Podcasts about Verbier

Episode 132. Joining us from Verbier, Switzerland is investment banker and venture capitalist, Kelly Barbey. As a young man he fell under the spell of an an Italian contactee who claimed an alien encounter on the slopes of Mount Etna, Sicily. This led him to try to figure what these alien encounters actually are. Recently, there is a lot of high-level government disclosure confirming contact with UFOs, UAPs and Non-Human Intelligence (NHI). Kelly believes these "aliens" have always been with us here on Earth. This one goes deep! Enjoy...Dive deeper into this subject with Kelly's YouTube video on Colonel Nell's controlled disclosure of NHI Intent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSvzIsiIr1MKelly also provided the seed capital to fund the recently released Bonhoeffer movie about moral courage; a moral development he sees correlated with what non-human intelligence interactions seek for our species. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKBQrWWX570Follow Mister Kindness:Twitter/X https://twitter.com/MisterKindnessInstagram https://www.instagram.com/misterkindness_podYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@misterkindnessFacebook https://www.facebook.com/njohn.kindness.9on #UAP #UFO #Alienintent #KarlNell #KellyBarbeySALT #Controlleddisclosure #JacobsLadder #Scripture #Bible #Angels #NonHumanIntelligence #NHI #MoralClairvoyance #Remoteviewing #misterkindnesspodcast #consciousness #prophetic #parables #emotionalintelligence #insight #accurateempathy #operationvalkyrie

Jan returns to the podcast after what we both reckon is probably around 12 years. He remains, as I dimly recall from a sunny day in Verbier, candid, down to earth, and completely and utterly absorbed by his craft. But what's evident now — and what I definitely don't remember sensing then — is his resolute vision: a clear sense of what he wants to do, and how he wants to do it. It's reflected not only in his achievements, but also in the relative ease with which he articulates that vision. There's a precision in what he says, and a solid sense of trust in what he does.

This is the FULL event RECAP for the sixth and final event of the 2025 Freeride World Tour season; The 30th anniversary of the YETI Xtreme Verbier by Honda. We saw some spectacular performances as well as some heartbreaking moments on the way to crowning 3 new World Champions as well as 4 first time winners in Verbier. The Legendary Bec des Rosses presented an extra challenge in the way of a very thin and dangerous snowpack which is something the athletes have been familiar with this year. It wasn't safe to drop in from the top this year so the riders had to choose from 3 separate start gates on the Bec and Petit Bec. 00:00 - Intro / Surefoot 13:23 - SNOWBOARD MEN 24:45 - SKI MEN  47:54 - SKI WOMEN 1:03:17 - BACKSLAP | Fan Emails ** 1:14:00 - SNOWBOARD WOMEN  Watch This Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/YJ_Bw-_DZso ** Lily Bradley LPP Interview -  https://open.spotify.com/episode/1lDG1CFKsJLTI7zPQolfmk?si=404499794e3e4296 ---- WE HAVE MERCH!!

The Ski Podcast is a UK-based podcast hosted by Iain Martin.With different guests every episode, we cover all aspects of skiing and snowboarding from resorts to racing, Ski Sunday to slush.In 2021, we were voted ‘Best Wintersports Podcast‘ in the Sports Podcast Awards. In 2023, we were shortlisted as ‘Best Broadcast Programme' in the Travel Media Awards.Why I interviewed himWe did a swap. Iain hosted me on his show in January (I also hosted Iain in January, but since The Storm sometimes moves at the pace of mammal gestation, here we are at the end of March; Martin published our episode the day after we recorded it).But that's OK (according to me), because our conversation is evergreen. Martin is embedded in EuroSki the same way that I cycle around U.S. AmeriSki. That we wander from similarly improbable non-ski outposts – Brighton, England and NYC – is a funny coincidence. But what interested me most about a potential podcast conversation is the Encyclopedia EuroSkiTannica stored in Martin's brain.I don't understand skiing in Europe. It is too big, too rambling, too interconnected, too above-treeline, too transit-oriented, too affordable, too absent the Brobot ‘tude that poisons so much of the American ski experience. The fact that some French idiot is facing potential jail time for launching a snowball into a random grandfather's skull (filming the act and posting it on TikTok, of course) only underscores my point: in America, we would cancel the grandfather for not respecting the struggle so obvious in the boy's act of disobedience. In a weird twist for a ski writer, I am much more familiar with summer Europe than winter Europe. I've skied the continent a couple of times, but warm-weather cross-continental EuroTreks by train and by car have occupied months of my life. When I try to understand EuroSki, my brain short-circuits. I tease the Euros because each European ski area seems to contain between two and 27 distinct ski areas, because the trail markings are the wrong color, because they speak in the strange code of the “km” and “cm” - but I'm really making fun of myself for Not Getting It. Martin gets it. And he good-naturedly walks me through a series of questions that follow this same basic pattern: “In America, we charge $109 for a hamburger that tastes like it's been pulled out of a shipping container that went overboard in 1944. But I hear you have good and cheap food in Europe – true?” I don't mind sounding like a d*****s if the result is good information for all of us, and thankfully I achieved both of those things on this podcast.What we talked aboutThe European winter so far; how a UK-based skier moves back and forth to the Alps; easy car-free travel from the U.S. directly to Alps ski areas; is ski traffic a thing in Europe?; EuroSki 101; what does “ski area” mean in Europe; Euro snow pockets; climate change realities versus media narratives in Europe; what to make of ski areas closing around the Alps; snowmaking in Europe; comparing the Euro stereotype of the leisurely skier to reality; an aging skier population; Euro liftline queuing etiquette and how it mirrors a nation's driving culture; “the idea that you wouldn't bring the bar down is completely alien to me; I mean everybody brings the bar down on the chairlift”; why an Epic or Ikon Pass may not be your best option to ski in Europe; why lift ticket prices are so much cheaper in Europe than in the U.S.; Most consumers “are not even aware” that Vail has started purchasing Swiss resorts; ownership structure at Euro resorts; Vail to buy Verbier?; multimountain pass options in Europe; are Euros buying Epic and Ikon to ski locally or to travel to North America?; must-ski European ski areas; Euro ski-guide culture; and quirky ski areas.What I got wrongWe discussed Epic Pass' lodging requirement for Verbier, which is in effect for this winter, but which Vail removed for the 2025-26 ski season.Why now was a good time for this interviewI present to you, again, the EuroSki Chart – a list of all 26 European ski areas that have aligned themselves with a U.S.-based multi-mountain pass:The large majority of these have joined Ski NATO (a joke, not a political take Brah), in the past five years. And while purchasing a U.S. megapass is not necessary to access EuroHills in the same way it is to ski the Rockies – doing so may, in fact, be counterproductive – just the notion of having access to these Connecticut-sized ski areas via a pass that you're buying anyway is enough to get people considering a flight east for their turns.And you know what? They should. At this point, a mass abandonment of the Mountain West by the tourists that sustain it is the only thing that may drive the region to seriously reconsider the robbery-by-you-showed-up-here-all-stupid lift ticket prices, car-centric transit infrastructure, and sclerotic building policies that are making American mountain towns impossibly expensive and inconvenient to live in or to visit. In many cases, a EuroSkiTrip costs far less than an AmeriSki trip - especially if you're not the sort to buy a ski pass in March 2025 so that you can ski in February 2026. And though the flights will generally cost more, the logistics of airport-to-ski-resort-and-back generally make more sense. In Europe they have trains. In Europe those trains stop in villages where you can walk to your hotel and then walk to the lifts the next morning. In Europe you can walk up to the ticket window and trade a block of cheese for a lift ticket. In Europe they put the bar down. In Europe a sandwich, brownie, and a Coke doesn't cost $152. And while you can spend $152 on a EuroLunch, it probably means that you drank seven liters of wine and will need a sled evac to the village.“Oh so why don't you just go live there then if it's so perfect?”Shut up, Reductive Argument Bro. Everyplace is great and also sucks in its own special way. I'm just throwing around contrasts.There are plenty of things I don't like about EuroSki: the emphasis on pistes, the emphasis on trams, the often curt and indifferent employees, the “injury insurance” that would require a special session of the European Union to pay out a claim. And the lack of trees. Especially the lack of trees. But more families are opting for a week in Europe over the $25,000 Experience of a Lifetime in the American West, and I totally understand why.A quote often attributed to Winston Churchill reads, “You can always trust the Americans to do the right thing, after they have exhausted all the alternatives.” Unfortunately, it appears to be apocryphal. But I wish it wasn't. Because it's true. And I do think we'll eventually figure out that there is a continent-wide case study in how to retrofit our mountain towns for a more cost- and transit-accessible version of lift-served skiing. But it's gonna take a while.Podcast NotesOn U.S. ski areas opening this winter that haven't done so “in a long time”A strong snow year has allowed at least 11 U.S. ski areas to open after missing one or several winters, including:* Cloudmont, Alabama (yes I'm serious)* Pinnacle, Maine* Covington and Sault Seal, ropetows outfit in Michigan's Upper Peninsula* Norway Mountain, Michigan – resurrected by new owner after multi-year closure* Tower Mountain, a ropetow bump in Michigan's Lower Peninsula* Bear Paw, Montana* Hatley Pointe, North Carolina opened under new ownership, who took last year off to gut-renovate the hill* Warner Canyon, Oregon, an all-natural-snow, volunteer-run outfit, opened in December after a poor 2023-24 snow year.* Bellows Falls ski tow, a molehill run by the Rockingham Recreation in Vermont, opened for the first time in five years after a series of snowy weeks across New England* Lyndon Outing Club, another volunteer-run ropetow operation in Vermont, sat out last winter with low snow but opened this yearOn the “subway map” of transit-accessible Euro skiingI mean this is just incredible:The map lives on Martin's Ski Flight Free site, which encourages skiers to reduce their carbon footprints. I am not good at doing this, largely because such a notion is a fantasy in America as presently constructed.But just imagine a similar system in America. The nation is huge, of course, and we're not building a functional transcontinental passenger railroad overnight (or maybe ever). But there are several areas of regional density where such networks could, at a minimum, connect airports or city centers with destination ski areas, including:* Reno Airport (from the east), and the San Francisco Bay area (to the west) to the ring of more than a dozen Tahoe resorts (or at least stops at lake- or interstate-adjacent Sugar Bowl, Palisades, Homewood, Northstar, Mt. Rose, Diamond Peak, and Heavenly)* Denver Union Station and Denver airport to Loveland, Keystone, Breck, Copper, Vail, Beaver Creek, and - a stretch - Aspen and Steamboat, with bus connections to A-Basin, Ski Cooper, and Sunlight* SLC airport east to Snowbird, Alta, Solitude, Brighton, Park City, and Deer Valley, and north to Snowbasin and Powder Mountain* Penn Station in Manhattan up along Vermont's Green Mountain Spine: Mount Snow, Stratton, Bromley, Killington, Pico, Sugarbush, Mad River Glen, Bolton Valley, Stowe, Smugglers' Notch, Jay Peak, with bus connections to Magic and Middlebury Snowbowl* Boston up the I-93 corridor: Tenney, Waterville Valley, Loon, Cannon, and Bretton Woods, with a spur to Conway and Cranmore, Attitash, Wildcat, and Sunday River; bus connections to Black New Hampshire, Sunapee, Gunstock, Ragged, and Mount AbramYes, there's the train from Denver to Winter Park (and ambitions to extend the line to Steamboat), which is terrific, but placing that itsy-bitsy spur next to the EuroSystem and saying “look at our neato train” is like a toddler flexing his toy jet to the pilots as he boards a 757. And they smile and say, “Whoa there, Shooter! Now have a seat while we burn off 4,000 gallons of jet fuel accelerating this f****r to 500 miles per hour.”On the number of ski areas in EuropeI've detailed how difficult it is to itemize the 500-ish active ski areas in America, but the task is nearly incomprehensible in Europe, which has as many as eight times the number of ski areas. Here are a few estimates:* Skiresort.info counts 3,949 ski areas (as of today; the number changes daily) in Europe: list | map* Wikipedia doesn't provide a number, but it does have a very long list* Statista counts a bit more than 2,200, but their list excludes most of Eastern EuropeOn Euro non-ski media and climate change catastropheOf these countless European ski areas, a few shutter or threaten to each year. The resulting media cycle is predictable and dumb. In The Snow concisely summarizes how this pattern unfolds by analyzing coverage of the recent near loss of L'Alpe du Grand Serre, France (emphasis mine):A ski resort that few people outside its local vicinity had ever heard of was the latest to make headlines around the world a month ago as it announced it was going to cease ski operations.‘French ski resort in Alps shuts due to shortage of snow' reported The Independent, ‘Another European ski resort is closing due to lack of snow' said Time Out, The Mirror went for ”Devastation” as another European ski resort closes due to vanishing snow‘ whilst The Guardian did a deeper dive with, ‘Fears for future of ski tourism as resorts adapt to thawing snow season.' The story also appeared in dozens more publications around the world.The only problem is that the ski area in question, L'Alpe du Grand Serre, has decided it isn't closing its ski area after all, at least not this winter.Instead, after the news of the closure threat was publicised, the French government announced financial support, as did the local municipality of La Morte, and a number of major players in the ski industry. In addition, a public crowdfunding campaign raised almost €200,000, prompting the officials who made the original closure decision to reconsider. Things will now be reassessed in a year's time.There has not been the same global media coverage of the news that L'Alpe du Grand Serre isn't closing after all.It's not the first resort where money has been found to keep slopes open after widespread publicity of a closure threat. La Chapelle d'Abondance was apparently on the rocks in 2020 but will be fully open this winter and similarly Austria's Heiligenblut which was said to be at risk of permanently closure in the summer will be open as normal.Of course, ski areas do permanently close, just like any business, and climate change is making the multiple challenges that smaller, lower ski areas face, even more difficult. But in the near-term bigger problems are often things like justifying spends on essential equipment upgrades, rapidly increasing power costs and changing consumer habits that are the bigger problems right now. The latter apparently exacerbated by media stories implying that ski holidays are under severe threat by climate change.These increasingly frequent stories always have the same structure of focusing on one small ski area that's in trouble, taken from the many thousands in the Alps that few regular skiers have heard of. The stories imply (by ensuring that no context is provided), that this is a major resort and typical of many others. Last year some reports implied, again by avoiding giving any context, that a ski area in trouble that is actually close to Rome, was in the Alps.This is, of course, not to pretend that climate change does not pose an existential threat to ski holidays, but just to say that ski resorts have been closing for many decades for multiple reasons and that most of these reports do not give all the facts or paint the full picture.On no cars in ZermattIf the Little Cottonwood activists really cared about the environment in their precious canyon, they wouldn't be advocating for alternate rubber-wheeled transit up to Alta and Snowbird – they'd be demanding that the road be closed and replaced by a train or gondola or both, and that the ski resorts become a pedestrian-only enclave dotted with only as many electric vehicles as it took to manage the essential business of the towns and the ski resorts.If this sounds improbable, just look to Zermatt, which has banned gas cars for decades. Skiers arrive by train. Nearly 6,000 people live there year-round. It is amazing what humans can build when the car is considered as an accessory to life, rather than its central organizing principle.On driving in EuropeDriving in Europe is… something else. I've driven in, let's see: Iceland, Portugal, Spain, France, Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, and Montenegro. That last one is the scariest but they're all a little scary. Drivers' speeds seem to be limited by nothing other than physics, passing on blind curves is common even on mountain switchbacks, roads outside of major arterials often collapse into one lane, and Euros for some reason don't believe in placing signs at intersections to indicate street names. Thank God for GPS. I'll admit that it's all a little thrilling once the disorientation wears off, and there are things to love about driving in Europe: roundabouts are used in place of traffic lights wherever possible, the density of cars tends to be less (likely due to the high cost of gas and plentiful mass transit options), sprawl tends to be more contained, the limited-access highways are extremely well-kept, and the drivers on those limited-access highways actually understand what the lanes are for (slow, right; fast, left).It may seem contradictory that I am at once a transit advocate and an enthusiastic road-tripper. But I've lived in New York City, home of the United States' best mass-transit system, for 23 years, and have owned a car for 19 of them. There is a logic here: in general, I use the subway or my bicycle to move around the city, and the car to get out of it (this is the only way to get to most ski areas in the region, at least midweek). I appreciate the options, and I wish more parts of America offered a better mix.On chairs without barsIt's a strange anachronism that the United States is still home to hundreds of chairlifts that lack safety bars. ANSI standards now require them on new lift builds (as far as I can tell), but many chairlifts built without bars from the 1990s and earlier appear to have been grandfathered into our contemporary system. This is not the case in the Eastern U.S. where, as far as I'm aware, every chairlift with the exception of a handful in Pennsylvania have safety bars – New York and many New England states require them by law (and require riders to use them). Things get dicey in the Midwest, which has, as a region, been far slower to upgrade its lift fleets than bigger mountains in the East and West. Many ski areas, however, have retrofit their old lifts with bars – I was surprised to find them on the lifts at Sundown, Iowa; Chestnut, Illinois; and Mont du Lac, Wisconsin, for example. Vail and Alterra appear to retrofit all chairlifts with safety bars once they purchase a ski area. But many ski areas across the Mountain West still spin old chairs, including, surprisingly, dozens of mountains in California, Oregon, and Washington, states that tends to have more East Coast-ish outlooks on safety and regulation.On Compagnie des AlpesAccording to Martin, the closest thing Europe has to a Vail- or Alterra-style conglomerate is Compagnie des Alpes, which operates (but does not appear to own) 10 ski areas in the French Alps, and holds ownership stakes in five more. It's kind of an amazing list:Here's the company's acquisition timeline, which includes the ski areas, along with a bunch of amusement parks and hotels:Clearly the path of least resistance to a EuroVail conflagration would be to shovel this pile of coal into the furnace. Martin referenced Tignes' forthcoming exit from the group, to join forces with ski resort Sainte-Foy on June 1, 2026 – teasing a smaller potential EuroVail acquisition. Tignes, however, would not be the first resort to exit CdA's umbrella – Les 2 Alpes left in 2020.On EuroSkiPassesThe EuroMegaPass market is, like EuroSkiing itself, unintelligible to Americans (at least to this American). There are, however, options. Martin offers the Swiss-centric Magic Pass as perhaps the most prominent. It offers access to 92 ski areas (map). You are probably expecting me to make a chart. I will not be making a chart.S**t I need to publish this article before I cave to my irrepressible urge to make a chart.OK this podcast is already 51 days old do not make a chart you moron.I think we're good here.I hope.I will also not be making a chart to track the 12 ski resorts accessible on Austria's Ski Plus City Pass Stubai Innsbruck Unlimited Freedom Pass.The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

Le blocage politique à Bruxelles semble enfin proche d'un dénouement, mais tout repose désormais sur Frédéric De Gucht, leader du VLD bruxellois. D'abord porté par une majorité flamande favorable à la N-VA, il se retrouve aujourd'hui isolé, alors que Groen, Vooruit et le CD&V acceptent une coalition sans ce parti. Côté francophone, Les Engagés et le MR sont prêts à avancer sans la N-VA, bien que les libéraux francophones y soient favorables. De Gucht pourrait maintenir son opposition pour renforcer son image en Flandre ou négocier des concessions en faveur de Bruxelles. Un accord autour du mayorat de Schaerbeek pourrait accélérer le processus et faire pression sur lui. Pendant ce temps, il profite des pistes de ski à Verbier, loin des tensions bruxelloises. Son retour sera décisif : maintiendra-t-il le blocage ou acceptera-t-il un compromis ? Aucun parti n'obtient entièrement ce qu'il voulait, mais la nécessité d'un gouvernement semble peser plus lourd.

Filippo Solaro ha lavorato nel Freeride World Tour e vissuto a Verbier. E' passato dall'avere in camera i poster di atleti come Alex Honnold, Sam Anthamatten e Xavier De le Rue, di cui peraltro è stato più volte ospite a cena, a lavorare insieme a loro. Lo scorso anno in Brasile ha fatto un volo di 250km in parapendio; pratica sci alpinismo e hike and fly, arrampica, corre e va in bici.Filippo è stato fondamentale nella mia transizione da Nike a Hoka, supportandomi nelle negoziazioni e affiancandomi in ogni meeting, call ed email. Mi ha dato sicurezza nei momenti più delicati, aiutandomi ad avere pazienza e offrendo sempre una chiave di lettura anche nelle situazioni più complesse.La sua esperienza è particolarmente interessante perché ha lavorato sia dal lato brand che da quello degli atleti. Per sei anni ha lavorato nello sports marketing come athlete manager per The North Face, seguendo il team di trail, freeride, snowboard, arrampicata e alpinismo. Successivamente ha scelto di lasciare questo ruolo per intraprendere un percorso autonomo, diventando un agente per gli atleti. Per questo, da quando l'ho conosciuto, ho sempre voluto averlo come ospite di questo podcast.In questo episodio cercheremo di dare una prospettiva informata sul delicato equilibrio tra atleti e brand, sulla professionalizzazione della figura dell'atleta elite, su contratti, media, content creation, attività agonistica e molto altro.Links:Filippo IGWebsiteSharing on social media is very much appreciated :)___________________________________Francesco's links: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Strava⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Gary Bigham is the most eccentric filmmaker this side of Greg Stump.  You haven't heard about him because when he turned 18, he moved to Europe and became part of the fabric of European Freestyle culture, then he started making films with Europe and the world's best. When the risk of filmmaking became worth more than the reward, Gary did what he does best, entertain. And, between his Vitamin Ski Chalet and playing music in the bars of Chamonix, Gary will always be the center of attention somewhere and the world is better for it. On the podcast, we talk about the draft, being part of 5 different national freestyle teams, Team Clambin, and so much more.

Not only is the scenery breathtakingly beautiful, but you will be gripping your seat when you see some of the insane faces that Xavier and Victor take on.  The trip was also a rite of passage for Xavier's daughter Mila, who turned 18 while they were in Antarctica.

Whist I was manically refreshing my Crypto Fidelity page while smoking a joint praying for better spreads and a painless brazilian wax, it occurred to me that this new cycle will hit different. Alas I wager we will see less of the pitiful tech bros peddling nonsensical seasons of DeFi summers and meaningless phrases like interoperable metaverse masking their low confidence in newfound stoicism and Marcus Aurelius Bullshit- but of what is to come remains remarkably unknown. Deep in the confines of my own imagination, I still wonder, is it cool to Love Trump if my Bitcoin earnings finance my donation to a do nothing liberal organization. Alas, with prices higher than losers at Burning man I still remain on my somewhat asbergers yet violent quest armed with my baccarat bedazzled magnifying glass to discover if people are actually using this shit. I see everyone with a networth that can finance a qui qong instructor and a ski chalet in Verbier purchase crypto at Fidelity. Why? Because ultimately, my banker is my best friend. Show me a rich person lending on Aave save for Stani and I will show you an Alvin Ailey Dancer who voted for Trump. Ce n'est pas possible. I digress; My guest is the ever so fabulous hot crypto power mom fellow podcast host Fund Partner Keli Callaghan. I met Keli deep in the trenches of Covid in a Cafeteria somewhere in Gstaad. She educated me on the deep misrepresentations of both masks and Algorand, wildly misunderstood concepts that played a crucial role in the health of our society and their impacts will be studied for years to come. Despite her no longer being at Algorand, Keli drove its marketcap to astronomical proportions resulting in Keli's undeniable fame. She has over 20K X followers leading her to require a security team at Glitter Ledger Headquarters.Keli currently serves as the Partner and Chic Growth Officer of Arrington Capital alongside Michael Arrington. She is so much more than your typical soulless one dimensional crypto VC with no meaningful thoughts or insights. Keli has a long history of marketing and storytelling for brands in the traditional world of actually working. She also studies how to manipulate people and how to find psychopaths amongst us in a course that one must be specially recommended for. Her insights on leadership, luck, and career development are insightful without being trite or pathetic. She is smart, hilarious and could have hosted this show herself.

Im Skiort Verbier hat die Walliser Kantonspolizei diese Woche 15 mutmassliche Drogendealer entlarvt. Sie sollen ihre Geschäfte vor allem mit Touristinnen und Touristen gemacht haben. Was passiert eigentlich in diesen Chalets des Nobel-Skiorts - und wie reagiert man bei der Polizei darauf? Die weiteren Themen: * Der Streit zwischen der Betreiberin der Maggiakraftwerke Ofima und dem Kanton Tessin geht in die nächste Runde: Die neuste Retourkutsche könnte sogar einen Präzedenzfall im Denkmalschutz schaffen. * IKRK-Museum vor dem Aus? Der Bund will dem Kanton Genf Gelder streichen. Nicht nur das Museum des Roten Kreuzes soll es treffen, auch die diplomatische Polizei.

Doug interviews Gretchen Lennon, founder of Lennon Legal, a boutique law firm specialising in startups and early-stage companies in everything from funding rounds and employee share options, to commercial contracts and data protection and plenty in between. What starts as a discussion about legal entrepreneurship transforms into a fascinating exploration of work-life balance, goal setting, and the courage to take calculated risks. From trading corporate law life in London for skiing in Verbier to building a successful remote legal consultancy, Gretchen's experiences give inspiration to anyone considering a major career change or struggling with entrepreneurial challenges. The conversation also takes an unexpected therapeutic turn as Doug helps Gretchen confront her work-life balance struggles. KEY TAKEAWAYS ·       After leaving her corporate law career in London, Gretchen discovered that running her own business led to working longer hours, not achieving the freedom she initially sought ·       A chance encounter with a client while working as a chalet manager in Verbier opened her eyes to the possibility of becoming a consultant lawyer ·       Starting with one short-term contract, Gretchen gradually built Lennon Legal into a team of 10 lawyers, proving you don't need a grand plan to build a successful business ·       Despite living in a famous ski resort, Gretchen found herself prioritising work over her personal life, highlighting how entrepreneurs can lose sight of why they chose independence ·       Her perspective on success evolved from wanting to build a large, financially successful law firm to creating a business that fits her desired lifestyle ·       Working with a business coach helped Gretchen recognise the importance of scheduling personal time first, as it won't happen naturally ·       Rather than staying paralysed by fear, Gretchen used Tim Ferriss's approach of thoroughly analysing worst case scenarios to take the leap into entrepreneurship ·       Through growing her business, Gretchen learned that delegation and building a team of specialists was more effective than trying to handle everything herself BEST MOMENTS "I really thought I was some sort of Ally McBeal meets suits and then I guess I kind of got to my late twenties and just sort of felt a little bit burnt out."  "You can't have a work life balance that doesn't exist. You know, because you're either in work or you're in life, so you can't balance between the two and have it all"  "As an entrepreneur, even when, in fact, I would almost go so far as to say, especially when things are a little bit quiet. That's when you have an even greater sense of guilt."  "I quickly realised that this sort of concept of becoming completely destitute and, you know, running out of money and not having any clients and whatever actually really just sort of played out as, okay, I'll give it a go."  ABOUT THE GUEST lennonlegal.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/gretchen-lennon-55455664/ VALUABLE RESOURCES Website: http://dougbennett.co.uk/ Email: doug@dougbennett.co.uk LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/financialdoug/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/FinancialDoug Facebook Wealth Tribe: https://join.dougbennett.co.uk/ Download Your "Ten-Step Guide To Financial Freedom" Here: https://bit.ly/Struggle-Success BOOKS: Goals Do Come True is now live and available to buy on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3phcy6Z Think Simple, Win Big is now live and available to buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Think-Simple-Win-Big-Business/ Enjoy, and come back for the latest podcast each Wednesday.

Rana Begum talks to Ben Luke about her influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work.Begum was born in Bangladesh in 1977, came to the UK when she was eight years old and now lives and works in London. She distils everything she does into three essential elements—light, colour and form. From them, she conjures a distinctive array of works that often sit between sculpture, painting and architecture. She draws on influences that vary from canonic Modernist sculptors and painters to historic designs in the Qur'an and Islamic architecture. And she reflects on lived experiences, including growing up in rural Bangladesh and negotiating the London cityscape. Though they may take simple, tangible shape on first impressions, her creations engage the space around them and the senses of her audience in often surprising ways, creating a profound and finely balanced connection between object, environment and viewer.She discusses how her early experiences of reading the Qur'an and the illuminations within it continue to affect her work today. She explains her newfound fascination with J.M.W. Turner, particularly his late paintings. She reflects on how she discovered Anni Albers later than her husband Josef, but how she has since influenced her work. She gives insight into life in the studio and rituals she adheres to, and answers our usual questions, including “What is art for?”Rana Begum, Kate MacGarry, London, until 26 October; No.1367 Mesh, Pallant House, Chichester, UK; No. 1387 Fence, The Verbier 3-D Foundation, Verbier, Switzerland.

Episode 110. Joining us from Verbier, Switzerland is elite performance coach, advisor, entrepreneur, author and many other things is Ariane de Bonvoisin. This is a profound, inspiring conversation. As kids we are told that if we conform, study hard and work hard we will be happy. Ariane lived the "perfect life" as an elite athlete, top student and did everything society told her to do - at the top echelons of society. She had it all: high power job, prestige, relationship, money and the so-called dream life. What's the catch? She was unhappy, unfulfilled and deep down in her soul she knew it wasn't for her. So she gave it all up to live the life she wanted on her own terms. Guess what? She became successful doing what she actually wanted to do. Ariane is full of wisdom with excellent solutions to live life as it should be. Learn how to tap in to your intuition. Wish I met someone like this when I was young. Do yourself (and your kids) a favour and listen to this.

Episode 108. Joining us for a second time from Verbier, Switzerland is mountain guide and all-round superwoman, Caroline George. I wrote this in the description of the last episode we did, "Working as a guide is one of the most difficult and dangerous jobs I can think of - but also the coolest. Their job is to take clients into the mountains for adventure and make sure everyone gets home alive." Caroline's husband Adam, also a guide, died in a freak helicopter accident with clients earlier this year. This is Caroline's heartbreaking story of this sad day and the aftermath as a single parent.

As someone who has used it a lot it's exciting what's on offer and what could develop. I still think some of the partner agreements are a rip off with special lodging needed to get a pass, but for Andermatt, 3 Valleys and the Dolomites it's been brilliant. It was fantastic in Andermatt: show the Epic Pass and they give you a season pass which I'm pretty sure is sold for more” Andrew Brannan: "Eye watering ticket prices, all the top management jobs taken out of resort, all teh restaurants and hotels, shops and even estate agents bought up by the same monopoly, aggressive property development, workers forced to live down the valley" Chris Howie: "It feels as if Vail Resorts are trying to wring every last penny out of resorts while providing the very minimum in return. In most of the Vail Resorts-owned resorts prices have gone sky high so only the rich can ski. Ski passes are almost three times the price of a European ski resort. Lift lines are unbelievably long. The local staff are removed to bring in centralised American staff, ripping the heart out of the resort. I will do my best to never ski at a resort owned by the Vail Resort organisation" Jane Henderson: “You should've given him a bit of a grilling on the negative impact of Epic/Ikon passes” If you like the podcast, there are three things you can do to help:   1) Review us on Apple Podcasts or Spotify 2) Subscribe 3) Book your ski hire with Intersport Rent using the code ‘SKIPODCAST' or simply take this link for your discount to be automatically applied at the checkout   You can follow Iain @skipedia and the podcast @theskipodcast

Ils ne sont pas nombreux à avoir été champion du monde de Class40 et... champion de France de saut à skis ! A notre connaissance, un seul athlète connaît ce privilège : Aurélien Ducroz.  A 40 ans, le Chamoniard, pur produit de la vallée, finit d'accomplir sa mue : celle d'un athlète de haut niveau qui a dominé sa discipline - le freeride - et devient un candidat sérieux aux premiers rôles dans un autre sport - la course au large. Tombé dans le ski tout petit, il vise les JO de 2002 en saut à skis, avant de bifurquer vers le freeride : pendant une dizaine d'années, il fait partie des cadors du circuit, avec deux titres de champon du monde (2009-2011) et quatre victoires à l'Xtreme de Verbier (record en cours). Mais en 2007, il croise la route d'Adrien Hardy, alors ministe, et chope le virus : 4 ans plus tard, il est au départ de la Mini Transat. Pendant de nombreuses années, il court en saisonnier : l'hiver à la montagne, l'été en mer, enchaîne les transats (Québec-Saint-Malo, Transat Jacques Vabre) et les Tour Voile. Jusqu'à ce qu'en 2020, il convainque Crosscall de se lancer dans la construction d'un Class40 dernière génération. Avec son plan Lombard Lift V2, il s'installe en deux saisons dans le top 10 de la classe. Après la déception d'un démâtage dans la Route du Rhum 2022, il vise une belle perf sur la Transat Jacques Vabre avec un certain Vincent Riou. Avant de revenir au solo en 2024 sur la Transat CIC. Et de rêver à un prochain Vendée Globe... Même si, comme il le répète, "il n'est pas d'ici", le montagnard a largement conquis ses galons de marin.  Diffusé le 8 septembre 2023 Générique : In Closing – Days Past Post-production : Grégoire Levillain
