Puis, il cofonde Pretto.Tout part d'un constat simple : obtenir un crédit immobilier reste une démarche opaque, longue, et souvent décourageante.En 2017, Renaud Pestre et Pierre Chapon décident de s'attaquer au problème. Leur idée ? Tester la faisabilité d'un accompagnement 100 % en ligne, sans agence, mais avec un vrai courtier en coulisses. Ils lancent une première expérimentation sous le nom Mr. Crédit, avec une landing page, quelques campagnes d'acquisition et un partenaire prêt à traiter les dossiers manuellement.

Financial analysts were far more prepared than most CEOs for the US tariffs announced on April 2. Analysts, who serve as a proxy for the financial markets, anticipated tariffs would soon be an enormous issue, mentioning the topic 62% more often than did CEOs during Q1 earnings calls. That's the conclusion of the second edition of the CEO Radar—a tool to help CEOs determine which issues truly deserve their time and attention. It unpacks the leading topics discussed on almost 4,900 earnings calls worldwide in Q1 2025, enabling chief executives to compare their agendas to those of their peers, and to the market's expectations. On this episode of the CEO Radar Podcast, Edward Adams of Bloomberg Media Studios is joined by BCG Global Chair Rich Lesser and Michael Brigl, Head of BCG's Central European practice, to discuss how tariffs are likely to have a long-term effect on corporate operations.

GOALS August 9th and 10th in Knoxville, Tennessee. https://events.goa.org/goals/   - Dear WLS John M - Gentlemen, Who do you recommend to port a barrel and a slide? I don't want to add a Ramjet to my gun because of the extra length (plus i already have one on my G45). I like the idea of the Glock 19c, but its a Gen 3 and no optic cut. What is your opinion on this? Thanks! Hunter D - What closed emitter sight would you guys put on a Springfield prodigy 4.25” ? If this gun continues to pass my testing I'd like to use it in my EDC rotation. I'm open to options and not stuck on any brand. Budget is not a big concern but I'd say under $750 for sure and that should get me a lot of options. Hell I'm even open to open emitter but really want to try a closed emitter for this gun. Thank you in advance for any insight you guys can provide. #aaronisacunt #jeremyisNOTacunt #WLSISLIFE Aiden S - I don't know if I've ever heard y'all directly answer this question. It's been talked about indirectly, but I don't think it's ever been posed to you like thisWhen should a gun owner lose their gun rights—if ever? Should it be only while they're serving a sentence? Does that include everything from jail time to community service, or even while they're still paying off a fine? Or should their rights remain suspended beyond that period?And should it matter whether the offense was violent or non-violent when they're released from prison or done serving their sentence? A-in-your-face S - Last year I picked up a Desert Eagle. I bought it on a whim, because it was an awesome price. And damn, if it isnt hella fun to shoot. I would like to try and pig hunt with it. What optic, red dot, prism, etc. would yall recommend? I plan to the typical barrel rail mount. #NoNotes Jimmy Jimmy - Hey guys, I'm following up on a prior question about an extractor issue on an AR10 (episode 402, timestamp 1440-2122). I appreciate most of your suggestions and have the following results -contact the manufacturer *Unfortunately, this is not an option. I bought the BCG a while back but only recently tested it. Lesson learned. -check extractor spring & o-rings *All are present and appear identical. -check headspace by measuring bolt face to front of bolt & compare original to new. *Identical +/- .002”. Not enough difference to make a difference. -dump some hot wax in there and make a mold of each one to see if they're the same *Good idea, Aaron, but I'll pass. -put some JB Weld in there *Another great idea from Aaron. No, thanks. -test new bolt in old carrier *Same issue. -test old extractor in new bolt & carrier *Works! -compare extractors side by side *The failing extractor hook feels “sharper”. Maybe someday I'll look into modifying the misshapen extractor. Honestly, that's probably not going to happen. Final solution, I ordered a JP Enterprises enhanced extractor and I have full confidence it will work. Thanks for the help! Nick F - so I was in a local gun shop with a buddy last week. I came across thos aow shotgun pistols that hold like 4 rounds. what's your opinion on them? is it something you wouldn't mind under your driver's seat during riot season?

Chad Oakley,  CEO of  Charles Aris, a second-generation executive search firm, discusses their 55-year history and their focus on four areas. Charles Aris specializes in strategy and go-to-market practice, which places individuals into corporations, private equity firms, and portfolio companies. Chad explains their areas of expertise and mentions that the firm has a team of over 100 and has completed over 1,450 positions in this area in the last 21 years. They also have a finance and corporate development practice, which handles CFOs, FPAs, and candidates for merger and acquisition roles. Additionally, they have an engineering and operations practice that handles supply chain, CFO, and plant managers. The Changing Market for Consultants Chad, a former consultant, discusses the changing market for consulting in the age of uncertainty, and what the market is looking for. He traces back to April 2024, when consulting in the United States was down, particularly for top firms like Bain, BCG, McKinsey Strategy, and L.E.K EY Parthenon. The downturn was driven by higher interest rates and inflation. Chad talks about the factors leading to high interest rates and how it impacted consulting firms, private equity firms and M&A activity. He touches on how consulting firms reacted to this downturn and how it affected consultants. Chad shares a 2025 Compensation study conducted by Charles Aris showing a range of data that covers undergrads and MBAs, major consulting firms and competitors. He then shares three primary factors that caused a rise in the market in January 2025.  The market is now looking for new opportunities and challenges.  Key Factors Leading to Market Change for Consultants Chad explains the factors that led to the changes in the market over the past year. The newly elected President, Trump, was bullish on business, promising to rally markets better than Biden and eliminate red tape and regulations. This positive outlook led to a more optimistic outlook for the market. Business is recovering, creating solid momentum in the economy. In Q1 2024, companies started investing and private equity firms resumed deals, resulting in stronger demand for consulting services. However, the implementation of tariffs by the President has arrested this momentum, creating uncertainty for business leaders. The current tariffs have no playbook for them, and the possibility of changes in the future makes it difficult for current CEOs or business leadership teams to commit to action.  Chad shares a conversation he had with the CEO of a publicly traded manufacturing company CEO, who has manufacturing facilities in the US, China, and South America. He cannot justify the massive investment in onshore manufacturing due to the potential decrease in tariffs. This has halted deal momentum, particularly in consulting services. Despite this, consulting firms are still working on projects they sold in the first few months of the year. They are now trying to be strategic about their consulting services, focusing on key areas to win and play in the market. The Number One Area of Focus for Consulting Firms.  Chad explains that consulting firms are trying to be strategic in their direction, which has led to a focus on supply chain consulting. Companies are trying to navigate the impact of tariffs on their supply chains, and consulting firms are helping them do so by reshuffling their manufacturing base from high tariff countries to low tariff countries. They are also helping clients re-negotiate procurement contracts with global suppliers and consider acquiring competitors with a more favorable supply chain structure. Consulting firms are gearing up for a bulk of demand for supply chain services, and focusing on blue and white collar services. They are also doubling down on consulting playbooks for their services, including blue and white collar services, which is also a major area of focus for private equity firms. Consulting firms are also looking at government advocacy, such as lobbying and creating influence with lawmakers. The Impact of AI on Consulting Firms Chad discusses the significant impact of AI on consulting services. He mentions that many successful big brand companies are utilizing AI in their operations. A private equity firm's head of AI stated that the impact of AI is expected to be minimal in the next 18 months, as companies are still trying to find ways to add value with the technology. Chad acknowledges that AI is an incredible tool, and that it will be interesting to see how much it will truly change the way businesses operate in the next 12-18 months. A Growing Trend of Interim Consulting Roles Chad talks about the growth in what they call interim executive hiring in the marketplace, specifically around private equity and mostly for a limited period of time. The primary areas hiring for these roles are finance and strategy. He explains that specificity is highly sought after, and he encourages generalists to narrow their scope. The conversation turns to the structure of executive search firms for P.E. firms. Chad states that there are two primary groups within PE firms: the Deal team, and the Portfolio Operations team. He explains how they function and how they find and recruit talent. He offers advice on how to reach out to the hiring team, and talks about reaching out to consulting firms for a position and which areas of service have seen a decline and which ones are in demand. He specifically mentions pricing as an area of demand due to the tariffs.  Key Questions Answered in the Q&A Session  Chad answers questions from the panel, including his recommendations on the path to a private equity operating partner, areas of experience that are highly valued; the impact of DOGE on consulting, how independent consultants can position themselves for a full-time position; the value of demonstrable startup experience, AI displacing junior roles; recruiting for board roles, PE's interests in blue collar and white collar companies; and a positive outlook for mature consultants.

Show Notes: Chris Freeberg is the co-founder of deck.support, a company that brings some of the best tools for PowerPoint into Google Slides. Chris and cofounder Dimitri Limberopoulos recognized the need for increased functionality in Google Slides as more companies were switching from PowerPoint to Google Slides but wanted a larger variety of tools and functionality for projects. deck.support was launched last month in the Google workspace marketplace as an extension to Google Slides and provides a wide range of  tools to increase creativity and functionality that are available for PowerPoint. deck.support is an affordable and  essential tool for those who prefer working in Google Slides for client or collaboration reasons.     An Introduction to deck.support  deck.support lives within Google Slides and Chris demonstrates how to access the extension. He discusses the use of deck.support which offers various formatting shortcuts and alignment tools. These tools allow users to quickly align images, columns, and objects, and automatically resize them for better alignment.    deck.support Objects and Templates Tutorial Chris explains how to use objects and templates. Objects are text and graphical elements that can be inserted onto a page, such as three-step process wheels or four-step process wheels.  Templates are more elaborate versions of layouts. Templates can include a table of contents, detailed agenda, context, findings, matrix, BFA, call out, box prioritization, traffic light, slide, Harvey Ball, timeline, slide, customer funnels, and more. The founders have tried to replicate the visual languages used in their slides. The collection of templates, key actions, deliverables, and hypotheses is a complete list of 90% of the standard slide designs used in consulting projects. deck.support for Project Goals and Objectives The project also includes charts with more numerous charts to explore the project's goals and objectives. The goal is to provide a more engaging and effective presentation for clients. They have built a roadmap of 10 different chart types to start with, aiming to bring a high level of precision to Google Slides. AI is another feature which allows users to prompt the AI to read a slide and add finishing touches. This is an integration with Open AI, which will look at a slide and add specific notes to the speaker notes at the bottom. The AI suggestions launched at the bottom of the slide include a more action-oriented or informative headline that concisely summarizes the benefits of deck support. deck.support and the Golden Age of Entrepreneurship Chris discusses the importance of remembering who the audience is for a slide presentation to ensure clarity and comprehension. The process of building the tool involved a quick analysis of the potential of Google Slides, and hiring a developer with expertise in Google Apps Scripts. The augmented intelligence provided by AI tools allowed him to understand the process of development and make informed decisions. Chris believes that AI is a gold standard in the field of entrepreneurship, as it provides a demystification of the process, making it easier and more enjoyable for the audience. He also mentions the importance of considering the audience's needs and the potential for advancements in the field. Chris and Dimitri built a roadmap using PowerPoint and AI to understand the purpose of their software. They were guided by 17 years of BCG experience and were familiar with existing tools and their limitations.  Developing, Testing, and Pricing deck.support Chris discusses the development process of their product, which took about six months. The first step was identifying how to communicate what they wanted in terms of tools and functionality, and identifying the limitations of current tools on the market. They used chat GPT to evaluate different jurisdictions for incorporation, such as Delaware, Ireland, Dubai, and Singapore. They landed on Singapore, as it was the best place for two international people selling software. Chat GPT helped them evaluate different options and run simulations of fees, given different revenue levels and currency flows. Each section of the tool became its own block, and they tested each one before launching it in the App Store. They learned that the most valuable aspect of the product was the user-centered approach and understanding how it would be used and integrated into workflows.They currently offer the product for free on the Google workspace marketplace, but the alignment tools will be paid for. The core version of export will have an annual fee of $50 per year, and charts will be an additional feature that people can pay for. The pricing for charts is currently around $300 a year, and efficient elements will be around $100 a year. The overall value of the product is expected to be around $150 a year for charts. AI Tools for PowerPoint The conversation turns to AI tools for PowerPoint and their potential to create specific slides for consultants and professionals. Most people don't want someone to create the entire pitch deck for them, but rather just insert a slide according to their template. Chris believes that AI tools are still a few years away from being able to do this and that the need for AI tools will diminish as knowledge professionals have a better understanding of how to visually bring a presentation to life. He states that AI tools can be useful for high school students and sales professionals, but they may fall short when it comes to the nuance of consulting work. He talks about the limitations of AI models in generating creative campaigns. One of the biggest challenges is their inability to replicate the same character over and over again. AI models today are better at starting from a link sheet and bringing consistency from users on a micro level. The Process of Getting a deck.support into Google App Store Chris shares that getting a product into the Google App Store was painful, as there is a process that requires submission to the Google Workplace Marketplace for approval. This process verifies the app's security, consistency with best practices, and that there is no attempt to steal user information. The challenge was navigating two different teams within Google, all of whom seemed to be based on different sides of the world. The process lasted about six weeks, with cryptic emails asking for approvals and cryptic questions asking for help. Chat GPT helped identify opportunities to fix issues within the Google Cloud console. Security Measures for deck.support When it comes to security, Chris explains that the tool has no ability to see how users use the tool or what buttons they push. Once CRM capabilities are turned on, they capture email addresses and user accounts, but only the slide being viewed is transmitted to Open AI. Open AI returns this information consistent with the Terms of Service. Chris emphasizes the importance of enterprise security, as they have completed an enterprise security assessment for a consulting firm that uses Google Slides. They have documented that there is no image or information capture in the tool, only knowing who a user is, their active account, and the right to press the Layout button.Chris also talks about the use of Google App Script for the Google Slide extension, which ensures compliance with SOC 2 compliance. This means that the tool is not covered by the Google Workplace sandbox, which means it doesn't have to pay $40,000 for its own SOC 2 compliance. Chris explains that the tool lives in the cloud, not on its own. Users can download the tool from the deck.support website. Chris also mentions the limitations of Google Slides extensions, which require users to click on the "Open sidebar" button every time. To fix this, an App Script can be added to Google Slides, allowing users to click on the "Open sidebar" button when opening the slide. The Script can be found in the Extensions menu within Google Slides.  Timestamps: 02:20: Overview of deck.support and Its Features  36:30: Detailed Features of deck.support  36:45: Development and Building of deck.support  36:59: Challenges and Future Plans for deck.support  38:50: User Experience and Availability of deck.support  Links: Website: https://deck.support/ Marketplace Listing for downloads: https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/deck.support_pro_tools_for_google_slides/128114120858 Unleashed is produced by Umbrex, which has a mission of connecting independent management consultants with one another, creating opportunities for members to meet, build relationships, and share lessons learned.

Welcome to the world of consulting in 2025. AI is everywhere—from writing reports and making decks to crunching numbers. But you'd think the likes of McKinsey, Bain, and BCG would be worried about AI, right? Because AI reduces the knowledge gap between them and their clients. Turns out, instead of resisting it, they're going all in.The ones feeling the heat are junior most employees—the consultants. Timelines are shrinking and expectations are going up. Creativity? Who cares about that anymore. A former Bain manager told The Ken about an instance when a senior partner wanted a full client assessment by the next day. Normally, this would take weeks to pull off. The result? Rushed work and fancy words that sound good but don't really say anything substantial. And worst of all—there is no  time to fact-check. There seems to be a real disconnect between what senior leaders think AI can do, and what it actually does. So what happens when the industry famous for having all the answers is now taking shortcuts using a chatbot? Also, what happens when clients find out?Q for listeners: If 90% of your job could be done by AI, what would you focus on to stay valuable?Send us your answers as texts or voice notes on Daybreak's WhatsApp at +918971108379. Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

Most career transitions are treated like cliff jumps.You quit the job. Burn the bridges. Bet everything on your dream.Shiv Choudhury chose a different path.When he left BCG to build a billion-dollar business, he didn't go all in.First, he faked an app. It didn't even work.But it taught him one thing: customers wanted what he was offering.That was enough to move to the next stage.He calls it “pre-to-typing.”

As dozens of countries worldwide have held national elections in the past year, a new global agenda has emerged that is focused more on trade and taxes, and less on environmental and cultural issues.

It's official: AI has arrived and, from here on out, will be a part of our world. So how do we begin to learn how to coexist with our new artificial coworkers? Ethan Mollick is an associate professor at University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School and the author of Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI. The book acts as a guide to readers navigating the new world of AI and explores how we might work alongside AI. He and Greg discuss the benefits of anthropomorphizing AI, the real impact the technology could have on employment, and how we can learn to co-work and co-learn with AI. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:The result of an experiment identifying the impact of GEN AI07:35 We went to the Boston Consulting Group, one of the elite consulting companies, and we gave them 18 realistic business tasks we created with them and these were judged to be very realistic. They were used to do actual evaluations of people in interviews and so on. And we got about 8 percent of the global workforce of BCG, which is a significant investment. And we had them do these tasks first on their own without AI, and then we had them do a second set of tasks either with or without AI. So, random selection to those two. The people who got access to AI, and by the way, this is just plain vanilla GPT-4 as of last April. No special fine-tuning, no extra details, no special interface, no RAG, nothing else. And they had a 40 percent improvement in the quality of their outputs on every measure that we had. We got work done about 25 percent faster, about 12.5 percent more work done in the same time period. Pretty big results in a pretty small period of time. Is AI taking over our jobs?20:30 The ultimate question is: How good does AI get, and how long does it take to get that good? And I think if we knew the answer to that question, which we don't, that would teach us a lot about what jobs to think about and worry about.Will there be a new data war where different LLM and Gen AI providers chase proprietary data?11:17 I don't know whether this becomes like a data fight in that way because the open internet has tons of data on it, and people don't seem to be paying for permission to train on those. I think we'll see more specialized training data potentially in the future, but things like conversations, YouTube videos, podcasts are also useful data sources. So the whole idea of LLMs is that they use unsupervised learning. You throw all this data at them; they figure out the patterns.Could public data be polluted by junk and bad actors?16:39 Data quality is obviously going to be an issue for these systems. There are lots of ways of deceiving them, of hacking them, of working like a bad actor. I don't necessarily think it's going to be by poisoning the datasets themselves because the datasets are the Internet, Project Gutenberg, and Wikipedia. They're pretty resistant to that kind of mass poisoning, but I think data quality is an issue we should be concerned about.Show Links:Recommended Resources:“Navigating the Jagged Technological Frontier: Field Experimental Evidence of the Effects of AI on Knowledge Worker Productivity and Quality” | Harvard Business SchoolGeoffrey HintonProject GutenbergGemini AI“Google's Gemini Controversy Explained: AI Model Criticized By Musk And Others Over Alleged Bias” | ForbesDevin AI Karim LakhaniGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at University of PennsylvaniaHis Work:Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI

Double Tap Episode 402 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Brownells, Black Rhino Concealment, Swampfox Optics, Medical Gear Outfitters, Night Fision, and Matador Arms   Welcome to Double Tap, episode 402! Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! Dear WLS Dependable Don - Jeremy vs people that think 22 is a viable carry option, in a bus. Who wins? Jimmy - I have a 16” AR10 in 308 that runs like a champ. I bought a nickel boron BCG to have as a back up, but it has a persistent issue. When chambering a round it often fails to go into battery. If I ram it home with the forward assist it will then fire the round but fail to extract the case. The case heads show damage at the rim including crushing and tearing of the rim. My assumption is that the extractor is out of spec. It moves freely and the spring tension seems comparable to the original Aero. I've read somewhere about tuning extractors by changing the hook angle but I've never tried anything like that. I know I can just replace the extractor, but I'm taking this as a learning experience. I have a caliper and files, but I need some intel. Where would I find the schematics showing the correct shape & size of the extractor? Would you guys try this procedure or shitcan this garbage? By the time you read this I will probably have solved the problem, but hopefully it sparks a conversation. Thanks. Andrew C - What's up my dudes, Why the fuck does Aaron always sound like he has cotton balls in his mouth on the pod? Shitty mic or does he just sound like that? Either way it does'nt make me hate him any less. Anywho, I am starting a P365 build and want to get your guys opinion on a couple things. I already bought the base model 365 (basically just for slide and fcu) as well as a radian ramjet/afterburner for it. My goal is to put that on an xmacro frame so everything sits flush at the end of the pistol while having more to grip on the module. Do you guys have any recommendations on grip modules, triggers, trigger spring kits, etc? Looking at the wilson combat grip module or just getting the Sig xmacro frame and throwing on the radian backstrap/magwell. Also looking at the Tyrant cnc intellifire and pairng it with the tactical triggers trigger kit to take care of slop and crisp it up a fair amount. Any input/experience with those items or have other recs?Yes, I already know that putting all this on an xmacro frame makes it a larger gun to carry, but I dont give two shits about that. TIA for any input. Stay free or get fucked.   Ethan P - For those of us planning our GunCon trip already. Jeremy, where should we go to eat while we're in your town?   Jay W - Wasssaaaaaappp (man I miss the 90s and those Budweiser commercials) I just picked up my 2nd suppressor (Anechoic 30) and decided to go with the Deadair Keymo, found a brake and adapter at Brownells (use code WLS10). This is my first QD setup and thought a QD would be smart with a 30 cal can to swap it on a few of my builds for youtube reviews and flexibility with my arsenal (until I get more cans). So what's the deal with the mixed feelings on keymo? Depending on who you talk to you get a different opinion and some opinions (while everyone is entitled to one) are just plain dumb. You guys have a range of backgrounds and I'm just wondering if I did ok with choosing keymo or if I should convert to something else (since I'm not fully committed yet). Note- No notes. P.S. Who is the jackass that invented P.S. for letters? Like bro, just find space in the paragraph above to get your point across and end the letter with ""Sincerely"" and wrap it up B. Travis M - Nick, You've mentioned primarily appendix carrying, what holster brand and model do you use for your Smith & Wesson Airweight? Does your holster use belt loops, ulti clips or something else? Shoot straight, Travis
