In this week's show: British Airways signs a major deal with Starlink to provide every customer in every cabin free Wi-Fi;  Qantas Airways' 1st Airbus A350‑1000ULR for Project Sunrise takes shape in Toulouse; and the FAA grounds all MD-11 and MD-11F fleets pending inspections in wake of Louisville crash. It is also easyJet's 30th birthday this week and we'll talk about little about that too.   In the military: Airbus Defence has delivered the first A400M tactical transport aircraft to the Indonesian Air Force and sadly there has been an accident to a Turkish Air Force C-130 which occurred after departure from Azerbaijan.   On the lighter side of things, we have a highly amusing caption competition this week, that features Captain Al as the most mentioned person in the comments.

British Airways has paused its sponsorship of The Louis Theroux Podcast following an interview with Bob Vylan's frontman. Pascal Robinson-Foster, one half of the controversial punk duo, told Theroux in an episode which aired a few days ago that he was "not regretful" of chanting "death, death to the IDF " at this year's Glastonbury music festival. He added that he would "do it again, twice on Sundays." British Airways said on Saturday that the content "breaches" its sponsorship policy and has since paused its advertising on the podcast. Meanwhile, there is pressure from the Jewish community and elsewhere on the BBC to withdraw its support for the Louis Theroux Podcast after he referred in the podcast interview to Zionism as "a form of white supremacy."

Reverse mentoring flips the script, pairing ambitious younger employees with seasoned leaders to share insights on today's hot topics, from tech trends to leadership styles. First popularized by Jack Welch at GE in the '90s, it's now a strategic powerhouse for attracting and retaining young talent. The magic happens when the right pairs are formed—think introverts with extroverts—to spark dynamic conversations. Engaging mentees in the process is key, as addressing any fears about crossing hierarchical lines lays the groundwork for trust. Without commitment, even the best matches can fizzle out. The perks are hard to ignore: Companies with reverse mentoring programs report a 72% boost in communication and an impressive 96% retention rate for younger employees. Participants leave feeling empowered, fostering innovation and keeping leaders in tune with market shifts. Plus, it amplifies diversity and inclusion by shedding light on workplace challenges. Take BNY Mellon, where the program has deepened connections and encouraged leaders to seek employee input. Others, like Estée Lauder and British Airways, have tapped into reverse mentoring to drive culture change and dismantle barriers. In short, reverse mentoring is a two-way street, turning the wisdom of experience into fresh perspectives that invigorate the workplace.

Alex Goldie grew up walking on eggshells in a violent, alcohol-fueled household where he became the family peacemaker - literally throwing pillows into rooms to break up fights. By his twenties, that traumatised child had become an anxious, procrastinating young man stuck in patterns he desperately wanted to break. Then COVID hit, he lost his job with British Airways, and from his lowest point, Alex turned to TikTok, making videos about mental health that weren't meant to go viral - but did. His honesty and raw emotion struck a nerve with millions who recognised their own struggles in his words. Today, with 2.5 million followers and a bestselling book, Alex has built his platform on a radical premise: his ultimate goal is to be unfollowed, because that means you've healed enough to move on without him.Five lessons you'll learn:Embarrassment is an unexplored emotion - some of the best things in life are on the other side of embarrassment. If you can be okay with being embarrassed, you can accomplish anything.You are not wedded to anyone - people can become walls that limit your creativity and growth. Set strong boundaries with those who hold you back, including family if necessary.Success is boring and mundane - real achievement isn't glamorous - it's doing small things consistently every day. Stop waiting for motivation and start taking steps, however tiny.Depression can't hit a moving target - the remedy to anxiety and depression is movement. Leave your house, experience weather, meet people, have real-life adventures instead of relying on convenience.Compare yourself only to yesterday's version - in this age of comparison, the only healthy benchmark is your own progress. Ask yourself: am I in a better place than I was yesterday?

“If I have to ask for permission, then it's not Mini."In this episode, Verena Gründel speaks with Jennifer Treiber-Ruckenbrod, Head of Brand & Marketing at Mini, about what it means to lead a brand with courage in a highly regulated and risk-averse automotive environment. Having worked across BMW, BMW Motorrad, Rolls-Royce, and now Mini, Jennifer shares how she's bringing back Mini's challenger spirit with creative risk-taking, campaigns that push boundaries, and an authentic commitment to diversity.One of the most vivid stories in the episode is the guerrilla-style campaign involving British Airways. A bold creative on a Mini Convertible, referencing “Britishness,” was launched without any prior approval from the airline. The result? They had to take the billboards down - but not before the campaign sparked buzz, pride, and also applause internally. She reveals why Mini's boldest moves come from staying true to its DNA. The two talk about building a real culture of failure, how AI plays a role in Mini's transformation, and why great ideas don't come from permission but from passion.Discover:What happened when Mini spoofed British Airways without askingIf “Don't buy this car” might be Mini's future sloganHow her team used AI for campaigns and learned to love itWhy trust, heritage and a clear brand core are the real enablers of boldnessHow Jennifer leads creative teams within a large corporation without losing agilityGet inspired by Mini's unapologetically bold marketing - and by Jennifer's fearless leadership.And if you want to hear more from Jennifer: don't miss her keynote “CTRL+ALT+MINI” at the CMO Summit on September 18 at 10:35 AM at DMEXCO.

#152 Toyota's Secret Weapon: Applying the A3 and Nemawashi for Customer Loyalty

Delighted Customers Podcast

What if the real secret to customer loyalty and transformation isn't just about great ideas, but about how you build consensus within your organization—before you make a single move? Too often, even the smartest strategies can get derailed by resistance, misalignment, or simple miscommunication inside a company. That's why I was eager to dig into the Japanese concept of "Nemawashi," a systematic approach to consensus-building that's been central to Toyota's legendary pursuit of customer delight and continuous improvement. Imagine cutting through internal silos and getting people not just to "buy in," but to truly commit—streamlining innovation from inside out. The impact? Smarter, faster, and more sustainable change that sticks. If you care about transforming customer experience and sparking lasting organizational change, you don't want to miss this episode with Dr. Graham Hill. He brings not only a global perspective but also hands-on experience as the former head of CRM for Toyota Financial Services—where these very principles drove jaw-dropping results. Dr. Hill's blend of academic rigor, practical insight, and international expertise makes this a must-listen for anyone looking to break down barriers and drive real, measurable progress. Here are three standout questions Graham answers on the show: What is Nemawashi, and how does it fundamentally change the way organizations drive internal consensus and transformation? Why is commitment more important than simple executive buy-in when trying to make organizational change succeed? How can the A3 model and concepts like Gemba and Kaizen help teams collaborate more effectively and boost campaign results? Don't miss this fascinating exploration—listen and subscribe to the Delighted Customers podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, or find us on all your favorite podcast platforms. Meet Dr. Graham Hill Dr. Graham Hill is a recognized global authority on customer experience, loyalty, and organizational transformation. With an extensive background spanning over thirty-five years, Graham has worked with top brands such as British Airways, Ford Motor Company, the Royal Bank of Scotland, and notably spent over five years with Toyota Financial Services in Germany as Head of CRM. There, he learned firsthand the power of Japanese business principles like Nemawashi, the A3 model, and Kaizen—applying them to drive breakthrough improvements, including a leap from a 5–10% to a 35% response rate in customer campaigns. He's also held senior roles at firms like PricewaterhouseCoopers and KPMG Consulting, bringing both rigorous academic and practical expertise to the table. While Graham humbly resists the title of "Japanese culture expert," his immersion in Toyota's approach has given him a unique perspective on the art and science of organizational change. Today, he's active on LinkedIn—passionate about sharing what he's learned and helping others cultivate more collaborative, customer-centric organizations.

Today we are talking about what happens when you turn left on the airplane and fly business class! Now that Kim and Tamara have flown business class on many airlines including Delta One, Aer Lingus, TAP Airlines, Emirates, Finnair, Condor, Avianca, and others. Whether you are booking on points or paying cash, there are some things that you need to know first. Episodes Highlights Research what aircraft is flying the route you are looking to buy because the business class can vary dramatically depending on the plane and the layout Keep in mind that the airline can still change the aircraft after booking The airline will provide you with the aircraft type and should list if it is a lay flat seat or a suite You can also research how often the aircraft is switched out Also look at YouTube plane reviews for the specific route that you are looking at booking You may want to splurge on business class on longer flights, for example longer than eight or nine hours Consider if you have an overnight flight, you may want to upgrade to business class Keep in mind that if the flight is leaving in the early evening, it may still be hard to sleep Also, dinner service can really cut into your potential sleep time so on a shorter flight (e.g. from the east coast to Europe), it may not be worth it If you want to book with points, you can also use a paid service or use paid apps to try to find the best reward flights If you are booking on points, keep in mind that you still need to pay taxes and fees on most flights and some airports (such as London Heathrow) are very expensive If you have Avios points, you can move them to different programs but other partner programs you can combine Business class is different than first class. Many airlines don't have first class, such as Qatar or Delta, but others have first class, business class, premium economy, and economy When you are traveling business class, you have access to the priority lane for checking your bags Some airports offer a priority security lane as well When traveling business class, you have access to the airline lounge (if available in the airport) You also get to board early and they will typically bring you a welcome drink Keep in mind that your under-the-seat space is limited in business class and some airlines or aircraft set ups have better storage than others The airline will also provide you with a small amenity kit with a sleep mask, moisturizer, lip balm, and other items They will also provide you with a comfy blanket and pillow and some will make up your bed for you Our favorite business class experiences include Qatar, Turkish Airlines, and JetBlue Mint Our favorite lounge experiences have been the Virgin lounge in Heathrow, the Business Class lounge for Turkish Airlines in Istanbul, and the Garden in Doha, and the British Airways lounge Related Episodes How to choose your seat on the airplane What to know about airline fees Airport travel tips
