On today's podcast: 1) An Air India Ltd. Boeing Co. 787 aircraft traveling from Ahmedabad in India to London’s Gatwick airport crashed shortly after taking off, in what stands to be the most serious accident involving the US planemaker’s most advanced widebody airliner. The airline said that Flight AI171 was “involved in an incident” and that Air India is “ascertaining the details.” Footage shared on social media showed a giant plume of smoke engulfing the crash site, with no reports of fatalities or survivors. The flight was carrying 242 passengers and crew, according to news agency ANI. 2) Los Angeles spends another night under curfew as protests spread to more cities. Protests over immigration raids in Los Angeles have spread to other US cities, including New York, Chicago, and Milwaukee, with clashes between protesters and law enforcement. The federal government has expanded its show of force, deploying National Guard troops and authorizing the use of the Hobbs Act to take over criminal cases, which California officials have criticized as "unlawful, unconstitutional and undemocratic". 3) President Trump says he will set unilateral tariffs on countries in 2 weeks. The president plans to send letters to trading partners in the next one to two weeks setting unilateral tariff rates ahead of a July 9 deadline. President Trump has threatened to impose higher duties on dozens of economies, but has only reached a trade framework with the UK and a tariff truce with China, which was recently threatened.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Success Factors of Scale from Startup to 120 People, with Clive Hutchings, Ep #258

Why do most recruitment companies stall at 10 to 20 people, while others scale to 100+ across continents? In this episode, you'll hear directly from someone who's done it. STR Group is a family of specialist recruitment brands focused on STEM sectors. As co-founder, Clive Hutchings has spent over two decades growing the business to more than 120 staff across the UK, Europe, and the US—all while staying profitable, adaptable, and values-driven. In this interview, Clive breaks down what it really takes to build a multi-brand, international recruitment group, the leadership philosophy behind STR's culture, and the gritty truths behind scaling a business beyond yourself. Episode Outline and Highlights [3:05] The early days: how Clive started in recruitment and his story of practicing his pitch in front of a mirror in the office. [11:37] The operational and leadership shifts needed to grow from 10 to 100+ employees [19:19] Why many recruitment founders plateau—and how to avoid it [21:09] Discussion on the best approach to train a new recruiter. [27:33] The value of having a support network around you. [32:50] What is the formula for knowing when to make your next hire? [40:00] Impact of AI: “Sales people being more sustainable, resourcing people less so.” [41:45] Clive reveals their tech stack and how AI impacts their current operations. [45:00] The relevance of cold calling in the age of AI. [52:00] Big differences between hiring in the US and the UK. [1:02:10] Learnings on expanding globally. [1:07:00] Culture and mantra that work. Leadership That Scales One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is the importance of evolving your role as a founder. Clive credits much of STR's growth to the fact that he didn't try to do everything himself. Instead, he and his co-founder took on complementary leadership roles, allowing each to focus on their strengths while building out a business that could scale beyond them. If you're stuck juggling billing, management, and strategy, this is your sign to rethink your leadership structure. Building a scalable firm means building scalable leadership, and that starts with letting go of being the bottleneck. He also elaborated on the following: 1. Multifaceted Leadership Structure 2. Team Composition and Talent Strategy 3. High Energy and Personal Drive 4. Resilience Through Early-Stage Challenges 5. Realistic Growth Mindset Clive's success as a leader came from building a balanced team, maintaining high personal energy, fostering a resilient and realistic culture, and adapting roles and structures to match the stage of the business. Decision Factors When to Make Your Next Hire With Clive's success in scaling his team globally, I wanted to pick his brains on his thought process when deciding to make a new hire. As a recruitment business owner, this is a critical decision to make, as doing it too slowly can impede your business's growth, while doing it too rapidly can lead to longer-term problems that cost more to fix. Clive shared the following decision factors: Strategic Forecasting & Business Planning - Hiring plans are based on quarterly forecasts developed by each brand's leadership. Critical Mass & Team Size Considerations - A certain headcount is needed to reach operational momentum, but hiring must be sustainable. Smaller teams (e.g.,

C'est un nouveau cri d'alarme, que lance ce vendredi par l'OMM, l'Organisation Météorologique Mondiale. « Les glaciers du monde perdent trois piscines olympiques chaque seconde », titre le quotidien espagnol El Païs. L'OMM met en garde contre « une avalanche de conséquences en cascade ». « La préservation des glaciers n'est pas seulement une nécessité environnementale, économique et sociale. C'est une question de survie », alerte Celeste Saulo, le secrétaire général de l'Organisation Météorologique Mondiale. « L'une des conséquences les plus graves de cette réduction de la couverture de glace concerne l'approvisionnement futur en eau de certaines régions de la planète, notamment en Asie, puisque les glaciers agissent comme de gigantesques réservoirs d'eau ».Quant aux « effets en cascade », El Païs explique que « le recul de ces zones gelées peut conduire, par exemple, à la formation de lacs, qui peuvent à leur tour provoquer une instabilité des pentes et des crues soudaines ». Le Monde, de son côté, souligne que « plus de 2 milliards de personnes dépendent directement des stocks des montagnes pour leur approvisionnement en eau potable, leurs installations sanitaires, leur agriculture ou leur énergie ». Toutefois, tout n'est pas encore perdu, quelques signes d'espoir demeurent : « selon l'évolution des émissions de CO2, certains glaciers peuvent encore être préservés », assure El Païs.MirageÀ lire également ce matin, dans le Washington Post, un éditorial virulent contre la politique économique de Donald Trump. C'est Fareed Zakaria, journaliste à CNN, américain d'origine indienne, qui prend la parole dans les colonnes du quotidien américain. Et il clame que « le rêve industriel de Trump est un mirage ». « Le président américain est convaincu », dit-il, « que la clé de la transformation des États-Unis réside dans la relance des usines et des fonderies à travers le pays ». « L'idée que l'Amérique devrait produire davantage est séduisante » poursuit Fareed Zakaria. « Nous imaginons tous un pays riche et puissant doté d'immenses usines qui crachent de la fumée, produisent des produits et les vendent au monde entier. Cette idée est profondément ancrée dans nos esprits. Mais c'est une image du passé, et non de l'avenir ». Pourquoi ? « Parce que les économies les plus avancées du monde sont aujourd'hui presque toutes dominées par les services », explique le journaliste américain. Pour lui, « la tentative de relancer l'industrie manufacturière par le protectionnisme revient à défier les principes économiques fondamentaux ».Perturbations dans les airsEnfin, panique dans les airs après un incendie à l'aéroport d'Heathrow, à Londres. « L'aéroport est fermé : plus de 1 000 vols sont affectés après une panne de courant provoquée par un incendie », titre le Guardian. Le quotidien britannique précise que l'aéroport « sera fermé jusqu'à ce soir minuit ». De nombreux vols sont détournés vers Paris ou vers Shannon en Irlande. « La fermeture d'Heathrow se fait sentir dans le monde entier », selon le Guardian qui a interrogé Neil Hansford, un spécialiste du trafic aérien basé à Sydney. Selon lui, il ne faut pas trop compter sur les autres aéroports de Londres, comme Gatwick et Stansted. En effet, explique-t-il, « ils ne peuvent pas accueillir un volume comparable à celui des cinq terminaux d'Heathrow, où il y a une arrivée toutes les minutes ». « C'est catastrophique pour le trafic aérien », poursuit Neil Hansford, qui met en avant deux problèmes principaux : comment les passagers détournés parviendront-ils à Londres ? Comment résoudre le problème du carburant ? « Les compagnies ont l'habitude de se ravitailler à Heathrow », qui sera donc inaccessible, alors que les autres aéroports « ne pourront sans doute pas ravitailler tous les avions supplémentaires ». La journée s'annonce donc chaotique dans les airs et les aéroports de nombreux endroits du monde.

After last week's bond market jitters, the Chancellor pledged to go ‘further and faster' to improve the UK's anaemic economic growth. It looks as though Rachel Reeves' hunt for growth could come at the expense of Labour's green agenda. Reeves is poised to make a series of announcements over the next month, starting with a softened stance on non-doms and approval for Heathrow's third runway – as well as expansions at Gatwick and Luton airports. The move indicates a shift in priorities, with economic growth taking precedence over climate targets. Ed Miliband, the Energy Secretary, is believed to be privately opposed to the airport expansion scheme. What happened to the ‘green Chancellor'? And is a power struggle emerging between two of the most influential Cabinet members? Also on the podcast: after criticism of Labour's education plans, is it really all Bridget Phillipson's fault? Or is there blame to share around? Katy Balls speaks to James Heale and Michael Gove. Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

Special Edition: London, England Airports   In this episode, the FAQ is: What are some of the biggest changes for travel in 2025?   Today's Destination is: London Airports   Today's Misstep- Wearing the wrong shoes   Travel Advice: When buying an airline ticket, pause.   FAQ: What are some of the biggest changes for travel in 2025? Expect more opportunities for local immersion, where you can experience the daily life of local communities through homestays, service projects, and interactive cultural programs for seniors. Solo female travel is on the rise, with women comprising 71% of solo travelers. Many travel companies now offer solo-friendly options, such as cruises without single supplements and women-only trips to destinations like Saudi Arabia, where my parents almost moved in 1980, when it was very different for women. Decision Fatigue The solo traveler is solely responsible for all decisions, from choosing accommodations and dining spots to navigating routes. This can lead to decision fatigue and frustration and isolation in challenging situations. Lack of Immediate Support Solo travelers may not have immediate support in moments of illness or emergencies. Reliance on strangers for help can be daunting, and having communication devices like a satellite communicator is crucial1. Cultural and Language Barriers Solo female travelers may encounter cultural and language barriers, leading to uncomfortable situations. Respecting local traditions, dress codes, and learning basic phrases in the local language can help mitigate these challenges. Loneliness Solo travel can sometimes lead to feelings of loneliness. To combat this, travelers can seek social gatherings, connect with fellow travelers, or engage in group tours and activities. Today's Special Episode: London, England Airports London's major airports each have distinct features catering to different traveler needs. Here's a rundown on each and some important aspects for solo female travelers over 50: First, the Best Overall Recommendations for Solo Female Travelers Over 50 Best for On-Time Flights: London City Airport (LCY) Best for Service: Heathrow Airport (LHR) Best for Pricing: Stansted (STN) or Luton (LTN) Best Overall Experience: Heathrow (LHR) (for amenities and comfort) or Gatwick (LGW) (for balance between cost and comfort) 1. Heathrow Airport (LHR) Location: West London, about 15 miles from Central London. Identity: The largest and busiest airport in the UK, known for long-haul international flights and a wide array of shopping and dining options. Pros: Excellent amenities, extensive shopping and dining, good transportation links (Heathrow Express, London Underground). Considerations: Can be crowded; peak times may involve long lines. Solo travelers might find comfort in its high-security standards and numerous on-site assistance points. Ratings: On-Time: Generally good but can experience delays due to high traffic. Service: Known for high service standards and amenities, including comfortable lounges. Pricing: Usually more expensive than other London airports. Overall Experience: Best for travelers looking for comfort and amenities, even if it means a higher price. 2. Gatwick Airport (LGW) Location: South of London, about 30 miles from Central London. Identity: Known for offering both international and low-cost European flights. Pros: Competitive pricing on flights, good amenities, easy rail access to Central London. I was bussed from Heathrow here and back for my Africa travels. That was a chance to see London, from the window, thanks to British Air. Considerations: Less busy than Heathrow, and offers options like the Gatwick Express, a fast train to Central London. Ideal for budget-conscious travelers looking for convenience. Ratings: On-Time: Tends to have good punctuality compared to Heathrow. Service: Offers a range of services, though fewer luxury options than Heathrow. Pricing: Competitive, especially for European flights. Overall Experience: Suitable for those who value a balance of comfort and cost. 3. London City Airport (LCY) Location: East London, close to Canary Wharf and the city center. Identity: Compact and designed for business travelers, with quick access to London. Pros: Fast check-ins, less crowded, closest to Central London, and primarily caters to short-haul destinations. Considerations: Ideal for quick, efficient entry to London, though limited to short-haul flights. Its size can be comforting for solo travelers who want to avoid larger crowds. Ratings: On-Time: Known for high punctuality rates. Service: Tailored services for business and solo travelers, though limited amenities. Pricing: Higher, given its proximity and convenience. Overall Experience: Best for solo travelers who prioritize quick, stress-free entry and exit. I have not flown here yet. 4. Stansted Airport (STN) Location: North East of London, about 40 miles from Central London. Identity: A hub for budget airlines that is popular for European flights. Pros: Affordability, a variety of low-cost airlines, and straightforward access to London via train. I flew here from Milan for $20 as long as I had a personal item, not a carry-on. It was Ryan Air. I flew out a week later to Edinburgh, but that was a bit of a crazy crowded airport with people all over trying to wait until their flights. Yes, it was very crowded. Ratings: On-Time: Generally decent but can experience delays due to high traffic on budget flights. Service: Basic but sufficient; less luxurious than Heathrow or Gatwick. Pricing: Most competitive, particularly for European destinations. Overall Experience: Ideal for those seeking low-cost travel and are comfortable with basic amenities. 5. Luton Airport (LTN) Location: North of London, about 30 miles from Central London. Identity: Budget-friendly with numerous low-cost airlines. Pros: Good for low-cost European flights, straightforward access to London via trains. Considerations: It is generally busy, with fewer service amenities; it is best for budget-minded travelers who don't mind fewer frills. Ratings: On-Time: Average, with some delays during peak times. Service: Basic but functional. Pricing: Low-cost options make it appealing for budget travelers. Overall Experience: Suitable for budget-conscious solo travelers willing to trade amenities for savings.    Today's Misstep: Wearing the wrong shoes  Talk about the wrong step. I had the wrong shoes. First, I had sandals with heels, and it was really cold, so I should have worn something warmer with socks.  Then I got blisters because the sandals rubbed my foot. Don't wear stylish shoes just for looks when you should wear something more sensible and comfortable. Your feet are here for life, and anyone who judges your choice of footwear can pound sand. Let them. Today's Travel Advice- When buying an airline ticket, pause. Today's airline tickets are almost all self-serve. You may buy them infrequently, so you may not notice all of the changes that are happening when you buy a ticket. Before you click the button, be sure you check everything. Do you have the correct dates? Are you ok with the luggage choices? Did you spell your name correctly? Is there a better price directly with the airline? Is it refundable? Do you need insurance or not? Can you use your miles or credits instead of cash? It's becoming more challenging to purchase your ticket, so practice before you buy. You may save hundreds of dollars if you do.

Picture this: you're nestled cozily in your window seat on a jet airliner when suddenly, you notice weird white spray coming out the back of the wing. Is something wrong with the plane? Are you going to crash? No need to panic! At this moment, the pilots are performing a standard procedure called fuel dumping. Btw, it's by no means cheap. For example, a mid-sized Boeing 737-300 uses about two and a half tons of fuel per hour of travel. The price of jet fuel is more than $600 per ton, so that means that while flying such a plane, you spend approximately $1,500 per flight hour. So why do they do that?

In this episode, we talk to Karine Guenan, Vice President of ZEROe ecosystem at Airbus, who shares insights into Airbus's ambitious plans to bring hydrogen-powered commercial aircraft to market by 2035 and the unprecedented ecosystem development required to make this vision a reality.Guenan discusses:The technical challenges of developing hydrogen-powered aircraft, including the need for cryogenic storage at -253° C and specially designed insulated tanks, contrasting with traditional jet fuel storage in aircraft wings.Airbus's exploration of two potential technological platforms - fuel cell propulsion and direct hydrogen combustion - aimed at serving the 100-200 seat market with ranges of 1,000-2,000 nautical miles.The extensive ecosystem partnerships being built worldwide, including collaborations with airports (like Gatwick), energy suppliers (like Air Products), airlines (like easyJet), and lessors (like Avalon) to create the infrastructure needed for hydrogen-powered aviation.The advantages of hydrogen as a zero-emission fuel source when produced from renewable energy, including its potential to reduce both CO2 and non-CO2 emissions.The safety considerations around hydrogen aviation, emphasising that hydrogen is non-toxic and actually dissipates more quickly than conventional fuels in case of leakage.Throughout the conversation, Guenan emphasises that while the 2035 target for commercial entry into service is ambitious, it's achievable through unprecedented collaboration across the aviation industry and beyond. She notes that while hydrogen aircraft will have a marginal impact by 2050, they represent a crucial long-term solution for aviation's decarbonisation challenge.Looking to the future, Guenan advocates for a multi-pronged approach to aviation sustainability, combining immediate solutions like sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) with longer-term transformative technologies like hydrogen-powered aircraft.If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Jane Ashton, Director of Sustainability at easyJet.

EP121: Paige's Journey: Self-love, Lego and living well In this episode, I chat with Paige, a 30-year-old from Gatwick, about her inspiring weight loss journey. Over the past two and a half years, Paige has transformed her approach to health, focusing on long-term well-being rather than just appearance. We explore how she shifted her mindset, overcame struggles from her younger years, and found a balance between fitness and nutrition that works for her. Paige shares how she dealt with weight issues from childhood and how turning 30 motivated her to take control of her health. She opens up about the mental shift that led her to focus on feeling better, both physically and mentally, rather than simply losing weight for looks. A key turning point for her was being unable to participate in an activity due to weight restrictions, which spurred her commitment to change. Paige explains her workout routine, which includes weight training and Zumba, and how finding exercise she enjoys has been essential to her success. She also credits intermittent fasting (18-6) for helping her shed 63 pounds in four months. Paige talks about the importance of rewarding herself for each milestone with non-food treats, such as spa days and small gifts, to keep herself motivated. Paige's story highlights the power of a mindset shift and the importance of finding exercise and nutrition strategies that work long-term. Her success is driven by focusing on health and well-being, and celebrating progress with rewards that support her goals.
