Through personalized financial guidance and a culture of empowerment, Zane supports clients with complex financial needs while giving employees the tools, trust, and opportunities they need to grow professionally. In this conversation, Zane introduces The Turn the Ship Around Framework—Delegate Decisions to the Source of Information, Put the Right People in the Right Seats, and Remove Friction That Impedes Performance. He explains why informed employees should have the authority to make decisions, how leaders can remove barriers instead of controlling daily operations, and why culture must remain a priority as a company scales. Zane also discusses macro patience and micro speed, creating opportunities for employee ownership, encouraging intrapreneurship, and helping multigenerational families coordinate their investments, tax planning, estate planning, and financial legacies. — Lead, Guide, & Educate with Zane Keller  Good day. Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast, and my guest today is Zane Keller, CEO of Ducere Wealth Management, with a vision to be the leading provider of tech-driven, tax-optimized wealth management services for clients through their advisory support, that every client’s assets, time, and relationships are prioritized. Zane, welcome to the show.  Thanks, Steve. Appreciate you having me.  So, Zane, before we jump in and talk about Ducere Wealth, I’m very curious about your personal why, and how are you manifesting it in the company through the company’s business?  Sure. Well, early on, I knew I liked—one of my biggest passions was helping people solve problems. And one of the amazing things about being in the wealth management industry is you get to help people solve a lot of problems that are personal for them, and that’s their finances. It tends to be a personal subject for them, and allowing them guidance, support, understanding, and being a listening ear is what I find to be extremely rewarding in the business we have. But starting a company and having a team, and building that team, and building all the infrastructure and support and all of that, to me, the employees are as much clients as our clients are clients.  And so it’s an interesting position that I’m in, where it’s a dual role of both looking at it from a standpoint of how do we help our clients with the day-to-day or yearly challenges they face, but also how do I make sure that our employees are empowered to deliver the right client service and feel that they can continue to grow and expand in their careers. So I just like helping people, and I get to do it every day.Share on X  Yeah. Okay. That’s great. So when you talk about solving problems, obviously finance is a mirror for all an individual’s life aspirations, problems, challenges, opportunities, all that stuff. Your people are also humans, individuals, and they probably have similar challenges, so that’s a really neat mosaic there. So what is most challenging in building a wealth management firm like that?  I think the most challenging thing is all of the decisions are on you. And when I talk to other business leaders, there isn’t a roadmap, there isn’t a manual in terms of how people build their businesses, build their teams, and a lot of it is a balance of both trusting your instinct and what your background and lessons have been, as well as trusting those that you have brought in to help build the enterprise.  I was fortunate that I get to work with my dad, who had gone through this venture before, and we’ve gotten a chance to partner together and build it from the ground up. We went from a year ago, I had to order two laptops on Amazon, get a URL from GoDaddy, and start from scratch. And, you know, a year later, we find ourselves with 14 employees, an office in Newport, an office in Las Vegas, $600 million in assets under management, and continuing to want to grow, and being fortunate that we have a tremendous client base who trusts us.  But we’ve been able to attract and retain top-quality employees and team members who we rely on every day to continue building out the vision.  Well, I mean, building $600 million in assets under management in a year in a business like wealth management sounds almost like an impossible goal. Did you have a portfolio that you kind of imported into this business, or was that completely from scratch?  No. We had clients that we had worked with previously. We had left a big bank.  Okay.  And so some of those clients came over with us, but a lot of it was growing organically through COIs, through other marketing efforts, and bringing on other advisors who wanted to leverage our platform to provide a better service for their clients.  That’s fantastic. So how does one start a wealth management business? It sounds like one of the hardest businesses to start because it’s a trust-based business, from what I see, and it’s a very slow-burn kind of business. How do you actually grow a business like that?  Well, I think first is, in our industry, what’s interesting is there’s a lot of different business types. You have the wirehouses, the broker-dealers. There are people that are very successful just being anchored to a Wells Fargo or a J.P. Morgan or Merrill Lynch and building within that. Then you have folks who have gone to the roll-ups. Private equity has become pretty involved in our industry—a lot of roll-ups, a lot of consolidation.  Their value proposition is defined platforms that you can just plug in. And then you have what I consider the true independents, ourselves included, where we had a vision of we didn’t want to be held back or bogged down by two areas. One, as things get larger and larger and larger, the wheels turn slower and slower. And I think we're in a unique area from a business evolution cycle that leveraging AI, leveraging the technology, being able to make decisions quickly is going to be a substantial differentiator over the next several years.Share on X  And we didn’t want to have the conflicts that inherently come when you are backed by investors, and the focus is how do you maximize revenue, even if it may be at the expense of clients or at the expense of employees or at the expense of growth that you don’t see the return on investment for several years. So we decided that we were going to do it from scratch. Luckily, I had a background in—at the previous firm, I had helped build out all of the tech stack.  I’d worn almost every hat you can have at an RIA, and I had the experience from my father having gone through this, that between the two of us, there was enough goodwill or brand equity to build it out. But the other thing that we decided to do is there’s a reason it’s not called Keller Wealth or Keller Investments. The goal was never to have it be about ourselves. It was about creating a brand and a vision where others feel like they can be a part of.  357: Lead, Guide, & Educate with Zane KellerShare on X So as we brought on employees, I’ve challenged them that they have a responsibility to make an impact on the organization, and we start with culture. People have to be a culture fit first. We will not sacrifice culture for all the money on God’s green earth because I can confidently say that I don’t know how much business or revenue we’re missing out on if the team is not functioning at the highest level possible. So the first and foremost is a cultural fit. Then we look at the skills, the competencies, the ability to grow. But for us, culture is number one.  Yeah, love it. So what does it take to grow a wealth management firm? What drives growth in your business?  I think it takes three kind of main pieces. One is understanding that there’s a term GaryVee uses called “macro patience, micro speed.” And what we had set out initially is I knew that there were several steps between SEC registration, getting relationships with a custodian, getting relationships with tech vendors, finding office space, all of that that needs to be done just from a basic business foundation standpoint. What I needed to do, when we needed to do it, and logging every week.  I actually would send emails to myself and my dad for the first two months before we had employees of everything that got done the previous week, and what we needed to get done the next week, and what our blockers were if things couldn’t get done. Then that kind of grew into, as we had employees, becoming a consistent weekly check-in as we were heading towards what I consider our launch date, which was July 28th, because that’s when we actually received SEC approval.  So the first two months was just building the architecture, building up where we’re going to work, what we’re going to work with, all of those decisions being put in place. I’m fortunate enough that I’ve been involved with a lot of different companies in the industry over the years. So I had people who had done this before, people who had worked with large RIAs, small RIAs, and everything in between to lean on as advisors.  I think one of the things that I was more than surprised by was the amount of outpouring of support. “I’m happy to help you. What do you need? What can we do to make you successful? I know someone that I can connect you to.” And I think that's kind of the unique thing about our industry, is that there is a lot of camaraderie and willingness to help each other, even if you may be competitors in some aspects.Share on X  That’s interesting. So when you say “macro patience, micro speed,” what do you mean by that exactly?  So our goal is to get to a billion or more in AUM. And while I’d love to do that overnight, it takes time, both from bringing in clients, market performance. I’d love everything to be fully integrated from an AI standpoint, but again, those things take time. So a lot of the times, I think leaders have an issue with wanting to get to the destination as quickly as possible and not thinking through all the steps they need to get there.  So each step along the way, or what I consider the day-to-day, I try to get as much done in the hours that I have during the day, and that’s where the speed lies. And eventually that compounds, just like investing, into where we want to go from an overall firm standpoint. But me saying, “I just want to be at a billion dollars,” that’s great. But you’re going to say, “Well, what are you doing every day to get there?” I can go, “Well, I’ve had this many prospect meetings.  I’ve had this many client meetings. We’ve reviewed this much market information. We’ve decided to put money towards these investments.” It’s the day-to-day decision-making and being quick in doing that that I think is imperative for us to get to where our goal is going to be.  Okay. So this is a podcast called Management Blueprint, and it’s a podcast of frameworks. We are 350-plus episodes in, and every episode is a different framework. So I wonder, what’s a framework that you have come across, or maybe your did or you guys refined it, invented it, or improved it, that helps you build this business, that helps you do something more effectively, maybe getting new clients, maybe building your team members or training them, maybe getting the word out, whatever part of business it is that can be explained in three to five steps?  Sure. So there’s a book called Turn the Ship Around! by David Marquet, and that, from a leadership standpoint, is the mentality that I have taken since day one. To boil it down into one sentence, it’s this: The people with the information make the decisions. And so if the team is coming to me all the time for every possible decision in order to move this business along, there’s no way that we’re going to grow at the rate or grow, arguably, period, the way that we want to succeed.  So when I sit down with the team, one, the first question needs to be, if you’re running an enterprise like this, do you have the right people in the positions they’re at? Do they have the competencies, the understanding, and the cooperation with others to effectively make decisions in their role? And then the second thing that I spend the majority of my time on is, are there things inhibiting them from doing their role? So things such as, do they not know what their budget is? Do they not know who the decision-makers on the other end are? Do they not know that they are responsible or allowed to make those decisions?  So my goal is to make sure that they understand that if they have the information and we have built what the, I guess, framework or the bumpers are in bowling, that it's their decision to make and to inform me why they made the decisionShare on X not for them to come to me and say, “Do we do A or do we do B?” When we have a team, the expectation is there’s a lot of moving pieces. To your point earlier, it’s a lot to run an RIA. It’s a lot to run a wealth management firm.  There’s several things happening all at once, several things that are intertwined, and you can’t have one person that is reasonable as you grow in scale to be aware or understanding of the pros and cons of every decision. So we’ve brought people on. We have a full investment team. They are responsible for making the investment decisions. I listen in, but I’m not doing the due diligence. I’m not meeting with the managers. I’m not doing all of that. We have folks that are responsible from an operations side, making sure things day-to-day happen. I’m not the one making the decisions on that.  But if they come to me and say, “Hey, this is becoming difficult,” or, “We can’t get ahold of so-and-so,” then I step in. But the whole point of it is making sure that they feel empowered. The people with the information make the decisions. You get the right people in place, you should have, from a leadership standpoint, very few decisions you have to make on a day-to-day basis.Share on X Yeah, that’s great. So basically, you share your contextual understanding of your business with the people who work for you so that they can connect the dots as well, make decisions, and you can focus on the strategic part of the business. What do you and your dad focus on?  Yeah. I’d say it’s two parts. One is focusing on the more complex client issues, as we have multi-generational, multi-family clients, and also where we want the business to go. And it’s not one-dimensional. It’s bringing on more clients, plus bringing on additional advisors, plus looking at things from a national standpoint. After COVID, Zoom has become very useful, and people have become comfortable with having what I consider tele-wealth.  So their advisor may be in a different state, and they’re completely comfortable with that. And so it’s pursuing all of these various growth avenues because the day-to-day is being taken care of. So my focus is just that. It’s focusing on strategy. Where does the next $600 million come from? What about the $600 million after that? And how do we continue to grow in a manner where we don’t sacrifice some of the things that make us unique? As an example, our team constantly talks, interacts all day long, not just on “This is the work that needs to be done,” but people genuinely like working together.  I don’t have a strict in-office policy. The entire team’s here five days a week. I’ve not asked them to do that. I’ve not said they need to do that, but they genuinely enjoy working here. So when we open up a second office, how do we keep that kind of consistency? When we open up a third office or fourth? It's those kinds of areas that I think I spend a lot of my time trying to figure out and see how we grow without sacrificing some of the core values that we have.Share on X  Yeah. So what are your core values?  Probably three big ones. One is, I don’t know if I’m allowed to say it on the podcast here, but we have a no-assh*le policy. You have to be a genuinely good person to work here. You have to genuinely care about other people, and that is the first test. Two, we want, just like the firm grows, we expect the team to grow personally and professionally.  So if you’re going to be here when we do a review, I’m going to ask you: How are you better at contributing to the organization, to your team, and to your coworkers than you were a year ago, and what do you expect to do better a year from now? And then the third thing is: How are you defending our culture? We may have new people come in. What are you doing to set the tone as to how we work here at Ducere? Because, as I mentioned earlier, it’s not just about me and my dad. It’s about the collective organization, each individual playing their part to enhance and protect our culture.  Yeah. So it’s very clear that you talk about culture repeatedly. It sounds like it’s a really big part of your identity and how you want to build this firm.  Absolutely.  So what’s one thing that you’re actively trying to figure out in this business right now?  I think one of the big things is: How do we effectively bring on an advisor where we understand they have a book of business, and we understand they have a certain way of doing things, integrating them into our platform, but allowing them to operate with their own unique style. One of the challenges with scale is sometimes you scale and you give up originality or a unique way that, Steve, you may do something, then I do it a little differently, but it ultimately gets the same goal.  And really looking at what are the goals or deliverables that an advisor wants to bring to their clients, and can we allow them flexibility to get there in their own way? And I’ll give you a good example. So what we do from an asset management standpoint is we have what I call an open architecture. So for any given portfolio, there can be a number of combinations and permutations that give you a similar risk profile or result, and we leave that up, if the advisor wants to, for them to decide what that makeup looks like, as long as it’s within the parameters that we’ve set from a risk standpoint.  So as an example, Steve, you say, “I’m aggressive,” and I go, “Great. I’m not going to put you in one stock if you’re retired. That’s too aggressive.” But we do have several things that are approved on the platform, and we do continuous due diligence where we can say, “Steve, here’s two or three options. Which best serves your client? Which is going to be something that your client understands and feels comfortable with?” So that’s one area that we’ve really been trying to focus on and figure out how we express that differentiator in a way that it actually resonates with those advisors.  Yeah. That’s great. So basically, you want to build an organization where people can stay entrepreneurial. They don’t have to just live in a box that is given to them. So you capture more creativity and more personality in your business so that you can grow in a more nimble way. Is this what you’re trying to do here?  Yeah. I think the official term they’ve called it is intrapreneurship instead of entrepreneurship. But yes, the goal is: How do we get the team to come and say, “Hey, I think we have this issue, and here’s the solution I want to have, and it’s a little different than what we do, but I think there’s a way to make it happen”? And again, the people with the information make the decisions. How do I remove as many blockers as possible so they can continue to pursue that avenue? But the big thing is, some folks sometimes get sidetracked.  They go down rabbit holes or they veer off on projects that may not be going towards what our goal is, right? Growing, adding more revenue, adding more clients. And so as long as there’s a tieback to what our goals are as a firm, then we’re all for empowering them to be able to pursue those passions.  How do you maintain that structure in a family-started business? That can be a tricky one. People might feel that there’s a glass ceiling or they’re always going to stay an outsider. How do you resolve this tension?  That’s a great question, and it’s something that verbally hasn’t come up to me, but I can certainly see people’s perspective on it. And so my dad and I tend to be pretty transparent as to what's going on, what we're dealing with, getting feedback from the team.Share on X And while this is a 40-plus-year venture for me, for my dad, it’s probably about another 10-year venture for him.  And so we’ve stated that our goal is to get to the point where we can be 100% employee-owned, but we can have multiple employees who are owners of the firm. I’m a strong believer in giving people the opportunity to earn their equity. And if we do get to the point where we sell the organization one day, I want to brag about how many millionaires I created.  I don’t think anyone will ever care how many millions someone makes for themselves. And so we’ve, from day one, been very vocal and communicative to the team that the expectation is that as many of the employees as it makes sense, and that they’ve earned it, can earn equity. We plan on doing that, but it’s probably not going to be until about year three where we actually start putting that together from a formal standpoint.  Yeah. That’s fascinating. So who is an ideal client for you? So if someone is listening to this and they think, “Ah, maybe I should talk to Ducere,” how do they know whether they are in the sweet spot of what you’re looking for and who you can serve the most?  Sure. Well, our best clients are ones that tend to be multi-generational, so they’re families that are looking to pass on the management of the wealth from maybe the matriarch or the patriarch to the next generation, and they have more complex investments, partnerships, family limited partnerships. They have an interest in private or alternative investments, and they’re looking for someone to help with that transition and possibly help with the next generational transition, and a partnership that’s another 20 to 30 years.  So folks that are qualified investors that tend to have complex tax and estate needs and really want someone who’s a quarterback between all the other professionals that they work with—CPAs, attorneys, et cetera—that’s who our ideal client is. There are firms out there that offer everything in-house, right? We do your taxes, we do everything. And the analogy I like to use with clients is that’s like going to a buffet. Buffets, for some people, are great, but I’ve never had my greatest meal at a buffet.  Usually, it’s fine dining, where it’s a specific niche that they are looking to serve. And so if they’re happy with the other professionals that they work with, our job is to fill in that gap to make sure that things get coordinated, they get an understanding of what their financial picture is, it’s clear-cut as to how to get to those goals. And I think the biggest and most successful clients we’ve had are ones who want to learn. They want to be educated clients. They want to be educated investors. And so those are the type of clients that would be ideal: multi-generational, complex financial needs from a tax, estate planning, and private investment standpoint.  They’re also looking to work with a firm that may not have some of the conflicts that the Merrill Lynches and Wells Fargos, who may sell you their own proprietary products, because we don’t make any commission. We’re fee-only. Or some of the PE firms who are looking to figure out how to maximize profit off each client. And that’s not the way that we look at it either.  Yeah, I think a lot of people are waking up to the idea that if the owners are super profit-oriented, then it means someone will have to pay the bill. And if there’s a huge imbalance between the motivations of the company and the individuals, then it can create tensions down the road. When I look for home services, I always look for, okay, which company is the one that maybe is a locally owned one, genuinely locally owned with real people that I can talk to and who I can trust, rather than a faceless institution that essentially dictates the policies that may not always be in my interest.  So I appreciate the independence. So if the listeners would like to learn more and figure out whether they have enough complexity or whether you are the right fit for them, where can they find out more, and how can they connect with you?  Sure. We have our website, ducerewealth.com. We’re actually, for our one-year anniversary in about two weeks, revamping it, and so there’s going to be a lot of resources for all the various niche types of clients that we work with, and there are several forms out there. You can contact me, zane@ducerewealth.com. I’m a principal, but I talk to our prospects and clients, and we just want to do what’s best for the client. So, ducerewealth.com, and we welcome any and all of those interested.  Okay. So if you have complex financial needs, or you just want to think about your legacy and transition maybe to the next generation and how to maximize your wealth, check out Ducere Wealth Management and reach out to Zane Keller on LinkedIn. And if you enjoyed the show, then make sure you follow us on YouTube, give us a review on Apple Podcasts, and stay tuned because every week we have a couple of exciting entrepreneurial leaders who come to the show and share their most secret frameworks.

Es gibt Momente im Berufsleben eines Reisejournalisten, da schaut man auf den Stapel neuer Bücher, Pressemappen und wohlmeinender Branchenliteratur und spürt, wie die innere Gangway langsam hochgezogen wird… Besonders zuverlässig passiert das bei Kreuzfahrtbüchern. Denn seien wir ehrlich: Die Welt ist nicht arm an Berichten über schwimmende Ferienanlagen, an hymnischen Beschreibungen von Sonnenuntergängen über dem Lido-Deck oder an literarisch ambitionierten Schilderungen jener existenziellen Grenzerfahrung, die darin besteht, am Seetag zwischen drei Buffets und zwei Shows wählen zu müssen. Meine Begeisterung war also überschaubar, als das nächste Manuskript über die große weite Welt auf See auf meinem Schreibtisch landete. Brauchen wir wirklich noch einen Reisebericht über „Abenteuer“ auf einem 6.000-Betten-Pott? Noch eine salzige Liebeserklärung an Balkonkabinen, Captains Dinner und das große Glück, morgens in einer anderen Destination aufzuwachen, während im Hintergrund die Klimaanlage summt und die Landstrom-Frage diskret über die Reling geworfen wird? Denn leider viel, was über Kreuzfahrten publiziert wird, ist ungefähr so gehaltvoll wie Instant-Milchreis in der Crew-Messe: süßlich, klebrig und ohne nennenswerten Nährwert für den kritischen Geist… Dann allerdings sah ich den Namen auf dem Cover: Christofer Knaak. Damit war das Interesse bei mir doch geweckt. Christofer ist, wie auch Franz Neumeier von Cruisetricks, keiner jener Autoren, die Kreuzfahrt vor allem als Kulisse für Selbstbegeisterung missverstehen. Er kennt die Branche. Er konsumiert sie nicht nur aus der Perspektive des Champagnerglases, sondern betrachtet sie mit journalistischem Handwerkszeug, historischem Bewusstsein und einem Blick für jene Details, die in PR-Texten gern hinter Adjektiven wie „einzigartig“, „exklusiv“ oder „unvergesslich“ versenkt werden. Sein neues Buch „Vorm Bug die Welt“ ist deshalb keine Broschüre im Hardcoverformat, sondern eine angenehm wache, kenntnisreiche und mitunter wunderbar entromantisierende Vermessung der Seereise. Seereise statt Bettenburg mit Schornstein Knaak interessiert sich nicht für die üblichen Rennstrecken des Massenmarkts, auf denen die Branche ihre Kapazitäten durchoptimiert wie ein Logistikunternehmen mit Showbühne. Sein Blick gilt der eigentlichen Seereise: kleineren Einheiten, besonderen Routen, Schiffen mit Charakter und Situationen, in denen das Meer nicht nur Hintergrundbild für Selfies ist, sondern tatsächlich eine Rolle spielt. Drei Stationen seines Buches zeigen sehr schön, worum es ihm geht. Da ist zunächst die Antarktis, bereist auf der *Sea Explorer*. Schon die Drake-Passage, jene berüchtigte Wasserstraße zwischen Südamerika und der Antarktischen Halbinsel, liefert die dramaturgische Fallhöhe gleich mit. Bei der Anreise zeigt sie sich als beinahe zahmer „Drake Lake“, auf der Rückfahrt dann als veritabler „Drake Shake“ mit acht Meter hohen Wellen und der freundlichen Einladung an die Passagiermägen, ihre bisherige Ordnung zu überdenken. Wer danach noch Energie, Mut oder eine leicht problematische Neigung zur Selbstprüfung besitzt, springt wie Knaak bei rund einem Grad Wassertemperatur ins Südpolarmeer. Sein Fazit ist ebenso schlicht wie richtig: Dort unten steht der Pinguin über dem Homo sapiens. Eine Erkenntnis, die man einigen Produktentwicklern der Branche gelegentlich auf die Tischvorlage drucken möchte. Ganz anders, aber nicht weniger aufschlussreich, ist die Passage über den schwedischen Göta Kanal an Bord der *MS Juno*, Baujahr 1874. Hier wird Luxus radikal neu definiert. Die Kabinen messen ungefähr 1,5 mal 2 Meter – ein Format, das heutigen Suite-Kunden vermutlich als begehbarer Kleiderschrank mit historischem Charme verkauft würde. Doch genau in dieser Reduktion liegt der Reiz. Kein schwimmendes Einkaufszentrum, keine Wasserpark-Architektur, keine LED-getränkte Erlebnisüberforderung. Stattdessen: Entschleunigung, Handwerk, Nähe zum Wasser. Um den historischen Rumpf in den engen Schleusen zu schützen, nutzt die Crew keine Plastikfender, sondern Birkenstämme. Manchmal ist Nachhaltigkeit eben keine Powerpoint-Folie, sondern ein Stück Holz. Und dann ist da noch die *Sea Cloud Spirit* vor den Kanaren: 138 Meter Schiff, 28 Segel, von Hand gesetzt. Während die Passagiere mit jener Mischung aus Andacht und leichter Ungläubigkeit nach oben blicken, arbeitet die Crew in schwindelerregender Höhe. Hier wird sichtbar, was in der Kreuzfahrtindustrie zunehmend selten geworden ist: maritimes Können, das nicht vollständig durch Hotelmanagement, Yield-Optimierung und Entertainmentdramaturgie ersetzt wurde. Mit Salzgehalt gegen Seemannskitsch Schon im Vorwort, das Knaak passend „Einschiffung“ nennt, macht er klar, dass er der Romantik nicht unbewaffnet begegnet. Er nimmt sich ein beliebtes Bild vor: die angebliche Nähe des Menschen zum Meer, weil Tränen und Ozean denselben Salzgehalt hätten. Ein hübscher Satz, bestens geeignet für Kalenderblätter, Taufreden und die sentimentalen Absätze in Kreuzfahrt-Katalogen. Nur leider falsch. Meerwasser enthält im Durchschnitt etwa 3,5 Prozent Salz. Eine menschliche Träne kommt auf rund 0,9 Prozent. Die Verbindung zwischen Mensch und Meer liegt also nicht in dieser poetischen Gleichung, sondern tiefer: in den Bausteinen unseres Körpers, in Natrium, Chlorid, Kalium und Calcium. Es ist typisch für dieses Buch, dass Knaak den Zauber nicht zerstört, sondern präzisiert. Er nimmt dem Meer nicht seine Faszination. Er befreit es nur vom schlechten Marketing. Für Touristiker ist genau das interessant. Denn die Branche steht seit Jahren vor der Frage, wie viel Mythos sie braucht – und wie viel Wirklichkeit sie erträgt. Kreuzfahrt lebt von Sehnsuchtsbildern, keine Frage. Aber eine Industrie, die weiter wachsen will, kann sich nicht dauerhaft in Sonnenuntergangslyrik einrichten, während Häfen über Overtourism klagen, Umweltverbände Messwerte vorlegen und die Crew unter Bedingungen arbeitet, die im Gästebereich kaum jemand sehen möchte. Versenker: Umwelt, Overtourism, Flaggenstaaten Der eigentliche Wert von „Vorm Bug die Welt“ liegt darin, dass Knaak genau diese Schattenseiten nicht ausblendet. In Kapiteln wie „Auf grünem Kurs“ und „Crew only“ verlässt er konsequent das Sonnendeck der Behauptungen und steigt hinab in die Maschinenräume der Realität. Cruise-Fachjournalist Christofer Knaak Er schreibt über Umweltaspekte, über die komplizierte Transformation einer Branche, die gern von Zukunft spricht, aber in der Gegenwart noch reichlich schwere Altlasten mitführt. Er thematisiert Overtourism, etwa in Venedig, wo die Kreuzfahrt jahrelang als besonders sichtbares Symbol für die Überforderung fragiler Stadträume stand. Und er blickt auf die ökonomischen und juristischen Konstruktionen hinter den Kulissen: Flaggenstaaten wie Bahamas oder Malta, steuerliche Optimierungen, Arbeitsregime, Verantwortlichkeiten, die sich je nach Bedarf erstaunlich elastisch anfühlen. Dabei verfällt Knaak nicht in pauschale Verdammung. Das ist wichtig. Denn die Kreuzfahrt ist nicht nur ein Problem, sie ist auch ein Produkt mit enormer Nachfrage, hoher Wertschöpfung, großer emotionaler Bindung und beträchtlichem Innovationsdruck. Wer sie verstehen will, muss mehr können als empört winken. Knaak kann das. Er ordnet ein, statt nur zu urteilen. Auch historisch liefert er Substanz. Die Branche beginnt bei ihm nicht mit Wasserrutschen und Spezialitätenrestaurants, sondern unter anderem mit Albert Ballin und der Hapag. Die erste „Lustreise“ der *Augusta Victoria* im Jahr 1891 erscheint dabei nicht als romantischer Geistesblitz, sondern als das, was sie auch war: ein klug kalkuliertes Geschäftsmodell, um Schiffe im Winter nicht ungenutzt herumliegen zu lassen. Kreuzfahrt war von Anfang an Sehnsucht und Auslastungsmanagement. Wer heute Revenue Management betreibt, darf sich also durchaus in einer langen Tradition sehen – wenn auch nicht zwingend in einer edlen. „Passenger Area – Start Smiling!“ Besonders lesenswert ist das Kapitel „Crew only“. Es sollte Pflichtlektüre für alle sein, die glauben, das Lächeln des Stewards sei im Preis der Balkonkabine selbstverständlich enthalten. Knaak beschreibt die Grenze zwischen Gästewelt und Arbeitswelt nicht abstrakt, sondern anhand eines Schildes: „Passenger Area – Start Smiling!“ Mehr muss man über emotionale Dienstleistungsarbeit eigentlich kaum wissen. Hinter dieser Tür beginnt die Performance. Müdigkeit, Heimweh, Rückenschmerzen, schlechte Laune – alles bleibt draußen. Drinnen wartet der Gast, und der hat schließlich Urlaub. Auf der *MS Europa*, so erzählt Knaak, zählen Crewmitglieder die Zeit bis zum Abmustern nicht in Wochen, sondern in Schnitzeltagen. Jeden Sonntag gibt es Schnitzel. Ein Kalender aus Panade. Man kann darüber lächeln, sollte aber nicht übersehen, was dahintersteckt: lange Verträge, wenig Privatsphäre, harte Routinen. Ein Arbeitstag kann bis zu 14 Stunden dauern. Das See-Arbeitsübereinkommen erlaubt monatliche Arbeitszeiten, die an Land vermutlich jeden Betriebsrat in Schnappatmung versetzen würden. Während der Gast über Servicequalität urteilt, stemmt die Crew ein System, das auf perfekter Freundlichkeit bei maximaler Effizienz beruht. Dass Reedereien Teile der Vergütung über Service-Entgelte faktisch an den Kunden delegieren, ist aus Unternehmenssicht elegant. Aus moralischer Perspektive wirkt es eher wie ein Taschenspielertrick mit Bordkarte. Buch als Branchenlektüre „Vorm Bug die Welt“ ist kein Anti-Kreuzfahrt-Buch. Zum Glück. Davon gibt es ebenfalls genug, und viele sind ungefähr so differenziert wie ein Shitstorm mit Seekrankheit. Knaak schreibt aus Sympathie zur Seereise, aber nicht aus Blindheit gegenüber der Industrie. Das macht sein Buch wertvoll – gerade für Profis im Tourismus. Er zeigt, dass eine Reise auf kleineren, charaktervollen Schiffen wie der *Artania*, der *MS Europa* oder historischen und spezialisierten Einheiten etwas anderes sein kann als das standardisierte Dahingleiten auf anonymen Megalinern. Er zeigt aber auch, dass diese Differenz nicht von selbst entsteht. Sie braucht Haltung, Produktintelligenz, gute Routenplanung, faire Arbeitsbedingungen, glaubwürdige Nachhaltigkeit und Gäste, die mehr erwarten dürfen als Quadratmeter, Buffetmeter und Showminuten. Für jemanden wie mich, der die angekündigten Neubauten der kommenden Jahre eher mit hochgezogener Augenbraue als mit Champagnerlaune betrachtet, ist dieses Buch eine wohltuende Erinnerung daran, was Seefahrt sein könnte: Begegnung mit Natur, Technik, Menschen und Geschichte. Nicht bloß ein schwimmendes Konsumversprechen mit Hafenblick. Die Empfehlung lautet daher: kaufen, lesen, Verstand einschalten. Und den PR-Kitsch bitte an der Gangway abgeben.

Most anglers think that the wind simply pushes baitfish around the lake. But whatif the fish aren't just drifting with the current? What if they actually know where the food is going to be?In this fascinating episode of Doc Talks Fishing, Dr. Derrick (Dak) deKerckhove reveals his groundbreaking research from Algonquin Park'slegendary Lake Opeongo that shows how sustained winds createunderwater conveyor belts that concentrate plankton, attract ciscoes andultimately draw hungry lake trout to an all-you-can-eat buffet. The result is aremarkable chain reaction that totally reshapes the entire lake ecosystem.Using cutting-edge telemetry, hydro-acoustics and decades of fisheriesresearch, Dak explains why the windy side of the lake typically becomes apredator hotspot. And why one of the most overlooked forces in nature isone of your most important fish-finding tools. After listening to this episode,you'll never look at wind the same way again.Send us a message

Jetzt heißt es erstmal abspecken und fit werden für den nächsten Auftritt, heute in einer Woche.

The crew kicks off Episode 13 fired up, sleep-deprived, and somehow already arguing before the intro wraps. They draw battle lines on AI and Brendan drops a Mother's Day story of a dinner gone sideways. Vinnie and Billy express their Philly sports rage and a full indictment of New York franchises enters the picture. Somewhere between an argument nobody wins, a holiday that went completely off the rails, and a rant that earns every second of airtime, Episode 13 reminds you why you showed up in the first place.|

Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy light up the Rocky Patel Vintage 2003 Cameroon, a 6.5 x 52 Toro with a Cameroon wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and Nicaraguan/Dominican filler. Tony calls it one of the cigars that helped turn smoking from a curiosity into something he genuinely loved, while Fingers wonders why he doesn’t already have a stack of them in his humidor. They break down the cigar’s cedar, spice, sweetness, construction, and why this classic still belongs in the rotation. The guys also pour Montana’s Running Iron Straight Whiskey, a 100% wheat whiskey connected to Dry Hills Distillery/Montana Distillery, and debate whether its honey, vanilla, cinnamon, oak, orchard fruit, and dry finish justify the $50 price tag. Also on the show: 7-Eleven tries to become Wawa, Vegas loses another buffet, lobster researchers ruin dinner, cruise weddings are a crime against friendship, Anheuser-Busch invests $600 million in America, Tony discovers Fingers has never seen Top Gun, and somehow Porky’s 3 becomes part of the cinematic conversation.

This week on Hey Sis, Eat This, Courtney and Whitney chat with Rachel Holtzman, the woman behind more than sixty co-authored books with names like Deb Perelman of Smitten Kitchen, Eden Grinshpan's Tahini Baby, Alicia Silverstone, Tiffani Thiessen, and Robin Quivers. Rachel shares how her path took her from the glossy Elle magazine world to the kitchen at Gramercy Tavern, blending her love of storytelling and food into a career helping others bring their ideas to life. She explains how she captures each client's authentic voice, creates space for vulnerability, and helps authors tell stories that feel personal and true. And then there is Momma Lois. Rachel learned early on that her love of food might come from childhood buffet trips where she perfected the art of a Caesar salad topped with fried calamari. She also credits her mom for her curiosity and drive. Lois is the kind of woman who once decided to learn how to make lattes at Starbucks just to understand the system, and her favorite piece of advice still guides Rachel today: “You can make your life as easy or as hard as you want to.” Pull up a plate and listen in for stories that'll leave you hungry, inspired, and maybe rethinking your next buffet strategy.

Il y a environ 11 000 ans, dans les montagnes du Zagros, à l'ouest de l'Iran, plusieurs groupes humains ont entrepris un voyage extraordinaire. Ils ont marché pendant des jours, franchissant vallées et cols escarpés, transportant sur leurs épaules un fardeau singulier : des sangliers sauvages fraîchement chassés. Leur destination ? Le site d'Asiab, un petit hameau préhistorique perché dans les hauteurs. Là, au cœur d'un bâtiment circulaire, allait se dérouler un banquet monumental, dont les archéologues viennent tout juste de percer le mystère.Lors de fouilles récentes, les chercheurs ont mis au jour une fosse impressionnante : dix-neuf crânes de sangliers parfaitement alignés, mêlés à des fragments d'ours brun et de cerf. Les os étaient soigneusement disposés, puis scellés dans une structure en pierre. Ce n'était pas un simple dépotoir, mais le témoignage d'un événement d'une ampleur inédite pour des chasseurs-cueilleurs du Néolithique.Les traces de découpe sur les crânes laissaient deviner que ces animaux avaient été consommés. Mais d'où venaient-ils ? Pour le savoir, une équipe dirigée par la chercheuse Petra Vaiglova a analysé les isotopes présents dans l'émail des dents des sangliers. Ces signatures chimiques permettent de retracer la géographie de vie des animaux. Les résultats ont stupéfié les scientifiques : quatre des cinq sangliers étudiés n'avaient pas été chassés sur place, mais à plus de 70 kilomètres du site. Autrement dit, des groupes venus de régions lointaines ont convergé vers Asiab, chacun apportant sa part de gibier pour un gigantesque repas collectif.Ce festin n'était pas seulement un moment de partage, mais un événement social et symbolique. Le sanglier, animal farouche et redouté, occupait déjà une place importante dans l'imaginaire des peuples néolithiques. Le chasser et le transporter sur de telles distances constituait un acte prestigieux, une offrande. Les 700 kilos de viande rassemblés auraient pu nourrir jusqu'à 1 200 personnes — bien plus que la population locale — preuve qu'il s'agissait d'un rassemblement interrégional.À travers cet incroyable effort collectif, les chercheurs voient la trace d'une humanité en train de se transformer. Ces communautés, encore nomades, savaient déjà organiser de vastes rencontres, sceller des alliances, partager un repas autour d'un symbole commun. Bien avant l'invention de l'agriculture ou de l'écriture, elles tissaient déjà leurs premiers liens culturels à travers un langage universel : celui de la table et du festin. Hébergé par Acast.

Episode 3202: Planning a memorable wedding on a modest budget is possible, and Jen Hayes shares practical strategies to make it happen. From choosing buffets or lunch receptions to skipping costly champagne pours and considering limited host bars, these tips can help you cut thousands from your food and alcohol costs while still hosting a celebration your guests will enjoy. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.jenhayes.me//frugal-wedding-7-ways-save-food-alcohol/ Quotes to ponder: "Buffets are typically less expensive, and they allow guests to take as much food (or as little) as they would like." "When we realized a champagne pour was not included in our wedding package and would've been an additional $700 (at least), we decided to skip it." "You can host the bar for a certain amount of time (for example, for the first hour or two of the reception) or up to a certain dollar amount." Learn more about your ad choices.
