Join Matt as he goes behind the scenes at Fiamma HQ in Milan, uncovering the brand's 80-year journey from humble beginnings to global motorhome accessory giant—and where the future of motorhoming is headed. Celebrating eight decades in business, Fiamma has evolved from making wartime gas cookers to becoming a household name for motorhome awnings, bike racks, and more. Charles Pozzi, Co-Managing Director at Fiamma, shares the fascinating story behind the brand, its future ambitions, and why he believes motorhoming is set for a bright future—even as the industry settles into a “new normal.” Back in the UK, Matt and Keith Gooden dive into major news from Europe: changes to the B driving licence could soon make driving heavier motorhomes much easier. Could Britain be next? Matt shares his predictions. Plus, with Campervan Campout just around the corner, Matt previews what's in store—including his talks and Q&As across the weekend—and reminds you to check your insurance before heading across the Channel (with a whopping 15% discount up for grabs). In this week's Q&A, Matt helps a listener solve a frustrating fuse problem, recommends a cracking sat nav for your motorhome, and clears up once and for all which MOT class your pride and joy really needs.

Nowadays, it's quite easy to get swept up in the negativity around our economic plight. Living costs are a very real concern, as are increasingly unaffordable house prices. But, as Australians, we're also quite fortunate. Our economy has enjoyed an unprecedented run of growth, we're highly educated, we're resource-rich, and we have opportunities – one of which lies in energy creation. As Darren Brown, Co-Managing Director, Renewables Australia at Octopus Investments tells it, there is “a really unique opportunity for Australia to become a superpower in renewable energy”. The conversation highlights the transformative changes in the energy sector, the strategic initiatives underway, and the opportunities for investors in the renewable energy market in Australia. Brown's unique perspective, gained from his experience in both fossil fuels and renewables, provides valuable insights into the industry's evolution and the potential for long-term growth in the renewable energy space.

Jimmy Butler's prowess on the basketball court earned him the nickname “Jimmy Buckets.” As he becomes more well known in the coffee industry, perhaps “Jimmy Barista'' will be just as fitting. A perennial NBA All-Star, Butler revealed himself as a coffee aficionado in 2020 when the league concluded its season in a “bubble” at the Disney World resort in Orlando. He stocked his hotel room with coffee equipment and began making and selling lattes, cortados, espressos and a variety of other coffee drinks to fellow NBA players and staff. But after the season concluded, it quickly became apparent that coffee wasn't just a passing interest for the Texas-born small forward. Over the following months, Butler laid the groundwork for a premium brand that could introduce high quality coffee to mainstream consumers. The result was BIGFACE, Butler's all-purpose brand which  sells coffee beans, branded apparel and other merchandise on its website. Since launching in October 2021, BIGFACE has launched four pop-up stores, including one at the 2022 Miami Open tennis tournament where the company served coffee to players at VIP areas throughout the venue. In an interview featured in this episode, Butler spoke about how he views his foray into the coffee business as a reflection of his competitive personality, the experiential impact of coffee, how the pillars of BIGFACE are based on his personal values and his ultimate goals for the brand.   The episode also features the latest edition of The Maxi Minutes, featuring Maxine Kozler Koven, the co-managing director of Los Angeles-based investment firm LDR Ventures who advises entrepreneurs on how to speak to potential investors about their vision and exit strategy. Show notes: 0:57: Jimmy Butler, Founder, BIGFACE Coffee – Butler sat down with BevNET managing editor Martin Caballero sat down with Butler at the 2022 Speciality Coffee Expo where the NBA star spoke about his cover story in “Barista” magazine, his experience at the annual trade show and his belief that coffee stimulates thoughtful conversations and spurs new relationships. He also discussed why coffee culture is increasingly popular among NBA players, BIGFACE's presence at the 2022 Miami Open, how he's educating himself about coffee preparation and the business of selling coffee. Later, he explained why BIGFACE is akin to a family or fan base, his vision for its development as a lifestyle brand, how he manages the company's growth while maintaining his focus on basketball court and why he loves visiting new cafes when traveling to cities for road games.  17:37: Maxine Kozler Koven, Co-Managing Director, LDR Ventures – Koven spoke about the importance of a first interaction, offered recommendations on how to build an effective professional network and explained why founders need to be realistic and thoughtful about their exit strategies when pitching to investors.

Global markets have been experiencing a lot of volatility lately, leaving many investors wondering how to respond.

We're still responsible for managing the portfolios every day. Every day the markets are open. We have to be doing that and we don't get a rest to think about what must be done." - Kenneth Sleeper [04:30] - "If we didn't have a process, if we didn't have discipline, where would we be? Where would our clients be? It's even more important during this period of volatility." - Kenneth Sleeper [22:27] - "I think the biggest problem investment people have is having a mindset that doesn't make them open to change, that doesn't make them open to what can happen moving outside of their comfort zone." - Kenneth Sleeper  Links  Kenneth Sleeper Ocean Park Asset Management Sierra Investment Management I Won't Back Down by Tom Petty Skip Schweiss Fiserv TD Ameritrade Steven Wilkes National Geographic Market Wizards by Jack Schwager The Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb Mania, Panics, and Crashes by Charles P.
