Een onderneming opstarten, is een ervaring waar je gigantisch veel uit leert, ook als je niet helemaal tot de finish gaat. Neem nu het statuut van student-ondernemer, dat biedt ontzettend veel mogelijkheden om te experimenteren en te leren op jonge leeftijd. Van jongs af kunnen ouders een ondernemende geest stimuleren bij hun kinderen. Badpak vergeten? Zelf oplossen. Van dat uurtje aan de rand van het zwembad te zitten, leren die kinderen meer dan van ouders die nog snel de zwemzak gaan droppen op school. Bij ondernemers vertrekt alles van de facturen. Zo snel mogelijk het factuur uitsturen, achter de betaling van die facturen aan zitten, de juiste prijs berekenen voor een bepaald product of dienstverlening,… Als dat niet goed zit, dan zullen ondernemers belasting betalen op winsten waarvan ze de cash nooit op hun rekening hebben zien verschijnen. Verkopen, verkopen, verkopen is het adagio van veel ondernemerscoaches. De omzet opkrikken van 100.000 euro naar 1 miljoen euro lijkt wel de ultieme doelstelling, terwijl het eigenlijk om de marge draait. Ondernemers hebben beter wat minder omzet, waar ze meer nettowinst van overhouden. De omzet opkrikken kan ook door veel kosten te maken, maar dan hou je aan het einde van de rit weinig of zelfs helemaal geen winst over. De winst is de opbrengsten min de kosten. Je kunt ook je winst verhogen door te snoeien in de kosten. In Trends podcasts vind je alle podcasts van Trends en Trends Z, netjes geordend volgens publicatie.

Laurent Kretz a reçu Mathieu Besogne, CEO de Moto-privée, pour revenir sur le parcours de son entreprise. Fondée en 2018, Moto-privée était une entreprise de ventes privées qui a connu une croissance rapide : jusqu'à 1,3 M€ de chiffre d'affaires et +55 % de croissance annuelle. Mais derrière cette réussite se cachent quelques turbulences : six sauvetages de faillite en six ans, un cofondateur qui disparaît du jour au lendemain, une trésorerie à 0… À l'été 2025, l'entreprise est liquidée. Dans cet épisode, Mathieu raconte sans filtre ses erreurs, ses décisions et ce qu'il a appris en “sachant perdre”. Comment choisir ses associés, gérer sa trésorerie, travailler la marge avant le volume, et surtout savoir s'arrêter à temps. Au programme : 00:00:00 - Introduction00:06:04 - L'idée du modèle “vente privée”00:11:05 - Construire avec peu de moyens00:16:06 - La débrouille tech à 9 000 €00:21:07 - Les défis entre associés00:26:10 - Courir après le temps (et la trésorerie)00:31:10 - La première levée de fonds00:36:11 - Crowdfunding 00:41:12 - Un modèle économique sans stock00:46:12 - Le moment de la liquidation00:51:13 - Rebondir après la crise00:56:15 - Conclusion et leçons de parcoursEt quelques dernières infos à vous partager :Suivez Le Panier sur Instagram @lepanier.podcast !Inscrivez- vous à la newsletter sur lepanier.io pour cartonner en e-comm !Écoutez les épisodes sur Apple Podcasts, Spotify ou encore Podcast AddictHébergé par Audiomeans.

Most founders underestimate how much strategy, preparation, and marketing it actually takes to run a successful Reg CF or Reg A+ crowdfunding campaign. Legal compliance matters — but according to attorney Marty Tate, one of the most respected experts in regulated investment crowdfunding, momentum and marketing ultimately determine whether your raise succeeds or fails. In this episode of Test. Optimize. Scale., Marty breaks down the real mechanics behind Reg CF, Reg D, and Reg A+; the timelines founders should expect; what derails campaigns; and why only a small percentage of issuers ever hit seven figures. Whether you're exploring your first crowdfunding raise or preparing to scale into a larger Reg A+, this conversation will help you set your campaign up the right way and avoid the costly mistakes first-time issuers usually make.
Wie ehrlich ist Berlins Verkehrspolitik wirklich?Nach der Anhörung zum Verkehrsentscheid im Abgeordnetenhaus sprechen wir mit Heiner von Marschall, Landesvorsitzender des VCD Nordost, über seine Eindrücke aus dem Mobilitätsausschuss – und über die politische Dynamik in Hinsicht auf die AGH-Wahl im Herbst 2026, die dort sichtbar wurde.Heiner schildert, wie Fraktionen und Interessenvertreter einhellig die Ziele der Verkehrswende bejahten – saubere Luft, weniger Verkehrstote, sichere Schulwege – und sie im selben Atemzug politisch ausbremsten. Zwischen Lippenbekenntnis und Blockade, so sein Fazit, klafft eine wachsende Lücke.Wir sprechen überdie Strategie des Eskalierens: wie Konfliktlinien gerade in der für so viele emotionalen Verkehrspolitik bewusst geschärft werden, um politische Mobilisierung zu erzeugen,den fehlenden gemeinsamen Kurs der Verbände und Initiativen, die bei aller inhaltlichen Übereinstimmung oft nicht mit einer Stimme auftreten,und die Frage, wie Vertrauen und Gesprächsfähigkeit zwischen Zivilgesellschaft und Politik wiederhergestellt werden können.Es geht in dieser Folge um mehr als Mobilitätspolitik – nämlich um den Zustand des politischen Diskurses in Berlin.Eine Folge über Verantwortung, Glaubwürdigkeit und die schwierige Balance zwischen Haltung und Zusammenarbeit.Neugierig geworden?

Founded in 2013, Crowd Street helped popularize online access to commercial real estate. Now CEO John Imbriglia is steering a 2.0 strategy: an institutional-grade private markets platform spanning private equity, private credit, venture capital, and CRE—with lower minimums, improved IRA flows, and heavy investment in education, diligence, and UX. John details Crowd Street's scale to date (~300K members, ~30K investors, ~$4.5B raised in CRE), the “supply–demand–loyalty” framework driving the rebuild, a new omnichannel acquisition push, and partnering with Callan (advisor to >$4T AUM institutions) to help source and select managers. We cover feeder/registered fund structures (1099s, no capital calls) that bring minimums to five figures for accredited investors, the evolving role of direct CRE deals, and how better IRA integrations reduce friction. If you want a practical roadmap to accessing institutional-style alternatives—from mid-market credit to diversified PE/VC—this one's for you.Highlights include…Crowd Street's evolution: CRE pioneer → full private-markets platformSupply–Demand–Loyalty: the 2.0 operating modelWhy education & diligence lead the funnel (with Callan as advisor)Product access: feeder/registered/interval funds, 1099s, five-figure minsKeeping direct CRE while adding PE, credit, and VC optionsOmnichannel growth: targeted campaigns in Pittsburgh & BostonBetter IRA experience via an integrated self-directed partner

Feinherb & Spritzig | Alles zu den BR Volleys auf einem Deckel
Diese Folge wird zwischen den Ohren entschieden! Denn alles, was die Saisonvorschau so hervorbrachte, ist Schnee und Helmut Kohl von gestern. In einigen Kanälen muss die Podcast-Crew zurückrudern, in anderen treibt sie dem Horizont der Weisheit entgegen. Die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse nach den ersten Bundesliga-Wochen zusammengefasst: Die BR Volleys waren nach Spiel eins übersättigt, also muss Kaweh zum Buzzerboy mutieren. Berliner Heimspiele steigen ab sofort nur noch in Hildesheim. Beim Sorgenkind Dachau kann nur ein Crowdfunding für Tobi Krick helfen (als Außenangreifer). In Düren ist Brandschutz relevant und es entsteht ein Engelsquadrat – ist das echt oder brüchig? Bei Hebar sind die Lichter ausgegangen. Und: Die GOATS mischen mit. Also auf geht's Ziegen, kämpfen und siegen!

Voor zelfstandigen in bijberoep of startende ondernemers met weinig inkomsten zullen accountants of boekhouders niet aandringen om een vennootschap op te richten. Vanuit een fiscaal oogpunt wordt het bij meer inkomsten interessanter om een vennootschap op te richten. De belastingtarieven in de vennootschapsbelasting liggen lager (20 of 25%) dan in de personenbelasting (25, 40, 45 of 50%). Advocaten zullen altijd adviseren om meteen een vennootschap op te richten. Dat advies heeft niet zozeer te maken met belastingen, maar wel met aansprakelijkheid. Bij aansprakelijkheid denken wij aan foute en schade die we berokkenen, maar in het geval van ondernemers gaat het ook om insolventie. Als de onderneming failliet gaat, maakt het een wereld van verschil of de ondernemer een vennootschap heeft, of niet, en welke vennootschap. Met een vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid zoals een bv of een nv kunnen de schuldeisers van uw onderneming via een deurwaarder uw gezinswoning niet leeghalen op zoek naar hun geld. Zonder vennootschap of met een vennootschap met onbeperkte aansprakelijkheid kan dat wel. Ze kunnen zelfs de sleutels van uw woning opeisen, tenzij u via een verklaring bij de notaris deze op voorhand hebt veilig gesteld. In Trends podcasts vind je alle podcasts van Trends en Trends Z, netjes geordend volgens publicatie.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with manifestation expert Nick Breau to explore the mechanics behind creating the reality you want, without the struggle, force, or confusion that trips so many of us up.Nick shares his journey from tech startup acquisition to becoming a sought-after manifestation coach who's had multiple seven-figure manifestations and has sat in the hot seat with Abraham Hicks over a dozen times.

On today's episode, we welcome the dynamic duo, Lily Yasuda and Michael Wolfe, two inspiring filmmakers who have decided to take the road less traveled by creating their own feature film, Like Love. Their journey is one of collaboration, determination, and creativity—filled with moments of laughter and the occasional unexpected hurdle.From the outset, you'll sense the chemistry between Lily and Michael. They first crossed paths during their time at Chapman University, bonding over vulnerable and humorous writing assignments in a creative writing class. Their shared passion for storytelling sparked not only a friendship but also a creative partnership. This partnership culminated in the idea for Like Love, a project born out of their desire to challenge traditional romantic comedy tropes.“We wanted to tell a story that feels real and honest,” Lily shares, “about friendships and the complexities of human connection.”At its heart, Like Love is what they call an “anti-romantic comedy.” Drawing inspiration from classics like When Harry Met Sally, Lily and Michael aim to flip the script on the genre. Instead of perpetuating the myth that friendship between men and women inevitably leads to romance, their film explores the beauty of platonic relationships. As Michael explains, “It's about two friends trying to fall in love and realizing they're better off as friends. That's the kind of story we don't see enough.”Their filmmaking journey hasn't been without its challenges. Crowdfunding has been a pivotal part of bringing Like Love to life. Lily and Michael describe the process as “a full-time job in itself,” requiring not only meticulous planning but also a willingness to be vulnerable and open about their creative vision. They've leaned heavily on their network for support, finding generosity in unexpected places.“The community in Boise has been incredible,” says Lily. “People here are so supportive, offering locations, resources, and even homemade meals for the crew.”Despite the logistical hurdles, their passion for storytelling shines through. Michael, the film's director, admits that directing a micro-budget feature comes with unique pressures. “We're all wearing multiple hats,” he notes, “but it's an amazing experience to work so closely with a team that believes in the project.” Lily, who also stars as the film's lead, balances her roles as actor, writer, and producer with grace, emphasizing the importance of collaboration in every aspect of the project.As they reflect on their experiences, one thing becomes clear: Like Love is more than just a film; it's a testament to the power of community and perseverance. Lily and Michael hope their story inspires other aspiring filmmakers to take the leap. “Making a movie isn't easy,” Lily acknowledges, “but if you're passionate about your story, you'll find a way to make it happen.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.

In Crowded Out: The True Costs of Crowdfunding Healthcare (MIT Press, 2024), Dr. Nora Kenworthy presents an eye-opening investigation into charitable crowdfunding for healthcare in the United States—and the consequences of allowing healthcare access to be decided by the digital crowd. Over the past decade, charitable crowdfunding has exploded in popularity across the globe. Sites such as GoFundMe, which now boasts a “global community of over 100 million” users, have transformed the ways we seek and offer help. When faced with crises—especially medical ones—Americans are turning to online platforms that promise to connect them to the charity of the crowd. What does this new phenomenon reveal about the changing ways we seek and provide healthcare? In Crowded Out, Dr. Kenworthy examines how charitable crowdfunding so quickly overtook public life, where it is taking us, and who gets left behind by this new platformed economy.Although crowdfunding has become ubiquitous in our lives, it is often misunderstood: rather than a friendly free market “powered by the kindness” of strangers, crowdfunding is powerfully reinforcing inequalities and changing the way Americans think about and access healthcare. Drawing on extensive research and rich storytelling, Crowded Out demonstrates how crowdfunding for health is fueled by—and further reinforces—financial and moral “toxicities” in market-based healthcare systems. It offers a unique and distressing look beneath the surface of some of the most popular charitable platforms and helps to foster thoughtful discussions of how we can better respond to healthcare crises both small and large. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Send us a text! We'd love to hear your thoughts on the show.If you've ever wondered whether self-publishing is “worth it,” or felt overwhelmed by all the moving parts—editing, design, distribution, marketing—this episode is for you. I'm joined by Leanne Janzen of FriesenPress, the author-services arm of Friesens Corporation, a century-old Canadian printer trusted by traditional publishers and indie authors alike. Leanne has worn multiple hats—from publishing specialist to leading a sales team—and she's passionate about demystifying today's publishing landscape so writers can make informed, confident choices.We start by clearing up an old term—“vanity publishing.” In 2025, it's out of date. Leanne breaks the indie space into two practical paths: DIY self-publishing and service-provider self-publishing. With DIY, you're the project manager: you learn what you can, hire freelancers (editor, formatter, cover designer), and quarterback the whole timeline. It can be empowering—but also time-intensive and overwhelming, especially for first-timers. With a reputable service provider, you still retain creative control (yes, you can reject a cover or choose your price!), but you also get a dedicated project manager, pre-vetted editors and designers, and quality checks at each stage so you don't miss critical steps.We dig into costs and transparency. Expect a range: a basic path without editing at FriesenPress sits around $2,200, while a premium, all-in “masterpiece” path (specialty cover, three rounds of editing, promo coaching, social planning, promos) can reach $15,000. Industry-wide, a commonly cited average to produce a quality book is $5–6K—and if you're spending in that zone with a service provider, Leanne says at least one round of editing should be included.
In Crowded Out: The True Costs of Crowdfunding Healthcare (MIT Press, 2024), Dr. Nora Kenworthy presents an eye-opening investigation into charitable crowdfunding for healthcare in the United States—and the consequences of allowing healthcare access to be decided by the digital crowd. Over the past decade, charitable crowdfunding has exploded in popularity across the globe. Sites such as GoFundMe, which now boasts a “global community of over 100 million” users, have transformed the ways we seek and offer help. When faced with crises—especially medical ones—Americans are turning to online platforms that promise to connect them to the charity of the crowd. What does this new phenomenon reveal about the changing ways we seek and provide healthcare? In Crowded Out, Dr. Kenworthy examines how charitable crowdfunding so quickly overtook public life, where it is taking us, and who gets left behind by this new platformed economy.Although crowdfunding has become ubiquitous in our lives, it is often misunderstood: rather than a friendly free market “powered by the kindness” of strangers, crowdfunding is powerfully reinforcing inequalities and changing the way Americans think about and access healthcare. Drawing on extensive research and rich storytelling, Crowded Out demonstrates how crowdfunding for health is fueled by—and further reinforces—financial and moral “toxicities” in market-based healthcare systems. It offers a unique and distressing look beneath the surface of some of the most popular charitable platforms and helps to foster thoughtful discussions of how we can better respond to healthcare crises both small and large. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

What happens when a fundraiser decides to end one of higher ed's most sacred traditions—the senior giving campaign? In this episode, Safaniya sits down with Alex Rodríguez from UC Berkeley, who made the bold move to shut it down and rebuild student giving from the ground up. From pandemic pivots to Mario-inspired metaphors, Alex shares how he turned a once-obligatory tradition into a culture of authentic student philanthropy. Tune in to hear how rethinking generosity, meeting students where they are, and redefining “giving” beyond dollars changed the game entirely.Guest Name: Alex Rodríguez, Assistant Director, Digital Campaigns, University of California, BerkeleyGuest Social: https://www.linkedin.com/in/safaniyastevenson/Guest Bio: Alex Rodríguez engages all generations of the Cal community through digital marketing and social media for crowdfunding and giving days as UC Berkeley's Assistant Director, Digital Campaigns. After overhauling student philanthropy through social content creation and digital giving, Alex now oversees the Crowdfunding program, launching and marketing ~80 projects and raising over $1 million annually. Throughout his different roles at Berkeley, Alex helped pioneer social media strategy in fundraising at his alma mater - he created the school's first Instagram Reel! Alex uses his passion for social media (and chronically online experience) to put the “fun” back in fundraising at Berkeley.Outside of his professional life, Alex loves to express himself creatively through thrifted fashion, dance, and TikTok, and can likely be found listening to K-Pop at any given moment. Alex lives in SoCal with his very photogenic cat, Chromeo Kiwi Lunario (@chromeo.kiwi)! - - - -Connect With Our Host:Safaniya Stevensonhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/safaniyastevenson/ About The Enrollify Podcast Network:Talking Tactics is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

Of je nu als team of als solopreneur aan de slag bent: het is nooit een slecht idee om u in te bedden in een ecosysteem met andere ondernemers die in min of meer dezelfde fase zitten of min of meer in hetzelfde domein actief zijn. Daarvoor kunt u bijvoorbeeld terecht bij gespecialiseerde netwerken, incubatoren of acceleratoren zoals Start it @KBC. Niet elk bedrijf kan terecht bij Start it @KBC. Alleen innovatieve bedrijven maken kans op een plek in het programma. Wat heeft het programma in huis, waardoor ondernemers een versnelling hoger kunnen schakelen? Een netwerk van mentoren, vaak alumni van het programma, en experten, een opleidingsaanbod én een co-working. Het zijn wellicht vooral de peers die ondernemers vooruit stuwen. Toevallige ontmoetingen aan de koffiepot zorgen voor kruisbestuivingen. Collega-ondernemers die bepaalde veronderstellingen of denkbeelden in vraag durven stellen en uitdagen. Net zoals mensen die gewicht willen verliezen bij de diëtist op de weegschaal moeten, moeten de ondernemers aan elkaar rapporteren over hun vooruitgang en het al dan niet halen van de tussentijdse doelstellingen. In Trends podcasts vind je alle podcasts van Trends en Trends Z, netjes geordend volgens publicatie.

In today's episode, Greg Burke, Assistant Professor of Accounting and Business Law at Loyola University Chicago, highlighted a key finding from his research: less than a third of crowdfunding issuers file their required annual reports on time, and fewer than half ever do.Greg explained that this lack of compliance undermines investor trust and market legitimacy. “Investors are looking for regulation crowdfunding annual reports,” he said. “Sometimes they're just not finding it. If investors are demanding it and they're not getting it, it certainly may impact their investment decisions and the potential growth in this market.”The consequences of this gap in transparency are significant. As Greg noted, compliance with annual reporting requirements provides investors with critical information to make better decisions. This transparency fosters trust, encourages repeat investments, and helps attract new capital to the space.Greg's research also uncovered ways to increase compliance. In a field experiment conducted with King's Crowd, a marketing campaign emphasized the regulatory risks of failing to comply with reporting requirements. This simple approach increased compliance by 20%. “A simple email reminder tailored towards emphasizing regulatory risk can make a difference,” Greg said.Platforms and intermediaries also play a critical role. Greg suggested that crowdfunding platforms could incorporate reporting support into their services, either by helping issuers directly or partnering with third-party providers. He noted that the process doesn't have to be costly or complicated. “There are services out there that can provide these reports for less than a thousand dollars,” Greg explained.By addressing this issue, we could unlock the full potential of regulated crowdfunding. Transparent reporting not only satisfies investor demand but also legitimizes the marketplace, opening doors for more diverse founders and innovative solutions to access much-needed capital.Improving compliance with reporting requirements might seem like a small step, but it's a foundational one. As Greg put it, “Any kind of movement in this space to increase reporting compliance only adds legitimacy to the space.”tl;dr:Greg Burke highlights low compliance with annual reporting requirements in the regulated crowdfunding market.Improved compliance fosters investor trust and market growth, benefiting entrepreneurs and diverse founders.Greg's research shows emphasizing regulatory risks can increase reporting compliance by 20%.Crowdfunding platforms and third-party services can simplify compliance for resource-constrained entrepreneurs.Greg's superpower is making complex topics relatable by tailoring messages to his audience's needs.How to Develop Making Complex Concepts Relatable As a SuperpowerGreg's superpower is making complex, seemingly dull topics engaging, relatable, and accessible. As Greg explained, “I think what I've come down to is making seemingly uninteresting, confusing, or unimportant things seem interesting, understandable, and relevant.” He emphasized that the key to this skill lies in understanding the audience, creating an engaging environment, and translating complicated ideas into relatable concepts.Illustrative Story:Greg shared an example from his classroom, where he taught students about safeguarding assets, a topic that might seem boring at first glance. By comparing company practices to personal experiences—like hiding cash from a roommate—he made the concept tangible and easy to understand. Through relatable analogies, Greg transformed a dry academic topic into a conversation his students could connect with and apply.Actionable Tips for Developing the Superpower:Know Your Audience: Understand what matters to the people you're speaking to and tailor your message.Make It Relatable: Use analogies or examples drawn from everyday life to explain complex ideas.Create an Open Environment: Foster a safe, genuine, and engaging space to encourage curiosity and interaction.Observe and Adjust: Pay attention to how people respond to your explanations and refine your approach accordingly.Be Brave: Don't be afraid to try new ways of communicating, even if it doesn't work perfectly the first time.By following Greg's example and advice, you can make “making complex concepts relatable” a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileGreg Burke (he/him):Assistant Professor of Accounting and Business Law, Quinlan School of Business at Loyola University ChicagoAbout Quinlan School of Business at Loyola University Chicago: Loyola University Chicago's business school educates responsible leaders through master's, undergraduate, and executive education.Website: gregory-burke.comOther URL: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=5463161Biographical Information: Greg Burke, Ph.D., CPA, is an Assistant Professor of Accounting at the Quinlan School of Business at Loyola University Chicago, located in the heart of downtown Chicago.
