Rediffusion d'un des épisodes les plus écoutés du Podcast du MarketingQuel est le bon moment pour se lancer ? En fait, y a-t-il un bon moment pour se lancer ? Vous êtes nombreuses à tenter l'aventure de l'entrepreneuriat en parallèle d'un emploi salarié. Et je sais que vous êtes également nombreuses à vous demander s'il est vraiment tenable de se lancer en parallèle d'un emploi salarié. Si vous me connaissez un peu, je suis sûre que vous connaissez déjà ma réponse. Sauf que ce serait trop facile pour moi de vous dire que tout est possible, et que oui bien sûr en vous organisant vous pouvez tout à fait créer une activité en parallèle de votre emploi. Alors, j'ai demandé à quelqu'un de très spécial de venir partager son expérience avec nous. Il s'agit d'une femme qui a une activité très prenante (vous allez voir que je pèse mes mots, c'est le moins qu'on puisse dire) ; elle donc une activité très prenante, et pourtant elle a trouvé le temps et l'énergie de lancer sa propre marque, seule depuis son appartement en Hongrie. Il se trouve que j'ai le grand honneur de bien connaître cette personne puisqu'elle a suivi mon programme de formation Stratégie Indépendante. Cette personne vous l'avez probablement vue à la télé cet été. Il s'agit d'Estelle Nze Minko, championne d'Europe, championne du monde et nouvellement championne Olympique de handball féminin. Malgré son emploi du temps très serré, Estelle a accepté de discuter à mon micro du lancement de son entreprise The V Box, de ce qui l'anime, de son organisation, et du bonheur que lui procure cette activité.

IMAGINE FRIENDSGIVING AS A MAGAZINE—The pandemic hit New York first and harder and longer than most places. And as a New Yorker, Joshua Glass was appalled by the eerily quiet and empty city that resulted. He wanted to connect with people, any people, but he wanted quality gatherings, as opposed to quantity. When restrictions on gatherings began to ease up, he started curating a series of dinner parties around town. And these get-togethers led to the creation of Family Style, a media brand that brought all his interests under a single, and perhaps singular, cultural umbrella. The result is, finally, what the people at those highly-curated, and probably well-dressed, dinner parties talked about—and the magazine is the core of a growing brand that encompasses production, events, digital, and social. Family Style is a magazine at the intersection of food and culture—an interesting magazine about interesting people interested in interesting things, all united by a kind of global glossy aesthetic. So is Family Style a fashion magazine, a culture magazine, a food magazine, or an arts journal? The answer is “yes.”—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press.

The reckoning is here. Once a safe harbor, Big Tech has finally also gone full out on layoffs. Is this a structural shift to employment in Tech? Will the subsequent talent spillover be great for start-ups and entrepreneurship? Will it positively affect other industries?In this episode of Tech Deciphered, we will answer these and other questions in a deep discussion on the Global Tech Labor reset.Navigation:Intro (01:34)Layoffs & RestructuringShifts in Compensation & PerksRise of Fractional, Freelance, and Solopreneur WorkTalent Spillover to Other SectorsGeography & Culture ShiftsConclusionOur co-hosts:Bertrand Schmitt, Entrepreneur in Residence at Red River West, co-founder of App Annie / Data.ai, business angel, advisor to startups and VC funds, @bschmittNuno Goncalves Pedro, Investor, Managing Partner, Founder at Chamaeleon, @ngpedroOur show: Tech DECIPHERED brings you the Entrepreneur and Investor views on Big Tech, VC and Start-up news, opinion pieces and research. We decipher their meaning, and add inside knowledge and context. Being nerds, we also discuss the latest gadgets and pop culture news Subscribe To Our Podcast Nuno Goncalves PedroWelcome to Episode 66 of Tech DECIPHERED. Today, we'll talk about the global labour tech reset. Tech and big tech, which seemed immune to any lay-offs, seems now to be under fire. Massive lay-offs over the last 2.5 years, a lot of discussion around the importance of having a computer science, computer engineering background, and so what seemed to be a safe haven for any graduate is now under stress. Today, we will discuss the structural perspective on what's happening in the market, if this is a long-term trend or not, what has led us to this, and what is next. We'll talk about the rise of fractional freelance and solopreneur work, as well as talk about talent spillovers, and some of the usual geographical dynamics around the space. Bertrand, a huge shift in tech. Bertrand SchmittYes, definitely. It's pretty big. I think it started probably around 2022, once we got some changing interest rates that have a pretty massive impact in stock prices for a lot of companies. At that time, a lot of companies decided, and usually under some pressure, that it was time to be more efficient, to generate more cash. Yes, you want to grow, but not grow at all cost. You have to go efficiently. That's when we started to see some share price going down and step by step, quarter after quarter. Some change in attitude with a lot of big tech and that has created some impact in term of lay-off from different parts of the business, from the sales team to the DNA, to even engineering R&D. What is also been happening since 2022, 2023 is a change of focus. A lot of focus is being put in AI. A lot of investment in CapEx is going to AI. At some point, if you want to keep doing all this investing, investments, you might have to get some other part of the business in order to create additional savings to do all the spend you can in AI. There has been more recently a switch. It's not about just efficiency to push all the… But generating the ability to invest in AI. Nuno Goncalves PedroIt's part of a broader movement. Before we step back a little bit and go back in history, even recently, we've heard that there's talks between Meta and a bunch of private equity firms like KKR, Brookfield, Apollo, and others, to actually help in financing data centers. Meta is a gigantic company, so one would assume they have cash to do all these things. Maybe they don't. To your point, that level of efficiency that is now needed in the market where you need to throw actual money, CapEx, into the building of infrastructure, the building of the core underpins of what you're doing is pretty vital. But let's go back a little bit of a second, and we've talked about it maybe in our early episodes. Companies like Meta, Facebook back in the day, Google, Alphabet now,
