Un miembro del canal me dijo: “Tanto hablar de Saab y se os olvida Volvo” ¡Y tenía toda la razón! Si a una persona, aficionada o no, le pronuncias “Volvo”, piensan en Suecia, en seguridad y, probablemente, en un coche familiar cuadrado y robusto. Esta es la historia de una marca que convirtió la seguridad en su religión pero también fabricó coupés deportivos y que acabó teniendo los ojos rasgados… ¿se puede hablar de “final feliz”? La historia de muchas marcas comienza en un taller de coches, pero la de Volvo no. En Gotemburgo, Suecia, esta erradicada la empresa SKF era uno de los mayores fabricantes del mundo de rodamientos. Y dos de sus empleados, el economista Assar Gabrielsson y el ingeniero Gustaf Larson, compartían una pasión: los automóviles. La leyenda cuenta que sellaron su acuerdo en una cena en agosto de 1924, en el restaurante Sturehof de Estocolmo, comiendo cigalas. El 14 de abril de 1927, el primer Volvo salió de la fábrica. Era el ÖV 4, apodado "Jakob", un descapotable con un motor de 4 cilindros y 28 CV. Como en toda buena historia, el debut tuvo un problemilla. Hablar de Volvo es hablar de seguridad con propuestas concretos. Otras marcas en los años 40 y 50 se centraban en la potencia las prestaciones, pero Volvo ya pensaba en cómo sobrevivir a un accidente. En 1944, su modelo PV444 ya introdujo una jaula de seguridad y el parabrisas de vidrio laminado. En los 50, experimentaron con salpicaderos acolchados. Pero el momento que cambió todo el mundo del automóvil, llegó en 1959. Volvo contrató al ingeniero Nils Bohlin, que antes había diseñado asientos eyectables para aviones de combate en Saab. Sabía cómo mantener a un humano atado y a salvo. En menos de un año, Bohlin desarrolló y patentó el cinturón de seguridad de tres puntos de anclaje. Y aquí es donde Volvo hizo algo impensable. Tenían la patente de uno de los mayores inventos en la historia del automóvil. Podrían haber intentados cubrirse de oro, pero no, la liberaron. Dejaron que cualquier fabricante del mundo la usara, gratis. Entendieron que era un avance demasiado importante para la vida humana como para guardárselo. ¿Y las carreras? En los 80, Volvo cogió su sedán 240, con la aerodinámica de una nevera, le metió un turbo descomunal y lo apodó "El Ladrillo Volador". Ganó el Campeonato Europeo de Turismos en 1985, humillando a BMW y Jaguar. Pero la locura definitiva llegó en 1994, en el Campeonato Británico de Turismos. A finales del siglo XX, los fabricantes independientes como Volvo lo tenían difícil. Tras un intento de fusión fallido con Renault, Volvo acabó buscando un socio más grande. En 1999, Ford compró la división de coches de Volvo por 6.450 millones de dólares. Volvo pasó a formar parte del Premier Automotive Group de Ford, junto a Jaguar, Land Rover y Aston Martin… Desde donde nadie lo esperaba, llegó una oferta. Venía de China. De un fabricante relativamente desconocido llamado Geely. El pánico se apoderó de Suecia. ¿Una empresa china comprando el símbolo de la ingeniería sueca? Muchos vaticinaron el fin de Volvo, como ya había sucedido con Saab, pensando que robarían su tecnología y la calidad caería en picado. Pero el fundador de Geely, Li Shufu, era un admirador profundo de Volvo. En 2010, la venta se completó por 1.800 millones de dólares. Y Li Shufu cumplió su palabra. Geely hizo lo más inteligente que podía hacer: puso una cantidad ingente de dinero sobre la mesa y se apartó. Le dieron a Volvo la financiación y la independencia casi total para investigar y desarrollar. Liberaron al tigre. El resultado fue el renacimiento de Volvo. Con la inversión china, los ingenieros suecos desarrollaron desde cero dos nuevas plataformas modulares, SPA y CMA. Contrataron a un nuevo jefe de diseño, Thomas Ingenlath, que revolucionó la estética de la marca con señas de identidad como los faros en forma de "Martillo de Thor". El primer fruto de esta nueva era, el XC90 de 2015, fue una declaración de intenciones: lujoso, tecnológico, minimalista y, por supuesto, el coche más seguro del mundo. Fue un éxito rotundo y marcó el camino para una gama que ha devuelto a Volvo a lo más alto del segmento premium, reforzando su identidad sueca y apostando ahora por la electrificación total con su submarca Polestar.

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail, PSAC, and the Ontario Real Estate Association.Greetings, you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites! A topic today we've been exploring from a few different angles these last few months: can Canada build (baby build) housing anymore?We convened a panel on it back in the early summer to talk policy and what's happening in the real world – Meredith, Moffat and Butler. We had the Conservative housing critic on the pod, Scott Aitchison, who gave us his take on what needs to be done.Today, we get the government's view of things with the Honourable Gregor Robertson, Canada's Minister of Housing and Infrastructure.Mr. Robertson has a long and impressive CV, so please pardon my drastic précis here: He served as the Mayor of Vancouver for a decade, 2008 to 2018, where his focus was on transit and cycling infrastructure ... introducing modular housing to support unhoused residents ... leading on co-ops and supportive housing ... and starting the country's first successful empty homes tax. Prior to that, he was a Member of the B.C. Legislature for 3 years, 2005-2008. As well as the Co-Founder and CEO of “Happy Planet” Organic Foods.So, we're going to talk about this new government agency “Build Canada Homes” and how it plans to “supercharge housing construction across Canada”. How will the programs work? What's the timeline for success in a crisis?  And we'll get Mr. Robertson's view on why he thinks government is the solution to this problem when most people think government IS the problem.Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

When you're exploring nonclinical jobs, one of the very first hurdles is often the recruiter screening call. Many physicians assume this will just be a quick, casual chat but in reality, it can make or break whether you move forward in the process. In this episode, I'll walk you through how to prepare for this important conversation as if I were coaching you one-on-one. You'll learn what recruiters are really looking for, how to connect your story to their needs, and the simple but powerful ways you can build a bridge that sets you apart as a strong candidate. This isn't about rattling off your CV or giving “perfect” answers. It's about understanding the recruiter's perspective, showing authentic interest, and coming across as both capable and collaborative. By the end, you'll feel much more confident heading into that first call and know how to approach it with professionalism and ease. In this episode we're talking about: The “three-legged stool” recruiters use to assess candidates How to build a bridge between your story and the company's mission Tips for answering the classic “Tell me about yourself” opener The most common questions you'll hear—and how to be ready for them How to handle the dreaded salary question with calm confidence Thoughtful questions you can ask to stand out Why a warm, timely follow-up email makes such a difference Links for this episode:

This week on Life in Private Staffing we're joined by Veronica Lajud, an international childcare specialist based in Miami and founder of the Stellar Insight Method.With a background in Montessori education and over a decade working inside UHNW households, Veronica has built a unique approach that goes far beyond traditional nannying. She now mentors nannies, supports families worldwide, and creates tailored routines designed to unlock each child's full potential.Together we explore how childcare in UHNW homes differs from the traditional world, why empowering household staff is just as crucial as supporting the children themselves, and how one nanny's role can completely change the course of a family's future.

À Madagascar, les manifestants ont fait une nouvelle démonstration de force hier, notamment dans la capitale. Beaucoup continuent de réclamer le départ du président Rajoelina, malgré la décision de celui-ci de dissoudre son gouvernement. Quels sont les atouts politiques que le chef de l'État malgache conserve dans sa main ? Et quel rôle peut jouer l'armée dans ce moment de forte tension, qui a déjà provoqué la mort de 22 personnes selon l'ONU ? Il y a quelques années, chez Karthala, l'économiste et politologue Olivier Vallée a publié La société militaire à Madagascar. RFI : Beaucoup de manifestants réclament le départ du président Rajoelina, mais celui-ci a eu la souplesse de limoger son gouvernement et de faire un début de repentir. Est-ce que cela peut satisfaire une partie de la rue ? Olivier Vallée : Je ne crois pas, parce que ses réactions étaient quand même très lentes. Le limogeage du gouvernement est apparu quand même improvisé, dans la mesure où il demandait à ce qu'on lui envoie des CV pour constituer un nouveau gouvernement. Donc ça parait vraiment un peu comme une comédie un peu grotesque à la plupart des manifestants, et aussi à l'ensemble des observateurs politiques, y compris dans son camp. Avec le limogeage du gouvernement, le président Rajoelina se sépare du Premier ministre Christian Ntsay qui était en poste depuis sept ans et qui paraissait indéboulonnable. Est-ce que ce n'est pas une grosse perte pour lui ? Ce n'est pas une grosse perte dans l'immédiat, parce qu'il remplit pour la première fois son rôle de fusible. Mais par contre, c'est un poids lourd du système politique et ça va laisser effectivement dès maintenant le président en tête-à-tête avec les manifestants et avec les politiques, un tête-à-tête dans lequel il ne sera pas du tout à l'aise. Il a tendance plutôt à s'emporter, alors que son Premier ministre est certainement quelqu'un qui prépare ses coups sur la longueur. Les manifestants réclament aussi la mise à l'écart de l'homme d'affaires Mamy Ravatomanga. Mais vu que c'est un homme de l'ombre, comment le président Rajoelina pourrait-il mettre en scène sa disgrâce ? Je pense qu'il y a énormément de moyens et Mamy Ravatomanga, sa maison et certains de ses établissements ont été attaqués, mais il bénéficie d'une milice qui est presque aussi puissante que la police de Tananarive. Donc sa milice est responsable d'un certain nombre de morts. Et il faudrait que le président mette en cause justement cette milice et l'Académie de sécurité, dirigée par un Français, que Mamy Ravatomanga a créée et qui lui permet justement d'entretenir ces milices de sécurité privées. Il y a énormément de moyens d'ordre public de s'en prendre à son protecteur et bienfaiteur, sans mettre sur la place publique leurs relations financières qui datent de très longtemps. C'est un financeur de campagnes électorales, etc. Mais là, il s'est illustré pendant les manifestations par la brutalité de sa milice. À lire aussiMadagascar: des milliers de manifestants défilent et appellent à la démission de Rajoelina En 2009, quand le président Rajoelina a été porté au pouvoir par la rue, l'armée a joué un rôle clé en sa faveur. Quelle peut être la stratégie des militaires aujourd'hui ? Ce que l'on voit, c'est que l'armée qui est, comme je l'ai écrit dans mon livre, une agglomération de différentes tendances, de différentes unités… Andry Rajoelina n'avait été soutenu, lors de son coup d'Etat de 2009, que par une partie, une toute petite partie de l'armée qui se trouvait à Tananarive. Les autres unités ont rallié le coup d'Etat sans y participer vraiment. Donc aujourd'hui, ce à quoi on a assisté, c'est quand même une certaine passivité. L'armée a accueilli le président de la République quand il est revenu sur la base aérienne d'Ivato. À son retour de New York ? Oui, tout à fait. Et l'a transféré en hélicoptère dans son palais forteresse qu'avait créé Didier Ratsiraka, qui se trouve à peu près à une quinzaine de kilomètres du centre-ville. Mais ses bons offices en sont restés là. Le président a lui-même sa milice. Et les forces qui se sont déployées dans la capitale, ce sont essentiellement celles de la gendarmerie, qui continue à obéir et être sous l'influence d'un homme lige de Ange Rajoelina, qui s'appelle le général Ravalomanana, qui est à la fois au Sénat et l'animateur souterrain de la gendarmerie. Celle-ci joue la stratégie de la force. Ses hommes ont tiré. On a énormément de vidéos. Mais le reste de l'armée ne s'est pas engagée. Quant à la police, elle a été complètement passive pendant les pillages. Donc pour l'instant, l'armée est attentiste, c'est ça ? Oui, l'armée est attentiste. Donc c'est un moment difficile parce qu'il y a vraiment un mouvement de masse qu'on n'a pas toujours vu. En 2009, ce n'était pas un mouvement de masse, donc l'armée a laissé faire et ensuite a repris la main. Là, elle laisse faire, mais elle n'est pas sûre de reprendre la main et elle sait que, si elle se compromet, ça lui coûtera plus cher qu'en 2009.

O czym marzy dziewczyna, gdy dorastać zaczyna? Ważniejsze jest pytanie o czym marzy polityk, któremu w polityce się nie udało? Się nie rymuje, ale problem pozostaje. W takiej samej sytuacji jest polityk jak skończył być na przykład prezydentem. Otacza go pustka, nuda, z nudów umyje po sobie szklankę, kopnie w odkurzacz, owinie się w firankę i tak postoi. Pojawił się informacja Szymon Hołownia chce odejść z polskiej polityki. Postanowił aplikować i wysłał swoje CV na stanowisko wysokiego komisarza ONZ do spraw uchodźców. To jest właśnie to marzenie nieudanych polityków: ciepła posadka, najlepiej w międzynarodowej organizacji, gdzie się nie narobisz, a przytulisz rzetelny grosz w dolarach. Ale jak się nie uda, to może jakieś inne, mniej eksponowane stanowisko w ONZ.

Is chronic pain really “in the body”… or in the brain's predictions about the body?Today on the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Jorge Esteves, PhD, DO—an osteopath, educator, and researcher whose work reframes low back pain, sciatica, and other MSK issues through the lens of predictive processing, active inference, and interoception. Dr. Esteves explains why pain is more than a physical signal: it's shaped by mood, memory, context, and environment—and how the right mix of smart touch, simple movement, precise language, and meaning can rewrite faulty predictions and dial down threat in the nervous system.We explore what he calls “smart touch”—the affective, well-timed, well-paced contact that improves therapeutic alliance, entrains breath and rhythm, and helps the brain feel safe enough to update its story about the spine. We also unpack fresh imaging work suggesting hands-on care can influence connectivity in pain and interoceptive hubs, including the insula—right where body-signal meaning is made. You'll leave with a 5-minute daily recalibration (breath cue + one gentle movement + one self-touch drill) to keep predictions aligned with reality—especially during a flare.What You'll LearnPain ≠ damage: Why back pain often persists due to over-protective predictions and how to nudge them toward safety.Smart touch, real change: How affective touch, pacing, and breath cues shift interoceptive processing and calm threat.Therapeutic alliance matters: The first 10 minutes that build trust—and the phrases clinicians should avoid because they raise threat.Brains on hands-on care: New imaging insights on how manual therapy may modulate brain connectivity in chronic low back pain.Learn More / Contact Dr. EstevesOfficial site: Prof Jorge EstevesGoogle Scholar (Atlântica University, Portugal): Google ScholarResearchGate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Jorge-Esteves-3 ResearchGate(En)active Inference paper (open-access): FrontiersEmail (from CV): osteojorge@gmail.com Pro OsteoLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-jorge-esteves-27371522/ Pro OsteoTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/JEsteves_osteo Pro OsteoWe are two sports chiropractors, seeking knowledge from some of the best resources in the world of health.

AFFEN&Co 639 avec Philippe PETITQUEUX, Secrétaire général de l'association Reconnaître Les Open Badges sont passés d'« objet virtuel non identifié » (OVNI) à un outil suscitant un intérêt majeur chez les responsables de formation professionnelle et les entreprises. L'association Reconnaître (loi 1901), cofondée en 2018 par Serge Ravet (président) et Philippe Petitu (secrétaire général), a été créée pour fédérer les initiatives régionales (comme Badjon la Normandie, lancée en 2016) et accompagner le développement de ces artefacts numériques. Reconnaître est ouverte à tous, proposant des adhésions modestes (10 € pour les individuels, 100 € pour les organisations), donnant accès à des ressources, des méthodes, le partage de badges et la mise en relation avec des experts La Philosophie de la Reconnaissance Ouverte Reconnaître promeut la philosophie de la reconnaissance ouverte. L'objectif fondamental est de briser le monopole des institutions sur la reconnaissance et d'impliquer les individus et les collectifs dans leur propre valorisation. Les systèmes traditionnels de diplômes et la VAE (Validation des Acquis de l'Expérience) sont jugés insuffisants pour refléter la diversité et la rapidité de l'expérience développée grâce au numérique Un Open Badge est un support numérique transparent et léger (low-tech) qui rend visible une reconnaissance, qu'elle soit formelle, non formelle ou informelle. Sa valeur initiale est proche de zéro mais elle est construite et dépend du contexte, notamment grâce aux « endossements » (recommandations) de pairs ou de tuteurs. Les badges sont riches en métadonnées (émetteur, critères, preuves, géolocalisation), facilitant la création d'un CV dynamique (CV 3.0) Usages Stratégiques et Écosystèmes L'association cible activement le tissu économique. En entreprise, les usages majeurs incluent l'attestation de suivi de formations qualifiantes, la valorisation des rôles (facilitateur, ambassadeur), et surtout l'identification des compétences transversales humaines (soft skills). Il est essentiel d'aborder la mise en œuvre des badges par la question de la reconnaissance existante au sein de l'organisation pour éviter les frictions, notamment avec le dialogue social La construction d'un écosystème de reconnaissance est primordiale. Bien que l'Europe encadre les « microcertifications », Reconnaître met en garde contre le fait de réduire les badges à de simples petits diplômes, réaffirmant leur vocation à créer des écosystèmes privés et une valeur locale au sein d'une filière ou d'un territoire Reconnaître organise deux événements majeurs : le Forum francophone des Open Badge (centré sur la pratique et les ateliers) et la conférence internationale ÉPIC (axée sur la politique et les échanges internationaux).

TALENT POOLING: LESSONS FROM TA COMMUNITY BUILDERS   We all know that it easier to get engagement from people who already know you or your brand. Have a think about how you respond to known contacts in WhatsApp vs unknown callers on your phone! As we move toward a world where AI generated communication will come to dominate, we can anticipate that the establishment of trust relationships with your target audience is going to be key in effective hiring.   Lets deep dive:   - What is talent pooling, how is this different from 'collecting CV's - What needs to be done in order to 'acquire' someone into a talent pool? - How do you convert a database into a community? - What are the policies of exclusion in this community? - How do we balance this with an inclusive ethos? - How to police bad behaviour? - How formal should be safe spaces? - What is the best tech platform to use to organise communities? - If we are planning to hire from this community, do we remove people who then get a job? - What professions are most suited for community building? - What circumstances make most sense when putting together a talent pooling plan? - Do we need a specialist function to do this? - What can AI do to help build community - or is this antithetical to how things are done?   All this and more, with Willem Wijnans, Community Lead (Ashby), Marie Chaponiere, Founder (Behind the Mask), Vanessa Raath, Founder (Talent Hunter) & Mahmoud Aly, Community Lead (Egypt Recruiting Community) & Lars Schmidt, Head of Talent (Fruitist)   We are on Friday 26th Sep, 2pm BST - follow the channel here (recommended) and save your spot for this demo by clicking on the green button.     Ep333 is sponsored by our friends Ashby   Ashby just raised $50M in Series D funding, and they're going all in on what modern recruiting teams actually need.   So, what's next?   AI is moving from novelty to necessity. Most tools talk about AI, Ashby makes it work. Their all-in-one platform gives AI real structure so recruiters get time back with AI note-taking, feedback summaries, and personalized outreach emails. In fact, 57% of Ashby's customer base is now using AI within the platform, up from 23% at the start of 2024.   Quality of Hire is finally getting real. More teams are rolling out Quality of Hire programs with Ashby than ever before. What used to be a slide in a quarterly review is now a real strategy, with surveys and reporting built in. It's clearer, faster, and easier to connect to business outcomes.   Community is the new operating system. Ashby already made a big splash with Ashby One, their first customer conference that brought hundreds of talent leaders and RecOps professionals together for a week of sessions, panels, dinners, and live events. With this new funding, they're doubling down on the community by expanding ACE (Ashby Customer Expert) chapters, scaling education programs, and giving local leaders more ways to connect, share learnings, and build lasting networks.   … and the word is out. Enterprise teams like Shopify and Snowflake are already in. With 123% growth and fresh funding to fuel what's next, Ashby is just getting started.   Bottom line: Ashby is not just building software. They are building the infrastructure for modern recruiting.   See the full announcement.   Not on Ashby yet? Get a demo today.

In this episode of Skip the Queue, host Paul Marden speaks with Andy Hadden, founder of the Lost Shore Surf Resort in Scotland. Andy shares the remarkable journey from his sporting background and early property career to discovering wave technology in the Basque Country, which inspired him to bring inland surfing to Scotland. Despite starting with no money and no land, Andy raised over £100 million and built one of the world's most advanced inland surf destinations. He explains how Lost Shore Surf Resort combines world-class waves with a strong community focus, sustainability initiatives, and partnerships with schools and universities to deliver real social and economic impact.Skip the Queue is brought to you by Rubber Cheese, a digital agency that builds remarkable systems and websites for attractions that helps them increase their visitor numbers.

Opened in November 2024 near Edinburgh, Lost Shore is the country's largest sports infrastructure project since the Commonwealth Games and now attracts a truly international audience of surfers, families, and brands. With a background in insolvency and investment surveying, Andy led the venture from concept to completion - securing major institutional backing and building a multidisciplinary team to deliver a world-class destination. Long before 'ESG' was a buzzword, he embedded environmental and social value into Lost Shore's DNA, helping set new benchmarks for responsible development. As home to the Surf Lab with Edinburgh Napier University, Lost Shore also serves as a global hub for performance, product R&D, and surf therapy. Live from the show floor, we'll also be joined by:Bakit Baydaliev, CEO/ Cofounder of DOF Roboticshttps://dofrobotics.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/bakitbaydaliev/Hamza Saber, Expert Engineer at TÜV SÜDhttps://www.tuvsud.com/enhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hamzasaber/David Jungmann, Director of Business Development at Accessohttps://www.accesso.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidjungmann/Kristof Van Hove, Tomorrowlandhttps://www.tomorrowland.com/home/https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristof-van-hove-2ba3b953/ Transcriptions:  Paul Marden: Welcome to Skip the Queue, the podcast about attractions and the amazing people who work with them. I'm your host, Paul Marden, and with my co-host Andy Povey and roving reporter Claire Furnival, we're coming to you from IAAPA Expo Europe. This is the first of three episodes from the show floor that will come to you over the next three days. Firstly, I'm joined today by Andy Hadden, the founder of Lost Shores Surf Resort.Paul Marden: Andy, tell us a little bit about your journey. You've opened this amazing attraction up there in Scotland where I was on holiday a couple of weeks ago. Tell us a little bit about that attraction. Why this and why in Scotland?Andy Hadden: Well, I grew up locally and I came from more of a sporting family than so much of a business family. My father was the international rugby coach for a while and I played a lot of sport. Paul Marden: Oh, really? Andy Hadden: Yeah, yeah. So we always had this thing about there wasn't enough facilities here in Scotland because Scotland is a place which doesn't necessarily have all the resources and the access to funds and everything else like that. But one thing we noted with, you know, if you created facilities, whether they be good tennis facilities, good 4G football pitches, whatever it was. It allowed the environment around it to prosper, the communities around it to prosper. And, of course, I was a charter surveyor by trade, so I worked in insolvency and then in investment. So I sold two sites to that market. Andy Hadden: But I always surfed. I always surfed. So whilst I was down in Birmingham in England, when I actually got an email in 2012 talking about some, you know, some surfy thing that might have been happening in Bristol, I called the head of destination consulting up and I said, 'this sounds like nonsense, to be honest', because I surf and you can't really be talking about real surfing waves here. It's got to be something, you know, different. He said, 'No, no, there's these guys in the Basque country.' So I took a flight over there and that day changed everything for me. Paul Marden: So what was it that you saw? Andy Hadden: I went to see what was back then a secret test facility in the mountains of the Basque Country. It was very cloak and dagger. I had to follow the guide and give me the email address. I found this all very exciting. When I went and actually saw this facility, I realised that for the decade before that, there'd been all these amazing minds, engineers and surfers working on what they believed could be, you know, a big future of not just the inland surfing movement that's now burgeoning into a multi-billion dollar global movement, but it could really affect surfing. And if it was going to affect surfing as a sport, and it's now an Olympic sport because of these facilities, they wanted to make sure that it was a very accessible piece of kit. So surfing, it could affect surfing if ran by the right people in the right ways and really communicate that stoke of the sport to the masses.Paul Marden: So what is it that you've built in Edinburgh then? Tell me a little bit about it.Andy Hadden: So we've delivered a wave garden cove, which is a 52-module wave garden, which is about the size of three football pitches, and it can run hundreds of waves an hour, touch of a button and it can run in skiing parlance anything from green runs right through to sort of black powder runs. And the beauty of it is you can have people that are the better surfers out the back and just like at the beach at the front you've got their kids and learning how to surf on the white water. So we're finding it to be a really amazing experience— not just for surfers who are obviously flocking to us, but already here in Scotland, eight months in, tens of thousands of new surfers are all coming back and just going, 'Wow, we've got this thing on our doorstep.' This is blowing our minds, you know. Paul Marden: Wowzers, wowzers. Look, I'm guessing that the infrastructure and the technology that you need to be able to create this kind of inland wave centre is key to what you're doing. That you've got to access some funds, I guess, to be able to do this. This is not a cheap thing for you to be able to put together, surely.Andy Hadden: Yeah, correct. I mean, you know, I have questioned my own sanity at times. But when I started 10 years ago, I had no money and no land. But I did have some property expertise and I wanted to do it in Edinburgh, a close-up place that I cared about. So we have excellent networks. For a few years, you know. Whilst we've ended up raising over  £100 million in structured finance from a standing start, it took me a couple of years just to raise £40,000. And then I used that to do some quite bizarre things like flying everyone that I cared about, you know, whether they were from the surf community or... Community stakeholders, politicians, and everyone over to the test facility to see themselves— what I could see to sort of—well, is it? Am I just getting carried away here? Or is there something in this? And then, on top of that, you know, we sponsored the world's first PhD in surf therapy with that first $5,000. So now we have a doctor in surf therapy who now takes me around the world to California and all these places. How does business actually really genuinely care about, you know, giving back? And I'm like, yeah, because we said we're going to do this once.Andy Hadden: We got to do it right. And it took us a decade. But yeah, we raised the money and we're very happy to be open.Paul Marden: So I mentioned a minute ago, I was holidaying in Scotland. I bookended Edinburgh— both sides of the holiday. And then I was in Sky for a few days as well. There's something about Edinburgh at the moment. There is a real energy. Coming up as a tourist, there was way too much for me to be able to do. It seems to be a real destination at the moment for people.Andy Hadden: Yeah, well, I think, coming from the background I came from, if I knew I was going to deliver a surfing park in the edge of Edinburgh, I then wanted to do it in the least risky way possible. So to do that, I felt land ownership was key and three business plans was also very key. Edinburgh's in need of accommodation regardless, and Edinburgh's also in need of good places, a good F&B for friends and family just to go and hang out on the weekends. And then, of course, you have the surfing, and we've got a big wellness aspect too. We also sit next to Europe's largest indoor climbing arena. And we're obviously very well connected in the centre of Scotland to both Edinburgh and Scotland. So, so many things to do. So, yeah, I mean, the Scottish tourism landscape has always been good, but it's just getting better and better as we see this as a future-proof marketplace up here. You know, we're not building ships anymore.Andy Hadden: Well, in fact, we got a contract the other week to build one, so maybe that's wrong. But the point is, we see it as a very future-proof place because the Americans are flagging, the Europeans are flagging, and they just want to feel like they're part of something very Scottish. And that's what we've tried to do in our own special way.Paul Marden: And when you think of coming to Scotland, of course, you think about surfing, don't you? Andy Hadden: Yes, who knows. Paul Marden: Exactly, exactly. Look, you had some recent high-profile support from Jason Connery, the son of the late James Bond actor Sean Connery. How did that come about?Andy Hadden: Well, I think we've got, there's a real Scottish spirit of entrepreneurialism that goes back, you know, probably right the way through to the Enlightenment where, you know, I'm sure. I'm sure a lot of you know how many inventions came from Scotland. And this is, you know, televisions, telephones, penicillin. I mean, just the list goes on.Andy Hadden: Of course, you know, that was a long, long time ago, but we still feel a lot of pride in that. But there seems to be a lot of people who've had success in our country, like someone like Sir Sean Connery. These guys are still very proud of that. So when they see something— very entrepreneurial— where we're using a lot of local businesses to create something bigger than the sum of its parts. And to do it truly— not just to be a profitable private business, which is what it is, but to give back 18 million into local economy every year, to work with schools in terms of getting into curriculums. We've got Surf Lab. We work with universities, charities, and so on. They really want to support this stuff. So we have over 50 shareholders, and they've each invested probably for slightly different reasons. They all have to know that their money is a good bet, but I think they all want to feel like they're part of creating a recipe. For a surf resort, which we believe there'll be hundreds of around the world in the next few years. And we can create that recipe here in Scotland. That's hopefully another example of Scottish innovation and entrepreneurialism.Paul Marden: So you've got the test bed that happened in the Basque Country. You've got Scotland now. Are there surf resorts like this elsewhere in the world?Andy Hadden: Yeah, there are eight other open in the world. There's actually, there's various technologies. So there's about 25 different surf parks open at the moment. But there's... doesn't under construction. Pharrell Williams has just opened one in Virginia Beach a few weeks ago there in America. And what the equity, I think, is looking at quite rightly, the big equity, you know, the type that go right, if this really is a, you know, kind of top golfing steroids in that property developers can look at them as.Andy Hadden: You know, excellent ways to get through their more standardised property place, residential, office, industrial. Usually they have to do that in a kind of loss-leading way. But if you look at this as a leisure attraction, which councils and cities actually want because of the benefits, and it makes you money, and it increases the prices of your residential around it. I think developers are starting to realise there's a sweet spot there. So the equity, the big equity, I think, is about to drop in this market over the next couple of years. And it's just waiting for the data set to enable them to do that.Paul Marden: Wow. I guess there's an environmental impact to the work that you do, trying to create any big... a big project like this is going to have some sort of environmental impact. You've put in place an environmental sustainability strategy before it was mainstream as it is now. Tell us some of the things that you've put in place to try to address that environmental impact of what you're doing.Andy Hadden: Well, we're in a disused quarry. So it was a brownfield site. So already just by building on it and creating an immunity, we're also adding to the biodiversity of that site. And we're obviously there's no escaping the fact that we're a user of energy. There's just no escaping that. So the reality is we've got as much sustainable energy use as we can from air source heat pumps to solar. And we're looking at a solar project. So it becomes completely self-sustaining. But we also, the electricity we do access from the grid is through a green tariff. But you'll see a lot of the resorts around the world, this is going to become the sort of, the main play is to become sort of sustainable in that sense. Where we really fly is with the S and ESG. And like you say, the reason we were the world's first institutionally backed wave park, of course, we like to think it was purely down to our financials. But the reality is, they started saying, 'Wow, you're as authentic an ESG company as we've come across.'Andy Hadden: And it's the same with our mission-based national bank. So, because we didn't really know what that meant, we just knew it was the right thing to do. So we fit squarely into that ESG category, which I know is a tick box for a lot of funds, let's face it. There's a lot of them that really want to do that. There's a lot of investors out there that want to do it. But let's understand our place in the system, which is we're really market leading in that area. And I think that's very attractive for a lot of funds out there. But the S in ESG is where we really fly with all the work we're doing socially around the site.Paul Marden: So talk to me a little bit about that. How are you addressing that kind of the social responsibility piece?Andy Hadden: Well, two examples would be we're not just looking at schools to come here to surf. That's an obvious one. They'll go to any attraction to surf if you could go to Laser Quest, go up to visit the castle, do whatever. But we reverse engineered it. We got schools coordinated to go around the headmasters and the schools and say, 'Well, Look, you're all teaching STEM, science, technology, engineering, maths, for 9 to 13-year-olds. And you're all looking for outdoor learning now, which is definitely a big part of the future in education in general. Can you allow us to create some modules here? So we've got six modules that actually fit into that STEM strategy. For instance, last week, there was a school in learning physics, but they were using surf wax on a surfboard friction.Paul Marden: Amazing.Andy Hadden: So these kids so it works for schools and headmasters which is very important and for parents and it obviously works for the kids and they love it and the reason we do that and we give that it's all at discounted low times and everything is because it's a numbers game they come back at the weekend and so on so that's example one and another would be we've created a surf lab with Napier University, a higher education. So we sponsored the world's first doctor. It got a PhD in surf therapy, but then the university was like, 'hold on a minute, you know, this is good marketing for us as well'.Andy Hadden: This surf lab, which has the infrastructure to host great competitions, but also PhD students can come down and learn engineering. They can learn sustainable energy. So we've got more PhD students working there. And this higher university collaboration has not only led to Alder kids coming down but other universities in the area are now what can we do with lost shore now that's cool and fun so we're working with the other universities in town too so that's a couple of examples alongside the standard, employing local people and actually having the economics of putting money into the local economy.Paul Marden: It's interesting, isn't it? Because... So for many people, ESG, and especially the social responsibility piece, feels a little bit worthy. It feels an altruistic move for the organisation to go and do those things. But you've hit on the quid pro quo what do you get back for doing all of this stuff well you're bringing in these kids you're enriching their learning, you're helping them to learn valuable skills but you're also giving them a taster of what life is like at the the resort and seeing the benefit of the return visits that flow from that is crazy.Andy Hadden: You know, I like to think we've fought as hard as anyone to ingrain this stuff in your DNA because we're year one. And of course, we have our cash flow difficulties like everyone does. You know, you don't know how to... run the place for the first three months or that's what it feels like even though you've done all this preparation and so on and so forth but at no point does anyone turn around and go let's get rid of the schools program let's get rid of the university partnership and that's why i think it's very important to build it into your dna because it doesn't have to be this zero-sum game that people attribute you know or we're giving here so that means we have to take over here it's like there's cute ways to do everything you can do the right thing but also drive traffic for your business and it's very good right. It's good reputation, because the people that stay there, when they see that we're doing this stuff, they feel like they're part of it, and then they want to book again. So I believe it doesn't have to be a zero-sum game, but it is a different way of creating a business— that's for sure.Paul Marden: For sure. So there's going to be a listener out there, I'm sure, with a crazy idea like you had a few years ago. What advice would you give for somebody just starting out thinking of opening a business in the leisure and attraction sector?Andy Hadden: I would just try your best to make it as simple as possible. I think it was Yves Chouinard, the founder of Patagonia, who said, 'One of the hardest things in life is to make it simple. It's so easy to make it complex.' And when you're dealing with a business plan, it's very exciting, right? Well, what if we get into this market? What if we do this? And splitting it all into those components. I think arm yourself with very good people around you. They don't even have to be part of the company. If you've been a good person in your life, I'm sure you've got friends who you can tap into. Everyone knows an architect. Everyone knows an accountant. Everyone knows a lawyer. You're a friend of a friend. Andy Hadden: And I think just overload yourself with as much information to get you to the point where you can be assertive with your own decisions. Because at the end of the day, it's going to come down to you making your own decisions. And if you've got a very clear path of what success and failure looks like, understanding that it ain't going to look like your business plan. As long as it's got the broad shapes of where you want to go, it can get you out of bed every day to try and make things happen. So, yeah, just go for it. Really, that's it.Paul Marden: See where it takes you. So look, in the world of themed entertainment, we talk a lot about IP and storytelling and creating magical experiences. Are any of these concepts relevant to a destination like yours?Andy Hadden: Yeah, well, you know, technically, from an IP perspective, you know, we're using the WaveGround Cove technology. You know, we've purchased that. So from a strictly business perspective, you know, we have access to their sort of IP in that sense and we deliver that. But I think for us, the IP is the destination. It's so unique, it's so big that it becomes defendable at scale. So it does sound like a bit of an all-in poker hand. But it would be more risky to go half in because these things are very hard to build. But when they are built, they're also very hard to compete with. So as long as your customer experience is good enough. You're going to maintain a kind of exclusivity in your locality for long into the future. So, yeah, there's obviously IP issues in terms of technologies. But for us, it was all about creating a destination with three business plans that's greater than the sum of its parts. And if we can do that in our location, then it's very hard to compete against, I would say.Paul Marden: Andy, it sounds like such an exciting journey that you've been on. And one year in, that journey has still got a long way to play out, doesn't it? You must be on quite the rollercoaster. Well, surfing quite a wave at the moment, if I don't mix my metaphors so badly.Andy Hadden: Yeah, we're just entering maybe the penultimate phase of the sort of 20-year plan. You know, we've gone through our early stages, our fundraising, our construction. We've gone through the very hard sort of like getting the team together and opening year one. And we're just starting to go, 'OK, we understand we've got data now'. We understand how to run this place now. So I think we now want to push through to stabilise the next two or three years. And then hopefully we've got a lot of irons in the fire globally as well. Hopefully we can go to the next phase, but we'll see what happens. Worst case scenario, I just surf a bit more and try and enjoy my lot.Paul Marden: Well, Andy, it's been lovely talking to you. I've been really interested to hear what you've been up to. This was only a short snippet of an interview. I reckon there's some more stories for you to tell once you're into year two. So I'd love for you to come back and we'll do a full-on interview once you've got year two under your belt. How's that sound to you?Andy Hadden: Absolutely, Paul, and thanks very much for the platform.Paul Marden: Next up, let's hear from some of the exhibitors on the floor. Bakit.Paul Marden: Introduce yourself for me, please, and tell me a little bit about where you're from.Bakit Baydaliev: We have two companies located in Turkey, Istanbul, and Los Angeles, USA. We develop attractions, equipment, but not just equipment— also software, AI, and content, games, and movies. Paul Marden: Oh, wow. So you're here at IAPA. This is my very first morning of my very first IAAPA. So it's all very overwhelming for me. Tell me, what is it that you're launching at IAAPA today?Bakit Baydaliev: Today we're launching our bestseller, Hurricane. It's a coaster simulator. In addition to that, we're also launching a special immersive tunnel, Mars Odyssey. We're sending people to Mars, we're sending people to space, and the story, of course, may change. After you install the attractions, you always can create different kinds of content for this attraction. It's completely immersive and what is very unique for this attraction is edutainment. Theme parks, science centres, space centres, and museums all benefit from it. It's not just to show and entertain, but also educate and provide a lot of useful information for people. Paul Marden: So what would you say is unique about this? Bakit Baydaliev: There are several factors. First of all, it's equipment. We have a very special software that amazingly synchronizes with the content and it doesn't create motion sickness at all. Paul Marden: Oh, really? Bakit Baydaliev: This is very important. Independently on the speeds, which is... We have very high speeds in our simulators. In addition to that, we have special effects, unusual effects, which feel like cold, heat, sounds.Paul Marden: So it is truly 4D, isn't it?Bakit Baydaliev: Completely. In addition to that, it's interactive content. It's not just the content which you can sit and... watch and entertain yourself and get a lot of useful information, but also you can interact. You can play games, you can shoot, you can interact. And of course, the most important thing which makes this attraction innovative is the educational aspect.Paul Marden: I find that really interesting that you could see this ride at a theme park, but similarly you can see it as an educational exhibit at a science centre or space centre. I think that's very interesting.Bakit Baydaliev: Very, very. Especially, you know, the standard experience for space centres, science centres, and especially museums, it's just walking around, touch some stuff. Some you may not even touch it. It's exponents which you can watch, you can read, it's very nice. But it's even better when you let people live it in real with a nice simulation atmosphere environment, like immersive tunnel.Paul Marden: Absolutely. Bekit, thank you so much for joining us on Skip the Queue, and I look forward to enjoying one of the rides.Bakit Baydaliev: Please ride, and you will be amazed.Hamza Saber: My name is Hamza. I work for TÜV SUD Germany. Our main job is to make sure attractions are safe, parks are safe. We do everything from design review to initial examination of rides, to yearly checks and making sure that we push the standards and the norm to the next level and cover everything that comes in new in the industry as well to make sure this industry stays safe and enjoyable for people. Paul Marden: It's so important though, isn't it? At an event like this, you don't have a sexy stand with lots of really cool rides to experience, but what you do is super important.Hamza Saber: Yes, I guess it's not one of the big colourful booths, but it's at the heart of this industry. It's in the background. If you look at the program for the education, there is a lot of safety talks. There is a lot of small groups talking about safety, trying to harmonise norms as well. Because if you look at the world right now, we have the EN standards. We have the American standards and we're working right now to try to bring them closer together so it's as easy and safe and clear for all manufacturers and operators to understand what they need to do to make sure that their guests are safe at the end of the day.Paul Marden: So Hamza, there's some really cool tech that you've got on the stand that's something new that you've brought to the stand today. So tell us a little bit about that.Hamza Saber: So as you can see, we have one of the drones right here and the video behind you. So we're trying to include new technologies to make it easier, faster, and more reliable to do checks on big structures like this or those massive buildings that you usually see. You can get really, really close with the new technologies, the drones with the 4K cameras, you can get very, very precise. We're also working on AI to train it to start getting the first round of inspections done using AI. And just our expert to focus on the most important and critical aspects. So we're just going to make it faster, more reliable.Paul Marden: So I guess if you've got the drone, that means you don't have to walk the entire ride and expect it by eye?Hamza Saber: No, we still have to climb. So what we do is more preventive using the drones. So the drones, especially with the operators, they can start using them. And if they notice something that does not fit there, we can go and look at it. But the actual yearly inspections that are accepted by the governments, you still need to climb, you still need to check it yourself. So the technology is not right there yet, but hopefully we're going to get there. Paul Marden: We're a long way away from the robots coming and taking the safety engineer's job then. Hamza Saber: Yes, exactly. And they don't think they're going to come take our jobs anytime soon. Using technology hands-in-hands with our expertise, that's the future.Paul Marden: It must be so exciting for you guys because you have to get involved in all of these projects. So you get to see the absolute tippy top trends as they're coming towards you.Hamza Saber: Yeah, for sure. Like we're always three years before the public knowledge. So it's exciting to be behind the scene a little bit and knowing what's going on. We're seeing some really fun and creative ideas using AI to push the attractions industry to the next level. So I'm excited to see any new rides that will be published or announced at some point this week.Paul Marden: Very cool. Look, Hamza, it's been lovely to meet you. Thanks for coming on Skip the Queue.Hamza Saber: Yeah, thank you so much.Kristof Van Hove: My name is Kristof. I live in Belgium. I'm working for the Tomorrowland group already now for three years, especially on the leisure part.Paul Marden: Tell listeners a little bit about Tomorrowland because many of our listeners are attraction owners and operators. They may not be familiar with Tomorrowland.Kristof Van Hove: Yeah, so Tomorrowland is already 20 years, I think, one of the number one festivals in the world. Actually, already for the last years, always the number one in the world. And what makes us special is that we are not just a festival, but we are a community. We create. special occasions for people and it starts from the moment that they buy their tickets till the festival we make a special feeling that people like and I think we create a world and each year we work very hard on new team that goes very deep so not only making a festival but we go very deep in our branding not only with our main stage but we also make a book about it we make gadgets about it so it's a completely.Paul Marden:  Wow. Help listeners to understand what it is that you're doing new here at the moment. You're blending that festival experience, aren't you, into attractions.Kristof Van Hove: Yeah, that's right. So because we are already 20 years on the market building IP, the more and more we really are able to create a complete experience, not only the IP as a brand, but also all the things around it. We have our own furniture. We have our own plates. We create actually all elements that are needed to build a leisure industry project. And that makes it magnificent. I think we are capable now, with everything that we do in-house, to set up and to facilitate water park and attraction park projects completely. Paul Marden: So, have you got any attractions that are open at the moment? Kristof Van Hove: Well, we have the Ride to Happiness, of course, the coaster that is built in Plopsaland three years ago. That is already now for five years the number one steel coaster in Europe and the fifth steel coaster in the world. So this is a project we are very proud of. Besides that, we have already a lot of immersive experiences. And we are constructing now a secret project that will be announced in the beginning of next year somewhere in Europe.Paul Marden: Give us a little sneak peek what that might look like.Kristof Van Hove: It's not that far from here. Okay, okay, excellent. So it's more an outdoor day project that we are constructing. That for sure will be something unique. Excellent.Paul Marden: So look, you're already planning into 2026. Help listeners to understand what the future might look like. What trends are you seeing in the sector for next year?Kristof Van Hove: Well, I think more and more the people expect that they get completely a deep dive into branding. I don't think that people still want to go to non-IP branded areas. They want to have the complete package from the moment that they enter. They want to be immersed. With everything around it, and they want a kind of a surrounding, and they want to have the feeling that they are a bit out of their normal life, and a deep dive in a new environment. And I think this is something that we try to accomplish. Paul Marden: Wow.David Jungmann: David Jungman, I'm the Director of Business Development here at Accesso, based in Germany. I'm super excited to be here at IAPA in Barcelona. We're exhibiting our whole range of solutions from ticketing to point of sale to virtual queuing to mobile apps. And one of the features we're calling out today is our Accesso Pay 3.0 checkout flow, which streamlines donations, ticket insurance, relevant payment types by region on a single simple one-click checkout page.Paul Marden: What impact does that have on customers when they're presented with that simple one-click checkout?David Jungmann: Well, as you guys know, conversion rate is super important. The number of clicks in an e-commerce environment is super important. And because we're at IAAPA Europe, we've got guests here from all over Europe. Different regions require different payment types. And it's important to not overload a checkout page with like eight different types for, let's say, German guests, Dutch guests, Belgium guests, is to be able to only offer what's relevant and to keep it short and sweet. And then rolling in additional features like donations, ticket insurance and gift cards, stuff like that.Paul Marden: Amazing. So get your crystal ball out and think about what the world in 2026 is going to be like.David Jungmann: I think this year was a little bit soft in terms of performance for the parks, certainly in Europe, what we've seen. I think what that will mean is that maybe some will consider, you know, really big capex investments. But what that also means is they will get creative. So I envision a world where, instead of buying new protocols for 20 million, maybe some operators will start thinking about how can we make more out of what we've got with less, right? How can we be really creative? And I think there's a lot to uncover next year for us to see.Paul Marden:  Sweating their assets maybe to be able to extend what they do without that big CapEx project.David Jungmann:  Yes, how can we keep innovating? How can we keep our experience fresh? Without just buying something very expensive straight away. And I think that's what we see.Paul Marden: What is going to be innovating for Xesso and the market that you serve?David Jungmann: Well, for us, it's really about that streamlined, consistent guest experience, but also tying into things like immersive experiences, right, where you could maybe change the overlay of an attraction and feed in personalised information that you have for your visitors and collect it during you know the booking flow when they enter the venue and feeding that into the actual experience i think that's something i'm excited about.Paul Marden: I think that there is a missed opportunity by so many attractions. There's so much data that we build and we collect the data, but oftentimes we don't bring it together into a central place and then figure out the ways in which we want to use it. There's so much more you can do with that rich data, isn't there?David Jungmann: 100% exactly. And I don't just mean from a marketing perspective. I mean from an actual experience perspective. Let's say you ride through Dark Ride and all of a sudden your name pops up or your favorite character pops up and waves hello to you. That's the type of stuff you want to do, not just market the hell out of it.Paul Marden: Absolutely. Look, David, it's been so good to meet you. Thank you ever so much. And yeah, thank you for joining Skip the Queue. David Jungmann: Thanks, Paul. Have a great day at the show. Paul Marden: Isn't it great? I mean, we have got such an amazing job, haven't we? To be able to come to a place like this and be able to call this work.David Jungmann: Absolute privilege. Yes, absolutely.Paul Marden: Now, before we wrap up, Andy and I wanted to have a little chat about what we've seen today and what we've enjoyed. Why don't we sit down? You have clearly returned to your tribe. Is there a person in this place that doesn't actually know you?Andy Povey: There's loads. I've been doing the same thing for 30 years. Paul Marden: Yeah, this ain't your first radio, is it? Andy Povey: I'm big and I'm loud, so I'd stand out in a crowd. I mean, there are all fantastic things that I should put on my CV. But this is really where I feel at home. This industry continues to blow me away. We're here, we're talking to competitors, we're talking to potential customers, we're talking to previous customers, we're talking to people that we've worked with, and it's just all so friendly and so personally connected. I love it.Paul Marden: It has been awesome. I've really enjoyed it. Although I'm beginning to get into the Barry White territory of my voice because it's quite loud on the show floor, isn't it? Andy Povey: It is. It's actually quieter than previous shows, so I don't know why, and I don't know whether... Maybe I'm just getting old and my hearing's not working quite so well, but... You used to walk out of the show and you could almost feel your ears relax as they just stopped hearing and being assaulted, I suppose, by machines pinging and blowing.Paul Marden: It really is an assault on the senses, but in the very best way possible. Andy Povey: Absolutely, absolutely. I feel like a child. You're walking around the show, you're going, 'Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow.' Paul Marden: So what has been your highlight? Andy Povey: Do you know, I don't think I could give you one. It really is all of the conversations, the connections, the people you didn't know that you hadn't spoken to for two years.Paul Marden: So for me, my highlight, there was a ride that I went on, Doff Robotics.Andy Povey: I've seen that, man.Paul Marden: So it was amazing. I thought I was going to be feeling really, really sick and that I wouldn't enjoy it, but it was amazing. So I had Emily with the camera in front of me. And within 10 seconds, I forgot that I was being recorded and that she was there. I was completely immersed in it. And I came off it afterwards feeling no motion sickness at all and just having had a real good giggle all the way through. I was grinning like, you know, the Cheshire Cat. Andy Povey: A grinning thing. Paul Marden: Yeah. So, tomorrow, what are you looking forward to?Andy Povey:  It's more of the same. It really is. There's going to be some sore heads after tonight's party at Tribodabo. We're all hoping the rain holds off long enough for it to be a great experience. But more of the same.Paul Marden: Well, let's meet back again tomorrow, shall we? Andy Povey: Completely. Paul Marden: Let's make a date.Paul Marden: Thanks for listening to today's episode from IAAPA Expo Europe.

The Swedes do central banking a little different to us, and I reckon it's good news we've got a Swede in charge. Riksbank - their RBNZ equivalent - is really big on this thing called transparency. There's three things to know - this is stuff they do that we don't, currently. 1. They rank amongst best performing on openness and honesty in the world.2. They publish an actual forward forecast for the OCR - we don't.3. They publish alternative scenarios and minutes. In the minutes, you get to see which of these guys voted which way and their justifications for dong so. Currently, we don't even get to know which way the committee members voted, let alone why. And remember, the Fed in the US and the Bank of England do - as does Riksbank. So here's hoping the Swede in charge will help shake things up and that changes will be made and sunlight will be shone. A new dawn, perhaps, for 2 The Terrace, after a dark and cloudy rollercoaster ride of terror under Adrian Orr. Her name is Anna Breman and her CV reads as you'd expect - current 2IC of Riksbank in her home country. And she's held academic jobs and been the Chief Economist at a retail bank. She's moving here with the family. Which is nice - but I don't know how NZ First will feel about us importing another migrant for a Kiwi job. The reality is, most of the heavy lifting will - hopefully - have been done by the time she sits down for her first briefing on December 1st. We've got two more reviews under Hawkesby in October and November. Then he's gone. Not just from the top job, but the bank entirely. And then they shut up shop for Christmas till February. Let's hope as she enjoys what I'm sure will be a welcome sunny Kiwi summer, she brings a bit of that sunshine - the best disinfectant in town - to 2, The Terrace.

Think your LinkedIn profile is just a digital CV? Think again. In this eye‐opening conversation with Louise Brogan (Founder, Brogan Partners; LinkedIn: Louise Brogan Ltd. – Video Content Marketing) LinkedIn UK, author of Raise your Visibility on LinkedIn, we uncover the strategic approach that transformed her business from a failing craft shop to a thriving LinkedIn consultancy serving global clients.Louise breaks down her four‐stage system for LinkedIn success that goes far beyond basic profile tips. She explains why your headline should communicate value rather than just your job title, how your “About” section should focus on helping potential clients (not showcasing your achievements), and why the often‐overlooked “Featured” section might be your most powerful conversion tool.What's particularly fascinating is Louise's approach to networking and selling on the platform. Rather than connecting with everyone who sends a request, she maintains a carefully curated network of relevant contacts. “It's so much better to have a network of people who are interested in what you have to say,” she explains, comparing LinkedIn to an in-person industry conference where strategic connections and thoughtful conversations lead to business opportunities.Perhaps most surprising is Louise's revelation about YouTube's role in her business growth. With 110,000 subscribers watching her short, targeted LinkedIn tutorials, she's built a powerful lead generation engine that funnels prospects to her consulting services. “I have 3.3 million views on YouTube,” she shares, “and I have less than 16,000 followers on LinkedIn.”Whether you're a marketing professional looking to build thought leadership, a business owner seeking quality leads, or simply tired of getting spammy connection requests, Louise's practical advice will transform how you approach LinkedIn. Stop wasting time on random connections and irrelevant content – start treating LinkedIn as the powerful business development tool it can be.Ready to raise your visibility and start meaningful conversations that actually lead to business?

Ep 212 - One World a New World with John Bunzl, Founder and Trustee❓ Why can't nations solve global problems alone?❓ What is destructive global competition, and how do we overcome it?❓ How does inner consciousness connect to political change?❓ What role can citizens play in global cooperation?Step into a transformative dialogue where politics, consciousness, and cooperation converge. In this episode of One World in a New World, Zen Benefiel welcomes John Bunzl, founder of the International Simultaneous Policy Organization (Simpol). Together, they explore how global challenges like climate change, inequality, and destructive competition can only be solved through cooperation across nations—acting not separately, but simultaneously. This conversation shines a light on the power of unity consciousness, the courage to rethink governance, and the potential of everyday citizens to influence systemic change.John shares his journey from a personal awakening in 1998 to a lifelong commitment to creating practical political solutions for global problems.

NEW RECRUITMENT KPI'S FOR TOMORROW'S TALENT ACQUISITION   We are beginning to see some step change improvements in recruiter capability. The promise of AI has been overblown in many areas, but it is clear huge efficiency gains have been seen in areas such as sourcing, CV review, interview note taking, interview scheduling and more. These are areas which previously took large teams for recruiters a lot of time to manage. Now with increased in capability, what does this do to how we measure recruiter performance?   Lets deep dive:   - Pre AI, what were the industry avg numbers: how many reqs per capita, how many hires per month - What is the number today in 2025? - What does it look like in 2026? - Areas of greatest efficiency gain: Applicant Review, Sourcing New Candidates etc - How has the time distribution changed once AI comes into production? - Are we spending more time per candidate? Do we have more or less candidate interviews? - QoH...does this measure change? - What would we expect once every TA team becomes AI-enabled? - How do we design a dynamic system of performance measures, which takes into account AI maturity? - What does this mean for people currently in TA - what skills to develop? - How do we ensure early entry talent flow?   All this and more, with Adriano Herdman, CEO (We Are Move), Emma Mirrington, Founder (The Talent Labs), Alan Price, Global Head of Talent Acquisition (Deel), Neil Morelli, Founder (Workplace Labs) & friends.   We are on Friday 19th Sep, 2pm BST - follow the channel here (recommended) and save your spot for this demo by clicking on the green button.     Ep331 is sponsored by our friends Teamtailor   Let's change it up this week, updated copy below;   Remember when hiring felt simple?

¿Qué hace a un coche realmente rápido? Para muchos un motor muy potente. Pero no para Colin Chapman, el legendario fundador de Lotus, autor de la famosa frase: “Prefiero un kilo menos que un caballo más”. Su filosofía era radical y simple: eliminar todo lo innecesario para lograr la máxima ligereza y agilidad. Una obsesión que le valió grandes éxitos, pero que también generó controversia y críticas por la seguridad de sus coches. De hecho, su enfoque radical llevó a que sus coches de F1 fueran considerados frágiles y peligrosos, una realidad que se hizo tristemente evidente con la muerte del campeón Jochen Rindt en 1970 a bordo de un Lotus 72. Sus creaciones con "efecto suelo" como el Lotus 78 y 79, si bien eran muy eficaces hubo quienes los consideraron peligroso, pues podían volverse inestables de manera súbita. Colin Chapman tenía verdadera obsesión por el peso. Su famosa frase, que parece evidente, ya verás requiere explicación. Por un lado, la equivalencia de 1 kilo y un CV es figurada… deben ser más kilos para compensar. 1. Lotus Mark VI (1952). Empezamos por el principio, o casi. El Lotus Mark VI no fue el primer coche que Chapman construyó, pero sí el primero que se vendió en serie. Fue el coche que convirtió su visión de “simplificar y añadir ligereza” en un producto comercial. 2. Lotus Seven (1957). Si hay un coche que representa mejor que ninguno la esencia de Lotus, es el Seven. Nacido para reemplazar al Mark VI, este roadster realmente minimalista es todo un Lotus por excelencia. Sin lujos y sin concesiones a la comodidad. El Seven también se vendió en kit de nuevo y era poco más que un esqueleto con motor y cuatro ruedas. Su chasis de acero tubular y su carrocería de aluminio casi inexistente lo hacían increíblemente ligero. 3. Lotus Elite Type 14 (1958). Mientras el Seven era la simplicidad en su máxima expresión, el Elite fue la elegancia y la innovación. Este coupé de dos plazas fue el primer coche de producción en serie del mundo con una carrocería monocasco de fibra de vidrio. Esta técnica era revolucionaria en la época, ya que permitía una estructura muy ligera y rígida. La carrocería pesaba tan solo 54 kg. El Elite no solo era innovador, era bello. Su diseño aerodinámico, obra de Peter Kirwan-Taylor, es uno de los más icónicos de la historia de Lotus. 4. Lotus Elan (1962). El Elan fue la respuesta de Lotus a la necesidad de un coche deportivo de carretera algo, aunque fuese un poco, más que el Elite. Buscaban en éxito en las ventas y lo consiguieron con creces. El Elan es considerado por muchos como uno de los roadsters más importantes de la historia. Fue el primer Lotus de carretera con un chasis de acero con forma de tubo central, una técnica que se usaría en modelos posteriores. 5. Lotus 25 (1962). El primer F1 de esta lista, porque la filosofía de Chapman no se limitaba a los coches de calle, fue la base de su éxito en la Fórmula 1. Y el 25 es el ejemplo perfecto. Fue el primer monoplaza de Fórmula 1 en utilizar un chasis monocasco de aluminio. Esta innovación estructural, que ahora usan todos, aunque con carbono y no aluminio, revolucionó el diseño de los coches de carreras. 6. Lotus 72 (1970). Uno de mis Lotus favoritos, el 72 es uno de los monoplazas más exitosos y significativos de la historia de la Fórmula 1. Su diseño innovador fue obra de Colin Chapman y Maurice Philippe. Introdujo varias innovaciones clave, ganando los campeonatos de 1970, 1972 y 1973 con Jochen Rindt y Emerson Fittipaldi. Es un coche que definió una era. 7. Lotus Esprit (1976). Volvemos a los coches de calle con el Esprit marcó un cambio de rumbo para Lotus. Y con un diseño nada menos que de otro genio: Giorgetto Giugiaro. Este coupé de motor central fue un superdeportivo en toda regla. Su diseño angular, en forma de cuña, lo convirtió en una estrella del cine. Debutó en la película de James Bond "La espía que me amó" donde se convertía en un submarino. 8. Lotus 78 (1977). El coche que muchos especialistas consideran el F1 más influyente de la historia… me sumo a esa idea. El Lotus 78 popularizó la aerodinámica de efecto suelo en la Fórmula 1. 9. Lotus 88 (1981). Para mí un coche “maltratado” por la FIA. Y es que este excepcional y original Lotus 88 nunca llegó a competir, pero para mí es un ejemplo de la genialidad de Colin Chapman. Con la prohibición de la aerodinámica de efecto suelo con faldones, Chapman buscó una solución. El 88 tenía dos chasis: uno interno, donde iba el motor y la cabina, y otro externo, que era la carrocería aerodinámica. 10. Lotus Excel (1982). Un gran olvidado y que a mí, particularmente, me encanta. El Lotus Excel fue el último coche de producción de Colin Chapman antes de su muerte. Es un desarrollo del Eclat, pero con una mejora radical.

¿Mercedes usando motores BMW? ¡Sacrilegio!, ¡Traición! Pero… ¿y si os dijera que esta "traición" no es la primera vez que la hace Mercedes? ¿Y si os dijera que es una de las prácticas más antiguas en el mundo del motor? Como de costumbre, mi objetivo es sorprenderos. Hoy en Garaje Hermético vamos a descubrir alianzas impensables y coches legendarios o casi cuyo “corazón” es prestado… La noticia ha corrido como la pólvora: Mercedes-Benz podría empezar a usar motores de cuatro cilindros de BMW a partir de 2027. Antes de que los más puristas os se vayáis a las puertas de Stuttgart a manifestaros, ,hay que entender el por qué. Desarrollar un motor desde cero es una de las inversiones más costosas a las que se enfrenta un fabricante. Hablamos de cientos, a veces miles de millones de euros en investigación, desarrollo, pruebas, utillaje para las fábricas y, sobre todo, en superar las cada vez más estrictas normativas anticontaminación. En un mundo que supuestamente va hacia lo eléctrico, invertir una fortuna en un nuevo motor de combustión que tiene fecha de caducidad es una apuesta muy arriesgada. Por eso, las sinergias, las colaboraciones y las alianzas estratégicas están a la orden del día. A veces es por pura supervivencia, otras por acceder a una tecnología que no se posee, y en ocasiones, simplemente, porque otra marca ya ha fabricado el motor perfecto que necesitas. Mercedes-BMW (2027). El rumor que ha desatado este guion apunta a un futuro muy cercano. A partir de 2027, se espera que Mercedes utilice motores de cuatro cilindros de origen BMW. Mercedes-Renault (2012). Esta colaboración es el ejemplo perfecto de la estrategia moderna. Con la llegada de la tercera generación del Clase A (W176), Mercedes necesitaba un motor diésel pequeño y muy eficiente. Mitsubishi Lancer TDi (2007). Si te hablo de Lancer enseguida tu mente se va a los Rallyes… pero Mitsubishi necesitaba un motor diésel de 2 litros para ser competitiva en Europa con su nueva generación del Lancer. Y en lugar de desarrollar uno propio, recurrió al proveedor por excelencia de la época: Volkswagen. Chrysler Sebring-VW (2007). A mediados de los 2000, el mercado europeo demandaba berlinas diésel. Chrysler, que por entonces formaba parte de DaimlerChrysler, no tenía un motor de gasóleo competitivo de 2 litros. La solución fue fácil y directa: comprarle a Volkswagen su archiconocido motor 2.0 TDi de 140 CV. Lotus-Toyota (2004). Lotus es la quintaesencia del chasis perfecto y la ligereza, pero la fiabilidad no siempre fue su fuerte y nunca fabricó motores. Con la llegada del Elise 111R, la marca británica tomó una de sus mejores decisiones: usar el motor 2ZZ-GE de Toyota. Lamborghini Gallardo-Audi (2003). Un Audi R8 vestido de gala. Aquí entramos en sinergias de grupo, pero no deja de ser chocante para los más puristas. Koenigsegg CC8S-Ford (2002). La exclusiva marca sueca recurrió a un V8 muy "plebeyo" de Ford. Mercedes Vito VR6 (1996). Esta es una de esas colaboraciones que rompen todos los esquemas. A mediados de los 90, Mercedes necesitaba un motor de gasolina potente y refinado para el tope de gama de su nueva furgoneta, la Vito 280 de la serie W638. Aston Martin DB7 “by Jaguar” (1994). El Aston Martin DB7 salvó a la marca de la quiebra en los 90. Era precioso, elegante... y un puzle de piezas de otras marcas. Su plataforma derivaba del Jaguar XJS y su motor de seis cilindros en línea era una evolución de un bloque de Jaguar, convenientemente sobrealimentado por un compresor. McLaren-BMW F1 (1992). Para muchos, el mejor superdeportivo de todos los tiempos. Pero Gordon Murray no tenía motor. Llamó a la puerta de Honda y no le “abrieron”. ¿La solución? Acudió a BMW M y el resultado fue el legendario S70/2, un V12 de 6.1 litros y 627 CV que es una obra de arte de la ingeniería. Mercedes 500 E "Made by Porsche" (1990). E incluido este coche para mostraros que los chicos de Mercedes son muy “promiscuos”. A principios de los 90, Mercedes quería competir con el BMW M5. Tenían el motor V8 perfecto, pero no cabía en la línea de montaje de su berlina, el W124. ¿A quién le pides ayuda cuando tienes un problema de ingeniería en Stuttgart? ¡Pues a tu vecino, Porsche!

If you're burnt out, juggling casuals and “spare parts”, and hoping a fruit bowl and team brekkie will fix culture - you're kidding yourself. Here's the truth: culture isn't vibes. It's standards, systems and accountability - lived daily. In this episode, we unpack how elite footy programs like the Melbourne Storm and Norths turn “off-cuts” into pros, and how you can install the same habits in a five-person studio. We're talking non-negotiables (as the floor, not the ceiling), recruiting on character over CV, team-driven leadership, and the exact rhythms - huddles, reviews and scoreboards - that lift performance without you barking orders. Here's what we're covering: -The difference between real culture and “bribery” (and why free coffees won't save you) -Why recruiting on character beats qualifications every day of the week -Non-negotiables as the floor (not the ceiling) - and how to set them -The Storm “work program”, Purple Hearts and rituals that hardwire effort -How to build team-driven accountability (so standards police themselves) -The review room: 3 effort-based actions, player self-scores and visible scoreboards -Mini-teams, healthy competition and gamifying the right behaviours -Leading with questions, not speeches - practical prompts you can steal -How to reset a weak culture in 90 days (without blowing up your team) -What to do when a high performer is in a slump (support vs standards) Chapters: ⏳ [00:00] Why Your “Culture” Isn't Working (and What It Actually Is) ⏳ [01:05] Character Over CV: How Elite Teams Recruit Winners ⏳ [07:07] Systems, Standards, Accountability - the Culture Trinity ⏳ [12:21] Rituals That Matter: Jerseys Off the Floor & Standing to Greet ⏳ [20:10] Non-Negotiables Are the Floor, Not the Ceiling ⏳ [23:06] Inside the Storm: The Work Program & Perspective Shift ⏳ [33:44] Spotting Weak Culture: Meetings, Dialogue and Behaviours ⏳ [41:10] The Review Room: Effort Metrics, Self-Scores & Scoreboards ⏳ [44:30] Build the Framework: Themes, Mini-Teams & Gamification ⏳ [51:30] Listener Q&A: Spare Parts, Monthly Meetings & Where to Start ⏳ [1:03:00] Coaching High Performers Through a Slump (Without Dropping Standards) ⏳ [1:16:20] Daily/Weekly Huddles That Drive Action (Not Just Talk) ⏳ [1:21:30] Vision That Sticks: From Top-Down to Team-Owned Don't forget to like, subscribe, and comment below with your biggest takeaway.

The big news in Westminster today is that there has been another defection to Reform. But this time it feels slightly different: a front bench Tory with a CV that spans multiple Tory leaders and a number of books on Conservative thought is now batting for Reform.Danny Kruger, Nigel Farage's latest defector, served as David Cameron's speechwriter, Boris Johnson's political secretary and Robert Jenrick's campaign manager just last summer. His defection will therefore come as a serious blow to those who argue that the Conservative party stands a better chance than Reform of winning the next election.Kruger told the room that he believes Reform now stands the best chance of saving the country at the time of the next election and that his former Tory party was ‘finished as the main opposition to the left'. His argument is that Reform is the ‘new home' of conservatism. Where does this leave Kemi Badenoch? And will his defection open up the floodgates for more to follow?Oscar Edmondson speaks to James Heale and Lucy Dunn.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.
