The courage on running towards Goliath when everyone else was so afraid of him. Courage is something that you need to work on during your life. The levels of courage rises up at the same pace as the level of the difficulties that we encounter in our path. And David was used to defeat Lions and bears with his sling and removing the sheeps through his mouths with his hands. So, for him, Goliath was another lion or bear. The same thing happened to our little princess warrior. She was in a team which she was the most the less valuable girl. She had to prove to herself and to her coach that she was special (like she had 5 when was riding her bike without the small wheels on his back). she broke her ankle, she was almost defeated by her fears. But when the time was to face them, she open her harms and embrace them as a true present from the divine. A few months later, her club team went to Lisbon to play the Portuguese national championship. And like it happened in Albufeira, our hero was one of the best players, finishing on 3rd spot. But not only the basketball skills got improve. Also her grades were reaching levels of a true MVP. And what a true example for all of us. You wonder by now who’s the girl. Can you guess who is the MVP? My daughter Maria. My MVP.

Having millions? Owning a big house, sports cars, a private jet, or paradise islands? Winning many Olympic medals? Holding championship titles?   For a long time, I deeply believed that happiness was at the end. When I reach my goals. I based my life on that.   "Tomorrow I’ll be happy," was what I thought.   Because of this way of viewing the world, I would wake up trembling, nervous, anxious—very, very anxious. There were times when I had to run to a bathroom because my nerves were so intense that they affected my digestive system.   My life was about chasing the carrot, just like the donkey in the cartoons.   I never thought that to be happy, all you need to do is grow...   I’d like to simplify this comment even more, but simple things are the hardest to say or do.   Well, have you noticed those people who are successful, like our heroine Rebeca? They are grown, mature people. They know why they are here and that life is not meant to be lived in a painful, heavy way but rather with joy and lightness. Difficult is not the opposite of joy.   What do I mean?   Everything Rebeca said about wanting something, asking God, the universe, or life (whatever name you want to call it), and from there, things start to fall into place—it's the purest truth. There’s just one trick to it all: you have to stay alert and sharp to what comes into your life. And this is the million-dollar answer.   Be attentive to the people who cross your path, to the challenges, to the people who suddenly appear and say something you’ve been seeking an answer to for days. The “things” that pop up out of nowhere when you’re browsing the internet. Even the tiny little things. Those tiny little things that help you grow.   Believe me, nothing happens by chance. Because everything Rebeca said is true. I’m proof of that.   So, success isn’t when you reach the end, but when you’re on the journey.   As if every day you’re taking lessons on how to surpass yourself, how you can evolve. In the end, how you can be better than you were yesterday. It’s as simple as that.   Sail with your goals ahead and leave the “how” to someone else. This was very comforting for me when I discovered it!   Has it been all smiles? No. I have days that are real challenges. Days when I reach the end and think, “How am I going to solve this?” But then I stop worrying, knowing that one day the solution will appear. I just have to be true to myself and everyone else.   I call this my Faith.   Faith because I’m certain I’ll get there.   Faith because everything that appears in my path has a purpose for my growth.   At this moment, I no longer wake up anxious or feeling like vomiting. Quite the opposite. Light and happy.   Now I completely understand Rebeca when she says her life isn’t one of suffering. Difficult, yes, but not suffering!   That’s why she is a champion to me. And not because of the medals. The medals are a consequence of this way of living.   That’s why the Olympics should not be seen as a competition, but as something bigger than that. Resilience, overcoming challenges, humanity.   That’s why I love the Olympics (and I didn’t even know it!).   Let’s wrap up this episode because the week is starting, and many lessons will be taught over the coming days, so that tonight, when you lay your head on the pillow at the end of the day, you’ll feel that you are a better person than you are right now listening to my podcast.   Let’s go!<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/david-goliath--6134668/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/david-goliath--6134668/support</a>.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/61147214</guid><pubDate>Mon, 26 Aug 2024 06:00:02 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/61147214/episodio_33.mp3" length="5070428" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/659207dc-dd9d-4b2f-a159-96742caaf9f8/659207dc-dd9d-4b2f-a159-96742caaf9f8.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/659207dc-dd9d-4b2f-a159-96742caaf9f8/659207dc-dd9d-4b2f-a159-96742caaf9f8.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/659207dc-dd9d-4b2f-a159-96742caaf9f8/659207dc-dd9d-4b2f-a159-96742caaf9f8.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>Francisco Câmara</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>What is success?

Like Jesus, in a very humble place: in a favela on the outskirts of the great Brazilian city, São Paulo, on May 8th, 1998.   She and her seven siblings were raised by their single mother, Rosa. Yes, raised in the poverty of a favela.   From an early age, Rebeca's natural and exceptional talent for gymnastics was recognized.   Her training center was two hours from home. No, not by car! On foot. She walked there with her brother to train.   Two hours traveling to the center and two hours back home. Whether it was sunny, rainy, hot, or cold, it didn’t matter. It was mandatory to go, regardless of the conditions.   Until one day, her brother got her a bicycle. But since money was tight, the bicycle was second-hand.

Like Jesus, in a very humble place: in a favela on the outskirts of the great Brazilian city, São Paulo, on May 8th, 1998.   She and her seven siblings were raised by their single mother, Rosa. Yes, raised in the poverty of a favela.   From an early age, Rebeca's natural and exceptional talent for gymnastics was recognized.   Her training center was two hours from home. No, not by car! On foot. She walked there with her brother to train.   Two hours traveling to the center and two hours back home. Whether it was sunny, rainy, hot, or cold, it didn’t matter. It was mandatory to go, regardless of the conditions.   Until one day, her brother got her a bicycle. But since money was tight, the bicycle was second-hand. Well, not exactly second-hand… it was recycled. In other words, it was likely on its way to the scrapyard when they bought it. A few patches here, a few patches there, and voilà... they had a bike.   Rebeca started training at the age of four at the Bonifácio Cardoso Gymnasium through a social sports initiation project by the Guarulhos city government, in the São Paulo Metropolitan Region.   This was because her aunt noticed that she was always doing gymnastics tricks at home, and according to her aunt, Rebeca seemed to have a knack for it.

And by giants I mean, armies, England National Teams, bullying school mates, terrible misfortunes. Everything you can imagine as terrifying!! And when confronted by these enormous opponents, should I play by the rules of the game? Should I give up, run away or face him? Should I submit to fate and see confrontation as a fatality in life? From the start, David already knew he was going to beat Goliath when he decided to face him. He was used to kill Lions and Bears that attacked his flock of sheep. Large animals. Nothing new to face this type of opponents. Then David faced Goliath, not following the so-called conventional rules of the time. Goliath was expecting man-to-man combat. And it was with this idea that when he saw David he thought that the Israelites were making fun of him. A shepherd, the lowest of professions at the time, fighting a noble warrior?! – “Am I perhaps a dog that you should come at me with a stick in your hand?” If David fought in this way, he would most likely die at the Goliath hands. King Saul had David wear the armour and helmet because he also thought the battle had to be a one-on-one battle. By the rules! David used his sling to knock Goliath down and then with him on the ground cut off his head. David used “his weapons”. On the other hand, Goliath was a giant. Have you ever seen a tall person moving? Look at the tall NBA players (the tallest of all). Tall people are not agile people. They are slow. And they are not the best players in the league. Their job is to rebound the ball. To block the shot. Not running after a small guy, dribbling the ball trough the pitch! They simply cannot! According to the Bible, Goliath was 3.5 meters long. A huge man who in turn needed help to move around. A slow guy like the NBA’s tallest guys! When he saw the stone heading towards him, he most likely thought – oh-oh! Game over! I’m f****!!! Being giant isn't really an advantage. And giants are not what we think they are. What we think is the strength of enormous superiority, is in did the cause of its weaknesses. In reality, we look at the giants as owners of great power and the Davids as fragile, small and weak. Impossible to beat a Giant! How we’re seeing things in the wrong way, just like King Saul did and everyone else who was in that day, in the Valley of Elah. Being David and facing enormous challenges that life gives us can lead us to opening doors that we would never have thought possible to open. Being David and facing enormous, overwhelming adversity produces greatness and beauty, as Malcolm Gladwell wrote. All upcoming episodes tell a story of people – rich or not, famous or unknown – who faced enormous adversity and were forced to face them. The next episodes will show that the powerful and strong are not always what they appear to be. I will continue what Malcolm Gladwell started 10 years ago and continue to prove to everyone that Goliath is not the giant he thought he was!<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/david-goliath--6134668/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/david-goliath--6134668/support</a>.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/60838567</guid><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jul 2024 06:00:04 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/60838567/episode_29.mp3" length="4443101" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/5033c955-9cac-4478-9e92-4192311d08e9/5033c955-9cac-4478-9e92-4192311d08e9.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/5033c955-9cac-4478-9e92-4192311d08e9/5033c955-9cac-4478-9e92-4192311d08e9.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/5033c955-9cac-4478-9e92-4192311d08e9/5033c955-9cac-4478-9e92-4192311d08e9.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>Francisco Câmara</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>David and Goliath is nothing more than a story in which the Davids of this world are confronted by Giants.

It's one of my passions. When I started, I made tons of mistakes. I said many "ums," made lots of grammatical errors. My stage posture was anything but correct. I had no vocal variety and sometimes lacked projection. In other words, I wasn’t loud enough. That was two years ago. What did I do to improve? Well, the first thing was not to give up. Then I started watching speeches on YouTube by renowned speakers, observing how they did it. I used these "notes" when I went on stage. After two years, my oratory skills have become fantastic. I mean, I’m not the best in the world, for sure, but I feel so at ease that everything flows when I’m speaking. Have you listened to the episode "My Story"? There, you can hear my story. If it weren’t for my story, my journey, my battles, I would never have created this podcast or become a better person. Could surgery help? Of course. Just the simple fact of getting rid of anxiety at that time would have been a great achievement. But would I have discovered what was behind the anxiety? Would I have discovered what I didn’t like about myself and all the other imperfections I had inside? Maybe yes, maybe no. Who knows? I don’t want to, nor am I dismissing surgery because it apparently saved lives. But now I ask: did that person who was addicted to drugs completely solve their problem? The real reason they used drugs? I don’t know… maybe yes, maybe no. As I mentioned before, while surgery isn’t available for everyone, we’ll have to face our Goliaths. We’ll have to be strong, courageous, resilient. We’ll cry a lot. We’ll question a lot. Some people won’t be able to take it. Others might say, “That’s life,” and resign themselves to the fact that there’s no other way. The advice I can give is: don’t give up. No, it’s not easy. Who said it would be easy? Has all this sacrifice been worth it? This "fight" with my Goliaths? It has, very much! Those people I mentioned, who were born in the 1940s and emigrated to escape war and seek a better life… ask them if it was worth it. Most will likely say “yes.” That it was worth it. That they would do it all over again, the same way. Yes, me too.   Stones? We’ll find many on our path. The difference lies in what you do with them. I’ll keep picking them up and building my castle.

However, in 2012, with the Portuguese public debt crisis, he had to close and file for bankruptcy. As he told me during our conversation, "I went from being great, to being despised in the blink of an eye." Today, I will talk about the anguish he suffered during this period, the personal and family consequences, and finally the health problems that ensued. He managed to overcome all of this with true mastery, becoming a phoenix reborn. Not only did he overcome it, but he is now better off than he was before.

However, in 2012, with the Portuguese public debt crisis, he had to close and file for bankruptcy. As he told me during our conversation, "I went from being great, to being despised in the blink of an eye." Today, I will talk about the anguish he suffered during this period, the personal and family consequences, and finally the health problems that ensued. He managed to overcome all of this with true mastery, becoming a phoenix reborn. Not only did he overcome it, but he is now better off than he was before. As with the other episodes, I hope you love it and feel motivated by getting to know António's story.<br /><br />Porto Moniz and Madeira island - https://visitmadeira.com/en/where-to-go/madeira/north-coast/porto-moniz/<br /><br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/david-goliath--6134668/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/david-goliath--6134668/support</a>.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1712</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/d7c822048be8a88274144053ce18a6bd.jpg"/><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episode>22</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>I won't stay silent because I will continue to do what I came to Earth to do - Jesus</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/i-won-t-stay-silent-because-i-will-continue-to-do-what-i-came-to-earth-to-do-jesus--60249444</link><description><![CDATA[A few days ago, I watched a trailer for a film about the life of Jesus Christ. It was specifically about Jesus being brought before a Roman authority of the time (I'm not sure if it was Pontius Pilate) because He was preaching throughout Galilee. Jesus was taken by one of the Roman guards to this Roman authority (let's say). In the trailer, this guard was a tall, muscular fellow, the type of guard who would protect such an important figure of the kingdom. He grabbed Jesus by the arm and threw Him onto the authority's table. The governor wanted to confirm with Him if it was true that Jesus had been preaching throughout Galilee. Out of nowhere, the peaceful region was experiencing an unprecedented uproar. (Just as it still happens today in some parts of the world when we speak of love). This was against what the Roman authorities wanted for the empire. They preferred little uproar, calmness, and for everyone to accept Roman power.   So, he asked Him if He was the one people called Jesus. He answered yes. He also asked Him if He was responsible for spreading a message that was causing a lot of commotion in Galilee. And once again, He answered yes. Always with polite, direct, and firm responses. So firm that it even made me tremble. Then the conversation shifted from an interrogation to a conversation from a person (the governor) who felt a profound admiration for the man sitting in front of him: Jesus. I won’t go into details of that conversation for two reasons. First, because it won't add any value to what I want to convey in this episode. And second, it would only be a waste of lines and your time. Time that is very precious to all of us! As the conversation was drawing to a close, the governor turned to Him and asked Him to stop what He was doing. If not, he would be forced to take harsher measures and follow the law.   Then, as a gesture of goodwill, the governor turned to Jesus and told Him he would not imprison or whip Him. This time… as long as He stopped!   Jesus responded in the following manner: “I won't promise anything and I won't stay silent because I will continue to do what I came to Earth to do.”   When He finished saying this, my body trembled with fear. My inner self immediately shouted, "Wow, are you crazy? Stay quiet! Say yes. Do you want to get into trouble?” Then I remembered I was talking about Jesus. Jesus wasn't afraid of anything. Those who are afraid are the ones who are reluctant to face what needs to be faced. Not everything life serves us is to our liking, and it is precisely in these moments that we eat without saying, "I don't like it!" Because we are afraid. We all fear something. As the saying goes, "He who has a butt, has fear." This is directly related to the monstrous amount of divorces occurring in the society where I live, at least in the Portuguese society. You will understand more later on. Suddenly, it seems almost all middle-aged couples are getting divorced. At first glance, we might say that nowadays people are less willing to put up with their partners. But the root of the problem if we can say problem, is much deeper than a simple lack of willingness to tolerate the other's personality after some time.   Why is it that in our parents' generation, divorces could be counted on one hand? And now, those who are still together seem to be the "abnormal" ones, rather than those who divorce. Immediately, I thought of several people but particularly of a family member who recently divorced. My cousin Paulo's divorce. It was a bombshell for all of us! Because we all thought they would be together until death. That they would never, ever separate. Wherever they went, there they were. Stuck to each other. Always. Always with their children. But how did this happen? Why did it happen? Well, that's what I'm going to tell you. It's a beautiful and sad story, heavy and with a lovely message for the future. It could be a tragic story, but it isn't because, in the end, love always wins. It's like David throwing the stone into Goliath's head.<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/david-goliath--6134668/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/david-goliath--6134668/support</a>.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/60249444</guid><pubDate>Mon, 03 Jun 2024 06:00:04 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/60249444/epis_dio_21.mp3" length="25976387" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/0956be31-eb71-4e2b-a29d-d0a7afe1e27d/0956be31-eb71-4e2b-a29d-d0a7afe1e27d.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/0956be31-eb71-4e2b-a29d-d0a7afe1e27d/0956be31-eb71-4e2b-a29d-d0a7afe1e27d.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/0956be31-eb71-4e2b-a29d-d0a7afe1e27d/0956be31-eb71-4e2b-a29d-d0a7afe1e27d.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>Francisco Câmara</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>A few days ago, I watched a trailer for a film about the life of Jesus Christ.

When there's no more sugar in the liquid, the yeasts die and the fermentation ends. So the grape came into this world to either be eaten or to be turned into wine. If it's eaten, well, its mission on earth is over. But if it's turned into wine, its life will be prolonged for many, many years, and in the best cases, for centuries. This transformation is a very tough process for a grape. And you'll soon understand what I'm trying to say here.   The process of turning grapes into wine involves harvesting the grapes, or "vindima," (as we say in Portuguese) at the right time. It cannot be too early or too late. Then, the way they are transported is crucial to prevent them from being bruised or crushed. Otherwise, the next stage, fermentation, might start prematurely. But before fermentation, the grapes are crushed. After that, they move on to the fermentation stage. Alcoholic fermentation occurs when microorganisms called yeasts transform sugars into ethanol (alcohol), energy (heat), and gas, along with secondary products. This process happens differently for red and white wines. Once fermentation is complete, the filtration process begins. The goal of this phase is to separate the solid phase in suspension from the liquid phase by passing through a porous surface that constitutes the filtering layer, intended to retain solid particles. Finally, there is the aging and bottling of the wine. Here is the wine. If we translate this to my life, let's say I am in the final stage of fermentation. In other words, I am transforming my sugars (ghosts) into alcohol (my second life). The same processes the grape undergoes happened to our heroine today.

That's what happened to me. No, I don't have cancer, but life also threw me a curveball. Most likely, I have more than 6 months of life left, although nothing is certain. If you listened to episode 10 of my podcast, you'll hear my story from when I was born until today. I always aspired to higher dreams and goals. One of those dreams was to turn my old company into a major multinational. I was born in July, and according to the zodiac horoscope, my sign is Cancer. These are people who value family a lot. In 2023, I divorced from my former partner, stopped living with my daughters, and a month later, closed my company. I lost the house where I lived, I can't have anything in my name or I lose it. I live in fear of opening the mailbox because a seizure or a court letter could suddenly appear. I live alone, and three weeks ago, I lost my father. However, I can assure you that I've never felt as peaceful as I do now. To get here, I had to be at the bottom of a black hole, without light, cold, damp. Alone with my thoughts. It was during those times that I began to rebuild myself. Not to reclaim what I lost because it's no longer worth it, but to become a more mature, confident, and secure human being. God put people on my path who helped me in this process. Because there is no self-made man. And yes, I'll repeat myself, I'm at peace with myself. If you go to my personal Instagram and Facebook page, you'll find many photos of the sunrise. Almost every day, I go running. I always see the sun rising on those days. Such a beautiful spectacle that I try to capture with my phone so that you can feel a tiny part of what it's like to witness this spectacle (for free). You can't imagine the pleasure I have in watching it from the front row. I have other pleasures in life, like this podcast, or being with my daughters, or watching them play volleyball or basketball. Or opening the door of my house at the end of the day. Hearing the birds' orchestra early in the morning. Talking to more experienced people in life. Or meeting Isabel Veloso and her life story. Turning pain into gratitude. Turning pain into serving others. Living life in the present! Yes, I wish my material problem were solved. It will be, I can guarantee you that. It's just a matter of time! I would love for my daughters to live with me. But they're fine, and if they're fine, I'm fine. I would love to have a big company. I will, in the medium term future. I would love to be able to pay all the people my company owes. It will be done in due time.  I would love for my father to be alive.

That's what happened to me. No, I don't have cancer, but life also threw me a curveball. Most likely, I have more than 6 months of life left, although nothing is certain. If you listened to episode 10 of my podcast, you'll hear my story from when I was born until today. I always aspired to higher dreams and goals. One of those dreams was to turn my old company into a major multinational. I was born in July, and according to the zodiac horoscope, my sign is Cancer. These are people who value family a lot. In 2023, I divorced from my former partner, stopped living with my daughters, and a month later, closed my company. I lost the house where I lived, I can't have anything in my name or I lose it. I live in fear of opening the mailbox because a seizure or a court letter could suddenly appear. I live alone, and three weeks ago, I lost my father. However, I can assure you that I've never felt as peaceful as I do now. To get here, I had to be at the bottom of a black hole, without light, cold, damp. Alone with my thoughts. It was during those times that I began to rebuild myself. Not to reclaim what I lost because it's no longer worth it, but to become a more mature, confident, and secure human being. God put people on my path who helped me in this process. Because there is no self-made man. And yes, I'll repeat myself, I'm at peace with myself. If you go to my personal Instagram and Facebook page, you'll find many photos of the sunrise. Almost every day, I go running. I always see the sun rising on those days. Such a beautiful spectacle that I try to capture with my phone so that you can feel a tiny part of what it's like to witness this spectacle (for free). You can't imagine the pleasure I have in watching it from the front row. I have other pleasures in life, like this podcast, or being with my daughters, or watching them play volleyball or basketball. Or opening the door of my house at the end of the day. Hearing the birds' orchestra early in the morning. Talking to more experienced people in life. Or meeting Isabel Veloso and her life story. Turning pain into gratitude. Turning pain into serving others. Living life in the present! Yes, I wish my material problem were solved. It will be, I can guarantee you that. It's just a matter of time! I would love for my daughters to live with me. But they're fine, and if they're fine, I'm fine. I would love to have a big company. I will, in the medium term future. I would love to be able to pay all the people my company owes. It will be done in due time.  I would love for my father to be alive. He's not, and he won't be back, but I will continue to use his smile and kindness towards others. I found peace within myself. I found this love for life within myself. Just like Isabel Veloso, this podcast is also a celebration of life... that renews itself every week so that all of us, including me, can be even happier.  Just like Isabel Veloso, it's through transforming pain into joy that I plan to live the rest of my life.

Even if it was their own world... Almost all of these heroes, whom I deeply admire, started from the place where they were born and raised. In the last episode, we talked about a King. King David, and today I'm going to talk about another king. Not a king with the royal title, but a king who, although he has already died, continues to transmit his faith to his Brazilian brothers and sisters, and beyond. The three-time Formula 1 champion, one of my heroes since the late 80s, the great Ayrton Senna. He was always someone who brought great joy to the Brazilian people. Firstly, with victories in Sunday races after lunch (in Portugal's time zone) and then, after his death, providing conditions for everyone to have the chance to succeed in their lives. One of Ayrton's dreams was to help his people so that everyone could have the same opportunities to succeed in life. The right to have a future and to have hope. To change the scenario of Brazil. His sister Viviane Senna turned this dream into reality with the creation of the Ayrton Senna Institute. In 2024, this institution celebrates its 30th anniversary and works to transform thousands of lives. This is what greatness is all about... continuing the dream of a racing champion but also a champion of life. It has been 30 years since his death on May 1st, but his legacy is very much present in Brazil and also in my heart. Ayrton for me is a flower that will always be placed on my Wall of Hope, and like him, I want tomorrow to be much better than today. I hope to convey to you the energy that he transmits to me every day. As beautiful as my beautiful Madeira Island.<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/david-goliath--6134668/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/david-goliath--6134668/support</a>.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/59849998</guid><pubDate>Mon, 06 May 2024 06:00:04 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/59849998/episodio_17_ayrton_senna.mp3" length="23290937" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/e6189b91-3c2b-4aa4-9bd8-d0bc296b71e1/e6189b91-3c2b-4aa4-9bd8-d0bc296b71e1.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/e6189b91-3c2b-4aa4-9bd8-d0bc296b71e1/e6189b91-3c2b-4aa4-9bd8-d0bc296b71e1.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/e6189b91-3c2b-4aa4-9bd8-d0bc296b71e1/e6189b91-3c2b-4aa4-9bd8-d0bc296b71e1.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>Francisco Câmara</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Since January of this year, we've been constantly talking about people who have contributed to making the world a better place.
