In this episode, I sit down with Chris Davidson, longtime publisher of Hot Boat Magazine and current publisher of Speedboat Magazine, to reflect on nearly four decades in the performance boating industry. Chris shares his unique journey—from collecting Elvis memorabilia to shaping the voice of high-performance boating media. He discusses the early days of Hot Boat, his family's deep roots in the boating world, and the magazine's pivotal 1989 sale to Larry Flynt's LFP Inc., which transformed it into a nationally recognized publication. Chris also opens up about personal challenges, including a shocking betrayal by his brother Darren in 2006 that led to a hostile takeover of the magazine—and ultimately inspired Chris to launch Speedboat Magazine, now the last remaining print publication in the performance boat world. Throughout the conversation, Chris emphasizes the importance of teamwork, loyalty, and personal connections. He talks about how building relationships in the industry with people like Bob Leach of Eliminator Boats and Ed Borges of Eddie Marine helped him to keep his magazines moving forward. Chris credits much of his success to a trusted crew of contributors, including Kevin Spaise, Jim Wilkes, Greg Shoemaker, Fernando Escovar, and Brett Bayne. It's a candid, behind-the-scenes look at a legacy shaped by passion, perseverance, and the power of relationships.

The amount of material coming out of the black sea is having a big impact on the market. Chris discusses the situation in Ukraine, as well as being able to export to the EU they have made great progress with their exports out of Odessa. They are now back to pre-war levels, meaning they now have their old markets and new European markets to supply. Moving onto mid proteins, distillers is fast becoming the best source of mid proteins and a potential buy. NovaPro continues to grow in terms of volume and demand as it is performing really well in the farms and blending sites it is in. There is also a growing demand because it ticks all the boxes regarding sustainability, deforestation and carbon foot printing. Have a listen to hear Chris talk more in-depth on these topics and what else is happening in the market!As always get in touch with your sales representative or contact us in the office if you have any queries. Legal Disclaimer:Please note: The information provided during this podcast has been prepared for general informational purposes only and does not constitute advice.

The latest episode of FeedCast is brought to you by Chris Davidson our Raw Materials expert and Chris Pickles our Blends Raw Material buyer.  Chris P starts the podcast by talking through the downside we have seen over the last few days with Wheat.  Chris D then moves onto discussing Soya and how it has reacted in the market. Chris touches on the availability of Soya and how we are going to be able to use it in the future.  On the mid protein side of things, there is a risk that as Erith starts to sell its position, prices start to increase which we have seen in the May/Jun/Jul period already. This will then drive demand back to Liverpool which could see the May/Jun/Jul period get quite tight on availability for Rape.  On the Distillers front we are still looking at poor availability from a UK point of view going into the summer. There is spot Vivergo available which is looking good value in comparison and it's worth noting that Imported Maize looks great value price wise compared to where it has been the last few years.  Have a listen to hear the team talk more in-depth on these topics and what else is happening in the market! As always get in touch with your sales representative or contact us in the office if you have any queries.Legal Disclaimer:Please note: The information provided during this podcast has been prepared for general informational purposes only and does not constitute advice.

The latest episode of FeedCast is brought to you by Chris Davidson our Raw Materials expert. Chris introduces our first podcast of 2024 by discussing which products are currently moving in the market. Chris starts with the mid proteins as this is where we are currently seeing the most interest, this is largely driven by Rapemeal where we have seen prices falling steadily. Soya prices have fallen probably more so than Rapemeal but still don't look attractive in comparison. Moving onto Soya, as the rain has increased across Brazil and Argentina the downside projections have stabilised in Brazil and we are seeing a slightly higher view in Argentina. The USDA report we saw last week did drop the Brazilian crop but only by 4 million tonnes down to around 157.With Rape falling there has been a lot of up take of NovaPro for the summer, as it looks great value and is another opportunity to build to some protein cover. Have a listen to hear Chris talk more in-depth on these topics and what else is happening in the market!As always get in touch with your sales representative or contact us in the office if you have any queries.Legal Disclaimer:Please note: The information provided during this podcast has been prepared for general informational purposes only and does not constitute advice.

The latest episode of FeedCast is brought to you by Chris Davidson our Raw Material Expert. Chris starts by discussing what has been happening within the markets particularly regarding Soya and what that looks like going forward. Chris also talks about the election that has taken place in Argentina. Moving onto wheat, the demand for EU wheat is still relatively poor. Russia is still the main exporter and the cheapest on the market. Although prices are starting to firm and the cost of exporting is starting to increase, it hasn't yet filtered through to an increase in EU exports. On the mid proteins, the Rapemeal prices on the nearby have increased dramatically. So certainly on the nearby it's going to be difficult to see any downside this side of Christmas as the demand increases.  Have a listen to hear Chris' thoughts on these topics and what else is happening in the market!As always get in touch with your sales representative or contact us in the office if you have any queries. Legal Disclaimer:Please note: The information provided during this podcast has been prepared for general informational purposes only and does not constitute advice.

The latest episode of FeedCast is brought to you by Chris Davidson our Raw Material Expert and Laura Wildash our Straights Trader. Chris starts by discussing the situation in the US and how it is affecting the market particularly Soya. Chris also mentions how there is potential for the weather in Brazil to present yield cuts.  Laura discusses how the Soya move has now filtered through to the Rapemeal with spot and winter Rapemeal up £15-£20 a tonne. On the protein side of things, Distillers are still looking really good value particularly against Rape. So for those with gaps, Wheat Distillers out of Vivergo is a great thing to look at whilst we still can. The cereal markets still remain fairly quiet and whilst the markets did try to break through, it failed and bounced back up again. It is very much a waiting game when it comes to cereals at the moment meaning there is much more upside risk than downside. Laura touches on the fact that Christmas is only 7 weeks away so it's worth looking at what you may need over the festive period with the extra bank holidays! Have a listen to hear Chris and Laura's thoughts and what else is happening the market!Take a look at our Christmas order dates to make sure you secure your delivery slots:For all products (excluding Performance Products) If you need your order to arrive between 11th December and 5th January you must order by Monday 4th December. Any orders taken later than the 4th December may not be delivered on your required date.Performance ProductsAny pre-Christmas deliveries must be ordered by Friday 24th November.Any early January deliveriesmust be ordered by Tuesday 5th December.As always get in touch with your sales representative or contact us in the office if you have any queries. Legal Disclaimer:Please note: The information provided during this podcast has been prepared for general informational purposes only and does not constitute advice.

The latest episode of FeedCast is brought to you by Chris Davidson our Raw Material Expert. This episode has been delayed in order to wait for the release of the September USDA report. Chris dives into the USDA report, discussing what the end stocks are looking like in the US and around the world before going on to discuss what this will mean for prices. The mid-proteins are seeing some pressure on price, driven by lack of demand during this late summer period. Availability of distillers remains good, with strong production of product from Vivergo. As we move into winter, mid-proteins look good value and will likely get harder to source once winter demand kicks in.Overall, our view hasn't particularly changed after the USDA report. Soya harvest is weeks away and could add some pressure, whilst cereals and mid-proteins have gone through a period of relatively strong availability at harvest but are moving the other way. The risk of things changing in Russia/Ukraine remains constant and could happen instantaneously. Have a listen to hear Chris discuss these topics in-depth!  As always get in touch with your sales representative or contact us in the office if you have any queries. Legal Disclaimer:Please note: The information provided during this podcast has been prepared for general informational purposes only and does not constitute advice.

Also touching on the recent concerning events that have taken place in both Ukraine and Russia and how this will affect exports in the future. Moving onto the protein side of things, we are sat waiting for the US harvest to get here. We remain relatively tight from a supplier point of view after the low South American crop this year. It's a waiting game in regards to the weather as we head towards harvest. Rapemeal is feeling relatively comfortable at the minute, seed availability seems fine and crushing is beginning to improve. We are still tight on nearby availability particularly in the south but it is gradually easing off. On the distillers side of things, we are still waiting on prices from Vivergo for the winter but we are seeing some competitive offers for the imported products as well as the Ensus product. Almost weekly, we are seeing escalations in some shape or form and there will come a point where markets start to price in risk. Right now there is readily available wheats but as we start to move into Sept/Oct and move away from those harvest points, the focus comes down to what happens if we can't get all of the material out of Ukraine that's been produced. As always get in touch with your sales representative or contact us in the office if you have any queries. Have a listen to hear Chris discuss these topics in-depth!Legal Disclaimer:Please note: The information provided during this podcast has been prepared for general informational purposes only and does not constitute advice.

However, that is often the best approach to take. Honesty and being a sounding board that helps a customer decide on project feasibility before you even start are valuable skills. A customer that you turn away for the right reasons will always lead to better matches and big wins in the future. That is where those of us steeped in IT knowledge can shine. We provide a guided journey through the dangerous waters of technology projects. About Chris He started working in IT 40 years ago. That was before the term 'information technology' existed.

This episode starts a new discussion with author and technologist Chris Davidson as we dive into technology and disruptions. We look at how IT has evolved and the recent big steps that emerged from disruptive times. He has a few decades of experience in the IT world and a unique perspective on how we got here and where we are going. Technology and Disruptions - Pandemic Lessons The recent pandemic launched several software platforms, including Zoom. There is a link between the growth of technology and disruptions that was made very clear during that time. Of course, it is not all smooth sailing. There are bumps and sometimes even canyons along the way. Chris shares some stories about what he witnessed and some incredibly public "ah-ha" moments for technology companies. Pervasive technology also often needs tight security. About Chris He started working in IT 40 years ago. That was before the term 'information technology' existed.

Learn more about Chris Davidson and his services at https://www.activepresence.com/   Why Your Website Doesn't Work ----- Excerpts from this conversation with Chris Davidson 02:24 The biggest reason is weak target focus. That's the biggest reason there isn't a strong focus on exactly what their intended, perfect customer or client is. And that means that there then isn't enough information about any product or service they're selling. There can't be because they haven't got in mind a clear idea of who their their perfect client is. Now, this is making an assumption, of course, that all the other underlying foundations are in good shape. They may be they might not be you know that you can't tell from looking at a house, whether the foundations are in good shape. That's why you have it surveyed before you buy it. So there is a number of steps that one could go through a number of tears, five, in fact, but the biggest issue, the biggest issue is this weak target focus, weak target focus, and let's come back to those tears in a moment. But first, let's have a clear understanding of what you mean by weak target focus people. So people come to my website, and I'm offering coaching for executive presentations. What's wrong with that? Yeah, so there's nothing wrong with that, George, that is, that is okay. You know, that is your intended message, no pun intended. That is your intended message, isn't it? That you offer presentation training for executive? Okay, that's clear. That's clear. But I might say, Well, what sort of markets, George do your, most of your clients from? And you might respond by saying, Oh, they're spread across all these sectors? Or you might say, well, actually, Chris, you know, 80% of my business comes from the finance sector for just for the sake of example, right? And then I might say, Well, if that's the case, George, why don't you just go all out and say, I do executive presentation coaching for finance executives, because if you then focus all of your marketing efforts on that particular that niche, you're going to get the other 20% Anyway, they're gonna get caught up in the wake of the passing ship and dragged along and you can decide whether you Want to service them how you want to service them as and when they arrive. But the sharper you make the point, the deeper it's going to dig in. So I think that would be the point I would make to anybody out there, I would just come back to them and say, look, what is your intended message? And who is it really for? Is it really cross sector? Or, actually is 80% of your business coming from SME sized businesses? Okay, in what sector? Well, most of its in most of it actually thinking about his professional services? Okay, well, then let's just do that. It's very rare that you're gonna come across somebody who is genuinely so spread out that they're picking up business equally from all sectors, you know, it doesn't happen that way. Because, you know, people get referred to one another. And what have you is that always there's a, there's always, if you dig into the numbers, there's always a sector in the lead somewhere. And why not just focus on that. ----- ----more---- Your host is George Torok George is a specialist in executive communication skills. That includes conversation and presentation.

When examined at the basic level the advice is given by those who will not be involved in the conflict. Parents tell their kids “never throw the first punch” and Military Officers issue orders for their troops to “fire only if fired upon”. In both of the previous examples, the parent or the military officer, neither party is likely to be in actual physical jeopardy when their advice is applied. Nonetheless, telling others to exercise restraint, even to the point of putting them in harm's way, is on the face both reasonable and civilized. In a perfect world, the first punch doesn't maim you and the first incoming rounds don't kill you. Thus, exercising restraint puts one on the moral high ground. However, is this strategy valid or does it simply embolden and enable the aggressor? (Click Here for Full Article)

#167 Será mesmo melhor queimar do que desparecer lentamente, como dizia Neil Young? No Boia 167, o Trio Ternura dos podcasts de surfe, Júlio Adler, Bruno Bocayuva e João Valente, lamentam a estúpida e prematura morte do genial australiano Chris Davidson, e ponderam os paradoxos e incoerências da romantização dos estilos de vida mais desregrados do surfe. Não é uma conversa alegre, mas é necessária. O objetivo não é responder e sim, questionar. O episódio é assombrado por esse e outros fantasmas, começando com a música do funkeiro de um disco só, Ike White, preso por assassinato, numa história que vale a pena escutar e um som que vale mais do que a pena ouvir. Convidamos o bem-humorado e criativo diretor Bruno Zanin para jogar luz na ida precoce do Kalani David. Citamos Tom Curren escrevendo sobre Davo e escutamos Renato Hickel e Fabinho Gouveia, companheiros de Tour por muitos, longos e memoráveis anos, relembrando o cara que ficou com a fama de Melhor Bebedor do Tour, um título que agora surge revestido de tragédia. E como um urubu só não faz um funeral, ainda relembramos os saxofonista Pharaoh Sanders, expoente máximo do spiritual jazz, que também nos deixou por esses dias.
