The company has just filed a provisional patent for its ground breaking manufacturing process of silicon-based anode materials, a key component for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. This patent could have a major impact on energy storage technology by addressing critical challenges in cost, scalability, and sustainability, opening the door to tens of billions in addressable market opportunities. “HPQ's strategy will focus first on producing silicon-based materials for the 3C markets (Computer, Consumer, and Communication), which is projected to grow to US$ 38.3 Billion in 2030 and perfectly suited for the materials we've already validated at this stage of our development.” ENTER HPQ SILICON INC. (TSX-V: HPQ) (OTCQB: HPQFF) HPQ Silicon recently unveiled a breakthrough that could significantly disrupt the battery industry. The standout feature? Their batteries have achieved an impressive 3,600+ mAh capacity after 300 cycles. This milestone, according to Tourillon, brings the company closer to solving the "Holy Grail" of battery longevity. As investors look for solutions in the growing battery market, HPQ's advancement marks a step toward commercialization with potential widespread industry impact. PROVISIONAL PATENT APPLICATION FILED In today's interview, Bernard Tourillon, CEO of HPQ Silicon, highlighted the strategic importance of this new patent. “Silicon holds immense promise for energy storage, but integrating it into batteries has been a costly and technically complex challenge,” Tourillon explained. The patent focuses on a continuous or semi-continuous process for manufacturing silicon-based materials, which could dramatically reduce production costs and improve energy efficiency. HPQ's technology is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing battery manufacturing processes, avoiding expensive retooling—a significant advantage over competitors. Key Takeaways High-Performance Anode Material: HPQ's silicon-based anode materials have demonstrated exceptional results, delivering over 4,000 mAh in lithium-ion battery tests and retaining 93% of capacity after 300 cycles. Scalable Technology: The company's new process promises to scale production while reducing costs by 25-30%, making it highly competitive in a growing market. Strategic Partnerships and Market Size: HPQ is in discussions with graphite companies and anode manufacturers, aiming to capture up to 15% of the growing global graphite market with its incredible silicon solutions, which translates into an addressable market of $33.8 billion by 2030. A BOLD STEP TOWARD COMMERCIALIZATION HPQ Silicon's latest patent filing not only strengthens its intellectual property portfolio but also underscores its commitment to revolutionizing the battery materials market. As the global demand for efficient energy storage grows, HPQ's innovative solutions could be key to unlocking silicon's full potential.

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Do you dream of running a big agency? What's your target number and how do you think you'd handle the added stress of an increasingly larger team? Today's guest is the leader of an agency colossus: an over half-billion-dollar behemoth with around 4,000 employees spanning the globe, a scale very few founders could even imagine. He'll share invaluable insights into engineering colossal expansion, the leadership mindset needed to wrangle this growth, and how his team handles agency valuations in their search to continue the agency's growth. Tune in to this must-listen episode if you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on taking your agency to the next level. Dimi Albers is the global CEO of DEPT, an agency that has seen phenomenal growth over the past eight years. He shares the pivotal moment back in 2014 when the partners at Dept decided to shift their focus from being a Netherlands-centric design and tech agency to becoming a global player that covers the full digital customer journey and the strategy behind acquiring 33 agencies. In this episode, we'll discuss: The road to scaling to $500M. Lessons from a cultural mismatch. Inspiring your leadership team. Elements to consider for an agency valuation.

Just go to AgencyMastery360.com/convert and unlock maximum profits. Taking a $500M Agency to Global Markets Back in 2014, Dimi's agency made the pivotal decision to expand its services and target international clients. They wanted to transform from a design and tech-focused agency into a company that covers the customer's full digital journey. This strategy was considered relatively unique and presented an opportunity for growth. At the time, the agency had a very good reputation in The Netherlands and was valued at 15 million USD. To support their ambitious plans, the agency partnered with a Dutch private equity firm. This partnership provided the necessary resources and expertise to accelerate their growth, despite initial reservations about working with a private equity firm. Even with capital backing, they remained relatively conservative in investments. Dimi focused on establishing profitability for core revenue drivers within a tight 12-18 month timeframe. The agency pursued a two-pronged growth strategy - mergers and acquisitions supplemented by nurturing intrapreneurial talent to drive organic business wins. Organic expansion from existing client relationships delivered a steady 25% annual growth rate, which compounded as M&A activity layered in. For Dimi, scaling an agency is fundamentally a people business and requires making sound decisions consistently rather than betting on a few big moves. It may sound boring, but he cautions against the idea of explosive growth and highlights the unglamorous but crucial factors like hard work and incremental smart choices. His agency methodically built its value proposition in the Dutch market first. From this solid foundation, they gradually expanded into Europe, the US, and ultimately APAC - advancing to new geographies only after careful evaluation of their capability strengths and each market's receptiveness. This thoughtful, capability-driven approach to global scaling enabled successful service expansions into new territories. Trusting Your Gut: Lessons from a Cultural Mismatch Quite early in their journey, when they were far less experienced, DEPT partnered with an agency that ended up being a cultural mismatch. This was the sole instance Dimi can recall facing such an issue. Being a first for him at that stage, Dimi admits to underestimating how long it would take to recognize and address the disconnect. Ultimately, even though the merger was a sound financial decision, the misaligned team needed to be merged with a more culturally compatible group to rectify matters. Looking back, he thinks he could have made faster decisions by just trusting his gut. It's possible to determine with a high level of certainty whether a partnership or hiring decision will work out after speaking with someone for a certain amount of time. In this sense, he's learned to trust his intuition and instincts in business. How To Deal With “Difficult” Clients at Your Agency Dimi's agency evolved from being generalist to niche-focused through strategic mergers and acquisitions. As specialized firms joined, it opened up new service offerings and vertical markets like Amazon advertising expansion across Europe. Their vision for growth centered on meeting client needs first. Starting with establishing a strong portfolio in the Dutch market, they then expanded across Europe as demand grew. For Dimi, prioritizing client satisfaction and value delivery guides their expansion more than conquering specific regions. Within the agency, discussions revolve around ensuring both client and employee happiness take center stage before finances. Dimi meets daily with clients for meaningful dialogue on how his team generates value. He also connects with internal teams to gauge engagement, workload balance, and overall well-being. When challenging client relationships surface, Dimi emphasizes communication to understand root issues, turn situations around through solutions, and either improve dynamics or mutually part ways if necessary. Balancing Innovation and Strategy in Agency Growth Scaling an agency requires clarity about some key questions. First of all, WHO; Who do you want to go after? Who do you need to hire to achieve this? Who do you need to become? Additionally, Dimi has also learned to think about the WHAT and HOW, because he's found there's a big difference between people who are good at defining the “what we're going to do”, and the ones who are good at the “how we're going to do it”. Instead, of looking for the unicorn who is good at both, he recommends looking for the brilliant WHAT people and the brilliant WHO people. Working and collaborating with individuals who complement each other's strengths requires self-awareness and the ability to recognize one's own limitations. As a visionary who is mostly concerned with the ideas or the WHAT Dimi has run into some challenges when it comes to the structure systems an agency needs once it starts experiencing growth. In the past, he's been slow to listen to the "how" people, who have a more cautious and strategic approach, which is something he continues to work on. How to Inspire Your Team to Dream Beyond What is Logical Although he admits to not being the best manager, Dimi knows his strength lies in inspiring people to think beyond what is logical. And he does it by setting the example. When he and his partner created the plan to expand and scale globally, everyone thought they were crazy. However, once they reached their goals in record time, they proved the sky was the limit. Their vision not only challenged the team to think bigger but also provided a clear direction for the organization to strive towards. Inspiring your team is about achieving something unique. It's not necessarily about numbers and growth, it can also be about craft. Show them the impact they're having. For instance, if you work with non-profits, show them how their work is helping change the world for the better. Reach beyond their perceived limitations and you'll be motivating them to keep going. Additionally, he also highlights the importance of vulnerability and personal connection. As a leader, Dimi openly talks about his mistakes. This vulnerability creates a sense of authenticity and trust within the team. It allows team members to feel comfortable sharing their struggles and mistakes, fostering a culture of learning and growth. Key Considerations for Successful Acquisitions Dimi's agency has been acquiring agencies for some time as part of its expansion plans. For him, there are two main elements for a successful merger: capabilities and geography. Beyond that, they'll consider: Culture: It is the first and most important aspect they'll consider. Can they see themselves working and growing with their team? Quality of their work. Quality of their second and third generations: Basically, they look beyond the founders. Do they have a good team around them who are ambitious enough to keep growing and running the business once the founders decide to scale back? Numbers: His agency has excellent growth and margins, so any agency that joins them must be at that level so it doesn't devalue the whole when they join. 8 Elements to Consider When Doing an Agency Valuation While a general rule of thumb is that an agency making a million in EBITDA could be valued at four times that amount, there several factors that contribute to much higher multiples paid for agencies with exceptional qualities, such as: Growth rate: The faster an agency grows, the more valuable it becomes. Market: The markets that the agency is addressing also play a role in its valuation. Agencies that are targeting larger and more lucrative markets will generally be valued higher than those targeting smaller markets. Team: It's important to have a talented and capable team. A strong team can contribute to the agency's growth and success, which in turn increases its value. Profitability: The margin percentage, or profitability, influences an agency's valuation. Higher margins indicate a healthier financial performance and can lead to a higher valuation. Addressable market: Agencies operating in markets with more potential for growth and expansion will generally be valued higher than those in smaller markets. Popular and sought-after capability: Agencies that specialize in a highly in-demand area, such as AI technology consultancy, will be valued higher due to the premium placed on their expertise. Recurring revenue: Agencies that have a significant portion of their revenue coming from retainer contracts are considered more valuable than those relying solely on project-based revenue. Revenue concentration: Diversification of clients and revenue sources is preferred and can contribute to a higher valuation. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

Developing a new product for launch involves a lot of effort and expense. To maximize your return, it's important to know 1.) the size of the market for your offering to determine your potential return and 2.) how to prioritize your target customers for a successful launch to build momentum. From your addressable market, how do you find the early adopters?I had a fun conversation with Mehdi Farzanehpour, CEO of Scitodate, about this topic, which he refers to as central market intelligence. Typically one would do a lot of research to determine the size of your market. Reports are available, but they are rarely an exact fit. If your product is truly new, how could they be? So there is a bit of estimation and interpretation involved.Lucky for you, the the interwebs contain all kinds of information available about who is doing what, how much money they have, when they will get more, who do they collaborate with and how long they have been using their current products.If you are dealing with millions, like if you're selling shoes or Nike shoes, 2% is a very good conversion. But now the question is how can I get start getting 35% conversion? That I can just talk to the right people? I know what they're doing. So now the question is, who can I talk to? What their problems are? What is their need? How can I address that need? That data can be helpful not only in evaluating the size of the market, but also in discovering the likely early adopters. Which researchers are working at the edge capability of their current technology? Those are your first customers.We covered a lot of ground in this episode from maximizing lead generation to optimizing for conversion and how to help a sales team be relevant and helpful to their prospects.I enjoy doing these interviews.

Tracsis CEO, Chris Barnes and CFO, Andy Kelly, present full-year 2022 results for the period ended 31 July 2022, followed by investor questions. In summary, Chris Barnes says, "I am pleased with the progress the Group has made this year in executing its growth strategy. We have delivered a financial performance aligned to our long-term strategic growth plan, with high levels of organic and acquisitive growth. Our Rail Technology and Services Division has won several multi-year software contracts, and in Data, Analytics, Consultancy and Events we have seen a strong post-Covid recovery in activity levels. We have a growing pipeline of opportunities in both Divisions, and we have expanded our addressable markets including our first direct entry into the large and growing North America rail market with the acquisition of RailComm. The post-acquisition performance of this business has been particularly pleasing, with good revenue and profit performance, new orders secured for its core products, and an encouraging level of interest in products from elsewhere in the Group that are already well established in the UK. These opportunities leave us well placed to deliver further growth. The UK rail industry's transition to a new Great British Railways structure is ongoing and the overall objective is to create a data-driven, customer-focused, safety-critical future for the industry. Digital transformation will play a significant role in the industry's transition and our range of rail technology products and services is well-placed to help the rail industry deliver operational performance improvements and efficiency savings. We continue to invest in implementing a more integrated operating model to help us to execute our growth strategy. I was particularly pleased to see the launch of the OneTracsis leadership development programme during the year, which is an important initiative as part of our commitment to investing in developing our people and growing the next generation of leaders in our business. We are also making good progress in implementing a single groupwide IT operating model, under the direction of an experienced technology leader who has been recruited to further enhance senior management bandwidth. Tracsis is fully committed to delivering sustainable growth that benefits the communities in which we, and our customers, operate. The Group's products and services are well aligned with this vision, and support our customers in delivering positive environmental and social outcomes. This year we have formalised our sustainability strategy and set ourselves the ambition of being carbon neutral by 2030 for scope 1 and scope 2 emissions from Tracsis operations. Q1 trading is in line with the Board's expectations. We are confident that there are strong growth prospects for all parts of our Group and therefore remain committed to implementing our overall strategic growth and investment plans. We will continue to pursue organic and acquisitive growth supported by a strong balance sheet."

Tom's Notes:This week we're sitting down with Mike Shwedick. Mike has 14+ years in the HR space, working with companies like Apple, Tapout Fitness, Moxie, Addressable, and most recently the Pinpoint team. Mike walked us through his approach to ensuring HR teams eliminate unconscious bias and hire a representative pool of candidates, even if they're a bootstrapped startup with minimal assets. If you're looking to make an impact and gain a competitive edge, you'll love this episode.One of the biggest mistakes companies make is paying lip service to grandiose Diversity & Inclusion plans before they have the resources to make those plans a reality. “So first, be really honest about where you are. If you're at a level one out of ten, stop the bad practices and bad actors as a first step. Put a process in place to get you to a two or a three.”For small businesses and startups, Mike first works to understand the state of things: basics like headcount, established processes, and significant pain points. Then he looks forward to an organization's ideal state, including elements like growth, funding, etc. From there, he establishes the core HR processes and software that will create the foundation of a healthy People Ops team, including an HRIS and an ATS. With a single source of truth and a streamlined way to manage employee and applicant data, it's much easier to take steps to eliminate individual bias from the way companies manage their teams.One of the organizations where Mike put his considerable talents to good use is Opportunity@Work, a nonprofit with a fantastic mission: to increase career opportunities for working adults without a four-year degree. Mike tells us how even with blinded applications, an enormous percentage of diverse candidates are overlooked at the stage of screening for a bachelor's degree. His advice for how to open up your pipeline to a more representative pool of qualified candidates:Write intentional job descriptionsAsk about STAR status in the same way you ask about racial diversityThink about gateway jobsMitigate unconscious bias within teams and with hiring managers by delivering quality trainingBe honest about where you are
