What a great introduction. Thank you for inviting us to the podcast. We are doing good. 7 00:01:02,750 --> 00:01:07,590 We just recently managed to get a place in a really important competition and we wanted to 8 00:01:07,590 --> 00:01:13,590 come to the podcast first. That's great. What competition is it? We are assisting the Arnold 9 00:01:13,590 --> 00:01:20,090 Classic, which is a straight pass to the Olympia if you get first place. So we are very excited. 10 00:01:21,209 --> 00:01:25,409 Steroids and supplements like creatine are becoming more and more popular. A lot of people 11 00:01:25,409 --> 00:01:28,950 are entering this world and many of them aren't really sure of the impact they can have on your 12 00:01:28,950 --> 00:01:34,670 body. What's your opinion on this? Do you take any? We don't take any steroids and I don't support 13 00:01:34,670 --> 00:01:40,370 the consumption of them as going to the gym is also for having a healthier life and the consumption 14 00:01:40,370 --> 00:01:47,989 wouldn't ruin this purpose. However, supplements like protein and creatine are natural and helps 15 00:01:47,989 --> 00:01:53,090 you to build muscles without affecting your health. Do you usually take any supplements? 16 00:01:53,989 --> 00:02:03,310 Yes, I do. I normally take protein and creatine that are harmful for your health and you can find it in everyday meat, but not in the optimal amount. 17 00:02:03,790 --> 00:02:05,489 And what do you think about the pharma companies? 18 00:02:05,670 --> 00:02:16,629 It's a recent business because there are a lot of new bodybuilders that want quick results or they take this to have a competitive physique in the bodybuilders competitions. 19 00:02:17,469 --> 00:02:19,909 How many calories do you intake more or less on a normal day? 20 00:02:19,909 --> 00:02:26,330 I intake 3,500 calories each day in three meals because I am bulking. 21 00:02:26,909 --> 00:02:33,349 And I have to take around 3,500 calories a day distributed in five meals. 22 00:02:34,490 --> 00:02:36,590 Wow! And what diet do you follow? 23 00:02:36,909 --> 00:02:39,710 And what diet would you recommend people that want to get bigger to follow? 24 00:02:40,490 --> 00:02:46,930 The only way to get bigger is to intake more kilocalories than you burn and train hard at the same time. 25 00:02:47,909 --> 00:02:51,909 Another important question many people ask themselves is the price of being a bodybuilder. 26 00:02:52,270 --> 00:02:55,689 How much do you spend on supplements, food and everything during the space of a month? 27 00:02:56,610 --> 00:03:00,949 We usually spend around 400 euros a month on everything related. 28 00:03:01,229 --> 00:03:05,050 It's a lot, but we really want to win the competition to recover from it. 29 00:03:05,449 --> 00:03:07,150 Can you win money with the competitions? 30 00:03:07,750 --> 00:03:09,849 How much can you win with a professional competition? 31 00:03:10,689 --> 00:03:15,069 Yes, we can, but it all depends on what competition you are competing. 32 00:03:15,689 --> 00:03:21,009 For example, in this competition we have entered, we can win up to 20.000 euros. 33 00:03:21,430 --> 00:03:26,069 But the majority of the money you get from bodybuilding comes from advertisements and promotions. 34 00:03:27,530 --> 00:03:28,430 That's amazing. 35 00:03:29,409 --> 00:03:31,310 Sorry, but we're going to have to end it here. 36 00:03:31,710 --> 00:03:32,990 Thank you guys so much for coming. 37 00:03:33,169 --> 00:03:35,770 I hope you win your competition and come back soon to tell us all. 38 00:03:36,110 --> 00:03:37,389 Thank you for having us. 39 00:03:37,949 --> 00:03:38,729 See you soon. 40 00:04:03,020 --> 00:04:07,639 Welcome to The World Today, where we dig into the most interesting topics of our time. 41 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:08,659 I'm your host. 42 00:04:08,719 --> 00:04:12,520 Carlos, and today we are talking about the phenomenon of holiday shopping events 43 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,319 and their impact on consumer behavior. 44 00:04:14,979 --> 00:04:18,439 Joining me are three experts in the field, Noel, Lucas and Jaime. 45 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:19,899 How are you all doing today? 46 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,560 I'm fine, thanks for inviting us. 47 00:04:22,060 --> 00:04:24,180 We are all amazed for today's podcast. 48 00:04:24,579 --> 00:04:25,660 I'm doing great, mate. 49 00:04:26,540 --> 00:04:30,319 To kick things off, let's get a small understanding of why holiday shopping events 50 00:04:30,319 --> 00:04:33,500 like Black Friday or Cyber Monday have become such cultural phenomena. 51 00:04:33,899 --> 00:04:35,560 Noel, can you tell us more about this? 52 00:04:36,540 --> 00:04:43,980 Now, Lucas, could you tell us the psychological aspects that contribute to the impact on consumer behavior during these events? 53 00:04:45,459 --> 00:04:52,120 Absolutely, Carlos. The attraction of these occasions resides in the remarkable deals and discounts presented by retailers. 54 00:04:52,819 --> 00:05:01,019 They have evolved into yearly customs, marking the starts of the holiday shopping season and generating a feeling of joy and expectation among customers. 55 00:05:01,899 --> 00:05:07,180 Of course, Carlos. The limited time nature of these sales does create a sense of urgency and 56 00:05:07,180 --> 00:05:12,540 scarcity, triggering consumers to make quicker decisions and often purchase items they might 57 00:05:12,540 --> 00:05:18,300 not have considered otherwise. It's a fascinating characteristic of psychology and marketing. 58 00:05:18,300 --> 00:05:23,579 Now let's explore the impact of these events. Jaime, from an economic point of view, 59 00:05:23,579 --> 00:05:26,540 what are the pros and the cons of these holiday shopping trends? 60 00:05:26,540 --> 00:05:32,959 From an economic perspective, these events undeniably stimulate consumer spending, driving sales and benefiting retailers. 61 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:40,399 However, there is a downside, the pressure to offer strong discounts and impact profit margins, especially for smaller businesses. 62 00:05:41,079 --> 00:05:44,139 Interesting. Noel, what about the environmental implications? 63 00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:49,139 The environmental impact is a growing concern. 64 00:05:49,139 --> 00:05:57,620 The increased production of goods, excessive packaging and the carbon footprint associated with shipping during these events contribute to environmental degradation. 65 00:05:58,459 --> 00:06:02,899 As consumers, we need to be mindful of the ecological consequences of our purchases. 66 00:06:03,699 --> 00:06:08,920 Wise words, Noel. Now, Lucas, how about the ethical considerations associated with these events? 67 00:06:10,060 --> 00:06:14,500 Ethically, there are positives, such as supporting local businesses and creating job opportunities. 68 00:06:14,500 --> 00:06:23,500 On the flip side, there are concerns about labor conditions, the pressure on employees during these high-demand periods, and the potential negative impact on smaller local businesses. 69 00:06:24,060 --> 00:06:26,480 Also, they are unable to compete with major retailers. 70 00:06:27,439 --> 00:06:36,980 Now, focusing on specific events, Black Friday, Cyber Monday and emerging trends in holiday shopping, Jaime, can you share your thoughts about the evolution of these events? 71 00:06:38,199 --> 00:06:43,560 Absolutely, Carlos. Black Friday has transitioned from in-store chaos to a blend of online and offline sales. 72 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,879 while Cyber Monday has gained prominence as an online shopping event. 73 00:06:47,379 --> 00:06:52,060 Emerging trends include the integration of technology, personalized shopping experiences, 74 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,180 and a growing emphasis on sustainable and ethical practices. 75 00:06:56,100 --> 00:06:58,839 Thank you all for joining me on The World Today. 76 00:06:59,220 --> 00:07:03,680 It's been a very interesting discussion on the actuality of holiday shopping events 77 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,879 and their impact on consumer behavior. 78 00:07:06,439 --> 00:07:09,500 To our listeners, we hope you gain valuable information. 79 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:10,819 Until next time! 80 00:07:23,769 --> 00:07:34,410 hello and welcome back to pali podcast we are paula and lydia and today we're going to talk 81 00:07:34,410 --> 00:07:40,470 about education in different countries we have here with us ola and mario welcome guys we are 82 00:07:40,470 --> 00:07:47,509 so happy you two are here hi i'm really happy to be here with you today hi thanks for inviting me 83 00:07:47,509 --> 00:07:53,750 the podcast in today episode we are comparing the education systems from other countries 84 00:07:54,310 --> 00:08:01,990 so hola when did you came to spain i came to spain in may 2022 and now i'm studying in the high 85 00:08:01,990 --> 00:08:08,389 school in cerceria it's really new and interesting experience for me and mario are you originally 86 00:08:08,389 --> 00:08:15,589 from france yes i'm originally from france even though i'm living in spain now oh so that means 87 00:08:15,589 --> 00:08:26,120 you like french fries right yeah i guess so in this part of the podcast we hear some questions 88 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:34,539 from our listeners hi what is the difference between both education systems well the main 89 00:08:34,539 --> 00:08:38,960 difference that i can see is the way that french education system teaches the students 90 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:45,539 well the french system focuses more in the comprehension the reduction skills of the 91 00:08:45,539 --> 00:08:52,740 students the spanish one doesn't and for example the french students have to write and develop 92 00:08:52,740 --> 00:08:59,299 their answers in every type of exam while the spanish system doesn't offer that chance and 93 00:09:00,179 --> 00:09:06,980 they normally just learn something right in the exam and then totally forget it the second main 94 00:09:06,980 --> 00:09:13,460 difference are the bilingual skills that spain provides to the students since the spanish system 95 00:09:13,460 --> 00:09:22,179 gives like more subjects in english and the french one usually doesn't i have been studying here more 96 00:09:22,179 --> 00:09:28,500 than one year and now i can say the main difference that i noticed from the first day here 97 00:09:29,299 --> 00:09:37,059 first of all it's relations between students and teachers here it is easier it means you can say 98 00:09:37,059 --> 00:09:42,980 about your problems or you do not understand something and teacher is going to help you. 99 00:09:43,620 --> 00:09:50,019 In Ukraine they are very strict. The second one is that you can choose what do you want to study 100 00:09:50,580 --> 00:09:56,899 because in Ukraine it is necessary to study all subjects during 11 years. 101 00:09:58,179 --> 00:10:04,899 That's so interesting! And guys which education system you like the most? Actually it depends 102 00:10:04,899 --> 00:10:11,220 because if we talk about subjects i prefer spanish education system but when we start to speak about 103 00:10:11,220 --> 00:10:17,620 general exams of high school or university exams i like more education system in ukraine 104 00:10:17,620 --> 00:10:26,740 because it is easier guys it seems that we have another call let's hear it hi from germany what 105 00:10:26,740 --> 00:10:33,940 is the preparatory faculty and what is this for so in ukraine in kindergarten children play and 106 00:10:33,940 --> 00:10:38,559 spend time with friends. They are taught to write letters and elementary 107 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:45,279 mathematical operations so that they are ready for elementary school. In some 108 00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:50,539 cases English is also included there. And are you allowed to use your phone in 109 00:10:50,539 --> 00:10:56,419 high school? When I started to study here I was really surprised that in school we 110 00:10:56,419 --> 00:11:03,019 can't use mobile phones during the break or in other cases. In my country we can 111 00:11:03,019 --> 00:11:05,720 use it at school except lessons time. 112 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:11,019 Okay, Mario, to sum up, can you compare French vacations with the Spanish ones? 113 00:11:11,019 --> 00:11:13,019 That's a good one. 114 00:11:13,019 --> 00:11:18,840 Well, the Spanish ones are, as we know, on very specific vacations, events, and the typical 115 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,679 non-teaching breaks. 116 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:25,019 The French holidays are usually every six weeks and during two weeks. 117 00:11:25,019 --> 00:11:29,399 Well, even though it seems unfair for the Spanish students, at the end, they all have 118 00:11:29,399 --> 00:11:33,720 the same amount of class because the French school start at 8 in the morning 119 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:39,659 and finishes more or less at 5 or 6 p.m. which compensates in Spain as they 120 00:11:39,659 --> 00:11:47,639 finish at 3 or 4 in the afternoon this episode has come to an end we'll see you 121 00:11:47,639 --> 00:11:53,159 in the next one bye bye guys bye thanks for having us bye 122 00:11:53,159 --> 00:12:31,679 welcome to a new episode of the podcast coffee with the girls we hope you had a wonderful 123 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:36,960 christmas holiday and had fun and visited their family of course in this episode we are going 124 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:42,559 gonna talk about christmas consumerism we have asked you some questions and we are gonna show 125 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:48,799 the results of our study the objective of our study was to reflect the abuse of christmas 126 00:12:48,799 --> 00:12:54,320 consumerism and we've also come to some interesting conclusions about modern society's 127 00:12:54,320 --> 00:13:01,919 materialism sorry materialism sorry the newspaper europa press confirms that the consumerism at the 128 00:13:01,919 --> 00:13:08,639 end of the year has increased an 80 percent in the last six years oh really that's really amazing 129 00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:14,080 that's a lot yes and this information really sucked us and motivated us to carry on with our 130 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:20,320 study and we want to make you all conscious about this topic a really important one we leave you 131 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:26,559 with the questions of our study.

Today we're going to be speaking with 174 00:18:55,289 --> 00:19:01,250 Dr. Alexia Lactosa, an allergologist with extensive experience in the field. Welcome Alexia and thank 175 00:19:01,250 --> 00:19:07,430 you for giving us some of your time. Hi Kitty, I'm so excited to be here this afternoon talking 176 00:19:07,430 --> 00:19:13,710 about such an important topic. As I grew up with a lot of allergies and I personally have suffered 177 00:19:13,710 --> 00:19:19,430 a lot with it since I was really young, I always focused on learning to be someone who could help 178 00:19:19,430 --> 00:19:26,069 someone struggling with the same problem I went through. Wow, Alexia, that is so nice. Can you 179 00:19:26,069 --> 00:19:33,630 tell us, as an expert, what is an allergy, what risks it has, and maybe is there any similar 180 00:19:33,630 --> 00:19:40,089 condition that could be confused with it? So, to answer your questions, most people think they are 181 00:19:40,089 --> 00:19:45,630 illnesses, but they're really not. Given that an illness is mostly provoked by microorganisms, 182 00:19:46,130 --> 00:19:51,430 allergies are medical conditions which can appear at birth or which you can develop as you grow. 183 00:19:52,029 --> 00:19:58,569 Allergies are commonly confused with intolerance. The last ones only cause rather minor symptoms 184 00:19:58,569 --> 00:20:05,269 like sneezes, teary eyes, and stomach ache. Whereas in an allergic reaction, it's produced 185 00:20:05,269 --> 00:20:11,750 gradually but fast and an anaphylactic shock which can lead to death if the corresponding 186 00:20:11,750 --> 00:20:18,990 medication is not administered quickly. Wow, Alexia, those sound like very similar conditions, 187 00:20:19,529 --> 00:20:26,390 but obviously one is more dangerous, right? The allergies are lethal while intolerances 188 00:20:26,390 --> 00:20:33,750 aren't really much of a harm. Okay, so in your opinion, what would you say they are the most 189 00:20:33,750 --> 00:20:40,809 common allergies in general okay so the most common allergies are the food related ones 190 00:20:40,809 --> 00:20:48,529 since it's the substances primary access to our bodies the most spread ones are celiac disease 191 00:20:48,529 --> 00:20:55,529 milk seafood and nuts there are also a high percentage of allergies to elements such as 192 00:20:55,529 --> 00:21:01,769 pollen, fur, latex, nickel, mites and different medications. 193 00:21:01,769 --> 00:21:08,029 So Alexia, you have complained many many times in the social media about companies and allergens 194 00:21:08,029 --> 00:21:14,990 and how the topic is treated and so like can you tell us a bit of that in here? 195 00:21:14,990 --> 00:21:19,529 Well many companies, most of them gastronomic, don't have special products for people with 196 00:21:19,529 --> 00:21:21,769 allergies for two main reasons. 197 00:21:21,769 --> 00:21:27,970 The first one is the huge social lack of information concerning these conditions and how sometimes 198 00:21:27,970 --> 00:21:34,089 intolerances mix up with allergies which increases the allergic intoxication cases. 199 00:21:34,089 --> 00:21:42,049 The second problem which leads to this situation are the high prices on products without allergens. 200 00:21:42,049 --> 00:21:45,329 That's why those expenses are not always afforded. 201 00:21:45,650 --> 00:21:51,230 Well, Alexia, I imagine lacking the ability to eat some of these things 202 00:21:51,230 --> 00:21:57,910 might cause a lack of some nutrients and some vitamins and things like that in the body. 203 00:21:58,390 --> 00:22:01,190 Can you tell us a bit about how can we substitute it 204 00:22:01,190 --> 00:22:08,210 or how can we fill those gaps that not being able to eat these foods leave? 205 00:22:08,869 --> 00:22:13,450 Sure, there are some possible sustenance for those nutritional needs. 206 00:22:13,450 --> 00:22:20,650 well for example gluten can be substituted by corn or corn flour and chickpea flour 207 00:22:20,650 --> 00:22:28,410 preparation can be a good option for eggs and talking about milk the most common substitutions 208 00:22:28,410 --> 00:22:40,890 are in vegetable drinks but especially for hot drinks is good a adoption of soy milk but there's 209 00:22:40,890 --> 00:22:47,769 a problem with seafood not unfit they are not so commonly used for cooking so they don't need 210 00:22:47,769 --> 00:22:55,690 a specific substituent for them so they really don't have it so to put an example of a non-alimentary 211 00:22:55,690 --> 00:23:02,569 one latex which also doesn't have an accurate substitution is often replaced by neoprene 212 00:23:02,569 --> 00:23:09,529 vinyl or nitrile thank you so much alexia for this amazing time we've had today unfortunately we 213 00:23:09,529 --> 00:23:15,529 don't have more time but I hope we can still talk some more time. Thank you so much for having me, 214 00:23:15,529 --> 00:23:19,769 I've really enjoyed my time here today. Bye Alexia! Bye Kitty! 215 00:23:31,420 --> 00:23:38,460 As everyone knows, technology has developed a lot compared to what is used to be 20 years before, 216 00:23:39,019 --> 00:23:47,099 but with its development it has also targeted a lot of our lives. So I wanted to ask you about 217 00:23:47,099 --> 00:23:50,099 How has technology changed our behaviour? 218 00:23:50,099 --> 00:23:55,099 Social media has changed the way people discover and sell products. 219 00:23:55,099 --> 00:24:04,099 For example, the influence of influencers on social media can have a significant impact on consumer purchasing decisions. 220 00:24:04,099 --> 00:24:14,099 Influencers actually move a lot the way we behave, our manners, the way we talk, or even the activities we are assigned to. 221 00:24:14,099 --> 00:24:25,059 Also, the internet provides constant access to information, influencing our learning patterns and making information readily available at any time. 222 00:24:26,099 --> 00:24:32,579 Constant use of mobile phones during face-to-face interactions can result in distractions. 223 00:24:33,900 --> 00:24:40,359 Notifications, calls and messages can interrupt care and create communication barriers. 224 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:48,359 I absolutely agree with you, but Carlos, do you know anything about the data collected by the companies? 225 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:55,359 Yes, technology is one of the best ways for companies to collect data on consumer behavior. 226 00:24:55,359 --> 00:25:03,359 This is used to personalize offers and recommendations, creating a more relevant and engaging experience for each consumer. 227 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:09,359 I think you probably have seen the little ID which pops out whenever you get into our website. 228 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:15,480 a website. In other words, cookies. If you read all the information, it says that they 229 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:21,079 can get personal information in order to personalize the advertisements and offers you are announced 230 00:25:21,079 --> 00:25:28,039 of. Also, some companies even pay money to other small companies in order to get your 231 00:25:28,039 --> 00:25:34,380 personal information. This is mainly used by big businesses, which are just trying to 232 00:25:34,380 --> 00:25:39,759 make you buy their products by advertising in different ways, depending on your taste 233 00:25:39,759 --> 00:25:40,759 and likes. 234 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:48,339 Okay, Pablo, what are the main factors driving the rise of e-commerce compared to physical 235 00:25:48,339 --> 00:25:48,700 stores? 236 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,559 Well, in my opinion, there's four main factors. 237 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,859 The first one being there's no physical interaction needed. 238 00:25:55,420 --> 00:26:01,099 So it's better for old or lazy people that can't really walk to a store. 239 00:26:01,299 --> 00:26:01,680 Yeah, yeah. 240 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:06,599 Or also for shy people who don't like physical interaction that much 241 00:26:06,599 --> 00:26:09,099 or are uncomfortable with walking to a store. 242 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:09,599 Yes. 243 00:26:10,079 --> 00:26:16,200 The next big factor is that a digital store like Amazon doesn't close, 244 00:26:16,740 --> 00:26:21,740 doesn't have a closing time, so you don't have a time limit to go there. 245 00:26:22,380 --> 00:26:25,299 So you can order a product very late at night. 246 00:26:25,839 --> 00:26:26,420 Okay, okay. 247 00:26:26,420 --> 00:26:30,380 The third factor is there's a really high variety of products. 248 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:41,799 In stores like Amazon, there's pretty much any product that you can think of, and there's a huge variety. 249 00:26:42,740 --> 00:26:59,440 Number four is that if you live in a very remote place, like a small village, it's easier for an Amazon truck to get there than for you to go to the nearest city that can be hours away in some cases to buy something physically in a store. 250 00:27:00,259 --> 00:27:01,460 Okay, thank you, thank you. 251 00:27:01,460 --> 00:27:04,319 Yeah, there's more reasons, but those are the main four. 252 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:07,700 Oh, very good, very good. 253 00:27:08,140 --> 00:27:14,779 Eric, what role did online reviews and social media play in influencing consumer behavior? 254 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:16,839 Hello, director Jacobo. 255 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,920 Online reviews and social media significantly impact consumer behaviors 256 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,480 by shaping perceptions of products and service. 257 00:27:24,140 --> 00:27:27,000 Positive reviews and social media endorsements can build trust. 258 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:35,299 influence purchase decisions and enhance brand reputation oh very good conversely a negative 259 00:27:35,299 --> 00:27:41,859 feedback can deter potential consumers social media platforms also serve as a venue for real-time 260 00:27:41,859 --> 00:27:47,079 interactions allowing consumers to share experience and gather information further 261 00:27:47,079 --> 00:27:53,539 influencing their choice and that is all the things i think we can social media can 262 00:27:53,539 --> 00:28:01,559 can influence to the consumers and to the to the impressed okay very good thank you eric do you 263 00:28:01,559 --> 00:28:08,359 think ads on the web page influences you when it comes to buying yourself clothes or other things 264 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:17,099 online i think sometimes you are influenced by ads and other times you aren't the degree of that 265 00:28:17,099 --> 00:28:23,480 influence depends on how much you know about the thing you want to buy if you know a lot you won't 266 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:28,059 be influenced, but if you know little you might be influenced. 267 00:28:28,059 --> 00:28:34,119 In conclusion, the advertisements are not bad, even in some cases they can recommend 268 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:40,519 better items than those you were going to buy in the beginning, but in some cases they 269 00:28:40,519 --> 00:28:44,299 can make you buy things of worse quality.
