• Psychologist Ethan Kross: Emotions Aren't the Enemy 08.07.2026 1ч 22мин

He directs the Emotion & Self-Control Laboratory at the University of Michigan, advises Fortune 500 leaders and Navy SEALs, and wrote the international bestsellers Chatter and Shift. He also discovered his single most-cit...
• Anu Bharadwaj: AI Won't Save a Team That Fears It 24.06.2026 1ч 22мин

  Six months into her first management job, Anu Bharadwaj got the feedback no leader wants to hear: she was too intense, she pushed her team too hard. She was stunned. She was only asking them to do what she would do herself. Anu Bharadwaj began at Microsoft building video games, then made a bold leap to Atlassian in 2014, where she rose from product lead on Jira to COO and then President. Along the way she shaped Team Anywhere, led one of the company's hardest cloud transformations, and kept r...
• Stéphane Bancel: The 5% Bet That Built Moderna 10.06.2026 1ч 26мин

  In 2011, Stéphane Bancel walked away from the security of leading a 6,000-person diagnostics company to join a startup of about 50 people, built on an idea most scientists had dismissed: that messenger RNA could become medicine. Almost everyone told him not to do it. He gave the bet roughly a five percent chance. Nine years later, that same bet helped the world face a pandemic in 63 days. Stéphane Bancel is the Chief Executive Officer of Moderna. Under his leadership the company designed a CO...

This episode is the word that changed everything, and the model she built around it. Dr Donna Hicks, author of Leading with Dignity and Associate at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard Un...
• [FR] Du pôle Sud au pôle intérieur : Matthieu Tordeur, explorateur 13.05.2026 1ч 33мин

À 27 ans, Matthieu Tordeur devient le plus jeune explorateur au monde à rallier le pôle Sud à ski, en solitaire et sans ravitaillement. 1 150 kilomètres en 51 jours. Un traîneau de 115 kilos.

• The Iceberg Strategy: Ine Van Wymersch, Drug Commissioner 29.04.2026 1ч 40мин

  A country drifting toward narco-state. The answer isn't a hammer. It's warm water. Belgium is one decision away from becoming a narco-state. Judges in hiding. Prosecutors under armed protection. An 11-year-old girl killed in a drug-related shooting in Antwerp. The country hosting Europe's second-largest port now seizes over 120 tons of cocaine a year. And the Belgian government handed the mission of stopping it to Ine Van Wymersch. Ine Van Wymersch became Belgium's youngest...
