Si te hablo de cuál fue el primer coche con tracción delantera me dirás que el Citroën Traction Avant... ¡Error! hasta llegar a este modelo se tuvo que andar un largo camino… tan largo que se puede decir que arranca, vais a alucinar, en 1770… Entre ese primer tracción delantera y el Traction de 1934 hay muchos e interesantes coches… y muchas e interesantes historias. Joseph Cugnot diseñó y fabrico el triciclo Fardier con motor de vapor, del que se puede decir que iba montado de forma transversal y que la tracción iba a la rueda anterior, única. Su máxima era de 4 km/h… un peligro porque apenas giraba. Ahora recordamos a Latil, una empresa destinada a la fabricación de coches y creada por el empresario, de largo nombre, Auguste Joseph Frédéric Georges Latil, porque en 1899 lanzó un modelo Latil muy avanzado para su época, con frenos a las 4 ruedas, motor delantero y tracción delantera. Esta marca luego derivó sobre todo en tractores y vehículos industriales de cierto prestigio. Mientras, al otro lado del charco, en los EE.UU. de Norteamérica un tal Walter Christie diseñó y patentó un coche de tracción delantera en 1904. Este modelo incluso compitió en la Copa Vanderbilt en 1906 y poco después en el Gran Premio de Francia. Tenía el motor transversal y la tracción delantera… como el 90 por ciento de los coches de ahora… pero entonces, era una verdadera rareza. El tal Walter hizo también coche de tracción total. Este modelo fue imitado. Y en que, en estas fechas, y ahora desvelamos por qué nos referimos a los Speedway, la gran mayoría de carreras allí en los USA eran en óvalos con curvas de gran radio y firme de ceniza o tierra, los famosos Speedway. En este terreno, uno de los inconvenientes de la tracción delantera, su amplio radio de giro, no era problema, pero algunos estimaban que, por el contrario, era una ventaja en cuanto a motricidad. Entre ellos las marcas norteamericanas Detroit Special y Miller, que produjeron coches de tracción delantera. ¡Ojo! Que el Miller 91 llegó a imponerse en el Campeonato Nacional de la AAA o American Automobile Asociation. El coche es precioso y además de tracción delantera estaba sobrealimentado con un compresor. Hasta ahora hemos visto coches de tracción delantera que eran casi prototipos o coches de competición. Vamos a los coches de calle. Y siempre que se habla del primer coche de tracción delantera construido en serie, aunque sea muy corta, sale a relucir el nombre de Bucciali. Los hermanos Angelo y Paul-Albert Bucciali eran unos enamorados del automóvil y fundan la marca Bucciali en 1922. Tras varios modelos con tracción delantera lanzan a comienzo de los años 30 el Bucciali TAV 12. Era un coche muy especial, muy bajo de altura para lo que se estilaba en la época, gracias a la tracción delantera que eliminaba el correspondiente túnel de transmisión, y con transmisión semi automática. Me hace gracia que en estos años si te gustaban los coches y tenías dinerito, creabas tu propia marca. Y esto fue precisamente lo que hizo Errett Lobban Cord quien, tras comprar Auburn y Duesenberg, decidió crear su propia marca, aún más elitista y para hacerlo más diferent optó por utilizar la tracción delantera. Lo cierto es que la tracción delantera aún no estaba resuelta y tuvieron inconvenientes con la fiabilidad porque el coche giraba poco, las juntas homocinéticas “Rzeppa” de las ruedas delantera, solo permitían 32 grados de giro, eran frágiles y para colmo, el volante tenía reacciones muy bruscas. El mayor inconveniente para la expansión de la tracción delantera eran las juntas homocinéticas y fue el brillante ingeniero Jean Albert Grégoire quien eliminó esos problemas. Era un hombre muy aficionado al motor, como digo, brillante ingeniero y otro que decidió crear su propia marca. La llamó Tracta, no confundir con Tatra de la que hemos hecho un video recientemente… Querían que el coche fuese muy especial y decidieron hacerlo de tracción delantera. Pero las juntas homocinéticas del momento, como la Weiss, Mechanic o Glaenzer no eran muy buenas…. Y decidió diseñar las suyas propias… todo un acierto. En estos tiempos no había ni televisión Internet… pero sí carreras de coches y eran la mejor publicidad. Grégoire quería dar a conocer sus coches y pensó en la competición. Ya en 1926 el primer Tracta estaba listo y en 1927 participó en las 24 Horas de Le Mans… Pese a muchas complicaciones el Tracta Tipo A en su versión “Gefi” tomó parte en las 24 horas de Le Mans y las terminó a una media de 70,5 km/h. Y lo más importante fue que el coche no sufrió ningún tipo de problema y las juntas Tracta alcanzaron una justa y merecida fama. Tanta que la marca abandonó los coches en unos pocos años para centrarse en sus juntas homocinéticas. Todos pudieron comprobar que la tracción delantera ya estaba lista para ser usada en coches de calle y llegó… DKW: Los pioneros. Siempre digo que la realidad supera la ficción… y este es el caso. Y es que fue un cliente de Tracta el que, entusiasmado con el comportamiento de su coche, habló de las ventajas de la tracción delantera a J. S. Rasmussen, fundador de la marca DKW. Y fue en el Salón de Paris de 1929 cuando tuvo lugar un “encuentro en la cumbre” entre Grégoire y Rasmussen para adoptar la tracción delantera en sus coches de dos tiempos a partir de 1931. Y es que el primer coche con tracción delantera de producción en series importantes, de miles de coches, en concreto 4.353 unidades, no fue el Citroën Traction, sino el DKW F1. A este primer DKW le siguieron muchos con esta transmisión, como los F8, F91, F93, F94 y F102, entre otros. Realmente la marca alemana DKW fue la que primero apostó fuerte por este sistema que introdujo con éxito en toda su gama y que constituyó una de las características de estos interesantes coches… Y ¡por fin! llegó el Traction… El Traction Avant lanzado en 1934 destacó por muchos motivos, entre ellos la tracción delantera… pero no solo por eso. Gracias a este sistema y a su chasis monocasco este modelo era claramente más bajo que sus contemporáneos. Esto repercutía mucho en la estética, pero sobre todo en su estabilidad que era magnifica, muy superior a la de sus rivales. Fue la llegada del Mini en 1957, que combina la tracción delantera con el motor transversal para conseguir un aprovechamiento insuperable del espacio, el que ya definió el concepto de coche moderno, que ha llegado hasta nuestros días… Conclusión. Si pensabas que el Citroën Traction fue el primer tracción delantera ya has visto que hubo muchos, pero muchos coches con este sistema antes que él. Algunos eran prototipos, otros muy minoritarios, otros de competición, pero otros, como los DKW, que se vendieron en grandes series.

En 1992 KTM se declaró en quiebra y su gestión la asumieron los bancos… más de 30 años después parece que la historia se repite… KTM supero su quiebra de 1992 para convertirse en el primer fabricante europeo de motos… ¿crees que va a suceder lo mismo? Desde final del pasado 2024 la situación de KTM es complicada: Muchas deudas, muchas motos invendidas y mucha incertidumbre… pero somos muchos los que pensamos que, de un modo u otro, la empresa saldrá adelante por la solidez de su marca, por su tecnología, por su implicación en el Motorsport y por la cantidad de puestos de trabajo que hay que defender. Este es un buen momento para volver la vista atrás y ver cómo nació KTM, como llegó a ser el fabricante número 1 de Europa y luego a entrar en crisis… Pero antes de empezar, lo primero es saber que significa KTM, porque más o menos todo el mundo sabe, por ejemplo, que BMW es Bayerische Motoren Werke (Fábricas de Motores de Baviera), pero ¿KTM? Austria, 1937. El ingeniero austríaco Johann Trunkenpolz estableció un pequeño negocio en Mattighofen donde producía algunos elementos metalúrgicos a la vez que vendía automóviles Opel y motocicletas DKW. A ese negocio lo denomino Kraftfahrzeug Trunkenpolz Mattighofen cuya traducción podría ser “Vehículos a motor de Trunkenpolz en Mattighofen” … pero ese nombre nunca se registró. Los gestores de KTM vieron que la Europa de la postguerra necesitaba vehículos económicos y por tanto motos. Y nace la R100, primero como prototipo y ya fabricada en serie a partir de 1954, cuando los 20 empleados de la marca fabricaban tres motos al día… Konreif falleció en 1960 y dos años más tarde Trunkenpolz… Para entonces la empresa ya fabricaba modelos deportivos, como la Trophy de 125 cm3 y, algo que hoy parece raro, Scooter, como el Mecky y los Pony I y II. En esos momentos la marca ya tenía 180 empleados, pero en 1971 ya eran 400 empleados y ofrecía 40 modelos diferentes. En 1956 el piloto oficial de la marca Egon Dornauer participó en la famosa, aún hoy en dia, prueba de los International Six Days Enduro. Participó y ganó. Y para sorpresa de KTM esa victoria le dio una publicidad enorme y fue la principal causa de que KTM se orientase principalmente al off road. A mediados y finales de los años 80 caen en picado las ventas de ciclomotores y scooter, fallece en 1988 el hijo del fundador y en 1991 y los bancos se hacen con el control de la empresa y como suele ser habitual en estos casos la “despiezan” y la venden. Entra en escena Stefan Pierer, que llega en 1992 y revoluciona la empresa. Solo dos años después de su llegada se pone a la venta la Duke, que supone la apuesta de la marca por el asfalto. Ahora muchos critican a Pierer… pero con él llega la expansión de la marca. Pierer decide, con un acuerdo con Audi, fabricar coches superdeportivos como el KMT X-Bow, llega a acuerdos con ATV-Polaris para suministro de motores, con Kiska Design para el diseño de sus productos, entre ellos su coche, y se hace con el control de las marcas Husaberg, Gas Gas, y finalmente MV Agusta. Bajaj adquiere en 2007 el 14,7 por ciento de la marca, porcentaje que pasa a nada menos que un 47 por ciento en 2017, como quien dice, hace cuatro días. Nada hacía presagiar lo que iba a suceder, pues todos entendíamos que la historia reciente de KTM con Pierer a los mandos era una carrera de éxito, un poco alocada, quizás, con una jefatura un poco dictatorial, puede, pero de éxito. ¿Y qué ha pasado? Pues que a finales de 2024 aparecen 265.000 motos sin vender. El diario alemán “Estándar” fijo en esta cifra las motos sin vender que estaban en los concesionarios KTM de todo el mundo… las ventas de todo un año. Eso era un gran, grandísimo problema… pero no el único. De momento Pierer ya no lleva el timón, los inversores quieren a alguien con mucha cabeza, mucha prudencia y que les trasmita mucha confianza… ye eso para ofrecérselo Gottfried Neumeister, un nombre poco conocido por el gran público, pero de enorme prestigio. La carrera de Gottfried arrancó en Siemens AG Austria; en 2003 fundó “flyniki” con Niki Lauda, que vendieron a Air Berlín en 2012 ganado mucho dinero en la operación; llegó a ser su CEO de DO &CO, una enorme empresa de catering austriaca, entre el 21 y el 23 y entra en KTM AG en 2024. Creía interesante que conocieseis la historia de KTM, porque justo El 25 de febrero de 2025 se han tomado decisiones importantes para KTM… este vídeo está grabado justo el 26. Pero hay una tercera noticia, buena o mala, según se mire. Uno de los administradores concursales que decidirán el futuro de la compañía es Peter Vogl, quien ha declarado a Business Live: “En la reunión de balance del martes, BMW Motorrad ha mostrado su interés en participar como inversor y continuar con la marca KTM, pero ya no en Austria.” Si esto llegara a darse a finales de este año, los 4.500 empleados de KTM en Austria estarían oficialmente fuera de la empresa.

Esto es un extracto de la tertulia de AUTOFM que se emite cada jueves en Onda Cero y se sube a este canal de podcast todos los lunes. En este episodio de AutoFM, analizamos el impactante movimiento de Audi y su asociación con SAIC para crear una nueva marca en China. Pero aquí viene lo curioso: estos nuevos coches no lucirán los icónicos cuatro aros. En su lugar, llevarán un logotipo compuesto únicamente por las letras mayúsculas "AUDI". Debatimos las implicaciones de este cambio para la marca premium del Grupo Volkswagen y exploramos el diseño revolucionario del concept AUDI E, que liderará la gama inicial de vehículos eléctricos exclusivos para el mercado chino. ¿Es esta decisión un acierto para captar al consumidor chino o una ruptura innecesaria con su legado? Además, reflexionamos sobre el nombre elegido, el impacto histórico de Auto Union, NSU, y DKW, y por qué Audi ha optado por no resucitar esas legendarias marcas. Un programa que mezcla diseño, marketing y estrategia automovilística.

Wer kennt sie nicht: die Silberpfeile der Auto Union, jene legendären Grand-Prix-Rennwagen der 1930er Jahre. Kaum jemand weiß jedoch, dass auf Basis dieser zukunftsweisenden Rennmaschinen auch eine straßentaugliche Sportwagen-Version mit 16-Zylindermotor geplant war, der Auto Union Typ 52. Audi hat diesen Schnellsportwagen aufgebaut und ihn beim Goodwood Festival of Speed in England Mitte Juli erstmals der Öffentlichkeit vorgestellt. Darum geht es diesmal!Heute schauen wir mal in die automobile Frühzeit zurück. 1932 entstand aus dem Zusammenschluss von Audi, DKW, Horch und Wanderer die Auto Union AG, die sich schon früh im Motorsport engagierte, um ihr neues Firmensignet, die Vier Ringe, international bekannt zu machen. 1933 erteilte die Auto Union AG dem Stuttgarter Konstruktionsbüro von Ferdinand Porsche den Auftrag, einen Rennwagen der 750-kg-Formel zu entwickeln. Bereits ein Jahr später fuhr Hans Stuck auf der Berliner AVUS mit dem Wagen Weltrekord. Als die völlig neuartigen Rennwagen von Auto Union und Mercedes-Benz 1934 auch die Bühne der internationalen Rennsportszene betreten, entsteht der Mythos der Silberpfeile.Kaum bekannt ist, dass zeitgleich mit der Entwicklung der Grand-Prix-Rennwagen bei der Auto Union AG und im Konstruktionsbüro von Ferdinand Porsche auch Planungen für eine straßentaugliche Sportlimousine starteten. Der Auto Union Typ 52, so der spätere Projektname, sollte an Kunden verkauft und von diesen bei Fernfahrten-Wettbewerben wie etwa der Mille Miglia oder Sportwagen-Konkurrenzen eingesetzt werden. In Frage gekommen wären zum Beispiel die Langstreckenrennen von Spa-Francorchamps oder Le Mans. Auch zu Werkseinsätzen gab es Überlegungen.    Der Motor im Auto Union Typ 52 soll aus 4,4 Litern Hubraum bei 3.650 U/min rund 200 PS schöpfen. Das war im Vergleich zu den Grand-Prix-Boliden zwar leistungsreduziert, dennoch zeigen die Berechnungen der Ingenieure Fahrleistungen von rund 200 km/h. Zu seiner Zeit wäre er eines der stärksten Fahrzeuge mit Straßenzulassung und auch bei den möglichen Sportwagen-Wettbewerben gewesen.Anhand von noch vorhandenen Archivdokumenten, Plänen und Konstruktionszeichnungen hat Audi den Auto Union Typ 52 von den englischen Restaurationsspezialisten Crosthwaite & Gardiner aufbauen lassen. Das Projekt wurde nach mehrjähriger Bauzeit 2023 fertig gestellt. Wie im 1934 geplanten Original kommt ein 16-Zylinder-Mittelmotor mit Kompressor zum Einsatz, diesmal aber mit 520 PS (382 kW). Wie schnell der Wagen damit ist, bleibt leider das Geheimnis von Audi. Hans-Joachim „Strietzel“ Stuck, der Sohn von Hans Stuck, dürfte es allerdings wissen. Denn er hat das Unikat gefahren und war begeistert. Und da es ein Unikat ist, müssen wir auch nicht drüber nachdenken, was er in Serie kosten würde.Alle Fotos: © Audi AG   Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

In this week's episode of Platemark (s3e38), host Ann Shafer talks with Jillian Ross, collaborative master printer and publisher with an eponymous imprint, Jillian Ross Print, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.   Ross returned to her native Saskatoon after many years in Johannesburg, South Africa, where she was the master printer at the David Krut Workshop (DKW) from 2003 to 2020.  There, she worked with over 100 South African and international artists, most notably William Kentridge. Ross and partner Brendan Copestake founded Jillian Ross Print in 2021 in Saskatoon, where they continue working on collaborative projects in South Africa as well as developing new relationships abroad.   Ross has collaborated with William Kentridge since 2006 on major, complicated, and multi-part print projects, including the Triumphs and Laments Woodcuts (2016–21), The Universal Archive (2011–15), The Noses (2006–10) at DKW, and the recently released Studio Life Gravures (2020–22) from Jillian Ross Print (co-published with DKW). Her collaboration with Kentridge continues.   Other recent projects include a partnerships with Latitudes Online, South African artists Cinthia Sifa Mulanga and Puleng Mongale, and the technical team at The University of Alberta in Canada. Ross recently realized an exhibition, William Kentridge: The Colander, at Griffin Art Projects in Vancouver, BC, with curator Lisa Baldissera, the Kentridge Studio, and David Krut Projects in Johannesburg.   Throughout her work, particularly in the publicly accessible open-studio format of DKW at Arts on Main in Johannesburg, Ross has promoted and enhanced artist, collector, and public knowledge of printmaking through mentorship, educational workshops, and knowledge sharing.   Episode image: Lucy MacGarry   USEFUL LINKS https://www.jillianrossprint.com https://www.instagram.com/jillianrossprint_/ https://www.facebook.com/jillian.ross.520 https://www.linkedin.com/in/jillianrossprint https://www.griffinartprojects.ca/exhibitions/william-kentridge-the-colander https://latitudes.online/artworks.html https://latitudesartfair.com/about-the-event/ https://remaimodern.org/about/remai-modern-museum/   Jillian Ross working on William Kentridge's photogravure plates at the University of Alberta, Edmonton.

Para el primer programa del verano os he preparado la historia de una marca importante dentro del panorama motociclisma alemán. DKW llego a ser la mayor fabrica del mundo y en su vida fabrico alguna de las mejores motos de dos tiempos. Conozcamos un poco su historia.

„Wir wollen es nicht nur versuchen, sondern auch realisieren“: Michael Lorz ist verantwortlich für die Projektentwicklungen der Deutschen Kapitalwert AG, kurz DKW. Das momentan größte Vorhaben sind die EilersWerke in Hannover. Der Spezialist für Gewerbeimmobilien will die 60.000 Quadratmeter zu einem autofreien und nachhaltigen Quartier machen. Ich spreche mit Michael über DGNB-Zertifizierungen, Nutzungsneutralität, über kleine Rechenzentren, den Unterschied zwischen Berlin und Hannover und über einen höheren Freiheitsgrad in den Behörden, zögerliche Mieter sowie darüber, wie man die Zukunft vordenkt, und was passiert, wenn man den Patienten namens Grundstück genauer unter die Lupe nimmt. „Wir wollen Problemlöser sein“, sagt der Bauingenieur. Das bedeutet auch, alle Eventualitäten mitzudenken, Risiken abzuschätzen, zu optimieren. Es müsse momentan einfach jede Stellschraube gedreht werden. Fertige Brownfield-Entwicklungen stehen am 25. Mai bei den Brownfield24 Awards im Mittelpunkt. Die DKW fungiert dabei als Gastgeber in den EilersWerken Hannover.

Durante tres décadas, desde los '50 a principios de los '80, decir Sanglas era lo mismo que decir “la moto de la Guardia Civil de Tráfico”. Porque sus prestaciones, su fiabilidad y su sencillez hacían idóneas estas motos españolas para el uso de los cuerpos de seguridad del estado… Lo he dicho en muchos vídeos, pero hay que repetirlo de nuevo: En España, en la postguerra, no había de nada, pero coches y motos, nada de nada. La guerra había hecho estragos en el poco parque que había, no había fabricas propias ni se podía importar nada… Los gran mayoría de los españoles, salvo unos pocos afortunados, se movían de 3 formas: A pie, con animales o, como mucho, en bicicletas. Había necesidad y ganas de tener medios de transporte más eficientes… Fabricar coches no es fácil, requiere mucha maquinaria, mucha inversión… es, industrialmente hablando, “caza mayor”… pero fabricar motos… no digo que sea fácil, pero es más asequible. Javier y Martín Sanglas, estudiantes de ingeniería en Barcelona eran aficionados a la motos, a las motos “gordas” que entonces eran las BMW, DKW o Zündapp alemanas… y se veían capaces de diseñar y construir ese tipo de motos. Y prácticamente en 1942, apenas tres años después de finalizar la Guerra Civil española, se pusieron manos a la obra, consiguieron una nave en la zona de “Pueblo Nuevo” hoy día casi en el corazón de la ciudad, pero entonces casi en las afueras y comenzaron a diseñar y fabricar su nueva moto A la marca la pusieron el original nombre de “Sanglas”… Justo es reconocer la valentía, el ingenio y la imaginación de aquellos emprendedores, pero en lo de poner nombre a la marca, no se complicaron la vida. Uno de los rasgos de las motos Sanglas y que fue clave en el desarrollo y éxito de la marca, es que contaban con motores de 4 tiempos, mientras que la mayoría de las marcas españolas, que fueron muchas, hacían sencillos motores de 2 tiempos. Inspirándose en motores de otras marcas, especialmente de DKW, diseñaron un motor mono cilíndrico de 4 tiempos OHV, o sea, con válvulas en cabeza y de una cilindrada, para esa época, relativamente alta: 350 cm3. Este motor desarrollaba 14,5 CV de potencia solo 4.800 rpm, era robustísimo y vibraba una barbaridad… Y pronto tuvieron un gran éxito. La primera venta documentada de una Sanglas data de 1947, pero ya en 1948 la empresa contaba con 100 empleados y había construido 200 motos. En 1958 la producción asciende a 500 unidades anuales, lo que conlleva ampliar la producción y la fábrica se moderniza y se traslada a la periferia en concreto a Hospitalet de Llobregat. Las Sanglas más típicas y características son las mono cilíndricas de 4 tiempos con cilindradas de 400 y 500 cm3. Pero la marca hace algún experimento, como una nueva marca llamada Rovena, con motores 2T de Hispano Villiers o motos de 50, 75 y 100 cm3 de dos tiempos y marca Zündapp que no tuvieron gran éxito. Las Sanglas, como decíamos, durante tres décadas fueron las motos de la Guardia Civil de Tráfico sobre todo, pero también de otros cuerpos de seguridad del Estado. Tanto los militares como los policías o los Guardias Civiles necesitaban una moto sencilla, practica, de consumo reducido, robusta pero con unas buenas prestaciones… y además, en esos tiempos, necesariamente de fabricación nacional. No es que Sanglas cumpliese con todos esos requisitos, es que en realidad era la única que cumplía con esos requisitos. Su mantenimiento, sobre todo con aquellos combustibles y aceites, era menor que el de las motos de 2 tiempos y su consumo prácticamente la mitad… Y, para la época, eran motos rápidas, que corrían y que mantenían cruceros elevados sin problemas… probé precisamente una 400E, ya con arranque eléctrico, y podía viajar a 120 km/h con dos personas, sin problemas… eso sí, las vibraciones eran muy notables… ¡no se puede querer todo! Pero… cuando a un negocio llegan los bancos… ¡mala cosa! Sanglas quería modernizar y hacer crecer su gama y para ello recurre a endeudarse con los Bancos. Y encima no lo hace con uno o dos, sino que lo hace con Banesto, Banco de Madrid, Banca Garrigues Nogués y Banca Catalana de Desarrollo. Con ese dinero desarrollan 1975 un nuevo modelo, la 500… que no tuvo mucho éxito. Se crea SEMSA, una empresa cuyos accionistas son los bancos con los que Sanglas tenía deudas y la propia Yamaha, que compra el 50 por ciento de las acciones, buscando una plataforma para entrar en el mercado español. El 5 de abril de 1989 desaparece SEMSA y se fabrica la última Sanglas, la 500 S2 V5 y acaba la historia de Sanglas. Después de la Sanglas Yamaha los japoneses tienen claro que no compensa fabricar en España e importan directamente la Yamaha 400, uno moto más moderna, que no vibra, y que sale más barata de fabricar…

Patrick Herzog hat das Bauträgergeschäft mit jungen 16 Jahren von der Pike auf gelernt. Später entschied er sich gegen ein Studium und gründete stattdessen lieber sein eigenes Unternehmen. Heute ist er Geschäftsführer der DKW Deutsche KapitalWert AG, die sich zu Beginn auf die wohnwirtschaftliche Nachverdichtung konzentrierte. 2018 folgte der strategische Shift weg vom Wohnen hin zum Gewerbe – auch aufgrund der schwierigen politischen Rahmenbedingungen im Heimatmarkt Berlin. Seit dieser Zeit, versucht die DKW mit dem Ansatz der Nutzungsneutralität zu verhindern, dass Immobilien später einmal zu Stranded Assets werden. Er sagt: „In fast jeder gewerblichen Immobilie lassen sich andere Nutzungen realisieren.“ Allerdings: „Diese Art der Planung bedeuten erst einmal Mehrkosten von zehn bis zwölf Prozent.“ Trotzdem geht die Rechnung am langen Ende auf - wie das klappen kann und wie man die baulichen Herausforderungen (Brandschutz etc.) in den Griff bekommt, beschreibt er in der neuen Folge von InterACT Insights mit Markus Gerharz.  Außerdem kommt zur Sprache: # Wie reagieren Bewerter, Banken und Behörden auf den nutzungsneutralen Ansatz? # Was will die DKW mit der Beteiligung an einem Abrissunternehmen und einem verwahrlosten Tanklager? # Wie sieht er die Zukunft veralteter Gewerbeparks und Kaufhäuser? # Erhält die DWK als erste Immobilienunternehmen ein Rückbauzertifikat vom DGNB?

On this episode of the BMS® Podcast, Danielle and her husband Garrett tackle the topic of mindset. A critical component to your success in anything you do!   Ask yourself, what is motivating you to push yourself to the next level?  Is it your clients, your family, or is it just because you want to grow?   Here's the thing... You don't know what you don't know.    What is your business mindset? What is YOUR mindset on just life?    When your mindset shifts there is so much that can happen.    There are so many things that as hair stylists we are taught. We are taught that the client is the prize, that we take any & all services, we work late hours.    That right there is the wrong mindset.   WHY is our industry still operating in the mindset of disbelief; where you stand as “just” a hairdresser?   Being a hairstylist is what you do by trade, it's not who YOU are.    You are the prize. You are a powerful businessman and businesswoman. You have the tools to empower yourself and hundreds of men and women through your art.   Ready to light that fire and be empowered? Take control of your future and turn your license into a life of abundance. For the first time since 2018, DKW® Academy Convention is opening its doors for you! Yes, even if you're not in our Academy.   Get ready to join the NBR® Tribe to elevate your business game at the one-of-a-kind event where beauty and success converge!   Want to learn more?

"We have NEVER been on the same page with money - there's never any closure to it, except "make more money"!  Today's episode is REAL + RAW as Danielle and Garrett have what seems like an actual THERAPY session! Where else can you listen to a podcast like this?! The crazy thing is.. this topic is SO relatable (no matter your financial situation). Buckle up...these two don't hold anything back.  

Vad gör ett bra, igenkännbart emblem? Är det bra om man kan avbilda det ur minnet?+ Klassikerpanelen får rita och berätta. Fredrik Nyblad har fått erbjudande om en billig Volvo 850 och Carl Legelius har slagit till på sin ungdomsdröm Peugeot 205 GTI – för tredje gången. Björn Meyer blir sugen på en samling DKW och Claes Johanssons specialbygge får ny växellåda.

Mandlenkosi 'Mandla' Mavengere collaborated with the David Krut Workshop in 2021 and 2022 where he created a series of oil-based monotypes with DKW printer Sbongiseni Khulu. Mandla's brightly coloured works speak to the diversity and inequalities of labour, the hardships of migration and the monetary value of goods and services rendered. The figures pictured in his works are economically fabricated identities who are fitting into a new homeland of occupation versus the home of origin. In this episode of the David Krut Podcast, Britt Lawton sits down with Mandla Mavengere to talk about his artistic practice and this series of prints that will feature in his online solo exhibition Forces of Ambition. In this discussion, Mandla shares how he embraced his status as a Zimbabwean migrant living in Johannesburg, how this led to him inventing his own fictional currency, and how he experienced collaborating with the DKW. Learn all about the forces that drive Mandla and the subjects in his works in this episode...

Los coches nos hacen la vida más fácil, nos ayudan en el día. Eso los coches normales y corrientes. Pero… ¿y los coches militares? Estos coches no solo te hacen la vida más fácil, sencillamente, te pueden salvar la vida. Este podcast lo realizamos antes de que estallase la Guerra entre Rusia y Ucrania, con juntamente con el de Motos Militares que se estrenó hace unas semanas en El Garaje de Moto1Pro. Con él deseamos que pronto acabe al conflicto. Hasta la Segunda Guerra Mundial el papel de los coches, no así el de los camiones, en las batallas y en la guerra, fue era testimonial. Pero a partir de 1945 el panorama cambio radicalmente. La necesidad de moverse y comunicarse rápido y las nuevas formas de combate propiciaron que la importancia de automóvil se incrementase Todo empezó con el Jeep Hay un coche cave en esta historia, un coche a partir del cual todo fue diferente. Está claro que nos referimos al Jeep. Cuando aún faltaba un año para el ataque a Pearl Harbor el ejercito norteamericano quería un vehículo apto para todo, sencillo, robusto, con escaso mantenimiento y que pudiese conducir casi cualquiera. Nuestro pliego de condiciones -Ser apto para moverse en todo tipo de terrenos… desde las arenas del desierto a la nieve o a estrechos caminos de montaña, con frio o con calor. -Ser muy sencillo de conducir porque, en un momento dado, debe poder conducirlo cualquiera, con prisas, con nervios y asustado… -Con una capacidad importante para poder llevar soldados, armamento y munición.. -Robustos y fiables, no puede romperse nada en el peor momento o requerir mucho mantenimiento 1. BMW 325 (1938-1940) Poco se habla de este coche, que fue un encargo del ejercito Nazi a la empresa alemana. Es un coche curioso por varios motivos: Contaba con un motor de seis cilindros en línea de 2.0 litros con 50 cv, tenía tracción integral y, lo más llamativo, cuatro ruedas directrices. 2. Willys (1940-1945) El diseño ganador del concurso para el gobierno americano del que hablábamos al comenzar fue el presentado por la empresa American Bantam, pero pedían mucho dinero. Así que el ejercito pidió a Ford y a Willys que desarrollasen el proyecto de American Bantam y al final fue Willys-Overland la que desarrollo el modelo. 3. GAZ 67 (1943-1953) En este caso no hay duda: Se trata de una copia del propio Jeep realizado por los rusos deprisa y corriendo para usarlo en la Segunda Guerra. Primero pelearon juntos contra los alemanes y luego fueron enemigos en la guerra de Corea. 5. Fiat Campagnola 1101 AD (1951-1973) No hay duda: No me atrevo a decir que sea una copia, pero desde luego está inspirado en el Jeep Willys. Por supuesto contaba con tracción a las cuatro ruedas, una estructura abierta y un motor de gasolina de 1.901 cm3 y 53 CV. 5. Hotchkiss M201 VLTT (1954-1960) Una historia curiosa que estoy seguro que muchos no conocéis. Tras el fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Francia no tenía vehículos militares. ¿Y cÓmo lo arreglaron? Pues con una combinación de excedentes de guerra, algunos vehículos cedidos por los Estados Unidos y otros recuperados en el frente. 6. DKW Munga (1956-1978) Otra historia interesante, cuando Auto Unión, a través de se marca DKW ganó una licitación nada menos que a Porsche para fabricar, ya en tiempos de paz, un nuevo vehículo militar. MUNGA es el acrónimo de la frase alemana "Mehrzweck UNiversal Geländewagen mit Allradantrieb", que traducido significa "vehículo todoterreno universal multi-propósito con tracción total. 7. Volkswagen Tipo 181 (1969-1979) Se habla mucho del VW Tipo 82 (1939-1945) y poco o nada de este nacido en tiempos de paz. Pero que era más de lo mismo. Llevaba un motor 1.5 de 44 cv y más tarde un 1.6 de 48 cv, con tracción trasera nada más. 8. Volkswagen Iltis (1978-1988) Mira el Munga y luego mira el Iltis… ¿No ves un aire de familia? Llegó para reemplazar, con enorme ventaja, al Tipo 181 y fue fabricado por en realidad por Audi. Se dice que su sistema de tracción integral fue el precursor del programa Quattro. 9. Mercedes Clase G (1979-actualidad) Uno de los mejores TT de todos los tiempos, militares y no militares, y prueba de ello es su larga vida. Nace de la colaboración entre Alemania y Austria, entre Mercedes-Benz y Steyr-Puch verdaderos especialista en tracción total. 10. HMMWV o #Hummer (1984-2010) Cuando los EE.UU. comenzaron a tener una presencia importante en el medio Oriente se creo una necesidad: Un coche ideado para moverse por la arenas del desierto. En 1984 y producido por Mobility Technology International en los EE.UU. empezó a prestar servicio en el ejército de los EE.UU. el HMMWV (High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle). Conclusión Tengo una duda, ¿conocíais todos estos coches? Está claro que el Jeep, el Hummer, el Mercedes y otros, sí, pero espero haberos sorprendido con algunos.

Imagínate que estás en la guerra. Te llueven las bombas, ráfagas de ametralladora, tu compañero herido y llega el sargento y te pregunta: “¿Has cambiado el aceite a la moto?”… Las motos militares son muy especiales y duras, como rocas. Me encantan los vehículos especiales por ejemplo ambulancias, coches de bomberos y cosas así. ¿Por qué? Porque en estos casos la faceta de “herramienta que te ayuda” y te hace la vida más fácil es muy clara. Y todavía lo es más en los vehículos militares, que están ahí, para ayudarte, en el momento más difícil al que puede enfrentarse una persona. ¿Qué condiciones tiene que reunir una moto militar? Entre otras, estas: -Ser apta para moverse en todo tipo de terrenos… obvio, a la guerra no se va por autopistas… -Ser sencilla de manejar, más que sencilla, evidente. Va a conducirla cualquiera, con o sin carné con o sin experiencia, con prisas, nervios y asustado… ¡como para leerse un manual! -Prácticas, a la hora de llevar carga, armamento o acompañante. -Robustas, no puede romperse nada esencial en una caída, habrá muchas. -Fiable, porque, como te decía, ¿quién se pone a cambiar el aceite, tensar la cadena o mirar las presiones de los neumáticos en pleno combate? 1. NSU Kettenkrad (1939) Empezamos con polémica, ¿es una moto o no es una moto? En realidad, es el cruce entre un tanque y una moto, pero no hay película bélica de la II Guerra mundial en la que no aparezca una NSU. 2. BMW R75 Militar (1940) Aunque se diseñó antes entró en servicio en 1940 y aunque parezca una tontería fue pieza clave en la llamada “guerra relámpago” o Blitzkrieg. La BMW era rápida, fiable, con capacidad de carga y una herramienta ideal para preparar el terreno antes de la llegada de la infantería y de los tanques. 3. Harley-Davidson WLA (1940) Harley ganó un concurso para el ejército americano en 1939… en ese momento no sospechaban que esta moto tendría un gran protagonismo en la liberación de Europa. 4. Royal Enfield WD/RE “Flying Flea” (1940) Hay motos para ir a la guerra y otras para establecer comunicaciones entre el frente y los puestos de mando. El origen de esta moto proviene curiosamente de una marca alemana: DKW. En 1934, Hermann Weber diseñó la DKW RT 100, que estuvo en producción hasta 1940 produciendo más de 70.000 motocicletas. Pero en 1938 empezaron a tener problemas de suministros por parte de Alemania debido a que la empresa tenía lazos con la comunidad judía. 5. Ural M72 (1941) Hay muchas teorías de cómo llegaron la BMW R71 a manos de los rusos. Pero son teorías. Lo que no es una teoría es que esta Ural es una copia casi exacta de la BMW. Esta moto comenzó fabricándose en Moscú, pero ante el temor de la llegada de los alemanes a la capital, se trasladó su fabricación a Irbit en Siberia, donde se creó una fábrica llamada IMZ… 6. Excelsior Welbike (1942) Lo de hacer motos para tirar en paracaídas es un clásico y ya contamos el motivo, pero lo vuelvo a contar. De esta Excelsior Welbike se puede decir que era más una minimoto que una moto, y se servía en un cajón, plegada y con el paracaídas incluido. 7. Cushman 53 Airborne Scooter (1944) Otra moto para tirar en paracaídas, aunque esta de mayor éxito. El ejercito puso sus condiciones: Tenía que poder vadear una altura de agua 30 cm, subir rampas de hasta el 25 %, recorrer al menos 160 kilómetros con un galón, lo que equivale a gastar unos 2 litros cada 200 km y debía transportar 113,4 kg. 8. Chang Jiang CJ 750 (1957) Los rusos no fueron los únicos en copiar. Muchos pensaréis que esta Chiang es casi igual a una Zündapp KS600… pues no, os equivocáis, no es “casi” igual…. Sobra el casi... Los chinos son los reyes de la copia y más en aquellos tiempos. Dicen las malas lenguas… o las buenas, que cayó en manos de los chinos unas cuantas Zündapp y como carecían de tecnología propia, directamente las copiaron… pues esta historia parece ser cierta. 9. Harley Davidson MT500 (1984) Harley quiso a finales de los 80 nutrir al ejército estadounidense de una moto polivalente y dura, que pudiese estar con garantías en el campo de batalla. Esta fue la Harley-Davidson MT 500. En realidad, esta moto es una Armstrong MT 500 una moto muy simple que fue designada como la motocicleta para la OTAN. Pero… El motor de esta moto era un Rotax de un cilindro y 348 cc, producía unos 30 CV… y por supuesto de gasolina. Al ejército americano les gusto mucho, salvo por un asunto importante: ya que habían decidido estandarizar los combustibles todos a Diésel. 10. Kawasaki M103M1 (1991) Esta moto recogió el guante de la OTAN y se aprovechó del fracaso de la Harley MT500. ¿Qué lo militares quieren una moto Diésel? Pues aquí está. En realidad, no usa gasóleo, sino un combustible que el ejército americano usa en sus coches, tanques, aviones y todo lo que tenga motor…. Pero funciona como ciclo diésel.

Austin, Daewoo, DKW, Hispano Suiza, Hummer, Oldsmobile, Rover, Studewaker, Talbot, Triumph… Todas estas marcas, y muchas más, han desaparecido. A pesar de tener una gran tradición, enorme prestigio y modelos míticos. ¿Por qué? Os explicamos los motivos. Hemos dicho que os explicamos “los motivos”, porque hay más de uno. Hemos elaborado una lista de 10 marcas que es una pena que hayan desaparecido. Faltan más, no he metido a Pontiac, “poniac” como dicen los yanquis, porque ya tenía varias americanas; tampoco he metido a DeLorean, porque hizo un solo coche y su historia es muy conocida; tampoco he metido a Pegaso ni a Saab, porque la sueca se supone que no ha desaparecido del todo y porque de ambas hemos hecho un vídeo específico. Y hay otras muchas como Auto Unión, Hortch, MG, NSU, Sunbeam, Wosleley, Wanderer… esto suena a segundo vídeo. Ya os adelanto que habrá un vídeo de marcas españolas. 1. Austin (1905-1994) 2. Daewoo (1978-1999) 3. DKW (1916-1965) 4. Hispano-Suiza (1904-1946) 5. Hummer (1992-2010) 6. Oldsmobile (1897-2004) 7. Rover (1896-2005) 8. Studebaker (1852-1967) 9. Talbot (1903-1986) 10. Triumph (1890-1984) Coche del día. Voy a elegir un Talbot, pero un Talbot inglés que algunos poco conocedores confundían con el Horizon: El Talbot Sunbeam Lotus (1979-1981). Este coche llevaba un motor de 2,2 litros y 16 válvulas que en su versión de serie daba 150 CV de mucha calidad. La versión de Rallyes era una autentica pasada.

In this episode we learned a few things about Zwickau. As always Steven got to read some German sentences about it and tried to translate them into English. Zwickau ist eine Stadt im Osten Deutschlands. Zwickau is a city in the east of Germany. Mit rund 90.000 Einwohnern ist Zwickau die viertgrößte Stadt in Sachsen. With around 90,000 inhabitants, Zwickau is the fourth largest city in Saxony. Zwischen 1486 und 2013 war die Stadt 33-mal von Hochwasser betroffen. Between 1486 and 2013, the city was affected by floods 33 times. Der Komponist Robert Schumann wurde am 8. Juni 1810 in Zwickau geboren. The composer Robert Schumann was born on the 8th of June 1810 in Zwickau. Das Robert-Schumann-Haus ist eines der schönsten deutschen Musikermuseen. The Robert Schumann House is one of the most beautiful German musicians' museums. Es gibt insgesamt 18 öffentliche Wasserspiele in Zwickau. There are a total of 18 public water features in Zwickau. Zwickau ist die Wiege der sächsischen Automobilindustrie. Zwickau is the cradle of the Saxon automobile industry. Im Horch Museum kann man Autos von Audi, Horch, DKW und Trabant sehen. In the Horch Museum you can see cars from Audi, Horch, DKW and Trabant. Heutzutage baut Volkswagen in Zwickau Elektroautos. Nowadays, Volkswagen builds electric cars in Zwickau.

Los todo terreno siempre han tenido un encanto muy especial. Y siempre han sido un tipo de coche muy dados a soluciones diferentes y originales, como usar dos motores o seis ruedas, por ejemplo. Seguro que muchos de vosotros no habéis oído hablar de algunos de estos 10 coches. Ya sabéis que nos gusta daros otro punto de vista diferente. ¿Por qué? Porque el concepto todo terreno es relativamente joven, casi todo el mundo piensa que este tipo de coche se populariza a raíz de la Segunda Guerra Mundial gracias al Jeep. Pero en los inicios del automóvil todos los coches eran todo terreno. Esto es bastante obvio: Los todo terreno se les denomina también off road, fuera de carretera… y cuando no había carreteras todos los coches eran off road. Nos hacen gracia los coches más antiguos, altos y con ruedas de gran diámetro, que resultan chocantes en nuestras carreteras actuales. Estos coches eran así porque circulaban por caminos. En el periodo de entre guerras hubo un tremendo auge de construcción de carreteras y autovías; por lógica, cuando podías usar carreteras para ir a casi cualquier parte, comienza a tener sentido los coches especializados de off road. Vamos ya a ver esta lista de 10 coches que seguro que os va a encantar. 1. Daimler Dernburg Wagen (1907) Para muchos este es el primer genuino TT. Porque es cierto que en 1907 no había muchas carreteras en Europa. 2. Volkswagen Kubelwagen (1940-1945) Si del Daimler parece que se fabricó una sola unidad, de este TT se fabricaron más de 50.000. Este coche, simplemente un Escarabajo preparado para el TT, era el rival alemán del Jeep. 3. Volkswagen Schwimmwagen (1931-1944) Este modelo alemán no estaba derivado del Kubelwagen, sino que era un diseño diferente que ofrecía muchas mejoras, pues todos fueron de tracción total y todos eran anfibios. 4. Citroën 2 CV Sahara (1960-1967) El 2 CV no era tracción total y por su configuración mecánica, montar una tracción total no era fácil. Así que los ingenieros de Citroën pensaron que lo más barato y sencillo era meter, literalmente, un motor en el maletero. Y así lo hicieron. 5. Renault 6 Rodeo (1972-1987) Confieso que adoro este coche. Ya sabéis mi debilidad por las rarezas. Nadie duda de que este coche realizado sobre la plataforma del R6 estaba inspirado en el Mehari. 6. Gato Montés (1971) ¿Son suficientes 4 ruedas para un TT? ¿Hace falta dirección en un coche? Desde luego nadie puede decir que José Artés de Arcos era una persona falta de imaginación. 7. Fiat Campagnola (1951-1987) Más que raro, este coche es poco conocido, aunque se fabrico durante casi 40 años, desde 1951 hasta 1987 si incluimos su evolución, el “new Campagnola”. 8. Lamborghini L200 (1986-1993) Con la llegada del Range Rover en 1970 ya había coche TT de lujo. Pero Lamborghini inventó, con brillantez, un nuevo concepto: El TT deportivo. 9. URO (1981-actualidad) Estamos ante una rareza: Un coche que muchos confunden con una versión del Hummer y que es en realidad un coche diseñado y fabricado en Santiago de Compostela, en Galicia, en España. 10. Volkswagen Iltis (1978-1988) Si el Campagnola es el Jeep italiano, el Iltis es el Jeep alemán. Pero en este caso hay un mar de fondo, porque el Iltis es la versión VW del conocido como Jeep Munga un TT fabricado por DKW para el ejercito alemán.

Kenneth och Bobbo tar sig an historien om hur Audi förvandlades från en rosthög på fyra hjul till en premiumbil som många drömmer om, eller mardrömmer som vår producent Therese hittar en gammal DKW på en åker och vi kollar in en Audi 100l från 76. Kenneth känner på en Urquattro och Bobbo minns den där bilen han och brodern körde till Tyskland.

Hosted and produced by Britt Lawton.

In this podcast episode, artist Pebofatso Mokoena and David Krut Podcast host Britt Lawton are in conversation about Mokoena's first solo exhibition at the David Krut Gallery in Johannesburg titled 'Internal Probes' (27 February - 4 April 2020). Listening Time | 18 min Pebofatso Mokoena first collaborated with the team at David Krut Workshop (DKW) in the production of a hard-ground etching titled 'Statistical Weakness' in 2018. The collaboration built on the relationship Mokoena established as an intern at David Krut Projects (DKP) in 2016. In 2019, he was commissioned among four other artists to do a multi-colour silkscreen print for LATITUDES Art Fair as part of their VIP Package. The resulting print '¾ Progress on the Edge of Play' was completed in collaboration with printer Roxy Kaczmarek from DKW and displayed prominently at LATITUDES. Mokoena’s body of work in 'Internal Probes' mimics the mental experience of urban environments and modes of movement that are seemingly unstable, and the associated, unavoidable sense of claustrophobia and confusion. Density is a key formal feature of this body of work, and is visually achieved by both abstract and figurative elements, as well as technical decisions relating to colour and medium. Pebofatso opens up about the themes behind his latest body of work and the process whereby he translates them into works on paper. He also elaborates on his conceptual interests, issues of overpopulation, the effects of density on infrastructure and transport and the influence of skill-sharing and collaboration.

From knowing your numbers to recognizing when it’s time to create space for yourself as an Artist, in this week’s episode of the Big Money Stylist podcast, Danielle and Ani take on areas of the hair industry that are vital to one’s growth, success, and sanity. *EPISODE REPLAY* In Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week’s Episode…..PRODUCTION Point #1: Don’t Quit Danielle: It’s not until you hit so many “Oh shit!” moments that you actually start having a little more respect for people who have done what you’re doing, even if you don’t like them. Shit’s a lot harder than you think. There were so many times I wanted to quit but didn’t. And in the not quitting, I have become a better educator, a better person, a better mom. QUESTION What have you learned about yourself by not quitting? Point #2: Continuing Education Continuing education is key inside of the hair industry, both for the student AND the teacher. Danielle and Ani agree the more they teach, the more they learn how to become better educators. Ani: By scaling down inside of BMS we’re really pouring into the 250 students we have. Each week we have a small group of 15 students where the attention to detail is making a huge difference in their work. QUESTION Where in your world do you know you need to level up? What steps are you taking do to so? Point #3: Do the Work What has frustrated Ani for so long is when people look at her life and her job and only the fun aspects of it – the podcasts, being on stage, teaching, hanging out with Danielle – and want to experience ALL of that but are unwilling to do the work required. Ani: “In reality, that is a minuscule amount of what I actually do. Everything else I do doesn’t look fun. It’s a lot of work. It’s a lot of late nights, a lot of early mornings. You’re telling me you want to step into the company, get paid as a trainer underneath the umbrella of DKW, NBR, and BMS…but you don’t want to do any work for it?” QUESTION Where in your world are you unwilling to do the work required? Point #4: Know Your Numbers Ani: By the time artists attend BMS, many are nearly through with the industry. They’re working tons of hours and making next to nothing a lot of times. Danielle: If they actually looked at their numbers based off on the number of hours they’re working, even if they’re super successful, a lot of them want to break down and cry. Danielle: When I first started out, I was doing my numbers but they were very vague and were based on the deposits in my bank account. What I’ve learned is the power lies in the ability to look at your numbers and know how to adjust and problem solve so you’re constantly moving forward, otherwise, you’re regressing. QUESTION When is the last time you looked closely at your numbers? Point #5: Create Space to Breathe Danielle: When you own your own boutique, it’s not just the physical hours spent doing the art; there’s SO much more that goes into it. And without a full team supporting you, it’s so easy to run yourself into the ground. Ani: Once you start getting to overwhelm, it leads to exhaustion and irritability. EVERYTHING in your life is affected and you find you don’t have time to breathe. You NEED space to breathe. It’s vital for your sanity. QUESTION Where are you missing out on opportunities because you’re feeling overwhelmed and can’t see the clear picture of where you currently are in your business? Quote of the Week: “Don’t call yourself an educator and an expert inside of education if you don’t have reps educating. If you’re a client, do your research! Whether you’re going to a class or a salon, make sure you go to somebody you feel comfortable with AND who has reps inside of the industry you’re looking to get the service from.” –Danielle K White “It’s so cool to actually see people willing to go forward and do the work without feeling entitled, knowing it’s going to take more than one day, more than one mannequin head, and more than one client to actually become good at something.”

Krystal Coit, manager and backbone of DKW, is Ani’s guest co-host in this week’s episode of the Big Money Stylist. In this episode, the ladies have a conversation around the hiring and firing process, tips regarding communication with your employees, and how to handle emotions inside the workplace. Also, Ani has another whopper of a story to share! Please keep them coming! Send them to ani@hairextensionsecert.com or dm Ani on IG ani.dkwstyling. In Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week’s Episode…..Production Point #1: Systems & Processes Before Krystal moved into her current position as manager of DKW, she was at her former salon for fourteen years. She came into the world of DKW in the midst of a massive transitional period inside the salon approximately eight months ago (at the time of recording this episode). In conversations with Danielle, Krystal knew that the salon needed to implement some systems and processes, but what surprised her the most, and what has been the biggest challenge has been everybody’s personalities & emotions. “I don’t know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t people’s emotions.” QUESTION What processes and systems do you have in place to keep emotions from running wild inside your salon or business? Point #2: Emotion & Logic Ani feels she and Krystal are very similar when it comes to emotions and logic. “I feel like we’re not emotionless and at the same time realize that we are very fact-driven and very logical.” Ani used to think that the older one gets, the more one is able to compartmentalize and separate personal and business life…but that is not the case. As it turns out, age nor gender matter when it comes to feelings and emotions. Ani goes on to explain that one of the hardest things is when you have two people inside the same company/building who are dating. A lover’s quarrel brought to the workplace can create chaos and shit storms that affect everybody and everything around them. QUESTION What has been your experience with emotions gone wild inside of the workplace? Point #3: DKW's Hiring Process DKW is unique in how they approach the interview process, which involves at least3-4 parts. Rather than soliciting resumes, they request interested parties to submit a video about themselves which is followed up by a phone conversation with Krystal, and eventually, a conversation with Danielle. A video allows the team to get a taste of an applicant’s personality. They also get to see how they communicate and see if they are able to follow directions. If you’re in any kind of service industry, Ani feels it’s almost dangerous and risky to invite people in for an interview based solely on a resume. QUESTION What questions would you want an applicant to answer in a video they submit to you? Point #4: Are You a Good Fit? Ani: The worst possible thing you could ever do is hire out of desperation. When you do that, you’re going to hate them from the get-go, or when they show up, they’re not going to be what you wanted. The result is frustration all around, which leads to a shit storm. Krystal explains how in a salon, appointments sometimes run longer, especially at DKW where standards are high. And if something needs to be corrected, it’s going to happen – even if it means having the appointment run longer. A multi-step interview process allows you to get a feel for someone’s personality to see if they’re a good fit (or not) when situations like this arise. QUESTION As a result of this conversation, what changes are you going to make in your hiring process? Point #5:  Letting Someone Go As a business owner, there’s going to come a time when you’re going to have to let people go. For Krystal, “I have to work past my own emotion with it, especially if I have worked with someone for any period of time and have gotten close to them. At the end of the day, firing someone is a business decision, and I can’t let my emotions get involved with that.” Leading up to that process, there needs to be some follow-through on your part. It’s really important to be in communication with your staff with weekly check-ins. This helps you keep a pulse on where they are and if they have any concerns or issues, and it also creates a natural opening for two-way communication. Krystal also emphazises that documenting conversations is crucial – for all parties. QUESTION Are you being held hostage by someone inside of our business? If you are, what steps can you actually take to rectify that situation? Quote of the Week: “If it’s no longer working for you and it’s going to impede the growth of your company, letting go doesn’t have to be some big dramatic thing. Don’t think of it as a collision or an argument; it’s just a conversation. And sometimes it’s the conversation of hey, this doesn’t work anymore.” -Anianne Rivera “My advice? Go with your gut instinct when hiring. Make sure you have a process where you can see this person’s personality. If you don’t like them right off the bat, you’re probably not going to like them working for you. And finally, don’t hire out of desperation.” –Krystal Coit

Audi is reportedly bringing back Horch for its high-end vehicles. Horch, an early 20th-century luxury carmaker, was one of the four brands that originally formed Auto Union in 1932, together with Audi, DKW and Wanderer. The union of four carmakers chose a four-ring logo to stand for their joint venture, and the famous logo survives to this day on Audis. But Horch was always a higher-class product than Audis, and as an equal of Mercedes-Maybach the name should serve it well.  https://www.autoblog.com/2018/09/24/audi-horch-name-maybach-rival/ ====================== In Cyber Security News  From Nextgov A second alleged conspirator is currently in a Romanian prison awaiting extradition. A Romanian national has pleaded guilty for her role in hacking more than 125 surveillance cameras in the D.C. metro area ahead of the 2017 inauguration of President Donald Trump. Eveline Cismaru, 28, was charged with hacking into 126 computers connected to cameras installed and used by the Metropolitan Police Department and locking them down with ransomware, a type of malware used to extort targets by crippling IT systems until the hackers are paid.    https://www.nextgov.com/cybersecurity/2018/09/romanian-woman-pleads-guilty-hacking-dc-cameras-ahead-trump-inauguration/151463/ ============ and from Conde Nast Traveler Delta to Launch First Biometric Terminal in the U.S. at World's Busiest Airport The airline today announced plans to launch the first entirely biometric terminal in the U.S. "late" this year, at Atlanta's Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport's Terminal F.

In this episode, printer Chad Cordiero from the David Krut Workshop (DKW) chats to artist Rhett Martyn over his printing process and experience at DKW. This episode was recorded in our busy printmaking workshop where there is a constant buzz of creativity and artistic labour. The David Krut Workshop at Arts on Main in the Maboneng Precinct, Johannesburg is the centre of David Krut Project’s (DKP) artistic collaborations. The workshop has been involved in exciting print collaborations with artists since 2002. “In 2015, I was invited by the David Krut Workshop to collaborate on this series of prints. My intention was to produce architecture and landscape inspired works, showing off clean lines in desolate landscapes with Zen-like precision. With a dry point drawing needle and copper plate in hand, I set off thinking that my task would be completed promptly, however, the subsequent days of drawing and printing resulted in an epic journey taken on the surface of the plate. This series of prints unveils a psychological process playing out over time, a journey in which some of the places visited along the way are as interesting as the destination in the final edition of the print.” - Rhett Martyn CHAPTERS: 2:50 – Rhett's sculptural approach to drypoint 7:45 – Reverse archaeology in printmaking 8:45 – New work, imagery and the city of Johannesburg 12:30 – The frustration of the process 14:30 – The physicality of printmaking 17:30 – Rhett's upcoming project 1:10 Modernist Plunder : New Constructivists

Heads are rolling and things are about to get spicy as Danielle, Val, and Ani take on the hot topic of Protection in this week’s episode of Big Money Stylist. For Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week’s Episode…..PROTECTION Point #1: Copycats Val: We’re keeping our brand and education safe and sacred; we don’t want it getting watered down. The more it gets out there, the more copycats we have – but also the more eyes we have. We want people who are receiving NBR to have an amazing experience. That’s why we’re so protective of it. Ani: Why the fuck is Sally Sue training other people? This has been a week of “all eyes everywhere.” It’s not just all of our eyes and ears, it’s our students and artists as well. They have invested so much time, energy, blood, sweat, and tears into learning NBR and growing their business. QUESTION: What are you doing to protect the quality of the NBR brand? Point #2: Protecting Your Work Ani: We’re seeing artists who at one point in time were learning NBR from Danielle. They didn’t put in the work, started feeling entitled to something, and instead of thinking “I should do the work and get better,” they decided to make a “new” method and claim that it’s better, when in reality it’s the same fucking thing as NBR. Danielle: I used to lose sleep over this and I’d want to throw in the towel so many times. Now, it’s not just about me, it’s about the tribe we’ve built and all of our students. The only thing left to do is to protect, so we have a full-time lawyer on our team. As many copycats and crap that’s going on out there, and as much as we’re protecting it, my main goal is to focus on a quality experience.   QUESTION: How does doing the work protect you?   Point #3: Edit and Course Correct Val: I want my assistant to thrive and succeed, but I’m always looking at things from the perspective of looking out for my family. You have to remember that you’re running a business. With girls, everything gets so emotional, but it’s okay to say this isn’t working. If it’s not serving me or helping my business grow and I’m in the protective mindset, it’s easy for me to make non-emotional decisions. I’m constantly self-evaluating. If something’s not working, I course correct and change it. I never want to get comfortable, so I’m constantly cross-checking myself and editing so I can keep growing. QUESTION: Where in your life could you use some course correction and editing? Point #4: What Are Your Numbers Telling You? Danielle: So many stylists are so into the art that they don’t know their numbers and think they’re making more than they really are. We teach our students all the time that you have to know your numbers and that you can’t be that business owner who is ignorant. If you’re a salon owner and are merely breaking even, what’s the point? Ani: Garrett and Danielle came to us recently about the numbers with DKW. “Here are the numbers. This isn’t working and we have to course correct. This is what we’re going to do – you have the option to stay or leave. We want you to stay, so if you’re in, that’s great; if you’re out, we still love you.” That’s not something that’s easy for people or business owners to do, but is so necessary. QUESTION: Where in your life or business are you ignoring the numbers? Point #5: Protect Your Mindset Danielle: People listen to the voices in their head telling them all the reasons why they can’t do something, which keeps them small. It’s hard at first, but the ones who are willing to push through those voices are the ones that make it. Don’t ever doubt yourself, just push forward and protect your mindset. You have to get to a peaceful place inside of you, tune out the noise, and power through. It’s so important that you protect your mindset so that you don’t self-sabotage. QUESTION: What steps do you take to protect your mindset? Quote of the Week: “The topic of protection makes or breaks a lot of areas of your life. If you’re not protecting one area of your life and you’re falling short, it ultimately spills into every other area.” — Danielle White “If I give all of me wherever I am and protect that space, I feel like I succeed better.” –Valerie Plunk “A lot of times in life, we don’t think we’re worth it and we tend to keep playing small because of it. I feel like it’s something we have to constantly course correct. You have to protect every little piece of you because the minute you stop, that’s when shit starts going sideways.” –Anianne Rivera

It's all about good vibrations in this week's episode of Big Money Stylist. Knowing that one bad apple can indeed spoil the whole bunch, Danielle, Val, and Ani are highly protective of the vibe and energy of the artists and clients inside DKW, as well as inside their BMS educational classes. They are each highly intuitive and deliberately take steps to protect the energy in their personal space. For Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week's Episode…..PROTECTION Point #1: Vibes Speak Louder Than Words Danielle: I'm super protective of the energy around me. I need to be protective of who I surround myself with because that energy can ultimately pull me back or push me forward. I feel that people who have the same vibe, positive energy, and vision that I do – that we're not stagnant but are pushing each other forward. Coach Val: Ever since I was little, I've been super in tune with vibes. My mom always told me to run with that, to listen to those vibes. What and who I surround myself with definitely affects me. It's the unspoken vibe of people: your vibe speaks louder and truer than your words. You have to be protective against people who don't fit in with your vibe and energy. QUESTION: Are the people around you pulling you back or pushing you forward? Point #2: Protect the Tribe Coach Ani: We're very protective inside everything at DKW and BMS. We're a family here and we never let shit go too sideways because we know it's so important to the entire tribe. I feel energy so deeply and can tell when someone is sucking the energy out of everyone around them. The energy of one can completely throw off the energy of everyone else.  Coach Val: We're super protective of that vibe in our salon and in our education programs. Our vibes are positive and moving forward, and they're all about growth. If you're not in tune with that, you're not going to be part of us. This is why we do interviews prior to people coming to class. We want to make sure we have the right fit so everyone can grow at the pace they need to grow, and that no one's holding anyone else back. QUESTION: How do you protect your tribe?   Point #3: It's a Matter of Heart Danielle: Everything on paper about Garrett says absolutely not, grab your shit and get out. Energy comes down to listening with your heart, and not your head. My mind is very powerful, but ultimately I know the one thing I can trust is my heart. Sometimes I'll choose the thing or the person that looks pretty on paper, and then later realize I should have gone with my heart.  Coach Ani: I was raised by a mother who is deep into energy. When BMS was under construction, early in the morning and late at night I would go into the space and talk to the walls, “I love you, we're going to build great shit, it's going to be amazing, we're going to change lives here, think of all the great shit we're going to do.” QUESTION: Where is there evidence in your life of following your heart?   Point #4: Protect Your Space Coach Ani: The shit that we deal with inside of our BMS Mastermind is really heavy. Garrett told me I have to find a way to protect my energy and space, and definitely never take that heavy energy home. Inside of this space – this big white bubble – it's me, my energy, and only my energy. People can come to the outside but I can't let them in and affect me, or I literally can't do my job. Coach Val: I'm super protective of my husband and kids and what I 'll allow around them. Sacred comes to mind, which spills into all aspects of my life. My kids get to learn life lessons at recess but, other than that, I'm controlling that shit. Danielle: I keep sacred the time that I have for myself and with my family. Whether I'm out with my kids or on a date with my husband, I buffer everybody else out to protect that space with them.   QUESTION: How do you protect your space?   Point #5: Warrior Women Coach Val: I received a message from a girl I grew up with: “You and your team are changing the world, and you're changing the lives of people in industries other than the hair industry. You inspired me to take a leap of faith and go after my dream.” This is why we're protective. We know where we're going and we realize how many people we're affecting, and we don't want anything to hinder our growth.  Coach Ani: I get messages from people who say, “I wish I did hair just so I could come to BMS!” If you haven't yet looked up Warrior Women, go to warriorwomennow.com, watch the movie, and consider joining us in August. We've essentially merged Wake Up Warrior and BMS. It's so fucking cool to me that we get to go and influence others, that we're growing past the artists and get to protect and affect everyone else as well. QUESTION: When are you going to enroll in Warrior Women? Quote of the Week: “You have to protect your mind and your energy so you are delivering what you expect to be around you.” — Danielle White “Wherever I am, I am fully present and giving all of me. I try to compartmentalize and keep those energies where they need to be because they're super sacred. That way, I'm not bringing anything home or cross contaminating.” — Valerie Plunk “Where are you letting the boxes of your life cross contaminate? Are you letting one box affect another, which is then affecting another, and then it's bleeding all the way down? Take a look at your life: Where are you not protecting the energy that you need to?” –Anianne Rivera Stay Tuned for Next Week's Topic….POWER

In diesem Podcast berichten Zeitzeugen von ihren Motorradreisen in den 50er und 60er Jahren. Ilse und Kurt erzählen, wie sie mit ihrer DKW 250 von Dortmund in den Schwarzwald gereist sind. Einige Wochen nach dem Interview hielt Heinz Schulze einen besonderen Diavortag in der Karawane. Er folgte den Spuren von Inge Rogge, die im Winter 1965 zur Dragon Rally in Wales fuhr. Heinz ist diese Tour nachgefahren und hat später noch Zeitzeugen gefunden, die ebenfalls von Deutschland aus zu diesem Wintertreffen in Wales gefahren sind. Hermann war einer von ihnen und er erzählt von einen Erlebnissen unterwegs.

In this week's episode of Big Money Stylist, Danielle and her team have a conversation about increasing profitability and productivity, and how sometimes you have to take a step back as an artist and ask yourself:  Am I as good as I can be? For Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week's Episode.....PRODUCTION Point #1: Walk the Talk  Coach Val: Good for you-you've found your power, now you need to produce what you're saying you can actually do. In our arena, you have to be good at NBR. You can be good at finding your power and marketing, but that doesn't matter if your work is shit. We want artists to find their confidence, but you also need to have the skillset to back it up. Coach Ani: Inside of BMS and Mastermind, we have a really heavy focus on charging what you're worth, but here's the deal. Yes, we are here to empower people, but at the end of the day, you need to make sure that what you're charging, what you're having your clients pay, you're actually providing that amount of value to them. QUESTION: Take a look at your skillset: What are you actually producing? Point #2: Level Up Danielle: I remember when I decided to become more focused; when I decided to reclaim my power as an artist. I started comparing my work with the work I was seeing on social media and got curious about how I could fine-tune and level up my skills and craft to become the best at what I was doing. As far as being the best you can be behind the chair, you have to be able to back up what you're promoting. I would never want a client to sit in my chair or to be a part of my salon experience and feel underwhelmed. I'd rather have someone come and sit in my chair and say 'you guys are so much better in person!' QUESTION: Where in your life do you see that you need to level up? Point #3: Ego vs Confidence Coach Val: I feel there are two sides to the ego: the side that gives you the confidence to push through and keep going, and then the downside that actually stunts your growth. Coach Ani: The kind of ego that doesn't serve you is when you look at something and think you can automatically do it. Danielle: I think of Ego as the dickhead, where confidence is owning your power. You definitely want to have that confidence going into your work, but the ego is what drags you down; it's what takes something you could learn and grow from and keeps you stuck where you're at. QUESTION: What do you see inside of your life where maybe you're having a bit of an ego and not being realistic about the work that you're producing? Point #4: What is Your Why? Danielle: We're not looking to be platform artists to build popularity. We're looking to give our students results, we're looking to inspire them, we're looking to literally change the game; we're looking to get rid of old habits, patterns, and behaviors. For as long as I've been doing hair, being the celebrity stylist is not enough, making the kind of money I'm making is not enough, just teaching, in general, is not enough.  What is enough is knowing the impact we're making on so many people's lives. That's when you know we're doing some good shit. QUESTION: What is it that fuels you as an artist? Point #5: Growth Hounds Danielle: I have to constantly choose where to put up the blinders and where to focus, constantly reframe everything and ask myself, "What serves me"? Lately, I've been going into things asking myself if this isn't serving me, even if its a thought, how can I flip it to predict the outcome of my day?  Coach Ani: For me, it's doing constant things that make us better continuously. There's never a place where we feel stagnant - we're either moving forward or backward, there's never a place where we're just sitting still. Everyone here values growth so much that it's a constant push and hustle. QUESTION: What do you do to level up and improve? Quote of the Week: "Your marketing in front of the chair can only be as good as your magic behind the chair." -- Danielle White "We want you to charge what you're worth, but step back and take a good look: are you worth that? If not, what steps do you need to take to get to the price point that you feel confident in and that you are actually delivering that dollar amount of work - or over delivering, which is our end goal at DKW." -- Valerie Plunk "We always want all of our artists to  just be happy and to live a fulfilled life, having time with their family and not be stuck behind the chair six days a week and the one day you're off, doing laundry and napping. That's not a life that we want for them." --Anianne Rivera   Stay Tuned for Next Week's Topic....PROFIT

Danielle and her team have an in-depth and enlightening conversation around the topic of Capacity in this week's episode of Big Money Stylist, where the ladies share personal stories and experiences that have expanded their capacity as women and Artists. For Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week's Episode.....POWER Point #1: The Next Natural Step Danielle: We are capable of so much more than we allow ourselves. Once we push through a certain threshold, all of a sudden what was scary becomes the new norm. You change your capacity as a human being by being willing to put yourself in the right direction and throw yourself in front of the fire, learn and grow from it and continue to move on. Coach Val: When you're willing to get out of your comfort zone and keep pushing through your threshold, it's like the next natural step, a natural progression. Taking a step each day furthers your capacity to take on more and more in the name of growing to become a better version of yourself. QUESTION: How do you personally push through thresholds? Point #2: Triggers Danielle: We can be triggered when someone says or does something and it just drives you nuts. Maybe it's something about the “old you” and you just don't want to go back there. If I don't want to be that person, how do I step out of my comfort zone and become the newer, better version of myself? With triggers, you have to learn how to deal with them because triggers cause you to lose your power and you are no longer standing in the highest version of yourself. Coach Ani: What are you being triggered by and how are you responding to those triggers? Are you shrinking back and immediately going to a smaller version of yourself, or are you pushing forward to make your bucket bigger; to grow, expand and make your capacity even more, so that you can continue pushing through? QUESTION: How do you respond to triggers? Point #3: Growing or Shrinking? Coach Ani: Inside of DKW and BMS, we have such a large capacity that we are always pushing ourselves towards constant growth. Coach Val: When I'm around Coach Ani or Danielle, I want to play to the biggest version of myself because their capacity is inspiring to me. I always want to level up and not be left behind. Danielle: When we train people and hold space for people to grow, it allows them to become who they were meant to be. When you're training someone, you want to hold the frame for them to enable them to grow with you. You have to have everybody moving in an upward motion. QUESTION: How can you contribute to an environment of growth in your personal and business relationships? Point #4: From I Can't to I Can Danielle: People inside the network put walls up and say, "I can't fathom this." It's achieved in baby steps. Just entertain the idea and from there, see what happens. I feel women, especially, tend to have to have the whole thing mapped out from A-Z before taking action, which is why a lot of women get overwhelmed and say "I can't." Coach Ani: I feel like I've said those words, too. I'm not *that* person to do that, that's for somebody else. If I keep telling myself it's for somebody else, I'm somebody else for somebody else. I can be an inspiration to show someone else, but I have to get my head out of my ass and just do it. QUESTION: What are you saying "I can't" to in your life? Step back from that and simply entertain the thought of "I can" and see what happens. Point #5: Baby Steps Coach Val: For me it's all about baby steps. I'm going to do this and see where this takes me. I say yes, do it scared and just keep doing little baby steps even if I don't have everything planned out. Danielle: All we have to do is entertain the thought and take baby steps, and the next thing you know you have a different life and you're a different person. It's so silly that we play small. Once we begin opening each new door, I'm still me but look how much I've learned and grown. QUESTION: What door is right in front of you that you are afraid to step through?   Quote of the Week: "I had always felt like I wasn't a speaker or a trainer -  that I was just little shy Danielle -  until I attended a Tony Robbins event a couple of years ago. The turning point for me came when he introduced himself: "Hi. I'm Tony Robbins and I created this shit." It got me thinking about what I could create in my life, and who I could become, realizing that I'm the one who gets to create whatever I want in my life." -- Danielle White "If you hear that little tiny whisper in your head, listen to that guy because he's going to get louder. The sooner you listen to it - the sooner you start taking your steps and start growing - the sooner your capacity is going to grow and you're going to become that bigger, better version of yourself." -- Valerie Plunk "For me - moving from the midwest to Cali -  my first step was: if you were going to do it, where would you live? What would that look like? What else would I need? I literally took it step by step because I am *that* person. I want to have the whole alphabet plus 4 extra numbers at the end and then Plan B on top of it." --Anianne Rivera Stay Tuned for Next Week's Topic....PRODUCTION  

The DKW crew welcomes Jillian Cheen to the team as they discuss the hot topic of Profit in this week's episode of Big Money Stylist which just hit the top 30 in iTunes at the time of airing. For Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection   In This Week's Episode.....PROFIT Point #1:  Is it a Step Back or a Step Forward? The road leading to DKW may not have made a lot of sense to others, but for Coaches Val, Ani and Jillian it made perfect sense. It was definitely a step back for Coach Val, but she saw the clear vision from the get go, put her ego aside and dove in despite people around her questioning her choice to leave a full clientele and move to Laguna Beach to become an assistant working on commission. Coach Ani likes to look at her path as a parallel route. "This is the road I was on, I stepped off of it and went to the road next to it that could lead me higher and farther." With Coach Jillian's decision to go back to assisting, it may have seemed like a step back to some, but for Jillian it aligned with her vision. QUESTION: Where in your life has a door opened for you that looks like a step back, but will ultimately catapult you forward? Point #2: Ruthless Commitment Brings Major Profit Coach Ani knows that at the end of the day it all comes down to your commitment to change your life. "If you're not willing to do anything with the tools we've given to you, what do you expect from us at that point? You've got to put in some kind of effort." Coach Val knows the longer you stay committed to what you want, the faster you'll see results. She's loving the results in her life due to her ruthless commitment. Coach Jillian eats, lives and breathes her dream. She wakes up everyday with the attitude of "this is what I fucking want, and I know who I have to be in order to see the results I want." QUESTION: Where are you lacking ruthless commitment in your life? Point #3: Passion: Love on Another Level Coach Ani: My true heart and soul passion is training inside of BMS. That's my happy place. It's what I know I'm supposed to do. If it was taken away from me, that would crush my soul and a part of me would die. For Coach Val, passion is love on another level. "No matter what other roles I take on around me, I still have to have time behind the chair as an Artist. I need that artistic outlet doing color and the NBR extensions that I love so much because it feeds me." QUESTION: What feeds your soul?   Point #4: Accountability Not Blame Coach Jillian always used to feel like a victim and thought that everything was happening to her. "I looked back in my life and started taking accountability for my actions and seeing my part in all of it. My dreams have come true in such a short amount of time because I had the courage to look inward and began changing who I was being." Coach Val: It is so freeing to have accountability. You never have to have that victim mentality. You can't change anyone else's actions but what you can change is how you show up and what you deliver. QUESTION: Where in your life are you not seeing the profit that you want to see because you have not committed to anything, you haven't found your passion or you're pushing it away? Point #5: Vision Quest Coach Ani: Something that we do inside BMS is what we call Vision Quest where we sit on the beach and ask ourselves: Who do you want to be 12 months from now? Who is that person? What does she look like? How does she talk and walk? What is her job? What is she doing? Coach Val: Because I am so clear on my vision, every decision that I make is leading me to pave the way for other people to come in and live that vision themselves. It's because of this vision that I will stop at nothing to make sure it comes to fruition. QUESTION: What vision do you have for yourself that you are ruthlessly committed to?   Quote of the Week: "The profit of me living out my passion in each of these areas of my life is this beautiful life that I am very protective of. If something is not serving me or going towards the passions of my life, then it's not a part of my life. Everything in my life right now is contributing to my passion so that I can have this beautiful life that I'm living. -- Valerie Plunk "There comes a point when it's not about the money. It's about me and the commitment I have to myself and the life I want. On my deathbed I want to look back on my life and say, you fucking did it. Good for you. Everything you wanted to accomplish,  you did it." --Anianne Rivera "You can have a big end result you're shooting for, but make sure you have small little markers for you to hit along the way. Once you hit that marker, don't just say I'm good now, you have to push to the next one. You can't just sit still because when you do that, you're going backwards. When you reach your result, have bigger dreams." --Jillian Cheen     Stay Tuned for Next Week's Topic....PROTECTION

This week's conversation centers around the topic of Profit, specifically why it's important to know and track your numbers. The BMS Stylist podcast continues to rank #1 in iTunes within the category of Fashion & Beauty, which speaks volumes about the massive value being delivered to an industry hungering for what Danielle K. White and her team share each week. For Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week's Episode.....PROFIT Point #1: Tracking Reveals the Truth Danielle: The Artist Ego is something we've all been guilty of where we brag about what an awesome week or quarter we've had, yet the actual numbers reveal a different reality. It's important to remember that tracking numbers is meant to bring awareness, not discouragement. Coach Ani: In our Mastermind classes, we have created a space where our students are very comfortable sharing their numbers in great detail, something normally viewed as a societal taboo. At the end of the day, numbers simply reveal where you are today. If you don't know where you are right now, how can you expect to move forward with a realistic goal? QUESTION: When will you retire exhaustion as a form of currency and a barometer of your success, and replace it with the proven system of tracking your numbers? Point #2: Power Practice and Daily Four Coach Val: We require our students to practice NBR every single day. Daily repetition puts you on the Fast Track to Success. Danielle: After so much repetition, the technique has become second nature for me, allowing me to concentrate on the artistic side of color and blending - one of the biggest problems I see within the industry with hair extensions. Coach Ani: We require our students to do and track four things every single day: 1. Post a picture. 2. Post a video. 3. Send an audio message to a client. 4. Write a text post. This takes time, it takes effort, and it's something you have to get into the habit of doing - and it's insanely important! It wasn't until Coach Kenzi started tracking her social media presence that her eyes were opened and showed her where she needed to make some shifts in her marketing to bring her the results she desired. QUESTION: How has being consistent in your daily repetitions and marketing changed your results? Point #3: Converting Mindsets Danielle: When using a funnel or some sort of paid promotion, if you're not a household name, your job is to convert mindset. We may lure a person in with a pretty photo, but then we use videos and written copy to share our experiences and to educate, which changes a cold lead into a warm one really fast. Coach Ani: Converting a mindset isn't about us convincing, forcing or coercing clients, rather it's about them telling themselves that they want what we have been sharing with them via a ten minute video. If you do the convincing and converting, it's buyer's remorse every single time. QUESTION: What can you change in your advertising to create a different experience for your potential clients? Point #4: Leads, Applications and Consultations A lead is someone who has said, "Yes, I want to come sit in your chair." We personally talk with every single person who applies to either sit in our chair, attend a convention or one of our trainings because we want to make sure we are a good fit and vibe for each other. Coach Val: When we read through the applications and have conversations with potential clients, we are able to get on the same page with them, creating a bond that replaces the robotic production line mentality that is so prevalent within the industry. QUESTION: What could be possible for you in your business if you began having conversations with clients ahead of time? Point #5: It's In the Details Coach Kenzie: In going through and figuring out all of the details, including how much I was making per hour, I realized that although I may have been making good money, I wasn't ever seeing my husband, and on my days off all I wanted to do was sleep and do online shopping. In everything the DKW team does, looking to keep the status quo is not one of them - whether it's requiring a deposit to hold a spot on the books, raising prices, or with some Artists choosing to not work weekends. Once you have something you can measure and track, your decisions become clearer and easier and you see how tracking your numbers affects every single choice that you make. At the end of the day, it let's you discover for yourself what is worth it and what is not. QUESTION: How much money are you really making  per hour?   Quote of the Week: "What's the point of making good money if you don't have time to build relationships with those people whom you care about; if you don't have time to experience life? People will carry out that pattern [making great money yet never seeing their loved ones] for five to ten years, and I wonder how they are going to repair that? A lot of times people break up or get divorced because it was a false relationship. It might be rough, but take a good look in the mirror." -- Danielle White "You go into your day confidently when you already know who's going to be in your chair. You've already had a conversation with them and you have established a level of trust with each other, which creates an amazing vibe and environment in which to do top quality work." -- Valerie Plunk "Go forward in your business in a place of truth and facts, where your business actually is. Look at the numbers, look at the facts and decide: Are you in a place that you're happy? Are you actually happy with the money you're making? Are you happy with the amount of time you're spending behind the chair? Are these numbers making sense to you?" --Anianne Rivera "How is it fair that every other industry raises their prices and no one bats an eye, yet for some reason we have allowed it in our industry to be okay with not raising our prices? In any other industry it's okay for a person to choose their hours, yet in our industry it's not acceptable if you don't work weekends. As Artists we've allowed that to be the norm, and it's our responsibility to change that." --McKenzi Davis     Stay Tuned for Next Week's Topic....PROTECTION

A new voice has joined the BMS Team in a permanent way with McKenzi Davis, the newest member of the head BMS Team and stylist inside of the DKW salon. The conversation this week is about Production, specifically taking a close look at all areas of Marketing. ________________________________________________________ For Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection __________________________________________________ In This Week's Episode.....PRODUCTION Point #1: Marketing: Are You Frozen in Time or Evolving? Danielle: With the market constantly changing and evolving, there's not a set "A-Z Checklist to Making Millions" for people to follow. Test the market and run targeted ads to find out what's working and what isn't, level up your skills, and take advantage of the organic marketing available within social media. Marketing for Coach Val and Coach Kenzie felt foreign at first. Like most stylists, referrals were how they built up their books - that's what they knew and what they were comfortable with. Their mindsets changed once they began seeing their results using social media and paid, targeted ads. QUESTION: When was the last time you invested dollars into your marketing? Point #2: The Art & Seduction of the Close Coach Val (aka: Assassin Closer) has the confidence that when a client sits in her chair, she will be able to produce the results they are looking for. Coach Kenzie says convincing and coaching your clients never works and often results in buyer's remorse. Danielle: If you say you are not good at sales, it's because you need to become better at your craft. Becoming better at your craft leads to loving your work more, which naturally leads to the sale. QUESTION:Are you engaged in the art of seduction or the game of convincing? Point #3: Deliver What You Market Danielle: It doesn't matter how good your marketing is, if you are not an expert at your craft you'll disappoint the marketplace. So stop worrying if you're making more money if you're not the BEST at your craft. Continue to be better. Always strive to be better and through time, results will follow. Coach Ani: We have so much content out on social media, that NBR is a recognizable brand at this point. Everyone knows what it's supposed to look like: the rows, the blend, the cut and color. What we've seen are artists coming in who are not fully committed to doing the work and whose unhappy clients end up reaching out to us. QUESTION: Where would upping your skills lead to better results and happier clients? Point #4: Systems Yield Sustainable and Predictable Results If you can market to anyone and everyone - and you can close them - but you don't have any kind of system in play, that's when shit goes sideways, things fall through the cracks, and you're not really sure where to go from there. Coach Val: We are constantly growing and expanding so every last detail has a system, allowing things to run smoothly, which also enables duplication. When Coach Ani went from pre funnel to post funnel, she saw a complete shift in her clients and no longer played the convincing game. Coach McKenzie: Having a targeted funnel has taken away the stress and heaviness of being a slave, allowing me to have the clients I want - clients that allow me to be an artist doing what I am passionate about. QUESTION: What link in the chain of your systems is broken? Is your marketing reflecting the ideal client you want to have sitting in your chair? Point #5: Capturing Permission Coach Ani: Capturing permission can be a phone number or an email - you are getting their permission in some way, shape or form to contact them. Coach Val: Capturing emails allows you to stay forefront in their mind; it's a fast and efficient way for us to communicate with those who have already been saying yes, allowing them to make decisions in their own time frame. QUESTION: What system do you have in place to capture emails?   Quote of the Week: "We are always about testing. Whenever something gets over saturated, it's time to think through things differently. I've always been a big fan of trying to figure out how to get ahead of the game and predictIng where trends are going. Right now, we are doing a shitload of targeted ads through social media to find out what's working and what's not. I think people get freaked out about investing in their business because there's so much free marketing on social media and they put all of this time and engagement on in it, and in the end - when all is said and done - they're getting paid like $4 and hour." -- Danielle White   "I'm literally excited for each client! My wheels start turning the night before: I look at my books for the next day and I'm like ‘this is what I'm going to do for this person and I'm already seeing where I want to add dimension; this is where I want to brighten her up.'  There's this super artsy side that I never have to let die because I have that right client in my chair, and I get to have the freedom to do what I love. They trust me. I have people coming to me because they like the message I am putting out. I love it." -- Valerie Plunk   "You are getting their permission in some way, shape or form to contact them. If you are banking on being able to talk to your 30k following on Instagram whenever you want, what happens when all of a sudden Instagram shuts down and says, "We're done!" That's why having a way to capture their email is so important - and no one can take that away from you because you own that list. They said 'yes' to you." --Anianne Rivera   "If you have been thinking about it [Convention], if you are on the fence, if you have been listening to the podcast - there's a reason. There's something inside of you that's telling you this is important. Stop getting frustrated in your job or whatever you're doing and just take the leap. You know you need to. Convention will change everything for you!" --McKenzi Davis   Stay Tuned for Next Week's Topic....PROFIT  

The BMS Crew is a bit sparse in this week's episode but no less fierce as Coach Ani and Val tacks the topic of Profit. This is where you are reaping the benefits of the power and production that you've put into your business. In this case with Ani and Val, it's in the salon as NBR Trainers for DKW Salon, but can definitely apply beyond the hair industry. For Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection   In This Week's Episode.....PROFIT Point #1: Profit Defined Profit means different things to different people. Monetary is the most obvious answer. The money you see from the work that you are putting in. At the end of the day it's about reaping the benefits of all the hard work, time, and energy that was put into something. It is a reflection of everything that you did. Many Artists will say I'm working hard but my account isn't reflecting the 12 hour days, 6 days a week, the exhaustion, the time away from family. At that point you have to figure out what that missing component is because the is profit isn't there.   QUESTION: How do you define profit in your life?   Point #2: Numbers Bring Clarity Val didn't give a shit about numbers because it stressed her out. She would use the excuse of "I'm an artist" to not hold herself accountable. Many artists like to operate in the space of "I'm free, I'm an artist." and because of that they tend to think numbers aren't important. The numbers tell you a story of where you're really at and many people are not ready to face that reality. Anianne has always loved numbers. She has her numbers written by month since 2013. The numbers showed her that the business decisions she was making were paying off, working less but making more money. That gave her the push to continue to make hard business moves.   QUESTION: Have you taken a hard look at your numbers recently, or are you making excuses to avoid them?   Point #3: Abundance vs. Scarcity Val would see someone who was successful, actresses, singers, etc, and think they got an inheritance or they had an "in" somewhere. She didn't realize how much hard work goes into other industries and craft. She grew up in a modest household and assumed that is how she was meant to live, not realizing she could get to another stage in her life.  Scarcity is that you don't have enough of something. It comes with a sense of fear. Abundance from an artist standpoint is not servicing every client. It is having enough leads coming in that you are doing QUALITY clients, the right kind of client for you. Once Anianne stopped feeling desperate and left the place of scarcity she was able to stop working 6 days a week, eventually cutting it in half and only working 3 days a week.  She no longer came from a place of panic.   QUESTION: Where in your life are you living in abundance and scarcity?   Point #4: Your Mental Mindshift Once Val left scarcity she wouldn't put up with the same bullshit. Clients coming in and telling her what to do, having an attitude, was no longer accepted. She knew she had the marketing tools underneath her belt to get another client  so she doesn't have to put up with it. Now everyone that sits in her chair is someone that wants to be there and trusts her in her craft. Everyone gets the amazing experience. Marketing puts the perfect client in your chair. Anianne bent over backwards for clients when she was living in scarcity. Even to the point of having to wear long sleeves to cover up her tattoos. She was making herself miserable by catering to them in fear of losing them if she didn't. Now coming from a place of abundance she is able to attract clients that she vibes and gels with. Scarcity doesn't exist inside DKW Styling Salon because the constant marketing is bringing new leads in everyday.   QUESTION: How would your life be different if you went from operating in scarcity to abundance ?   Point #5: Profit isn't just money Although both Anianne and Val have received profit in the form of money, that is not the way it has shown up in their lives. The income Val sees is great but really the freedom is the biggest result. The ability to have quality time with her kids and husband, go on vacations, and do fun things together. That is what makes everything worth it for Val.  Although Anianne was making great money in Missouri she wasn't happy there. The clients and 12 hours days were draining her mentally, emotionally, and physically. It was making her miserable. BMS showed her a new way of life and having the ability to move to California has been the biggest form of profit that Anianne has seen. It's always been a dream to live by the beach and now that is a reality.   QUESTION: In what other ways do you see profit in your life?   Quote of the Week: "The system works, I'm here to say that as living proof. I'm grateful for it. I'm excited to see where it goes for DKW, BMS and for all our current and future students. I'm excited for them to get a taste of this. " -- Valerie Plunk "I went from making 4k a month to over 20k a month in barely over a year. Garrett would say jump, I'd say how high? I'd think he lost he damn mind but I did it anyway. That's why I believe in [BMS] so much... it has changed my life so drastically. " --Anianne Rivera     Stay Tuned for Next Week's Topic....PROTECTION   http://bigmoneystylistnow.com

The Two Guys with PhDs are back for another round of reviews, and this week they enthusiastically plunge into three new titles. First, they look at Bryan Lee O'Malley's new book, Seconds (Ballantine), his much-anticipated follow up to the Scott Pilgrim series. Andy and Derek comment on the expectations surrounding this new work, and they conclude that the book is worth the build up and the wait. This is a much more mature work than the Scott Pilgrim books, not only in terms of subject matter, but also with O'Malley's displays of storytelling. The premise is clever — a unique twist on time-travel narratives — and there's a self-conscious tone that adds to the humor. Despite the book's “too neat” ending, at least to Derek's mind, it's a successful work that stands alongside (if not surpasses) O'Malley's previous comics. Next, the guys get to Sergio Ponchione's tribute to Steve Ditko, Jack Kirby, and Wally Wood, DKW (Fantagraphics). This one-shot is a good introduction to the personas of the legendary trio, although it comes up a little short in truly relating their styles and the impact they had on the industry. Derek and Andy wonder who the intended audience is for this comic, and they feel that this might be a useful title to make available next year for Free Comic Book Day. Finally, the Two Guys wrap things up with a discussion of Bodies #1 (Vertigo), the first in a new miniseries from Si Spencer. This is an intriguing murder mystery title that's divided into four parts, each involving the same dead body but taking place in four different time periods. And each of the four sections is illustrated by a different artist: Dean Ormston, Phil Winslade, Meghan Hetrick, and Tula Lotay. This is just another great example of the great comics Vertigo is still producing, and the guys wish there were more coming out from their beloved DC imprint.
