Durante más de dos años, la obra de arte más famosa del mundo estuvo escondida en el dormitorio de un hombre que no sabía muy bien qué hacer con ella. Lo verdaderamente extraño es que, antes de desaparecer, la Mona Lisa ni siquiera era la pintura más célebre del Louvre. Se convirtió en un fenómeno mundial cuando dejó de estar allí. El 21 de agosto de 1911, Vincenzo Peruggia, un trabajador italiano que había realizado labores en el museo, descolgó el cuadro, lo sacó del edificio y lo ocultó en su apartamento de París. La noticia recorrió el mundo; los periódicos reprodujeron aquel rostro enigmático una y otra vez, la policía interrogó incluso a Pablo Picasso y miles de personas acudieron al Louvre, no para contemplar una obra maestra, sino para mirar el espacio vacío que había dejado en la pared. El museo había perdido un cuadro y, sin proponérselo, había creado una celebridad. Cuando la pintura regresó en 1914, ya no volvió como una obra más de Leonardo da Vinci. Regresó convertida en la Mona Lisa: un icono internacional cuya ausencia había despertado más curiosidad que siglos enteros de presencia silenciosa. Es una historia sobre arte, pero también sobre atención. Las personas rara vez sentimos curiosidad por aquello que está completamente explicado; nos atraen los huecos, las contradicciones y las piezas que no encajan. Una puerta cerrada genera más conversación que una habitación abierta, y una pared vacía puede resultar más fascinante que el cuadro que antes colgaba de ella. Los mercados funcionan de una manera parecida, aunque con menos mármol y bastante más ansiedad. Cada semana recibimos una avalancha de titulares, cifras y explicaciones aparentemente definitivas. Varias empresas pueden contar una historia casi idéntica, utilizar las mismas palabras y prometer el mismo futuro, pero terminar la sesión bursátil en direcciones opuestas. La diferencia decisiva suele encontrarse en aquello que no aparece en el titular: una cifra ausente, una promesa que todavía no se ha convertido en prueba, un riesgo que parecía pequeño hasta que alguien necesitó vender o una contradicción que el consenso había decidido ignorar porque estaba demasiado ocupado contemplando el cuadro. Por eso, el episodio de esta semana de **Actualidad Semanal +D** no es una lista de noticias ni una excursión guiada por los movimientos del mercado. Es una búsqueda de esas paredes vacías: los detalles que explican por qué compañías que parecían participar en la misma historia recibieron veredictos radicalmente distintos, cómo alguien puede comprender el futuro y, aun así, no sobrevivir al presente, y por qué el mercado suele cambiar de opinión justo cuando todos creen haber entendido sus reglas. Porque la curiosidad financiera no consiste en saber qué ha sucedido. Consiste en detectar qué falta en la explicación que todo el mundo ha aceptado. El nuevo episodio ya está disponible. Procurad no mirar únicamente el cuadro.
Carmelina Novembre"L'essenza del genio"Il profumo di Leonardo da VinciBonfirraro Editorewww.bonfirraroeditore.itUn profumo può custodire una verità capace di attraversare secoli. Anchiano, 1452. Nell'atmosfera dorata della campagna toscana, tre donne assistono una giovane partoriente: è Caterina, sedicenne segnata da un passato doloroso. Schiava venduta a Venezia e madre di Leonardo, sa di non poter tenere il figlio che sta per nascere. Prima di lasciarlo, imprime nel neonato il ricordo di casa attraverso il profumo di una foglia di fico, un segno olfattivo destinato a sopravvivere al tempo.Torino, presente. Carmelina Novembre, profumiera alchimista, crea un'essenza rivoluzionaria ispirata non a Leonardo da Vinci in sé, ma a La Dama con l'Ermellino, l'opera più enigmatica del genio: una fragranza costruita come un ritratto olfattivo di Cecilia Gallerani, fatta di foglie di fico, ambra, pergamena e legno bagnato.La giornalista francese Giulia Dumas, affiancata dallo storico dell'arte Lorenzo Mantegazza, decide di investigare sull'origine di quella fragranza per il suo prossimo libro. La loro ricerca li conduce a una verità nascosta: il legame profondo tra Leonardo e Caterina, una madre di nobili origini strappata alla libertà, il cui amore vive nell'aroma che segnò l'infanzia del genio.Ma non tutti vogliono che la verità venga alla luce. Gabriele Volpe, profumiere spietato discendente di una famiglia umiliata da Leonardo, si mette sulle tracce del segreto olfattivo per sfruttarlo commercialmente. Il furto di documenti cruciali trasforma la ricerca storica in una pericolosa caccia al tesoro. Giulia dovrà seguire indizi olfattivi, collegare passato e presente e scoprire che il vero tesoro non è una formula segreta, ma la più potente delle storie d'amore: quella di una madre per il figlio che le fu portato via, eternata in un profumo.Carmelina G. Novembre è nata a Grassano, in provincia di Matera, dove ha trascorso infanzia, adolescenza e giovinezza. Dopo il matrimonio con Franco Novembre ha seguito il marito in diverse città italiane, vivendo tra Palermo e Modena prima di stabilirsi a Torino, dove ha trovato equilibrio tra vita familiare e professionale insieme alle figlie Idia e Giusy.Originaria della Basilicata e da sempre legata al mondo delle fragranze, ha trasformato questa passione in un mestiere: è un Naso, creatrice di profumi, e nella sua Maison torinese dà vita a essenze che nascono da storie, incontri e suggestioni. Con L'essenza del genio ha ideato anche una fragranza ispirata a La Dama con l'Ermellino, pensata come complemento olfattivo al romanzo.Nel 2021 ha pubblicato con Bonfirraro Editore Il mistero del profumo di Rol, il racconto autobiografico del suo incontro con la figura di Gustavo Adolfo Rol, sensitivo torinese, e della creazione dei profumi "Mistero" ed "Elna" a lui ispirati. Con L'essenza del genio, edito sempre da Bonfirraro nella collana Romanzo B., torna in libreria intrecciando romanzo storico, indagine contemporanea e arte profumiera.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/
What happens when someone gives a name to something that has always existed?Buckminster Fuller didn't invent tensegrity, but by naming it, he gave the world a new way of seeing. In this episode of the Sacred Geometry series, Joanne explores how Fuller's remarkable work connected architecture, engineering, biology and the living human body through one universal principle…From geodesic domes and “Spaceship Earth” to carbon molecules, fascia and human movement, this episode reveals why Fuller's ideas continue to reshape our understanding of living architecture today.You'll discover:Why Buckminster Fuller coined the term tensegrityHow geodesic domes reveal nature's principles of force distributionWhy the same geometric patterns appear from carbon molecules to the cosmosWhat synergetics and whole-system thinking can teach us about the human bodyHow these ideas are transforming our understanding of fascia, movement and anatomyThis episode continues the journey from Leonardo da Vinci and Kenneth Snelson, exploring how a single word - tensegrity - helped reveal one of nature's most profound organising principles. It also lays the foundation for the next episode, where Joanne introduces Tom Flemons and his groundbreaking work applying these ideas directly to the human body.If this way of understanding the body resonates with you, Joanne Avison and Paul Thornley teach these principles through their online programme, Myofascial Magic in Action. This in-depth course brings together fascia, movement, anatomy, and Sacred Geometry to help practitioners, movers, and curious learners experience the living body in an entirely new way.FIND OUT MORE HERE:

Leadership is built through conversations, trust, and the willingness to learn from failure. In this episode, author Gregory Archbold discusses the lessons behind his book, Fail, Fight, Finish. From the power of listening first to creating buy-in during change, he shares practical leadership strategies that every manager, mentor, and learning professional can put into practice. Show Notes:Author Gregory Archbold discusses trust, mentorship, communication, and leading through change. His key points include:Leadership begins with listening. Great leaders ask questions, create space for others to contribute, and speak last to build trust and develop future leaders.Mentorship is earned, not assigned. Strong mentoring relationships grow over time through curiosity, consistency, and a genuine commitment to learning.Create shared ownership during change. Leaders gain buy-in by involving people in developing solutions rather than presenting fully formed decisions.Challenge processes that no longer serve a purpose. Don't continue doing something simply because "we've always done it that way." Regularly evaluate whether processes still create value.Never become "content lazy." Leadership growth requires continuous learning through reading, mentoring, reflection, and seeking feedback—especially after receiving a promotion. Learn more about Gregory Archbold's book, Fail, Fight, Finish: Leadership Lessons You Don't Learn in the Classroom.Powered by Learning earned Awards of Distinction in the Podcast/Audio and Business Podcast categories from The Communicator Awards and a Gold and Silver Davey Award.

Em 1911, quando o quadro já estava no Louvre há mais de um século, ela foi roubada e isso deixou Paris e o mundo de cabeça para baixo. ***Petlove: Contrate o plano anual do Clube Petlove com o cupom MODUSOPERANDI60 e garanta 6 meses grátis no primeiro ano.

I want to talk about what took Leonardo da Vinci 16 years and at least 30 layers of paint to create, and what that has to do with the life you're building right now. The Mona Lisa is not famous despite its layers of mistakes and revisions. It is famous because of them. In this episode, I break down why the struggles, failures, and seasons where nothing seems to work are not obstacles to your legacy. They are the actual material your legacy is made from. If your goal is to be legendary, you cannot afford to keep treating your hardest chapters like something to bury. Key Takeaways Greatness takes time. Sacrificing legacy for immediacy is one of the most costly trades you can make. Your mistakes and setbacks are not liabilities. They are layers that create a texture nobody else can replicate. The biggest smiles are built on the most tears. What you have been through gives you a perspective and depth that others cannot copy. Your current difficult season is not your final form. It is the foundation being built beneath what the world will eventually see. Do not bury your failures. Own them, because nobody can take your lived experience from you. Action Steps Identify one past failure or painful experience and write down one specific insight or strength it gave you that you could not have gained any other way. Audit where you are rushing something important for the sake of completion rather than letting it become great. Commit to the longer timeline. The next time something does not work out, say out loud: 'This is a layer, not a loss.' Interrupt the habit of treating setbacks as reasons to quit. Notable Quote I love the mistakes because nobody can take them from me. I love overcoming the failures because nobody can take it from you.
**Descripción:** Los Sforza fueron una de las familias más influyentes del Renacimiento italiano. En este episodio exploramos cómo una dinastía nacida de la guerra transformó Milán en uno de los grandes centros del arte, la política y el poder europeo. De Francesco Sforza a Ludovico il Moro, descubriremos su relación con Leonardo da Vinci, Bramante y el nacimiento de una nueva concepción del Estado y la cultura. Una historia de ambición, belleza e intriga que marcó el destino del Renacimiento.
Patañjali Muni, who thousands of years ago wrote a book on psychology and how it relates to the manifestations that we have in our lives, mentions that when we leave this present physical body, the material nature then interprets all of the impressions we have in our mind and the overall feeling that we have when we leave this world. It then fills it in and gives us a new physical, gross body accordingly. And this is described in detail in the eighth and 15th chapters of the Bhagavad Gītā, where the kind of nose—notice, you have a particular kind of nose; you might not have noticed it recently—or a certain kind of ear or eyes [is determined]. Your eyes are different from a fruit fly's eyes. I looked at a magnification of a fruit fly because I was talking about how cute they are the other day, but then when I looked at the magnification, I thought, "It's not as cute as I thought." But in any case, fruit flies have specific eyes that were given to them by the material nature as an accommodation. We have a particular kind of eye; so, one may then ask, "Well, why did I get this particular kind of eye—a set of eyes?" These wisdom literatures answer that it's an accommodation of our consciousness. It's a way that we've developed our consciousness; the way in which we've developed our consciousness is then filled in. So, it's as if you made an impression with your foot in the wet sand and then filled it in with plaster of Paris—you get a perfect rendering of your foot. And in a similar way, our consciousness is what carries us or attracts to us our next physical body. This all goes to say that we're always in the creative process, and we're a lot more creative and powerful than we know. We may turn off that system and forget to create, and just let things happen to us and just take in random information. So, I am taking from this point of Leonardo da Vinci: he had an idea, he conceived of it, he was creative—and how did he express his creative nature? He would write it down for posterity, and then it became manifest as a useful tool. So, how many ways are we creating our next body or whatever is in our environment? It's called ātmakṛtam; it's what we are doing. So, this is a refined way, or a way of refining how we move in the world by being very deliberate and writing things down. This is what I'm trying to present: one of the ways of being very conscious about what we're thinking and where our mind is going, and also going in a predetermined direction—the way we want to go—by writing it down. So, that comes to also writing goals, priorities, and so forth. For instance, I have always in front of me on my desk a list of all my priorities, and they're always ready at hand because in a 24-hour period I can forget my priorities. But because I've taken my intentions, I've written them down very clearly, and I have a list now. I can go through and review and recall them, and stay on track. So, I'm saying that this is a manifestation tool.
Yetenek doğuştan mı gelir, yoksa sonradan mı gelişir? Deha gerçekten var mı, yoksa kültürel bir efsane mi?

What did Leonardo da Vinci see that the rest of the world missed?In the second episode of this new Sacred Geometry series, Joanne explores the extraordinary quality of attention that allowed Leonardo da Vinci to perceive the human body in a way that science would not begin to explain for another 500 years.Long before the language of fascia, tensegrity, or living architecture existed, Leonardo was asking different questions. Through meticulous observation, fearless curiosity, and an unwavering commitment to direct experience, he revealed patterns of proportion, movement, and organisation that continue to shape our understanding of the living body today.You'll discover:Why Leonardo began with seeing rather than theoryThe hidden geometric significance of the Vitruvian ManHow the body expresses multiple centres of organisationWhy sacred geometry is woven throughout living anatomyThe relationship between Leonardo's observations and modern fascia researchHow reductionist anatomy lost sight of the body's living architectureWhy genuine discovery begins with the courage to look differentlyMore than a historical figure, Leonardo becomes an invitation: to observe with fresh eyes, to question inherited assumptions, and to rediscover the remarkable intelligence already present within the living human body.This episode continues Joanne's exploration of the remarkable people whose insights have helped illuminate the living fascial matrix, the hidden geometry of nature, and what it truly means to live in a human body.Would you like to learn with me?

On prend maintenant la direction de l'Afrique du Sud, à l'université de Witwatersrand, à Johannesburg, sur un campus qui date de 1896, devenue université de Wits en 1992. Cet établissement d'excellence, classé parmi les meilleurs du continent, est aussi connu pour son ancrage libéral et pour son activisme, notamment contre le régime de l'apartheid. Wits occupe aujourd'hui une place centrale dans la décolonisation des savoirs. De notre envoyé spécial à Johannesburg, À l'école d'architecture de l'université Wits, à Johannesburg en Afrique du Sud, le professeur Nnamdi Elleh marque les esprits dès les premiers instants. Dès notre arrivée, il s'arrête devant un grand escalier en colimaçon et présente son dernier projet, réalisé en décembre avant son départ à la retraite. « Ici, on retrouve Léonard de Vinci. Et à côté, une figure namibienne ; et d'autres figures du continent. Nulle part ailleurs dans le monde, on ne trouve l'homme de Vitruve de De Vinci aux côtés de figures africaines. Pourtant, quand on les regarde, on constate qu'elles ont aussi des proportions parfaites. C'est le dernier projet que j'ai réalisé en décembre, avant mon départ », explique-t-il. En sept ans à la tête de cette école, le professeur Elleh a œuvré pour inciter ses étudiants à réfléchir dans leurs langues africaines. Une démarche qu'il juge essentielle pour une véritable décolonisation des savoirs. « On ne peut pas parler de décolonisation si le soi, ou la façon de penser, restent étrangers. Les étudiants connaissent le récit. Ils connaissent l'histoire. Maintenant, on doit réfléchir à comment penser des concepts dans sa langue maternelle », détaille-t-il. C'est dans cet esprit qu'a été créée la plateforme Wits Innovations Vernaculaires (Wits-VITS), visant à élaborer un large lexique de notions complexes en langues locales. Le professeur Elleh partage l'un de ses exemples préférés : « L'un de mes exemples préférés, c'est quand un étudiant a travaillé sur le mot ''paysage''. Dans sa culture zouloue, le paysage englobe le ciel, la terre, le vent, l'air, ainsi que les vivants et les morts. Je n'avais jamais entendu une définition pareille ! » Cette initiative prend tout son sens dans un contexte où, dans la plupart des universités africaines, l'enseignement se fait encore en langues dominantes, principalement l'anglais et le français. Pour Nnamdi Elleh, les mots eux-mêmes sont un enjeu de pouvoir : « Souvent, quand quelque chose est nouveau, on parle d'occidentalisation. Mais le mot "occidentalisation" est déjà une arme. Il signifie : "Je possède. Tu n'es qu'un emprunteur." La plus grande arme, c'est d'abord le mot. Avec mon programme, je veux donc décoloniser les mots et les pensées. » Les résultats de cette approche sont tangibles. En décolonisant les mots dès leur entrée à l'école d'architecture, les étudiants voient leur cursus se transformer. Marie-Justine Mutabazi, 25 ans, étudiante en cinquième année, en témoigne : « Quand on arrive en première année, on pense que l'architecture, il s'agit de quelque chose qui se situe en dehors de l'expérience africaine. Mais M. Elleh nous a recentrés sur l'Afrique et sur les connaissances africaines. Alors, aujourd'hui, maintenant qu'on réalise nos projets de master, on est capables de puiser ce savoir au plus profond de nous-mêmes. Ce n'est plus quelque chose que l'on doit aller chercher à l'extérieur de soi. » À Wits, les langues vernaculaires, souvent reléguées au passé, deviennent ainsi des langues résolument modernes, des moteurs d'innovation au service de la connaissance.

What happens when AI makes creating learning content easier than ever? According to 7taps co-founder Ezra Charm, that's when the real work of learning and development begins. In this episode, Ezra joins the Powered by Learning team to discuss why the future of L&D is about more than creating content—it's about driving engagement, improving performance, and measuring impact.Show Notes:From the rise of the "LMS-less learner" to the role of AI in modern learning strategies, 7tap's Ezra Charm shares why learning professionals have an opportunity to become more valuable than ever. Here are some of Ezra's top takeaways.AI is shifting L&D's role from content creation to performance improvement. As authoring becomes easier, learning professionals can focus on driving behavior change and demonstrating business value. Organizations don't have a content problem—they have an engagement problem. Success depends on delivering learning when and where employees need it, not simply creating more courses. Learning should meet employees where they work. Today's "LMS-less learner" expects learning to be accessible on any device, in the flow of work, rather than requiring a trip back into the LMS. Microlearning works because it's grounded in learning science. By respecting cognitive load, spaced repetition, and mobile-first behaviors, organizations can improve retention and application. The future of L&D is measuring impact. Learning teams that can connect training to business outcomes will move from being viewed as cost centers to strategic business partners.Learn more about 7tapsRead more about d'Vinci's partnership with 7tapsAbout Ezra Charm:Ezra Charm is Co-Founder and COO of 7taps, where he's spent years building the brand and go-to-market engine for the microlearning platform.

Andrea Settis Frugoni"L'alleggerimento delle vernici"Paul Saint BrisTraduzione: Giuseppe Giovanni AllegriBarta Edizioniwww.barta.it«Ogni nuova visione modificava l'immagine che se ne faceva. Ogni volta gli sembrava di scoprire nuovamente l'espressione di quel viso dolce e impenetrabile per attribuirle un umore diverso, un nuovo significato. E anche se ne conosceva ogni screpolatura, in fondo lei rimaneva un enigma, vasto e insondabile quanto il cosmo».In questo romanzo – definito «una pepita» da Amélie Nothomb e vincitore in patria di oltre 20 premi letterari – seguiamo le vicissitudini di Aurélien, curatore capo della sezione Dipinti del Louvre, intellettuale nostalgico che coltiva l'ideale della bellezza e vede nel museo un rifugio dove proteggersi dal frastuono del mondo contemporaneo.La nuova direttrice del museo, Daphné, pragmatica fino alla spregiudicatezza, gli affida una missione tanto azzardata quanto temuta: il restauro della Gioconda, per riportarla allo splendore dei colori originali, togliendo la patina degli interventi conservativi susseguitisi nei secoli. Ma dove finisce il restauro di un'opera d'arte e dove inizia il tradimento?A malincuore, per scongiurare danni peggiori, Aurélien parte alla ricerca di un restauratore abbastanza audace da affrontare il capolavoro. E proprio nella terra di Leonardo, in Toscana, incontrerà Gaetano, personalità intensa e libera. Di fronte a Monna Lisa, il restauratore misurerà il proprio talento con quello del genio di Vinci, mentre tutto il mondo trattiene il respiro e alla tavolozza si aggiunge il colore di una trama nell'ombra. Una trama innamorata.Paul Saint BrisFotografo, regista, direttore artistico e scrittore. Proveniente da una famiglia profondamente radicata nella storia dell'arte, Paul è il nipote di Jean Saint Bris, erede della tenuta di famiglia del Clos Lucé, nei pressi di Amboise, dove Leonardo da Vinci trascorse gli ultimi anni della sua vita. Appassionato di Rinascimento italiano, studia la funzione delle immagini e lo sguardo che la società contemporanea rivolge loro. Questo è il suo primo romanzo.«Un incontro vero con un'opera d'arte può avvenire solo in un tête-à-tête, in una forma di intimità tra opera d'arte e spettatore. E se puoi guardare la Gioconda abbastanza da vicino ti trovi nello stesso “luogo” in cui si trovava Leonardo mentre dipingeva. In questo senso, simbolicamente, il dipinto è uno specchio.

What does Leonardo da Vinci have in common with the Israelites wandering through the wilderness? More than you might think. Leonardo imagined flying machines centuries before the technology existed. Every visionary artist knows that feeling: seeing possibilities long before the world is ready. But living in the creative vanguard can also be lonely, exhausting, and discouraging. Drawing on Numbers 30 - 36 (Parashat Mattot-Masei), Rabbi Alon Ferency explores what the Torah teaches about innovation, artistic courage, and sustainable creativity. Beginning with the tribes of Gad and Reuven volunteering to become the "vanguard troops," this talk examines why creators are often called to go first, and why they should never go alone. Along the way you'll discover: • Why the wilderness is the Bible's greatest metaphor for the creative process • What the Hebrew word Mitzrayim ("Egypt") reveals about escaping narrow thinking • How ancient "cities of refuge" offer a surprising blueprint for creative resilience • Why clearing obstacles in your life is often more important than finding more inspiration • The Jewish idea of "areivut," our shared responsibility for one another, and why every artist needs community Whether you're a musician, writer, painter, entrepreneur, educator, clergy member, or anyone trying to grow beyond yesterday's limits, this conversation offers practical wisdom for continuing the journey without burning out. Creativity isn't about reaching a destination. It's about becoming someone who never stops traveling. If this message encourages you, consider subscribing, sharing it with another creative person, and joining the conversation in the comments.
Most people think in binary — it will happen or it won't. A former CIA field officer says that mental habit is quietly destroying your decisions, your business, and your shot at the life you actually want. Anthony Vinci spent years recruiting intelligence sources in active war zones, advising presidents and generals on high-stakes decisions, and then managing investments at Bridgewater Associates under Ray Dalio — one of the most disciplined decision-making environments on the planet. After leaving government, he built a company from the ground up without knowing what an LLC was, wrote The Fourth Intelligence Revolution, and launched Veeo, a forecasting and scenario-planning platform now used by hedge funds, corporations, and governments. His hard-won insight: the cost of bad decisions is massive, and it follows you forever — but the right system changes everything. In this episode, you'll discover: Why "chunking" risk is the CIA method for taking action without freezing up — Anthony breaks down how he planned missions in Baghdad piece by piece, and how to apply the exact same framework to business decisions and big life swings The "compartmentalize risk" principle that explains why the world's biggest risk-takers (Special Forces operators, entrepreneurs) are often deeply conservative in other areas of their lives — and how to deliberately design yours Why stubbornness + optimism = resilience — and the hidden flip side that destroys most entrepreneurs who don't know when to stop The binary thinking trap: why saying "it's more likely than not" is dramatically less useful than saying "it's a 55% chance vs. a 90% chance" — and why that gap is where elite decision-makers live What Ray Dalio's Bridgewater taught Anthony about the one non-negotiable trait you need in your inner circle — and the exact type of person you must limit access to your energy Connect with Anthony Vinci www.anthonyvinci.com Connect with Kwame: Request A Customized Workshop For Your Company Follow Kwame Christian on LinkedIn negotiateanything.com Click here to buy your copy of Finding Confidence in Conflict: How to Negotiate Anything and Live Your Best Life! @kwamenegotiates across all social platforms
Michael speaks with Anthony Vinci, former career intelligence officer and the first Chief Technology Officer of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. They discuss Anthony's new book, "The Fourth Intelligence Revolution: The Future of Espionage and the Battle to Save America", which explores how artificial intelligence and intensive competition with China have transformed modern spycraft. Anthony explains his forecast where "machines are going to spy on machines," rendering legacy counterterrorism and Cold War operations obsolete. He warns that adversarial surveillance strategy now directly targets the digital lives of everyday Americans, demanding an urgent re-assessment of how Washington approaches economic espionage to protect national sovereignty.

Salvatori Ferragamo didn’t make beautiful shoes, he made shoes that work with the human body beautifully. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I’m Stephen’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients. So here’s one of those. [Rocket Cooling Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast. Dave Young here along with Stephen Semple, and we’re talking about businesses and empires and how people grew their business and the decisions they made and all of those things. Hi, Stephen. Stephen Semple: Hey, David. Dave Young: I’m struggling here because you told me we’re going to talk about Ferragamo. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: And you’re not even going to understand this. I think it’s a clothing thing, a fashion thing. Stephen Semple: Yep. Dave Young: But let me tell you what comes to my mind, my adult 60-plus-year mind. Stephen Semple: Oh, this should be entertaining. Dave Young: I think back in the ’70s, I think, the University of Nebraska Cornhusker football team had a quarterback named Vince Ferragamo. Stephen Semple: Oh, there you go. Dave Young: He’s a pretty good guy. Pretty good quarterback. And that’s what I though of when you said Ferragamo. Stephen Semple: Okay. Not him. Dave Young: Fashion didn’t come into it. So it’s not him. Stephen Semple: Not him. Dave Young: So there’s another Ferragamo somewhere. Stephen Semple: There is, believe it or not. Dave Young: Oh, I’m all ears. Stephen Semple: Well, here’s the thing that’s kind of interesting about Ferragamo. They’re a pretty big player in the luxury brand space. They mainly do shoes, but it’s not as big as Gucci or Hermes or some of those other ones, but they still do like a billion dollars in sales. They’ve got, call it about 3,500 employees worldwide. They have 450 stores. 85% of their sales are shoes and their shoes for the most part run from about $750 US to about three grand. Dave Young: Okay. Are you wearing yours right now? Stephen Semple: I do not have a pair. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Do not have a pair. But what’s really interesting, so the company was founded by Salvatore Ferragamo, who was an Italian immigrant. The company was started in 1923 when he opened the Hollywood Boot Shop in California where he became known as the shoemaker to the stars. Dave Young: I was thinking this would be an Italian company, but this is an American immigrant story. Stephen Semple: Well, except in 1927 he returned to Italy and he established the company in Florence. And in 1938, he purchased the historic Palazzo Spini Feroni, which remains the company’s headquarters. And this is kind of where my story starts. Dave, as you know, I was recently in Florence where I spent two weeks just wandering the city and I literally came across the Ferragamo headquarters, which is this stunning old building that’s just right off the banks of the Arno River in the center of the city. It’s this beautiful store that on the ground floor, there’s a store on the ground floor, there’s the offices above. It’s all been beautifully restored and a museum in the basement. Dave Young: Wow. Stephen Semple: So I had to visit the museum. Dave Young: And we missed the opportunity for you to just have me fly over and we’d do this live from the plaza. Stephen Semple: That’s it. We did miss this opportunity, but it’s always an opportunity for an update. So I had to visit the museum and this is where I learned the story of Salvatore Ferragamo, which actually turned out to be really fascinating. He is a very real Renaissance-style man, or he was. Engineer at heart, studied anatomy, had patents for other industrial machines. And this is what really made him different. In the early 1900s, most shoemakers believed their job was to make attractive shoes. That’s kind of how the industry leaned. And Salvatore believed his job was to make shoes that worked with the human body. So he did something different. He studied anatomy. Dave Young: I like this guy already. Stephen Semple: He attended classes… Yeah. He attended classes where he learned how the foot carried weight, how the arch functioned and why fashionable shoes were painful. Then he redesigned the shoes based upon what he discovered. And to me, that’s part of the Ferragamo story that’s worth listening to. It’s not just about the shoes, but it’s the moment where he stopped thinking like a shoemaker and started thinking like a customer. Now, this was in the museum, which is kind of a tribute to the business. So how true is that statement? Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: So the next day I’m standing in line to climb the 458 stairs to the top of the Duomo in Florence. So while standing in line, often what happens, people get talking about where are you from? How long you’ve been? What have you seen? And the lady in front of me, Susan, asked an interesting question, “Have you seen anything that has surprised you?” And I told her about the Ferragamo Museum. I said, “That surprised me. It was really cool, really, really well done.” And she immediately told me they were her favorite shoes and she had a couple pair. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: I then asked her an important question. I said, “Susan, are they comfortable?” He said, “Surprisingly so.” Dave Young: All right, there you go. Stephen Semple: So I was in that moment sold, need to tell the story. In fact, went back to the museum, took more notes. Dave Young: Gotcha. Stephen Semple: So Salvatore Ferragamo was born in June 5th, 1898 in Bonito, which is just outside [inaudible 00:06:31], he was the 11th of 14 children. Dave Young: Wow. Stephen Semple: His parents were poor farmers with a small piece of land and much of the older children immigrated to the United States. So Salvatore’s sisters were being confirmed and by tradition in confirmation, you’re required to wear white shoes, which the Ferragamo family couldn’t afford. So Salvatore worked basically through the night making shoes for his little sisters. And he was like nine at the time. So basically a shoemaker was born. Dave Young: That’s amazing. Stephen Semple: So when his father died in 1912, the family situation got worse and shortly afterwards, Salvatore went to Naples to learn as much as he could about shoemaking. And when he returned to Bonito, he opened a small shoemaking business with six people, but his aspirations were larger than that. And he decided to do what many Italians at the time did, join his siblings in America. So March 24th, 1915, he basically sailed to New York where he landed at Ellis Island on April 7th. And from New York, Salvatore moved to Boston where he started working for the… God, the name of this company, you’re going to love the name of this company. The Thomas G. Plant Queen Quality Shoemaking Company. Dave Young: Amen. Stephen Semple: But they were doing these machine-made shoes and they didn’t have the same quality as the ones produced by hand. So he wasn’t really loving it, but he learned something. So he moved to Santa Barbara, California, where his brothers Alfonso, Girolamo and Secondino had settled. So in Santa Barbara, he opened his first custom shoe repair shop on 1033 State Street. And he was introduced to the world of cinema by his brother Girolamo, who ironed clothes for the American film company, and his cousin Jerry, who is a character actor in the serial, The Diamond from the Sky. So through his brother, Salvatore got a boot order for early Western movies and this opened the doors to Hollywood. But in 1916, Salvatore attended anatomy classes. We talked about the anatomy classes at the University of Southern California where he discovered the secret of comfortable shoe was supporting the arch of the foot, all about the arch of the foot. Now, life-changing thing happens for him. February 4th, 1920, he’s driving his car and he gets in a serious accident. His brother Alino dies and he actually almost lost his own leg. At Bard Memorial Hospital in Ventura, he decided to apply his learning of anatomy to designing a machine for limb traction to help- Dave Young: Really? Stephen Semple: Yes, to help in his own recovery. And this shapes his thinking. 1923, he transferred his business to Hollywood where he acquired the lease of the Hollywood Boot Shop at 6687 Hollywood Boulevard, just across from the Grauman’s Egyptian Theater. 1923, film director Cecil B. DeMille commissions Ferragamo to make footwear for The Ten Commandments. Other directors start to hire him for doing footwear and he starts collaborating with other directors such as David Wark Griffins, James Cruze, a whole bunch of them. But February 1926, Ferragamo received an American citizenship and a passport. So he’s now an American citizen. And he decides, here’s what he wants to do. He wanted to expand production but maintain quality and style. And he decided he was going to handcraft shoes in Italy and distribute them through the Hollywood store to these American clientele that he was developing, because this also opened up him doing work with the movie stars, right? So in 1926, he sets up Ferragamo Inc. And he leaves the United States and basically takes a liner to Rome and basically settles in Florence. And he gives birth to a company doing like 360 pairs of shoes a day thanks to 750 shoemakers. But here’s what he did. So remember he was working with the place that was manufacturing shoes? Dave Young: Uh-huh. Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories To Sell] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off and trust me, you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: And he gives birth to a company doing like 360 pairs of shoes a day thanks to 750 shoemakers. But here’s what he did. So remember he was working with the place that was manufacturing shoes? Dave Young: Uh-huh. Stephen Semple: Well, he looked at that manufacturing process and he went, “Well, you could do the same thing but still handcraft them or you break everything into… Dave Young: Into pieces. Stephen Semple: … to pieces. Dave Young: This is the production line story. Stephen Semple: The production line story except applying it to craftsmen. Still a handcrafted, small run of shoes. Dave Young: Yeah, I love it. Stephen Semple: Because when they make their shoes, they don’t make 5,000 pairs. They make a small run of the shoes. But this human chain came from production. So he applied the assembly line approach he learned in America for making machine-made shoes and applied them to handmade shoes. 1920s onward Ferragamo experiments with all sorts of different materials. He was this real artisan who experimented with fish skin and straw and cork. And he patented lots of footwear such as the wedge. All sorts of different designs he comes up with. And in 1938, he rents a few rooms in the building he’s in today, establishes the workshop, and later he’s able to purchase the entire palace, which has been the headquarters ever since. And basically the Salvatore Ferragamo became a symbol of Italy’s reconstruction after the war through design and production. And they did a lot of inventions, the invisible sandal where the upper’s made of nylon thread, which in 1947 he received the Neiman Marcus Award, which is basically one of the Oscars of the fashion industry. And it was the first time it was awarded to an Italian for footwear. They basically did big innovations with stiletto heels, all sorts of things. Now there’s no question there weren’t setbacks along the way. 1929, the market crash hurt the company. ’33, they had to declare bankruptcy, but they came back. And he was a real Renaissance man. Among the patents held by Ferragamo, there’s many that have nothing to do with footwear, such as he has a patent on an offensive and defensive anti-aircraft system. Dave Young: Really? Stephen Semple: And a patent on the construction of Navy forts and a patent on a multiple launch torpedo. Dave Young: Holy cow. That’s amazing. Stephen Semple: Right? But the big thing that he talked about in his memoirs was he loved feet. He had this fascination with feet. He wrote in his memoirs, “I love feet. They talk to me. As I take them in my hands, I feel their strengths, their weaknesses, their vitality, or their failings. A good foot, its muscles firm, it’s arch strong is a delight to touch. A masterpiece of divine workmanship.” He doesn’t sound like an engineer, does he? Dave Young: No, but recognizing that there’s engineering going on, especially in your foot, it’s one of the most complicated parts of your body. Stephen Semple: Another thing he wrote in his memoirs was, “When I began studying human anatomy, I found my first clue to the problem in the distribution of weight of the body over the joints of the foot. I discovered the interesting fact that the weight of our bodies when we are standing erect drops straight down on the arch of the foot.” So when he studied foot mechanics, he was looking at the laws governing the way we walk, the architecture of the skeleton and how muscles function. And what he understood was how important weight distribution is between the center of the plantar arch and the ends of the foot, the heel and the toes, especially in motion, like that the foot provides joints and swivels and does all of this other stuff. So to support this complex structure, Ferragamo created this special steel shank inside of the shoe that allows the foot to move like an inverted pendulum is how he described it. Dave Young: Oh, wow. Stephen Semple: So he looked at how architects and builders of cathedrals use plumb lines to find the medial line and he applied that to the body to create this axis of equilibrium that sits right on the center of the plantar arch. Dave Young: Oh, that’s amazing. Yeah. Stephen Semple: And he had books and books and books on this in terms of how he was studying how the foot moves in standing and walking and things along that line. And his list of innovations went on and on and on and on. It was just really, really crazy. And as I said, when I looked at it, I went, “This guy is… He’s a Renaissance man. He’s an engineer. He’s an artist. He’s a philosopher.” He even had things where he talked about how there was these different personalities of women and how they interacted with their footwear. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: He created what we would call character diamonds where here’s their strength, here’s their weakness. It was amazing. Dave Young: Oh, he’s the kind of guy that if you walked past him, he could tell you exactly where your foot hurts, where your back hurts. Right? Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: He can see that anatomy. He can see the forces at work. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Those kinds of people are rare and kind of cool to interact with. Stephen Semple: Yeah. And even his early advertising, much more avant-garde art than commercial advertising. He hired this futuristic artist, Lucio Venna, to create his logo and advertising posters. And if you look at them, they were not typical shoe ads. They were artistic and abstract and in some ways you weren’t even sure… They were really beautiful and cool and inspiring. Dave Young: That’s awesome. Stephen Semple: So you can now see why when I visited the museum and I’m reading all of this stuff that I got unbelievably fascinated. And then when I meet the woman who was like, “Oh yeah, no, the shoes are surprisingly comfortable.” I’m like, okay, I need to go back. Dave Young: I think you’d look fine in a nice wedge. Stephen Semple: There you go. There you go. I find the wedges ugly. I was actually disappointed he invented those. And then even afterwards, I went into the store and looked at the shoes and the shoes are absolutely beautiful. Stunning. Dave Young: Very cool. Stephen Semple: So the thing I found that was interesting to me, there was a couple of lessons here. And I find this is a really common reoccurring theme with a lot of the empires, not thinking like somebody from the industry, but thinking like the customer. And he followed his passion, but his passion was to solve a problem. Yes, he wanted to create beautiful shoes, but lots of people were creating beautiful shoes. What he wanted to create were beautiful shoes that were comfortable. And he applied all that engineering knowledge to fashionable shoes. Dave Young: Gotcha. Yeah. Yeah. Stephen Semple: He was thinking like a customer and he changed the way we look at shoes, he changed the way they were engineered. And he also then changed the way handcrafted shoes are made. He looked at that mass manufacturing model, which didn’t appeal to him, but looked at it and said, “I can apply this to handcrafted shoes.” Dave Young: All right. What a great story. What’s really strange, it’s a reverse immigrant story. He immigrated to the US, became a citizen, and then went back to Italy to change the world. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: Everything about this guy was fascinating. And there was even a thing where they were talking about when he passed away, his personal book collection and how it had philosophy in it and religion in it and engineering in it and books on art in it. Just again, all of this very much Renaissance thinking. If you think about people like Leonardo da Vinci, who’s from Florence, that’s what he was. He was an artist and an engineer. Dave Young: Yeah. Great story. So I’m going to bring this full circle to the Nebraska quarterback, Vince Ferragamo. Stephen Semple: There you go. Okay. Dave Young: I did a quick Google search while you were talking to see if they were related. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: And I don’t think they are because in 2016, the shoe company sued Vince Ferragamo for a trademark infringement. I don’t know the details. It was behind a paywall, but I got the gist of it from the headline that probably not the same family. Stephen Semple: Or from the branch of the family that everybody was like, “Those guys [inaudible 00:20:28].” Dave Young: Yeah. The black sheep. The ones that stayed in the US. Stephen Semple: Well, we sent them to Nebraska for a reason. They were supposed to just stay there. Dave Young: Well, I don’t know where he’s from. He’s probably recruited to Nebraska. Well, I appreciate the Ferragamo story. Great. Stephen Semple: I knew you would like it because it was just one of those ones where it was like this guy was a really interesting dude. Dave Young: Yeah. We’d loved to have hung out with that guy. Stephen Semple: That’s actually the thing. The more I read about it, this would be one of those people that if he were alive today, I would say I would want to sit down and have an espresso with this guy. Dave Young: Yeah, absolutely. All right. Well, trying to think of a good sign-off for a shoe company. Safe walking out there and we’ll see you next time on another episode of the Empire Builders Podcast.

What happens when the future of surgery starts to feel less like science fiction and more like a cockpit? In this Inside Job reaction episode, Matt and Aaron revisit their profile of Dr. Alex Fondaw, M.D., and bring in Dr. Alisa Coker, M.D., Director of Robotic Surgery and Education at Dell Medical School, to unpack how robotic surgery is changing the operating room. Dr. Coker explains why surgical robots are not exactly new, how the da Vinci system has evolved over more than two decades, and what it actually feels like for a surgeon to sit at the console and operate with robotic arms. She also gets into the tension between open, laparoscopic, and robotic surgery, the training challenges facing the next generation of surgeons, and why the human surgeon is still very much in control. It is a conversation about technology, trust, patient care, and professional identity at a moment when AI and robotics are reshaping the way people work. For surgeons, the question may not be whether the machines are coming. They are already here. The bigger question is how humans learn to work with them.

Artificial intelligence has made translation faster and more accessible than ever, but it isn't the right solution for every learning project. Interpro Translation Solutions' Nicholas Strozza, CEO, and Beshar Bahjat, Chief Technology Officer discuss how AI is changing translation, where human expertise remains essential, and what L&D leaders should consider when creating equitable learning experiences for multilingual audiences.Show Notes:Nicholas Strozza and Beshar Bahjat of Interpro Translation Solutions discuss the evolving role of AI in translation, the difference between translation and localization, and how organizations can balance speed, cost, quality, and learner experience when delivering training across languages. Key points include:Translation and localization are not the same thing. Translation converts content from one language to another, while localization adapts the entire learner experience—including language variations, imagery, audio, cultural references, and regional preferences.AI is a powerful starting point, not always a finished product. For many projects, AI can accelerate translation, but human review remains critical when accuracy, brand reputation, compliance, or learner safety are at stake.The right approach depends on your goals. Organizations should evaluate audience, content type, language, risk level, and long-term translation needs before deciding how much AI or human involvement is appropriate.Learning equity matters. Learners who speak another language deserve the same high-quality experience as English-speaking learners. Poor translations can negatively impact comprehension, engagement, accessibility, and training outcomes.Human expertise remains essential in the age of AI. Professional linguists increasingly serve as reviewers, editors, and quality experts who ensure translated content reflects local language, culture, terminology, and organizational standards.Learn more about Interpro Translation SolutionsPowered by Learning earned Awards of Distinction in the Podcast/Audio and Business Podcast categories from The Communicator Awards and a Gold and Silver Davey Award.

Leonardo da Vinci once wrote that the key to developing a “complete mind” was to “study the science of art. Study the art of science. Learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else.”In 2009, Sherry Zhang and a group of dedicated California parents who were disillusioned with the schools in their area decided to co-found an academic institution that would put this philosophy into practice.A former Silicon Valley entrepreneur and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory postdoctoral chemist, Zhang shares her unexpected journey from working in a garage tech start up to being a founding member of a classical academy.In this episode, Zhang discusses the core philosophy behind classical education—built upon three tenets: truth, goodness, and beauty. She reveals how intensive training in classical Chinese dance, ballet, visual arts, and music causes students to develop habits of perseverance, focus, and attentiveness that transfer to academics.In an age dominated by instant gratification and digital distraction, Zhang explains how the structure of classical arts provides order that children long for.One student, Hugo, came to the San Francisco High School of the Arts unable to focus and with failing grades. After one year at the school, he began to prosper academically, and his mother was stunned. His story is just one among many, Zhang says.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
