Jeannette Linfoot speaks with Fergal O'Connor, the highly competitive founder and CEO of Buymedia, one of the fastest-growing companies in Ireland. In this episode, Fergal shares how Buymedia is continuing its rapid growth, recently launching into the UK market as part of its mission to transform the global advertising landscape. Fergal explains how he is democratising the advertising world for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) by leveraging AI to ensure every pound of ad spend delivers real business results. He opens up about his story, his deep competitive drive, and his unexpectedly shy nature. Fergal explains why: Revenues and customers will solve most of the business problems. You can go fast by yourself, but you can't go far unless you have a high-energy team around you. Why asking “Please tell me where my baby is ugly" to find what is wrong with your product or process early will help you solve it. You shouldn't be afraid to share your ideas with mentors, as people are generally too busy with their own work to steal them .

In der aktuellen Podcast-Folge hatte ich erneut Wolfgang Philipp von Phantasia zu Gast. Ein Jahr nach unserem ersten Gespräch haben wir uns diesmal über die nächste große Hürde der Elektromobilität unterhalten: den Übergang vom Early Adopter zur Early Majority. Wolfgang, ein erfahrener Marketing-Stratege für Automobilhersteller, hat diesen Wandel nicht nur beobachtet, sondern auch analytisch durchdrungen – mit dem Technology Adoption Lifecycle als Kompass. Die zentrale Erkenntnis unseres Gesprächs: Die Käuferschicht verändert sich – und mit ihr die Anforderungen an das Produkt Elektroauto. Während Early Adopters bereit waren, Ladeprobleme, App-Chaos und fehlenden Service in Kauf zu nehmen, verlangt die Early Majority ein ganz anderes Nutzererlebnis. „Jetzt kann man die Autos nicht mehr wie Handys verkaufen, sondern muss sie wieder wie Autos verkaufen“, brachte Wolfgang es auf den Punkt. Besonders spannend fand ich seinen Hinweis auf die sich verschiebenden Marktanteile: Während Tesla mit seinem Online-Direktvertriebsmodell Marktanteile verliert, rücken Hersteller wie Volkswagen wieder stärker in den Fokus. Denn die neue Käufergruppe möchte das Auto anfassen, Probe fahren – und einen menschlichen Ansprechpartner haben. Die Schwächen der etablierten Hersteller werden plötzlich zu Stärken. Mein eigenes Erlebnis mit einem Tesla Model 3 hat mir gezeigt, wie frustrierend fehlender Service im Problemfall sein kann – und dass ich mir genau deshalb einen echten Kontakt zum Hersteller wünsche. Ein Thema, das Wolfgang besonders wichtig ist: der Wiederverkaufswert. Für viele Käufer der Early Majority ist das Elektroauto keine Spielerei, sondern eine langfristige Investition. Unsicherheiten bei der Batterielebensdauer oder Marken mit unklarem Servicenetz (Stichwort Fisker) schrecken ab. Auch beim Thema Laden sprach Wolfgang klare Worte: „Die Leute wollen nicht mehr über Ladeplanung nachdenken. Die wollen einfach einsteigen, fahren und laden – so wie beim Verbrenner tanken.“ Damit spricht er vielen potenziellen Käufer:innen aus der Seele. Plug & Charge, klare Tarife und funktionierende Software sind keine Kür mehr, sondern Pflichtprogramm. Datenschutz war ein weiteres Thema, das im Gespräch an Bedeutung gewann. Während Early Adopters oft wenig Augenmerk darauf legten, wird es für die neue Käuferschicht zum zentralen Vertrauenskriterium. „Das ist jetzt eine Riesenchance für europäische Marken. Wer hier glaubwürdig Transparenz zeigt, kann wirklich punkten.“ Eine Aussage, die mir besonders im Kopf geblieben ist – und sicher nicht nur für die hiesige Industrie relevant ist. Und wie geht es weiter? Wolfgang sieht uns mitten in der Early Majority-Phase, die sich über Jahre strecken wird. Danach folgt die Late Majority, die nochmals einfacher abgeholt werden muss. Erst dann wird das Elektroauto wirklich zum neuen Standard. Aber: Wer jetzt überzeugt, gewinnt die Märkte von morgen. „Diese Käuferschicht sind die zukünftigen Ambassadors. Wenn es bei denen gut läuft, folgen andere. Wenn nicht, wird's schwierig.“ Und ich bin mir sicher: Da kommt noch einiges auf uns zu. Jetzt aber genug der Vorrede – lasst uns direkt ins Gespräch einsteigen.

Zusammenfassung:Nach einer kurzen Pause steigen Alois und Oliver im gewohnten Deep-Tech-Duett in das wohl umstrittenste Thema der Gegenwart ein: Was passiert mit Kreativität, wenn Künstliche Intelligenz im Takt vorgibt? Ausgangspunkt ist die Band „Velvet Sundown“, ein komplett KI-generiertes Musikprojekt, bei dem nicht nur die Songs, sondern auch die Storys und Charaktere aus der Maschine kommen – und trotzdem klingt das Ergebnis erstaunlich „echt“.Die beiden fragen sich: Wie kreativ kann eine KI eigentlich sein? Und was bedeutet das für Künstler, Kreative, aber auch für die Gesellschaft insgesamt? Während für viele Kreative KI noch immer wie der sprichwörtliche „Evil Twin“ wirkt – eine Bedrohung, die das eigene Werk kopiert, verändert und verwertet, ohne dass sie selbst gefragt oder entlohnt werden –, sehen andere in der Maschine längst eine neue Muse. Ein prominentes Beispiel: Der Dirigent Kristjan Järvi, der in der KI keinen Feind, sondern einen Resonanzraum für eigene Ideen sieht. Für ihn amplifiziert KI die eigene Kreativität, liefert Inspiration, macht Experimente und Variationen möglich, die vorher schlicht nicht machbar waren – und das rund um die Uhr, wann immer der kreative Funke zündet.Die Hosts diskutieren, dass genau darin eine Riesenchance liegt, vor allem für alle, die gerne prokrastinieren oder auf Inspiration warten: KI wird zum Brandbeschleuniger der kreativen Schaffensphase. Gleichzeitig eröffnet die Demokratisierung von KI-Werkzeugen ungeahnte Möglichkeiten – plötzlich kann jeder ohne Vorkenntnisse Songs komponieren, Visuals erschaffen oder eigene Podcasts musikalisch begleiten. Die Schattenseite: Es droht eine neue Spaltung. Nicht nur zwischen Early Adopters und Skeptikern, sondern auch zwischen denen, die die Tools wirklich beherrschen und ihren individuellen Stil einbringen – und denen, die sich mit Standard-Lösungen zufriedengeben und so zur großen Gleichmachung von Kunst und Content beitragen.Nicht nur die Kunstszene steht vor einer Bewährungsprobe: Auch das Urheberrecht gerät ins Wanken, weil heutige Gesetze mit dem rasanten Fortschritt nicht mehr mithalten. Während einige Künstler sich durch KI-Tools betrogen fühlen, fordern andere offene Experimentierräume – und neue Regeln, die den kreativen Remix und die Zusammenarbeit von Mensch und Maschine fair regeln.Im weiteren Verlauf der Folge machen Alois und Oliver klar, dass es auch auf gesellschaftlicher Ebene um eine Lernkurve geht: Wer die Potenziale von KI nutzen will, braucht nicht nur Offenheit, sondern auch echte Datenkompetenz („AI Data Literacy“). Diejenigen, die bereit sind, sich in neue Tools und Arbeitsweisen einzuarbeiten, werden massiv effizienter und produktiver – egal ob als Künstler, Texter, Programmierer oder Wissensarbeiter. Wer sich verweigert, läuft Gefahr, abgehängt zu werden. Die Hosts fordern daher mehr niedrigschwellige Angebote, Weiterbildung und das Bewusstsein, dass KI zwar viel verändern, aber die kreative Rolle des Menschen niemals komplett ersetzen wird. Im Gegenteil: Menschliche Kuratierung, individuelle Ideen und die Fähigkeit, Workflows zu orchestrieren, bleiben zentral – und werden durch KI eher noch wichtiger.Am Ende bleibt die Erkenntnis: KI ist weder Bedrohung noch Heilsbringer – sondern ein neues Werkzeug, das Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft und Kultur genauso herausfordert wie einst Buchdruck, Schreibmaschine oder Computer. Wer diese Welle reitet, profitiert. Wer stehen bleibt, wird schnell überholt. Entscheidend ist die Bereitschaft, die neuen Möglichkeiten zu erkennen, zu gestalten – und dabei den eigenen kreativen Wert neu zu definieren.

In this episode of Predictable B2B Success, host Vinay Koshy sits down with Bob King—seasoned sales expert, author of The Joy of Closing, and former filmmaker—to explore why the traditional, product-centric sales mindset falls short in today's complex B2B landscape. With insights drawn from decades of experience spanning retail, B2B, in-home sales, and even the film industry, Bob challenges conventional wisdom about closing, persuasion, and providing value. Why do so many B2B brands struggle to connect with real decision-makers and lose prospects not to better solutions, but to perceived apathy and indifference? How can one pitch, delivered with sincerity and emotional intelligence, change your company's whole trajectory? And what can storytelling and a bit of "one-call magic" teach us about influencing the buying committee, without resorting to tired sales tactics? Get ready for candid stories, practical frameworks, and hard-earned advice that could transform the way you approach trust-based selling forever. If you've ever wondered what it means to close with integrity—or found yourself wishing for a bit more joy along the way—this conversation is for you.

Can you believe Betamax turns 50 this month? On this week's show we look at how the VCR changed the entertainment industry and gave us a reason to build our home theaters. We also read emails and take a look at the week's news. News: YouTube Is Swallowing TV Whole, and It's Coming for the Sitcom Roku adds more premium features to its own line of midrange TVs Other: Philips Hue Play HDMI sync box 8K Cosm The Betamax Turns 50 this Month In the late 1970s, the arrival of the Video Cassette Recorder (VCR) sparked a seismic shift in entertainment, as detailed in a recent Hollywood Reporter feature. Initially met with skepticism by studios fearing piracy, the VCR became a cultural juggernaut, reshaping how audiences consumed media and how Hollywood operated. By 1987, home video revenue surpassed theatrical box office earnings, with VHS tapes turning movies like Top Gun into cultural touchstones that families could own and rewatch endlessly.  The VCR democratized access to films, birthing the video rental industry—think Blockbuster's neon-lit aisles—and empowering consumers to curate their viewing experiences. It also gave studios a lucrative new revenue stream, with tapes priced high for rentals before dropping for mass ownership. Yet, the technology wasn't without flaws: tracking issues, bulky machines, and the dread of “Be Kind, Rewind” defined the era.  Beyond movies, the VCR enabled niche content to thrive, from fitness tapes to obscure genres, while fueling Hollywood's sequel-driven franchises. As The Hollywood Reporter notes, the VCR's legacy endures in today's streaming wars, where on-demand viewing owes its roots to those clunky cassettes. The VCR didn't just change Hollywood—it rewired how we connect with stories. Here are some fun facts about the VCR (Video Cassette Recorder): First Commercial VCR: The Ampex VRX-1000, introduced in 1956, was the first commercially available VCR. It cost around $50,000 (equivalent to over $500,000 today) and was primarily used by TV studios, not homes. Home VCRs Arrived Late: The first consumer VCR, the Philips N1500, hit the market in 1972 in the UK. It was pricey (around £400, or $4,000 today) and could only record for about an hour. Format Wars: The 1970s saw a fierce battle between Sony's Betamax (1975) and JVC's VHS (1976). VHS won due to longer recording times (up to 4 hours vs. Betamax's 1 hour initially) and better marketing, despite Betamax's slightly superior picture quality. Rental Boom: Video rental stores exploded in the 1980s because VCRs were affordable, but tapes were expensive ($50-$100 each). The first Blockbuster opened in 1985, capitalizing on this trend. Time-Shifting Revolution: VCRs introduced “time-shifting,” letting people record TV shows to watch later. This was groundbreaking, though networks initially feared it would kill live TV. A 1984 U.S. Supreme Court ruling upheld home recording as legal, boosting VCR popularity. Early Adopters' Struggles: Early VCRs were clunky, with complex controls. The infamous “blinking 12:00” on VCR clocks became a cultural joke because many users couldn't figure out how to set the time. Global Impact: By 1980, only about 1% of U.S. households had a VCR, but by 1990, over 70% did. Japan led early adoption, with companies like Sony and JVC driving innovation. Peak Sales Period (1977–2000): The VCR was a dominant consumer electronics product for about two decades. We can estimate U.S. sales alone at approximately 100–200 million units over this period. Market Decline: VCR sales peaked in the 1980s and 1990s but declined sharply in the early 2000s as DVDs overtook VHS. By 2003, DVD sales surpassed VCR sales, and the last VCRs were manufactured by Funai in 2016.

Join us for this look into materials chemistry, developed under the guiding principles of sustainability and a systems approach.Dr. Zlatka Stoeva, Co-founder and Managing Director of DZP Technologies, discovered her love of chemistry out of boredom as a child. She then traveled to unknown lands to master her science and discover the value of mentors while doing amazing work on lithium-ion battery chemistry. A stint in the technology transfer office at Cambridge showed her how fundamental research can be translated into real-world solutions that can change lives, and this inspired her to start her own company.In providing CRO services and developing IP to help companies address market needs using unique materials, Stoeva and her colleagues approach problems with a systems mindset that is common in engineering, but not always chemistry. We hear about their work in “plastic electronics” that leverage biological materials and consider sustainability aspects while delivering results. We also hear about their exciting work using graphene materials to produce digitized materials that can code information about how they're made and their interactions with the environment.Check out this great episode that balances a wonderful personal story, amazing science, and great bits of advice to guide your science and career development!Related episodes:Season 5, Ep.1: Batteries unplugged: past, present and the electrifying futureSeason 4, Ep.4: Women in chemistry: learnings from one of the greatestSeason 4, Ep.2: The father of green chemistrySeason 3, Ep.9: Energy harvesting and self-sustainable greenhousesSeason 2, Ep.8: Sustainability as an entrepreneurial choiceSeason 2, Ep.3: Rethinking catalysisBonus content!Access bonus content curated by this episode's guest by visiting www.thermofisher.com/chemistry-podcast for links to recent publications, podcasts, books, videos and more.View the video of this episode on www.thermofisher.com/chemistry-podcast.A free thank you gift for our listeners!Request your free Bringing Chemistry to Life t-shirt on our episode website.Use code cHeMcas+ng in October and KemThrReDs in November.
