It's been an eventful week and this episode of the AJ Bell Money & Markets podcast explores the key reasons behind the global market sell-off and what might happen next. Dan Coatsworth explains why shares slumped and he reveals the total value destroyed on global stock markets and the winners and losers on the FTSE 100. Laith Khalaf reveals why bond markets were showing unusual behaviour and the pair chat about why some companies like Games Workshop and Diageo might not be as badly affected as investors think. [02:50] Dan talks to Morningstar equity strategist Michael Field about what Liberation Day means for European stocks and shares which had a great run in the first quarter of the year. [26:23] If you've been spooked by the market sell-off and are worried about your investments, Dan and Laith offer some reassurance and explain why there is no reason to panic. [35:45] Laith has some interesting statistics on why it can pay to use your ISA allowance at the start of a tax year rather than at the end. [42:30]. Dan finds some interesting trend with AJ Bell customer behaviour during the market sell-off. [46:59]. Finally, Jonathan Maxwell from SDCL Energy Efficiency Income Trust is on the podcast to talk about the Trump administration rolling back green policies and whether that creates a headwind for renewable energy investors. [54:55].

As former Global Head of Marketing at TikTok, Nick Tran transformed the company from an upstart app into a global cultural phenomenon, earning it Ad Age's Marketer of the Year in 2021. A marketing executive with a knack for steering high visibility brands, he also drove revivals at Hulu, Samsung, and Taco Bell, always aiming to keep companies culturally on point.  Now, he's stepping into a new chapter as president and CMO of a spirits venture backed by Diageo's Ciroc and LeBron James's tequila brand, Lobos 1707—blending celebrity, storytelling, and lifestyle marketing into one bold move. Beyond the corporate world, Nick invests in consumer disruptors like Liquid Death, Away, and Olipop, and even found time to executive-produce the acclaimed Jeen-Yuhs trilogy. In his conversation with Ryan, Nick explains why CMOs must “unlearn marketing” and shares how he balances creative risk-taking with the need for performance. He also reveals how feeding children carrots became his favorite metaphor for a truly balanced brand strategy and opens up about his pivot to fatherhood in London.

Find out in this week's PlayingFTSE Show!This show was recorded on March 30th. Fortunately, not much happened in the last week or so…It's time to look back at what we've bought over the last three months and how our portfolios have fared. Steve D's up first.There are some obvious discounts in some of the REITs Steve owns and Amazon is looking like it's come down a lot. So is the plan to go buying on the latest dip?Steve W has been diving into AIM stocks in the last three months. So far, that hasn't been a success, but it's still early days for those particular investments.New positions in Celebrus and Tristel stand out alongside some other less imaginative investments. But what's the plan for the next three months?Steve D has been busy on the selling side as well. Pfizer and Diageo have gone entirely and Progyny and Disney have been reduced after some well-timed buys.It's surprising how much some big and well-established firms have been struggling lately. But Rightmove has also made its way out of Steve D's portfolio for a different reason.Unimaginatively, Steve W has made three sales in the last three months. One was Citigroup (which looks brilliant) and another was Dowlais, which looks… ok.The other one was Primary Health Properties and that looks like a mistake. The stock is about where it was when Steve sold it, but he's made a bit of a mess of his calculations… Around three months ago, we started a portfolio of UK stocks and a portfolio of European shares. And the European investments have made a decent start. There have been some outstanding performances, especially from the likes of Carl Zeiss Meditec. But which of the Steves has been contributing more?With the UK shares portfolio, there's a familiar theme. Barclays, NatWest, and Admiral lead the way after a strong first quarter for financials stocks. Bringing up the rear is Greggs – obviously – which has had a terrible 2025 to date. But what else has been faltering along with the FTSE 100 food chain?Only on this week's PlayingFTSE Podcast! ► Support the show:Appreciate the show and want to offer your support?

Until the start of 2024 I had never heard of French & Jupps, the UK's oldest continuously operating maltster, established in 1689. When I was offered to visit by my friend Jonathan Mitchell, who distributes their malt via his Northern Ireland-based company Get ‘Er Brewed, I just had to tag along. Malt has always been central to both my enjoyment and fascination with beer, and is my favourite ingredient. You can probably say that water is more important, and hops are more exciting (sorry, yeast) but it's malt that fuels my curiosity the most. Malt forms not only an important intersection between the technical side of brewing, and the creative, flavour-driven element, but for me also provides the most tangible connection to its agriculture – the fact that beer is a product of the land first, and the factory second.Located a 20-minute train ride from Tottenham Hale station in North London, French & Jupps is located in the picturesque town of Stanstead Abbotts, next to the River Lea. Although by no-means small, it's not quite as gargantuan as other maltings in the UK, such as those operated by Crisp, Simpsons, or Bairds. That's in part because they don't produce base malts, instead focusing exclusively on crystal, roasted and what's known as patent malt – the latter so-called because historically a permit was required to authorise its manufacture. French & Jupps produces everything from crystal malts – designed to add sweetness and body – to patent malts that can imbue beer with everything from notes of chocolate and coffee, to bitterness and astringency. You might not have heard of them as a maltster before, but you have almost certainly tasted their malt in beers such as Harvey's Mild, or Shepherd Neame Christmas Ale. But there's another reason you might not have heard of them, and that's because their product was, until recently, distributed via other maltsters, and often re-bagged so none of their branding was present. This is, in part, where managing director Paul King comes in. Joining the company just over four years ago, Paul has had an illustrious career in brewing, holding positions at Diageo, SAB Miller and Anheauser Busch, in roles that have seen him based in Japan, South Africa and the USA. Now, under his stewardship, French & Jupps are beginning to take a more prominent role in their own distribution, but also starting to tell their own, fascinating story in greater detail. I'm pleased to tell you I'm working on a written companion to this interview with Paul that will fill in the details of this maltster's history, while also explaining a bit more about roasted malt on a technical level, and how it's used to make certain beers taste and feel the way they do. Until then, please enjoy this delightful conversation with one of the most interesting people in the beer industry I've had the pleasure of meeting. It's about malt, yes, but also about understanding the vital role it plays in the beer we drink.We're able to produce The Pellicle Podcast directly thanks to our Patreon subscribers, and our sponsors Loughran Brewers Select.

The hits just keep coming for economic development in Louisville — most recently with the news that KFC is leaving town.That's one of five recent examples of some absolutely abysmal economic news coming out of Louisville. Before that it was Papa John's flight from Louisville to Atlanta. And the news that Humana Inc. is vacating its Main Street tower in Downtown Louisville. You can throw the closure of the Brown-Forman Cooperage and Diageo's ending of bottling operations at Stitzel-Weller Distillery onto the bad news pile too. Those are just the big, semi-recent ones. Add it all up and it doesn't look good for the Derby City. So what's happening here? We give our best shot at an explanation on this week's Access Louisville podcast, which you can check out in the player above.In short, it's not all just one thing. Louisville is on the wrong end of some recent business trends. Obviously, the trends that led restaurant companies (KFC and Papa Johns) out of town are different than those causing the distillers (Diageo and Brown-Forman) to shut down facilities. In the case of the former, it seems restaurant companies want greater access to the world than Louisville can readily provide (a few site selection professionals we spoke with gave us some great insight on this recently.) And in the case of the latter, there's a global spirits downturn and threats of a trade war that are impacting Kentucky's bourbon industry. As for Humana, it's in step with a lot of companies that are just needing less office space in the wake of remote work. So the question is less: What's going on here and more what do we do about it? More on this weeks showWe don't just lament Louisville's losses on this week's show. We also go over some good news that has taken place as well. It seems that  things are moving for a redevelopment project at Louisville Gardens, which will be home to the film industry. There's also new apartment building going up that could be a real boon for Downtown Louisville.And we've got some news on massive upgrades planned at Churchill Downs.

How does bourbon ignite debates about geography, and what makes Blade and Bow bourbon a standout in a world of aged spirits? This week, we navigate the bittersweet absence of one of our co-hosts and still manage to keep the energy high and the conversation flowing. We explore the rich distilling heritage of Kentucky, laugh over common misconceptions about its capital, and ponder the importance of value and partnership in both our personal and professional lives.With humor as our guide, we traverse the landscapes of Wild Turkey, Woodford Reserve, Buffalo Trace, and Four Roses, each with its compelling story and place in bourbon lore. Russ shares tantalizing insights about Blade and Bow, an intriguing creation from Diageo that emerged just nine years ago, and its deep roots in Louisville's distillery scene. If you're ready for a sensory adventure through bourbon country, pour yourself a glass and tune in, as we toast to partnerships, the joy of discovery, and the eternal appeal of bourbon.

Mr. Holloway serves on the board of directors of the Minority Corporate Counsel Association (MCCA), the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission, the Allegheny County Parks Foundation and Gilman School.

In recent months a new force has emerged in the online world. Meet the 'Guinfluencer' - Fans of the stout who review pints, comment on ‘domage' and ‘shtick' among other characteristics the black beverage holds. With stout shortages over Christmas causing chaos in the UK, and ‘G's being split like they are going out of fashion, it feels like what was once the everyman's stout has reached peak public hysteria. But now, whispers are growing louder that Diageo, the global drinks giant and owner of ‘The Black Stuff', might be looking to sell off the legendary stout. Why now, and what does that mean for the future of the company and its St James's Gate brewery?

The lawsuit between Sean "Diddy" Combs and Diageo is centered on allegations of contract breaches and unequal treatment of Combs' liquor brands. Combs sued Diageo in May 2023, accusing the company of failing to properly support his brands, Cîroc Vodka and DeLeón Tequila, by not providing the resources necessary to position DeLeón as a premium product. Combs argued that Diageo underfunded and mismanaged the brands, which hindered their market performance.Diageo attempted to dismiss the lawsuit, claiming they had invested heavily in the brands. However, in August 2023, a judge allowed some of Combs' claims to move forward, indicating there were legitimate issues to be addressed. Following this, Diageo ended its partnership with Combs, citing that their relationship had deteriorated due to ongoing disputes and public criticism.The lawsuit has raised questions about Diageo's handling of Combs' brands and their contractual obligations. Combs seeks to hold Diageo accountable for what he claims is insufficient support that affected the brands' growth and market competitiveness.(commercial at 8:19)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:v0 (bwbx.io)

Kat Hantas turned her home hobby of infusing Tequila into a $160 million business. Her story began when her nightly glass of wine started to give her headaches, and her doctor recommended she replace it with a distilled spirit, like Blanco Tequila. To soften its harsh taste, Kat infused it with fruit and herbs, and began sharing it with appreciative fellow-moms. She eventually realized that hyper-targeting to moms was the perfect way to break into the male-dominated Tequila business. In 2018, she recruited her sister and a friend to launch 21 Seeds, and despite multiple challenges, their mom-strategy paid off. Just three years after launch, 21 Seeds sold for $160 million to Diageo, one of the largest alcoholic beverage companies in the world.
