Hij groeide op in een vleesgrossistenfamilie van de derde generatie, een harde mannenwereld waarin emoties er niet toe deden. Hij voelde dertig jaar lang nauwelijks iets. Tot hij besefte dat hij zijn kinderen iets aan het doorgeven was wat hij zelf nooit had gekregen.In deze aflevering van The Essence Unfolded deelt hij openhartig hoe hij via beide retreats bij Brain Balance zijn gevoelssysteem heropende. Over de vader die hij wilde zijn voor zijn drie kinderen. Over de ondernemer die hij werd nadat hij zichzelf leerde kennen. En over waarom hij dit werk niet alleen voor zichzelf deed, maar voor alle generaties na hem.Wat je hoort in dit gesprek: hoe een kind zijn gevoelens afzet om te overleven en wat dat dertig jaar later doet, wat er verandert als je als man leert kwetsbaar te zijn, hoe zijn kinderen veranderden op het moment dat hij voor zichzelf koos, hoe persoonlijke groei zijn bedrijf en zijn manier van ondernemen veranderde, en wat hij alle mannen mee wil geven over investeren in jezelf.Dit is een gesprek voor iedereen die hard werkt aan zijn bedrijf, maar eigenlijk wat harder mag werken aan zichzelf.

The event that sparked the racist riots in Belfast on Tuesday evening happened on Monday night in the north of the city. A Sudanese man, named in court as Hadi Alodid, is alleged to have brutally assaulted Stephen Ogilvie in a street knife attack that was filmed by a bystander. Ogilvie lost an eye and is in hospital with other serious injuries. The 30-year-old Alodid has now been charged with knife crimes and attempted murder and is remanded in custody for four weeks. So how extensive was the damage in the city? What role did anti-immigrant agitators, including from outside Ireland, play in the riots? What has been the official response? And is the city set for more nights of rioting? Irish Times audio producer Andrew McNair lives in Belfast and saw first-hand the damage caused by the rioters. Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Suzanne Brennan, with research by Ellen Clusker. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Guusje Gulikers was 28 toen ze knapte. Burn-out, hoogsensitiviteit, dyslexie, faalangst, een leven lang gevochten vanuit wilskracht. Voor de wereld deed ze het geweldig. Van binnen was ze zichzelf al jaren kwijt.In deze aflevering van The Essence Unfolded vertelt ze over de lange weg terug naar zichzelf. Over hoe positief denken haar niet hielp, maar het herprogrammeren van haar onderbewustzijn wel. Over een lekkende darm die jarenlang onopgemerkt bleef. Over een donkere zwangerschap die pas oploste op het moment dat haar zoontje werd geboren. En over het moment dat ze begreep dat ze generationeel trauma mocht helen, voor zichzelf én voor de generaties na haar.Wat je hoort in dit gesprek: waarom vechters juist zo vatbaar zijn voor burn-out, hoe je onderbewustzijn je leven aanstuurt zonder dat je het doorhebt, waarom positief denken de wortels van je systeem niet verandert, hoe een lekkende darm haar herstel jarenlang blokkeerde, en wat het betekent om generationeel trauma te doorvoelen en los te laten.Dit is een gesprek voor iedereen die alles al begrijpt, maar het nog niet voelt.Voel jij ook dat er meer in je zit?

The CBSE has been facing flak for its re-evaluation process for Class 12 Board exams this year. Parents and students have complained of a dysfunctional website, blurred answer sheets, and missing pages. At the heart of the controversy is the newly introduced On-Screen Marking (OSM), with thousands of complaints of unfair evaluation and faulty marking. The education minister has announced that the CBSE will engage IIT experts to address the technical challenges. But are technical glitches the only problem? We get to the bottom of the controversy in this episode, and joining us today are two special guests – a CBSE evaluator, and a parent.  Guests: Kavita Sharma (name changed), is a teacher in a government CBSE school who worked as an evaluator this year using On-Screen marking. On Kavita's request, to protect her identity, we have not used her real name or her video in this episode.  Mohit Tomar, parent of a Class 12 student, has spent much of last week trying to get his son's exam papers re-evaluated.

On September 2, 31 BC, the Battle of Actium unfolded as a desperate breakout attempt by Antony and Cleopatra to save their treasury. They waited for the afternoon winds to turn so they could unfurl their sails—an unusual tactic for warships in battle. During the engagement, Cleopatra's squadron, distinguished by purple sails, broke through a gap in the Roman line. In a move that devastated his military honor, Antony abandoned his fleet and army to follow her. Straussnotes that while Antony's sailors continued to fight bravely, Octavian's forces eventually used fire arrows to destroy the remaining galleys. This abandonment of his men was a "major no-no" that permanently scarred Antony's reputation as a Roman leader. Despite the betrayal, the lovers successfully escaped with the Egyptian gold, though Octavian remained the undisputed victor on the sea, effectively ending the military resistance of the Second Triumvirate.

Send a textStrategy isn't just about plans and execution. In this episode, we explore a deeper framework for executive leadership — one rooted in presence, growth, and resources.In high-pressure environments filled with distraction and complexity, leaders are often pulled in multiple directions. Instead of reacting faster, what if executive strategy began with slowing down long enough to see clearly?We discuss:Why presence is the foundation of executive leadershipHow distraction impacts decision-making and team cultureThe difference between performance improvement and true leadership growthWhy awareness, compassion, and curiosity are essential for executive formationHow to redefine “resources” beyond money, time, and headcountMoving from a scarcity mindset to recognizing abundanceWhat it means for a leader to become a resource for others“Leadership begins with presence, the ability to see clearly where we are and what is real.”“There is an abundance of resources to solve our problems and ways to pursue our challenges.”This conversation offers practical insight for executive leaders navigating pressure, change, and organizational complexity — and invites you to rethink strategy from the inside out.ReflectionWhich area needs your attention right now: Presence?

Airwaves Unfolded is a piece based on a radio recording produced in the 1960s in Tarija, southern Bolivia, by Radio Universidad de Tarija. The program introduces Indigenous instruments and discusses how they have been intertwined with labour, daily life, and ritual, as well as how new instruments and musical forms developed after Spanish influence.What drew me to this recording were the instruments' unstable yet resonant tones alongside the narrator's voice. The voice carries a sense of responsibility, warmth, and quiet pride, reflecting an intention to preserve cultural knowledge and pass it on to future generations. Although the broadcast was created for its own present moment, it now reaches us as a fragment of cultural memory. I approached the recording not as a fixed historical document, but as material whose meaning can continue to shift over time.In the process of making the piece, I extracted short fragments of narration and placed them alongside the instrumental sounds to explore new relationships between them. Heavy processing was avoided, with an emphasis on preserving the instruments' resonance, pitch fluctuations, and texture as they appear in the original recording.The piano serves as a primary, foregrounded presence throughout the piece, while its recording captures the room's resonance and ambient qualities as a field-recorded sound. The piano is played using scales and harmonies chosen to closely complement the original sounds, acting as a quiet foundation for the piece. The original radio programme fragments are placed within this piano texture, allowing the voices of the past and the present performance to intertwine gently.During the production process, I also researched the instruments featured in the programme and their historical and social contexts. While engaging with a field recording from a culture different from my own, I continued to reflect on what I am actually hearing and what I may be imagining. Airwaves Unfolded takes shape as a space in which voices from the past gently touch the present.Bolivian radio programme on folk music reimagined by Masako Yokouchi (Sonotant).———Part of the project A Century of Sounds, reimagining 100 sounds covering 100 years from the collections of the Pitt Rivers Museum at the University of Oxford.

Historic scenes in Sandringham, as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor is arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Our royal experts talk through what we know, and what this means for the royal family.Plain-clothed police officers were seen arriving at the royal property, before Thames Valley Police confirmed the news of an arrest.Shortly afterwards, King Charles III released an unprecedented statement expressing his 'deepest concern' over the news of his brother's arrest. The monarch added that “nobody is above the law”.

Enough detail has been released that we can plot out how the two trains derailed with reasonable confidence - and that's what we'll do, using photos and video from the scene. Rob and Jamie from Podcasting Is Praxis drop in to explore the aftermath of the crash, and how knowing what the derailment looked like doesn't really answer any of the questions over its cause.

What happens when someone hits absolute rock bottom… and then God interrupts the story?Pastor and spiritual coach Brian Hall joins Billy Hallowell and Jen Lilley to share an unbelievable testimony: addiction, bankruptcy, cancer, overdose, a heart attack — and the night he says he snorted 21 lines of cocaine, cried out to God, and instantly sobered up in a moment he calls his first miracle.From there, the journey only gets wilder: Brian says he went from brand-new believer to ministry almost overnight, later leading a major nonprofit and church… until a dream from God told him to walk away. After resisting, he describes a series of jaw-dropping wake-up calls.Today, Brian says God has him ministering to high-profile leaders, celebrities, athletes, and powerful decision-makers — and he opens up about what he's witnessed behind the scenes: despair, spiritual warfare, and the hunger for something real.This episode is raw, intense, hope-filled — and a reminder that Jesus still changes lives.** Your front-row seat to the #miraculous and mysterious continues in our newsletter.

THE COUP ATTEMPT AND SURRENDER Colleague Evan Thomas. As the US prepared a third atomic bomb to drop on Tokyo, a military coup unfolded in the Japanese palace to prevent the surrender. Young officers attempted to seize the recording of the Emperor's surrender speech, but the coup was suppressed, and War Minister Anami committed suicide by seppuku. When the Emperor's broadcast finally aired, the depth of the Japanese "national psychosis" was revealed; even radiation victims in Hiroshima wept in despair, not because the war was over, but because their nation had surrendered.

As we record this on Sunday night, 11 people have been confirmed dead in a mass shooting at Bondi Beach in Sydney, with the New South Wales Police Commissioner declaring it a terrorist incident. One shooter was also killed and multiple people were injured at Bondi, where hundreds of people were gathered to mark the first night of Hanukkah, the most joyous holiday on the Jewish calendar. Among the injured is a survivor of the October 7 attack in Israel, who said he moved to Australia only two weeks ago to work with the Jewish community to fight antisemitism.
