Podcasts about Wit

Welcome to this extra episode of the Leaders in Finance Podcast, recorded live after the third Leaders in Finance Compliance Event at the H'ART Museum in Amsterdam, where over 100 participants from more than 50 organisations came together to discuss the future of compliance in financial services, with a particular focus on AI, technology and crypto. Host Kees de Wit reflects on the day's key themes together with Leanne Joseph (moderator of the event), Tom van de Laar (Head of Financial Crime Compliance & Deputy Chief Compliance Officer, Rabobank), and Pieter van Doorn (Partner, Deloitte). Together, they discuss how rapidly developing technologies are changing the compliance profession, whether AI could eventually replace parts of the compliance function, and why human judgement will remain essential. They also reflect on the rise of crypto and neobanks, the impact of regulation such as MiCAR, and the continuing tension between innovation and effective oversight. And looking ahead: how can financial institutions, regulators and other public and private parties work together more effectively, build trust and respond with greater urgency to a rapidly changing financial landscape? A big thank you to all speakers, participants and our event partners for making this another inspiring edition of the Leaders in Finance Compliance Event. Leaders in Finance is made possible by the support of EY, Mogelijk Vastgoedfinancieringen, Duna and Lepaya. More information about our partners is available on our partner page.

My Guest: Daniel Lubetzky graduated from Stanford Law School. And then declined lucrative job offers to start his own business, only paying himself $24,000 a year for a decade. And then he founded KIND and grew it into a snack brand that Mars later valued at $5 billion dollars. Today he invests full-time on Shark Tank, and he's the son of a Holocaust survivor whose story shaped everything he's built. Find work that gives you energy, purpose, and meaning. If you enjoy what you're doing, you're far more likely to be great at it. And you're already winning, because you get up every morning doing something satisfying. The danger of loving your work is overworking. Daniel did it building PeaceWorks and KIND. You have to pace yourself. His father survived a death march out of Dachau. Twelve and a half when he entered the camp, fifteen and a half during the march. Six feet tall and under 70 pounds, and no shoes. The Nazis were walking prisoners up a mountain to push them off a cliff because they didn't have enough bullets. A snowstorm saved his life. His father, grandfather, and uncle hugged to say goodbye. The snow buried them and formed a kind of igloo that kept them warm through the night. They woke, dug out, and the Nazis were gone. The soldiers who liberated them were Japanese American. The 442nd, the most decorated unit of its size in American history, was made up of men whose own families were being held in internment camps back home. Daniel's family had never seen an Asian person and didn't understand what they were witnessing. Seventy years later, he got to say thank you. A friend called saying they were sitting with a doctor who had a postcard from Larry Lubetzky. That was Daniel's uncle, who had just died. Daniel reconnected with the captain, who had gone on to become a scientist at Harvard, and eventually gave a eulogy at his funeral. The lesson he takes from it isn't perseverance. It's the power of one person to change another person's life. You won't pull off a rescue every day. You can still look someone in the eye at the supermarket. "You have no idea what that person's been going through." Human connection is what pulls people back. At a conference on fighting hate, Daniel heard how young people vulnerable to recruitment were pulled back by ordinary human connection. Being kind in your daily life makes it harder for the people trying to recruit them. There's no such thing as failure or success. Daniel keeps shelves of successes in one office and shelves of failures in another, and now thinks the separation is a mistake. He never would have built KIND without ten years of mistakes at PeaceWorks. PeaceWorks was a college thesis turned into a company. The argument: get neighbors on opposite sides of a conflict doing business together, and you shatter stereotypes, build relationships, and give both sides a stake in each other. He got Israelis, Palestinians, Jordanians, Egyptians, and Turks trading with one another. Daniel turned down $86,000 out of Stanford Law to pay himself $24,000. That's what he could afford, and it's what he paid his team. Grit, wit, and fit. Grit is the work ethic and refusing to give up. Wit is the strategy, the creativity to outthink competitors. Fit is whether the product actually matches what people want. Grit alone isn't enough. Do not assume he was invincible. He cried alone in his studio apartment more than once, convinced he'd made a mistake and was wasting his life. He questioned himself multiple times a day. The jerk who broke him was also right. At a trade show, a buyer told him to stop, that he was way too pushy, to give people space and get out of his life. Daniel was 25 and it broke him. Then he reflected and realized the man was correct. Don't be the ultra-passive person watching the world happen. Don't be the person who only pushes. The job is to be persistent enough to win and be loved for it, which is very hard. "I prepare for anything that I'm not prepared for." Daniel loves winging it and hates preparing. But if there's something he doesn't know, he'll put in the work today, tomorrow, and the day after. Active listening takes real energy. Daniel needs an hour to decompress after every interview he conducts. He's blunt that listening isn't his greatest strength, which is exactly why he's leaning into it. His dad was the best interviewer he ever knew, because he was a coach. When Daniel asked him a question, his father would answer with another question and let him find it himself. A great coach or parent doesn't tell you what to do. They help you ask the questions you need to ask yourself. Telling is the easier skill. Kids keep you humble, and that's the point. You need someone in your life who can call you out when you start thinking too much of yourself, whether that's your kids, your spouse, or your team. KIND started because the healthy snack aisle didn't exist. Training for the 2002 New York City Marathon, Daniel's options were food that tasted like astronaut rations or pure indulgence. Nothing was portable, wholesome, and convenient at the same time. KIND was named after his father, who died the year they launched. Everyone who met him described him the same way. He saw his mission in life as bringing smiles to others. The name became the three pillars: kind to your body, kind to your taste buds, kind to the world. They took a vote on whether to quit. Six or seven people around a table, ten hard years behind them, a major account just lost. The choice was one more shot or two months to go find jobs. They all voted to try again. Then KIND launched. Sampling was the inflection point. Daniel had been treating it as a cost. It was an investment. They went from $800 in 2008 to $800,000 in 2009 to $20 million in free product within a few years, which is what let them scale. Sampling only works if the mousetrap is right. If one in ten people like it, you'll lose your shirt. Nine in ten people who tried a KIND bar wanted to buy more. Those people became the ambassadors. Scarcity, gluttony, and resourcefulness. A wasteful culture runs you into the ground. A scarcity mentality preserves every dollar but caps your potential, because everything looks like a cost center. Resourcefulness is the middle: think like an owner, spend less where you can, and invest where it compounds. Nice and kind are not the same thing. "If you're nice, it doesn't cost you. It's easy. You can be weak and nice. But to be kind, you need to be strong." Kindness requires you to be a protagonist. What Daniel looks for in a founder: Integrity. If he doesn't trust them, no amount of upside matters. Someone worth helping. It's going to be a rollercoaster, and he'll be in the trenches with them. Real passion. Enough that he can sense they'll outwork everyone else. You don't find integrity by asking about integrity. You ask other questions and watch how the person performs. Daniel says Barbara Corcoran is the best on the show at reading people this way. The four C's of a builder's mindset: curious, compassionate, creative, and courageous. Daniel credits them with building KIND, the OneVoice Movement, and everything since. Daniel's champagne moment a year from now: the Builders Movement making real progress. His argument is that every industry has a lobby representing it, and the only group without one is the overwhelming majority of citizens who agree with each other on most issues and want problems solved. He wants a movement that holds all parties and all special interests accountable to that majority. A scarcity mindset versus an abundance mindset. Viewing something as a cost instead of viewing it as an investment. This was Daniel's early mistake with Kind bars. He only budgeted $800 a year for samples. He viewed it as a cost. He changed his mind and realized it was an investment. He upped it to $800,000 per year in samples. And eventually to $20 million a year. Scarcity versus abundance. View it as an investment instead of a cost Daniel's 4 C's of a builder's mindset – curiosity, compassion, creativity, and courage for That's how you build both a company and a movement.  The difference between being nice and being kind. Being nice avoids conflict to protect feelings in the moment. Being kind is about being willing to risk the moment, telling the hard truth because you actually care about them. His dad, grandfather, and uncle – Near the end of the war, Roman, his father, and his brother were death-marched out of Dachau toward the mountains, where the guards meant to push them off a cliff. A freak overnight blizzard scattered the guards; by morning they were gone. The men who found the survivors were the 522nd Field Artillery Battalion — the only all–Japanese–American unit in the U.S. Army, many of whose own families were sitting in American internment camps at that very moment. Daniel has said those soldiers showed a tenderness that "had not been seen in 1945." Magic – Daniel taught himself magic as a kid in Mexico City and actually worked as a traveling magician through Europe and the Middle East for the better part of a year. He still performs one magic show a year for his team... And he's said it's the only thing all year he genuinely prepares for. Everything else, he improvises. "My team is always very concerned that I just jump into stuff." A scarcity mindset versus an abundance mindset. Viewing something as a cost instead of viewing it as an investment. This was Daniel's early mistake with Kind bars. He only budgeted $800 a year for samples. He viewed it as a cost. He changed his mind and realized it was an investment. He upped it to $800,000 per year in samples. And eventually to $20 million a year. Scarcity versus abundance. View it as an investment instead of a cost. Reflection Questions Where in your work are you all grit and no wit or fit? What would change if you spent an hour on strategy before your next hundred hours of effort? Think of the harshest feedback you've ever received. Set aside how it was delivered. Was any of it correct, and what did you do with it? Where in your life are you being nice when the situation calls for you to be kind?

Our guest is Brock Bastian, a social psychologist from the University of Melbourne. Professor Bastian's research focuses on pain, happiness and morality. Recently, he published a book on the role of pain in promoting pleasure. The title of the book is The Other Side of Happiness. In this book, he argues that as we seek to escape pain or sorrow, we're weakening ourselves and may lose our adaptability to deal with pain in the future.Painful experiences are in fact vital for our development and how we face the unavoidable challenges ahead and they play a key role in helping us to develop our ability to feel truly happy. Now, let's welcome Professor Bastian to talk about his ideas in the book.

This is the monthly meeting of our club. We've been fortunate to have got good advice from some famous athletes on how to improve our skills and build up our body. Today, we'll hear something different. We're honored to have Emma Wilson here. Emma is a health expert and lecturer from UBC, the University of British Columbia.Emma worked for a football team in Manchester, then for a very successful rugby team in Dublin, and finally ended up working here in Vancouver. Emma says it's challenging to be a health expert, because people can be easily influenced by advertisements that lack scientific support. Also, people aren't willing to change their views about food and nutrition as there is so much confusing information online. It's really important to hear what experts say and that's why we've invited Emma here. She isn't going to tell us about everything we should eat, but she will teach us to make better choices. Let's welcome Emma Wilson.

In this special episode, recorded at the H'ART Museum directly after the Leaders in Finance Compliance Event 2026, Kees de Wit reflects on the day with moderator Leanne Joseph, Rabobank Chief Compliance Officer Tom van de Laar and Deloitte partner Pieter van Doorn.They discuss AI, crypto, regulation and the changing role of compliance. Can an AI agent replace the compliance department? How can compliance move from a control function to a role in designing the future?

Welcome to a deeply heartfelt episode of Late Boomers. We're Merry Elkins and Cathy Worthington, and today we gather to honor and remember the legendary Dolly Parton. For our 300th episode, we're sitting down for a very personal conversation, reflecting on the precious moments and memories that connected us to Dolly—through Cathy's late husband, Ken Kragen, who managed Kenny Rogers and helped shape some of the most iconic moments in country music.In this special tribute, we share never-before-told stories about Dolly's kindness, humor, and dazzling presence. We bring you inside the glitz of the CMA Awards, the warmth of the recording studio, and the laughter backstage. You'll hear what made Dolly so extraordinary not just as a superstar, but as a friend, a mentor, and a beloved family member to so many.Key TakeawaysDolly's True Nature: We recount how Dolly was every bit as genuine, loving, and quick-witted behind the scenes as she appeared in public. Her humor—always sparkling, sometimes cheeky—and her generosity of spirit touched everyone she met (07:14, 16:11).Memorable Duets and Milestones: Relive the creation of “Islands in the Stream” and other chart-topping collaborations with Kenny Rogers, and go inside their legendary stage chemistry (03:03, 10:28).Backstage Adventures: From singing in the backup choir for Kenny & Dolly's Christmas special to glamorous nights in sequins at the awards shows, Cathy Worthington shares what it was like to be part of these musical milestones (05:15, 19:04).A Star's Wit, Warmth, and Work Ethic: Dolly's humor lit up every room—whether in press conferences in Perth or when gently teasing friends. She never stopped working, creating, or caring for those around her (16:40, 28:44).Dolly's Legacy of Kindness: Above all, Dolly's love for her family, her generosity, and her belief in giving someone your smile if they don't have one shines as her enduring legacy (24:35).Making Dreams Reality: Learn how Dolly's determination and savvy business sense overcame every obstacle—from bringing Dollywood alive to developing a Broadway show based on her life (25:00, 27:02).Thank you for joining us as we celebrate and remember Dolly Parton's incredible life, music, and spirit. If Dolly touched your life, too, please subscribe to Late Boomers on your favorite podcast platform or our YouTube channel, and share this episode with fellow Dolly fans.We would love to hear your favorite Dolly memory or song—leave us a comment or review, and help keep her legacy alive.Remember, as Dolly said and we believe, if you see someone without a smile, give them yours. It's never too late to spread kindness and live your dreams, just as Dolly did, right up to the very end.Thank you for listening, and for helping us honor an unforgettable legend—Dolly Parton.Mentioned in this episode:Late Boomers is part of the eWomenPodcastNetwork. eWomenPodcastNetwork

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.Learn more about OVTLYR: https://youtu.be/TUCbD5KovlcA losing streak can either break your confidence… or reveal something that makes your entire trading plan better. This conversation gets into exactly that. After eight losing trades out of nine, the focus shifts from blaming bad luck to asking a much more important question: was there actually a flaw in the plan?There's a part in here that really hits. The problem wasn't necessarily the entries. It was the exits. After digging through the data, the average maximum drawdown on winning trades was only about half an ATR, while the strategy had been using a much wider 2 ATR stop. Tightening that stop dramatically changed the results, taking the real-world performance from roughly -36% to +20% in the testing discussed.The new exit rules get really interesting too. A close below the 20 EMA becomes a market-wide exit signal, sector breadth turning bearish becomes another major warning, and the new Heat Map targets are designed to move stops higher without putting a ceiling on winning trades. The idea is simple: cut the losers short, ride the rip, and let the winners keep running.And the real trade examples make the changes much easier to understand. Nvidia, Roblox, Zscaler, GameStop, Coca-Cola, Robinhood, Okta, and others are used to compare the original exits with the revised approach. In several cases, getting out earlier could have saved thousands of dollars in real losses. The tighter stop doesn't always work perfectly, but that's the point of testing a system instead of assuming every rule will work every time.The market analysis is just as interesting. SPY is pushing into brand new all-time highs, broad market participation is improving, rates are coming down, and technology is showing some serious strength. The Sector Intelligence Map highlights Information Technology Services as one of the areas getting stronger, with stocks like INFY, WIT, CTSH, ACN, and Pfizer making the watch list.There's also a bigger lesson running through the entire episode. You don't need to know what a stock should do. You need to respond to what it's actually doing. A great company can have a terrible stock chart, and a stock can keep moving higher regardless of how strongly you feel about the underlying business. Price ultimately decides whether you're getting paid.✅ New Plan M exit rules and tighter stop losses✅ How the trading plan improved from -36% to +20% in testing✅ SPY, market breadth, rates, all-time highs, and sector analysis✅ Nvidia, Roblox, Zscaler, GameStop, Coca-Cola, and real trade examples✅ Sector Intelligence Map, Heat Map targets, order blocks, and risk managementIf you've ever had a brutal losing streak and wondered whether your strategy was broken… this one is worth watching.

Send us Fan MailDr. Lana Castellucci and Dr. Kerstin de Wit join CLOT Conversations to discuss the 2026 guideline for the evaluation and management of acute pulmonary embolism in adults and what its recommendations mean for clinical practice.The conversation explores the new A–E clinical categories for acute PE, including how to recognize patients whose condition may be deteriorating despite not meeting traditional criteria for high-risk PE. The discussion also covers the role of PE response teams (PERT), outpatient versus inpatient management, the recommendation for low-molecular-weight heparin over IV unfractionated heparin when parenteral therapy is required, and patient selection for systemic thrombolysis and catheter-directed therapies.The guests also address a common patient question about flying after PE, important evidence gaps, and a fundamental clinical message: avoid unnecessary delays in anticoagulation while determining next steps.Creager MA, Barnes GD, Giri J, et al. 2026 AHA/ACC/ACCP/ACEP/CHEST/SCAI/SHM/SIR/SVM/SVN Guideline for the Evaluation and Management of Acute Pulmonary Embolism in Adults: A Report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Joint Committee on Clinical Practice Guidelines.

“Send Coach John a message”I found a fabulous post from Clint Hurdle (@ClintHurdle13), which by the way every post he puts out there is to help others. He's the author of one of my favorite books, “Hurdle-isms - Wit and Wisdom from a Lifetime in Baseball.”  Check Coach out along with his book too!  Two things I found from a recent post of his all dealing with some of his connections to Alcoholics Anonymous. First, he reminds us “by the way, it costs $0 to cheer for others.”  What an amazing and powerful reminder for all of us.  In a world where things seem to be crazier and crazier each and every day (especially in our country due to one person and his out of touch supporters), we all can do something to cheer on others and lift them up!  There was also this quote as part of his post too: “If you think that you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito!”   That one for sure hammers home the point about we are never too small to make a difference for others.  My friends, keep finding things to remind you about the great things you can accomplish for others and that will lead you to doing the same for yourself too!   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Deze keer: de Franse impasse. Terwijl het parlement vooral druk bezig is met ruziën, loopt de staatsschuld torenhoog op. Wat betekent het voor Europa als Frankrijk zich niet snel uit de financiële nesten werkt? Dreigt er een nieuwe eurocrisis? Ondertussen rukt extreemrechts verder op. De razendpopulaire Marine Le Pen mag zich ondanks haar veroordeling tot drie jaar gevangenisstraf gewoon verkiesbaar stellen voor de aanstaande presidentverkiezing. Hoe spannend wordt het? En als extreemrechts wint, is de hoop voor Frankrijk dan opgegeven? Hajar Yagkoubi bespreekt het met Europa-verslaggever en Frankrijk-deskundige Stefan de Vries.

Rebekka de Wit is schrijver en performer. Ze studeerde af aan de opleiding Woordkunst aan het Koninklijk Conservatorium Antwerpen. Daarna nam ze, samen met Freek Vielen en Suzanne Grotenhuis, de artistieke leiding over van theatergroep De Tijd. Sinds 2025 vormt ze samen met Anoek Nuyens en Erik Whien Bureau Vergezicht. Met de voorstelling ‘Een stukje naar de mensen toe' zet ze op een even geestige als tragische wijze uiteen waarom het haar niet lukt om een gemeenschap te vormen met de mensen om zich heen. Tegelijkertijd is de voorstelling ook een oprechte poging om dit wel te proberen. De voorstelling speelt op het Nederlands Theaterfestival in september en wordt volgend jaar maart hernomen. Ellen Deckwitz gaat met Rebekka de Wit in gesprek.

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.Learn more about OVTLYR: https://youtu.be/TUCbD5KovlcFinding good trades is one thing… finding them before everyone else starts talking about them is a completely different game. And that's where the Sector Intelligence Map gets really interesting. This conversation dives into how following the flow of money across sectors and industries can uncover opportunities that traditional stock picking might completely miss.There's a part in here that really stands out. Plan M can produce some great entries… but its signals can also be restrictive because they rely on a sector becoming especially strong relative to the rest of the market. The Sector Intelligence Map opens another door by showing which sectors are getting investment, which industries inside those sectors are gaining attention, and which individual stocks could be worth putting on the radar.The individual trade examples are interesting too. MFI, WIT, CTSH, ACN, Pfizer, FCX, and several other stocks get broken down using sector strength, buy signals, breadth, order blocks, and price performance. FCX is a great example of why timing matters—you could have identified the setup through the Sector Intelligence Map, but once the move has already happened and price is pushing into an order block, the opportunity may already be changing.And then there's the new idea around the “waterfall” view of sector rotation. Instead of only looking for the strongest sectors and buying what's already leading, the discussion explores flipping the process around—watching sectors move from weakness toward strength. That could create another way to find emerging opportunities before they're obvious to everyone else.✅ Sector Intelligence Map and following where money is flowing✅ Plan M signals, sector strength, and finding more trade opportunities✅ MFI, WIT, CTSH, ACN, Pfizer, FCX, and real stock analysis✅ Buy signals, sector breadth, order blocks, and trend strength✅ The new “waterfall” approach to tracking sector rotationIf you've ever wondered how to stop randomly searching through thousands of stocks… and instead let sector and industry strength narrow down where you should actually be looking… this one is worth watching.Subscribe to OVTLYR for disciplined trading strategies that actually make sense.

Emergency departments across Canada are seeing record patient volumes, bed shortages and overcrowding. A new longitudinal study in CMAJ, "Emergency physician burnout and attrition in Canada: a longitudinal study," finds physician burnout now above pandemic-era levels and driving reduced hours and departures from the specialty.Dr. Kerstin de Wit, the study's lead author, an emergency physician and Tier 1 Canada Research Chair at Queen's University, reports that 65% of respondents to the January 2025 survey had high burnout levels, slightly higher than at the pandemic peak in December 2020, a  statistically significant difference. Participants described the health care system as broken, with chronic overcrowding forcing physicians to examine patients in corridors and waiting rooms as quality of care slips. Half the cohort had reduced shifts, 20% had stepped away from emergency medicine for a time, and 10% had left and not returned. She also describes physicians coping by detaching from responsibility for a situation they feel powerless to change.Dr. Jillian Horton, associate chair of internal medicine at the University of Manitoba and author of We Are All Perfectly Fine, teaches an evidence-based program for physicians in distress. She argues that organizational factors drive 80% to 90% of burnout and individual factors closer to 10%, and that wellness efforts fail when they focus on individual-level solutions. Physicians now reject the language of resilience, she says, so she focuses on meaning, citing research that physicians who spend at least 20% of their time on the work they find most meaningful have half the burnout risk of physicians who spend less.The study puts the cause in the system, which limits what any one physician can fix alone. Physicians can still protect the most meaningful parts of their work, which the research links to lower burnout risk.Comments or questions?

So today, I'd like to take some time to talk about it. First of all, a live concert is totally different from listening to recordings. In a live performance, what is performed, how it sounds and how the artist feels about the performance, these exist for only a very short moment and can never be repeated. As an audience responds to the excitement of such moments, feelings are exchanged between stage and hall. You have many kinds of concerts to choose from by many kinds of performing groups. Concerts by university performing groups are easily accessible, free or at a relatively low price and often of high quality. Announcements of such concerts will be found in the newspaper of our university. Performances outside the university are announced in local newspapers. These concerts tend to be more expensive but discount tickets are often available for students. Though tickets can usually be bought on the day or night of a concert, you have a wide choice if you buy them in advance at the box office or on the Internal. If possible, prepare fora concert by listening to some of the works to be performed and by reading about the musicians.

Thanks, Daniel.(Text9)W:Hello, ladies and gentlemen! Today, we have invited Prof. Stone to talk about the role of elderly people in our society. Welcome to our show, Prof. Stone.M: To begin with, I'd like to tell a story from my own life. Several years ago, when my grandparents were well into their 80s, they were no longer able to care for themselves very well. My grandfather was afraid of leaving the only home they had known for the past 60 years. The idea of having to sell their home and move into a retirement home was an extremely painful experience for them. Indeed, old age for them, and many old Americans can mean not only the possible failure of one's health, but the loss of identity and self-worth.W:Yes, it's true. What do you have to say about the problem of old age?M:Many experts have given talks here that have focused on the medical care, and the development of public services for senior citizens. Today, I'd like to focus my comments on the meaningful roles that elderly can play and should play in our society. (Text10)Talking about personal relationships, well, I'd naturally think of my relationship with my mother. Whenever I need help, my mother is always there for me. She often tells me that I can be anyone I want, as long as I'm confident of myself. She sees my talent and pushes me to do the best I possibly can. As I was growing up, we were often on the move. I had to admit that moving so often made me feel lonely. But my mother did everything she could to help me feel happy. In fact, so much traveling was really a good thing because it made us close. I respect my mother so much as she never treats me as a child, but as an equal. She gives me the freedom to make mistakes and to learn from them all.Unlike friendships that can fade or break, I know I'll always be connected to my mother no matter what I face. She is not just a role model, but someone I love.

I got an A on my chemistry exam, a B on essay writing, and our teacher said we'd go camping tomorrow.(Text2)M: Hello Olivia, I haven't seen you for some time. What are you reading?W: Just checking the job page of the local newspaper.(Text3)M: I've found that many people like to study English on the Internet. How about you?W: Well, as a matter of fact, I just started taking some courses. It is a good way to improve English.(Text4)W: I heard that some airlines had changed their flight restrictions. And I need to find out what they are.M: There are websites that list the general restrictions. You may have a look there.(Text5)W: Jason, how long have you been with this company?M: Five months this week. W: I would say that's enough time to learn that we have rules here. Why didn't you report before you made the decision?(Text6)M: How about driving to the beach this weekend?W: There are too many people there. I prefer a picnic in the woods or by the lake.M: Then let's go to the lake. It's just an hour's drive from here. We can bike around the lake and swim after the picnic lunch.W: You're always so sporty. Bring your bike if you like. But I will bring a good book with me.(Text7)W: Mr. Smith, I was wondering if I could change my major from biology to political science or psychology.M: Which year are you in?W: Second term, year two. M: Okay. But these majors are very different. You probably will have to take more classes and prepare for more exams. And you would be graduating a year later. W: Oh no! I hate graduating later than all my friends. I'd better stick to my present major then.(Text8)W: Hey Mark, I'm putting you on anew project. You have to go to California.M: What should I do there?W: You have to collect and review the sales data from all the branch stores. If you find something missing, work with their sales managers to get the information you need to complete the analysis.M: Sounds like a lot of work.W: It's a pretty big project, so take someone with you. I think you can finish in a week if the two of you are working on it.M: When should we start off?W: You needn't hurry so much.I'll give you two days for preparations and packing up.M: Who should I get in touch with when I get there?W: Lisa. I'll email you the necessary information. M: Who do you suggest should go with me?W: Either Jack or Peter. M: Let's say Peter. He's just finished his project, and he is more experienced.W: Great. Keep me updated.(Text9)W: Good evening. Welcome to Around The Globe with Susan Davidson. Our guest today is Charlie Hamilton, a photographer who spent a month and a half in the Amazon. He's going to share with us the challenges and responsibilities of his work. Charlie, the Amazon people have rarely seen people from outside, and you look so different. How do you approach them?M: That's true, but if you spend enough time, you get to know them. Actually, we can laugh about the same things even if we can't talk.W: One of your pictures I really like shows the villagers and you together by a river, laughing. They're seeing no barrier at all.M: Indeed. That was only a couple of days after I went there, but everyone was just relaxed with me. We're all having fun. In fact, what I like most is everyone's laughing. Nowadays, we tend to show the unhappy side of people's life in the Amazon. The trees are being cut down, and these people are sad. But what I want to show is they still have fun.W: That's a really special point of view. Thank you for letting us get closer to our fellow beings around the globe.(Text10)W: Hi everyone. It is raining now. We have to give up our plans for a boat trip along the River Thames and walk along the south bank. But the good news is we still have a huge selection of world-class museums. And many of them are free for visitors. You know, the UK's capital isn't a bad place to spend a rainy day. So our rainy tour of London's museums today starts in the science and national history museums of west London and finishes at the National Gallery. We'll start our museum tour in the heart of London, South Kensington. South Kensington is well known for its old buildings, fantastic restaurants, and many designer shops. But the real reason visitors flood here is for the chance to experience three of the city's best museums: Victoria and Albert Museum, the National History Museum, and the Science Museum. All of them happen to be within walking distance from one another, so you won't get wet. Today, it happens to be the last Thursday of the month, so we can enjoy free guided tours, talks, and events at the National History Museum. Remember, we have to leave there at 1:00 p.m. Finally, we'll arrive at the National Gallery. It's an 1800's building, home to over 2000 works of art by famous painters like Leonardo da Vinci, Claude Monet, and Vincent van Gogh.

What if there was a strategy used by ultra-high-net-worth families that could help physicians grow investments more efficiently, reduce taxes, protect assets, and create a lasting legacy?In this episode of Limitless MD, Dr. Vikram Raya sits down with Michael Malloy to discuss one of the most powerful wealth-planning tools you've probably never heard of: Private Placement Life Insurance (PPLI).While many physicians focus on maximizing income, few understand how the ultra-wealthy structure and preserve their wealth. Michael explains how PPLI has been used by affluent families since the 1970s as a sophisticated vehicle for tax planning, asset protection, estate planning, and long-term wealth preservation.Together, Vikram and Michael break down what PPLI actually is, how it differs from traditional life insurance, who qualifies, what types of assets can be held inside a policy, and why some investors refer to it as an "unofficial Roth IRA" for wealthy families.If you're a high-income physician, entrepreneur, or investor looking for advanced strategies to preserve and transfer wealth, this episode offers a fascinating introduction to a financial vehicle that has historically been reserved for the ultra-wealthy.“Would you rather keep a dollar or keep seventy cents? That's really what taxes come down to.”~ Michael MalloyIn This Episode:What Private Placement Life Insurance (PPLI) really isWhy wealthy families have used PPLI for decadesHow PPLI differs from traditional life insuranceThe tax advantages of properly structured PPLI policiesWhy some investors call PPLI an unofficial Roth IRAHow physicians can use PPLI as part of a broader wealth strategyAsset protection and estate planning benefitsPassing wealth to future generations more efficientlyHolding real estate, businesses, collectibles, and cryptocurrency inside PPLIUnderstanding the investment control doctrineWho qualifies for PPLI and typical minimum investment thresholdsCommon misconceptions about advanced wealth planningAbout Michael MalloyMichael Malloy, CLU, TEP, RFC, is the Founder and Chief Advisor of EWP Financial, a global leader in Expanded Worldwide Planning (EWP) and Private Placement Life Insurance (PPLI). With more than 40 years of experience in the insurance and financial services industry, he has built a reputation for helping ultra-high-net-worth families implement innovative wealth preservation, asset protection, and tax planning strategies.A former museum administrator turned pioneering insurance strategist, Michael has dedicated his career to helping successful families navigate complex financial planning challenges across multiple jurisdictions. His expertise spans international tax planning, estate planning, risk management, and advanced asset structuring.Michael is also the author of two respected books, The PPLI Papers and The Wit and Wisdom of Professor PPLI, which help simplify complex wealth preservation concepts for investors and advisors alike.Connect with Vikram:

Deze keer: de dubbele dreiging voor Europa, vanuit oost én west. Poetin voert zijn aanvallen op Oekraïne flink op en ook in de rest van Europa wordt het ons heet onder de voeten, nu er steeds vaker drones binnendringen. Ondertussen keert Trump zich meer en meer tegen Europa en trekt hij zelfs militairen en materieel terug. Kunnen we onszelf wel verdedigen zonder de Verenigde Staten? Wat is daar voor nodig? En wat kunnen we doen voor de Oekraïners - als Europa, als land, maar ook als individu?  Hajar en Stefan bespreken het live vanuit poppodium PAARD met niemand minder dan schrijver, antropoloog en Oekraïne-activist Joris Luyendijk.  Een bijzondere aflevering, want tijdens het gesprek met Joris wordt ruim 15.000 euro opgehaald om Oekraïne aan drones te helpen die de dodelijke Russische Shahed-drones kunnen neerhalen. Hiermee worden levens gered. Er kan nog gedoneerd worden!

CardioNerds (Amit and Dan), Billy Joe Mullinax, and Saahil Jumkhawala discuss the long term management of pulmonary embolism with Dr. Soophia Naydenov.  The episode focuses on the approach to patients who struggle with persistent symptoms like dyspnea and fatigue even after completing the acute phase of anticoagulation. This spectrum of disease, ranging from mild post-PE impairment to chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), requires a structured follow-up. The discussion covers the critical importance of identifying CTEPH early, the necessary timelines for follow-up, and the appropriate objective screening tools and invasive testing to guide patient care toward full functional recovery. Audio editing by CardioNerds academy intern, Grace Qiu. 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.

Acronyms PE: Pulmonary Embolism PERT: Pulmonary Embolism Response Team CTEPH: Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension QL: Quality of Life VTE: Venous Thromboembolism DASH: D-dimer, Age, Sex, History of non-provoked PE (a risk score) CPET: Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing PFTs: Pulmonary Function Tests VQ Scan: Ventilation-Perfusion Scan DOACs: Direct Oral Anticoagulants TPA: Tissue Plasminogen Activator (Thrombolytics) ECMO: Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Pearls: Post-PE “Syndrome” is a Spectrum: It is more accurately a spectrum of disease (sequelae of PE) rather than a single syndrome, ranging from mild fatigue/dyspnea to the most severe form, CTEPH. Structured Follow-up is Mandatory: All PE survivors need a structured follow-up, typically with checkpoints at 3, 6, 12, and 16–24 months, with the primary goal being to detect CTEPH, the deadliest, yet potentially curable, disease on the spectrum. Screening Should Be Objective and Practical: When screening for persistent symptoms, use objective assessment tools like the Post-VTE Functional Status (PVFS) scale or the Modified Medical Research Council (MMR-C) scale, as highly comprehensive but cumbersome tools (like the PE Quality of Life questionnaire) may not be practical for routine clinical use. Recurrence Risk Scores Aid in Anticoagulation Duration: Simple scores like the DASH score or the HERDO2 score (for women) can provide guidance when considering the continuation versus discontinuation of anticoagulation after the initial treatment phase. Invasive Testing for Persistent Symptoms: If a patient remains symptomatic at the 6-month mark despite normal non-invasive testing (chest X-ray, ECG, PFTs, six-minute walk, echo, VQ scan, CPET), consider invasive testing such as Right Heart Catheterization (RHC) at rest or with exercise, or an invasive CPET. Notes: Notes drafted by Saahil Jumkhawala. 1. The Spectrum of Post-PE Disease The term “post-PE syndrome” should be used with caution, as it refers to a spectrum of disease rather than a single entity. This spectrum includes symptoms (sequelae) that exist in a patient’s life following an incidental PE event that they did not have before. On one extreme is Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH): The definition is clear, but it is the most deadly type, though thankfully rare (2% to 4%). It involves a residual clot and pulmonary hypertension identifiable at rest. In the middle is Chronic Thromboembolic Disease (CTED): Patients may have residual defects seen on a VQ or CT scan, but they do not have pulmonary hypertension. On the other side is a milder disease, which can include fatigue, dyspnea, or a patient’s perceived impairment, where the definitions of CTEPH and CTED are not met, but the patient remains symptomatic. 2. Structured Follow-up and Screening for Post-PE Symptoms Structured follow-up is key for all PE survivors, though the structure may vary based on available resources (PCP, Cardiology, Pulmonary, or multidisciplinary clinic). Recommended Timeline for Follow-up: Data from studies like ELOPE and FOCUS suggest checkpoints at 3, 6, 12, and up to 16 to 24 months. This timeline is designed to identify patients who may develop CTEPH. 88% of patients who develop CTEPH will be identified within about a year. A structured follow-up can reduce the delay in CTEPH diagnosis from 10–12 months to 4–6 months. Personal Practice Note: A quick 2–3 week/30-day check-in is recommended for severely ill patients (e.g., those who had TPA, profound shock, or ECMO support) to ensure medication compliance, manage symptoms, and identify red flags. Screening Tools (Objective Assessment): The first step is an inventory of patient symptoms, leaning toward objective rather than subjective assessment. Recommended Simple Tools: Modified Medical Research Council (MMR-C) for dyspnea evaluation. Post-VTE Functional Status (PVFS) scale. The Pulmonary Embolism Quality of Life (QL) questionnaire is comprehensive but long, making it tedious and better suited for research. Future Utility: Technology (AI/electronic tools) may assist in administering these questionnaires before the clinic visit, presenting the information as a “dashboard” for the provider. 3. Management of Persistent Symptoms and Further Testing Initial Non-Invasive Tests (Often done at 3 months): Echocardiogram VQ Scan Full PFTs Six-minute walk CPET Further Evaluation for Persistent Symptoms (e.g., at 6 months): If non-invasive tests (Chest X-ray, ECG, CPET) are normal but symptoms persist, more invasive testing should be considered as the patient has not returned to baseline. Repeat VQ scan or echocardiogram if symptoms have changed. Right Heart Catheterization (RHC) at rest or with exercise. Invasive CPET. PA gram (Pulmonary Angiogram) to assess vasculature. 4. Recurrence Risk and Anticoagulation Duration The decision to continue or discontinue anticoagulation depends on the patient’s risk factors, the situation of the PE (provoked or unprovoked), presence of active cancer, and patient preference. Recurrence Risk Scores: Simple scores are preferred for practicality. DASH Score. HERDO2 Score (particularly for women). The Vienna Score can be considered if the question is whether to restart anticoagulation after a disruption. Role of D-dimer in Abbreviation: While D-dimer can be used to guide the decision to restart anticoagulation after a planned pause (if D-dimer is high, resume), patient symptoms are preferable to guide management decisions like early abbreviation. 5. Prevention of Post-PE Syndrome Currently, there is no clear tool known to prevent the post-PE syndrome/spectrum of disease. Best Current Advice for Prevention/Recovery: Anticoagulation compliance. Pulmonary rehabilitation, which aids in faster recovery. General precautions, such as smoking cessation and body weight management. Future Research: Ongoing trials are investigating whether acute management strategies (e.g., using thrombolytics in intermediate-risk PE) can prevent long-term sequelae. (The PYTHO trial did not show a reduced rate of CTEPH in intermediate-risk PE patients who received thrombolytics). References: Khan, F., Tritschler, T., Kahn, S. R., & Rodger, M.

W:But that luck turned into 90 Clifford books that have sold 126 million copies in 13 languages.Text 10M:Hello, everyone. Today I'm going to talk about small talk, that is, short conversations people often have with strangers they meet. Such exchanges occur at bus stops,on buses, while waiting in line, almost anywhere that strangers gather close together. As a matter of fact, these short conversations are a good way for people to say hello and express friendliness. Such conversations usually cover a wide range of topics. The topics may include weather, customer service,movies, TV shows, local sports or latest news. But you should always keep it in your mind that private questions about salaries, family life, religious beliefs and politics should be avoided during these conversations. Besides, it's better to ask open-ended questions. If you ask visitors, “Do you like our city?” They may say simply “Yes.” On the other hand, if you ask, “What do you think of our city?” They will have more freedom in answering. This type of question also shows that you're interested in them. If you appear interested in what people are saying, they feel more comfortable talking with you.

You asked, we're answering! After months of receiving questions about Catholicism, I decided it was time to dive in. I've invited Wit (my pastor) to join me as we address FAQs about Catholicism from Protestants (Part 1) and answer questions about Protestants from Catholics (Part 2). For Part 1, Wit interviewed a local Catholic priest, Father Gavin, to ensure that our answers accurately reflect the Catholic perspective. Any answers he gives in this episode either come directly from Father Gavin's responses or from other sources accepted by the Catholic Church. Although we provide some commentary in this episode, our goal is primarily to faithfully convey the Catholic viewpoint on some of the most common questions I received (such as whether Catholics worship Mary or why they believe in purgatory). We hope this episode provides clarity for those non-Catholic listeners who find themselves wondering about common points of confusion. Enjoy!

In this replay of a 2023 interview, Severin de Wit speaks with Tom Tyler, professor of law and psychology at Yale and founding director of the Justice Collaboratory. A psychologist teaching in a law school — a rare combination — Tyler argues that legal systems are built on assumptions about human nature that are seldom tested against what psychologists actually know. His research points to something striking: people comply with the law more because they trust it than because they fear it. And what builds that trust is not whether you win or lose your case, but how you were treated along the way — whether you were heard, treated with respect, and felt the process was fair. This is the idea of procedural justice, and it has both a decision-making side (voice, neutrality, consistency) and a relational side (dignity, sincerity, genuine attention to people's concerns). The conversation ranges across criminal justice, civil and administrative law, prisons, and policing, including how police officers who feel fairly treated by their own superiors go on to treat the public more fairly. Tyler explains why a system built on fear requires policing forever, while one built on trust makes communities stronger: people cooperate, testify, engage with their neighbours, and invest in where they live. He also has warm words for the Netherlands, citing the Ombudsman's adoption of procedural justice principles and the influence of empirical research on Dutch policy — and a challenge for the legal world everywhere: take empiricism seriously as a tool for improvement. A thoughtful, evidence-based case for why trust isn't just a different model of legal authority, but a superior one. [ Due to the holiday season, we are publishing this interview again. It was first published on September 6, 2023, as episode 76]
