06/01 - Une belle sacoche Air Miles

Flying through a year of adrenaline-packed escapades, we've earned the nickname "Air Miles" for a reason! From thrilling shark encounters to hunting crocodiles and the challenge of cooking cormorants, this episode brings you along on our journey through the wild and wonderful world of outdoor exploration. With a foot in both real estate and the rugged outdoors, we've crafted a lifestyle where business meets adventure, blending fly fishing and bird hunting into unforgettable experiences with guests who bring their own tales of discovery.Bird hunting enthusiasts will find themselves in familiar terrain as we recount heart-pounding upland and waterfowl hunts. Our trusty companions, the pointers and retrievers, take the spotlight, showcasing their impeccable instincts. The joy of cooking freshly hunted grouse in Minnesota and the dance of waterfowl hunting at dawn are just a few of the vivid memories that highlight this section. As the stories unfold, the narrative paints a vibrant picture of why these outdoor pursuits remain so beloved, celebrating the camaraderie and sheer joy of time spent in nature.Unexpected adventures punctuate our tales, with spontaneous catches like a striped bass and a surprise encounter with a 44-inch northern pike adding twists to our fishing stories. We've shared these unexpected delights with friends, family, and even newcomers to the world of outdoor sports. Reflecting on lessons passed down through generations, we explore the ripple effect of introducing the next generation to the great outdoors, whether through Boy Scout trips or first-time fishing experiences. Join us as we relive these moments, and perhaps you'll find inspiration to create your own unforgettable outdoor memories.

In this episode we welcome Jason Beales of AIR MILES to talk about what the past year of the program and the loyalty industry brought us and what we can expect in 2025.

Sky News' deputy political editor Sam Coates and Politico's Jack Blanchard share their daily guide to the day ahead in politics in under 20 minutes.            Keir Starmer is back on his travels in Brazil for the G20 meeting. On his agenda is the first face-to-face meeting between a UK prime minister and a Chinese president since 2018.More on Starmer's mind may be the expectation that the UK will follow the US's lead in allowing long-range weapons to be used by Ukraine to hit targets within Russia.   Putin has said that any use of long-range missiles will be seen as the involvement of Nato in the conflict, so will the move risk escalating tensions? Plus, Jack and Sam set up what's ahead over the coming week. You can send a WhatsApp to Jack and Sam on 07511 867 633 or email them: jackandsam@sky.uk

Time is running out to keep the climate goals set out in the Paris Agreement within reach. Wealthy countries have introduced new industrial and green trade policy measures, but there are concerns that some of these are having adverse effects – hitting countries that have contributed the least to the climate crisis the hardest.This episode examines the concept of the ‘green squeeze' – the notion that climate-related trade policies are negatively impacting low-income countries, unfairly putting the burden of adjustment on them. We ask what the ‘green squeeze' means, both at a broader policy level and on the ground for producers having to adapt to these new trade measures.What can be done to help exporting countries navigate such measures?

Thirty years ago, AIR MILES® launched its Reward Program, essentially inventing the coalition loyalty concept. Over the course of three decades, the Canadian program has pulled together over 300 brands and thousands of retailers and service locations, offering collectors — the program's members — a massive amount of choice encompassing everyday and aspirational products, travel options, events, and attractions. Today, AIR MILES is making a resurgence as brands come together to share customer relationships, data and insight, and the power of the network. It's a perfect time to re-energize the AIR MILES brand, making the most of its assets, including its nearly 10 million collector base, a mountain of data, and most importantly, the value the program brings to Canadians.  Uniting a coalition of brands together under the auspices of AIR MILES created a powerful program not only because of how collectors can earn rewards points but also because of how they can be used. There's real power in giving people more choices and allowing them to earn and redeem wherever they shop.  Mark Johnson, CEO of Loyalty360, spoke with Shawn Stewart, President of AIR MILES, about the recent acquisition by BMO Financial Group (BMO), changing strategies to better serve the brands utilizing the program, and leveraging data to increase personalization.
