Podcasts about Apron

The Spurs had the lead, the crowd had the vibe, and the Knicks still walked out with a 2-0 series edge. We react in real time to a Game 2 that flips from “go to bed early” to full chaos, starting with Victor Wembanyama getting a clean late look and ending with the kind of execution questions that decide NBA playoff series. We also get into the moment that keeps bugging us: when you've got a timeout and only seconds left, why are you choosing speed over clarity? From there, we zoom in on what the Knicks are actually doing right. Jalen Brunson misses, keeps shooting, and the entire team wants him taking the next one anyway. That trust changes everything. We talk Knicks shot creation, paint pressure, the value of role players who do their job, and why this group feels like it has “clicked” at exactly the right time. On the Spurs side, we look at adjustments, fatigue, and why being down 0-2 doesn't automatically mean the series is done. Then we pull the lens back to team-building in the second apron era: why the old big-three blueprint is fading, why depth and rookie contracts matter more, and how that frames a Celtics debate around Jalen Brown, Jason Tatum, and what a real identity rebuild would require. We finish with an NFL detour on the AJ Brown trade, Drake May versus Caleb Williams, the Madden cover outrage machine, and a Chicago Bears stadium rant that somehow turns into a civic philosophy argument.

On today’s episode, Jason discusses the fallout from the Oklahoma City Thunder's Game 7 loss to the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals, including: why Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is unlikely to ever win another NBA MVP award, whether OKC can count on Chet Holmgren moving forward as they try to navigate a Western Conference playoff race featuring Victor Wembanyama, why the emergence of Cason Wallace could lead to guys like Lu Dort and Aaron Wiggins getting traded, how the NBA's dreaded 2nd Apron could derail the Thunder's 'dynasty' before it ever really started, whether disgruntled superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is a realistic trade option for the Thunder, and much more! #OddCouple Follow Jason on Twitter and Instagram.

The NBA is changing, and Rooster and House are here to explain why the era of the three-megastar "super team" might finally be over. They discuss how the league's new apron system is rewarding teams that prioritize depth and chemistry over top-heavy rosters, using the current Knicks and the young powerhouses in the West as Exhibit A. The conversation shifts from the hardwood to the legal arena, where the guys break down a massive victory for the Seventh Amendment. Brian Flores' successful push for a jury trial against the NFL is a game-changer that could send shockwaves through professional sports front offices. They provide the kind of "insider" legal analysis you can only get from a room full of lawyers, explaining why the NFL is suddenly very eager to keep its internal emails out of the public eye.   To round things out, House introduces a brand-new segment, "Things About Which House Wants to Riff," starting with a comprehensive look at how rule changes have transformed the NFL, MLB, and NHL. From the "passing league" evolution that protects quarterbacks to the absolute success of the MLB pitch clock, they weigh in on what's saving the games and what's making them unrecognizable. It's a fast-paced episode that blends high-level sports analysis with critical legal and structural insights you won't want to miss.

(0:00) Mark Dondero & Andrew Callahan - in for Zolak & Bertrand - open up the hour discussing the future of the Boston Celtics. Are you splitting up the Jay's? Are you making Derrick White expendable this offseason? How do the Celtics manage the 2nd Apron next season?(11:47) Do you want the Celtics to trade for Bucks Superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo? Where does the Greek Freak ultimately land this offseason? The guys talk about Giannis' potential fit on the Celtics if he we to be acquired.(22:08) Cavaliers Head Coach, Kenny Atkinson, is convinced that the Cavaliers are beating the Knicks on analytics despite being down (0-3) in the Eastern Conference Finals. Dondero and Callahan react to his comments and whether analytics have gone too far in the NBA.(31:26) It's Memorial Day! The guys re-live some of the most memorable Boston teams/games that "kicked you in the nuts".See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Leigh Stallard is joined by Lara Manton and Robbie White for a packed episode recorded in the wake of Accountex 2026. Between them they cover eight stories spanning practice management, bookkeeping automation, MTD, AI strategy and the long-running question of what an accountant is actually for. Duane Jackson's Sodium has moved to general availability. It is API-first, built around a single client record and designed with AI integrated from the start rather than bolted on later. Leigh frames the real challenge not as product quality but as firm inertia: practice management is the Lego wall nobody wants to dismantle, and a golden brick is only useful if someone is prepared to pull the old ones out. Lara and Robbie both know from experience how painful that process is, and the conversation turns quickly to whether AI-assisted migration might eventually lower the barrier. Apron's William AI is now generally available, having launched in beta in March. Lara walks through what it actually does: connecting to client email inboxes, extracting and categorising documents, publishing to Xero or QuickBooks, and flagging anything it is not confident about. The auto-publish toggle defaults off and needs firm-specific guidance rules to reach its potential. The beta hit 50% autonomous publish rate; the GA pitch is 90% for firms that put the configuration work in. Robbie leads on the Xero and Claude integration, which went live globally on 12 May. Early practitioner testing found it read-only, limited to account-level data and prone to missing transactions. Leigh and Lara discuss what it means that the major general ledgers are simultaneously embedding AI inside their own products and surfacing their data inside the large language models. Intuit's intelligence layer across QuickBooks covers AI-powered chat, portfolio benchmarking and a capability that appears pointed directly at end clients. Lara raises the concern that clients with incomplete books could get confident-sounding answers to questions they should be asking their accountant instead. Lara covers the QuickBooks AI-powered MTD checker, which flags duplicates, missing transactions and non-trading income sources before submission. QuickBooks claims the highest cumulative MTD pilot sign-ups during HMRC's testing period. Robbie welcomes it as a live use case rather than a theoretical one. Robbie covers Combinely, the browser-based AI co-worker backed by YC and OpenAI. Early UK adopters include Burgess Hodgson, where it handled 2,600+ tasks across December and January with a reported 75% reduction in income and expenditure creation time. Leigh raises the structural tension: a tool that sits on the periphery of a workflow is easy to adopt and equally easy to quietly drop. Lara covers FreeAgent's integration with Equali, pulling e-commerce data from Shopify into FreeAgent for reconciliation and categorisation, and notes FreeAgent's incoming Apron partnership as part of a broader push beyond its freelancer roots. The episode closes on the Accountex panel from ICAEW, ACCA and IFAC. The fat middle concern runs through the final section: AI handling transactional work, hollowing out the junior pipeline and, with it, the intuition that comes from years of doing the basics. Robbie's view is that AI will eventually learn the human stuff too. The question is what accountants do with the time that creates.   Chapter list 00:00 Introduction and Overview of Topics 04:00 The Launch of Sodium: A New Practice Management Tool 08:25 Apron's William AI: Enhancing Document Management 12:44 General Ledgers and AI Strategies 23:31 QuickBooks AI-Powered MTD Checker Flags Errors Before Submission, Not After 27:18 Combinely's AI Co-Worker Handles 2,600+ Tasks in a Month for Early UK Firm Adopters 30:45 FreeAgent's E-Commerce Expansion 36:09 The Future of Accountancy: AI and Brand Perception

After coming to the conclusion that they won't make any significant changes to the core, we explore how they can create more tax and apron flexibility so they can replenish their bench.NOTE: The stretched dead cap hit shown for Jonathan Isaac is incorrect.

Here's a thought worth sitting with. The single most powerful thing we can do to fight climate change is move toward clean energy. Solar, wind, hydro. Energy that doesn't cost the earth to produce. But while the big picture shifts, there's plenty we can do right now in our own lives. Think about the 5 Rs of Sustainability. Refuse what you don't need. Reduce what you use. Reuse what you already have. Repurpose the things that still have life in them. And recycle whatever is left. Start with just one of those this week. Pick the easiest one. Then build from there. Small choices, made by millions of people, add up to something enormous. The music we love was born from a culture that respected the land. Let's honor that.

Daniel Faigin emailed re: Android Shuffle Apps: "Marc: I primarily listen to music via my iPod Classic (extensive smart playlists, all on shuffle). But all my music (around 58,000 tracks), is on my Android phone, and there I used the Gone Mad Music Player. It can play the music downloaded to your device, and has a smart playlist equivalent to the iPod / iTunes capability. It's the backup for my iPod Classic. Just search for it on Google Play; it does require a small payment to support development and unlock full capabilities. Alas, fewer phone manufacturers are supporting an external memory card (critical when you have a lot of music)  -  -  Samsung might at the lowest level, as well as Motorola. Other than that, you need more storage if you download music." Gershon commented on Patreon: "Sitting here in my favorite chair,  listening to #754, two dogs at my feet, reading and sipping my evening tea I heard your commentary regarding our wayward President and feckless Congress. Thank you!  You are on the right side of history. I appreciate this after the horrific week we've had. I am even prouder now to be a supporter and fan. Keep up the good work and make "good trouble."

Spring is a good reminder of what we stand to lose… and what we're fighting to protect. The science is clear. Human activity is driving climate change. Record heat. Rising seas. Disappearing seasons.

On this week's Dan Savage podcast episode #1000, they mentioned the Irish and celtic music podcast!!! Woot! Keep up the good work!" Chelle Fiddler emailed: "Hi Marc!  I am also a long - time Celtic musician.  As a player, I love the pin idea.  As an audient (my invented word for one audience, ; - ) ) I probably wouldn't buy it.  But that's just me.... I'm not inclined to listen to Celtic music at home.  I'm more likely to go to a live show, or even hire the band to play a house concert. I'm running the Celtic series at the Old Brogue in Great Falls now... I adopted that baby from IONA this past Fall.  Hopefully I can beg your help promoting the shows?  We need all the help we can get. : - ). I'm so very green at promoting shows, and now I'm running two concert serieses... serii?  Like you, I'm all about keeping this music alive and vibrant, and building an audience for my brilliant colleagues. All the best," Metta RavenHeart messaged on Patreon about show #748: "Here here and there there.  Your authenticity far outweighs any difference of opinion. Please continue to march for freedom.  Here in New Mexico we know what it is like to stand up against tyranny and racism, and you inspire us to continue." Alexander Randall 5th emailed: "Whether you make better patter or not, I will listen to you until I die. I mentioned the Galacian Celtic music. I am so intrigued by this sound. Some of it is like obvious jigs and reels and marches, but it also sounds like Flamenco some of the time and sometimes muslim  creep in.  It is very "spanish" and yet not.   And when the bagpipes come in, you think you are in Ireland... Here are four that you will find interesting. This one is by the kind of national Galacian folk arts concert.  It opens with an almost middle eastern sound, the the voices com in singing in Spanish and then the bagpipes hit and it turns into a celtic party... in spain!   This one opens with cricket and turns into a dance. This one is a jig.  It says so in the title but then it turns into something else  -   -  The Muneira is like the Galacian national dance... It could be scots... What country did this dance come from? You pick up all kinds of odd ideas.  Fiddle around with this Galician celtic music…"

Episode 409 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Ilia Papas, serial entrepreneur and co-founder of Band and Blue Apron. Do you know what the enchilada factor is? Probably not… unless you were part of the Blue Apron team that created a national brand and one of the pillar companies in the meal-kit food delivery category that ultimately went public. In this interview, Ilia shares the inside look at those hypergrowth years, including the company's use of machine learning for planning labor and food ordering, so they could fulfill those enchilada orders (also known internally as the enchilada factor) which always caused a spike when it was offered on the menu. Ilia's latest company is Band—and no, it's not the musical kind. Instead, the company is focused on a massive, underserved sector where trillions of dollars flow between businesses, yet technical innovation has been severely lacking. Band has built the smart operating system for B2B trade agreements, providing AI-powered rebate and incentive tracking for distributors, manufacturers, and purchasing groups. In this episode of our podcast, we cover: * Ilia's background story, plus the details on his siblings and their collective success in the tech industry. * Interning at his brother Art's company, Bullhorn, and then building the foundation of his career at web consulting firms like Molecular and Optaros, where he worked on the original version of Rue La La. * How he met his co-founder, Matt Salzburg, and why they pivoted from a “Kickstarter for science” idea to food delivery in 2012. * Bringing on a third co-founder, Matt Wadiak, who brought the culinary expertise and why they names the company Blue Apron. * Their approach to growth marketing to compete against HelloFresh & Plated and scaling to millions of meals a week. * The story of the IPO in 2017 and the unique challenges of running a publicly traded company * All the details about Band and why Ilia chose this underserved industry, plus how his approach to building a company is different this time around. * And so much more!

In this episode, Apron founder Bogdan Uzbekov explains how he built a 100+ person payments team, created a culture where people “do the work of their lives”, and why his 10-year vision includes building something in space. For UK bookkeepers, accountants and small business owners, this is a practical masterclass in leadership, team culture and modern business payments. The way you build your team and choose your technology stack directly affects cash flow, client experience and your capacity to grow. Bogdan shares what he learned in almost a decade in payments, how Apron was designed around accountants and bookkeepers, and the leadership principles he uses to scale quickly without losing quality. By the end of this episode, viewers will understand how high-growth fintech thinking can be applied inside a small UK bookkeeping practice. Hosted by Jo Wood and Zoe Whitman from The 6 Figure Bookkeeper, this Leadership Takeover Session connects real founder experience with the day-to-day reality of running a modern practice. Bogdan has spent nearly 10 years in payments, built Apron from concept to a fast-growing funded company, and now leads a team serving SMEs, accountants and bookkeepers across the UK. In this conversation, Jo and Zoe explore how Bogdan moved from a background in physics and research into startups and payments, why he chose the pace of entrepreneurship over a PhD, how Apron evolved from a simple frustration with broken business payments into a platform used by practices and their clients, what it really takes to grow a team from the first hire to over 100 people, how to design team culture deliberately so people can thrive, why he openly says “I love hustle” and how he balances that with family life, and his long-term ambition to “do something in space”. Bogdan is clear that great products are built by great teams. He explains why hiring is “really hard”, how Apron uses structured culture-led interviews, why values and learning speed matter more than technical skill alone, and why founders must eventually let go of control to allow new leaders to step forward. For UK bookkeepers, this offers a blueprint for moving from a solo practice to a small, high-impact firm. Apron is a business payments platform that helps small businesses pay suppliers and staff while keeping accountants and bookkeepers at the centre of the workflow. Bogdan Uzbekov is Apron's founder and currently leads a 100+ person team building payment infrastructure for UK SMEs. Platforms like Apron allow UK bookkeepers to centralise outgoing payments, improve visibility over cash flow, and introduce more structured client processes.

Franck Desplechin is a French-born chef turned luxury hotel food and beverage executive, with roots in Michelin-starred kitchens and brands like St. Regis and Auberge Resorts. After running iconic properties (including a wild Sedona chapter with his wife as co-leaders), he launched a nationwide task force and consulting practice and distilled his "chef mindset" leadership style into a book. Susan and Franck talk about building healthy, high-performing teams in high-pressure environments. What You'll Learn About: • Lessons from a 15-year-old apprentice about reliability, humility, and showing up that still matter in the C-suite • Navigating partnership when you and your spouse run the hotel together without killing each other (or the vibe) • How COVID, quarantine, and a pregnant partner forced a workaholic to completely rearrange his priorities • What the "chef mindset" really is and how to use adversity, rejection, and pressure as a leadership training ground • Spotting when your culture is out of balance between guest experience and employee experience • Rethinking "we have jobs because we have guests" and flipping it to a culture-first, people-first philosophy • What task force really looks like behind the scenes and how elite consultants show up differently than the average fill-in • Serving what the property needs vs pushing what you think they should fix as an external expert • Meetings that should absolutely die and how to spot the recurring time-wasters with zero impact • Simple daily rituals that build loyalty, like the 15-minute "hello tour" that makes your team feel seen • Where luxury F&B is headed next and why fewer, better outlets may beat "infinite options" for modern travelers *** Our Top Three Takeaways 1. Leadership in luxury F&B is shaped early, and built on discipline, humility, and constant learning. Franck traces his approach to leadership back to the foundations laid in Michelin-starred kitchens: showing up on time, staying coachable, being reliable, and remaining a lifelong student of hospitality. These habits, formed at age 15, still anchor his leadership today.  2. Task force success hinges on humility, flexibility, and meeting properties where they are. High-performing task force leaders don't walk in trying to fix everything. They focus on what the hotel truly needs, adapt to existing team culture, assess emotional dynamics, and provide continuity during leadership gaps. Ego and personal agenda have no place in effective interim leadership.  3. Luxury F&B's future is fewer outlets, sharper concepts, and deeper employee focus. Franck predicts a shift away from sprawling multi-outlet hotels toward tighter, more exceptional concepts, because guests increasingly value quality over variety and seek local experiences. He also argues that employee satisfaction should be measured and prioritized with the same rigor as guest satisfaction, because the guest experience depends on it.  Franck Desplechin on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/franck-desplechin/ Franck's Website https://www.cheffranck.com/ Other Episodes You May Like:  08: King Sheet Parachute with Justin Genzlinger https://www.topfloorpodcast.com/episode/08 174: Apron on a Fence with Mitch Prensky https://www.topfloorpodcast.com/episode/174 185: Squash Milk with Steve Fortunato https://www.topfloorpodcast.com/episode/185
