Už v novembri sa po šiestich rokoch obnoví pravidelná letecká linka Bratislava - Košice. Deje sa to zároveň s tým, ako naše najväčšie letisko ožíva a profituje z novej politiky rakúskeho Schwechatu.Maďarský Wizz Air v ňom ruší základňu a časť biznisu presúva do Bratislavy. Tu sa však musí pasovať s najväčšími európskymi aerolinkami Ryanair, ktoré mu v konkurenčnom boji zatiaľ naozaj nič nechcú darovať.Vydrží Wizz Air tento tlak? Udrží pri živote spojenie hlavného mesta a metropoly východu, na ktoré získal od Slovenska licenciu a dotáciu?

The Catalyst: Sparking Creative Transformation in Healthcare
The first 100 feet of your patient's journey can determine whether they feel safe enough to heal or guarded enough to hold back. In this episode, I'm wrapping up my four-part miniseries on how to create a trauma-informed and neurodivergent-inclusive onboarding experience. I've learned that the way we welcome patients says as much about our care as the medicine we practice. Every detail - the tone of our emails, the questions we ask, the space we create - either builds trust or adds stress. What if every first interaction helped someone exhale and feel seen? What would change in your work if your process reflected safety, autonomy, and genuine connection? I'll share insights from my Catalyst Studio community and ways to make those first 100 feet of your patient's journey feel like the start of true healing.

Everyone agreed, letting the conversation flow freely.Hu: Ahogy a nap meleg sugarai elérték a medencét, és a víz lágyan fodrozódott körülöttük, Réka hirtelen felült.En: As the sun's warm rays reached the pool, and the water gently rippled around them, Réka suddenly sat up.Hu: „Van egy ötletem!” – kiabálta izgatottan.En: "I have an idea!" she shouted excitedly.Hu: Mindenki rá figyelt, ahogy elkezdte kifejteni az elképzelését.En: Everyone turned their attention to her as she began to lay out her vision.Hu: Réka élénk színekkel és részletekkel festette le az ötletet, amely egyesítette a kreatív megközelítéseket Áron gyakorlati javaslataival.En: Réka painted the idea with vivid colors and details, combining creative approaches with Áron's practical suggestions.Hu: Bence érezte, hogy valami különleges született meg előttük.En: Bence felt that something special was being born before them.Hu: Az egész csapat fellelkesülten kezdett vitázni, hozzátéve saját gondolatait Réka ötletéhez.En: The whole team enthusiastically started to debate, adding their own thoughts to Réka's idea.Hu: Ahogy teltek az órák, az elképzelés egyre inkább formát öltött.En: As the hours passed, the concept took on more shape.Hu: Bence érezte, hogy a stressz elillan belőle, és elégedetten mosolygott.En: Bence felt the stress melt away, and he smiled with satisfaction.Hu: Végül, amikor mindannyian kiléptek a medencéből, érezték, hogy nemcsak új tervekkel, hanem újból feltöltődve térnek vissza a munkához.En: Finally, when they all stepped out of the pool, they felt they were returning to work not only with new plans but also rejuvenated.Hu: Bence megtanulta, hogy bíznia kell a csapatában, Réka pedig önbizalmat nyert kreatív ötleteiben.En: Bence learned to trust his team, and Réka gained confidence in her creative ideas.Hu: Ahogy a hűvös őszi levegőben sétáltak vissza a városba, azzal a tudattal, hogy megtalálták a megoldást, az egész nap egy kicsit fényesebbnek tűnt.En: As they walked back to the city in the cool autumn air, knowing they had found the solution, the whole day seemed a little brighter.

Have you ever been in a meeting where people are brainstorming ideas, and each idea is more idiotic and off-target than the last one? It has happened to all of us. And if you're an experienced copywriter, sometimes it's hard to bite your tongue. Because the cheerful but inexperienced leader of the meeting has announced a rule: “There are no bad ideas!” Well, yes there are. In that meeting, you just heard a whole pile of them. I can almost guarantee what the problem was. There are several steps, including a crucial step, that everyone in the meeting never took. Falling in love with uninformed, aimless creativity is one of the biggest causes of wasted advertising dollars imaginable. And I'm going to tell you that missing piece, that missing step. I can't promise that everyone in the next meeting will take it ahead of time. But if they do, I promise you'll get much better ideas, even if you're the only copywriter there.

Mike Palmer is joined on this episode of Trending in Ed by Rich Braden and Tessa Forshaw, co-authors of the new book, Innovation-ish: How Anyone Can Create Breakthrough Solutions to Real Problems in the Real World. They talk about the core concepts of their book, including the "creativity gap," "innovation mythology," and "cognitive caution". We discuss how these ideas apply not only in business but also in education, and why creativity is not a magical quality but a skill that can be taught and cultivated. We also explore the role of AI in the creative process and how it can be used to augment human abilities. Key Takeaways: Creativity is for everyone. The authors challenge the myth that creativity is an innate quality held only by a few "media darlings" like Steve Jobs or Elon Musk. This "creativity gap" is a result of wrong mental models that can be changed. Embrace ambiguity. Innovation involves a natural aversion to ambiguity, which the authors call "cognitive caution". Acknowledging this and understanding that it is a necessary part of creating novel ideas can help us change our relationship with it. Focus on the individual. Braden and Forshaw's approach to teaching creativity centers on the learner's mind and how it works, rather than a rigid, external process. This includes using "mindsets" to intentionally change what you pay attention to, "moves" or small, actionable tasks that are less intimidating, and "metacognition" to determine what is needed. It's not "innovation," it's "innovation-ish." The word "innovation" can cause "hesitation" and a "physical reaction" in people. By setting the bar lower and asking people to be "a little bit innovation-ish," the authors make the concept more approachable and less intimidating. AI is a tool, not a replacement for human creativity. The authors discuss a study where students who used ChatGPT in a design class produced "mid" work that lacked originality and was capped in its potential. AI can be useful for things like varying text in brainstorming, but it cannot replicate the unique connections and perspectives that make human creativity so powerful. Don't miss this chance to learn how to innovate from two experts in the field who love education and provide sharp takes on how this applies to the future of learning.

You've got your AI trained with your brand voice and messaging, but you're still just using it to write social posts. (Sound familiar?) But what if you could actually use AI as a brainstorming partner?If you did the foundation work from last week's episode, your AI actually knows your business well enough to help you think through bigger challenges.In this episode, we explore how to brainstorm strategically with AI—not just content topics, but messaging angles, audience concerns, and potential blind spots in your approach. And don't worry, I also cover AI's significant limitations that most people ignore, like its built-in biases and tendency to tell you what you want to hear. The goal is using AI to think more thoroughly while staying in control of all strategic decisions.You in?

On the fitness side, we get into motivation hacks, gamifying workouts, and the importance of staying active when life gets busy. Mannuel also shares his journey of reviving the Off the Saddle Podcast, while we brainstorm new podcasting ideas and talk about the creative side of building content. Along the way, we explore hobbies, the benefits of oversharing, and the lost art of real conversation.

THE Leadership Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
Why leaders must nurture ideas if they want innovation to thrive in Japan People are more creative than they give themselves credit for, yet many work environments suppress rather than encourage innovation. Brainstorming sessions often produce nothing but wasted calendar space, or worse, good ideas that die on arrival because no one champions them. In Japan and globally, corporate graveyards are filled with unrealised concepts. Leaders must understand that creativity is not a one-off spark—it's a journey that requires cultivation, sponsorship, and careful timing. Why do so many good ideas die inside companies? Most ideas never make it past the brainstorming stage. Either nothing actionable emerges, or promising suggestions are quietly buried. Even in companies with innovation-friendly cultures, ideas face hurdles before they can be applied. Lack of sponsorship, risk aversion, and overloaded leadership pipelines kill innovation before it matures. In Japan, this is amplified by hierarchical decision-making. Ideas often stall before reaching senior management because middle managers, stretched thin and politically cautious, block their path. Without a system to shepherd ideas upward, they disappear. Mini-Summary: Good ideas often fail because they lack sponsorship, timing, or pathways upward—especially in Japan's hierarchical organisations. Where do creative ideas come from? Ideas start with individuals. Inspiration can come from anywhere—external networks, professional communities, or day-to-day frustrations. The broader an employee's networks, the higher the likelihood of fresh sparks. The problem is engagement. In Japan, only about 5–7% of employees rank as “highly engaged” in surveys. That means most staff aren't motivated to generate or push ideas. Without engagement, even the most creative sparks fizzle. Leaders must connect daily work to purpose so employees see why innovation matters. Mini-Summary: Creative ideas emerge from individuals with broad networks and high engagement—but in Japan, low engagement is a major innovation barrier. How can leaders cultivate employee ideas? Cultivation requires more than slogans about innovation. Leaders must make purpose explicit, encourage risk-taking, and reward those who step outside comfort zones. If junior staff can't articulate the company's “why,” their ideas will lack direction. In Japan, where conformity often trumps experimentation, leaders must show daily that trying new things is safe. Recognising effort, even when ideas fail, builds confidence. The way leaders treat innovators—successes and failures alike—sets the tone for the whole organisation. Mini-Summary: Leaders cultivate ideas by clarifying purpose, rewarding risk-taking, and encouraging experimentation—even in failure. Why do smart ideas need sponsors and champions? Ideas rarely succeed alone. They need collaborators to refine them and sponsors to promote them. Expecting to walk straight into a boardroom with a raw idea is unrealistic. Allies, mentors, and champions must first shepherd it through the system. In Japanese firms, where harmony is prized, ideas must often be “harmonised” at lower levels before reaching executives. Champions play a critical role in ensuring promising concepts aren't lost to politics or hierarchy. Mini-Summary: Ideas need allies and champions to survive the political journey inside companies, especially in hierarchical Japan. How does timing affect idea success? Even brilliant ideas fail if introduced at the wrong time. Microsoft famously launched its Tablet PC years before the iPad, and its SPOT Watch long before the Apple Watch. Both flopped, not because the ideas were bad, but because the market wasn't ready. In Japan, timing is especially crucial when companies face cost-cutting or conservative leadership cycles. Innovation requires resources—time, talent, and money—which are scarce during downturns. Leaders must align idea introduction with corporate readiness. Mini-Summary: Timing can make or break ideas—introduce them too early or in the wrong climate, and they will fail regardless of quality. What systems help ideas travel upward? Without an “express lane” for good ideas, most are trapped in corporate silos. Middle managers, often protective of their turf, can stall innovation. Creating formal pathways that allow vetted ideas to reach senior leaders quickly is essential. Some global companies use innovation labs or dedicated sponsorship committees to fast-track ideas. In Japan, establishing such systems prevents good ideas from being smothered by bureaucracy or politics. Leaders who create express lanes differentiate themselves and unlock competitive advantage. Mini-Summary: Formal “express lanes” help promising ideas bypass bureaucracy and reach top decision-makers, ensuring innovation isn't lost. Conclusion The creative idea journey within companies is long and fraught with obstacles. Ideas require engaged employees, cultivation, sponsorship, careful timing, and systems that allow them to travel upward. In Japan's conservative corporate culture, leaders must work even harder to ensure innovation isn't stifled by hierarchy or risk aversion. The true white-collar crime of leadership is failing to apply ideas that could have transformed the business.

As trend following begins to reassert itself, Niels and Nick Baltas dig beneath the surface of recent CTA performance - where the signals are working, why fixed income remains unresolved, and how speed is revealing deeper structural divides. But this episode goes beyond attribution. What if the industry has mistaken correlation shifts for changes in signal speed? What if the very idea of a “trend beta” is flawed? And what if compounding durable returns isn't about chasing performance, but protecting against path? This is a conversation about design over style, clarity over convention, and the quiet decisions that shape real outcomes.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Nick on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps:00:50 - Catching up05:02 - Industry performance update13:18 - How the speed of trend following strategies is changing24:13 - Is there a way to define speed differently?32:19 - Do we have the right definition of a trend index?38:20 - Brainstorming ideas on how to improve trend following benchmarks43:50 - The best car needs the best brakes49:26 - Baltas framework for enhancing trend following performanceCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the...

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Why Your Best Ideas Come When You Stop Trying So Hard July 31, 2025 | Episode 5149 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Scott takes you behind the scenes of his Face Your Passion Inner Circle call in this spontaneous, unscripted episode. Fresh off a powerful coaching session, he shares game-changing insights about treating exercise like your job, "pre-selling" your time for what matters, and why brainstorming isn't what you think it is. This isn't your typical structured podcast—it's raw coaching wisdom that'll shift how you think about productivity, focus, and getting what you want in life. Sometimes the best insights come when you least expect them. Featured Story Scott opens up about his "coaching call about nothing"—a weekly session where nobody knows what'll happen, but everyone gets exactly what they need. Inspired by Jerry Seinfeld's approach, this unstructured format creates space for breakthrough moments. The magic happens when you show up without a predetermined agenda and let authentic connection and spontaneous wisdom flow. It's proof that sometimes the most powerful results come from embracing the unexpected rather than forcing a plan. Important Points Exercise becomes non-negotiable when you treat it like your job—if you know you're getting paid, you'll show up and do the work. "Pre-selling your time" means buying back hours for yourself at your hourly rate, making you serious about protecting that space for what matters most. Brainstorming is unfocused time for capturing ideas throughout the day, while organization is focused energy work that requires your full attention and higher energy levels. Memorable Quotes "You don't even know what you're gonna get out of it today, but you know you want to show up because every time you do, you get exactly what you needed that day." "Point yourself in the right direction. Do the things you know you're supposed to be doing and let things happen." "The more you put the time in, the more you realize the stuff was going to happen anyway. Why didn't I do that sooner?" Scott's Three-Step Approach Schedule exercise like a job commitment—treat it as paid time that you must show up for, no matter what. Calculate your hourly rate and "buy back" time for yourself by blocking calendar space, then protect that investment like you would any business expense. Capture brainstorming ideas throughout your day during unfocused activities, then use high-energy focused time to organize and connect those ideas on paper.
