Financial engineering or operational value add? As private equity's growth has evolved over several decades, the mechanics of deal structure, capital structure, and motivations have undergone changes across several eras. No longer just the barbarians at the gate anymore, many private equity firms have turned their attention from balance sheet gymnastics to delivering actual operating expertise for portfolio companies. In this episode of Capital Decanted, we answer important questions - what is driving this evolution? How are deal structures different today vs. in the late 1980s? And what is the playbook for a segment of the industry trying to deliver true value? To help us answer these questions, we are joined by Jacob Kotzubei, Co-President of Platinum Equity.Introduction: (0:48)Halftime: (52:00)Guest: (58:31)Guest: Jacob Kotzubei, Co-President, Platinum EquityEpisode Sources

L'Alpe 109 revue de "Artisans et métiers dʹart" : LʹAlpe à la découverte de lʹartisanat alpin dʹhier et dʹaujourdʹhui, aux éditions Glénat. Un article sur le livre de lʹécrivain Blaise Hofmann et du photographe Vincent Guignet qui ont poussé la porte des ateliers de dix-neuf artisanes de Suisse romande qui exercent un métier que lʹon dit souvent "dʹhomme". Les uns sont sculpteurs sur bois, les autres découpeurs de papier, luthiers, facteurs de pianos mécaniques, forgerons, gantiers, tisserands, restaurateurs dʹart, horlogers, tavillonneurs. Leurs doigts dʹor manient tous les matériaux : le métal, la pierre, le bois, la céramique, la laine, le papier, le verre. Ce numéro de LʹAlpe va sʹinterroger sur la longue tradition de lʹartisanat alpin et sur la façon dont tous ces métiers sont aujourdʹhui réinvestis. Blaise Hofmann et Vincent Guignet sont les invités de Rafael Wolf.

Aujourd'hui, l'artisanat bouscule les clichés et revient au premier plan : savoir-faire, excellence, passion… Il est temps de faire le point sur l'image de ces métiers qui façonnent notre quotidien.Dans cet épisode, Mariette de Copeaux & Co reçoit Mathias Laurent, artisan et gérant d'Alterisolation, et Christophe Ducasse, artisan et gérant de MNC Électricité, pour passer au crible concours de prestige, influenceurs du geste, storytelling médiatique et perception des jeunes générations.On parle notoriété, reconnaissance, et fierté du métier. L'artisanat n'a jamais été aussi visible… Mais est-il vraiment reconnu à sa juste valeur ?À écouter sur toutes les plateformes !Distribué par Audiomeans.

Je connais La Chica/Sophie Fustec depuis pas mal d'années, je ne sais même plus ou je l'ai rencontré mais on a du bien rire ce jour là. A cette époque, elle accompagnait avec maestria un chanteur de variété française qui se demandait ou était le bonheur. Puis elle a joué avec d'autres artistes souvent qualitatifs et exigeants comme Yael Naim, Zap Mama ou Mayra Andrade, tout en travaillant avec moi quand j'étais directeur musical de prime time sur France 2, on a encore une fois bien ri à cette époque. Un jour de répétition pour un de ces concerts, j'ai senti qu'elle changeait, que ce processus d'accompagner des artistes ne lui allait plus. Elle était en train de créer La Chica, alors que je la forçais a jouer Le loup, le renard et la belette avec Tri Yann dans les conditions du direct à Quimper, à des heures de grande écoute nationale. Je comprends maintenant qu'elle n'avait plus la tête à cela. De fil en aiguille, elle a creusé son sillon, de videos virales aux concerts ultra habités, aux albums assez géniaux, Sophie s'est crée un alter ego dans lequel elle aménage la complexité de sa propre vie, et c'est très bien comme ça puisqu'elle en parle pour Artisans du son ! Bonne écoute.

Dans ce nouvel épisode, Mariette de Copeaux & Co reçoit Christophe Marais, fondateur et porteur d'affaires chez Sarl Marais, Christophe Firmin, plombier chauffagiste, et Fabienne Vignes, référente développement entreprise à la CMA Occitanie.Ensemble, on passe en revue les pièges les plus fréquents quand on débute dans l'artisanat : mauvais prix, outils inadaptés, solitude, clients ou devis flous, galères administratives… Des témoignages concrets, des conseils utiles, et surtout, un vrai guide de survie pour éviter de tomber dans les panneaux.Parce que réussir, c'est aussi savoir où ne pas mettre les pieds.À écouter sur toutes les plateformes !Distribué par Audiomeans.

Dive headfirst into the surprisingly cutthroat world of luxury watch intellectual property battles where the stakes are as high as the price tags. From Swiss ateliers to Silicon Valley boardrooms, the gloves come off when horological heavyweights defend their creations against customizers, competitors, and counterfeiters alike.When does personalization cross into infringement? The Rolex cases against Artisans de Genève and Becker Time reveal the fine line between owning a watch and owning its identity. We explore how courts have split hairs over modified dials, aftermarket bezels, and what it truly means for a timepiece to be "genuine" in the eyes of trademark law. Meanwhile, Vortic's vintage Hamilton restoration saga offers hope for artisans who respect heritage while creating something new.The battlefield extends beyond physical watches into digital domains. Samsung faced Swatch Group's wrath over app store watch faces mimicking luxury dials, while Richemont convinced courts to make internet service providers block counterfeit websites altogether. Even tech giant Apple wasn't immune when Swatch cheekily registered "Tick Different" and "One More Thing" trademarks, leaving the Cupertino company with no choice but to rebrand their smartwatch.Perhaps most fascinating is Audemars Piguet's global quest to protect their revolutionary Royal Oak design—a struggle revealing how difficult it is to claim exclusive rights to shapes that have defined entire categories. And as watches evolve into health monitors, AliveCor's patent war against Apple Watch's ECG feature shows us what happens when traditional horology collides with cutting-edge medical technology.Whether you're a watch enthusiast, legal professional, or simply fascinated by the intersection of luxury and law, these cases illuminate five timeless principles governing intellectual property in the modern marketplace.

In Japan's spiritual heartland, tradition meets craftsmanship in miniature form. Artisans in Ise are preserving centuries-old shrine-making by handcrafting sacred replicas for modern homes. At the family-run factory Miyachu, the craftsmen produce Ise no Shinden—miniature shrines that faithfully replicate the main sanctuary of Ise Jingu, known for its unique construction technique called Yuiitsu Shinmei-zukuri. Its simple architectural design is said to have originated from ancient raised-floor granaries. The wooden structure is built with Hinoki cypress trees without using any nails, employing a traditional joinery method. Another distinguishing feature is a thatched roof made of Susuki grass, which craftsmen at Miyachu carefully hand-prune using a pair of shears. Miniature shrines are often made to be used as kamidana—small altars enshrining Shinto deities that are commonly found inside Japanese homes or shops. Typically hung high on a wall, the altar often consists of various religious objects and offerings together with a small-scale shrine and is used as part of daily worship. The making of miniature Ise shrines dates back to the Edo period (1600–1868), when Ise Jingu was a major pilgrimage destination. “Many people came to Ise to worship and to receive sacred talismans or ofuda. Naturally, this created a need for kamidana—household altars to enshrine the ofuda. That's when the kamidana we make today began to spread across the country,” explained Yosuke Kawanishi, the third-generation head of his family business Miyachu. But like many other traditional crafts, Miyachu faces the challenge of a possible drop in demand as traditional customs fade. To survive, the company is trying to appeal to younger generations by producing a new line of kamidana shrines with a modern twist. Their latest designs are minimalist but retain the key features of Ise Shrine, such as a thatched roof. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Most of the time I'm having conversations with drywall professionals, but sometimes a plaster person wanders into the mix.  I was unsure when Jeremy's creative director reached out,  but I was also curious.  I'm glad we hooked up.  Jeremy is a guy I could be good friends with and I hope we stay in contact after this experience.  We have several parallels within our lives and we happen to be around the same age too.  Jeremy owns and developed a company called New Age Artisans out of Bozeman Montana.  He's been working in the plaster space for over two decades and has launched his own flavor of plaster.  Not only that, he hosts a podcast called The Aggregate where he interviews professional plasterers from around the globe.  He's the quintessential expert in Tadelakt and we talk a lot about that.  We skim all over the airwaves waxing poetic about the nature of walls and why he's made beautiful walls his passion on this, the 132nd, epiosode of TDP.   This episode of The Drywall Podcast is brought to you by Tape-Tech.  Find out more at www.tapetech.com

See pictures and read more on materiallyspeaking.comOriginally from Zurich, Maja was always keen to leave Switzerland and with an Italian grandmother perhaps Italy was always going to be her destination. She moved to Italy in 1991.She speaks to us about how her approach to work has changed. When she was young she liked seeing the impression her hands made on the work, while now she seeks smoothness and perfection.We meet Maja at her home - Artists Hill - an old farmhouse, surrounded by olive groves and a huge vegetable garden, which she has renovated into a home, studios, and a part that she rents out.First Maja shows us the room where she draws, and then we move over to her new modelling studio, opposite the house.In the middle of this room, towering above her, is a spiral column. It's a plastercast - soon to be realised in acrylic resin and earth.Maja tells us about a bas relief project in 16 panels called dressing. The question she originally posed was, “Can we change religion like clothes or is religion something inherent to us, you know, is it like part of us?"One of Maja's first pieces was Extension of Ego and now it takes pride of place in her studio. Maja still loves it and it represents the theme she still develops of externalising human traits in her work.Labrynth is another of Maja's pieces that follows the theme of a body's outside reflecting what is inside.majathommen.chinstagram.com/thommenmaja

Thanks for listening to Episode 39 of the Artisans of Steel interview series with Jayden Simisky.I only became aware of Jayden's work in the last couple of years, but in that short period of time, Jayden has really found a way to exemplify his own creative take on the form, function, and design of knives.

“I like to say sometimes we are an analog experience. Everybody today is talking about digitalization, which is indeed important. But the digital means can never, ever replace the human connection between two people. We are artisans of memories. It's the software of our hotels. The hardware is in the beauty, how they look, but it would be completely empty and without soul if it was not about the people.”We're in great company with Ingrid Koeck, a Partner of Torel Boutiques in Portugal where her passion as an “Artisan of Memories” lies in crafting unique places. By infusing soul into remarkable structures with Portuguese artistry and interior design she intentionally creates a profound human connection with curious travelers turned guests.With a growing collection of prestigious Portuguese boutique hotels sprinkled across Lisbon, Porto, the Douro Valley and soon the Azores, Torel Boutiques embody excellence around every corner—from the service to the amenities, the gastronomy to the ambiance, the distinctive moments turned memories. In this episode, Ingrid's natural storytelling captivates us as she weaves a narrative of her own life's travels, painting for us a picture of the passion she found in Portugal, the home she created there, and the tales of cultural heritage she continues to capture in this convivial chapter. Top Takeaways[2:05] Ingrid's life is full of many colorful chapters—from growing up in her grandmother's rural Austrian bed & breakfast to spending a decade with the UN across Africa and the Middle East—a story where diverse cultures have shaped her profound curiosity of and appreciation for authentic human connection.[7:05] Through life's unexpected turns, Ingrid learned to balance her need for both adventure and stability—evolving from a fearless young traveler to seeking her European roots and creating her own hospitality business where meaningful connections happen on her terms.[12:15] Shaped by the resilient women in her family, Ingrid's defining traits of curiosity and courage allow her to embrace new challenges with the unwavering confidence that no matter what happens, she can always take care of herself.[20:05] Through Torel Boutiques' thoughtfully designed spaces, Ingrid honors her grandmother's wisdom that true hospitality creates memories based not on things, but on how guests feel when personally connected.[25:00] Celebrate a legacy of Portuguese royalty with Torel Palace Lisbon and indulge in Michelin star gastronomy at 2Monkeys.[25:35] Honor the writers of Portuguese literature with Torel Palace Porto and study your senses at BLIND.  [26:40] Discover a history of Portuguese expeditions with Torel 1884 and sip on a vault of fine wines at Bartolomeu Bistro & Wine.[27:40] Savor the heritage of Portuguese vineyards at Torel Quinta da Vacaria and taste the terroir at Schistó.[31:30] Craft artisanal traditions such as soap making at Torel Saboaria. [35:55] Embrace the timeless tranquility of Portugal through nature-inspired sanctuaries at Calla Wellness & Spa—from Douro Valley's wine therapy to Lisbon's exotic chocolate-infused sanctuary.[39:20] Uncover a hidden gem at Torel Terra Brava shining soon on the Azores Islands.Visit For YourselfTorel Boutiques Website Lisbon: @torelpalace_lisbon Porto: @torelpalace_porto | @torel1884 | @torelavantgarde | @torelsaboariaDouro Valley: @torelquintadavacaria Azores: @torelterrabrava

Thanks for listening to Episode 38 of the Artisans of Steel interview series with Tre' Hill.I have been following Tre's work for a few years now and had the great fortune of meeting him at Blade Show in Atlanta last June.

I am really excited to get to know Tre' better in this conversation, to learn more about his polishing techniques, and to share that with you!You can see more of Tre's work on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/3rdhillcustoms/ Thanks so much to this month's Super Sponsors:

Filip Kozera sees parallels between Excel's democratization of data analytics and Wordware's mission to put AI development in the hands of knowledge workers. Drawing inspiration from Excel's 750 million users (compared to 30 million software developers), Wordware is creating tools that balance the rigid structure of programming with the fuzziness of natural language. Filip explains why effective AI development requires working across multiple abstraction layers—from high-level concepts to detailed implementation—while preserving human creative control. He shares his vision for “word artisans” who will use AI to amplify their creative impact. Hosted by Sonya Huang, Sequoia Capital Mentioned in this episode: Lovable: Generative AI app that builds UIs and web apps Her: 2013 Spike Jonze film that Filip uses as an example of how voice will not be the best modality to express knowledge work. Descript: AI video editing app that Filip uses a lot.  Granola: AI notetaking app Filip uses every day..  Gemini 2.0 Pro: Google's newest long context model that can handle 6000 page pdfs. Limitless pendant: Wearable device for collecting personal conversational context to drive AI experiences that Filip can't wait for to ship. DeepLearning.AI: Andrew Ng's amazing resource for learning about AI 3Blue1Brown: Grant Sanderson's incredible channel on YouTube that explains math and AI visually.

Thanks for listening to Episode 37 of the Artisans of Steel interview series with Josh Weston.I am very excited to have my friend, Josh Weston, joining the Artisans of Steel podcast this month. I first discovered Josh's work in 2012, when I came across a forging progression for a tomahawk made out of a railroad spike. I didn't know it was Josh's until I saw him compete on Forged in Fire. Josh is now part of the very exciting Dragon Forge Experience, and is one of the most creative guys I know, making both fantastical and historical reproductions of swords and knives. Over the years we've gotten to know each other, and become good buddies, and I'm really excited to dive in and share some of his creativity with you!You can see more of Josh's work on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/joshaweston and https://www.instagram.com/dragonforgeexpOr check out his website, here:https://www.joshaweston.com/Thanks so much to this month's Super Sponsors:

See pictures and read more on materiallyspeaking.comDutch artist Anne-Claire trained and worked as a lawyer until she followed her heart to become an artist. She moved to Pietrasanta, where she lived, and worked, for 15 years. Now she divides her time between the Hague and Pietrasanta.After the pandemic she was looking for a way to capture peoples' thoughts and emotions in order to make a three-dimensional sculpture of them in clay. Having discovered that a traditional scanner was unable to grab the emotion she saw in a split second, Anne-Claire was happy to meet Claudio Giustiniani of ArtaxLab in Pietrasanta, who showed her how he used 30 Nikon cameras in conjunction with a 3-D printer. Working with Claudio she could get what she wanted and began her project to capture the emotions around the experience of COVID-19 called My Collection of Souls.To create her My Collection of Souls Anne-Claire talked to the person about COVID-19 and, at the exact moment she saw their strongest expression, she pressed the button on the cameras. Claudio and she discuss in this episode how they created the work - from taking the photograph through to the finished collection.Another collaboration Anne-Claire made was with photographer Gail Skoff.Gail came to this part of Italy in 2017 to photograph the quarries of Carrara but soon became fascinated by the artists working in marble. When she met Anne-Claire they instantly clicked, and embarked on a collaboration with Gail's photographic collage technique. Gail likes to enter the world of the artist and elaborate on their process, creating more of an impression of the artist's work rather than its ultimate reality.Anne-Claire tells us how it was working with Gail and how happy she was to have Icarus flying.From her childhood, Anne-Claire was inspired by how Michelangelo expressed such soft emotions in hard marble. Below is a piece in tribute to him. Anne-Claire thought David's victory over Goliath was an excellent metaphor for our battle and the optimism needed to succeed during COVID-19.anneclaire.nlinstagram.com/anneclairevandenelshoutArtAxlab aims to build a bridge between the artisan world and digital technologiesartaxlab.cominstagram.com/artaxlab
