In this episode, Tom and Ben unpack the branding implications behind this week's biggest business headlines. They start with Apple's latest developer conference and whether the company is still seen as an innovation leader or has shifted into incrementalism. They also discuss a quirky new hold-music feature that Tom is excited about, and how Apple's brand promise of “things just work” creates high stakes when launching new products.They then shift to the protests in LA, examining how Trump's political maneuvers reframe the Democratic brand—and whether brands should speak up or stay silent in politically charged moments. The conversation moves into the Musk–Trump fallout, including stock crashes, retaliation threats, and what it means for Tesla's brand and Elon's decision-making.Next, they dig into Mondelez's lawsuit against Aldi for Oreo copycats, highlighting how brand confusion can spark legal battles. From there, they analyze Warner Bros. Discovery's decision to spin off streaming and cable units, the larger trend of strategic brand separation, and what it means for the media landscape.The episode closes with insights on global layoffs, the rise of the “AI economy,” how brands should handle internal messaging during cutbacks, and Alibaba's new AI-driven virtual try-on feature—what it signals for fashion, e-commerce, and marketing creativity.

In dieser Folge von „Fünfzehn Minuten über den Fünfzehnten“ tauchen wir ein in eine faszinierende Audiocollage, die Ihnen eine Werkeinführung in die Operette „Indigo und die 23 Räuberinnen“ bietet. Erfahren Sie von Monika Erb, der Geschäftsführerin von Basis.Kultur.Wien, alles über dieses Open-Air-Spektakel. Die erste Operette von Johann Strauß Sohn, ursprünglich „Indigo und die 40 Räuber“, wurde für diese Produktion auf knackige 80 Minuten gekürzt und mit einem „Wiener Twist“ in die Neuzeit überführt. Sie tourt vom 1. bis 23. Juni 2025 durch alle 23 Wiener Bezirke – und kommt am 15. Juni 2025 direkt zu uns in den Reithofferpark im 15. Bezirk bei freiem Eintritt Monika Erb berichtet über die enorme logistische Herausforderung dieser 23 Vorstellungen, die sie selbst an ihre „Angstgrenze“ brachte. Lassen Sie sich begeistern von der Handlung, die an „Ali Baba und die 40 Räuber“ angelehnt ist, und den farbenfrohen Bühnenelementen in auffälligem Indigo-Violett und Wiener-Rosa. Lernen Sie die einzigartigen Charaktere kennen: die kluge und willensstarke Fantasca, ihren verliebten, Mannerschnitten liebenden Janio, den karikaturhaften König Indigo, den volksnahen Ali Baba und ganz besonders den philosophischen Esel, der sich am Ende von menschlicher Machtgier befreit. Die Operette bietet zudem einen moralischen und feministischen Ansatz für ein friedliches Miteinander. Neben diesem musikalischen Highlight erwarten Sie spannende Berichte unserer Grätzelkorrespondentin Birgit Dhibi alias „Melty“ vom 30. Wasserweltfest** am Leopold-Mistinger-Platz, das ein Zeichen für ein friedliches Zusammenleben im 15. Bezirk setzt. Außerdem gibt es wie gewohnt aktuelle Veranstaltungstipps des Bezirksmuseums Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus, darunter die beliebte Kleidertauschparty und ein kreativer Hörspiel-Workshop für Kinder. Und natürlich werfen wir einen Blick auf die nächste Folge, in der das Museumsmaskottchen Rosina das Mikro ergreift. Co-Moderatorin dieser Folge ist ebenfalls Birgit Dhibi.

Sourcing expert Isaac Hetzroni, aka @thesourcingguy, shares tips on China, AI, factory tours, and finding top suppliers. Essential insights for smarter e-commerce strategies.   Join us as we explore the dynamic world of sourcing with Isaac Hetzroni, aka @thesourcingguy, a rising influencer known for his insightful content on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. Isaac, though lesser-known in the Amazon space, shares his extensive experience in manufacturing, having grown up in the industry with his family's apparel and electronics factories. He provides valuable insights on whether businesses should look beyond China for sourcing, and shares practical tips on understanding product costs and minimizing risks. Isaac's engaging social media presence brings these topics to life, making sourcing strategies both informative and entertaining.   We'll also examine the complexities and misconceptions surrounding sourcing from China, where advanced infrastructure and a skilled workforce have cemented its status as a manufacturing powerhouse. Despite pushes for diversification, replicating China's efficiency in other countries presents significant challenges. Apparel manufacturing emerges as a more adaptable sector for relocation, yet the transition is fraught with logistical hurdles. The discussion extends to global manufacturing trends and China's impact on the U.S. market, including the rise of Factory to Consumer strategies and the role of AI in overcoming language barriers, all of which are reshaping global trade relationships.   In this episode, we emphasize the importance of building strong business relationships, especially when dealing with Chinese suppliers. Personal connections often intertwine with professional dealings, and trade shows play a crucial role in maintaining these relationships. We explore strategies for finding the best suppliers beyond platforms like Alibaba, using tools such as Import Yeti and trade shows to discover high-quality factories. Additionally, we highlight the importance of quality control and the advantages of diversifying supply chains to new regions. Tune in to gain insights into effective sourcing strategies, quality control, and the evolving landscape of global manufacturing.

PSD, în căutarea doctrinei pierdute. Cum poate partidul să recâștige încrederea electoratului ANALIZĂ (Adevărul) - INTERVIU Important economist, autor a 50 de cărți: „Un dezastru pentru România. Adică lucrez și 65% dau la stat?” / Dă un exemplu de companie de stat „pe care politicienii au pus-o pe butuci” (HotNews) - România, pământ chinezesc. Branduri românești sunt aplicate pe produse realizate în China și apoi vândute în țara noastră. Expert: „Este un vid legislativ” (Libertatea) Elefantul din odaia nașterii guvernului și fereastra de timp care se închide (SpotMedia)De aproape o lună România are premier și guvern interimar cu puteri limitate. Nu va putea trimite pe 4 iunie la Bruxelles un plan fiscal adoptat de reducere a deficitului bugetar la 7%, o reformă fără de care urmează blocarea fondurilor europene.E posibil să fi obținut de la Comisia Europeană o mică amânare, până la final de iunie, pentru adoptarea planului prin OUG, altă soluție nu prea există, de către un guvern cu puteri depline.Ca să ne încadrăm măcar în această amânare, săptămâna aceasta ar trebui să avem cel puțin numele premierului și formarea guvernului să intre în linie dreaptă.Există un singur nume politic credibil, de la distanță, pentru cetățeni. Ilie Bolojan. Dar cel mai mare partid, indispensabil guvernării, este PSD. De el depinde însăși existența guvernului și în mod normal el ar putea pretinde legitim funcția.PSD nu o vrea în mod special, dar nici nu o poate da degeaba. Deci cere compensații. Și pe masă e zestre mare, de la șefia SRI, pe care președintele doar o propune, majoritatea o decide în Parlament, șefia Camerei Deputaților, a Senatului, dacă dl Bolojan devine premier, doua poziții de judecători CCR, ministerele cheie, șefiile radio și TV publice, Avocatul Poporului etc.Și, sigur, mai există o întrebare cheie. Poate Ilie Bolojan să aibă încredere în PSD, în solidaritatea acestuia la greu, chiar dacă obține un acord acoperitor al coaliției?Pe de o parte, PSD nu are decât o conducere provizorie până la congresul din august. Acum va semna Sorin Grindeanu, dar asta nu înseamnă că viitorul președinte va rămâne de acord cu înțelegerea și că o nouă formulă de conducere nu va încerca să o remodeleze sub presiunea răsturnării guvernului.Sunt multe întrebări sensibile în jurul cărora se învârt discuțiile acestor zile, dar ar fi  grav să mai treacă o săptămână cu tot felul de comisii și tatonări, fără desemnarea unui premier, comentează pe pagina SpotMedia jurnalista Ioana Ene Dogioiu.PSD, în căutarea doctrinei pierdute. Cum poate partidul să recâștige încrederea electoratului ANALIZĂ (Adevărul)Finalul ciclului electoral deschide în PSD o perioadă cu mize ce depășesc simpla schimbare de lideri. În toamnă, formațiunea politică va organiza un Congres pentru alegerea noii conduceri și redefinirea liniei ideologice. Cei care solicită schimbarea doctrinei au spus că Partidul Social Democrat trebuie să devină un partid conservator. Astfel, la următorul Congres al PSD partidul ar părăsi familia social-democrată europeană și ar putea să își schimbe și numele.În prezent, statulul PSD menționează că „Partidul Social Democrat este un partid de stânga modern şi progresist, un partid naţional cu vocaţie europeană, membru al Partidului Socialiştilor Europeni şi al Internaţionalei Socialiste, continuatorul tradiţiei social-democraţiei româneşti” și „promovează doctrina social-democrată”.Politologul Cristian Pârvulescu explică faptul că „stânga se centrează pe egalitate. Și la marile subiecte care sunt cruciale pentru egalitate, PSD este pe poziție ultraconservatoare cvasifascistă. De exemplu, problema căsătoriei între persoanele de același sex sau a parteneriatului civil. Problema avortului. (...) Problema migrației. Sunt foarte multe probleme pe care le abordează din perspectivă de dreapta. (...) în Europa centrală și de est nu s-au putut construi partidele de stânga, pentru că au fost decredibilizate de comuniști și pentru că nu prea a existat susținere”.Practic, PSD este un partid post-comunist dezideologizat, un partid care încearcă să ia voturi de peste tot, pentru care ideologia nu are nicio importanță, completează expertul pentru ziarul Adevărul.INTERVIU Important economist, autor a 50 de cărți: „Un dezastru pentru România. Adică lucrez și 65% dau la stat?” / Dă un exemplu de companie de stat „pe care politicienii au pus-o pe butuci” (HotNews)Directorul Institutului de Prognoză Economică din cadrul Academiei Române, Lucian Albu, reputat economist de dreapta și profesor, a discutat pentru publicul HotNews despre măsurile necesare României în dezbaterea echilibrării bugetului. Albu a atras atenția că una dintre cele vehiculate măsuri poate avea cele mai nefaste efecte pentru populație: impozitarea progresivă. „Cum am mai stimula forța de muncă să mai muncească?”, spune el. Economistul consideră că pe termen scurt creșterea TVA pentru celelate categorii care nu sunt în prezent la cota de 19% poate să fie o sursă „foarte sigură de a crește gradul de colectare și de a mai reduce din deficit”.România, pământ chinezesc. Branduri românești sunt aplicate pe produse realizate în China și apoi vândute în țara noastră. Expert: „Este un vid legislativ” (Libertatea)Tot mai multe companii autohtone comercializează în România produse cu propriile branduri și logouri, dar, de fapt, acestea sunt realizate în China. Acest fenomen se observă în special în industria auto și cea de electronice, dar este valabil și în altele, precum mobilă sau textile.Aceste produse sunt mai scumpe decât se vând în statul asiatic, câteodată costă chiar dublu sau triplu, sunt dar mai ieftine decât modelele europene sau americane similare comercializate în țara noastră. Libertatea vă prezintă cele mai întâlnite cazuri.Dacia Spring este, de fapt, un Dongfeng.Modelul electric al producătorului auto nu are nimic de-a face cu fabricile de la Mioveni. Acesta este produs în China de către un alt partener de afaceri al Renault, respectiv producătorul de stat Dongfeng. Însă în timp ce modelul chinez pornește cu un preț de la 5.500 de dolari pe Alibaba, echivalentul a 4.850 de euro, în România, grupul francez a trecut un preț de pornire de la 16.900 de euro în cea mai puțin dotată versiune, conform site-ului Dacia. Versiunea cea mai scumpă are un preț de listă de 19.900 de euro. Prețul prin programul Rabla pleacă de la 11.400 de euro.Sorin Mierlea, președinele asociației Infocons, care se ocupă cu protecția consumatorilor, spune că nu există legislație care să definească foarte clar ce înseamnă produs românesc.

Alibaba. Tencent. JD. Pinduoduo. Run down the list of China's most valuable companies and you'll find, for the most part, that they're all e-commerce companies—or at least facilitate e-commerce.

In this episode of the Power of Zero Show, host David McKnight addresses the claim that sees Paul Atkins owning 54 life insurance policies for an astounding 10% of his $327 million net worth. Someone may ask themselves why someone with such a massive net worth would own so many life insurance policies…and even why someone who has equity in Chinese tech giant Alibaba, holdings in cryptocurrency, and stakes in venture capital firms would also want their wealth growing in cash value life insurance policies. Looking at Atkins, who's President Trump's nominee to chair the Securities and Exchange Commission, can help understand how the ultra-wealthy view taxes and wealth accumulation. One possibility could be that Paul Atkins may have exhausted all of the usual sources of tax-deferred and tax-free growth available to him through government-sponsored retirement plans.  Something worth remembering: Cash Value Life Insurance policies don't have any income threshold, and they have no contribution limits at all. A second potential scenario that has led Atkins to have over 50 life insurance policies is that he might be looking for a way to diversify his holdings. David points out to the fact that owning shares in single stocks like Alibaba – like Atkins does – can be a fairly risky proposition. Cash value and life insurance policies like whole life or IULs, on the other hand, aren't exposed to market risk. There's yet another possibility: Atkins may not be the insured on all the policies. According to the ethics filings, the cash value of the policies in question ranges from as low as $1,000 to well over $1 million. For some experts, that may be a sign that Atkins is investing in life settlements. The final potential scenario is the one in which Atkins owns all the policies for the purpose of estate planning. David points out that there are many more efficient ways to purchase life insurance policies than buying 54 separate contracts David shares that he understands the concept of wanting to spread your risk out among multiple carriers, but feels that doing so through the purchase of 54 different policies is a bit extreme. David points out that diversifying away from the stock market with some of your portfolio is, typically, a good idea. Want safe and productive growth without the risks associated with traditional bond allocations? Look at cash value life insurance policies, says David. Remember: cash value life insurance can also be beneficial because many carriers allow you to receive your death benefit in advance of your death. While it's true that cash value life insurance isn't for everyone, Paul Atkins ethics disclosure shows that it can play a critical role in someone's long-term wealth-building strategy.     Mentioned in this episode: David's national bestselling book: The Guru Gap: How America's Financial Gurus Are Leading You Astray, and How to Get Back on Track DavidMcKnight.com DavidMcKnightBooks.com PowerOfZero.com (free video series) @mcknightandco on Twitter  @davidcmcknight on Instagram David McKnight on YouTube Get David's Tax-free Tool Kit at taxfreetoolkit.com Paul Atkins Alibaba

Investor Masayoshi Son became notorious for making huge bets on technology companies. He once lost 96% of his fortune, but he's still a billionaire thanks to successes like Yahoo! and Alibaba. BBC business editor Simon Jack and journalist Zing Tsjeng tell the tale of the billionaire who founded the conglomerate SoftBank and was once, very briefly, the richest person in the world. As the child of Korean immigrants in Japan, Son's childhood took in sharing a home with pigs, an obsession with the businessman who brought McDonald's to Japan, and a move to study in the USA aged 16. The podcast that tells tales of titans of technology, Wall Street moguls, pop stars, sporting legends, CEOs and entrepreneurs also explain how Son overcame a diagnosis that meant he was once given just two years to live. Then Simon and Zing decide if Son is good, bad, or just another billionaire.

In this eye-opening episode of The Daily Signal podcast, Rob Bluey interviews Chris Iacovella, CEO of the American Securities Association. Iacovella recently testified before Congress about a disturbing financial reality many Americans are unaware of. Iacovella explains how Wall Street exploits multiple loopholes that allow companies controlled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to access American capital markets, despite laws prohibiting foreign ownership of Chinese companies. Key points discussed: How American investments are unknowingly funding CCP activities, including the internment of Uyghurs, PLA weapons systems, cyber attacks against the U.S., and what the State Department has classified as genocide The "Variable Interest Entity" loophole: Americans who think they're buying shares in Chinese companies like Alibaba are actually only purchasing rights to a contract with a Cayman Islands company that contracts with the mainland Chinese company The "Passive Index" loophole: Asset managers include mainland Chinese companies in index funds sold to U.S. investors, allowing these companies to access American capital without complying with U.S. laws and regulations Bipartisan legislation from Rep. Andy Barr and Sen. John Cornyn aimed at identifying Chinese companies with ties to the military or specific technology infrastructure Why China's economic competition is fundamentally unfair: "When you have slave labor, no environmental laws, no OSHA laws, and no labor laws, of course it's going to be cheaper" Iacovella also explains the mission of the American Securities Association as a non-Wall Street trade association representing approximately 100 member firms across the country. Its mission is to "promote investor trust and confidence and to facilitate the flow of capital to small businesses across America."
