Kathryn Porritt is the founder and CEO of Iconic Empires, where she specializes in helping elite experts build luxury and premium positioning. With a focus on monetization expertise and authority, Kathryn works with clients to elevate their brands and expand their vision of possibilities. Her unique approach emphasizes mastery, rarity, and transformative experiences, enabling her clients to connect deeply with high-end buyers. In this episode, Mark Stiving sits down with Kathryn Porritt to explore the intricacies of selling luxury goods. They discuss the differences between luxury and premium buyers, the importance of creating an expanded vision of possibilities, and how to effectively communicate value in high-end markets.    Why You Have to Check Out This Episode: Learn why luxury buyers don't negotiate and how expanding a buyer's future vision removes price from the conversation entirely. Understand the difference between premium and luxury pricing, and why treating them the same quietly caps your revenue. Discover how elite sellers confidently say bold prices without flinching, discounting, or overselling.   "Expand a vision of possibility for people—show them what they can't see for themselves. When you focus on that, pricing becomes easy."  – Kathryn Porritt   Topics Covered: 01:30 – What Luxury Buyers Actually Buy. Why true luxury customers aren't purchasing features or value props—they're buying rarity, mastery, and first-of-its-kind experiences. 05:40 – Premium vs. Luxury: The Line Most Sellers Miss. How premium buyers still compare and negotiate—while luxury buyers step outside price entirely. 08:45 – The "Expanded Vision of Possibility" Framework. Why the most powerful pricing conversations anchor buyers in a future they didn't know was available. 12:30 – When Budgets Grow (Even in Corporations). How elite sellers expand scope and impact—causing "fixed" corporate budgets to quietly increase. 16:10 – Confidence, Control, and Saying the Number. Why the price you can say without hesitation determines whether the buyer trusts you. 19:40 – Intuition vs. Calculators in Luxury Pricing. How elite experts balance cost, margins, and intuition when there is no reference price. 23:20 – Why This Isn't Just for Luxury Brands. Mark connects the dots: this is exactly how every B2B seller should be selling value. 26:40 – One Pricing Principle That Changes Everything. Kathryn's closing advice—and why expanding possibilities is the fastest path to higher prices.   Key Takeaways: "People at this level, people who buy luxury, like true luxury buyers, they're looking for something that's not necessarily about the value." – Kathryn Porritt "That expanded vision of possibility is the difference. And like I said, that's when pricing becomes almost obsolete in the conversation." – Kathryn Porritt "For a luxury buyer, it's not about the budget." – Kathryn Porritt   People & Resources Mentioned: Iconic Empires – Kathryn's firm helping elite experts position, monetize, and sell at the highest levels. Jeff Bezos – Referenced as an example of true luxury buying behavior where budget is irrelevant Coca-Cola - Mentioned as a corporate example in the context of budget discussions for events. Luxury Market - Discussed as a distinct market segment with unique buyer motivations.   Connect with Kathryn Porritt: Website: https://www.kathrynporritt.com/ Website: https://iconicempire.com  Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathryn-porritt?originalSubdomain=au    Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving Email: mark@impactpricing.com

Listen to the rest of this premium episode by subscribing at patreon.com/knowyourenemy.We were excited to record and share this conversation with Matt Dinan, a professor who teaches in a Great Books program at St. Thomas University, a liberal arts college in New Brunswick, Canada. It brings together longtime preoccupations of the show — Saul Bellow's late novel, Ravelstein, Allan Bloom, Straussian political philosophy — with the fraught emergence of LLMs like ChatGPT. This past semester, Dinan took a fairly radical approach to confronting AI in the classroom, and it seemed to work. We consider the art of teaching, the qualities of great teachers, and what it all reveals about an insidious technology's effect on how we live and learn as citizens in, at least for now, a democratic republic.Listen again: "Unraveling Allan Bloom and Saul Bellow," June 21, 2021Sources:Saul Bellow, Ravelstein (2000)Allan Bloom, The Closing of the American Mind (1987)Matt Dinan, "Saul Bellow's Ravelstein," Hedgehog Review, Spring 2025— "Permission Structures," Prefaces, Dec 10, 2025— "It's Not Just a Calculator," Prefaces, Aug 28, 2024Jorge Luis Borges, "The Lottery in Babylon," Collected Fictions (1999)Jonathan Malesic, "ChatGPT Is a Gimmick: AI cannot save us from the effort of learning to live and die," Hedgehog Review, May 21, 2025— "Taming the Demon: How desert monks put work in its place," Commonweal, Feb 2, 2019

194: How Executive Assistants can turn daily support work into hard numbers that lead to real raises. In this conversation, Elizabeth Sutkowska (based in Gdańsk, Poland) breaks down a practical way to negotiate your EA salary with data, using an EA ROI Calculator that tracks time saved, cost avoided, and the business impact leaders actually understand. If you've ever heard "your salary is fair," this is the exact mindset (and method) that flips the script. We also go beyond compensation and dig into the bigger picture of modern Executive Support: - From Au Pair → Hospitality → Corporate EA: how a non-linear career path builds the real skills top executives need (pressure handling, service excellence, business instincts, communication). - Executive Assistant in Poland: why the role is often underestimated, how stereotypes still shape expectations, and what needs to change for stronger recognition and career growth. - EA vs Chief of Staff: an honest take on titles, responsibilities, and why many EAs already do "CoS-level" work, without the label. - Community & visibility: why Elizabeth founded the Assistologist to elevate the profession through representation, education, and a "Polish roots, global mindset" approach. - Plus a few human moments (work-life balance, habits, and the funny IKEA/Swedish candy confession).

As 2025 draws to a close, Monika invites listeners to pause and take stock of their financial lives with a simple but powerful money report card. Using a series of clear yes-or-no questions, this episode walks through the absolute basics of money management — cash-flow systems, emergency funds, insurance, debt control, savings discipline, asset allocation, retirement planning, and the importance of reviewing nominees and wills. The aim is to help listeners check whether their financial foundations are truly in place as they head into a new year. Monika explains why these non-negotiables matter far more than chasing returns or reacting to headlines. From separating bank accounts for income, spending, and investing, to keeping high-interest debt under control, building long-term equity exposure, diversifying across asset classes, and planning well ahead for retirement, this episode serves as a practical year-end audit. Financial freedom, she reminds listeners, is built through systems, consistency, and periodic review — not shortcuts or noise. In listener queries, an anonymous NRI working in the merchant navy asks about portfolio diversification, marriage, and building a second income stream; an anonymous retiree from Pune seeks guidance on government-backed investment options and monthly income after returning from the Gulf; and Reshma from Bengaluru writes about navigating divorce, career transition, retirement planning, and securing her daughter's future.Chapters:(00:00 – 00:00) Your 2025 Money Report Card: Are the Basics in Place?(00:00 – 00:00) Scoring Yourself on Savings, Debt, Insurance, and Retirement(00:00 – 00:00) Building Wealth and Passive Income as a Young NRI(00:00 – 00:00) Safe Government Investment Options for Retired Couples(00:00 – 00:00) Planning Finances After Divorce and Protecting Dignity in RetirementIf you have financial questions that you'd like answers for, please email us at ⁠mailme@monikahalan.com⁠ Monika's book on basic money management⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-money-english/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Monika's book on mutual funds⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-mutual-funds/⁠⁠⁠⁠Monika's workbook on recording your financial life⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-legacy/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Calculators⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://investor.sebi.gov.in/calculators/index.html⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can find Monika on her social media @monikahalan. Twitter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn ⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠Production House: ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.inoutcreatives.com⁠⁠⁠⁠Production Assistant:⁠⁠⁠⁠ Anshika Gogoi⁠⁠⁠

In this conversation, Dr. Heidi explores the concept of emotional math in toxic relationships, where positive experiences are often met with negativity. She explains how the toxic individuals in these relationships operate under a scarcity mindset, leading to insecurity and competition over emotional resources. Dr. Heidi emphasizes the importance of recognizing one's own successes and not minimizing them due to the reactions of others. The discussion also highlights the predictability of toxic behaviors, allowing individuals to better navigate their relationships and own their happiness.See the servies that Dr Heidi offers to help you better understand your situation.https://coachingwithdrheidi.com/Also check out her sister podcast, 'Fak'n Tired' where she talks all about the after affects and emotional wreckage that is left over after the toxic relationship has ended.https://open.spotify.com/show/0IGMxKcGNPOPDQMrCmfs8a?si=pYah9QsXTduaaGOEUzsCTA

This week, Monika unpacks a busy stretch of economic headlines: a strong 8.2% GDP print, the rupee slipping to 90 against the dollar, and a 0.25% RBI rate cut. She begins by explaining why exchange rates matter, what drives currency demand, and why the recent rupee depreciation reflects global risk aversion, high US rates, and a seasonal widening of the current account deficit. Drawing on economist Sajjid Chinoy's view, Monika highlights how a softer rupee can improve export competitiveness and why exceptionally low inflation gives the RBI confidence to allow the currency to adjust without triggering instability.Monika then explains how the RBI's rate cut fits into the broader macro picture. With the repo rate now at 5.25%, the combination of strong growth, a gently depreciating rupee, and lower rates signals confidence in inflation staying anchored. She outlines what this means for savers and borrowers: FD and RBI bond investors may want to lock in long tenors while real returns remain high, borrowers should see relief ahead, and long-duration debt funds may offer tactical opportunities. Above all, she reminds listeners that stable financial plans should not be derailed by headlines or market noise.In listener questions, Anonymous from Bengaluru seeks guidance on navigating family wealth differences while choosing a life partner, Akila weighs renting versus buying as she plans a move before eventually settling into a retirement home, and Aravind from Kerala asks whether investing across top democratic countries is practical for an Indian investor.Chapters:00:00 – 00:00) RBI Rate Cuts and the Rupee at 90(00:00 – 00:00) Why the Rupee Fell and What It Means for Inflation(00:00 – 00:00) Navigating Marriage Decisions When Families Differ in Wealth(00:00 – 00:00) Choosing Between Renting, Buying, or Retirement Homes(00:00 – 00:00) Should Indians Invest Internationally?

This week, Monika breaks down the surprising 8.2% GDP growth print for India's July–September quarter, and why the cheer hasn't shown up in the stock market. She revisits the GDP formula and unpacks the drivers — strong private consumption, resilient services growth, a manufacturing boost from PLI schemes and GST cuts, and a surge in MSME credit that signals broad-based momentum. With India on track for ~7.5% growth this year, the fastest among major economies, Monika explains why this is solid, real activity rather than price-led nominal growth, and how that strength is built on rural spending, good monsoons and recent tax breaks.Monika then turns to the puzzle of why markets remain flat despite a booming economy. She outlines three reasons: money being pulled into IPOs, gold and silver instead of the secondary market; exceptionally low inflation reducing the GDP deflator and therefore nominal growth (the number that drives corporate revenues, profits and market valuations); and stretched valuations that still need cooling. Even so, she emphasises that long-term investors should stay disciplined, maintain asset allocation across debt and equity, and rebalance if needed — the structural growth story remains intact. She also previews next week's discussion on the RBI's rate decision and what it means for households.In listener questions, Shivam asks whether to prepay a low-rate education loan or invest aggressively, and how he and his wife should structure ₹1 lakh of monthly SIPs; Monika explains why, given their stability, keeping the loan and investing for growth works. Piyush writes in from a severe debt trap with home loans, personal loans and card dues far exceeding income; Monika urges him to involve family, liquidate assets and seek structured help through a debt resolution service.

This week, Monika unpacks one of the biggest economic reforms since 1991 — the newly implemented labour codes. She recounts a timely moment from recording the Groww-ing India podcast with Amitabh Kant, where a discussion on delayed labour reforms was followed, just hours later, by the government announcing full implementation. Monika explains why India's post-independence socialist legacy created 29 overlapping, conflicting labour laws that made hiring, firing and compliance incredibly difficult, spawning “dwarf firms,” encouraging informality, and adding nearly 10% to product costs through routine procedural bribes. The new codes — covering wages, social security, industrial relations, and occupational safety & health — replace this maze with a far simpler, unified structure.Monika breaks down what changes for businesses, workers and the broader economy. Compliance sections drop by 75%, forms by 60%, and registers by 76%, with everything now digital. Unified definitions across laws reduce inspector discretion and bring transparency to how wages, benefits and severance are calculated. For workers, coverage expands beyond formal jobs to include gig and platform workers, with mandated timelines for wage payments and clearer rules on overtime. States can now raise the threshold for prior government approval on layoffs, potentially enabling large-scale manufacturing. Lower compliance costs should translate into better margins, fairer protections for informal workers, and eventually lower prices — feeding into higher growth and better long-term returns for investors. For most white-collar employees, the most immediate change may be a rise in delivery fees as gig-worker welfare contributions kick in.In listener questions, Mamta - a 50-year-old single woman between jobs - asks where to keep her savings safely. Sanjay, a 22-year-old data analyst saving an impressive 41% of his income, seeks help budgeting for a future Vietnam trip without derailing long-term investing. And Shikha, entering her 40s with a ₹1.5 crore corpus, wants clarity on buying a house versus renting and how to structure her retirement plan. Monika lays out practical paths for each situation, balancing caution with empowerment.Chapters:(00:00 – 00:00) What the new labour laws mean for you(00:00 – 00:00) Safe saving options when you can't take risk(00:00 – 00:00) How to plan a holiday while investing aggressively(00:00 – 00:00) Should you buy a house or keep renting?(00:00 – 00:00) How to plan retirement when starting latehttps://www.youtube.com/@ThrivebyGrowwIf you have financial questions that you'd like answers for, please email us at ⁠mailme@monikahalan.com⁠ Monika's book on basic money management⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-money-english/⁠⁠⁠⁠Monika's book on mutual funds⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-mutual-funds/⁠⁠⁠Monika's workbook on recording your financial life⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-legacy/⁠⁠⁠⁠Calculators⁠⁠⁠⁠https://investor.sebi.gov.in/calculators/index.html⁠⁠⁠⁠You can find Monika on her social media @monikahalan. Twitter ⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook ⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn ⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠Production House: ⁠⁠⁠www.inoutcreatives.com⁠⁠⁠Production Assistant:⁠⁠⁠ Anshika Gogoi⁠⁠

Windows 1.0 came out on 20th November, 1985, introducing graphical user interface to the masses for the first time. Well, that was the concept, anyway; in truth, users required mighty hardware by the standards of the time (TWO floppy drives!), and hardly anybody bought it. But it laid the template for what would, within a decade, become world-conquering software.  Built on MS-DOS, Microsoft's operating system empowered users to point-and-click rather than type commands, and run multiple programs at once (theoretically: your PC would actually politely freeze most of them…), including Paint, Notepad, Calculator, and a game called Reversi. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly discover how Bill Gates and Paul Allen built their ambition to have a ‘computer in every home'; review Apple's flawed lawsuit against Microsoft for copying their technology; and reveal who was responsible for putting the word Microsoft in front of all their product names…  Further Reading: • ‘Microsoft Windows 1.0, where it all began (pictures)' (CNET, 2013): https://www.cnet.com/pictures/microsoft-windows-1-0-where-it-all-began-pictures/ • ‘From Windows 1 to Windows 10: 29 years of Windows evolution' (The Guardian, 2014): https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/oct/02/from-windows-1-to-windows-10-29-years-of-windows-evolution• ‘Microsoft Windows 3.1 promo' (Microsoft, 1986): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyg-DYm7b0A Thanks so much for supporting the show!

Send us a textThis episode features Dr. Sofia Isabel Perazzo (Children's National Hospital) and Dr. Rakesh Rao (St. Louis Children's Hospital) discussing a CHNC Explore analysis of intestinal stricture formation following surgical necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Using 15 years of CHND data, they examined over 2,400 surgical NEC cases, finding an overall stricture incidence of about 31%, with striking inter-center variability (24–38%). Lower gestational age, stoma creation, and combined drainage-laparotomy increased risk, while peritoneal drainage was protective. Hispanic ethnicity was associated with lower risk. Although their predictive model (AUC 0.67) was modest, the findings offer valuable benchmarks for parent counseling, quality improvement, and hypothesis generation.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.
