Tom Digan & Greg Stewart - Building the World’s Best Fitness AppFrom 🇺🇸 Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy, published at 2026-01-13 09:00
My guests today are Tom Digan and Greg Stewart. Tom is the co-founder of Ladder, and Greg is its CEO. Ladder was my first angel investment. What followed over the next seven years is one of the most unlikely and dramatic business stories I’ve been a part of. Today, Ladder is the number one grossing fitness app in the App Store, approaching $100M in ARR with more than 300,000 paying members. But the path from near death to dominance involved debt collectors, leadership changes, and a full reset during the pandemic. Tom and Greg built Ladder by being relentlessly empirical about their customers, ruthless about prioritization, raising money wherever they could, and doing whatever it took when most founders would have quit. We cover the messy early years when survival meant negotiating creditors, how they found PMF by reading thousands of app store reviews, and how they built a TikTok growth engine with no performance marketing experience. They share their long-term vision for becoming the category winner for health and fitness and the impact of AI and GLP-1s on their business. This is a conversation about how hard it really is to build something valuable, told by two people who lived through all of it.

The EU-Mercosur agreement, and what about BrazilFrom 🇧🇷 O Assunto, published at 2026-01-13 03:17
Guest: Roberto Azevedo, former Director-General of the WTO and president of 9G Consultoria. The first minutes of an agreement between the European Union and Mercosur were signed in 1995. After several attempts and three decades of negotiations, the countries of the European Commission gave the green light for a final agreement between the two blocs. The expectation is that the final signing will be next Saturday, January 17. A historic treaty, from which the world's largest economic zone is born. The pact involves 27 European Union countries and 4 Mercosur countries, including Brazil. Together, the countries involved account for 25% of all wealth produced on the planet. This is a market of 720 million consumers. In this episode, Natuza Nery talks with Roberto Azevêdo, a Brazilian who directly participated in the negotiations that began in the 1990s. Former Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), Azevêdo explains what unlocked the agreement at this moment and how Brazil, and Brazilians, will be affected. For him, who led the WTO between 2013 and 2020, it is a "win-win" agreement between the two parties. Azevêdo also explains what changes, in practice, for Brazilian agribusiness and for the country's consumers. Finally, he assesses how this is a chance for Brazil to reposition itself in world trade.

The Conscription Law: The Summit of the RebbesFrom 🇮🇱 אחד ביום (Echad Ba'Yom), published at 2026-01-13 02:50
The Conscription Exemption Law or the Conscription Law (depending on who you ask), is a law that both those who serve oppose and the Haredim protest against. It's a law that one side says is a bluff and biased in favor of the Haredim, while at the same time, the Haredim who take to the streets say it is much more extreme than what they are willing to accept. But to truly understand where this law stands right now, to understand the Haredi complexity surrounding it, one should not look at the demonstrations and the tens of thousands in the streets, specifically, but in one room, with a very small group of people in whose hands lies the fate of the conscription exemption outline. So this time, Yair Sharki will tell us about the summit of Agudat Yisrael's Rebbes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Devastating fires in Patagonia: Milei thanked the firefighters for their fight against the fireFrom 🇦🇷 Cara o Ceca, published at 2026-01-12 21:16
The Argentine president recognized the work of those fighting the flames in the south of the country, which devastated 15,000 hectares. “Nothing is more heroic than risking your life to save others,” he wrote on his social media. "There are permanent fire outbreaks. With yesterday's rain, there's a better working environment, it allows for progress but not enough to celebrate as some officials did. The fire is complex and will be around for a long time," said Alejo Fardjoume, a National Parks worker for 20 years, on Cara o Ceca.

Book Report – Jerzy Jarniewicz 'TRANS meaning transfer, transgression, translation'From 🇵🇱 Raport o stanie świata Dariusza Rosiaka, published at 2026-01-12 16:00
What if literary translation is not about similarity at all, but about differentiation?Is the translator's task and the absolute value of their work really to achieve maximum closeness to the original? Or perhaps translation is not about replication at all, but about change, not about replacement, but about enrichment?Because "isn't translation, among other things, meant to allow our language, through encountering the foreign, to go beyond well-trodden paths, to venture into the unknown?"These are questions posed by translator, poet, and literary critic Jerzy Jarniewicz in his new book “TRANS, i.e., transfer, transgression, translation.”Why, when thinking about literary translations, do we most often focus on what is lost, what escapes in translation, and rarely consider what translation brings to our language and how it stimulates literature to eternal life?Host: Agata KasprolewiczGuest: Jerzy JarniewiczBook: Jerzy Jarniewicz, “TRANS, i.e., transfer, transgression, translation,” Officyna Publishing House---------------------------------------------Raport o stanie świata (Report on the State of the World) is a broadcast that exists thanks to our Patrons, join the fundraiser ➡️ https://patronite.pl/DariuszRosiakSubscribe to the Raport o stanie świata (Report on the State of the World) newsletter ➡️ https://dariuszrosiak.substack.comRaport o stanie świata T-shirts and mugs ➡️ https://patronite-sklep.pl/kolekcja/raport-o-stanie-swiata/ [Self-promotion]
