Iskra verbindet dabei visionäre Markenstrategie mit einem tiefen Verständnis für die Nutzer:innen und die Mechanismen der Plattformökonomie. Sie zeigt eindrücklich, wie man auch etablierte digitale Angebote durch kluge, iterative Schritte und echte Kollaboration zukunftsfähig macht und dabei die Balance zwischen notwendiger Veränderung und Nutzerakzeptanz meistert.Key TakeawaysGroße Veränderungen (wie Rebrandings) gelingen, wenn man sie in kleine, testbare Schritte zerlegt und idealerweise mit lang ersehnten User-Wünschen koppelt.Simple, klare Botschaften gepaart mit strategischer Wiederholung (Frequency-Effekt) sind mächtige Werkzeuge in der Kommunikation von Wandel.Echte Transformation braucht interdisziplinäre Teams, die nicht nur Probleme identifizieren, sondern auch das Mandat und die Mittel haben, sie über Abteilungsgrenzen hinweg zu lösen.Themen unter anderem:Monetarisieren & Skalieren in volatilen ZeitenDisruptions-Story KleinanzeigenZusammenwirken von Produkt & MarketingAI, Automatisierung und AlgorithmenManövrieren im globalen WettbewerbMit freundlicher Unterstützung von PAYBACK.LinkedIn:→ Iskra Velichkova→ Olli Busch→ Martin Boeing-MessingKeywords: Circular Economy, Second Hand, User Experience Design, Change Management, Interdisziplinäre Teams, Markenführung, C2C Marktplatz, B2B Wachstum, Customer Journey Optimierung, Nachhaltiger Konsum, Plattformökonomie, UI Design, Darkmode, Frequency Effect, Markenvertrauen, Kundenzentrierung Hosted on Acast.

'It's not a mental illness. It's actually a creative coping mechanism.'  What's it like to discover other people living in your own head? In Maggie Walters' debut memoir, she describes her life with dissociative identity disorder, formerly known as multiple personality disorder (which remains Maggie's preferred term). After surviving years of abuse as a child, Maggie now lives with 40 alters and has spent much of her adulthood learning to understand herself, as well as how to share her experience with others. In episode 107, she describes living with her alters, how she wrote her memoir, and why, after years of keeping her reality a secret, she's now sharing it with the world.  Maggie Walters lives in the NSW Northern Rivers with her family. As a trauma survivor, she shares her journey towards wholeness, confronting stereotypes around mental health. Her debut memoir, Split, was published in 2024. An early draft of Split was longlisted for the 2022 Richell Emerging Writers Prize. Get your copy of Split from Booktopia or your local bookshop or library.

מתי ההבדלים בין התרבויות הישראלית והאמריקאית יכולים לפגוש אותנו בסביבת העבודה? אילו השפעה יכולה להיות לאותם ההבדלים? ואיך מתגברים עליהם?  כישראלים אנחנו יכולים להיות די בטוחים שאנחנו מכירים את האמריקאים ולחשוב שאנחנו יודעים בדיוק איך לתקשר איתם. אבל האמת היא שכל מה שלמדנו משנים של צפייה בסדרות וסרטים, לא בדיוק מלמד אותנו על הדקויות הרגישות שאנחנו עשויים לפגוש כשנרצה לגייס כסף מקרנות אמריקאיות, או לקיים פגישת עבודה בחברה גלובלית. לישראלים לדוגמה יש נטייה לחשוב שהתרבות האמריקאית היא ״צבועה״ לעומת הישירות הישראלית. זה יכול להיות מקור לאי-הבנות או לתסכול משני הצדדים. בתרבות האמריקאית גם מסתכלים אחרת על ״הגדלת ראש״, על מתן פידבק, ועל גבולות בתקשורת באופן כללי. ואלו רק מספר דוגמאות לפערים בין התרבויות השונות. השבוע בפרק נשמע הרצאה של אמיר שבט, משקיע בקרן Darkmode, יזם ועובד לשעבר בחברות גלובליות כמו מייקרוסופט, גוגל, טוויטר וסלאק. אמיר ישתף בתובנות שלו מעבודה ארוכת שנים מול אמריקאים, יספר על נקודות חיכוך שישראלים נתקלים בהם וגם איך אפשר להתמודד איתן.   לחצו כאן לראות את המצגת של אמיר מההרצאה לחצו כאן לראות את הוידאו המלא של ההרצאה האזינו גם לפרק 192: צעדים ראשונים 5 – גיוס כסף מאנג׳לים (אמיר שבט) מוזמנים להצטרף אל קבוצת הפייסבוק שלנו ולהמשיך את השיח - www.facebook.com/groups/startupforstartup/ ניתן למצוא את כל הפרקים ותכנים נוספים באתר שלנו -   https://www.startupforstartup.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's hustle culture, finding fulfillment while juggling work and life can seem impossible. But what if the answer isn't about balance, but about designing a life where work and fulfillment go hand in hand?  In this episode of Dark Mode, we dive deep with two entrepreneurs who've done just that—Evan Dash, CEO of StoreBound, and Marina Khidekel, founder of Hugimals, a company creating weighted plushies to reduce anxiety. Evan dishes out the truth about grinding in corporate America and realizing that “success” was more about spending time with family than hustling for a corner office. Meanwhile, Marina reveals how turning her personal anxiety into a business idea led to Hugimals becoming a comforting brand for both adults and kids.  We'll cover how these entrepreneurs crafted a fulfilling work-life blend, the reality of building businesses from the ground up, and why chasing balance might not be the solution. Press play now and tune into the journey of finding fulfillment with Evan Dash and Marina Khidekel—you don't want to miss it!  ———————————————————————————————— John Coyle is an expert in simplifying the complex world of eCommerce for business owners and operators.
