Podcasts about Vo

So here's the thing. I know I talk a lot about reading. It's pretty important to me. But all week I've been trying to prepare a different podcast, one NOT about the uncrackable justification for choice reading. But recently I heard from several teachers over in CHSE about thriving reading programs they had going, only to get shut down by folks who felt like reading in class was a waste of time. And then I kind of ended up in a rabbit hole, as I am wont to do. It's like researching the justification for choice reading became my guilty pleasure, sucking up all my time. I listened to audiobooks on my walks, pored over research roundups and articles at the coffee shop, hit up the hammock with my Penny Kittle, and stared and stared and stared at the growing evidence mounting in my endless Google doc of notes. The evidence is clear. The need for help for kids who don't read, don't like reading, and don't want to read is great. And yet STILL we are prioritizing reading snippets and drilling for tests to "improve" our readers' reading. I want you to have the information you need to fight. So here I am. Again. Despite my efforts to focus on something else this week. Let's dig deep.

➢ Apply for coaching www.colossusfitness.comGrim but motivating stat: Without intervention, we lose ~3–8% muscle per decade after 30, and VO₂ max drops ~10% per decade. This accelerates frailty, falls, and loss of independence.Most people never sprint again after 308 Tips To Supercharge Your Body For Longevity:1- Maximize Your VO₂ Max (The #1 Predictor)Why it matters: One of the strongest independent predictors of all-cause mortality — often stronger than smoking, diabetes, or high blood pressure.How to train it: 80/20 rule — majority Zone 2 (conversational pace, you can speak in full sentences but it's effortful) + 1 hard session/week (intervals: e.g., 4×4 min hard or Norwegian 4×4 protocol).Practical: 3–5 sessions/week total. Brisk walking/rucking counts. Even older adults can improve 15–30% in months.First step: Test it (lab, or good wearable estimate) and add one Zone 2 session this week.2- Lift Weights — Hit the 90–120 Minute Sweet Spot2026 BJSM study (147k+ people, 30-year follow-up): 90–119 min/week of strength training linked to 13% lower all-cause mortality, 19% lower CVD mortality, 27% lower neurological disease mortality. More than ~120 min didn't add extra mortality benefit in the data. Additive to aerobic work.Protocol: 3–4 sessions/week, focus on compound movements + progressive overload. Full body or upper/lower split. Include carries and grip work.First step: Block 90–120 min total this week across 2–3 sessions.3- Build Stability & Balance (The Hidden Foundation)Attia's #1 pillar. Prevents injuries and falls (huge longevity lever).Practical: 10–15 min most days — single-leg work, bird dogs, dead bugs, balance board or single-leg Romanian deadlifts. Progress difficulty.First step: Add a 10-min stability finisher after 2–3 workouts this week.4- Diversify Your Movement (The 19% Mortality Hack)2026 Harvard study (BMJ Medicine): Highest exercise variety group had 19% lower all-cause mortality vs lowest variety — independent of total volume. Walking, weights, jogging, tennis/squash, cycling, stairs, etc. all counted.Practical: Don't just lift + run. Add rucking, swimming, pickleball/tennis, hiking, dance, or even gardening as “exercise.”First step: Add one completely different modality this week.5- Train for the centurion decathalonAttia concept: Identify 10–12 real-world activities you want to do at 80–100 (get off floor without hands, carry two bags of groceries up stairs, hike with pack, play with grandkids on the floor, etc.) and reverse-engineer training now.Practical: Farmer carries, floor get-ups (Turkish get-up variations), stair climbs with load, grip work, single-leg strength.First step: Write your personal “Centenarian Decathlon” list this week.6- Eat Enough Protein to Preserve MuscleAttia recommendation: 1.6–2.2 g/kg body weight per day (roughly 0.8–1 g per lb) — much higher than the old RDA. Critical because of anabolic resistance as we age. Pairs perfectly with resistance training.Practical: ~30–50 g high-quality protein per meal (leucine threshold ~2.5–3 g). Spread across 3–4 meals. Meat, eggs, dairy, whey, or high-quality plant combinations.First step: Audit one day of eating and add protein where you're low.7- Treat Sleep as Your Most Important Training SessionSleep is when you actually adapt and recover. Poor sleep destroys muscle gains, VO₂ max improvements, and accelerates biological aging.Practical: 7–9 hours consistent schedule. Dark, cool room. Wind-down routine. Track it.First step: Pick a non-negotiable bedtime and protect the hour before it.8- Track, Test & Iterate (Data Over Feelings)DexaThanks for listening!

CardioNerds co-chairs Dr. Dinu Balanescu and Dr. Billy Joe Mullinax, along with FIT lead Dr. Shiavax Rao, discuss the evolving landscape of randomized controlled trials in pulmonary embolism with Dr. Jay Giri, interventional cardiologist, Associate Professor of Medicine, and Director of the Cardiovascular Catheterization Laboratories at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. This episode examines the historical evidence behind systemic thrombolysis, the emergence of catheter-directed therapies and mechanical thrombectomy, and the landmark RCTs – STORM-PE, PEERLESS, HI-PEITHO, and PEERLESS II – that are reshaping intermediate-risk PE management. The discussion highlights challenges in PE trial design, the critical importance of clinical deterioration as an endpoint, and why this era represents an unprecedented wave of evidence generation in PE. Audio editing for this episode was performed by CardioNerds Intern, Dr. Julia Marques Fernandes. Dr. Dinu Balanescu and Dr. Billy-Joe Mullinax are Co-chairs for the CardioNerds PE Series, developed in collaboration with the PERT Consortium.   Enjoy this Circulation 2022 Paths to Discovery article to learn about the CardioNerds story, mission, and values.

Pearls: Systemic thrombolysis in intermediate-risk PE reduces hemodynamic decompensation but at the cost of ~1.5–2% intracranial hemorrhage risk – a near-zero net benefit that has driven the search for safer catheter-based alternatives. “Focus on clinical deterioration, not mortality” – Due to crossover design in contemporary PE RCTs, control-arm patients who decompensate are rescued with advanced therapies, biasing mortality toward the null. Clinical deterioration is the most informative endpoint to watch in HI-PEITHO, PRAGUE-26, and PEERLESS II. HI-PEITHO is the first large RCT to demonstrate that catheter-directed fibrinolysis plus anticoagulation significantly reduces the composite of PE-related death, cardiorespiratory decompensation, or PE recurrence versus anticoagulation alone (RR 0.39; 95% CI 0.20–0.77; P=0.005), with no intracranial hemorrhage in either arm. The four major upcoming/recently reported PE RCTs (HI-PEITHO, PRAGUE-26, PEERLESS II, PE-TRACT) enroll progressively different risk populations – from the most enriched (HI-PEITHO) to the most permissive (PE-TRACT, which includes intermediate-low risk patients) – enabling a nuanced understanding of which patients benefit most from intervention. PE device clearance follows a fundamentally different FDA pathway than structural heart devices (single-arm safety/efficacy studies vs. mandated RCTs), yet market forces and clinical need have ultimately driven industry and government to sponsor large-scale RCTs – a lesson in how evidence development can evolve organically alongside regulatory frameworks. Notes: Notes drafted by Dr. Shiavax Rao. Question #1: What is the current evidence behind advanced PE therapies? Systemic thrombolysis: Sixteen RCTs over 40 years (1972–2014) enrolling nearly 2,000 patients have studied systemic thrombolysis in intermediate-risk PE. The landmark PEITHO trial (n=1,006) showed that tenecteplase reduced the composite of death or hemodynamic collapse (2.6% vs. 5.6%; P=0.015), driven primarily by reduced hemodynamic decompensation (1.6% vs. 5.0%; P=0.002). However, this came at the cost of increased major bleeding (6.3% vs. 1.5%; P

Má len 18 rokov, no už teraz píše príbeh, aký by mu mohli závidieť mnohí hokejoví rovesníci. Slovenský brankár s dominikánskymi koreňmi, Roberto Leonardo Henriquez, ktorého si v tohtoročnom drafte vybral zo 170. miesta slávny Boston Bruins, prijal pozvanie do najnovšej epizódy podcastu Góly z bufetu na ŠPORT.sk. S moderátorskou dvojicou Marekom Marušiakom a Tomášom Prokopom sa podelil o zážitky, ktoré z neho robia jeden z najzaujímavejších prospektov nášho hokeja.Už len samotný pôvod mladého gólmana púta okamžitú pozornosť. Ako divákom prezradil, jeho otec pochádza z Dominikánskej republiky, odkiaľ odišiel za prácou do USA, kde sa zoznámil s jeho slovenskou mamou.Láska k hokeju však u neho zvíťazila nad bejzbalom či basketbalom, ktoré sú v karibskej oblasti omnoho populárnejšie. Ak by ste si však mysleli, že ho exotické korene predurčujú k južanskej ležérnosti na ľade, ste na omyle. Za jeho obrovskou súťaživosťou a dravosťou stojí práve prísna výchova.„Otec ma nikdy nenechal vyhrať a kvôli tomu som taký súťaživý človek. Vždy chcem byť lepší, vždy chcem byť jednoducho ja ten najlepší, a keď nie som, tak ma to tak serie.“Týmito slovami priznáva talentovaný mladík, ktorého v kabíne nikto neosloví inak ako Leo, svoju nezdolnú mentalitu. Práve tá ho ženie vpred a pomáha mu prekonávať aj prekážky, akými sú napríklad predsudky o ideálnej výške moderného brankára. Svoj hendikep nahrádza extrémnou atletickosťou a nasadením, vďaka čomu patrí k top brankárom vo svojej kategórii.Brankár, ktorý strieľa góly a robí anjelov na ľadeV rozhovore sa nevyhol ani spomienkam na svoje doterajšie pôsobenie v zámorí. Prechod do náročnej americkej súťaže nebol pre neho vôbec jednoduchý. Hneď v prvom zápase čelil krajanovi Alexovi Mišiakovi a americký štýl hokeja mu dal poriadne zabrať.Rýchlosť, s akou sa hra prelievala zo strany na stranu, ho spočiatku šokovala a sám priznal, že mal chuť vrátiť sa domov. Všetko si však rýchlo sadlo a Roberto Henriquez sa postaral o moment, na ktorý do konca života nezabudne. Ako jeden z mála brankárov si totiž pripísal na konto strelený gól cez celé klzisko.„Vystrelil som a mal som pocit, že to bolo asi 20-minútové ticho. Ja som nechápal. Puk padol na ľad, videl som, že ide do bránky a všetci len že ‚ó môj bože!' Potom som dal gól a 8-tisíc ľudí len kričalo. Všetci na mňa skočili, ja som spadol a začal som robiť anjela na zemi.“Aj takéto historky dokazujú, že Roberto Henriquez nie je len tuctovým strážcom svätyne, ale obrovským šoumenom, ktorý si hokej užíva plnými dúškami a dokáže strhnúť tribúny na svoju stranu.Kľudná sila s inštinktom zabijakaDraftový deň priniesol mladému Slovákovi množstvo nervozity. Hoci ho niektoré rebríčky pasovali do druhého kola, nakoniec si musel počkať až na záverečné fázy. Voľba Bostonu Bruins je však pre neho splneným snom, najmä s ohľadom na to, že jeho kroky budú smerovať do prestížnej univerzitnej ligy NCAA práve v tomto meste.Roberto Henriquez v podcaste podrobne rozoberá, prečo je pre brankárov univerzitná cesta často lepšou voľbou než kanadská juniorka, a vysvetľuje, ako mu defenzívnejší systém amerických univerzít pomáha v jeho brankárskom rozvoji.Na ľade pôsobí vyrovnane, no vo vnútri horí. Svoj štýl prirovnáva k menším, no o to výbušnejším brankárom. Inšpiráciu hľadá u Dustina Wolfa či Juuseho Sarosa, no obdivuje aj chladnokrvnosť a auru slávneho Careyho Pricea.„V bránke som taký pohodičkový. Na striedačke srandujeme s chalanmi, ale keď je čas ísť, tak idem na sto percent.“Zaujíma vás, prečo sa Roberto Henriquez nikdy nevzdáva, ako vníma brankársku konkurenciu na Slovensku, alebo prečo by si najradšej obliekol dres proti najväčším rivalom?

On prend du recul sur le rôle du PMM à travers les yeux d'une responsable Marketing & Revenue.Selma, CRO chez Agorapulse partage sa vision de la fonction et les situations dans lesquelles elle crée le plus de valeur pour l'entreprise. Elle revient aussi sur un choix organisationnel fort chez Agorapulse : déplacer l'équipe PMM initialement au Produit sous son aile, puis faire évoluer progressivement son périmètre vers une équipe Go-To-Market qui ne se limite plus aux recommandations stratégiques, mais qui porte les sujets de bout en bout, de l'analyse du marché à l'exécution, avec des KPI directement liés au business.Selma nous partage des exemples concrets de collaboration avec le content, la lead gen et la brand pour arrêter de se marcher dessus mais aussi de ce qui permet à un PMM d'obtenir une place à la table des décisions.Enfin, elle revient sur plusieurs pivots de carrière qui ont marqué son parcours et partage ses réflexions pour faire des choix professionnels qui semblent contre-intuitif mais qui permettent de progresser sur le long terme.Si vous cherchez à renforcer votre impact business en tant que PMM, à confronter vos idées reçues et à mieux comprendre ce que la fonction Product Marketing  peut apporter à une organisation, cet épisode va vous donner quelques pistes de réflexion.Bonne écoute.RESSOURCES

They also slog through maybe half a percent of the response videos in the quest for one that has more to say than “trust me, bro.” They wrap up with an attempt to give veteran Stereophile technical editor John Atkinson the tribute he deserved upon the announcement of his retirement.

La pronuncia è spesso l'aspetto più trascurato nello studio dell'italiano — eppure è la prima cosa che un madrelingua nota. Esistono errori legati a caratteristiche dell'italiano che non esistono in molte altre lingue: quasi tutti gli studenti li commettono, ma una volta riconosciuti è possibile correggerli. Non Commettere Questi Errori di Pronuncia in Italiano Errore 1: L'Accento Sbagliato nella Terza Persona Plurale In italiano, l'accento tonico — cioè la sillaba su cui cade il "peso" della parola — cade di norma sulla penultima sillaba. Esiste però una grande eccezione: le terze persone plurali dei verbi, cioè le forme con "loro". Molti studenti, seguendo la regola della penultima sillaba, pronunciano: «loro scrivono» con accento su -vo- → scri-VO-no «loro leggono» con accento su -go- → leg-GO-no La pronuncia corretta è invece: «loro SCRIvono» → accento sulla terzultima sillaba «loro LEGgono» → accento sulla terzultima sillaba La regola: nelle terze persone plurali, l'accento non cade mai sulla penultima sillaba, ma sempre sulla terzultima — o anche prima. Il Trucco: Pensa alla Prima Persona Singolare L'accento nella terza persona plurale cade esattamente nella stessa posizione della prima persona singolare (io): «io SCRIvo» → «loro SCRIvono» «io LEGgo» → «loro LEGgono» «io DORmo» → «loro DORmono» «io PARlo» → «loro PARlano» Esistono anche verbi in cui l'accento alla prima persona singolare cade sulla terzultima sillaba o ancora prima. In questi casi il plurale segue la stessa posizione: «io Àbito» → «loro Àbitano» — non «a-bi-TA-no» «io co-MÙ-ni-co» → «loro co-MÙ-ni-ca-no» — non «co-mu-ni-CA-no» «io DÌ-men-ti-co» → «loro DÌ-men-ti-ca-no» — non «di-men-ti-CA-no» Poiché in italiano non si scrive l'accento grafico su queste parole, non esiste una regola visiva di supporto. L'unico modo per interiorizzare questi accenti è ascoltare tanto italiano e abituare l'orecchio nel tempo. Errore 2: La Lettera Z — Due Suoni in una Sola Lettera La lettera Z è la più imprevedibile dell'alfabeto italiano: può avere due suoni completamente diversi. Z "dura": è la combinazione TS pronunciata in modo fuso, rapidamente — come se T e S diventassero un suono unico. Le corde vocali non vibrano. Z "morbida": è la combinazione DZ pronunciata in modo fuso. Qui le corde vocali vibrano. Per distinguerle, si può appoggiare la mano alla gola: con la Z "morbida" si sente una vibrazione, con la Z "dura" no. È la stessa differenza che esiste tra F (nessuna vibrazione) e V (vibrazione). Esempi con la Z "Dura" (TS fusi) «pizza» → pi-TZa «stazione» → sta-TZIO-ne «grazie» → GRA-tzie «silenzio» → si-LEN-tzio «pazienza» → pa-TZIEN-tza Esempi con la Z "Morbida" (DZ fusi) «zaino» → DZai-no «zero» → DZe-ro «mezzo» → MED-dzo «realizzare» → rea-li-DZZA-re «zona» → DZO-na Regole Utili per Orientarsi Quando la Z è all'inizio di parola, nella maggior parte dei casi è Z "morbida": «zero, zona, zaino, zucchero, zio». Il suffisso -zione vuole sempre la Z "dura": «situazione, conversazione, attenzione, nazione». La sequenza Z + I + vocale vuole la Z "dura": «grazie, pulizia, agenzia, silenzio, anziano». Il suffisso -izzare e tutte le sue forme coniugate vogliono la Z "morbida": «realizzare → io realizzo, lui realizza, loro realizzano» — Z "morbida" in tutte le forme. Eccezione importante: la parola «azienda» sembra seguire la regola della sequenza Z+I+vocale — e quindi dovrebbe avere la Z "dura". Invece no: azienda ha la Z "morbida" → a-DZIEN-da. È un'eccezione da memorizzare a parte. Curiosità: moltissimi stranieri pronunciano «pizza» con la Z "morbida", come «pi-DDZA». La pronuncia corretta è invece «pi-TTZA», con la Z "dura". Anche la parola più famosa d'Italia viene pronunciata male nel mondo intero. Errore 3: Le Lettere che Si Scrivono ma Non Si Pronunciano Uno degli aspetti più insidiosi dell'italiano è la presenza di lettere che si scrivono ma sono completamente mute. Molti studenti le pronunciano perché le vedono scritte — ma si tratta di un errore. I Gruppi CIA/CIO/CIU e GIA/GIO/GIU Nei gruppi CIA, CIO, CIU e GIA, GIO, GIU, la I non si pronuncia. La sua unica funzione è segnalare che la C o la G si pronunciano con suono morbido — come la CH di «cheese» o la J di «jump» in inglese. La I è solo un segnale visivo. «ciao» → si pronuncia CHAO — la I non si sente «cioccolato» → CIOC-co-la-to, con suono morbido CH — I muta «giacca» → JAC-ca — I muta «gioco» → JO-co — I muta «Giovanni» → Jo-VAN-ni — I muta Il Gruppo SCIA/SCIO/SCIU Stesso discorso per SCIA, SCIO, SCIU: la I è muta e serve solo a far pronunciare SC con il suono SH — come «she» o «shower» in inglese. «sciarpa» → SHAR-pa — la I non si pronuncia «sciocco» → SHOC-co — I muta «asciugare» → a-SHU-ga-re — I muta Le I "Storiche" — il Caso Più Insidioso In alcune parole la I si scrive per ragioni storiche: nella parola latina originale si pronunciava, ma in italiano moderno è completamente muta. Non esiste una regola visiva di supporto — bisogna semplicemente saperlo. «scienza» → si pronuncia SHÈN-tza, non SHIÈN-tza — la I non si sente «coscienza» → co-SHÈN-tza — I muta «società» → so-che-TÀ — I muta «igiene» → i-JÈ-ne — I muta «specie» → SPÈ-che — I muta Curiosità: la parola «conoscenza» non ha nessuna I, eppure si pronuncia esattamente come la parte finale di «coscienza». Questo dimostra che quella I in «coscienza» è inutile dal punto di vista della pronuncia — esiste solo per ragioni storiche. Un Caso Speciale: i Plurali in -CIE e -GIE Il plurale di «camicia» è «camicie» — con la I. Quello di «valigia» è «valigie» — ancora con la I. Questa I si pronuncia? No, è muta anche qui. Ma allora perché si scrive? Per una regola ortografica precisa: si scrive la I se la sillaba precedente finisce per vocale. «va-LI-gia» → la sillaba -li- finisce per vocale → plurale: «va-LI-gie» (I scritta, ma muta) «ca-MI-cia» → la sillaba -mi- finisce per vocale → plurale: «ca-MI-cie» (I scritta, ma muta) «a-RAN-cia» → la sillaba -ran- finisce per consonante → plurale: «a-RAN-ce» (senza I) «TOR-cia» → la sillaba -tor- finisce per consonante → plurale: «TOR-ce» (senza I) Questa regola riguarda solo la scrittura, non la pronuncia — ma è utile anche per evitare errori ortografici. Errore 4: I Gruppi GL e GN — Suoni che Non Esistono in Molte Lingue Il Gruppo "GLI" Il gruppo GLI non si pronuncia come G + L + I separatamente: è un unico suono prodotto con la lingua premuta contro il palato. A seconda della propria lingua madre, si può avvicinare a questo suono in modi diversi: Spagnolo castigliano: simile alla LL di «llegar» o «llamar» Portoghese: simile alla LH di «filho» Inglese: il suono centrale di «million» — quel «ly» nel mezzo è molto vicino al GLI italiano Esempi pratici: «figlio» → fi-LYO (lingua sul palato) «famiglia» → fa-MI-lya «aglio» → A-lyo «voglio» → VO-lyo «meglio» → ME-lyo Errore comune: molti pronunciano «figlio» separando le lettere — «fig-lio», con G e L distinte. Il suono deve essere invece unico e fluido. Il Gruppo "GN" Anche GN è un suono unico. Per avvicinarsi a questo suono a partire da diverse lingue: Spagnolo: identico alla Ñ di «mañana» Francese: come la GN di «champagne» Inglese: il suono «ny» nel mezzo di «canyon» Esempi pratici: «gnocchi» → NYOc-chi «bagno» → BA-nyo «signore» → si-NYO-re «cognome» → co-NYO-me «montagna» → mon-TA-nya GN è sempre un suono solo — mai G + N separati. Errore 5: Le Consonanti Doppie In molte lingue, come l'inglese, le lettere doppie si scrivono ma non cambiano il suono. In italiano invece la doppia allunga fisicamente il suono della consonante — e questo non è solo una questione fonetica: la doppia può cambiare completamente il significato della parola. SingolaSignificatoDoppiaSignificatonononumero ordinale 9°nonnopadre del proprio padrepenatristezza, dolorepennastrumento per scriveresetevoglia di beresetteil numero 7caroamato, o costosocarroveicolo trainato da animalicapelloun singolo pelo della testacappellocopricapo La doppia si pronuncia semplicemente allungando il suono della consonante — come se ci fosse una piccola pressione su quella consonante prima di continuare: «pena» → N normale  |  «penna» → N allungata: pen...na «sete» → T normale  |  «sette» → T allungata: set...te «caro» → R normale  |  «carro» → R allungata: car...ro Nota: quando gli italiani parlano velocemente, le doppie si sentono meno. Questo può rendere difficile riconoscerle all'ascolto. Nel parlare, però, è sempre meglio pronunciarle con chiarezza: un madrelingua preferirà sentirle leggermente esagerate piuttosto che non sentirle affatto. Domande Frequenti Come Faccio a Sapere Dove Cade l'Accento nella Terza Persona Plurale? Il modo più efficace è pensare alla prima persona singolare (io): l'accento cade nella stessa posizione. Per esempio, se si sa che si dice «io PARlo», si può dedurre che la forma corretta è «loro PARlano» e non «loro parLAno». Per i verbi meno comuni, l'unica strategia affidabile è ascoltare tanto italiano parlato. Esiste una Regola per Distinguere la Z "Dura" dalla Z "Morbida"? Sì, esistono alcune indicazioni utili: la Z all'inizio di parola è quasi sempre "morbida"; il suffisso -zione vuole sempre la Z "dura"; la sequenza Z+I+vocale vuole la Z "dura"; il suffisso -izzare e tutte le sue forme vogliono la Z "morbida". Fanno eccezione alcune parole come «azienda», che va memorizzata a parte. Perché Alcune I Si Scrivono ma Non Si Pronunciano? Per due motivi diversi. In alcuni casi — come in «ciao» o «gioco» — la I serve come segnale visivo per indicare che la C o la G si pronunciano con suono morbido....

In this special guest episode, Ben Drake (head of motion) and Shaw Flick (creative director and head of writing) of Pennant Video join the Monday Meeting team to talk about how motion designers can think like writers—from daily writing habits to hooks, structure, and saying more with fewer words.This episode covers:Writing as thinking, not word smithing: Why the real skill is finding the underlying message and structuring ideas—and the daily morning practice that builds it.The writing/motion overlap: Patterns, contrast, rhythm, transitions, problem-and-resolution—how the writer and the animator are solving the same problems.Less words on screen: Why mirroring the VO hurts retention, how text length quietly drives runtime, and where on-screen words actually earn their place.Pennant's mid-funnel approach: The "video marketing trifecta"—differentiation, demonstration, validation—and the anthem, explainer, and testimonial work it shapes.Live script reads as a client unlock: Reading a first draft aloud on the call instead of emailing it—and why it beats the ChatGPT scripts clients tend to send.Start with the goal, not the deliverable: Digging into what a video needs to do before any craft call, with a Datavant trade-show piece that turned "powered by AI" into a turbine-engine metaphor.Hooks that actually pull people in: Bucketing ideas into themes, generating in your own head over a chatbot, lenses like "list and twist," and a book recommendation for silencing your "inner ding-dong."Upcoming Events:Next Open Discussion: July 13th (second Monday of each month)Next Game Night: July 29th (last Wednesday of every month, possibly debuting Mecha Chameleon!)Visit MondayMeeting.org for this episode and other conversations from the motion design community!SHOW NOTES:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Monday Meeting Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Monday Meeting Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MondayMeeting LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MondayMeeting Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MondayMeeting Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MondayMeeting Newsletter⁠Pennant VideoPennant Video "Trust Issues Vol 1"Datavant videoA Self-Help Guide for Copywriters by Dan NelkenEverybody Writes by Ann HandleyDo Interesting by Russel DaviesHey Whipple, Squeeze This by Luke SullivanManifesto WritingSony Trapper's of Time

Episode Chapter Summaries Chapter 1: The Roar of Madison Square Garden (00:00 – 02:57) Anne welcomes voice talent and business coach Tom Dheere back to the show. Tom explains his exhaustion, revealing that his neighborhood turned into a massive celebration zone after the New York Knicks won the NBA Championship. Anne shares a parallel memory of experiencing the World Cup celebration in Italy. They note how easy it is to get swept up in a major public triumph, sparking a deep conversation about the hidden work required behind a massive, visible victory. Chapter 2: What is Your Personal Championship? (02:58 – 04:31) Anne and Tom explore how success is rarely an accidental event. Tom challenges listeners to establish their own custom definition of "winning the championship." For a new voice actor, a title might mean booking their first paid gig, securing a national commercial, qualifying for SAG-AFTRA, or generating enough revenue to transition from a full-time day job to part-time creative work. Chapter 3: The Micro-Decision Metric & The Astronaut Analogy (04:32 – 08:25) Tom delivers a powerful perspective shift: your life and your VO career are not highlight reels. True career growth is built entirely on the micro-decisions made in the quiet moments between the milestones. Tom uses an excellent analogy comparing two college students who both want to be astronauts. Assuming equal talent and resources, the student who chooses to stay at their desk studying night after night while friends head to the pub is the one who ultimately makes it to space. Anne relates this to her personal struggle with college calculus, explaining how facing difficult, un-glamorous work builds mandatory professional humility. Chapter 4: Repetition, Homework, and the "Miyagi" Effect (08:26 – 10:25) Anne and Tom discuss the necessity of balancing the quantity of your practice with the quality of your execution. Tom references the classic Karate Kid metaphor: when Mr. Miyagi forces Daniel to paint the fence repetitively, it feels tedious and useless until that exact physical muscle memory becomes his primary shield in battle. Anne notes that this is exactly why she assigns heavy homework to her students, explaining that the real growth happens in the isolated, un-directed hours spent experiencing diverse scripts, handling audio editing, and analyzing text independently between coaching sessions. Chapter 5: Defining a Perfect VO Day & Tracking Patterns (10:26 – 14:43) Tom reveals the very first exercise he gives to his consulting students: detailing what a "perfect voiceover day" looks like, and then breaking down the 82 pre-season steps needed to make that day a reality. They treat auditions like individual games in a long season. Tom highlights why tracking your auditions is vital—not to obsess over your booking ratio, but to gather meta-data. By analyzing his past "thumbs up" ranking scores on Voice 123, Tom discovered a pattern: his primary booking keyword is "upbeat." He now uses that data to specifically filter and prioritize incoming casting notices. Chapter 6: Audition Desperation & The Character Accent Myth (14:44 – 20:20) Anne shares that her highest-booking auditions are consistently the ones she didn't over-analyze or obsess over, allowing her to deliver a natural, storytelling-focused read. Tom explains the corporate psychology behind this: buyers can smell performance desperation. He calls out a major cultural trend where new talent obsess over pitch adjustments and complex accents for animation or gaming, warning that dialects mean nothing if the underlying performance lacks real human connection. Tom uses his background narrating over 70 audiobooks to explain that a heavy accent should never get in the way of a compelling story. Chapter 7: The Production Team & The 3 Ps of Success (20:21 – End) Using basketball as a launching point, Anne and Tom examine the many moving pieces that contribute to a successful voiceover career and production. Together, they discuss the importance of teamwork, adaptability, and professionalism, and why the most successful voice actors learn to balance artistic fulfillment with business realities. Drawing on more than 38 years of combined full-time experience, they conclude with a powerful framework for career longevity: Passion, Practice, and Persistence—the 3 Ps that have helped sustain their own careers and countless others. Top 10 Boss Takeaways Define your own title: Success in the voiceover marketplace is personal. Do not measure your worth against someone else's trophy room; identify the specific professional milestones that equal a win for your business. Ditch the highlight reel mindset: Landmark moments like booking a major corporate client or launching a new website are rare. Your real business is formed by the quiet, un-glamorous work you execute on a rainy Tuesday morning. Master your micro-decisions: Longevity is built incrementally. Choosing to practice copy analysis, market your services, or clean your studio booth instead of succumbing to distractions is the daily habit that separates astronauts from dreamers. The lesson is in the doing: Do not rely on your coach to hand-hold your development. True vocal authority is forged through repetitive script interaction, self-direction, and navigating audio editing hurdles independently. Treat auditions like game tape: Use your submissions as a tool to collect raw data. Track where your auditions originate, identify the performance specifications, and look for structural trends over a 60-to-90-day window. Let the algorithm guide your focus: Platforms like Voice 123 reward positive listener interactions. Analyze your "likes" or shortlisted notices to discover your signature vocal keywords, and use that data to target similar copy. Drop the desperation: The harder you try to force a performative "announcer" melody onto a script, the faster a client will pass on your file. Ground your energy, lean into the narrative truth, and read without artificial worry. Acting outweighs accents: A casting director will instantly forgive an imperfect dialect if the character feels deeply connected, present, and humanly engaged. Prioritize psychological truth over vocal impressions. You are a player, not the whole team: Remember that a voice actor is one specific cog in a much larger production wheel. Show up to sessions directable, pleasant, organized, and ready to collaborate with engineers and directors. Harness the power of the 5-year wall: If you can commit to the industry, learn from your failures, and actively market your booth for longer than five consecutive years, your statistical probability of long-term commercial success skyrockets.

„Nie je tu ľahké obmedziť niekoho na jednoduchú materiálnu starosť o živobytie; i ten najobyčajnejší remeselník tu občas vrhá chtivé a kradmé pohľady do vyššieho sveta inteligencie. Nečíta sa tu v rovnakom duchu a rovnakým spôsobom ako v aristokratických spoločnostiach, ale okruh čitateľov sa neustále rozširuje a nakoniec zahŕňa všetkých občanov. (...) Počet tých, ktorí pestujú vedu, literatúru a umenie, nadobúda obrovský rozsah. Vo svete inteligencie vzniká zázračná aktivita; každý sa usiluje preraziť si sem cestu a snaží sa tiež upútať pozornosť publika. (...) diela sú tu často nedokonalé, ale nespočetné. A hoci je výsledok individuálneho úsilia často veľmi malý, celkový výsledok je vždy mimoriadne veľký.“ Takto francúzsky politický filozof Alexis de Tocqueville pred takmer dvoma storočiami charakterizoval americký postoj ku kultúre a umeniu. Postoj, ktorý by sme mohli azda aj hyperbolizovať do onej okrídlenej vety, ktorú všetci dobre poznáme: „No, i skladník ve šroubárně si může přečíst Vergilia v originále“. Skrátka, právo na svoj hoc i nepatrný podiel a prístup ku kultúre ma každý, bez rozdielu pôvodu a postavenia. Inými slovami, demokratizmus dorazil aj sem. Aktuálne sa blížiace 250. výročie vzniku Spojených štátov amerických je aj príležitosťou na bilancovanie – bilancovanie príbehu superveľmoci. Okrem ekonomického potenciálu, vojenskej sily a politického vplyvu je tu ešte niečo iné, možno menej do očí bijúce, ale o to prítomnejšie po celom svete. Politológovia by azda vytiahli termín „soft power“, ale my sa držme známeho slovného spojenia – americká popkultúra. A priraďme k nej hneď niekoľko otázok. V čom je výnimočná? Prečo sa niektorí Európania stále na ňu dívajú s istou dávkou dešpektu, hoci jej podiel na celkovej kultúrnej spotrebe je globálny a výrazne dominantný? A aké boli vlastne míľniky na ceste k jej úspechu? Jaro Valent sa v podcaste Dejiny rozpráva s Jurajom Malíčkom.

We're on Patreon! Find us at https://www.patreon.com/AudioUnleashed This week, Brent and Dennis dig into a review of Sonarworks' SoundID Virtual Monitoring PRO system, which aims to go toe-to-toe with the Smyth Realiser for a tenth of the cost. Is this, at long last, a practical and effective way to simulate speakers through headphones? Then they dig into the coverage of High End Vienna to discuss the venue change and the coolest new products shown at the show, and confidently opine about the current relevance (or not) of B&W and JBL. After that, they talk about sound systems as an aesthetic vibe completely divorced from their function as sound systems. Are audiophiles suddenly hip? (Spoiler: No.)

2026-06-22 Update From Anne: This conversation with Hunter Peterson was recorded before the bankruptcy court bidding process discussed in the interview had concluded. Since then, plans have changed -  Hunter and his team are now focused on building a brand-new airline rather than acquiring an existing one.   One thing I've learned from talking with entrepreneurs over the years is that the path to success is rarely a straight line. Sometimes the most exciting opportunities come from adapting, pivoting, and embracing a new vision. I'm so excited to see where this next chapter takes him, and I'm super grateful he shared his journey with us. I'm looking forward to welcoming him back to the podcast and hearing how things progress. Enjoy the episode!   From the VO booth to billions of impressions! In this extraordinary episode of the VO Boss Podcast, Anne Ganguzza sits down with voice actor, content producer, and creative entrepreneur Hunter Peterson. Hunter breaks down his viral movement, Spirit 2.0 (Let's Buy Spirit), which has captured 19.5 billion impressions and evolved into a legitimate corporate contender in bankruptcy court.   Discover how Hunter applied the core mechanics of voice acting, content strategy, and digital storytelling to mobilize an army of investors. He shares the raw, chaotic realities of real-time entrepreneurial pivots, navigating intense SEC regulations, overcoming massive public missteps, and why human accountability is the ultimate secret weapon to beating traditional private equity.   What you'll learn in this episode: The precise viral content math Hunter used to test his record-breaking videos. Why Hunter went from hating Spirit Airlines to leading a movement to buy it. The chilling complexities of purchasing an Airline Operating Certificate (AOC) out of bankruptcy. Why you don't need a flawless plan to launch a successful business.  

Hey there, hero!I was just on a call with a potential VO client, and the conversation got around to limiting beliefs in general, and in particular, those excuses we come up with so we don't have to try.This is nothing new. People have been afraid of failure since humans became humans.We look at the potential for failure, and then spend a lot of time creating a story or seven around why we can just take a nap instead.It's risky to try something new.So what stories are you telling yourself so you don't even need to try something new?

Slovensko sa tejto vlády musí zbaviť čo najskôr. Vedenie SMERu zrástlo s oligarchiou a vstúpil do toho i Robert Fico. Premiéra pravidlá demokracie vyrušujú, ministri sú údržbári a budúcnosť štátu je im úplne ukradnutá. Takto to hodnotí po 20. rokoch od prvého vládnutia SMERU jeden zo zakladateľov Boris Zala. Ako sa z tejto “tretej cesty” stal stroj obsluhujúci záujmy vlastných ľudí či oligarchie?Práve pred 20 rokmi po prvá raz zasadol do premiérskeho kresla Robert Fico. Z kedysi ambiciózneho politika tzv. Tretej cesty sa však postupom času stal unavený patrón klientelistického štátu no a Slovensko sa pod jeho vedením mení na čoraz viac sa rozpadajúci Potemkin. Ako sa zo strany protestu voči Mečiarovi i Dzurindovi stal už len unavený stroj obsluhujúci výlučne záujmy “našich ľudí,” ktorý úplne rezignoval na moderný sociálny štát? A je Robert Fico dnes už iba bábkou v rukách oligarchie a straníckej partokracie? Vo veľmi otvorenom rozhovore pre Ráno Nahlas na to odpovie jeden zo zakladateľov SMERu a bývalý predseda Sociálnych demokratov Boris Zala.V týchto dňoch, práve pred dvadsiatimi rokmi po prvý raz triumfoval Smer vo voľbách a jeho predseda Robert Fico po prvý raz zasadol do kresla premiéra. Vtedy ešte s víziou modernej tretej cesty, kde novopečený premiér deklaroval ambíciu vytvoriť zo Slovenska silný sociálny štát, ktorý bude garantovať dôstojný život pre každého občana.Dnes však médiá - namiesto dôstojnosti nás všetkých, riešia dôstojnosť života príbuzných či blízkych Roberta Fica - ako i ďalších vplyvných straníkov, pričom na Slovensku žije podľa oficiálnych štatistík takmer milión ľudí pod hranicou príjmovej chudoby a sociálnej vylúčenosti.Po dvoch dekádach jeho takmer nepretržitého vládnutia sa tak pôvodný sen o slovenskej sociálnej demokracii rozplynul v realite nacionálneho populizmu, systémového klientelizmu ako i čoraz viac upadajúceho štátu. Dve desaťročia dominancie jednej strany zanechali na Slovensku hlbokú stopu, no namiesto skutočného sociálneho štátu dnes čelíme rekordnému zadlžovaniu, sociálne necitlivej konsolidácií a prejedaniu vlastnej budúcnosti. Vládna moc si cez plošné rozdávačské balíčky už celé roky opakovane kupuje voličské hlasy, zatiaľ čo kľúčové systémy štátu ako zdravotníctvo či školstvo zlyhávajú a pomoc ľudia namiesto štátu hľadajú v internetovej charite.Od “SMERom k ľuďom,” ako znelo prvé predvolebné heslo Smeru sa tak táto strana prepracovala k realite smerovania k "našim ľuďom". Hanákove Papierové hlavy sa vrátili.Je toto ešte stále autentická ľavica, alebo sa slovami Roberta Kaliňáka “transformovala” do sofistikovaného klientského štátu, ktorý namiesto pravidiel a výkonu odmieňa slepú stranícku lojalitu? Kam sa za tých 20 rokov posunul samotný Robert Fico a prečo namiesto moderného európskeho štátu vybudoval systém politických trafík, hľadania nepriateľov, vyvolávania konfliktov a koketovania s extremizmom?Ráno Nahlas s bývalým poslancom, europoslancom a jedným zo zakladateľov SMERu Borisom Zalom. Pekný deň a pokoj v duši praje Braňo Dobšinský.

La VMA est probablement le chiffre qui obsède le plus les coureurs français.Depuis plus de 30 ans, des générations de runners la mesurent, la comparent et cherchent à l'améliorer. Mais au fond, que mesure réellement la VMA ? D'où vient-elle ? Quelle différence avec la VO₂max ? Et surtout, est-elle vraiment le meilleur indicateur de performance ?Dans cet épisode, nous remontons à l'origine de l'une des plus grandes obsessions du running français.

Are voice actors now expected to be on call 24/7, travel with gear everywhere they go, and never miss an audition? That's the question audiobook and narration voice actor Amy Tallmadge brought to Marc Scott after hearing some interesting conversations at VO Atlanta - and the answer might give you permission to actually enjoy your next vacation. Marc gives his honest take on whether the industry has genuinely changed its expectations, or whether something else is really driving the always-on mentality that so many voice actors feel. Inside this episode: Whether the 24/7 on-call expectation is a real industry shift or mostly FOMO in disguise Which voiceover genres actually do have higher availability requirements - and why commercial in general is not one of them The grocery store story - how FOMO over missed auditions drove Marc off pay-to-play sites entirely How early delivery built Marc's business fast - and what the old guard had to say about it Whether casting directors really listen to every audition - and what that means for the ones you submit late Marc's practical travel kit setup for when you do want to record on the road Why Amy's return to commercial VO may have fewer barriers than she thinks You get to decide what kind of voice actor career you want to build. This episode is a reminder that the industry isn't taking that choice away from you.

Episode Chapter Summaries Chapter 1: The Cosmic Zipper — From Silicon Valley to Telltale Games (00:01 – 04:13) Anne introduces BAFTA award-winning actor Cissy Jones, listing her massive credits across the video game landscape. Cissy shares her unique origin story, starting not in theater, but in the fast-paced venture capital world of Silicon Valley. Despite an early childhood calling to act, she followed corporate expectations until a profound sense of unhappiness led her to a voiceover school. Cissy introduces her concept of the "cosmic zipper"—that beautiful alignment where life clicks together once you finally uncover your true purpose. Within two years of rigorous study, she booked her first massive multi-character rolepacket as Katya in Telltale Games' The Walking Dead. Chapter 2: The Ultimate Boss Move & The Impact of the Mic (04:14 – 07:47) Anne pauses to highlight an incredible tactical move from Cissy's early days: learning how to engineer audioaudio engineer sessions when she couldn't afford a class ticket, allowing her to stay in the casting room and absorb director feedback through osmosis. Cissy highlights her deep appreciation for characters like Lilith in Disney's The Owl House. She recounts emotional fan interactions at Comic-Cons, where parents and children shared how her character's arc helped them process their own queer or neurodivergent identities, reinforcing the true purpose of human storytelling. Chapter 3: Mastering Storytelling & Leaning Into Vulnerability (07:48 – 11:44) Anne asks Cissy what internal mechanics make a voice actor a master storyteller. Cissy credits her willingness to tap deeply into intense, unshielded human emotion on demand. She offers a crucial piece of advice for talent exploring the character and interactive space: when a script calls for real, raw emotion, do not paint over it with cartoony comedy. Voice actors must lean courageously into authentic psychological vulnerability while carefully managing their own mental well-being when a heavy scene leaves them emotionally drained. Chapter 4: The 3-Second Threat & The AI Wake-Up Call (11:45 – 17:31) The conversation turns to advocacy as Cissy recounts a terrifying experience during the 2021 COVID lockdown. Fans alerted her to AI voice clone platforms generating pornographic content using her vocal likeness from The Owl House. When she demanded a takedown, the platforms refused, citing a complete lack of protective voice laws. Cissy breaks down a jarring technological reality: in 2021, creating a believable vocal clone required roughly 10 hours of studio audio; today, it takes just 3 seconds. She highlights why NAVA is actively working with legislators to target security loopholes, citing an experiment where NAVA co-founder Karin Gilfrey successfully bypassed her personal bank security using an AI clone of her own voice. Chapter 5: Ethovox — Creating a Safe Haven Under Lock and Key (17:32 – 24:03) Drawing on her technical venture capital background, Cissy shares why she refused to sit idly by and instead launched her own ethical AI startup called Ethovox. Unlike predatory public marketplaces that ingest and trade off voice talent data, Ethovox operates as a highly secure, private repository. The company explicitly mandates full actor consent, works hand-in-hand with talent agencies to negotiate fair rates, and refuses to sell baseline training data. Cissy reveals a massive boss move: walking away from a lucrative seven-figure institutional funding offer because the investors admitted they did not care if voice actors survived. Chapter 6: The Fight in D.C. & How the VO Community Can Help (24:04 – End) Cissy praises NAVA's leadership—specifically Tim Friedlander, CKarin Gilfrey, and Matthew Parham—for their relentless, bipartisan legislative efforts in Washington, D.C., to pass protections such aspushes in Washington, D.C. to pass protections like the federal No Fakes Act. She stresses that while Washington politicians may not inherently care about actors, they care deeply about cybersecurity risks and digital identity theft affecting their voters. The episode wraps with an urgent call to action for the VO community to support NAVA through membership dues, alongside an invitation to participate in NAVA's annual Day of Play charity streaming event. Top 10 Boss Takeaways Watch for the "Cosmic Zipper": If you are forcing a career path and constantly meeting friction and exhaustion, step back. When you strike the path you were truly meant to walk, the doors lock into place effortlessly. Immerse yourself through service: If you cannot afford premium training starting out, find alternative ways to be in the room. Learn to engineer, edit, or assist so you can witness directing choices and build organic network connections. Storytelling demands real human impact: Vocal mechanics mean absolutely nothing if your performance isn't reaching past the microphone to touch, change, or validate the human experience of the listener. Don't hide behind a cartoon read: When a script asks for deep psychological weight or heavy sorrow, do not soften the blow with safe, performative humor. Stand confidently in your vulnerability. Acknowledge the 3-second reality: Vocal cloning technology requires as little as 3 seconds of pristine audio—meaning your outgoing cell phone voicemail clip is enough to compromise security systems or clone your identity. AI needs ethical boundaries: Innovation cannot be stopped, but it must be met with the three foundational pillars of advocacy: absolute Consent, fair Compensation, and structural Control over personal vocal assets. Protect your core data: Avoid voice AI platforms that treat your unique biological voiceprint as disposable ammunition to train broader, open-source language models. Reputation over revenue: True leaders know when to walk away. Cissy's rejection of a massive seven-figure check because investors devalued human talent is the ultimate blueprint for protecting your personal integrity over a quick paycheck. Bipartisan framing is key in advocacy: When pushing for systemic change or workplace protections, leave personal political ideologies outside the room. Speak directly to staffers about the universal dangers of digital kidnapping, fraud, and corporate IP theft. A rising tide lifts all boats: Success in this industry is never a zero-sum game. There is plenty of room for creative minds to flourish. Lift your peers up, guard each other's rights, and protect the human element.

Masívne tunelovanie bánk či divoká Mečiarovská privatizácia. A najmä, absencia práva. I tak vyzerali 90. roky na Slovensku. To boli detské roky kapitalizmu. To, čo tu dialo, sa dialo všade vo svete - neraz v oveľa horšej podobe, tvrdí Igor Rattaj. Museli sme si tým prejsť, dodáva. Prečo je vládna Zonácia Tatier podľa neho prospešná a v čom Slovensko trápi závisť? Odpovie šéf TMR Igor Rattaj.Zonácia Tatier je dobrým kompromisom medzi cestovným ruchom a ochranou prírody. Predaj do Číny je haluz. TMR sa nič predávať nechystá, tvrdí v Ráno Nahlas šéf Tatry mountain resorts Igor Rattaj. Podľa neho je našim kľúčovým problémom Závisť. Voči úspešným a bohatým a i preto sme sa ocitli v slepej uličke. S tými starými to už nepostavime nikam. To bude len boj o voliča-dôchodcu - a skanzen. Problém bude, keď nám budú mladí ľudia odchádzať do zahraničia. Závisť je najmä u starších, mladí ju takmer necítia, tvrdí šéf TMR.Dlho očakávaná zonácia Tatier opäť narazila, tentoraz nohu do dverí vložila koaličná SNS. Tá obvinila vlastného ministra zo svojvôle a presadzovaniu záujmov oligarchov, ktorí by mohli mať zo schválenej podoby zonácie majetkový či podnikateľský prospech.Faktom je, že spor o budúcu podobu Tatier naplno obnažil zásadný konflikt medzi ochranou prírody a národného dedičstva na strane jednej a masovým turizmom a developerským biznisom na strane druhej.Proces je pritom sprevádzaný množstvom netransparentnosti a naráža i na masívnu kritiku mnohých vedcov, ochranárov, ale aj miestnych obyvateľov.Kto bude napokon zo schválených pravidiel profitovať a podarí sa udržať pri živote náš národné prírodný klenot ako aj jeho vzácne biotopy? Alebo naopak, otvoria sa dvere ďalším zjazdovkám, masívnemu umelému zasnežovaniu a presadzovania záujmov developerov? Kde presne končí legitímny zisk a kde začína skutočná zodpovednosti voči národnému dedičstvu?Ako to vidí jeden z kľúčových tatranských developerov, ktorí pred rokmi chcel Rakušanov učiť ako sa robí turistický biznis?No a o čom boli divoké 90. roky plné skrachovaných podnikateľských plánov postavených na vode, vytunelovaných fondov i bánk, hladových dolín, v ktorých prácu strácali celé generácie, ale aj úplnej straty vlády práva, absentujúcich zákonov a rozrastajúcej sa moci mafie prerastenej so štátom?V Ráne Nahlas na to odpovie šéf TMR - teda Tatry Mountain Resorts, Igor Rattaj. Pekný deň a pokoj v duši praje Braňo Dobšinský.

This week, Brent and Dennis are just asking questions. Questions such as: Do VU meters really make everything sound better? (Obviously, yes.) Can you do science if you don't even understand science? (Probably not on purpose!) If our music is going to be made by taste-making hacks using AI, does hi-fi even matter anymore? (Nerd fight!)

There is nothing we love more than a good listener question episode. It is the absolute best way for my Business Superpowers co-host, Lau Lapides, and me to connect directly with you bosses and dig into what you are actually experiencing in your daily business. Recently, we combed through a handful of listener questions, and one from a listener named Ben immediately stopped us in our tracks: "What are voice actors wasting the most time on right now?" Oh boy. Get comfortable, because Lau and I did not hold back. From the black hole of digital over-exposure to the exact mechanics of a genuine read, we broke down what you need to stop doing—and what you need to start focusing on—to take your business to the next level. Episode Chapter Summaries Chapter 1: The Trap of Self-Sabotage and Analysis Paralysis (00:01 – 04:10) Anne kicks off the listener Q&A with Ben's question about where voice talent waste the most time. Lau immediately calls out the silent killer of VO careers: intentional or unintentional self-sabotage. She describes how talent waste massive amounts of mental energy second-guessing auditions, wondering why they didn't get a booking, and obsessing over whether a client "liked" them. Anne shares how surviving cancer completely transformed her perspective in the booth, freeing her from minor anxieties and giving her permission to just have fun, audition, forget it, and move on. Chapter 2: Fantasizing vs. Actively Doing the Hard Work (04:11 – 07:53) Anne and Lau shift the spotlight to a different kind of time-wasting: thinking about the work instead of actually doing the work. They discuss talent who get trapped "fantasizing" about the perfect gig or complaining that they "just need to market more" without sending a single email. Lau warns that a wild creative imagination is a gift for acting, but a massive liability when it comes to the logical, disciplined day-to-day realities of running a small business, tracking invoices, and practicing script homework. Chapter 3: Digital Exposure, Brain Overload, and the Power of the "Share" (07:54 – 13:42) Lau introduces the danger of digital over-exposure and "dopamine addiction" online. Anne admits to the ongoing battle of keeping too many browser tabs open (shoutout to all the fashion buffs out there!), and Lau explains how overdosing on digital stimuli—even high-intensity entertainment like horror movies or daytime dramas—can alter your brain waves and derail your focus. To combat isolation and comparisonitis, they recommend building a tight-knit inner circle of colleagues to break your mental bubbles and celebrate wins constructively. Chapter 4: The Myth of the "Easy" Read and the Olympian Metaphor (13:43 – 16:44) The hosts tackle the frustrating reality that both new talent and bad clients minimize the value of voice acting because "it looks easy." Anne uses a great metaphor involving the Southern California lottery for Olympic tickets: elite gymnasts and swimmers make their movements look completely effortless, yet no one assumes they can jump onto a balance beam and replicate it. Professional voice acting requires the exact same unseen, high-level athletic discipline. Chapter 5: Gravitas, Empathy, and Decoupling the "Low Voice" (16:45 – 19:14) Anne raises another major listener question: What does authenticity actually sound like, and how does it relate to the industry's current obsession with "authority"? Lau notes that breakdown specs are constantly demanding "gravitas" and "assertiveness," especially for women. However, they debunk the myth that gravitas requires an artificially low pitch. True authority comes from a deep frame of reference and understanding your target market's specific culture—whether you are a 48-year-old corporate narrator or an 8-year-old expert talking about Pokémon. Chapter 6: The "physicating" Framework and Keeping Auditions Raw (19:15 – End) Anne breaks down the exact training method she teaches in her precision narration classes: acting is never a primary action; it is always an empathetic reaction to a problem. She shares her famous "Jersey Girl" driving example to outline her step-by-step performance framework: Breathe, Focus, Physicalize (or "Physicate"), and Speak. Lau and Anne close the show by urging talent to stop editing out the raw, human elements of their commercial and animation auditions, opting for a bit of authentic grit over artificial perfection. Top 10 Boss Takeaways Ditch the audition autopsy: Wondering why you didn't book a gig is a form of procrastination. Fire off the audition, forget it completely, and redirect that energy into your next project. Analysis leads to paralysis: Second-guessing the client's internal thoughts stops your creative momentum. Give yourself permission to fail forward. Discipline your imagination: Your creative brain is a beautiful tool for script interpretation, but keep it out of your business operations. Run your invoices, tech updates, and marketing with cold, hard logic. Guard your digital environment: Overdosing on social media scrolling and endless digital tabs alters your focus. Protect your mental health by setting strict boundaries on your screen time. Break the isolation bubble: When you find yourself trapped in a negative mental rerun, pick up the phone or hop on a call with a trusted business peer who can ground you back in reality. Immunity over insecurity: Stop letting other people's online wins trigger your insecurities. Use your community's success stories as a roadmap to learn what is currently working in the marketplace. Effortless execution takes years: If your delivery sounds like "just reading," you are doing it right. Treat the illusion of simplicity as a professional compliment, but never let a client use it to devalue your rates. Gravitas isn't a vocal register: True authority and credibility have absolutely nothing to do with how low your voice can go. True gravitas is rooted in confidence, presence, and direct connection. Master the art of "Physicating": Before you speak a single word of a script, run through Anne's four pillars: Breathe naturally, Focus on the unwritten moment before, Physicalize the reaction with your body, and then Speak. Keep it a little dirty: Stop turning in overly polished, perfectly scrubbed, sterile audio files for commercial and animation auditions. Leave the natural breaths and human imperfections in the track—casting directors want a real human being, not an algorithm.
