Podcasts about gen george

My very special guest for this episode is none other than my co-bitch Gen George! Yes, my co-founder for Like Minded Bitches Drinking Wine. In case you missed it, it's a women's business group that we started 10 years ago as a passion project that's now grown to over 180,000 members. The group is on Facebook and the Boa app if you want to join us, but also very excitingly we're kicking off in-person events again, with Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane to start.Okay now a bit more about Gen, because she is one hell of a serial entrepreneur. At the age of X, Gen started OneShift, which was an online talent marketplace that instantly connects local candidates to local businesses. Gen grew OneShift to over 40k employers and 700k potential candidates and achieved a valuation of $20m in their first year alone. 5 years ago, the business was successfully acquired. The process of growing OneShift allowed her to see a clear market gap which led to her launching Tamme - a marketing AI and analytics platform for two-sided marketplaces.In 2019, Gen established Genry Capital, which is focused on companies in manufacturing, research and development, logistics and the consumer brand space.In 2020, she established Australian Private Label, which develops and manufactures products for brands, musicians and influencers locally in Australia. APL has already grown to a 7 figure business and is growing at 35% year on year. And yes… There's more, in 2023 she launched Daily Shake, which is a premium supplements brand that is known for its fun unique flavours. Launched only a year ago, the brand is already rolling out into Coles and Mr Vitamins in Australia, and later this year launching with a Middle Eastern retailer that has 6000 points of sale. She's just incredible!! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week Mark and Jonny discuss episodes 247 and 248 of "King of the Hill", "Born Again on the Fourth of July" and "Serves Me Right for Giving Gen. George S. Patton the Bathroom Key".

Five years after World War II ended, Winston Churchill said he was still amazed that the United States, which before WWII had a tiny military and was fully committed to isolationism, “were able not only to build up the armies and air force units, but also to find the leaders and vast staffs capable of handling enormous masses and of moving them faster and farther than masses have ever been moved in war before.” He was speaking in general about the United States, but much of the credit arguably was with Chief of Staff Gen. George Marshall and Secretary of War Henry Stimpson.From 1940 until the end of the war, Marshall and Stimson headed the army machine that ground down the Axis. Theirs was one of the most consequential collaborations of the twentieth century. According to Dwight Eisenhower, the two possessed more greatness than any other men he had ever met.The general and the secretary traveled very different paths to power. Educated at Yale, where he was Skull and Bones, and at Harvard Law, Henry Stimson joined the Wall Street law firm of Elihu Root, future secretary of war and state himself, and married the descendant of a Founding Father. He went on to serve as secretary of war under Taft, governor-general of the Philippines, and secretary of state under Hoover. An internationalist Republican with a track record, Stimson ticked the boxes for FDR, who was in the middle of a reelection campaign at the time. Thirteen years younger, George Marshall graduated in the middle of his class from the Virginia Military Institute (not West Point), then began the standard, and very slow, climb up the army ranks. During World War I he performed brilliant staff work for General Pershing. After a string of postings, Marshall ended up in Washington in the 1930s and impressed FDR with his honesty, securing his appointment as chief of staff.Today's guest is Edward Aldrich, author of The Partnership: George Marshall, Henry Stimson, and the Extraordinary Collaboration that Won World War II. Marshall and Stimson were two very different men who combined with a dazzling synergy to lead the American military effort in World War II, in roles that blended politics, diplomacy, and bureaucracy in addition to warfighting. They transformed an outdated, poorly equipped army into a modern fighting force of millions of men capable of fighting around the globe. They, and Marshall in particular, identified the soldiers, from Patton and Eisenhower to Bradley and McNair, best suited for high command. They helped develop worldwide strategy and logistics for battles like D-Day and the Bulge. They collaborated with Allies like Winston Churchill. They worked well with their cagey commander-in-chief. They planned for the postwar world. They made decisions, from the atomic bombs to the division of Europe, that would echo for decades.

Archivist at Virginia Military Institute, Jeffrey Kozak talks about General George C. Marshall's legacy during and following WWII and experiencing the Marshall Institute.

Brooke and Timbo were so impressed with John Zmirak’s article on Stream.org, which presented an interview with Historian H. W. Crocker III, author of the new book, Armstrong Rides Again! that they decided to present it you you as a podcast.

Over his 36 years in the U.S. Marine Corps, Brigadier General George Bartlett went from enlisted man to officer, fought in three wars, and did other work vital to U.S. interests during the Cold War.In this edition of "Veterans Chronicles," Bartlett describes serving as a bombardier, gunner, and navigator in the Pacific theater of World War II. He also tells us about his service in Korea, two tours in Vietnam, his impressive feat of building an airstrip in Taiwan in just a matter of hours, and his work on the atomic program.

This week we open the pod bay doors with Jane Lu, founder & CEO of Showpo, an Australian online fashion retailer.Jane is a remarkable woman with a remarkable story. The only child of Chinese immigrants she moved to Australia when she was 8 years old. Like many immigrant families, her parents provided her with every encouragement and opportunity to be a success in her now native Australia. She aced her HSC's with a 99.5% ATAR and went on to what many would see as a dream career with KPMG and Ernst & Young. However this path was a little dull for intrepid entrepreneur Jane, so after returning from travel abroad, decided to sacrifice everything to venture into the fashion retail industry.Most entrepreneurs have their fair share of setbacks and challenges on their way to a successful outcome.Jane was no different with her Showpo story. The setbacks kept her motivated and she preserved to build a brilliant business that she owns 100% of, has never taken a dime of outside investment, that is well on track to $100 million in revenue by 2020! Incredible!As if she wasn't busy enough running Showpo, Jane started Like Minded Bitches Drinking Wine with Gen George, a business group bringing women together to share their challenges and celebrate the wins. They have over 78,000 members and have run events in over 25 cities. Jane is extremely passionate about promoting entrepreneurship and women in business.Jane really is a shining example of a great entrepreneur - an honest hustler with a big heart.

After finding herself in the south of France with 20 Euros to her name, Gen George came up with a simple idea that she transformed into OneShift. Gen shares her story, lessons learnt and talks about what the future holds.

Gen is a remarkable young woman. Smart, driven, humble. She has demonstrated a remarkable ability in her short career so far to (ahem) "get shit done". She cut her teeth in understanding double sided-markets with recruitment marketplace OneShift. This was sold earlier this year to Programmed. Gen and her co-founder/CTO Jess Glenn have now embarked on Tamme, a service for micro-targeting both sides of marketplaces, at a hyper-local level. She has also co-founded (with Jane Lu from Showpo) "Like Minded Bitches Drinking Wine" which now has 46,000+ female members around the world who enjoy wine and business. We discussed this and more. Jump in and enjoy...
