creating the app doesn't have to have in-depth overview or understanding of how the app works in the background. They're essentially a manual tester of their own application, but they don't know how the data structure is, what are the best practices, or the security aspects."   Adam draws a clear line between vibe coding and AI-augmented coding. Vibe coding allows non-developers to create functional applications without understanding the underlying architecture—useful for product owners to create visual prototypes or help clients visualize their ideas.  AI-augmented coding, however, is what professional software engineers need to master: using AI tools while maintaining full understanding of the system's architecture, security implications, and best practices. The key difference is that augmented coding lets you delegate repetitive work while retaining deep knowledge of what's happening under the hood. From Building Features to Building Systems "When you start building systems, instead of thinking 'how can I solve this feature,' you are thinking 'how can I create either a skill, command, sub-agent, or other things which these tools offer, to then do this thing consistently again and again without repetition.'"   The fundamental mindset shift in AI-augmented coding is moving from feature-level thinking to systems-level thinking. Rather than treating each task as a one-off prompt, experienced practitioners capture their thinking process into reusable recipes. This includes documenting how to refactor specific components, creating templates for common patterns, and building skills that encode your decision-making process. The goal is translating your coding practices into something the AI can repeatedly execute for any new feature. Context Management: The Critical Skill For Working With AI "People have this tendency to install everything they see on Reddit. They never check what is then loaded within the context just when they open the coding agent. You can check it, and suddenly you see 40 or 50% of your context is taken just by MCPs, and you didn't do anything yet."   One of the most overlooked aspects of AI-assisted coding is context management. Adam reveals that many developers unknowingly fill their context window with MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools they don't need for the current task. The solution is strategic use of sub-agents: when your orchestrator calls a front-end sub-agent, it gets access to Playwright for browser testing, while your backend agent doesn't need that context overhead. Understanding how to allocate context across specialized agents dramatically improves results. The Five Levels of AI-Augmented Coding "If you didn't catch up or change your opinion in the last 2-3 years, I would say we are getting to the point where it will be kind of last chance to do so, because the technology is evolving so fast."   Adam outlines a progression from beginner to expert:   Level 1 - Master of Prompts: Learning to write effective prompts, but constantly repeating context about architecture and preferences Level 2 - Configuration Expert: Using files like .cursorrules or CLAUDE.md to codify rules the agent should always follow Level 3 - Context Master: Understanding how to manage context efficiently, using MCPs strategically, creating markdown files for reusable information Level 4 - Automation Master: Creating custom commands, skills, and sub-agents to automate repetitive workflows Level 5 - The Orchestrator: Building systems where a main orchestrator delegates to specialized sub-agents, each running in their own context window The Power of Specialized Sub-Agents "The sub-agent runs in his own context window, so it's not polluted by whatever the orchestrator was doing. The orchestrator needs to give him enough information so it can do its work."   At the highest level, developers create virtual teams of specialized agents. The orchestrator understands which sub-agent to call for front-end work, which for backend, and which for testing. Each agent operates in a clean context, focused on its specific domain. When the tester finds issues, it reports back to the orchestrator, which can spin up the appropriate agent to fix problems. This creates a self-correcting development loop that dramatically increases throughput.   In this episode, we refer to the Claude Code subreddit and IndyDevDan's YouTube channel for learning resources.   About Adam Bilišič Adam Bilišič is a former CTO of a Swiss company with over 12 years of professional experience in software development, primarily working with Swiss clients.

Agnes Luthi is a police officer in Lausanne, Switzerland who transfers from financial to violent crimes just in time to investigate the death of a young art appraiser in a magnificent mountain chateau. An employee of a London auction house, the young victim is at the chateau to take inventory of a priceless medieval art collection and other historical treasures. She's stabbed to death on the eve of a blizzard that shuts down all power and the roads heading in and out. Everyone has a story; some are newcomers, others go back generations, and no one is forthcoming. Agnes feels trapped, but she's determined to solve her first murder case. This is the first novel in Tracee de Hahn's Agnes Luthi mystery series. Tracee de Hahn is a writer and educator. She is the author of traditional mysteries set in Switzerland: Swiss Vendetta and A Well-Timed Murder, both published by Minotaur Books, as well as several non-fiction works on historical topics. Prior to writing fiction, she began her career in the practice of architecture and later received an advanced degree in European history. Each of these of these play a role in her writing. Born in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, she grew up in Kentucky and currently lives in Virginia. Tracee is the immediate past president of the National Board of Sisters in Crime. When not working on her own manuscripts, she acts as a writing mentor and lectures on topics related to writing and publishing.

At 12, he was cutting metal in northern Italy. By 21, he was teaching DMG’s own technicians how to use their machines. At 47, he owns the whole company he first walked into just to set up a machine. Federico Veneziano is the owner of BoldX Industries and an old friend of mine. His story requires two episodes. This is part one: the serendipity, the winding path through shops and countries and setbacks. Part two, we will get into what he’s building now. But first, this is how he got here.

Interview Highlights Teaching the Experts Federico grew up about 60 miles northwest of Milan in a small town called Omegna. He started working in a machine shop at 12 years old. By his early twenties, he had developed deep expertise on Siemens controls, particularly the 840D. When DMG sent technicians to train him on a new machine, they were still new on the control themselves. He ended up helping them. That information got back to DMG headquarters, and they offered him a job. He traveled the world servicing CNC machines. Eventually he proposed an ambitious plan: working three years in the U.S., two years in Germany, three years in China. They agreed. He arrived in the US on August 4, 2004. His English wasn’t great, nobody had booked him a hotel, and he didn’t have a credit card. The first day was rough but he figured it out. The Job That Changed Everything One of Federico's first projects was at American Micro in Batavia, Ohio. The company had been founded in 1957 by a Swiss immigrant. He spent a year there setting up a GMC 35, then Gildemeister's CNC multi-spindle, for a fuel connector job that required gun drilling on a multi-spindle. It had never been done before. The project required developing new spindles and tooling just to make the part work. During that year, he built relationships with the team. When things went wrong with DMG around Christmas 2005, he walked away. He had no plan. It was ten days before the holiday. Then American Micro called. He joined as a process engineer and spent the next two decades working through every department: quality, supply chain, sales, engineering. He became close with the owners, particularly René, one of the founding family’s sons. He bought in as a minority owner, eventually reaching about 14%. He kept that ownership quiet for years. Most people at the company didn’t even know. From Rock Bottom to Owner Then everything hit at once. René passed away. Federico’s father passed within a couple of months. Personal problems piled on. By his own words, it was rock bottom. American Micro was second-generation family owned with no clear succession plan. Federico had tried to buy the company twice before. This time, he decided it was now or never. How does someone go from 14% to sole owner of a company doing $20-25 million in revenue? Federico says it was an amicable transaction where he leveraged multiple things he’d built over the years. He doesn’t go into every detail. But somehow the deal got done. In part two, we’ll get into what he’s building now. BoldX Industries has 125 employees, and Federico says they’re forecasting significant growth. He’s also got a book trilogy coming out. But that’s the next chapter. This one is about how he got here. Question: What twist of fate brought you to your current career?

Michael is 20 years old and runs his own machine shop in Idaho. He bought his first CNC at 17 while still in high school, taught himself machining entirely through YouTube, and has never spent a dollar on advertising.In this episode, Michael shares how he went from building RC airplanes to hand-coding G-code on a vintage Swiss lathe, why he moved his entire shop from Tennessee to Idaho, and how he stays up until 4 AM when customers need parts delivered on time.We talk about his equipment (Haas DM-2, S20Y lathe, Citizen B-12 Swiss, and a new Mazak 5-axis), his approach to finding work through relationships instead of marketing, and his plans to add robots before hiring employees.If you're curious about starting your own shop or wondering how someone builds a manufacturing business from scratch with zero industry connections, this one's worth a listen.Follow Michael on Instagram or YouTube.

How did an industry survive a technology that should have made it obsolete? Aled Maclean-Jones explains to EconTalk's Russ Roberts how Japanese quartz watches nearly wiped out Swiss watchmaking with cheaper, more accurate alternatives--and how the Swiss redefined the value of a watch to recover market dominance. Maclean-Jones discusses the Japanese innovations that led to the Swiss industry's collapse; the brilliant decision by a pair of Swiss mavericks to change the narrative around mechanical watches; and the consolidation and standardization of Swiss watchmaking undertaken by Swatch founder Nicolas Hayek.

In this episode of Gangland Wire, host Gary Jenkins, retired Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit detective, steps outside traditional Mafia territory and into a shadowy world just as dangerous—and just as fascinating: the international theft of ultra-rare automobiles.  Gary is joined by author Stayton Bonner, former senior editor at Rolling Stone, and legendary car-recovery specialist Joe Ford, the real-life figure behind Bonner's book The Million Dollar Car Detective. At the center of the story is a breathtaking pre-World War II automobile—the Talbot-Lago Teardrop Coupé—once described as the most beautiful car in the world. Stolen from a Milwaukee industrialist's garage in 2001, the car vanished into the international underground of elite collectors, forged paperwork, and high-stakes deception. Joe Ford explains how he became the go-to investigator when rare cars worth millions disappear—and why stolen vehicles are far harder to recover than stolen art. What follows is a years-long global hunt involving disgruntled mechanics, fabricated titles, shell corporations, Swiss intermediaries, and a billionaire buyer now locked in civil litigation. Bonner adds rich historical context, tracing the car's glamorous past—from European aristocracy to Hollywood royalty—and exposing how loneliness, obsession, and greed often surround these legendary machines. The conversation expands into other notorious cases, including the disappearance of the original James Bond Aston Martin from Goldfinger, and how wealthy collectors sometimes knowingly harbor stolen artifacts. This episode is a true-crime story without guns or gangs—but filled with deception, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of justice across borders. If you love investigative work, high-end crime, and stories that feel like James Bond meets Gone in 60 Seconds, this one's for you.

In this special Ask Away “Junior Edition” of the Everyday Judaism podcast, recoded during the Super Bowl Halftime, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe opens the floor to a group of young yeshiva students (ages 12–14) who ask thoughtful, deep questions on halacha, Torah, and Jewish life. The rabbi answers with warmth, clarity, and practical wisdom, often tying responses to broader lessons in emunah, mitzvot, and character.Key questions & answers:Aryeh Buchwald: Why does Hashem put us in Olam HaZeh instead of straight to Olam HaBa? — To remove “bread of shame” (nahama d'kisufa). If Hashem gave reward without earning it, we'd feel shame. This world lets us earn Olam HaBa through free will (bechira), overcoming challenges, and building a real relationship with Hashem.Shlomo Chaim Lieberman: Why is Yisro called “Chosen Moshe” and “Kohein Midyon” after his introduction, not just “Yisro”? — Yisro had seven names/titles. He explored every religion before discovering truth in Judaism and converting. The titles highlight his journey and stature—he overcame big challenges to join Klal Yisroel.Ephraim Yaghobian: Can a Jew work cleaning a church room that doesn't contain Avodah Zarah/Idolatry (e.g., priest's office)? — Generally permissible if no actual avodah zarah is present and no direct involvement in idolatry. Still, a God-fearing person may prefer to avoid any connection or send a non-Jewish worker instead. Each case should be asked to a local Orthodox rabbi.Yitzi Wolbe: Why does Gemara argue back and forth instead of just giving the halacha? — Judaism is about seeking truth (emes), not blind faith. Questions are essential—every page of Gemara has questions & answers to verify and deepen understanding. Other religions often forbid questions; Yiddishkeit welcomes them because truth withstands scrutiny.David Balsam: Why wait 6 hours after meat but only 30 minutes after milk? — Meat flavor lingers longer (stays between teeth); milk clears quickly. Hard cheese (e.g., Swiss) follows meat's waiting time because its flavor also persists.Shlomo Wolbe: Why so many different Minhagim (customs) if all Jews follow Torah? — Halacha gives a framework; minhagim are individual/community expressions of fulfilling mitzvot. Everyone must follow core halacha, but variations (e.g., hat styles, prayer customs) are allowed as long as they're rooted in Torah. Hashem loves diversity within unity—12 tribes each had their lane.Aryeh Buchwald: Is it allowed to pretend not to be home when a meshulach (charity collector) knocks? — Avoid outright lying (“I'm not home”). Better to say “I'm busy now” or “not able right now.” Don't say “I have nothing” (opens ayin hara). Giving with a smile is a huge privilege—Hashem sometimes appears as the poor person to see how we treat Him.Shlomo Chaim Lieberman: Eruv on Shabbos—why do we need it? — Biblical prohibition against carrying from private to public domain. Chazal created eruv as a rabbinic solution: string around neighborhood makes it one domain. One of seven major rabbinic enactments (others include netilat yadayim, Shabbos candles). Observe meticulously—many communities have multiple eruvim.The rabbi praises the boys' depth and encourages asking questions—Judaism thrives on seeking truth.Please submit your questions at askaway@torchweb.org_____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!
