Podcasts about Time out

Send us a textWhat if the secret to great parenting wasn't found in perfect discipline strategies or elaborate educational plans, but in simply showing up? Tyler White, BDR with Akkodis and host of the Timeout with Leaders podcast, brings a refreshingly authentic perspective to fatherhood that will make you rethink your approach to family leadership.Growing up as the son of a high school football coach, Tyler learned early that commitments weren't optional—they were sacred. "The word commitment was like the real C-word in my family," he shares with a laugh. This foundation shaped him profoundly, but it's his two-and-a-half-year-old daughter Ella who's teaching him the most valuable lessons now. Watching her play with zero expectations has awakened his inner child and reminded him that sometimes the best leadership happens when we let go of control.The conversation takes powerful turns as Tyler recounts meeting his wife in sixth-grade church group, losing touch for twenty years, and then reconnecting through Facebook to build a beautiful family together. He vulnerably shares his growth areas as a dad, particularly in fully appreciating the challenges his wife faces as a stay-at-home mom. "Really understanding how much effort and energy that takes out of somebody and always remembering that," he reflects, is his ongoing work.Perhaps most compelling is Tyler's story about learning service from a colleague who drove twenty hours to help someone move without seeking recognition. "When you tell people about your serving, the grace is gone," the colleague explained—a principle that transformed Tyler's approach to both business and fatherhood. His three guiding principles—show up consistently, serve without expectations, and don't take yourself too seriously—offer a powerful framework for any dad looking to strengthen their family leadership.Whether you're a new father finding your footing or a seasoned dad seeking renewed purpose, this conversation will inspire you to embrace the joy of fatherhood without the pressure of perfection.

Today, Martha, Amy, and Matt unpack the Trump administration's decision to grant another 90-day pause on proposed tariffs against China—a new round of extensions that leave businesses in a wait-and-see mode until November. The pause reflects a broader shift in U.S. policy, where economic deal-making often takes precedence over national security imperatives, flipping the old model which put the onus on business leaders to do the right thing for our national security.Does this strategy strengthen America's national security posture or simply prolong uncertainty? What leverage does the U.S. have over China, and are Americans prepared to bear higher costs in the name of economic security? Can the administration bring the public on board with the idea that economic tools are now central to national security—and will this approach yield real results before patience runs out?Check out the sources that helped shape our Fellows' discussions: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/11/trump-china-tariffs-deadline-extended.html https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/aug/12/trumps-china-trade-truce-extension-spurs-market-rally https://www.npr.org/2025/08/12/nx-s1-5500039/us-china-tariffs-trade-truce Follow our experts on Twitter: @marthamillerdc@amykmitchell@WMattHaydenLike what we're doing here?

Every person carries within them a wealth of potential waiting to be discovered, activated, and shared. Yet, too often, we allow fear, doubt, and the pressure to be perfect keep us from taking the first step toward our purpose. The truth is, potential isn't a fixed destination or a certificate of achievement but the existence of possibilities inside you that become real only when you take action. Taking the first step can feel overwhelming, especially when the path ahead is unclear. But progress does not require perfection. It requires movement. Even small, imperfect actions build momentum and bring clarity. Each effort helps you learn more about yourself and your purpose. You begin to see what works, what doesn't, and how you can improve.  So commit to releasing your full potential. Take those imperfect first steps, seek guidance, build your team, and embrace the process. Your potential is a gift meant to be used, not just for yourself, but for everyone who will be touched by your growth. In this episode, I talk about what it really means to go from just having potential to actually living with purpose. I share some thoughts from two books that challenged me, Reaching Your Potential and Designing Your Life and reflect on how purpose shows up when we pause, listen to God, and take that first step. “One of the ways that you combat failure to reach your full potential is to take steps to just get started.” – Dr. Derrick Burgess   Topics Covered: (00:03:45) Reaching Your Potential  (00:05:11) Life without purpose leads to abuse (00:06:03) Use the resources you already have (00:06:48) Right environment is key to success (00:08:12) Your growth affects others around you (00:09:40) Advertisement: Struggling with your finances as a young physician?

Live from Fanatics Fest, The Timeout crew—Dwyane Wade, D. Wright, and Chris Johnson—team up with The Backyard’s D’Angelo Russell and Logan Linkmire for their first-ever on-stage show. The conversation hits everything that matters: identity, legacy, creativity, and life beyond the game. D’Angelo talks about the emotion behind his first signature shoe, the meaning of “ice in my veins,” and what he’s learned about being a true professional. D. Wade reflects on building brands, redefining partnership, and how golf and wine became tools for connection. Vince Carter joins with stories of staying in the league into his 40s, honoring promises to his mom, and giving back through thoughtful mentorship. Each guest closes with one word that anchors their daily life—real talk, raw moments, and two Hall of Famers on stage.

Trong 6 tháng đầu năm 2025, Việt Nam đón hơn 10,6 triệu lượt du khách quốc tế, tăng 20,7% so với cùng kỳ năm 2024, tổng thu từ du lịch ước tính đạt 518 nghìn tỉ đồng (1). Việt Nam tích cực xây dựng hình ảnh với thế giới vì du lịch quốc tế là nguồn đóng góp trực tiếp quan trọng cho GDP, được kỳ vọng 6-8% năm 2025 với 980-1.050 tỉ đồng doanh thu. Bộ Văn Hóa Thể Thao và Du Lịch tổ chức nhiều hoạt động quảng bá du lịch Việt Nam tại nhiều hội chợ du lịch quốc tế và các nước châu Âu như Ý, Thụy Sĩ, Ba Lan, Séc, Đức, đặc biệt là tại Pháp thông qua các sự kiện điện ảnh lớn như Liên hoan phim Cannes 2025 và các hoạt động bên lề, quảng bá, xúc tiến du lịch tại Hội nghị thượng đỉnh Diễn đàn Đối tác vì tăng trưởng xanh và mục tiêu toàn cầu 2030 (P4G) lần thứ 4, giới thiệu Nhã nhạc cung đình Huế tại Quảng trường Trocadéro (Esplanade de Trocadéro), Paris tối 11/05… Tuy nhiên, chính những chuyến công du Việt Nam của các nhà lãnh đạo các nước lớn trên thế giới chính là một cách quảng cáo hữu hiệu cho du lịch Việt Nam. Ví dụ hình ảnh chuyến công du Hà Nội ngày 25-27/05/2025 của tổng thống Emmanuel Macron được truyền thông Pháp liên tục đưa tin. Đất nước thanh bình, an toàn Hình ảnh ông Macron cũng phu nhân thong dong đi dạo Hồ Gươm ngay trong đêm khi vừa mới đến Hà Nội được bình luận nhiều. Và đây cũng là cách “quảng bá hình ảnh của Việt Nam ra thế giới”, theo cảm nhận của bà Nguyễn Thị Lan chia sẻ với RFI Tiếng Việt khi đang cùng bạn chụp ảnh ở Hồ Gươm : “Tôi thấy những cuộc đi dạo phố Hà Nội của tổng thống Pháp rất ý nghĩa. Người ta là tổng thống nhưng hòa đồng với người dân Việt Nam, điều đó chứng tỏ người dân rất thân thiện. Cho nên, qua đó cũng quảng bá được hình ảnh người Việt Nam thân thiện, các di tích, danh lam thắng cảnh của Việt Nam sẽ được thế giới biết đến”. Anh Tiến, ngồi cùng nhóm bạn trong một quán cà phê đối diện Nhà Thờ Lớn, nơi tổng thống Pháp và phu nhân đến thăm hôm trước, chia sẻ : “Nhìn chung, mọi người đều có tâm trạng phấn khởi. Đối với một người dân Việt Nam như tôi, tôi cũng cảm thấy là có một chút gì đấy rất là hãnh diện, rất tự hào. Mình tự hào vì đất nước mình là một đất nước nhỏ, mình phát triển sau người ta cả một quãng rất là dài, còn người ta ở một nước phát triển hơn mà người ta sang và cảm nhận được cuộc sống của người Việt Nam, thì chắc người ta cũng rất ngưỡng mộ đấy. Chứ nếu mình mà là nước lớn thì chuyện lại khác. Đúng không?” “Việt Nam” cũng trở thành từ khóa được tìm kiếm nhiều sau khi xảy ra “sự cố” lúc mở cửa máy bay và bị đồn thổi là “tổng thống bị vợ tát”. Một yếu tố khác là tổng thống Macron phát biểu với báo chí, truyền thông chiều 26/05 ngay ngoài đường, đằng sau là một dãy xe máy. Tiếp theo là hình ảnh tổng thống và phu nhân được người dân Hà Nội đến chào và tặng quà khi rời khỏi nhà hàng Madame Hiền ở phố Hàng Bè. Anh Tiến cho rằng “phải cảm thấy thoái mái, cảm thấy đất nước thanh bình mà họ yên tâm” hòa vào đám đông. “Những hình ảnh đó mà được quảng bá lên thì khách du lịch nhìn vào đấy, người ta sẽ sang Việt Nam nhiều hơn. Mức độ tin tưởng hoặc là những phong cảnh của Việt Nam đẹp, cuộc sống rất là thanh bình, cho nên sẽ thu hút. Bởi vì bản thân tổng thống các nước đi sang Việt Nam, có cần phải có vệ sĩ đi đâu, không cần mà, người ta đi lại bình thường cũng như những người dân bình thường thôi mà. Người dân Việt Nam cũng rất là mến khách, điều đó ai cũng biết. Còn phong cảnh thì được ưu ái rất nhiều”. Nhiều công trình văn hóa, di tích lịch sử tại Hà Nội được đưa vào lịch trình tham quan và làm việc của tổng thống Pháp, như Phủ chủ tịch, lăng chủ tịch Hồ Chí Minh, Văn Miếu Quốc Tử Giám, Bảo tàng Mỹ thuật, Nhà thờ lớn, khu phố cổ, Hồ Gươm… Những công trình này mang phong cách kiến trúc đa dạng, từ truyền thống đến Đông Dương và hiện đại. Định vị thương hiệu du lịch qua ẩm thực Song song với việc đề cao di sản kiến trúc, danh lam thắng cảnh, Việt Nam cũng muốn “định vị thương hiệu du lịch qua ẩm thực”, theo báo Nhân Dân và “lan tỏa tinh hoa ẩm thực Việt Nam ra thế giới thông qua ngoại giao”. Tạp chí Thông tin & Truyền Thông viết : “Hình ảnh các nguyên thủ, lãnh đạo cấp cao các nước hay doanh nhân nước ngoài đi dạo, thưởng thức các món ăn đường phố tại Việt Nam dường như đã không còn quá xa lạ và dần trở thành một “đặc sản” để Việt Nam thông qua đó quảng bá ẩm thực, văn hóa, con người nước Nam với bạn bè quốc tế”. Tổng thống Barack Obama đi ăn bún chả, nhà sáng lập kiêm chủ tịch và giám đốc điều hành (CEO) Nvidia Hoàng Nhân Huân (Jensen Huang) đi uống bia ở phố Tạ Hiện, thủ tướng Úc Anthony Albanese uống bia, ăn bánh mì, CEO Apple Tim Cook uống cà phê trứng… Tổng thống Pháp Emmanuel Macron ăn nem rán, bún riêu tại nhà hàng Madame Hiền, nổi tiếng món dân dã Việt Nam nhưng do bếp trưởng người Pháp Didier Corlou điều hành. Chị Nguyễn Hoàng Yến, quản lý Nhà hàng Madame Hiền, giải thích với RFI Tiếng Việt là khi được biết là tổng thống Pháp sẽ đến ăn trưa làm việc với giới hoạt động văn hóa, nghệ thuật, bếp trưởng Didier Corlou “đã đưa ra một số thực đơn để họ thử và chọn, sau đó để điều chỉnh theo đúng gu”. “Nhà hàng Madame Hiền nổi tiếng về ẩm thực Việt Nam nhưng lại do bếp trưởng là người Pháp cho nên dùng toàn bộ sản phẩm thuần Việt và dùng các gia vị, rau thơm của Việt Nam. Thực đơn gửi đến đoàn của tổng thống Pháp gồm có nem rán, nem cuốn, có món bún riêu. Dù là những món ăn truyền thống nhưng hơi có phong cách của bếp trưởng. Điểm mạnh của ẩm thực Việt Nam nói chung và của Hà Nội nói riêng, theo tôi, đó là nhờ gia vị và “mùa nào thức đấy”, đặc biệt là rau thơm, rau củ quả đều tươi. Đấy cũng là điểm khiến bếp trưởng của nhà hàng Madame Hiền gắn bó với Việt Nam và quyết định mở nhà hàng về món ăn Việt Nam”. Kết hợp di sản kiến trúc với ẩm thực Ngoài ra, địa điểm cũng là thế mạnh của nhà hàng. Được xây từ năm 1928 theo thiết kế của kiến trúc người Pháp Lagisquet, căn biệt thự cổ vẫn giữ nguyên vẹn vẻ đẹp cổ kính theo kiến trúc Đông Dương. Theo chia sẻ của chị Hoàng Yến, đây là một trong năm biệt thự Pháp cổ được một thương gia người Pháp cải tạo, khai thác kinh doanh nhà hàng từ lâu. Những nét kiến trúc đặc trưng được bảo tồn cẩn thận để quảng bá tới du khách quốc tế khi đến Việt Nam. “Nhà hàng chọn khu biệt thự Pháp cổ, thường có quang cảnh và không gian mở để cho thực khách thưởng thức và có bầu không khí ấm cúng. Về không gian, nội thất, nhà hàng thử sử dụng như trong một gia đình Việt Nam, ấm cúng, không phải vào một nhà hàng sang trọng mà là vào một nhà hàng của gia đình Việt Nam. Món ăn bình dân nhưng vì bếp trưởng của nhà hàng từng làm trong khách sạn Métropole gần 20 năm, nên anh ấy sử dụng gia vị và rau thơm Việt Nam, nhưng thêm chút hương vị Pháp vào đó”. Thành phố Hà Nội đã lập danh sách những tòa biệt thự Pháp cổ còn lại ở Hà Nội, trong đó có rất nhiều công trình quan trọng sẽ được trùng tu để tạo thêm giá trị về kiến trúc, di sản, văn hóa. Theo Cơ quan hỗ trợ hợp tác quốc tế vùng Paris tại Việt Nam - PRX-Vietnam, hiện nhà tư vấn về bảo tồn di sản cho thành phố Hà Nội, nhiều biệt thự cổ sẽ được trùng tu để tạo thêm công năng mới như khách sạn, nhà hàng, quán cà phê, không gian triển lãm… Thực tế cần đúng với hình ảnh được quảng bá Tuy nhiên, đôi khi hình ảnh một Việt Nam thơ mộng bị phá vỡ bởi những thực tế kém hào nhoáng hơn. Trong bài “Điểm đến Việt Nam : những bất ngờ trong chuyến du lịch lớn đầu tiên đến châu Á” được đăng trên nhật báo Pháp Le Figaro ngày 14/07/2025, hai du khách trẻ người Pháp chia sẻ trải nghiệm, ngỡ ngàng cũng có và thất vọng cũng có : nắng nóng khắc nghiệt, ô nhiễm đô thị, và thậm chí là tình trạng quá tải ở một số địa điểm mang tính biểu tượng như Vịnh Hạ Long. Giao thông ở Hà Nội, đặc biệt là phố đường tàu, được coi là điểm đặc biệt nhưng nhanh chóng trở nên ngột ngạt, ồn ào, vì còi xe liên tục cùng với ô nhiễm không khí, khiến Agathe thấy hài lòng vì được đến với thiên nhiên Ninh Bình sau ba ngày ở Hà Nội. Tháng 07/2025, Việt Nam được tạp chí Time Out chọn là điểm du lịch kinh tế nhất và phong phú nhất ở Đông Nam Á. Ngoài giá vé máy bay thiếu cạnh tranh so với một số nước trong khu vực như Thái Lan, Singapore, chi phí ở Việt Nam không quá đắt, khuyến khích giới trẻ “xách ba lô lên và đi”. Ngoài ra, còn phải kể đến chính sách miễn thị thực. Việt Nam ký các hiệp định miễn thị thực song phương với nhiều quốc gia và đơn phương miễn thị thực cho công dân 13 nước (2), chủ yếu là các nước châu Âu, thời hạn tạm trú được nâng lên thành 45 ngày. Biện pháp có hiệu lực đến hết ngày 14/03/2028 và sẽ được xem xét gia hạn theo quy định của pháp luật Việt Nam. Trong 6 tháng đầu năm 2025, Bộ Văn Hóa, Thể Thao và Du Lịch đã xây dựng và triển khai Chương trình kích cầu phát triển du lịch năm 2025. Tuy nhiên, theo Báo Tuyên Quang ngày 28/07 (3), các nhà quản lý du lịch đều ý thức được rằng “để duy trì đà tăng trưởng và nâng cao chất lượng du lịch, Việt Nam cần tiếp tục đầu tư vào cơ sở hạ tầng, phát triển sản phẩm du lịch độc đáo, bền vững và đặc biệt là nâng cao chất lượng nguồn nhân lực”. (1) Theo báo cáo ngày 24/07/2025 của bộ Văn hóa, Thể Thao và Du lịch. (2) Đức, Pháp, Ý, Tây Ban Nha, Đan Mạch, Thụy Điển, Na Uy, Phần Lan, Anh và Bắc Ireland, Nga, Belarus, Nhật Bản, Hàn Quốc.  (3) Báo Tuyên Quang, "Hơn 10 triệu lượt khách du lịch quốc tế đến Việt Nam trong 6 tháng đầu năm 2025".

Trong 6 tháng đầu năm 2025, Việt Nam đón hơn 10,6 triệu lượt du khách quốc tế, tăng 20,7% so với cùng kỳ năm 2024, tổng thu từ du lịch ước tính đạt 518 nghìn tỉ đồng (1).

Được xây từ năm 1928 theo thiết kế của kiến trúc người Pháp Lagisquet, căn biệt thự cổ vẫn giữ nguyên vẹn vẻ đẹp cổ kính theo kiến trúc Đông Dương. Theo chia sẻ của chị Hoàng Yến, đây là một trong năm biệt thự Pháp cổ được một thương gia người Pháp cải tạo, khai thác kinh doanh nhà hàng từ lâu. Những nét kiến trúc đặc trưng được bảo tồn cẩn thận để quảng bá tới du khách quốc tế khi đến Việt Nam. “Nhà hàng chọn khu biệt thự Pháp cổ, thường có quang cảnh và không gian mở để cho thực khách thưởng thức và có bầu không khí ấm cúng. Về không gian, nội thất, nhà hàng thử sử dụng như trong một gia đình Việt Nam, ấm cúng, không phải vào một nhà hàng sang trọng mà là vào một nhà hàng của gia đình Việt Nam. Món ăn bình dân nhưng vì bếp trưởng của nhà hàng từng làm trong khách sạn Métropole gần 20 năm, nên anh ấy sử dụng gia vị và rau thơm Việt Nam, nhưng thêm chút hương vị Pháp vào đó”. Thành phố Hà Nội đã lập danh sách những tòa biệt thự Pháp cổ còn lại ở Hà Nội, trong đó có rất nhiều công trình quan trọng sẽ được trùng tu để tạo thêm giá trị về kiến trúc, di sản, văn hóa. Theo Cơ quan hỗ trợ hợp tác quốc tế vùng Paris tại Việt Nam - PRX-Vietnam, hiện nhà tư vấn về bảo tồn di sản cho thành phố Hà Nội, nhiều biệt thự cổ sẽ được trùng tu để tạo thêm công năng mới như khách sạn, nhà hàng, quán cà phê, không gian triển lãm… Thực tế cần đúng với hình ảnh được quảng bá Tuy nhiên, đôi khi hình ảnh một Việt Nam thơ mộng bị phá vỡ bởi những thực tế kém hào nhoáng hơn. Trong bài “Điểm đến Việt Nam : những bất ngờ trong chuyến du lịch lớn đầu tiên đến châu Á” được đăng trên nhật báo Pháp Le Figaro ngày 14/07/2025, hai du khách trẻ người Pháp chia sẻ trải nghiệm, ngỡ ngàng cũng có và thất vọng cũng có : nắng nóng khắc nghiệt, ô nhiễm đô thị, và thậm chí là tình trạng quá tải ở một số địa điểm mang tính biểu tượng như Vịnh Hạ Long. Giao thông ở Hà Nội, đặc biệt là phố đường tàu, được coi là điểm đặc biệt nhưng nhanh chóng trở nên ngột ngạt, ồn ào, vì còi xe liên tục cùng với ô nhiễm không khí, khiến Agathe thấy hài lòng vì được đến với thiên nhiên Ninh Bình sau ba ngày ở Hà Nội. Tháng 07/2025, Việt Nam được tạp chí Time Out chọn là điểm du lịch kinh tế nhất và phong phú nhất ở Đông Nam Á. Ngoài giá vé máy bay thiếu cạnh tranh so với một số nước trong khu vực như Thái Lan, Singapore, chi phí ở Việt Nam không quá đắt, khuyến khích giới trẻ “xách ba lô lên và đi”. Ngoài ra, còn phải kể đến chính sách miễn thị thực. Việt Nam ký các hiệp định miễn thị thực song phương với nhiều quốc gia và đơn phương miễn thị thực cho công dân 13 nước (2), chủ yếu là các nước châu Âu, thời hạn tạm trú được nâng lên thành 45 ngày. Biện pháp có hiệu lực đến hết ngày 14/03/2028 và sẽ được xem xét gia hạn theo quy định của pháp luật Việt Nam. Trong 6 tháng đầu năm 2025, Bộ Văn Hóa, Thể Thao và Du Lịch đã xây dựng và triển khai Chương trình kích cầu phát triển du lịch năm 2025. Tuy nhiên, theo Báo Tuyên Quang ngày 28/07 (3), các nhà quản lý du lịch đều ý thức được rằng “để duy trì đà tăng trưởng và nâng cao chất lượng du lịch, Việt Nam cần tiếp tục đầu tư vào cơ sở hạ tầng, phát triển sản phẩm du lịch độc đáo, bền vững và đặc biệt là nâng cao chất lượng nguồn nhân lực”.

Send us a textHave you ever found yourself running in the opposite direction of where God is clearly telling you to go? Jonah, that reluctant prophet from the Old Testament, took an over 2,000-mile detour away from his divine assignment to Nineveh.The fascinating thing about Jonah isn't just the dramatic "big fish" moment we all remember from Sunday School—it's why he ran in the first place. Unlike many biblical heroes who hesitated out of insecurity or fear, Jonah fled because he knew exactly what would happen if he succeeded. He understood God's compassionate nature so well that he was certain the Ninevites (people he despised) would repent and receive mercy. His prejudice was so strong that he literally preferred death over seeing his enemies forgiven.God's response wasn't abandonment but a divine "timeout"—three uncomfortable days in the belly of a great fish with heat, humidity, and darkness forcing Jonah to reconsider his choices. This wasn't punishment; it was redirection. And when Jonah finally delivered his reluctant five word sermon, an entire city turned to God, from the king down to the livestock.The story takes a surprising turn when, instead of celebrating this spiritual awakening, Jonah throws a temper tantrum. He's more concerned about losing the shade of a plant than the potential destruction of an entire population. Through this, God reveals the real issue: Jonah's heart didn't reflect divine compassion.What's your Nineveh? Who is God calling you to reach that you'd rather avoid? The beautiful promise throughout Jonah's story is that even when we run, God pursues—not to punish but to redirect us toward our true calling. And unlike Jonah's dramatic commission, our calling is simpler: just be more like Jesus to those around us. No prophetic warnings required, just authentic love and presence.Ready to explore what God might be calling you to?

In this episode of The Timeout, Dwyane Wade, Dorell Wright, Bob, and Chris Johnson get real about what makes players great—and what it takes to raise them. They start with hoops talk: Westbrook’s unmatched energy, Draymond Green’s leadership beyond the stat sheet, and the game-changing presence of all-time greats like MJ, Kobe, LeBron, and Steph. Everyone shares their personal top-7 lists, shaped by impact, era, and firsthand experience. Then it’s all about fatherhood and youth sports. They break down AU circuits—Nike, Adidas, UA, Puma—and the real debate: exposure vs. development. Dorell shares why his son switched teams for growth, and Chris explains Isaiah’s college-over-prep decision. Bob brings his parenting playbook to soccer, focusing on discipline, consistency, and love for the process—not just the sport. It’s a raw look at how fathers shape not just athletes, but men.

When it comes to wellness, many people are overwhelmed by all the choices. From supplements to shakes to oils, it can be hard to know what actually works and who to trust. Some products promise quick results. Others sound too good to be true. And with so much information online, it's easy to feel confused or unsure. That's why real conversations matter. Sometimes, what people need most is not a product but someone who listens, shares honestly, and points them toward small steps that make a real difference. The truth is, wellness should never feel like pressure. It's not about being perfect or doing everything at once. It's about finding what works for your body and your life. That often starts with education, asking questions, learning what ingredients actually do, and being open to trying something new without guilt or fear. When health and wellness are offered with kindness, patience, and honesty, it becomes easier to focus on what really matters. At the end of the day, wellness isn't about selling or following trends. It's about helping others feel good, live well, and make informed choices that truly support their health. And sometimes, the simplest tools shared with care can have the biggest impact. Raina Windham is a dynamic entrepreneur, devoted mother and wife, and the Senior Vice President of Bravenly Global. With a passion for health and wellness, she leads efforts to promote natural, science-backed products designed to help people feel better, look better, and live healthier lives. In this episode, I talk with Raina Windham about how she started with Bravenly and why helping people feel better is her main goal. We talk about the importance of trust, clean ingredients, and how simple wellness tools can support busy people like moms, teachers, and caregivers. Raina also shares why it's okay to ask questions, learn first, and take care of your own health without pressure.   "Listening to the customer first, just like you would listen to your patient first, then offering them solutions to help them, and continuing to follow up." – Raina Windham   Topics Covered: (00:00:26) Welcoming our guest speaker, Raina Windham (00:02:07) The Windham and Burgess connection (00:04:54) Physicians, entrepreneurship, and patient care (00:07:55) The importance of listening to patients  (00:10:15) Offering support without overstepping boundaries (00:13:22) Ask questions (00:16:53) What makes Bravenly better than other supplements and drinks (00:18:45) Even healthy people need help (00:20:10) Why not earn by sharing (00:26:23) Be careful about what you recommend (00:29:22) Advertisement: Struggling with your finances as a young physician?

Новости на радио «Русские Эмираты» в Дубае:- Дубай вошел в топ-10 лучших городов мира по показателю привлекательности вечеринок и ночной жизни в целом. В глобальном рейтинге Time Out, основанном на опросах жителей крупнейших мегаполисов, эмират занял девятое место, обойдя такие города, как Мумбаи и Мехико.- Для жителей Объединенных Арабских Эмиратов, планирующих путешествие в Европу, ввели новое правило подачи документов на оформление шенгенской визы.

Sie beschreibt sich selbst als humorvoll, chaotisch und etwas rechthaberisch: Deutschlands Volleyball- und Beachvolleyballstar Louisa Lippmann. Die BR Volleys Athletin feiert vor der Heim-EM in Düsseldorf ihre Premiere am „Feinherb & Spritzig“-Mikro und will einfach das Timeout kapern. Es geht um das Leben als Beachvolleyballerin mit Rechenschieber, Jetlag, der großen Annahme-Überraschung und wenig schmackhaftem One-Two-Barbecue. Der Traum, Stewardess zu werden, wurde für Louisa zwar nicht wahr, dafür hat es 2024 immerhin für Olympia gereicht. Wie isset jetzt mit ihrer neuen Partnerin? Nimmt sie als “Erfahrene“ Linda Bock an die Hand? Klares Nein! Höchstens beim Thema Döner, denn Berliner ist besser als Hamburger. Fakt!

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Shakira has secured another major global headline by being announced as a principal headliner for the 2025 Global Citizen Festival, set for September 27 in Central Park, New York. This is not just another gig—she'll be sharing the bill with megastars like The Weeknd, Tyla, Ayra Starr, and Mariah the Scientist, while Hugh Jackman returns for his eleventh year as host. According to the official Global Citizen campaign, this year's focus includes providing energy access to a million people across Africa, mobilizing 200 million dollars to safeguard 30 million hectares of the Amazon rainforest, and delivering quality education, in partnership with FIFA, to 30,000 children globally. Shakira spoke about her motivation for joining the festival, saying she's “honored to headline the incredible Global Citizen Festival in Central Park this September… Music has always been my way of connecting with people and leaving a mark on the world. I can't wait to perform, unite, and inspire action.” Press from CBS News New York and TimeOut New York has echoed how significant this platform is, especially given its intersection of entertainment and urgent global activism. Tickets are once again technically free, but hopeful attendees have to participate in advocacy actions to gain entry.This Central Park appearance is uniquely timed as a standout pause from her ongoing Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, which continues to make waves across the U.S. and will soon hit Latin America, including Mexico, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, and Ecuador. Her recent stadium show at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, announced and promoted heavily by the venue, reaffirmed her enduring arena-filling appeal. On social media, Shakira's engagement shows no signs of slowing. An Instagram video surfaced this week where Shakira appears recharging in the sun, teasing fans to “expect more for your hair,” fueling speculation about a possible new beauty or personal care collaboration, though details remain unconfirmed.Looking at recent trending headlines, the festival announcement has dominated reputable outlets like CBS, TimeOut, and Global Citizen's own platform, elevating Shakira's current activities to the level of biographical significance—this is a global impact moment, not just a musical milestone. No major controversies or negative news tied to Shakira herself have broken through in the last few days. While less substantial, Shakira also became an unexpected talking point in viral pop culture when another Shakira—Love Island UK's Shakira Khan—sparked debate for her fame-related comments, but there is no relation to the artist, and confusion seems limited to fleeting social media buzz. At this pace, Shakira's 2025 looks not just busy, but legacy-defining.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

With security tight, DI Ruth Hunter and DS Nick Evans are looking for a suspect among the guests.

Becoming a doctor means learning to save lives under pressure, but no one prepares us for the emergencies in our own lives, especially the financial ones. We carry six-figure debt, face high expectations, and receive little guidance on managing money. While we handle medical crises with precision, we're often left guessing about loan repayment, insurance, and retirement, all while working long hours and building our careers. This isn't just about money. It's about knowing how to keep your future intact when the pressure hits. Because financial stress doesn't wait until after you've settled in. It shows up on day one. It follows you into the OR. It lingers in the silence after another 28-hour shift. And for too many, it becomes a quiet source of shame. But it doesn't have to be that way. The truth is, being a great doctor should never come at the expense of your future. You deserve more than survival. You deserve stability, clarity, and a plan that honors the work you've already done. You've trained to care for others. Now it's time to care for your own future. Dr. Zwade Marshall is an Emory and Harvard-trained, double board-certified anesthesiologist and interventional pain management specialist. He serves as Chief Medical Officer of Regenerative Spine and Pain Specialists. With a background in Economics from Emory and clinical training from Harvard, Dr. Marshall co-founded Doc2Doc Lending to create physician-focused financial solutions after recognizing how traditional banks often misjudge the risk profile of early-career doctors. In this episode with Dr. Zwade Marshall, we talk about how young doctors can build a strong financial foundation during a very busy and stressful time in their careers. You'll learn how to handle the unexpected by understanding the basics of DIRE: Debt, Insurance, Retirement, and Emergencies. We also share simple tips for creating a budget, saving money automatically, and getting ready for retirement, even if it seems far away. Listen in to get clear, practical steps that will help you make smart money decisions and protect your future. “Life is not linear. You'll need some forward steps, some backward steps. Sometimes you're given two bad options, and you have to figure out how to survive in that moment and repair it for the future.”- Dr. Zwade J.

It's not any more or less important, depending upon when you're doing this.” - Dr. Zwade J. Marshall  “There is a certain resilience and grit that comes with going through this process, especially for those who did not get where they wanted to be the first time.” - Dr. Zwade J. Marshall  "Sometimes you're just going through a transition, and if you make it through, that's when your real dream awaits you.”- Dr. Zwade J. Marshall “Life insurance provides an umbrella so your family won't be saddled with debt if something happens to you.”- Dr. Zwade J.

In this summer edition of The Timeout, Dwyane Wade, D. Wright, Bob, and Chris Johnson take a break from hoops to talk about fireworks, fatherhood, and all things July 4th. They swap childhood stories—homemade M80s, Roman candle battles, and firework fails—then fast forward to life as dads juggling summer camps, recitals, and college prep. The crew also gets into travel habits (shorts vs. sweats, socks with slides), airplane comfort, and how their summer looks now. Even a power outage mid-show doesn’t stop the laughs, real talk, and good vibes.

Sometimes the biggest dreams begin in the smallest rooms. Not because the room is grand or the lighting is perfect, but because the vision inside the person is too powerful to stay quiet. Indeed, it's not the size of the space that matters, it's what you dare to believe inside it. The truth is, most dreams don't start with applause. They start in isolation. They start when you feel unseen, unproven, and unsure if anyone will care. But it's in those very moments that character is shaped. When no one is watching, you learn to stay consistent. When there's no audience, you discover if you're doing it for approval or purpose. Greatness rarely shows up looking like a spotlight. It often looks like discipline when you're tired. Courage when you're doubting. Obedience when the outcome is unclear.  If you're in a small room wondering if it matters, hold on. This could be the foundation for something greater. So keep showing up not for applause, but because the vision in you won't stay quiet. In this anniversary episode of Time Out with the SportsDr, I'm sharing what it's taken to get here, the setbacks, the growth, the faith, and the community that made it all possible. Four years ago, this podcast started in a quiet basement. Today, I'm standing in front of the Eiffel Tower, filled with gratitude for every step of this journey. This isn't just a celebration, but a reminder that small beginnings can lead to unimaginable impact.  “Words are powerful, and if you're not telling yourself what you can do, you can't expect the world to have your back.” – Dr. Derrick Burgess Topics Covered: (00:00:14) Time Out with the SportsDr. Purpose and Vision (00:00:25) Celebrating the 4th Anniversary from Paris (00:01:18) Burnout, balance, and scaling back the podcast (00:01:54) New partnerships & continued community impact (00:03:22) The Three Pillars: Mindset, Assets, and Success (00:05:14) Character, discipline & the process of overcoming (00:06:40) Thank you!

In this Game 7 special of The Timeout, Dwyane Wade, D Wright, Bob, and Chris Johnson jump on live mid-Finals action from home to break down the biggest night in basketball. As OKC storms past Indiana to claim the title, the crew reacts in real-time to Tyrese Haliburton’s devastating early injury, dissect how it shifted the Pacers' rhythm, and credit OKC’s depth and poise on the biggest stage. They spotlight Alex Caruso’s surprising offensive impact, Chet Holmgren’s unicorn-like evolution, and SGA’s crowning moment as both regular season and Finals MVP. The conversation goes deeper—debating legacy, leadership styles, the shifting landscape of dynasties in today’s NBA, and whether Russell Westbrook deserves more flowers. Plus, the guys reflect on building The Timeout since the Luka trade, celebrate the platform’s fast rise, and tease a pivot toward deeper convos—from barbershop talk to fatherhood—in the offseason.

In this episode of The Timeout, Dwyane Wade, D Wright, Bob, Chris Johnson and guest Lance Fresh break down Indiana’s 92–62 rout of OKC in Game 6 of the NBA Finals and tee up the winner-takes-all Game 7. They spotlight Tyrese Haliburton’s clutch shooting, Obie Toppin’s off-ball mastery, and Andrew Nembhard’s lockdown defense on SGA, while critiquing OKC’s “laid-back” intensity and lauding Rick Carlisle’s bold move to start TJ McConnell early. Drawing on Pat Riley’s teachings and Dwyane’s own 2006 Finals heroics, they debate the impact of veteran leadership, fan energy as the “sixth man,” and even player fashion risks at center court. Picks are split: Fresh rides with the Pacers, Bob and Chris back an SGA-anchored OKC comeback, and Dwyane goes with the MVP at home. Music Credit: Khari Mateen.

Life doesn't always go as planned. For some, the path is clear. For others, it takes unexpected turns. That was true for one former athlete whose dream of going pro ended with a heart condition. But instead of giving up, he pivoted—with purpose. He moved from the field to farming, and later, to medicine. It wasn't easy. The path didn't make sense on paper, but someone believed in him. Now, he's creating something bigger: The Youth Sports Awards. More than just trophies, it's a national stage to honor young athletes as leaders, students, and changemakers. It's about recognizing not just performance, but potential. It invites doctors, parents, icons, and supporters to pour into the next generation on and off the field. This isn't just an event. It's a movement. A reminder that success isn't always about staying on the same path—it's about knowing when to pivot. Dr. William Hill is a doctor and former college athlete who helps young people succeed through sports and education. He founded Athlete Forever and the Youth Sports Awards to support and celebrate young athletes. He cares deeply about helping young athletes grow both on and off the field, teaching them skills like money management and wellness.  In this episode with Dr. William Hill, we explore his inspiring journey of overcoming sudden setbacks, transitioning from athlete to surgeon, and the passion behind creating the Youth Sports Awards—a platform that celebrates young athletes' achievements both on and off the field. Tune in for inspiration on chasing your purpose and supporting the next generation of athletes. “You have to go after what your mission, vision and purpose is.

This SPECIAL EPISODE introduces my new single “THE CUT OF THE KNIFE”. It's the last of the four new singles that I've released monthly beginning in March. The first was “Rough Rider”, the second was “Moon Shot”, and the third was “Day At The Races”.I wrote “The Cut Of The Knife as a kind of homage to Dave Brubeck, the revered American jazz pianist. His saxophonist, Paul Desmond, wrote a song called “Take Five”, and the Brubeck band recorded it in 1959 on their album “Time Out”. That tune has become the biggest selling jazz song of all time. It even became a big crossover hit on the radio.One of the things that made “Take Five” so cool was that it was written in an odd time signature, 5/4 time. So the song's title was a play on words about its time signature and it was also an inside musician's phrase telling the band to relax for five minutes before the next set.“The Cut Of The Knife” features an incredible Guest Artist on guitar solo - Kerry Marx, the Musical Director of the Grand Ole Opry band who has been a guest on this podcast. His credits include touring with Johnny Mathis, Olivia Newton-John and Don McLean, recordings with Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash, movie albums like “Finding Nemo”, and music awards shows like Billboard, CMA and the American Music Awards.And a shout out goes to two of my longtime Project Grand Slam band mates - Baden Goyo on keys and Joel E. Mateo on drums. Both play terrific solos on the new single. And Joel's drum solo is particularly meaningful because Joe Morello, Brubeck's drummer, played a memorable drum solo on “Take Five”.“The Cut Of The Knife” has been called “Elegant”, “Beautiful” and “A Wonder”!CLICK HERE FOR ALL LINKSCLICK HERE FOR THE OFFICIAL VIDEO ---------------------------------------------The Follow Your Dream Podcast:Top 1% of all podcasts with Listeners in 200 countries!Click here for All Episodes Click here for Guest List Click here for Guest Groupings Click here for Guest TestimonialsClick here to Subscribe Click here to receive our Email UpdatesClick here to Rate and Review the podcast—----------------------------------------ROBERT'S RECENT SINGLES:“DAY AT THE RACES” is Robert's single that captures the thrills, chills and pageantry of horse racing's Triple Crown.

In this episode of The Timeout, Dwyane Wade, Bob, and Chris Johnson break down Game 4’s turning point—when OKC stole back momentum with a gritty, physical fourth quarter. They get into the Uno reverse moment: OKC down five, then flipping it with smart coaching, SGA slipping traps, and Jaylen Williams getting downhill. Indiana had it—until missed free throws, fouls, and Siakam disappearing late. They spotlight OB Toppin’s growth, McConnell’s chaos, and why Carlisle’s schemes nearly stole the game. But SGA’s clutch burst and OKC’s defensive switch-ups sealed it. This Finals is chess, not checkers—and Game 4 just reset the board. Music Credit: Khari Mateen.

In this episode of The Timeout, Dwyane Wade, Bob, and Chris Johnson sit down with six-time All-Star DeMar DeRozan for a real conversation about longevity, consistency, and sticking to what works. Deebo shares why the mid-range still matters, how he studies the game to stay effective, and the discipline behind 17 seasons at the top—no alcohol, no shortcuts, just work. They also break down Game 2 of the Finals: how OKC made the right adjustments, from SGA attacking differently to Caruso’s defensive presence and the impact of playing two bigs. On the Pacers side, the guys talk what’s missing—why Siakam and Turner have to show up, and how Haliburton can lead without forcing. From old-school one-on-one battles to today’s overreliance on analytics, the episode covers how the game’s changing—and who’s built to last.

A Sauna Talk from the British Sauna Summit, Tuesday, 20 May 2025 Hilton London Canary Wharf. Last year, Sauna Summit 2024 and 1.0, about 120 of us gathered rooftop at in Hackney. The spirit was both well organized like a conference, and yet intimate like a family gathering. This year, as attendance swelled to well north of 300, the Hilton Hotel ballroom provided a backdrop and familiarity of a “proper” (to use the British word) organized meeting. This is the evolution of sauna. What started as a somewhat jest and jovial organisation, like the growth of many things sauna, the British Sauna Society has ballooned into a structured membership of several hundred, representing the “saunapreneurs” of public saunas that dot the map of the UK's shoreline, streams, and urban communities. Yours truly was given the honour of announcing the winners of the second annual Sauna Summit Awards, which showcases outstanding saunas (Best Urban, Best Community, Best New, etc.). All of the contest participants are winners. And though there's surely pride and competition behind the curtain, yet what is displayed in the UK sauna scene is more collaboration and support. The Brits seem to recognize that the rising sauna tide lifts all public sauna boats. London Calling I am reminded of my time living in London. It was decades ago, and I had the dream job of music listings editor at Time Out magazine, where i'd have one on one relationship with the music venues (Dingwalls, Brixton Academy, etc.) and what stood out was the pricing structure of concert tickets. General admission at the top, then the list of discounted tickets (senior, student, unemployed, single parent, counsel estate resident, library card holder, etc.). It's ingrained in British culture to proudly support those underserved. And sauna culture today shares that “community support” ethos. America may face headwinds in this regard, being more capitalistic centric, yet Britain waves the flag of “serving their community” as evidence by the hundreds of saunas dotting their shoreline and beyond. Anyhow, in this episode we get to hear one on one conversations with folks from Harvia, Jake Newport from Finnmark, kindred spirit author Lassi Liikkanen, key Summit organizer Mark Lamb, his wife and author Emma O'kelly, Sauna from Finland Carita, Rob De Bank, and other folks “behind the scenes” and “between the action.” Notes from presentations at the British Sauna Summit: Carita 1. Take as long as you like in sauna. Listen to your body. 2. Nudity is common in private saunas. Often ladies and men's sides. 3. Most Finn's prefer 70-80c and we make löyly. 4. Sauna is a safe and relaxing activity for all ages. Sauna at the lake helps make family memories. 5. Everyone sweats differently. More sweat doesn't mean better 6. Sauna stones wear out. Replace them regularly. She changes stones twice a year. 6. Clean the sauna – deep clean under the benches. Dry the sauna after every use. 8. Whisking is gentle and relaxing. Good for your skin and circulation. Every sauna has its own soul. Löyly is the main thing. Dr emelia Vuitisalmi “Sauna is the one single place where we truly feel safe and we can relax.” Finns don't count minutes or measure temperature. Sauna stimulates three hormones 1. Dopamine. Direction Motivation and reward.  Walk your true path. Sauna is the place to answer these questions 2. Serotonin. Safety Sauna is the place where we feel safe. 3. Oxytocin. Connection. Sauna is an amazing place to connect with ourself. What is behind our own thoughts. Deep healing power of sauna takes us to a state of love. Sweat. Let go. Belong. The deep power of sauna. — Rob Da Bank Slo Mo Drew parallels of organizing festivals to the sauna space in UK. Dom Bridges Running his sauna for 12 years on the beach in Margate. Free. Significant part of the town. More like a skatepark, its own ecosystem. No one owns it, a spirit of togetherness. Sara Higgins Seaside Sauna Haus Dorset. “It's about connection with yourself, and it's also about connection with who you share the bench with. “ “Focus on your thing and shout about others. “ Wild Scottish Sauna Jayne McGie & Jamie Craig-Gentles Met each other in the water. Started as a swim group. “We go into the sea to release. “ They run 5 saunas and are very active in their community. 1,000 people. 5 pounds each. Brought communities together. Staffing is also part of the community. 18 sauna hosts. Work for one day a week. Extra money for them as a second job. Zack Avery &Soul Community. The heart of the project is to give people a space to belong. Share spaces together. West London  Dundbar theory. Societies thrive in communities of about 100-150 people. Egalitarian space. Not wearing their title. Shared humanity in sauna.  Heart of the community space. The sauna is the center of the community space. Need for nurturing spaces. A thirst for better ways of being in the city. Dr Martha : an expert in ritual and belonging. Move our way from the normal to the secret. Physically taken away from the normal… liminality. Neither here nor there. Sauna creates an intense lininal space. Research with extreme groups. Extreme experience bond us together. Expert in ritual and belonging. —- The holy trinity : fire, ice, and löyly Lasse spoke about the three methods of heat transfer plus condensation (moisture forming on the body). If you follow the “Instagram sauna” and replicate it, you may run into problems that you cannot even power up the heater.” Daryl Bosomworth Brass Monkey Spoke about ice. And the cold. The important factors of why and how to bring cold as a best practice for saunas. Cold : “you are micro dosing with a potent stressor. “ Alex Lembke, Finnish Sauna Master of the year. Aufguss means pouring hot water on a tea bag. Technical aspects of löyly. Self Nature – spirit protecting the human. Löyly – your life force. The functions of your body. Your life form.  Life force of every being. “If a sauna has no löyly , it doesn't live. It doesn't breathe. “ You should experience good löyly. Odorless. Long lasting. Pour löyly. Lasts a long time. “Everyone deserves good löyly. “ —- Nick Cassenbaum: Jewish schmeisting culture. Bubble Schmeises. Rosanna Cooney At one time, there's were 75 Turkish style baths in Ireland.
