    AI is already displacing workers in targeted ways - entry-level knowledge workers are being quietly erased from hiring pipelines, freelancers are getting crushed, and the career ladder is being sawed off at the bottom rungs. Yet ML engineer demand has surged 89% with a 3.2:1 talent deficit and $187K median salary. Covers the real displacement data, lessons from the artist bloodbath, the trades escape hatch, the orchestrator treadmill, expert disagreements on timelines, and concrete short- and long-term career moves for ML engineers. Links Notes and resources at ocdevel.com/mlg/mla-4 Try a walking desk - stay healthy & sharp while you learn & code Generate a podcast - use my voice to listen to any AI generated content you want Market Metrics and Displacement Dynamics ML Market: H1 2025 demand rose 89% with a 3.2 to 1 talent deficit. Median salary is $187,500, while Generative AI specialists earn a 40 to 60 percent premium. The "Quiet" Decline: Macro data shows only 4.5% of total layoffs are AI-attributed, but entry-level hiring is collapsing. Stanford/ADP data shows a 13 to 16 percent employment drop for workers aged 22 to 25 in AI-exposed roles since late 2022. UK graduate job postings fell 67%. Corporate Attrition: Salesforce cut 4,000 roles after AI absorbed 30 to 50 percent of workloads. Microsoft cut 15,000 roles as AI began generating 30% of its code. Amazon cut 30,000 jobs while spending $100 billion on AI infrastructure. Sector Analysis: Creative and Trades Illustrators: Jobs in China's gaming sector fell 70% in one year. Clients accept "good enough" work (80% quality) at 5% of the cost. Western freelance graphic design and writing jobs fell 18.5% and 30% respectively within eight months of ChatGPT's launch. Manual Labor: The U.S. construction industry lacks 1.7 million workers annually, but apprenticeships take five years. Humanoid robotics are advancing, with Unitree's R1 priced at $5,900 and Figure AI robots completing 1,250 runtime hours at BMW. Full automation is 10 to 15 years away, but partial displacement via smaller crews is closer. The Orchestration Treadmill Obsolescence Speed: Prompt engineering roles went from $375,000 salaries to obsolescence in 24 months. AI coding agents like Claude Code now resolve 72% of medium-complexity GitHub issues autonomously. Fragile Expertise: Replacing junior workers with AI prevents the development of future senior talent. New engineers risk "fragile expertise," directed by tools they cannot debug during novel failure modes. Economic and Expert Outlook Macro Risks: Daron Acemoglu warns of "so-so automation" that cuts costs without raising productivity, predicting only 0.66% growth over ten years. "Ghost GDP" describes AI-inflated accounts that fail to circulate because machines do not consume. Expert Camps: Accelerationists (Anthropic, OpenAI) predict human-level AI by 2027. Skeptics (LeCun, Marcus) argue LLMs are a dead end lacking world models. Pragmatists (Andrew Ng) suggest shifting from implementation to specification as the cost of code nears zero. Tactical Adaptation for ML Engineers Immediate Skills: Master production ML systems, MLOps, LLM evaluation, and safety engineering. Ability to manage deployment risks and hallucination detection is the primary hiring differentiator. Long-term Moats: Focus on "Small AI" (on-device, private), mechanistic interpretability, and deep domain knowledge in healthcare, logistics, or climate science. The Playbook: Optimize for the current three to five year window. Move from being a model builder to a product-focused engineer who understands business tradeoffs and regulatory compliance.

You can be like them by clicking here: https://www.patreon.com/EVNewsDaily EV LIST PRICES FALL AS GAS GUZZLER PRICES RISENew EV list prices (excluding Tesla) dropped 2.3%, or roughly $1,500, from an average of $63,327 in September 2025 to $61,860 in January 2026, while average new gas-powered vehicle prices rose 2.5% to $47,427 over the same period. The sharpest cuts came after the federal EV tax credit expired, with the Hyundai IONIQ 5 leading the slide at a 13.8% drop of over $7,000, followed by the Chevrolet Equinox EV at nearly $4,000 off — six models in total posted drops above 5%. FORD TEASES EUROPE CAR RETURN AFTER FIESTA, FOCUSFord CEO Jim Farley used the Q4 2025 earnings call to signal "exciting plans" for passenger cars in Europe, framing the comeback as a selective, profitable return to specific segments rather than a volume land grab. Two new EVs built on Renault's Ampere platform are expected in the subcompact segment from the Ford–Renault partnership, with new passenger cars set to start arriving in 2027 under a new dedicated Europe passenger-car leadership role. UBER EXPANDS EV RIDES ACROSS EIGHT UK CITIESUber has rolled out its EV ride option to eight more UK cities — Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Edinburgh, Cambridge, Belfast and Merseyside — at standard UberX prices, after falling short of its pledge to run an all-electric London fleet by end-2025. Only 40% of London miles are now covered by EVs, with UK General Manager Andrew Brem citing charging access as "the biggest barrier," prompting Uber to announce driver support measures including discounted home and public charging in partnership with Pod Point. BMW TALKS PRICE FLOOR TO DODGE EU MINI DUTYBMW and the European Commission are in advanced talks to replace the EU's 20.7% countervailing duty on China-made Mini BEVs with a minimum import price agreement, according to Handelsblatt — covering the Mini Cooper Electric and Mini Aceman, both built at BMW's Zhangjiagang joint venture with Great Wall Motor. The approach would mirror the "price undertaking" the EU accepted from Volkswagen Anhui in early February, which freed the Cupra Tavascan from countervailing duties in exchange for a confidential price floor, volume cap and EU investment commitments. EU CITY BUS SALES HIT 60% ZERO-EMISSIONSix in ten new city buses registered across the EU in 2025 were zero-emission — 56% battery-electric and 4% fuel cell — a dramatic jump from just 12% when the Clean Vehicles Directive was adopted in 2019. Five member states hit 100% zero-emission city bus sales in 2025 (Bulgaria, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia and Slovenia), and Transport & Environment says a fully zero-emission EU city bus market is achievable as early as 2028.​MG2 SET FOR 2027 UK LAUNCH AT £20,000MG will enter the electric supermini segment in 2027 with the all-new MG2, targeting a starting price of around £20,000 (~$25,200), to take on rivals including the Renault 5, Citroën e-C3, Fiat Grande Panda and the incoming VW ID. Polo. The car will use the newer E3 architecture from the MG4 Urban, run front-wheel drive with a torsion-beam rear axle for cost efficiency, and feature a 12.8-inch touchscreen with physical climate controls — a reveal is expected in the second half of 2026. MG CONFIRMS MGS9 PHEV SEVEN-SEATER FOR UKMG will launch the MGS9 plug-in hybrid SUV in the UK later in 2026 as its new flagship, offering three full adult-sized rows and targeting rivals such as the Peugeot 5008, Kia Sorento and Skoda Kodiaq at a value-led price point. The model already holds a five-star Euro NCAP rating and could reach UK showrooms as early as summer 2026, extending MG's line-up to 11 models. AUSTRALIA NVES DATA SHOWS HYBRIDS DO THE HEAVY LIFTAustralia's National Vehicle Emissions Standard published its first half-year performance data (July–December 2025), showing EVs made up roughly 12% of new vehicles supplied, with about two-thirds of manufacturers — including BYD and Polestar — meeting their fleet-wide emissions targets. Petrol- and hybrid-focused brands such as Mazda and Hyundai fell short and face penalties if they don't improve, while the data reveals that near-term emissions gains are leaning more on efficient hybrids than on full EVs. LECTRON ADAPTERS WIN UL 2252 SAFETY CERTIFICATIONLectron has earned UL 2252 safety certification across its full range of EV charging adapters — covering J3400, CCS1 and J1772 in both AC and DC variants — with its two DC adapters handling up to 500 amps at 1,000 volts for peak power of 500 kW, and built-in thermal sensors that trigger derating if heat rises during fast charging. The certification comes as the North American charging landscape remains split between NACS and CCS1 on DC networks and J1772 on AC infrastructure, making a certified bridging adapter an increasingly essential tool for EV drivers navigating the transition.

    Rassegna stampa economico-finanziaria del 26 febbraio 2026, strutturata per macro-temi e basata sulle principali testate giornalistiche nazionali.Investimenti e MercatiTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / Milano Finanza / Corriere della Sera / Il Messaggero * Riforma del TUF e Voto Plurimo: Le Commissioni Giustizia e Finanze hanno accolto i rilievi Consob sulla riforma del Testo Unico della Finanza. Si valuta la "sterilizzazione" del voto plurimo (prassi comune a 70 società a Piazza Affari) in caso di fusioni con delisting o trasferimento della sede all'estero, per non penalizzare l'attrattività del mercato italiano verso gli investitori stranieri. * Debito Globale: Raggiunto il record di 348.000 miliardi di dollari alla fine del 2025 (+9% in 12 mesi). La crescita è trainata dalle spese per la difesa e dagli investimenti nell'IA (data center). In Italia il debito pubblico si attesta al 141,3% del PIL. * Produttività Italiana: Nel periodo post-pandemia (2019-2025), l'Italia ha mostrato una performance di produttività (PIL per occupato) superiore a Germania, Francia ed Eurozona. Il settore delle costruzioni ha registrato un balzo dell'efficienza del 35% grazie a bonus e PNRR. * Borsa: Piazza Affari ha superato quota 47.000 punti. Quotazione dell'oro oltre i 5.200 dollari l'oncia.Industria, IA e AutomotiveTestate: Il Messaggero / Il Giornale / Avvenire / Corriere della Sera * Polo Europeo dell'IA: Il governo punta a rendere l'Italia capofila del progetto "Frontier AI" dell'Unione Europea, con possibile coordinamento a Roma. Il mercato IA in Italia vale 1,8 miliardi di € (+50% sul 2024). Uno scenario ottimale vede per le imprese romane un aumento di valore stimato in 91,2 miliardi di € tramite l'adozione dell'IA. * Leonardo e il Partner Arabo: Il gruppo (ricavi +11%, ordini +15%) presenterà il nuovo piano industriale il 12 marzo. Prevista la creazione di una JV al 50% per la divisione Aerostrutture entro il primo semestre, probabilmente con il socio saudita SAMI. Dividendo previsto in crescita del 20%. * Crisi Auto Tedesca: In Cina, le esportazioni di veicoli tedeschi sono crollate di due terzi dal 2022, mentre la cinese BYD ha aumentato le vendite in Germania del 700%. * Caso Anthropic-Pentagono: Tensione negli USA tra il fondatore Dario Amodei e il Ministro Hegseth. Il Pentagono minaccia di tagliare contratti da 200 milioni di $ se la società non rimuoverà i vincoli etici sull'uso militare dell'IA.Fisco, Infrastrutture e NormativaTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / Il Messaggero / La Repubblica / Italia Oggi * Piano Casa: Il governo stanzia 1,2 miliardi di € per il recupero di 60.000 alloggi di edilizia residenziale pubblica. Salvini punta alla "fascia grigia" con contratti rent-to-buy. Entro giugno previsto il recupero dei primi 10.000 alloggi. * Costi Infrastrutture: Allarme per le opere strategiche. Il costo complessivo è salito a 522 miliardi di € (+39 miliardi, +8% rispetto a agosto 2024). Le risorse disponibili coprono attualmente il 67% del fabbisogno (352 miliardi). * Fisco e Rinnovi Contrattuali: L'Agenzia delle Entrate conferma l'imposta sostitutiva del 5% sugli aumenti dei rinnovi contrattuali 2024-2026 pagati nel 2026. * Concessioni Balneari: Il governo accelera per definire il bando tipo entro fine marzo.Banche e LavoroTestate: La Repubblica / Il Sole 24 Ore / La Ragione * Sfruttamento e Rider: La Procura di Milano estende l'indagine sul caporalato digitale chiedendo documenti a 7 multinazionali del food (tra cui McDonald's ed Esselunga) per verificare l'idoneità dei loro modelli organizzativi. Schlein e Landini invocano il salario minimo (soglia indicata di 9 €/ora). * Occupazione e Mismatch: Difficoltà di reperimento personale per le imprese al 46% (1 posto su 2). Il mismatch tocca il 60% nelle costruzioni e il 59,2% nell'industria metalmeccanica. * Mutui Under 35: Oltre un terzo dei nuovi mutui è richiesto da giovani sotto i 35 anni, grazie alla garanzia Consap fino all'80% per ISEE sotto i 40.000 €.Energia e GeopoliticaTestate: Avvenire / Il Messaggero / La Repubblica / Il Corriere della Sera * Missione Merz in Cina: Il cancelliere tedesco a Pechino con i vertici di Mercedes, BMW, Volkswagen e Siemens per riequilibrare i rapporti commerciali. Il deficit commerciale della Germania verso la Cina è quadruplicato in un anno, raggiungendo gli 87 miliardi di € nel 2025. * Dazi USA: Jamieson Greer (USTR) conferma dazi al 10% già in vigore, con l'obiettivo di portarli al 15%. L'Indonesia ha accettato di ridurre del 99% le tariffe sui beni USA. * Guerra del Petrolio in Est Europa: Orban (Ungheria) e Vucic (Serbia) accelerano sull'oleodotto serbo-slovacco per aggirare l'Ucraina, con termine previsto nel 2027. * Energia: Orsini (Confindustria) avverte che i consumi elettrici raddoppieranno in 20 anni e chiede un mix di rinnovabili e nucleare di nuova generazione.Executive Takeaway (Insight per C-Suite) * Resilienza Produttività: L'Italia sovraperforma i partner UE nella crescita della produttività post-pandemia; il settore costruzioni è il driver principale di efficienza sistemica. * Rischio Geopolitico e Dazi: La strategia USA di Jamieson Greer non prevede retromarce sui dazi (target 15%); per le imprese esportatrici la stabilità passa solo per accordi bilaterali o di blocco (UE). * L'Urgenza IA: Con un mercato nazionale da 1,8 miliardi di € e un tasso di crescita del 50%, l'integrazione dell'IA generativa è ormai un fattore determinante per il valore d'impresa (EBITDA). * Debito e Difesa: Il debito globale è "più pubblico e meno privato"; la spesa militare e tecnologica sta ridefinendo i flussi finanziari mondiali a discapito della sostenibilità fiscale tradizionale. * Focus Welfare e Casa: Il Piano Casa da 1,2 miliardi e la proroga dei bonus assunzioni giovani/donne sono le leve scelte dal governo per mitigare il calo demografico previsto (5 milioni di lavoratori in meno entro il 2040).

    You get two types of people when it comes to learning how to drive. The first type? Trial by fire: “As soon as you get your L’s, we’re hitting the N1 at 7am. If you can survive Marlboro Drive traffic, you can survive anything.” No warm-up. No quiet suburb roads. Straight into taxis, trucks, and that one guy in a BMW flashing you from behind. Then you get the second type. The soft launch drivers. “No rush. Let’s start in an empty parking lot. Indicators. Mirrors. Three-point turns. We build confidence first.” They believe in quiet streets, Sunday mornings, and zero pressure. One says, “The highway builds character.” The other says, “Trauma is not a teaching method.” So which one are you? Did you learn in survival mode on the N1…or did you master the basics on a peaceful back road first? Hang out with Anele and The Club on 947 every weekday morning.

    This Drive Thru News episode tears through a disappointing slate of Super Bowl car commercials before shifting into a broader roundup of automotive chaos - from Stellantis' $26B EV implosion and Tesla axing the Model S and X, to StopTech and Raybestos abruptly shutting down and Honda's new Prelude landing with a thud. The hosts riff on design misfires, EV fatigue, and shifting EPA rules while weaving in motorsports talk, including the dull Rolex 24, Bathurst's massive crash, and WRC scouting U.S. rally sites. They wrap with GTM project updates, track‑season safety reminders, and a grab‑bag of Florida‑man absurdity and parking‑lot disasters, all delivered with their usual humor and gearhead banter. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00:00 Drive-Through News #65 Kickoff 00:01:27 Olympics Banter: Speed Skating, Biathlon & Curling Controversy 00:02:47 Super Bowl Ads: Were There Any Car Commercials? 00:11:57 Best Super Bowl Car Ads of the Last 20 Years (Top 5 Countdown) 00:14:36 Stellantis' $26B EV Struggle: Charger EV, 4xe Hybrids & What Went Wrong 00:18:01 EPA Rule Swings: Stop-Start, Emissions, and the Return of Big Engines? 00:20:04 Aftermarket Shock: StopTech Stops Making Brakes (and what's next) 00:22:35 Cars on the Chopping Block: Honda Prelude Hate & Tesla S/X Discontinued 00:24:50 The Grand Tour ‘Returns': Throttle House Rumors & Why You Can't Replace the Trio 00:30:19 Legends Lost: Ed Iskenderian Tribute & Robert Duvall Remembered 00:32:35 Porsche ‘Not Dead Yet': EV Cayman/Boxster and the Toyota MR2 Clickbait 00:38:11 Thank God It's Dead: Audi's ‘Pickup Truck' Concept 00:40:50 Audi's ‘Concept C' Design Language: The Ugly EV That Won't Die 00:42:05 BMW's Electric M3 Rumors + The Infamous ‘Special Screw' Repair Nightmare 00:44:47 Season Wrap & Pop Culture Detour! 00:51:04 Ferrari's First EV ‘Luce': Toy-Like Interior, Not-Quite-Ferrari Looks 00:54:52 Are You Faster Than an Interceptor? 01:01:49 Behind the Pit Wall: IndyCar in DC, Daytona 500, and a Boring Rolex 24 01:05:54 Sim Racing Update (Assetto Corsa Evo 0.5) 01:12:00 Bathurst Crash, WRC America Rumors, and the GTM Trackside Lemons Project Update 01:14:52 Safety Gear PSA & Season Finale Thanks, Patreon, and Sponsor Shoutouts ==================== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: Visit Our Website Become a VIP at: Patreon Online Magazine: Gran Touring Follow us on Social: Instagram

    "Si quieres ir al desierto, compra un Land Rover. Si quieres volver, compra un Toyota". Esta frase, que durante décadas ha circulado entre mecánicos, militares y exploradores en los rincones más inhóspitos de África y Australia, no es solo un chiste de barra de bar. Es la síntesis de una realidad que la marca británica ha intentado camuflar bajo capas de cuero premium, madera de nogal y una imagen de prestigio ligada a la Familia Real británica. Bienvenidos a una nueva entrega de nuestra serie “lo que las marcas no quieren que sepas”. Hoy vamos a desgranar los "trapos sucios" de Land Rover, una marca que parece haber perfeccionado el arte del "Síndrome de Estocolmo": te maltrata, te vacía la cuenta corriente, te deja tirado en la cuneta... pero la limpias, la miras y te vuelves a enamorar. 1. El Defender y la "Ergonomía del Potro de Tortura" Empecemos por el icono, el Defender clásico. Diseñado originalmente en 1948 para que un granjero pudiera llevar una oveja en el asiento del copiloto, su ergonomía ha permanecido casi inalterada durante casi 70 años. El problema no es solo que el volante esté descentrado respecto al asiento; es que el espacio para el conductor es inexistente. El asiento está tan pegado a la puerta que, si no conduces con la ventanilla bajada y el codo fuera, tu brazo izquierdo quedará atrapado contra tu propio costillar. 2. La Maldición de Lucas: "El Príncipe de las Tinieblas" Para entender los clásicos de la marca, hay que conocer a su proveedor eléctrico: Joseph Lucas. Durante décadas, el sistema eléctrico de estos coches fue el hazmerreír de la industria. Existe un chiste recurrente que pregunta: "¿Por qué los ingleses beben la cerveza caliente? Porque Lucas fabrica sus neveras". 3. El Range Rover P38 y el "Cerebro Mojado" En 1994, Land Rover intentó dar un salto tecnológico con la segunda generación del Range Rover, el P38. Fue un desastre de proporciones bíblicas. Fue su primer coche gestionado totalmente por electrónica, pero con tecnología inmadura. 4. El Freelander 1: El motor "Sándwich" y la IRD A finales de los 90, el Freelander fue un éxito de ventas, pero bajo el capó escondía el motor 1.8 gasolina Serie K. Este motor estaba construido por capas apretadas con pernos larguísimos que atravesaban todo el bloque. El problema es que los pernos se estiraban con el calor y las guías de la culata eran de plástico. 5. Los "Tres Amigos" del Discovery 2 Si tienes un Discovery 2, conoces a los "Tres Amigos". No son tus compañeros de rutas, sino tres luces amarillas (TC, HDC y ABS) que se encienden simultáneamente en el cuadro de mandos. Cuando esto ocurre, todas las ayudas electrónicas desaparecen. 6. La Caja de Cristal del Range Rover L322 En la era BMW, el Range Rover L322 era el epítome del lujo. Sin embargo, equipaba una caja de cambios de General Motors diseñada para coches mucho más ligeros. Land Rover cometió el error de afirmar que el aceite de la caja era “de por vida” (sealed for life). Como nada es eterno, hacia los 130.000 km la caja solía colapsar, desintegrando los discos de embrague o haciendo explotar el convertidor de par. Una factura de 4.000 euros esperaba siempre a la vuelta de la esquina. 7. La Ruleta Rusa del Cigüeñal (TDV6 y SDV6) Bajo el mandato de Ford, los Discovery 3 y 4 montaron los motores V6 diésel desarrollados con Peugeot/Citroën. Estos motores esconden un defecto oscuro y letal: debido a un fallo en los casquillos de bancada y la lubricación, el cigüeñal sufre fatiga de metal y se parte físicamente en dos. No hay aviso previo, no hay luz de aceite. 8. El Infierno del "Body Off" Para colmo, Land Rover diseñó sus coches modernos (Discovery 3/4 y Range Sport) de forma que el vano motor está tan apretado que casi cualquier reparación "sencilla" requiere separar la carrocería del chasis. ¿Quieres cambiar los turbos o la bomba de aceite? Paso 1: Levantar la cabina entera. 9. Los motores Ingenium y la Cadena "Tímida" En la actualidad, bajo Tata Motors, los problemas no han desaparecido. Los motores Ingenium diésel de 2.0 litros tienen la cadena de distribución en la parte trasera, pegada a la caja de cambios. Si la cadena se estira (un fallo común), hay que sacar el motor entero para cambiarla. Además, sufren de dilución de aceite: el gasoil extra inyectado para limpiar el filtro de partículas termina en el cárter, degradando el aceite y provocando la rotura prematura de turbos y casquillos. Conclusión ¿Odio a Land Rover? En absoluto. Me encantan. Un Land Rover tiene algo que un Toyota o un Mitsubishi jamás tendrán: carisma. Cuando funcionan, son los mejores coches del mundo. Pero no son para todo el mundo. Son coches para quienes entienden que la excelencia y el lujo británico requieren un sacrificio constante.

    There never seems to be a quiet week in golf, and this week is no different. But before we get into the show, we touch on our Betr multi which was so close to coming off. Rory did the job, Min Woo feel agonisingly short of the Top 10, and Scheffler had a very good weekend, but a poor Thursday and Friday, missing the Top 5. So close, yet so far away....on the flip side a number of wolfpackers seem to have profited from Nick's dark horse tip of Aldrich Potgieter (including Mark and Dan).Nick is over the moon that his good mate US Tour Pro Austen Truslow won at Paraparaumu at the weekend, his first win, and Nick was commentating so saw the whole thing, and was chatting to Austen on the Saturday night before the final day.Huge win for Jacob Bridgeman at Riviera at the weekend, he hung on to claim the title.

    En el Radar Empresarial de hoy ponemos el foco en la recompra de acciones anunciada por Rolls‑Royce, que prevé destinar 1.500 millones de libras a esta operación, según adelantó Sky News. La ratificación oficial se conocerá mañana, coincidiendo con la presentación de sus resultados anuales. Este movimiento llega después de que el grupo revisara al alza sus previsiones el pasado ejercicio, impulsado por una evolución financiera más sólida de lo anticipado. Las estimaciones apuntan a que el beneficio operativo subyacente anual se situará entre 3.100 y 3.200 millones de libras, un rango que refuerza la confianza de la dirección en la generación de caja y en la capacidad de retribuir al accionista. Además del impulso interno, la compañía confía en el respaldo institucional para fortalecer sus proyectos estratégicos. De acuerdo con el Financial Times, la empresa espera captar hasta 3.000 millones de libras procedentes de fondos públicos británicos para avanzar en el desarrollo de un nuevo motor aeronáutico. Se trata del programa UltraFan 30, integrado en la familia UltraFan, una arquitectura de última generación diseñada para mejorar la eficiencia y reducir emisiones en la aviación comercial del futuro. Esta apuesta tecnológica es clave dentro del reposicionamiento industrial del grupo. Aunque para muchos la marca evoca los automóviles de lujo asociados históricamente a la realeza y a celebridades, el verdadero peso del negocio se encuentra hoy en la aeronáutica. Las previsiones indican que esta división generará alrededor de 10.000 millones de libras en 2025, cerca de la mitad de los ingresos totales. Conviene recordar que la división de automóviles pertenece a BMW desde 2003, cuando el fabricante alemán adquirió esa rama por 40 millones de libras, desligándola del núcleo industrial centrado en motores y sistemas de potencia. En consecuencia, los motores para aviación civil y militar, junto con los sistemas energéticos, constituyen el eje del negocio actual. La empresa mantiene contratos relevantes con el Gobierno británico, entre ellos el acuerdo Unity con el Ministerio de Defensa, que contempla la gestión de los reactores nucleares de los submarinos de la Royal Navy. Firmado el año pasado por ocho años y valorado en 9.000 millones de libras, se suma a otro contrato de cinco años para el mantenimiento de los motores EJ200 del Eurofighter Typhoon utilizados por la RAF.

    Quick SummaryLaura Sinclair shares her journey from corporate marketing to gym ownership to building a thriving online business and community for ambitious mothers. This conversation dives deep into the realities of building a business while raising children, the importance of simplifying your business model, and why you need mentors who actually understand your season of life.In This EpisodeLaura's unconventional path from corporate BMW to gym owner to online entrepreneurThe challenging reality of being a mom entrepreneur (and why you don't get it until you get it)How to simplify your business by focusing on what actually worksThe power of choosing complexity in the right season vs. protecting your energyWhy expectations create more stress than motherhood or business combinedBuilding in-person community through the This Mother Means Business conferenceSetting boundaries that support your life (like no calls before 11 AM)Key TakeawaysYou can't take business advice from people who don't understand your season of life. Childless mentors may give you strategies that are impossible to implement as a mother—seek advice from people who get it.Simplification comes from knowing what works. Track where your last 3-5 clients came from and double down on those channels instead of spreading yourself thin across everything.You can choose complexity—but only in the right season. There are times to simplify and coast, and times to intentionally add complexity for growth. Neither is wrong; it's about alignment with your life.Most stress comes from expectations, not reality. Define what being a "good mom" and "good entrepreneur" means to you, not what society dictates.Community isn't optional—it's essential. Getting out from behind your laptop to connect with other moms in business reminds you why you do what you do.Memorable Quotes"You don't know what it's like to be a mom building a business until you're a mom building a business.""I really do believe that you can have it all. You can't do it all.""Do you wanna come over to my house and do bedtime while I host those calls? Because that's not possible.""Simple was fun, and now it's complexity time.

    As automotive design evolves, manufacturers increasingly rely on advanced materials to reduce weight, improve durability, and support sustainability goals. Covestro focuses on developing polycarbonate‑based solutions that replace heavier metals, enhance surface performance, and enable circular manufacturing practices. These innovations support automakers seeking to improve efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and deliver premium experiences to consumers.Material selection plays a critical role in modern vehicle engineering. Components must withstand demanding thermal, mechanical, and environmental conditions while meeting strict cost and performance requirements. Covestro's approach combines raw material expertise with process development, allowing the company to collaborate closely with OEMs and suppliers to create next‑generation components that are lighter, safer, and more sustainable.Lightweight Thermal‑Conductive PolycarbonateOne of Covestro's key developments is a thermally conductive polycarbonate designed to replace aluminum and magnesium heat sinks. While metals traditionally offer superior thermal conductivity, polycarbonate provides advantages in emissivity, enabling effective heat dissipation through alternative mechanisms. This balance allows the material to deliver comparable thermal performance while significantly reducing weight.The use of polycarbonate in heat‑management components supports improved energy efficiency in both automotive and electronic applications. Lighter parts contribute to reduced vehicle mass, which can enhance range and performance in electric vehicles. The material also supports cost reduction by simplifying manufacturing processes and lowering material expenses. These benefits demonstrate how material science can unlock new design possibilities without compromising functionality.Self‑Healing Coatings for Premium SurfacesCovestro has also developed a direct‑coating technology applied to polycarbonate lenses and exterior panels. This coating provides a high‑gloss, premium finish while offering self‑healing properties. When the surface is scratched, heat can be applied to restore its appearance, extending the lifespan of the component and maintaining a like‑new finish.This technology is already in production on vehicles such as the BMW i7, where it enhances both aesthetics and durability. The coating reduces the need for traditional painting or hard‑coating processes, lowering manufacturing costs and minimizing scrap caused by surface defects. By enabling repairability and long‑term visual quality, the solution supports both consumer satisfaction and sustainable manufacturing practices.Circular Materials Through Tire‑to‑Polycarbonate RecyclingA significant advancement in Covestro's sustainability portfolio is the chemical recycling of end‑of‑life tires. Through a specialized process, the rubber from used tires is broken down and converted into virgin‑quality polycarbonate. This material can then be used in applications requiring optical clarity, including headlamp lenses and other transparent components.The recycling process separates metal reinforcements, fabric layers, and contaminants, ensuring that only the usable rubber is transformed into new material. The high yield of this method makes it one of the most efficient recycling pathways for tires, addressing a long‑standing environmental challenge. By converting waste into high‑value polycarbonate, Covestro supports circularity and reduces reliance on fossil‑based raw materials.ConclusionCovestro advances automotive design through innovative polycarbonate materials, self‑healing coatings, and circular recycling technologies. By reducing weight, improving durability, and enabling sustainable manufacturing, the company provides solutions that align with the evolving needs of modern mobility. These developments demonstrate how material science can enhance performance while supporting environmental responsibility across the automotive value chain.Interview by Scott Ertz of F5 Live: Refreshing Technology.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

Mis padres eran médicos y pasé gran parte de mi infancia jugando en los jardines de los hospitales. Más adelante, en mi adolescencia, ellos empezaron a servir y enseñar en la iglesia, y ahí incorporé principios que me marcaron para siempre. En la Biblia hay muchas referencias al dinero. Pablo dice que el que siembra escasamente, cosecha escasamente, y el que siembra generosamente, cosecha generosamente. Salomón enseña que es mejor lo poco con justicia que grandes ingresos con injusticia. Y también está esa frase fuerte: el amor al dinero es la raíz de todos los males.Con esas ideas crecí: vivir una vida balanceada, administrar bien, entender que estamos de paso. En mi casa no había empresarios ni conversaciones sobre hacerse millonario. No sabía lo que era ser emprendedor ni había metas de libertad financiera o ingresos pasivos. Mi viejo me inculcó responsabilidad, disciplina y trabajo, y algo más: el Estado te dio educación, buscá cómo devolver. Hoy lo llamamos propósito. Encontrar tu carril, tu lugar, cómo impactar positivamente a otros. Yo me imaginaba recorriendo el mundo como misionero o sirviendo en lo público.Pero cuando llego a Estados Unidos, becado, conozco a Dotti, nos casamos y termino siendo agente inmobiliario. Paso de ganar 800 dólares al mes a traer a casa 10.000, 12.000 o 15.000 en pocas semanas. Lo que antes hacía en un año, ahora lo generaba en menos de un mes. Y me pasó algo raro: casi culpa. Pensaba, ¿será legal esto?, ¿está bien ganar tanto haciendo algo tan distinto a lo que imaginé?Volvimos a Argentina y durante 7 u 8 años sembramos sin parar. Invertimos, trabajamos, insistimos. Recién casi una década después empezamos a ver frutos. Pero acá fue distinto. Cuando progresaba en Estados Unidos encontraba gente cuyos valores me daban tranquilidad. En Argentina sentí incomodidad. Recuerdo comprar un BMW y estacionarlo lejos para que no se notara. Hasta que entendí que esconder el crecimiento también es un límite mental.El problema no es cuánto dinero tenemos, sino qué lugar ocupa. El dinero es una herramienta moral: revela quién sos, no te transforma. Multiplica tu carácter. Como dice John Maxwell, es un excelente siervo, pero un pésimo amo. Expone tus prioridades: mirá tu cuenta bancaria y tu agenda y vas a saber qué valorás. El dinero debe seguir al propósito, no al revés.Y por último, la mejor expresión del dinero es la generosidad. Yo creo que Dios me bendice para ser canal de bendición. El dinero permite generar empleo, cuidar a tu familia, ayudar en tu comunidad, apoyar estudios como otros me ayudaron a mí.Ojalá esto te ayude a derribar fantasmas internos que limitan tu crecimiento. El dinero no es el problema. El lugar que le das, sí.#dinero #negociosconvalores #proposito #emprendedoresconproposito #emprendedores

    A feedback pod today, and if you heard last weeks feedback ep, we had a message from wolfpacker Jack who enjoyed the Top 10 Golf Courses in Australia list from Nick and Mark, and suggested a Top 10 Public Courses list....which we jumped at without really thinking it through. The challenge is that we were inundated with suggestions, however there's no real way to rank them, so we just read out a few of the messages and talked about a couple. Sorry Jack!One of the comments we had was from a New Zealand wolfpacker who used to live in Melbourne, and was playing at Brighton East on the day a very famous TV show and scene was being filmed right outside...he explains.Off the back of a vote for Narooma, Mark raises the sheer number of Hogans Alley's that there are around the world. Narooma having the famous Hogan's Hole.A message from a wolfpacker who has been a walking scorer and had some thoughts to add following our chat about The Australian Women's Open having walking scorers for the first two days this year.And a voicemail from John in Albury about Corowa Golf Club. We've had a huge number of messages about what has happened at Corowa, it's a very sad outcome for a famous course.And on a brighter note, Tim has tried Marks 'right ear' idea, has it worked for Tim? We find out.After the turn, this is very sweet. And it is a little visual so if you're listening to the pod we hope the comments make sense. We've had a message from Travis, he listens to the pod with his 8-year old daughter Sophie, who plays golf and asked her Dad to send some footage of her swings into Nick and Mark to review....which of course we do.We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:BMW, luxury and comfort for the 19th hole;Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best;Golf Clearance Outlet, they beat everyone's prices;Betr, the fastest and easiest betting app in Australia;And watchMynumbers and Southern Golf Club.

    241 Welcome back to Tailoring Talk Magazine and the first episode of Season 15.In this long-overdue return, Roberto, Alex and Jon sit down for an honest conversation about electric vehicles, real ownership experiences and whether switching from petrol to electric actually makes sense in the real world.Roberto opens with a confession: after years of saying he'd never own an EV, he's now seriously considering selling his BMW M2 and making the switch. From there, the conversation explores the realities of EV ownership, including range anxiety, charging, running costs, practicality and how different lifestyles change what makes a good car.Rather than reviewing cars or reading spec sheets, this episode focuses on real-world use, real budgets, and what each of us would actually buy with our own money.In this episode• Why Roberto is reconsidering electric cars after years of resisting them• Alex's long-term experience living with EVs and what he'd change next• Jon's experience with EV ownership, hybrids and reliability challenges• Range anxiety – myth or real problem?• Charging at home vs public charging• How lifestyle and driving habits change what car makes sense• Running costs and the reality of EV ownership day-to-day• The cars we're currently considering buying• Family EVs vs performance EVs vs city cars• What we'd each choose if we had to decide tomorrowThe discussion also covers several popular electric cars currently on the market, including models from Tesla, Hyundai, BMW, Volkswagen, Kia and others as the team compares range, practicality and real-world usability.Timestamps00:00 – Intro and confession: from petrolhead to considering EVs02:25 – Why this episode: honest conversation, no reviews or spec sheets03:10 – Why Roberto's M2 isn't getting used and how this conversation started 04:50 – Alex's EV journey and living with a Polestar 08:50 – Jon's EV history, Nissan issues and going electric again 10:50 – Roberto's Hyundai IONIQ 6 experience and dealership problems13:10 – Realisation: why EVs make sense for city driving15:40 – Running costs, practicality and daily usage20:30 – Range anxiety: myth vs reality and how charging actually works 29:40 – Different lifestyles, commuting and choosing the right EV30:40 – Roberto test driving EVs and reconsidering his stance31:30 – Home charging, solar, and real-world running costs 33:15 – Alex's criteria for his next EV (road trips, range, usability)37:55 – Roberto presents EV shortlist for Alex38:00 – Tesla Model 3 discussion46:00 – Volkswagen, BMW, Hyundai and Kia comparisons 49:30 – Counter suggestions and alternative EV options50:10 – Jon's shortlist and priorities for a family EV 01:13:50 – Roberto's current thinking about replacing the M2 01:22:20 – Options, trims and spec pricing discussion01:23:45 – Final thoughts: where each of us stands on EVs 01:25:40 – Outro and wrap-upKey themesOne of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is that there's no single “best” EV.The right choice depends on how you actually use your car, whether you can charge at home, how far you regularly travel, and what matters most: comfort, range, driving experience or practicality.The episode also highlights how quickly EV technology and infrastructure have evolved in recent years, changing the ownership experience significantly compared with earlier electric cars.Listen if you are:• Thinking about buying your first electric car• Curious about real EV ownership rather than marketing claims• A petrolhead wondering whether electric cars are worth considering• Interested in cars, technology and honest conversationsAbout Tailoring Talk MagazineTailoring Talk Magazine is a podcast about style, technology, cars, culture and the things that make modern life interesting, hosted by Roberto Revilla with co-hosts Alex Hansford and Jon Evans.Follow and SubscribeIf you enjoyed this episode, follow the podcast and share it with someone who's thinking about going electric.

    Okay, this was a really, really great episode. Today I'm helping another founder with a life pitch fix, and you are really in for a treat because on the one hand, Strong by Form, the company of today, is absolutely fascinating. And on the other hand, we are also going to be covering so many helpful concepts that will help you improve your pitch and your communication, all while working on a really interesting case study.So to start off, I will just pitch you Strong by Form how I pitch it to friends or random people, right? If you think of a healthy tree, imagine a healthy tree with long branches. It is really fascinating how resilient trees can be, right? Surviving wind and storm. How is that possible? It is actually partially due to the way the fibers of the wood align. Now Strong by Form saw an opportunity here and decided to analyze this and learn from the natural fiber structure of trees to create wood that is as strong as steel or concrete.Now their super wood can be used as the cover, the external layer of cars. Imagine a Mercedes or a BMW just covered with a layer of wood on the outside.Super resilient, but it could also cover skyscrapers or replace the concrete slabs used within skyscrapers. Andreas Mitnick, the founder and CEO of Strong by Form, is, in my humble opinion, sitting on a gold mine of storytelling that can sometimes be pretty hard to grasp as the founder, right? Because there is a German saying: you don't see the forest due to too many trees.Well, that is exactly what is going on in this episode. You get to witness the process of rediscovering the forest, the big picture, as we, layer by layer, reshape the pitch of Strong by Form from the ground up. You will find that Andre's excitement and energy truly build throughout the episode.So I would say it really is worth listening until the end.

    Want a drive that actually feels like driving? We chart Texas routes that reward focus and finesse—FM 170 along Big Bend Ranch State Park with vast desert sight lines, the short-but-epic Palo Duro descent into red rock, Devil's Backbone across Hill Country ridges, the razor-tight Park Road 37 by Medina Lake, and the legendary Twisted Sisters with its switchbacks, blind crests, and breathtaking ranchland vistas. You'll get practical advice on when to go, what to watch, and how to prep so the only surprise is the view around the next bend.Then we flip the script and explore the wild side of automotive branding. Porsche's chef-level knives, Honda's quietly brilliant HondaJet, BMW and McLaren's high-end bicycles, Peugeot's heritage pepper mills, Toyota's loom-to-engine lineage, Mercedes' limited surfboards, and Bugatti's carbon fiber furniture show how engineering DNA travels from test tracks to kitchens, oceans, and living rooms. We dig into why these products make strategic sense—and where they're pure theater for the superfan.To ground it all, we share a hands-on review of the Lexus RX 450h Plus. The PHEV powertrain delivers smooth, satisfying acceleration and real-world efficiency, wrapped in a distinctive design that stands out from copycat SUVs. Inside, the minimalist cabin feels premium and calm, though we still want a few more physical controls for eyes-up driving. With up to 3,500 pounds of towing capacity, thoughtful packaging, and that excellent Mark Levinson sound, the RX 450h Plus competes credibly with the GLE and X5—especially if your routine fits the electric range sweet spot.If you're mapping a Hill Country loop, chasing bluebonnets, or just curious why a car brand would build a pepper mill, this episode brings the roads, the rationale, and the road test.

In this workshop-style episode, the group dives into the raw process of joke writing, taking unpolished premises and riffing on them to find the "funny".The episode kicks off with a heavy dose of reality shoveling nearly a foot of snow in the city. From there, the guys jump into joke development, covering everything from "Home Alone" style booby traps in Boonville to the absurdity of BMW's heated seat subscriptions. The highlights of the session come when Antonio shares his unique perspective on life's mysteries, including a hilarious breakdown of the "prejudice" found in the childhood classic The Land Before Time.Whether you are a stand-up comedian looking for insight into the riffing process or just a fan of raw, unfiltered comedy conversation, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at how a simple thought becomes a stage-ready bit.

    Massive tournament this week in Los Angeles, with Riviera on, and today we preview the tournament. This event has a cut, and the 10-shot rule is in play which is a good idea, but can go pear-shaped and we discuss when it did.Nick has played Riviera half a dozen times and he talks through how the course plays, what he enjoyed about it, and one hole he particularly loves. Mark wants to know if Nick would use the same clubs, in hindsight, as he typically did when he played there. He wouldn't as it turns out, and explains why.There is a specific kind of golfer, according to Nick, who Riviera suits beautifully and that starts to shape a Betr Multi that we're building for wolpackers. There are three players who stand out for different reasons, and our multi is built around them. Interestingly, we expected the multi might be about 8 bucks....it is well over double that! So whilst there is no guarantee of course, this Talk Birdie To Me multi feels like it might be worth considering.Nick also notes the back tees on one of the holes have been moved, which he feels suit the three players we've gone with. And outside of those three, Nick and Mark give their dark horses. Marks are perhaps predictable, a leopard never changes its spots, Nick has gone for a huge outsider and gives his reasons.If you have a Betr account, jump on board the Talk Birdie To Me multi, just head to Betr on the website or the app, and look at Betr specials, you'll find us there.

    Wow. Anthony Kim take a bow. After some significant personal challenges and demons to work through, this surely is one of time great redemption stories, and we rightly start todays show discussing his performance at LIV Adelaide - particularly his final day performance. Nick has played with Anthony and says that, by his own admission, he could be a difficult character but he has turned that around. Nick shares a text that he received a few months ago from his caddy Wilbur who had spent some time with Anthony and said that he was a changed man.Mark has some stats on Anthony from the last couple of years, that Ryan at the Monday Q Twitter page shared.Rahm's drop. What was that all about? A number of wolfpackers wrote in about it, we all saw it, Mark describes it as 'crazy', although Nick found Bryson's reaction amusing. On Rahm, we have a listen to the audio of him talking about The Australian Open, and Mark tees off again on the date.For Hostplus, Nick says that Rahm playing The Australian Open would be a plus for golf, along with the other big names who might also play it should the date be more favourable.LIV Adelaide was great, and rightly took a lot of the focus, however Pebble Beach was also exciting and Min Woo nearly got home! Morikawa played very well, and Mark says that he deserves enormous credit for recovering from what would have been a difficult week last week for him.For BMW , our Touch of Class this week is the outpouring of support for Anthony Kim after his LIV win. It was great to see.After the turn - we remind everyone of our Betr / Talk Birdie To Me multi - Scheffler to finish Top 5, Min Woo and Rory to finish Top 10 (including ties) at Riviera this weekend. Decent multi and it's paying 19 bucks at Betr, just head to the website or the Betr app, and search Betr specials.....we're right there!Marks Top 5 is players who have bounced back from significant adversity. There's some great stories.The PING Globals from Nick has plenty to discuss - and he diverts for a moment to tell a very funny story about an orangutan.....it sounds strange, but trust us, it's a must listen.Heaps of feedback - lots on LIV, also OWGR points, our Top 10 course list, and we discuss the Huntingdale redo.Nick's masterclass today is inspired by Anthony Kim.And just as we're wrapping the show, Nick gets a text from Wolfgang at BMW who has sent us his Top 10 Australian courses....and he's played them all!We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:BMW, luxury and comfort for the 19th hole;Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best;Golf Clearance Outlet, they beat everyone's prices;Betr, the fastest and easiest betting app in Australia;And watchMynumbers and Southern Golf Club.

    This will be fun. Today we're hosting superstar golf coach Ritchie Smith for Hostplus, and boy oh boy do we have a bit to talk with him about.Ritchie is unquestionably the leading golf coach in Australia, and you can make a compelling argument that he is the leading coach in the world. His stable of players include (among others) Min Woo Lee, Minjee Lee, Hannah Green, David Micheluzzi, Yuka Saso. Nick O'Hern and Mark Allen start by finding out how Ritchie got into golf, he started as a player, and he was a good one, but transitioned into coaching quite early.We find out about how he selects which players he will work with, the criteria that he has, and how he finds them or how they are brought to his attention. There is quite the process and quite a checklist, Ritchie explains why this is so important to him. One of the attributes is that he only works with players who are prepared to be 'vulnerable', and he tells us why this is a non-negotiable for him.Ritchie coaches Ryan Peake who has had some well documented challenges, of his own making, and Ritchie discusses the background, how they reconnected, and how he helped Ryan integrate back into golf after some years away following his incarceration.Hannah Green is one of Ritchie's most successful golfers, he describes her as 'the prototype of what I'd like my golfers to be'. He explains how he identified her as a kid, her development in the shadow of a couple of bigger names, and more recently how Hannah and he have completely rebuilt her swing. He explains how and why, and the results. Ritchie started working with Minjee as a 12-year old when he, in his words, 'didn't know what I was doing', clearly he does now! He talks us through Minjee's putting issues, why they changed to the long putter, and the results. He also coaches Min Woo and we're interested in his insights into coaching him, and particularly the work they are doing on Min Woo's iron play. Ritchie says that ''his iron play (was) poor", and he explains how they have been fixing it to ensure that aspect of his game is stronger. And he explains why he got 'cranky' with Min Woo at the Cognizant Classic, what he said to him, and what he had him change....and what happened as a result.David Micheluzzi has just come on board to be coached by Ritchie, and he explains to us what they are working on, and the theory Micheluzzi had on his swing that Ritchie needed to disprove for their work together to be successful. And we finish by finding out what comes after golf for Ritchie, what are his plans and dreams when he gives golf away!A fascinating chat with arguably the worlds best golf coach, thanks to Hostplus it was great to host Ritchie Smith on Talk Birdie To Me.

    We’ve got the voice of Radio Le Mans on the pod for the first time and they recorded the ep in the National Motor Racing Museum at Mount Panorama! Let’s face it between Rusty and John it was always going to be a big ask to keep the chat to a shortcast duration so there’s over half an hour of convo for you to enjoy ahead of this weekend’s race. From human interest stories like the Quinn entry where driving duties will be shared across three generations of the family to the headline grabbing return of MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi. He’s here because he wants to be! Why this event has become so well regarded internationally not just because of the lure of this classic race track. Can Maro Engel break a bit of a Bathurst hoodoo? And some of the standout Aussies in the field including Supercars champion Chaz Mostert and his rival who went so, so close to claiming that title last year - Broc Feeney. Plus some of the other stories to follow like Kenny Habul, Matt Campbell, BMW’s hopes of going back-to-back and the highly anticipated grudge match between Chev and Ford as the Corvette and the Mustang GT3 machines line-up for this unforgiving 12 hour race. Make sure you visit the National Motor Racing Museum the next time you get to Bathurst.

    Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode In this episode, Carm Capriotto reconnects with industry veteran Peter Rudloff to explore his transition from shop owner to consultant, his “stay in your lane” philosophy, and the future of EV repair. Rudloff shares how a 25-year exit plan allowed him to retire from shop ownership at 47 and transition into his home-based “Pete Cave,” where he continues hands-on work without managing employees. He later founded Rhino Collective LLC, helping manufacturers connect engineering with real-world repair. A central theme is specialization. By focusing on domestic and Asian vehicles and avoiding brands like BMW, Rudloff improved efficiency and profitability. He argues that staying within your strengths leads to “profit by default” and long-term stability. Looking ahead, he predicts EVs will dominate, and repair will shift toward modular, aircraft-style maintenance. He encourages new shop owners to consider EV specialization as a growth path. Rudloff also emphasizes ongoing education, recommending 60 hours of training per year and crediting the Delaware Training Group as a major influence on his career. This episode delivers clear, practical insight on focus, future-proofing, and lifelong learning in today's repair industry.
