Richard Law-Deeks is Chief Executive Officer of LGPS Central, which, following its current expansion, will be responsible for over 100 bn GBP in pooled local authority pension fund assets. Prior to joining LGPS Central in 2024 he was CEO of the Royal Mail Pensions Trustees Ltd. and prior to that held a series of financial roles, mostly within the local government sphere. We start our discussion with his early study of political science and the rooting in public service that came from his parents. We hear then about his various stepping stones to his current role, many of which involved steep learning curves, change - of both the positive (expansion) and negative (contraction) variety and the public service driver that underpinned many of them. We move then to his current role at LGPS Central, itself the center of huge structural change and we discuss in detail the governance complexities that the new structures present, but hear from Richard why he is very optimistic about the new provisions. We reflect on the enduring appeal of public service, the importance of coaching and what he considers to be his own leadership style. This is a rich and multi-layered discussion that is an honest assessment of the uncertainties that present a moments of great change and the tactics to push through them. This podcast is kindly sponsored by Benefit Street Partners and PIMCO.

This week Nicola and Di chat with the inspiring Olympian Kerri Pottharst OAM. Kerri delivered one of Australia's most iconic sporting moments, when she won Gold with her partner Natalie Cook in beach volleyball, playing in front of 10,000 fans on the sands of Bondi beach at the Sydney 2000 Olympics. However, there’s more to Kerri than just the medals. Beyond being an elite athlete, she’s also a talented speaker, an author, a mindset coach, a commentator and a mum and we loved getting to hear her story in this episode.We chatted to Kerri about how she got started in beach volleyball, which is a remarkable story of turning a rock bottom moment into one of the most incredible chapters of her life. After injuring herself in indoor volleyball, she decided to give beach volleyball a go, despite the fact that she doesn’t even like sand - and the rest is history! Kerri shares so many incredible mindset tips, including how she turned things around after a terrible injury, got clear on her goals, wrote them down, visualised them every day, got the right group of people around her and worked towards achieving her dream. There’s so much we can all learn from Kerri around creating a winning mindset and going after what we want in life! We also chatted about Kerri’s choice to really challenge herself as she got older and compete on SAS Australia - one of the most physically grueling things you can do. She shared how it was important to her to inspire older women and show them that we can still challenge ourselves and try new things as we age. Kerri also opens up about finding love again, and the beautiful way she met her partner while on holiday in Hawaii - it’s a great story you’ll want to hear! This was such an inspiring conversation with Kerri and we were so thrilled to have her with us in the studio. We laughed a lot and felt completely uplifted after talking to her - we hope you do too.

Fleet management may be entering its biggest transformation in decades. According to NAFA CEO Bill Schankel, AI is about to dramatically accelerate the fleet industry, and the leaders who adapt first will have a massive advantage. In this episode of The Fleet Success Show, Marc Canton, VP of Fleet Strategy at RTA Fleet, and Bill Schankel break down why fleet management is changing faster than ever before, including: ✅ Why AI could “leapfrog” the fleet industry ✅ Why annual training models may already be obsolete ✅ The real risk of falling behind on technology adoption ✅ Why technician shortages are forcing operational change ✅ The surprising growth of NAFA and this year's record-breaking I&E event ✅ The future of fleet leadership, safety, and industry collaboration Marc also shares his perspective that fleet management has historically lagged behind other industries technologically, but that AI may rapidly close that gap over the next few years. This conversation is packed with insights for: Fleet managers Public works leaders Government fleets Transportation directors Maintenance leaders Fleet technicians Operations executives Anyone responsible for keeping essential services running If you work in fleet, this episode will challenge how you think about the future of the industry.

AirAsia places a large A220 order, a Frontier jet collides with a pedestrian, Boeing hopes for a mega-deal in China, power banks in the cabin are in the cross-hairs, the Senate hopes to save the last three Tomcats, and FedEx plans to return MD-11s to service. Also, preliminary information about AvCon 2027, upcoming airshows and fly-ins, and a detailed explanation of weight and balance for airliners. Aviation News Air Asia orders for 150 A220s, giving program a big boost; launches high density version AirAsia becomes the launch customer for a 160 PAX high-density version of the Airbus A220 currently under development. The order from the Malaysian LCC brings total A220 orders to more than 1,000. Airbus wants to increase the production rate to 14 per month, and this order will help. Deliveries could begin in late 2027 or early 2028. Credit: Airbus Tony Fernandes, Chief Executive Officer of Capital A (the holding company of AirAsia), said “My philosophy has been built on a very strong network. Two of the driving factors of AirAsia's network are that 60% of our routes are routes that were never done before. We go into secondary and tertiary cities. And the second underlying principle of what we do is frequency. So, obviously, we've bought a lot of A321s, which have 244 seats. Not every route pairing could fill 244 seats.” Person who jumped perimeter fence is hit and killed by Frontier plane during takeoff on Denver runway, airport says A person crossed the perimeter fence and a runway at Denver International Airport and was subsequently struck and killed by a departing Frontier Airlines plane, Flight 4345. The flight was aborted, and a brief engine fire was extinguished. Twelve people reported minor injuries in the evacuation, and five were taken to local hospitals. Potential 600-aircraft Boeing mega-order from China hinges on Trump-Xi summit President Donald Trump's business delegation is visiting China, and Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg is reportedly attending. Thirteen Chinese domestic carriers operate 97 737 MAX aircraft, and Boeing is hopeful that with Trump's help, as many as 500 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft and about 100 widebody jets can be ordered. In April 2026, Ortberg said, “Without the administration's support, I don't think we'll see any near-term large orders out of China. It really is something that would be tied to the effort from the administration.” The CAAC does not simply rubber-stamp Western approvals. It runs a parallel, sovereign certification process based on the Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement (BASA) signed by the US and China in 2005, with the operational details specified in the Implementation Procedures for Airworthiness (IPA). Airlines Are Cracking Down on Portable Power Banks According to ICAO, power banks caused more reported airplane fires and thermal runaway incidents than any other lithium-battery device in 2025. FAA data shows that airlines reported lithium battery events involving fire, smoke, or extreme heat nearly twice a week on average in 2025. Airlines ban power banks in checked luggage and are now implementing new rules for these devices brought on board. ‘Maverick Act' saves last 3 F-14 Tomcats from destruction The US Navy has just three remaining F-14D Tomcats. The aircraft were retired in 2006, but the U.S. Senate wants to ensure that those three jets survive and maybe even fly. S. 4161, the Maverick Act, passed by the Senate but not yet enacted, authorizes the Secretary of the Navy to transfer the three F-14D Tomcats to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center Commission in Huntsville, Alabama. The Commission could put the aircraft on display or operate them at “an airshow … or a commemorative event to preserve United States naval aviation heritage.” FedEx's MD-11 comeback to start with short cargo flight to Miami FedEx hopes to repair and return to service 29 grounded MD-11 freighter aircraft. The company proposes to send technicians to 16 locations worldwide, where they will remove the engine pylons and transport them to maintenance facilities in Indianapolis and Memphis. There, Boeing redesigned bearings will be installed, and the pylons will be returned to the aircraft. MD-11 operations were halted after the November 4, 2025, crash of UPS Flight 2976 in Louisville, Kentucky. See: FAA Ends MD-11 Grounding After Boeing Review Mentioned AvCon is billed as “The world's only convention built for aviation fans by aviation creators.” The organizers say,  “Based on the success of 2026, we've extended this – so for THREE amazing days, we're taking over the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Orlando, Florida for panels, merch, meet-ups, and good old-fashioned AvGeek fun.

Most architecture, engineering, and construction firms are so focused on building things that they forget to build their brand. Carey Balogh and Lauren Sleeman, the powerhouse duo behind Brand Groupies, have spent their careers fixing exactly that. In this episode, Bryce sits down with both women to talk about what strategic communications actually looks like for leaders in the built environment — and why getting it right changes everything. Carey and Lauren bring a combined perspective that's rare: luxury brand storytelling from Gucci and Hublot meets insider knowledge of the construction and design world. They've used that combination to build a nationally recognized communications firm and a podcast network that ranks in the top 5-10% globally. This conversation covers how leaders in AEC can claim their story, show up with authority, and use podcasting as a real business development tool. This episode is for firm owners, principals, and anyone in the built industry who knows their work is exceptional but struggles to articulate why it matters to the people they want to reach. About Carey Balogh: Carey Balogh is the Founder and Chief Brand Officer of Brand Groupies, a women-owned strategic communications agency serving the built industry, which she founded in 2015. With a background working with luxury brands including Gucci and Hublot, and years of experience abroad and in New York City, Carey brings a global, high-end brand perspective to architecture, design, and real estate. She also launched the Brand Groupies Podcast in 2018 and previously co-founded Frolic!, a children's play space later acquired by the Children's Museum of Manhattan.

Under her leadership, Brand Groupies has grown from a boutique agency into a nationally recognized communications firm. She has been recognized on the New York Real Estate Journal's "Rising Stars" list. LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauren-sleeman-11437982/ What We Cover: Introduction — who Carey and Lauren are and how Brand Groupies came to be What strategic communications actually means for firms in the built environment Why most AEC firms are underselling themselves and how to fix it What luxury brand storytelling from Gucci and Hermès taught them about the built industry Podcasting as an executive visibility and business development tool How to identify what sets your firm apart when you're too close to see it What it looks like to build a brand that outlasts any individual project or client Where to find Brand Groupies and what working with them looks like Key Takeaways: Your brand is already telling a story — the question is whether you're the one telling it Podcasting isn't just content; it's a relationship-building tool that traditional PR can't replicate The firms that win future work are the ones that make their expertise visible before someone needs to hire them What makes luxury brand storytelling transferable to AEC: specificity, consistency, and knowing exactly who you're talking to You don't need a massive marketing budget to build authority — you need clarity and consistency

Richard McGirr interviews George Salas, who breaks down how he's scaled his capital raising by focusing on fund-of-funds relationships instead of relying on traditional retail investors. He explains how partnering with established capital raisers allowed him to bypass building a full marketing engine early on, accelerating growth and helping him raise over $4M. George shares how structuring deals around specific portfolios rather than blind pool funds made his offering more attractive to fund managers, especially when he lacked a long fund track record. He also dives into his process for building relationships through in-person events, refining follow-up systems, and leveraging CRM tools to stay organized. The episode wraps with actionable strategies around email marketing, investor nurturing, and scaling capital through both institutional partnerships and emerging retail channels.

This week on The Business of Watches, we're in Hölstein, Switzerland, near Basel, at the peach-rose colored headquarters of Oris to talk to Rolf Studer, the brand's Chief Executive Officer. One of the 50 largest Swiss brands by sales, Oris is a true independent, making mechanical watches at fair prices, conveying the brand's unique spirit.  Its history dates back to 1904, with boom times in the 1960s that were kick-started by the tireless legal and lobbying work of Dr. Rolf Portmann, an Oris executive (and honorary chairman today), whose efforts led to overturning the Swiss Watch Statute in 1966 that had prevented Oris and many other brands from using Swiss lever escapements in their watch movements. Some 60 years later, Oris is marking that milestone with its Star Edition, an updated version of the Star, the first Oris watch to use a Swiss lever escapement after the law was changed. Portmann and Ulrich Herzog (now the Chairman) went on to lead a management buyout of Oris in 1982, which solidified the company's position as an independent brand. Studer, who has been co-CEO since 2016 and was appointed CEO last month, discusses Oris' positioning and strategy in the current market, where the strong Swiss franc is challenging it and fellow watchmakers. Oris has responded with models that not only offer value to customers but also draw on its storied history and the unique community culture it has fostered. Studer makes the case for why crafted mechanical objects like a Swiss-made watch can deliver the satisfaction and joy that come only from a considered, well-made product, and for how Oris remains committed to making watches and operating in ways that continually express its considered, deeply held values. But first, Hodinkee editor TanTan Wang pops in to talk about Oris and give a brief debrief from Watches and Wonders, noting some of the highlights from the industry's biggest and most important gathering, including offerings from Chopard and Cartier.  Show Notes  1:45 Photo Report The Sights, Watches, And Style Of Watches & Wonders 2026  2:14 Business News: Watches And Wonders Attendance Climbs Despite Geo-Politics And Economic Challenges As Brands Make Case For Value  2:30 Cartier Celebrates 10 Editions of Privé With Six New Editions  3:42 Introducing: The Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual Time Cardinal Points  3:49 Hands-On: The Chopard L.U.C 1860 In Aeruse Blue  4:43 Introducing: Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Chronograph Mystérieux 'Mineral Blue' Reinvents The Central-Counter Chronograph  7:50 Introducing: Oris Star Edition Celebrates A Turning Point In The Brand's History  11:38 Introducing: The Oris Artelier Complication, A Dress Watch Redesigned For A New Generation  16:04 In-Depth: A Visit to Hölstein, The City That Oris Built   19:31 Waldenburg, Switzerland (Wikipedia)  22:19 The Swiss Watch Statute And Dr. Ralph Portmann (Oris)  34:18 Oris and independence with the Bullseye Big Crown Pointer Date(Instagram)   37:11 Prices, Volumes, And Passion: The Business Of Watches In 2025 And What To Expect In 2026  37:40 Oris Calibre 400  39:08 Swiss franc x USD   40:15 The Swiss - Artisans of Time (Swiss Confederation)  42:42 ASUAG (Wikipedia)  43:04 Oris History including ownership changes (Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry)  55:49 The Oris Yangtze Jiangtun Limited Edition
