El “proto” de BMC ¿el comienzo de la era de las ruedas de 32'?

A pesar del verano la actualidad sigue. Y es que cuando las marcas no presentan (muhcas) novedades, algunas deciden darnos la sorpresa con acciones como la que ha hecho BMC en la previa de la Copa del Mundo de Andorra Pal-Arinsal. Y es que la marca suiza puso a su corredor Titouan Carod a probar un prototipo, muy prototipo, con un cuadro “frankestein” con partes de carbono y ampliaciones en forma de racores de aluminio para albergar ruedas de 32”, reubicación del amortiguador y sin logotipos de patrocinio de ningún tipo ya que el montaje no “encajaba” con los acuerdos del equipo (comenzando por los neumáticos Maxxis Aspen de 32” mientras que el equipo usa Pirelli). Además de explicarte un poco cómo ha sido este prototipo y los principales cambios respecto a la BMC Fourstroke de serie que ha sufrido para albergar las ruedas de mayor tamaño, repasamos un poco la historia de la evolución del MTB y los paralelismos y diferencias que vivimos cuando pasamos de 26” a 29” y por qué consideramos que no se están dando los mismos pasos que en aquel momento. En cuanto a la actualidad de producto, Specialized nos ha sorprendido con el lanzamiento de una línea de ropa de alta gama bajo su sello S-Works, tanto en montaña como en carretera. Vittoria ha presentado una nueva gama de neumáticos, hasta 7 modelos diferentes, endurance para gravel. Y siguiendo con esta disciplina, Sportful ha lanzado su primera colección de bolsas con tres modelos: sillín, tubo superior y manillar. Orbea ha presentado novedades en su Laufey y tres nuevos acabados de la Oiz con los nuevos grupos Shimano XTR M9200 Di2 y Deore XT M8200 Di2. MMR también ha presentado un nuevo acabado de su modelo Quercus, la 00 Plus. Por último, cerramos con un aviso de seguridad importante de DT Swiss para los usuarios de sus modelos ERC, CRC y HEC. Este episodio ha sido gracias a Decathlon a través de su marca Van Rysel, presente en el Tour de Francia con las RCR Pro Team y RCR-F del equipo Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Team y que puedes comprar en su versión réplica.

The best CEOs know how to hold the long-term vision—while building the structure and discipline needed to scale sustainably. That's according to Henry Ward, Founder and CEO of Carta, a networked enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform for private capital markets.In this episode, Henry joins host Rodney Bolden to reflect on his founder journey and the leadership lessons he's learned along the way. They discuss “founder mode,” how the founder mindset evolves as a company grows, and how to manage the tension between innovation and operational rigor within a company. They also cover why more companies are staying private longer and how private companies are offering meaningful equity and liquidity to retain top talent, from early-stage startup to late-stage growth.

Private equity funds typically invest in securities, instruments, and assets that are not, and are not expected to become, publicly traded and therefore may require a substantial length of time to realize a return or fully liquidate.

Investors can lose all or a substantial amount of their investment.

Over the past several years, the public has become familiar with the concept of “lawfare,” the process of using the legal system to gain political ends regardless of the validity of the underlying case. Environmentalist groups have long been practitioners of aggressive lawfare, but who exactly is funding litigation challenging the ability of energy companies to make energy? The U.S. Senate suspects that the People's Republic of China may be among them, and so CRC president Scott Walter was invited to testify on the funding of lawfare at a Judiciary Subcommittee hearing titled “Enter the Dragon—China and the Left's Lawfare Against American Energy Dominance.” Scott joins us to discuss his testimony.Scott Walter's Written Testimony to the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee

Send us a textPrincess was just six years old when someone finally spoke up about the abuse she was suffering. That brave act by a Child Reintegration Center alumnus became the first link in a chain of compassionate interventions that would transform her life.Reverend Olivia Fonney, Director of the Child Reintegration Center in Sierra Leone, takes us through Princess's journey from trauma to healing. When Princess first arrived at the CRC, she was understandably confused and frightened. Rather than place her in the dormitory setting of their interim care facility, Reverend Olivia made the compassionate decision to take Princess into her personal quarters - recognizing that institutional care, however well-intentioned, cannot replicate the warmth of a family environment.Despite their best efforts to prepare Princess's biological parents for reunification, initial attempts failed when they couldn't keep her safe from her abuser. This setback led to placement with a foster parent - a nurse who provided Princess with stability, nurturing, and specialized care for her emotional needs. This therapeutic environment became the foundation for Princess's remarkable transformation.Today, Princess is thriving. She's confident, expressive, and truly connected to her family after successfully reunifying with her prepared biological parents. She attends school regularly, has developed a love for reading, and dreams of becoming a teacher. As Reverend Olivia powerfully states, "No child is ever too lost or too broken to find her way back to love and stability."Princess's story reminds us of the critical importance of speaking up when we see abuse, the power of trauma-informed care, and how communities working together can change a child's life trajectory.

ESPP Trends With Carver Edison's Aaron Shapiro

Employee stock purchase plans (ESPPs) aren't just a workplace perk; they're a wealth-building tool with the potential to change lives. That's according to Aaron Shapiro, founder and CEO of Carver Edison, a financial technology company focused on improving employee stock ownership programs. The catch? Employees have to be able to afford to participate—and now they can. Carver Edison and its core technology, Cashless Participation, allows employees to participate in ESPPs without having deductions from their pay. The idea was born out of a challenging conversation Aaron had with his mom. She was a longtime employee at a health insurance company and needed help to make her money grow. Aaron explored her options and realized that by not being able to participate in her company's ESPP, she had missed out on over a million dollars over the course of 10 years. Aaron knew she wasn't alone. So, he and his team developed a solution. Host Rodney Bolden and Aaron discuss the advantage that total rewards leaders and chief human resource officers, or CHROs, have when employees can afford to participate in ESPPs, and how participation has the potential to turn into more engagement, higher retention and greater employee satisfaction, which could also increase enterprise value for shareholders. They discuss how helping unlock equity ownership could help improve someone's quality of life. Visit MorganStanley.com/atwork for more insights on workplace financial benefits.

Luke Gromen: Gold Can be Used to Rebalance the Global Economy Without a World War

Tom welcomes back Luke Gromen of Forest For The Trees back to the show. The discussion delves into complex economic and geopolitical dynamics, focusing on how global powers might navigate a transition away from the dollar-based system towards a neutral reserve asset like gold. He begins by highlighting that the current dollar-centric system is unsustainable due to high deficits and debt levels. A potential solution, he suggests, involves using gold as a neutral reserve asset, which would allow commodities to be priced in multiple currencies and facilitate trade settlements. This shift could create a more balanced and resilient global economic framework. Moving on to geopolitical implications, Gromen notes that the conflict in Ukraine has underscored the limitations of conventional military strategies, shifting the balance of power dynamics. He points out that countries like Russia and China are driving efforts to move away from the dollar system, which necessitates a new economic framework. This transition is not just an economic shift but also a significant geopolitical realignment. Luke emphasizes the importance of incentives for avoiding direct military confrontation with major powers. He explains that such conflicts are strategically unwise due to nuclear deterrence and the deep interdependence of economies. Instead, he argues that negotiating a new economic order aligns with long-term strategic interests and avoids the catastrophic consequences of war. Drawing on historical context, Mr. Gromen observes that the post-World War II debt-based economy is nearing its limits, making it imperative to return to a more sustainable model. He suggests that transitioning to gold as a reserve asset could reboot global economies, fostering stability and growth without resorting to conflict. This approach not only addresses current economic challenges but also positions nations for future prosperity.
