Elisa María Fraga Galdo, alumna del Grado en Relaciones Laborales y Recursos Humanos de la UDC, presentó su TFG titulado "Recursos Humanos e Marca Ferrol: Un Estudo desde a Perspectiva do Deporte", donde analiza cómo el deporte de base influye en la imagen de marca de Ferrol, el sentimiento de pertenencia y la empleabilidad juvenil.

La autora continúa ampliando el estudio para mejorar su representatividad y precisión estadística.

Back in the Podcafe studios to look back on 24/25. From Dyche to Moyes, Moshiri to TFG & for the first time in a long time, optimism going into next season.

What if everything you thought you knew about crime and punishment was shaped by those who profit from it? Join us for a discussion with civil rights attorney and author Alec Karakatsanis as he examines “copaganda”—the deliberate manipulation of public perception by police, prosecutors, and the media. Despite historically low crime rates, the United States imprisons far more people than it did just decades ago, driven by a sprawling and profitable punishment industry. Karakatsanis will explore how media narratives fuel fear, distort public policy, and divert attention from systemic harms, challenging us to reconsider who truly benefits from these widespread misrepresentations. Recognized by Teen Vogue as “one of the most prominent voices” on the criminal legal system and a featured guest on shows like The Daily Show with Trevor Noah and The Breakfast Club, Karakatsanis brings his legal expertise, trenchant political analysis, and humorous personal storytelling to delve into one of the most critical topics in our society today. After beginning his career representing people accused of crimes who could not afford an attorney, Alec Karakatsanis founded the Civil Rights Corps, an organization that challenges systemic injustices in the U.S. legal system. In the last decade, the organization's work has freed hundreds of thousands of people from illegal confinement in jail cells, reunited hundreds of thousands of families, returned tens of millions of dollars to marginalized communities, and advanced inspiring alternatives to punishment as a means of preventing and addressing social harm. He was named the 2016 Trial Lawyer of the Year by Public Justice for designing and litigating landmark constitutional challenges to cash bail and modern debtors' prison practices across the United States. The author of Usual Cruelty: The Complicity of Lawyers in the Criminal Injustice System and Copaganda (both from The New Press), he lives in Washington, DC, with a community of wonderful friends, family, weird paintings, a garden, and his rock collection. Erin Papworth, MPH, is a serial entrepreneur, executive, and ex-fintech founder, with a robust background in healthcare, finance, and technology. After leading multi-million dollar health programs in West and Central Africa, Erin co-founded Nav.it, a U.S.-based AI-driven financial wellness app. Nav.it was acquired by The Fintex Group (TFG) in Q1 2025. She is now the CEO of luupo, Inc, a subsidiary of TFG, bringing the mission of more inclusive consumer banking to TFG's global banking and payments network. Erin is an avid traveler, startup advisor, and maintains connections to research institutes, primarily documenting the outcomes of investing in diverse entrepreneurs and social enterprise.

Death might be the end of life, but it's not the end of the bills. In this mini-solo episode, Lawrence dives into the surprisingly high cost of dying. From funerals and burials to cremation, paperwork, and hidden fees. Lawrence breaks down where all that money goes when someone dies. He also discusses how families can prepare, avoid financial strain, and make smarter choices regarding final expenses—a much-needed conversation about life's final price tag.Wait, what's a Financial Griot?The Financial Griot is a play on two words (Finance + Griot) that hold significance in closing the wealth gap while embracing our differences.

In this solo mini-episode, Lawrence discusses the complex relationship between money, people, and power (especially today's political climate). Trump's administration has been anything but subtle. The rise of wealth inequality, tax cuts for the rich, polarizing policies around immigration, and social justice shape how we view our cash and our connections.  The reserved nature of money and people became even more pronounced in a time of division, and how it's all connected. In the end, we know the issues. We now need to take action(s) to even attempt to resolve them. Wait, what's a Financial Griot?The Financial Griot is a play on two words (Finance + Griot) that hold significance in closing the wealth gap while embracing our differences.

From billions wasted on empty facilities and bogus programs to DEI scams and taxpayer-funded fraud, the crew lays it all out. They debate Trump's current strategy, what he needs to fix fast, and why term limits and real tax reform can't wait. With their signature wit and no-BS attitude, the TFG team breaks down the issues that matter most to conservatives.(00:06:47) Inefficiencies in Government Spending and Project Management(00:14:05) Taxpayer Money Misuse in Government Contracts(00:16:36) "Geopolitical Consequences of Money Laundering Scandals"(00:28:54) Stability in Tax Policy and Tariffs(00:33:07) Stability Through Even Reciprocated Tariffs Strategy(00:36:58) National Security and Border Control Support(00:38:03) Evolving Language in Trump Administration Policy Shifts(00:45:22) Effectiveness of Federal Education Funding(00:48:39) Lack of Competition in Education Funding(00:55:07) Education Cabinet Accountability and Effectiveness Evaluation(01:02:50) Effective Border Control Measures and Strategies(01:05:24) Safeguarding Election Integrity through Voter ID Laws(01:21:39) Debate Over Credit for 200,000 Job Cuts(01:24:09) Political Influence: Wealth Accumulation and Hypocrisy

This episode, Lovely and Lawrence, explores the powerful connection between relationships and financial success. The people you surround yourself with—friends, mentors, and professional connections—play a crucial role in shaping opportunities, personal growth, and financial well-being.  Cultivate meaningful relationships, explain why reciprocity is key, and explain how a strong network can open doors that money alone cannot. Whether it's career advancement, business opportunities, or simply having a support system that challenges and uplifts you, investing in people is just as valuable as investing in assets.  Wait, what's a Financial Griot?The Financial Griot is a play on two words (Finance + Griot) that hold significance in closing the wealth gap while embracing our differences.

Hello Rank Squad!We talk a lot about the teams who are outdoing themselves, playing above their means, and taking their rightful flowers for their performances, but there's two sides to every coin. For every Bournemouth, there's a West Ham; for every Mainz, a Borussia Dortmund; and every Athletic Club, a Real Betis. We break down the teams who have struggled to meet their expectations across the course of this season - those who have flattered to deceive, those who have fallen well short of their pre-season expectations, and those who have been forced to reconsider their course midway through the campaign. Before that, there's time to look at a few more things going on in Europe - the resurgence of Kylian Mbappé's Real Madrid form and the fact that all three of the 'Tres Grandes' of Portugal - Sporting, Benfica and Porto - have now changed coaches in the same season for the first time in history. It's Ranks!  And remember, if you'd like more from the Rank Squad, including extra podcasts every Monday and Friday (including our weekly Postbox taking a look at the whole weekend of football) and access to our brilliant Discord community, then why not join us here on Patreon?

Les is joined by Dave, Rodger and Rory. They talk about the clean sheet draws the Blues are obsessed with lately and how they could solve the lack of goals at the other end of the pitch.

In this episode, Lawrence and Alainta share their current music listens and artists. We dive into the hustle, the grind, and the raw authenticity that defines the music genre, highlighting how the artists' journeys reflect resilience and determination. But, we also take a step back to remind ourselves that amid the hustle and constant social media buzz, it's important to take a moment, disconnect, and "touch grass." It is a refreshing reminder to find balance in a world that never stops scrolling.Wait, what's a Financial Griot?The Financial Griot is a play on two words (Finance + Griot) that hold significance in closing the wealth gap while embracing our differences.

I was hoping that after the uncertainty cleared and we got past Nov 5 that things would return to a surreal sort of sanity, but I'm not sure sane will be part of the American lexicon again. It would be very easy for me to remain in bed with the blankets pulled up over my head to avoid dealing with the world, but that certainly wouldn't end well. Thankfully, one of my favorite journalists - one who's not afraid to speak truth to power- Brian Karem (Salon.com, JustAskTheQuestion.com, "Free the Press"...) agreed to join me today to help me somehow get through the first show after TFG somehow managed to con his way back in to the White House. I'll be honest with you. Well, I always am, though I try to hide the extremes of my feelings. But this time just feels worse. I'm not sure how we proceed. Brian doesn't hold back. We'll see what gems of wisdom he can impart today.

Another Monday arrived way too soon, but we'll deal with it.It was a strange weekend -- complete with TFG's obsessing over Arnold Palmer's dick size and Harvey Weinstein getting "schlonged" (I don't believe that's even a word, though "schlong" is Yiddish slang for dick). What more or less would you expect from a demented narcissist who wants to be a dick-tator? As it is Monday, we will visit with Jonathan Larsen from The Fucking News at thefuckingnews.substack.com and the less expletively-challenged jonathanlarsen.substack.com.... And you thought Don-Old was vulgar! He is, but also know that I'm not running for president. He is.

Another week is winding down and, as we do each Friday, Marcy Wheeler and I stick a fork in it with a freewheeling discussion of what happened. Today we begin with the release of Jack Smith's appendices to his filing that TFG fought but failed to prevent. Despite the corporate media's best efforts to prolong the horse race and their refusal to just report the facts and tell the truth, a few moments that could clarify actual truths were able to penetrate the barrage of right wing propaganda. The probing questions were asked by concerned citizens, not from members of the fourth estate who've been negligent in their duties... And yes, we will touch on the big news out of the horrific situation in the Middle East. Yesterday came confirmation that the Israeli Defense Forces had killed Hamas leader and 10/7 architect Yahya Sinwar. The question here is can this please be the thing that will garner the release of the remaining hostages and start the peace process? Please?

The end of this seemingly interminable election season is in sight... less than three weeks away. As important as it is to elect Kamala Harris & Time Walz as POTUS & VPOTUS, it's just as important to give them a Democratic controlled Congress so they can actually get meaningful work done.Today's Thursday, so we'll talk with Howie Klein of Down with Tyranny and the Blue America PAC about those congressional races and see how the Blue America-endorsed candidates are faring, and remind you who they are so you can vote for them too. Blue America now has a contest going on to support Congressman Jamie Raskin's Democracy Summer. Get all the details here, and support an amazing resource offered by my favorite Congressman! Also, yesterday, many of us who rarely if ever turn on the Fox (not) News Channel tuned in to two shows yesterday -- one billed as a "townhall" meeting with host Harris Faulkner and TFG; the other a sit down interview with VP Kamala Harris conducted by the guy who many who should know better call a real journalist, Brett Baier. After Baier's rude questioning and constant interrupting of our sitting Vice President, no one should make that mistake ever again.

We are now three weeks away from election day with, literally, the world at stake. Today, I welcome journalist, author, podcaster, White House Correspondent and musician with the perfect snarky sense of humor, Brian Karem, back to the show. We'll delve into opposite world and beyond, including that very weird Town Hall Meeting turned disco dance party at which TFG answered a few questions then decided he'd rather be a DJ than president. Weird is correct. Demented is probably more accurate...

If persuadable voters are going to back an octogenarian, they are going to need to see less caution—and more piss and vinegar from Biden to combat Trump's "me strong, you weak" schtick. Meanwhile, TFG and RFK, Jr face-planted at the Libertarian convention, James Carville's advice for the Dems, and a tribute to an American original, Bill Walton. show notes: Biden in 2020 calling a voter fat, and a "damn liar" Biden's address at West Point Heilemann's Puck newsletter
