Podcasts about Chamonix

Cet épisode s'inscrit dans une série de rencontres avec des patrons de sociétés du CAC 40.Sur GDIY nous recevons habituellement uniquement des personnes qui se sont lancées par elles-mêmes : des entrepreneurs, artistes, sportifs…Avec cette série, j'ai pour ambition de découvrir et comprendre comment s'opèrent de tels mastodontes depuis l'intérieur, sur du temps long. Au-delà des éléments de langage, au-delà de la politique, au-delà des clichés.Tout le monde connaît Saint-Gobain, mais personne ne sait vraiment ce que fait ce géant.De l'industrie ? De la construction ? De la rénovation ? Oui mais pas que.Benoit Bazin, arrivé dans la maison en 1999, à la direction générale depuis 2019 et aujourd'hui PDG clame fièrement son ambition : “être le leader mondial de la construction durable”.En 360 ans, une verrerie fondée sur commande de Louis XIV est devenue l'un des groupes les plus tentaculaires du CAC 40, capable aussi bien de déposer douze couches atomiques sur du verre pour réaliser le cockpit du Rafale que de produire et distribuer chaque année des millions de plaques de placo.Depuis qu'il a les rênes du groupe en main, Benoit a entrepris et réussi deux restructurations extrêmement lourdes.La première est financière.Dès 2019, il choisit de se séparer d'un quart des activités du groupe. Il cède l'équivalent de 10 des 40 milliards d'euros de chiffre d'affaires de l'époque et se lance dans une série d'acquisitions préparées en amont.La seconde est humaine.Benoit retourne complètement la gouvernance du groupe et met fin à une organisation classique par métier. À la place, il nomme un ou une responsable par pays qui opère toutes les activités du groupe sur son territoire, gère ses propres équipes, ses politiques tarifaires, ses canaux de distribution et jusqu'à 10 millions d'investissement, peut implanter une nouvelle usine sans en référer à Paris.Témoin du succès de ces deux chantiers, le cours de bourse de Saint-Gobain a triplé depuis le début de l'ère Bazin.Benoit revient sur ces années de transformation et sur les défis auxquels Saint-Gobain doit aujourd'hui faire face : continuer la transition vers le bas carbone, déployer l'IA dans tout le groupe et innover malgré l'instabilité politique et la fragmentation de l'Europe.Une discussion sincère, avec un homme calme et méthodique, à la tête de la plus vieille entreprise du CAC 40.Vous pouvez suivre Benoit sur LinkedIn.Profitez de 10% de réduction pendant 1 mois sur le site de Point P avec le code GDIY10 : https://www.pointp.fr/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=generation-gdiy-benoit-bazin&wiz_content=podcast-gdiy&wiz_term=partVous souhaitez sponsoriser Génération Do It Yourself ou nous proposer un partenariat ?Contactez mon label Orso Media via ce formulaire.TIMELINE:00:00:00 : Vendre un quart de ses activités et dire au revoir à 10 milliards d'euros de CA00:09:25 : Le triptyque à surveiller pour repérer les talents00:22:13 : Chamonix : premier témoin du changement climatique00:26:42 : "La construction c'est 35% du CO2 émis", comment changer les choses ?00:35:39 : MaPrimeRénov' : énième exemple d'une bonne idée très mal exécutée00:42:46 : Allemands, Pays nordiques, USA : où sont les meilleurs modèles pour nos constructions ?00:49:36 : Avancer malgré l'instabilité politique00:57:40 : "On a absolument besoin d'un vrai marché européen unique"01:03:47 : L'importance d'avoir des ingénieurs, beaucoup d'ingénieurs01:07:28 : "La dépense publique dysfonctionne, ça ne peut pas durer trop longtemps"01:18:23 : Repenser de A à Z l'organisation d'un groupe de 160 000 collaborateurs01:30:40 : Allouer son capital aux bons endroits01:37:05 : Les coulisses d'une acquisition record à 2,7 milliards d'euros01:52:46 : Ses clés pour réussir une intégration01:59:08 : Les grands principes de management de Benoit02:03:12 : Pourquoi l'industrie est en retard sur l'adoption de l'IA ?02:10:28 : Rester coté au CAC 40 ou céder aux sirènes de la bourse américaine ?02:15:15 : Tripler son cours de bourse en 5 ansLes anciens épisodes de GDIY mentionnés : #511 - Camille Jaccoux - Black Crows - L'icône de la culture ski à la française#388 - Benoit Lemaignan - Verkor - “Pour avoir de l'impact climatique il faut aller vite et fort”#505 - Mingpo Cai - Cathay Capital - De la chine profonde aux sommets du capital-investissementNous avons parlé de :Saint-GobainLe Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyÉcole nationale des ponts et chausséesL'écroulement de la face ouest des Drus en 2005Point PLe Diagnostic de Performance ÉnergétiqueNotre film “Comment la Chine est devenue imbattable ?”Le rachat de l'industrielle australien CSR par Saint-Gobain pour 2,7 milliards d'eurosAcquisition de ChrysoLes recommandations de lecture :Voies de passage - Benoit Bazin et Laurent BergerEt la lumière fut - Jacques LusseyranUn grand MERCI à nos sponsors : Squarespace : https://squarespace.com/doitQonto: https://qonto.com/r/2i7tk9 Brevo: brevo.com/doit eToro: https://bit.ly/3GTSh0k Payfit: payfit.com Club Med : clubmed.frCuure : https://cuure.com/product-onely (code DOIT)Vous pouvez retrouver la liste de tout le matériel utilisé pour enregistrer nos épisodes sur cette page.Vous souhaitez sponsoriser Génération Do It Yourself ou nous proposer un partenariat ?Contactez mon label Orso Media via ce formulaire.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

L'UTMB 2026 restera comme une édition complètement hors normes.Ben Dhiman sous les 19 heures, Baptiste Chassagne et Caleb Olson au coude-à-coude, dix hommes sous les 20 heures, Blandine L'Hirondel qui s'impose chez les femmes. Sportivement, le niveau n'a probablement jamais semblé aussi élevé.Mais cette édition a aussi été marquée par tout ce qui s'est passé autour : Chamonix sous tension, omniprésence des marques, professionnalisation du trail, questions environnementales et débat sur la croissance de l'événement.Pour ce grand débrief, Guillaume reçoit Joseph Mestrallet, spécialiste de la performance, Vincent Viet, team manager Salomon, et Julien Absalon, double champion olympique de VTT, aujourd'hui traileur et team manager du Team HOKA Alltricks.Que faut-il vraiment retenir de l'UTMB 2026 ?

Fresh off the finish line in Chamonix, Sally recaps her first TDS—one of the most rugged races in the UTMB week—after battling rain, massive climbs, a brutal fall, a badly injured leg, and the loss of her poles. She shares how gratitude, perspective, and repeatedly choosing to take the next step carried her through to the finish line and helped turn a difficult race into a powerful reminder that feeling weak doesn't mean you have to quit! It's a long one, but it is worth it!

Derrière un ultra, il n'y a jamais vraiment qu'une seule personne qui court.Il y a aussi celles et ceux qui attendent, organisent, rassurent, suivent un point GPS au milieu de la nuit et apprennent à vivre avec le rêve de l'autre.À Chamonix, pendant la semaine de l'UTMB, Guillaume reçoit Alix Noblat, compagne de Mathieu Blanchard, Justine Carrel, compagne d'Arthur Joyeux-Bouillon, et Mathieu Masbernard, compagnon de Blandine l'Hirondel.Ensemble, ils racontent ce que le trail de haut niveau fait au couple : les sacrifices, les journées d'assistance, la peur pendant les courses, mais aussi les aventures extraordinaires vécues à deux.Comment trouver sa place dans le projet de l'autre ? Que change l'arrivée d'un enfant ? Et surtout, soutenir quelqu'un, est-ce toujours l'encourager à continuer ?Un épisode intime, drôle et sincère sur celles et ceux que l'on voit rarement derrière le dossard.Un épisode enregistré à la DLTDC House, en collaboration avec Shokz.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

A legend of the sport, Joe Grant joins us in our Chamonix studio. We discuss the early days of UTMB and Tor des Géants, his relationship with Roch Horton and stories from the Kroger's Canteen aid station at Hardrock, the influence of Matt Carpenter on his approach to ultrarunning, and why he thinks running media too often puts the act of running ahead of the landscapes it moves through.Partners:Precision Fuel and Hydration - use code SINGLETRACK at checkout for 15% off your next orderNorda - check out the 005: the lightest, fastest, most stable trail racing shoe ever madeRaide - Making equipment for efficient human-powered movement in the mountains Support the show

Send us Fan MailUTMB week has a way of making trail running feel bigger than sport. The streets of Chamonix fill up, legends stroll past like it's normal, and suddenly a 60K like OCC feels like the center of the universe. We're back with Nick Tusa to break down why this year's OCC field looks so deep, how the course changes keep reshaping the short trail world, and why tactics matter as much as fitness when everyone's fast.We dig into the men's side with a real focus on decision-making: who can stay patient, who risks detonating early, and why “letting guys go” might be the difference between a podium and a long walk home. We talk veterans with course reps, skyrunning talent jumping in, and the Americans we're most curious about when the pace goes nuclear. Then we pivot to the women's race, where one question hangs over everything: how do you beat someone who doesn't crack? We lay out what it would take to pressure Tove Alexandersson, who has the downhill and durability to try it, and why Lauren Gregory vs the field could turn into a defining moment.After OCC, we zoom out to UTMB and CCC for the biggest storylines of the week: Jim and Kilian after Western States DNFs, Ben Dhiman's closing problem, and the women's title fight with Ruth Croft and Courtney Dauwalter. If you're building fantasy picks, planning your livestream schedule, or just want sharper context before the starts, this one is for you.

Brett Hornig joins me in our Chamonix studio to preview the men's and women's fields at the 2026 OCC, part of the UTMB World Series Finals.In both fields, we cover top storylines and what to watch for, we answer some listener mail about the race, provide analysis of top contenders, categorize who we see as candidates for the win, for the podium, and the top 10, and we make bold predictions across a number of other fun categories.Partners:Precision Fuel and Hydration - use code SINGLETRACK at checkout for 15% off your next orderNorda - check out the 005: the lightest, fastest, most stable trail racing shoe ever madeRaide - Making equipment for efficient human-powered movement in the mountains Support the show

Send us Fan MailMont Blanc in the background has a way of rewriting your definition of “normal.” We're checking in with Taylor Stack from Chamonix as UTMB week starts to buzz, and he shares what it feels like to train in a place where even the “easy” routes quietly stack thousands of feet of vertical gain.We talk about the practical reality of Alpine trail running versus Colorado mountain running: bigger relief from a lower start, fewer truly flat miles, and terrain that can surprise you even when the map looks friendly. Taylor also gets into the mental side of being in a legendary venue, the temptation to over-explore, and how he's trying to stay disciplined with a big effort coming up.Then we zoom in on ETC and why racing early in the week is such a gift. Taylor explains how he plans to use the rest of UTMB week to spectate OCC, CCC, and UTMB, and why watching the gear logistics, nutrition, and crewing up close can be the best prep if you want to race OCC next year. We also hit course recon, what elevation profiles miss, the joy of French food on a runner's budget, and what it's like to be just recognizable enough to get stopped for a photo while still holding onto that underdog mindset.If you're training for a mountain race, dreaming of UTMB Chamonix, or curious about ETC, press play, then subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a quick rating and review so we can keep telling these stories.Follow Taylor on IG - @stack_taylorUse code SteepStuff for 20% your cart on Sidas.usFollow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podFollow Sidas USA on IG - @sidas_usa

Send us Fan MailA hamstring injury doesn't just take away fitness. It can mess with your confidence, your decision-making, and even your ability to trust basic sensations like a cramp. Sam Lewis joins us from the Chamonix area to talk about the messy middle of a comeback, right after a hard Sierre-Zinal and just before lining up for ETC near Courmayeur.We get into what it's like to train in the Alps without getting carried away, why UTMB week in Chamonix feels like a mini home for so many trail runners, and how Sam is approaching a short, fast mountain race as a way to reconnect with her roots. She also shares a meaningful shift in her week: pacing an OCC para athlete through Born To Adapt, and what it means to show up as support instead of chasing your own result.Then we go deep on her PhD in philosophy of sport and sport ethics at the University of Idaho. Sam breaks down research on moral reasoning in sport, why win-at-all-costs culture can make people worse at ethical decision-making over time, and how coaches can actively teach better values through reflection and lived-experience focused tools. If you care about trail running culture, coaching, athlete development, and what we sacrifice to win, this one hits hard.If you enjoyed it, subscribe or follow, share the episode with a friend headed to UTMB week, and leave a rating and review so we can keep telling these stories.Follow Sam on IG - (@samkeliiahonui)Use code SteepStuff for 20% your cart on Sidas.usFollow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podFollow Sidas USA on IG - @sidas_usa
