Podcasts about global expansion

In this episode of Wrestling Soup, Anthony Thomas and Joe Numbers discuss their frustrations with this week's episode of RAW. The hosts feel RAW was lackluster and uninspired, with phoned-in segments and boring tropes. SmackDown had some fun moments, but overall the wrestling shows fall short. They touch on injury updates, including Liv Morgan's shoulder dislocation. The hosts also joke about the absurdity of certain storylines, such as Goldberg facing Gunther, and talk about WWE's aggressive expansion strategy and how it impacts various wrestling styles like Lucha Libre. Additionally, the episode features commentary on the problematic booking of women's storylines and the overuse of certain talent. Overall, their dialogue highlights a need for better writing and more engagement from wrestlers and audiences alike.00:00 Raw Recap: A Disastrous Week01:53 Seth and Cody: A Tired Rivalry02:52 Liv Morgan's Absurd Angle05:44 Corey Graves Steps Up07:50 Women's Division Woes20:51 Goldberg's Controversial Return32:28 AJ Styles vs. JD McDonough34:09 Bailey vs. Becky Lynch: A Heated Exchange35:32 Bailey's Decline and Bird Girl's Struggles39:05 Liv Morgan's Injury 43:08 WWE's Title Dynamics and Future Prospects55:20 WWE's Global Expansion and Lucha Libre01:11:58 Concluding Thoughts on WWE's Current StateBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wrestling-soup--1425249/support.

In this special preview of the CCA European Summit, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, interviews Jeff Korn, CEO and Chairman of Crexendo, a leading telecom platform provider and active member of the Cloud Communications Alliance (CCA). Set to speak on a key panel at the Brussels event, Korn outlines Crexendo's bold vision for open, best-of-breed ecosystems in telecom. “We recently surpassed 6 million users, making us the third largest platform in the U.S. serving third parties,” Korn reports. “That growth is driven by our open APIs, flexible deployment options, and a commitment to giving customers full control of their platforms.” Crexendo's NetSapiens platform enables providers to shape telecom solutions to fit their own business needs — not someone else's template. “We don't believe in one-size-fits-all,” says Korn. “With our open APIs and customizable interfaces, our licensees can create exactly what they need — or integrate tools from any vendor they choose.” One of the platform's most disruptive features is its pricing model: Crexendo charges by sessions, not seats. “Why should schools or hotels pay for phones that aren't in use? You only pay for the sessions you need,” says Korn. This usage-based pricing creates massive cost-efficiency for verticals with seasonality or compliance-based phone requirements. Looking beyond North America, Korn discussed Crexendo's expansion across EMEA, highlighting a strategic partnership with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) that allows the company to rapidly deploy localized services in countries with strict data sovereignty laws. “We can now spin up a compliant, country-specific instance in days,” notes Korn. “That's a game-changer for growth across Europe, Africa, and Asia.” As Crexendo continues its global ascent, Korn will join other industry leaders in Brussels, sharing how openness, flexibility, and customer-first design can power innovation across borders.

Kia ora,Welcome to Wednesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news the global economic expansion is losing pace, led by the US.But first up today, the overnight full dairy auction pulled back, and expected, but perhaps not be as much as the derivatives markets suggested. In the end prices were down -1.6% in USD terms and -3.0% in NZD terms on a rising Kiwi dollar. It was a mixed picture across the commodities offered.In the US, the weekly Redbook retail monitor pulled back last week to be 'only' +4.9% higher than the same week a year ago. That is a sharpish dip from the prior week's +6.1% and mid-April's +7.4%. Much of this may be attributable to tariff-tax increases, with sales volumes easing faster now.Meanwhile, April job openings were little-changed but they did come in slightly higher than expected at 7.4 mln. We get the May non-farm payrolls report this Saturday (NZT) and that is expected to show a modest +130,000 rise.Meanwhile April factory orders came in weak, down a sharp -3.7% following the boosted March gain of +3.4%. Between the two months, a slight easing that was setting in since November. From April 2024 these order levels are up +0.6% and that is before accounting for inflation.The US Logistics Managers Index rose, but because inventory costs, warehousing utilisation, and transportation prices all rose at a faster rate, probably not the indicators that help their economy.But the latest RCM/TIPP optimism survey did rise for 'positive' reasons, but only back to levels it was in November after retreating rather sharply from a February high. The tariff-tax staggers may be easing among investors and the surveyors say this indicates US "consumers are closer to optimism".In Canada, Canadians have so heavily altered their travel plans to the US that the duty-free stores at the border seem to be on their knees in what is being called a 'collapse'.In South Korea, the candidate of the more liberal Democratic Party seems to be the winner of Tuesday's snap presidential election. It is a clear break, with voters turning away from the conservative party, who's previous President triggered their constitutional crisis. It's a win for the rule of law. The other main candidate has conceded.In China, they have delivered something of a surprise. The May Caixin China factory PMI unexpectedly dropped to 48.3, down from April's expanding 50.4 and missing market forecasts of a faster expansion (50.6). This was the first contraction in the sector in eight months and the steepest since September 2022. Output shrank alongside a renewed drop in new orders, with foreign sales declining at a faster pace. The official factory PMI came in at 49.5, a small improvement (lesser decline).Eurozone consumer price inflation eased to 1.9% in May, down from 2.2% in April and below market expectations of 2.0%. With inflation under control, that gives the ECB some room to trim interest rates further at their Friday (NZT) review.Globally, the OECD has lowered its economic expansion forecasts as the Trump tariff-taxes bite, and the US an economy they see suffering as much as others from the impact.That is spurring free trade talks among other nations, especially between Australia and the EU.In Australia, their Fair Work Commission's Expert Panel announced the National Minimum Wage and award wages will increase by +3.5% from 1 July 2025, following the 2024-25 Annual Wage Review. That means their National Minimum Wage will increase by +AU$0.85 to AU$24.95 per hour. (NZ$26.90/hr) The New Zealand adult minimum wage is currently $23.50/hr.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.46%, and unchanged from yesterday.The price of gold will start today at US$3,353/oz, and down -US$22 from yesterday.Oil prices are up +50 USc in the US at just over US$63.50/bbl and the international Brent price is up +US$1 at US$66/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is now at 60.1 USc, a -10 bps dip from yesterday at this time. Against the Aussie we are down -10 bps at just on 92.8 AUc. Against the euro we are unchanged at 52.7 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 68.1 and down -10 bps from yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$105,965 and up +1.6% from yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just on +/-1.2%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.

On this week's episode, host Jess Gaedeke is joined by Jo Lepore, Dig Insights new EVP of Global Market Expansion & Foresight, to explore how foresight fuels smarter strategy, why market expansion is more than just “lift and shift,” and how the insights function must evolve to stay human and stay relevant.

Africa's gaming market is young, fast-growing, and mobile-first. In this episode, host Alexandra Takei, Director at Ruckus Games, is joined by Cordel Robbin-Coker, CEO of Carry1st, and Temi Afolabi, a lead on XBOX's Global Expansion team, to examine the opportunity and hurdles of scaling games in Africa. They break down Africa's demographics, monetization challenges, and infrastructure gaps. Cordel highlights Carry1st's approach — aggregating payments across nearly 80+ payment methods and pairing African talent with global veterans. Temi emphasizes Africa's creative potential in narrative design, a rising indie class, and shares why XBOX sees the African consumer as attractive. The group compares Africa's market trajectory to China's, though key differences include Africa's fragmentation across language, infrastructure, and regulation. On the development side, they explore co-dev, creator-first pathways, and the long-term role governments may play in accelerating industry growth to build a billion-person market and capitalize on untapped potential and a growing talent base.

Legal and Strategic Insights on Chinese Investment in the U.S. with Chris PereiraWelcome to another insightful episode of the Asia Business Podcast, this week we have Chris Pereira, CEO of iMpact, a strategic advisory firm dedicated to assisting Chinese companies in global expansion. In this episode, Art and Chris engage in a candid discussion about the intricate challenges and opportunities Chinese companies face when entering the US market.The Current Landscape of US-China RelationsWith ongoing tensions between the US and China, businesses are navigating a complicated environment filled with tariffs, political tweets, and fluctuating regulations. The conversation opens with Chris highlighting that while tariffs remain a prominent topic, Chinese companies are more concerned with the stability of US regulations and policies, especially under an unpredictable political climate.Legal Concerns for Chinese BusinessesChris shares how his clients often question the potential risks associated with significant investments in the US. Art weighs in on the legal perspective, clarifying that while tweets may generate headlines, they have no legal standing. He reassures that even amidst political rhetoric, the US legal system maintains checks and balances that protect businesses from arbitrary decisions.Importance of Localizing Business EffortsThe discussion turns to the critical need for Chinese companies to localize efforts when establishing a presence in the US. Art and Chris emphasize the grassroots approach required to build local community relationships, often overlooked by companies accustomed to China's top-down decision-making processes. Understanding local governance and community impact is essential for success.The Political and Economic Impacts of TariffsTariffs, while significant, have not deterred Chinese companies from pursuing opportunities in the US market. Chris explains that many businesses manage to adapt their strategies, focusing on enhancing brand positioning as opposed to competing solely on price. Art adds that while tariffs can create uncertainties, they also encourage innovation and resilience among Chinese firms.The COVID-19 Aftermath and Geopolitical ConcernsChris expresses surprise at the continued discussions around COVID-19 within Chinese media, particularly in the context of legal actions against China. Art offers a legal interpretation, suggesting that lawsuits targeting governmental entities rather than private companies carry more symbolic meaning than enforceable outcomes.Future Outlook on US-China Business DynamicsDespite current challenges, both Art and Chris acknowledge an underlying optimism among Chinese businesses. The focus on strategic localization, investment in automation, and diversification into alternate markets like Southeast Asia and Europe signify adaptability and resilience. Art predicts a continued shift towards manufacturing localization in the US, driven by automation and stable regulatory environments.Final Insights and Moving ForwardAs the episode concludes, Art and Chris reflect on the shifting landscape of global business and the importance of adaptability and strategic foresight. The complexities of US-China relations underscore the need for businesses to remain informed and agile, leveraging diplomacy and legal expertise to navigate these uncertain waters.Timestamps00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome00:36 Challenges and Opportunities for Chinese Companies in the US02:01 Legal Concerns and Tariffs06:34 Localizing Business Operations09:19 COVID-19 Lawsuits and Geopolitical Issues16:02 Tariff Situation and Future Outlook18:31 Brand Focus Over Price Competition19:06 Impact of Tariffs on Consumers and Suppliers20:44 China's Resilience and Market Shifts23:06 US Manufacturing and Investment Trends28:24 Automation and Complex Supply Chains31:17 Biotech and Pharma Industry Dynamics34:50 Concluding Thoughts and Future Outlook ProducerJacob ThomasFollow UsLinkedInApple Podcasts

Manufacturing is going global, but "Made in USA" still matters. Dr. Bill Cardoso reveals how Creative Electron's groundbreaking joint venture with Unicomp is redefining X-ray inspection technology while maintaining their American manufacturing roots.In this interview with Eric Miscoll on the show floor of IPC APEX 2025, Bill shares how the partnership creates a 1,200-employee global enterprise with facilities spanning Hungary, India, Malaysia, and China. This strategic expansion arrives just as international trade faces growing challenges from protectionist policies and tariff barriers, positioning Creative Electron to serve customers worldwide while strengthening their San Marcos, California manufacturing operations.The joint venture combines complementary technological strengths. Unicomp brings hardware expertise optimized for Asia's high-volume, low-mix production environments, while Creative Electron contributes user-friendly software tailored for Western manufacturing's high-mix, low-volume challenges. All systems—including those based on Unicomp technology—will be American-made for the American market, maintaining the quality and warranty that distinguishes Creative Electron in the marketplace.Behind this expansion lies a closely aligned customer-obsessed philosophy driving everything from R&D to organizational structure. Dedicated business units now focus on specific product lines, ensuring specialized attention to customer needs. For Cardoso, this represents just the beginning of an ambitious journey to grow Creative Electron into a multi-billion dollar enterprise bridging technological silos to deliver inspection solutions that work across global manufacturing environments.EMS@C-Level Live at APEX is sponsored by global inspection leaders Koh Young (https://www.kohyoung.com) and Creative Electron (https://creativeelectron.com)EMS@C-Level is sponsored by global inspection leaders Koh Young (https://www.kohyoung.com) and Creative Electron (https://creativeelectron.com) You can see video versions of all of the EMS@C-Level pods on our YouTube playlist.

Sindre Talleraas Holen, Head of M&A at Visma In Part 2 of this global M&A masterclass, Sindre Holen pulls back the curtain on Visma's deal execution strategy, valuation methodology, and post-close philosophy. Visma has quietly become one of the most disciplined and prolific acquirers in Europe and LATAM. How? Through extreme clarity on what they buy, why they buy it, and how they operate post-close. Sindre and Kison dig into the nuance of buying software companies in different geographies, how Visma thinks about valuation (hint: rule of 40—and sometimes 50—matters), and why the company chooses to “onboard” rather than “integrate.” This episode is a candid, behind-the-scenes look at how to structure deals, manage cultural differences, and stay true to a scalable M&A playbook.

Musculoskeletal embolization is generating significant excitement in the field of chronic pain management. In this episode, Dr. Jacob Fleming hosts a discussion with Dr. Yuji Okuno from Japan, a pioneer in both basic science and clinical practice within the field of musculoskeletal embolization. --- This podcast is supported by: Medtronic MVP https://www.medtronic.com/mvp --- SYNPOSIS The conversation delves into Dr. Okuno's groundbreaking work using embolization to treat chronic pain from conditions such as frozen shoulder, knee osteoarthritis, plantar fasciitis, and various sports injuries. Dr. Okuno discusses the development of new temporary embolic agents and compares different approaches to embolization treatments, including the innovative use of antibiotics as embolic material. The doctors also cover the intriguing concept of differential recanalization, where abnormal inflammatory vessels are less likely to recanalize than normal vessels after embolic treatment. Identifying hypervascularity through MRI, ultrasound, or angiogram is a crucial step before attempting embolization.

Today, we are replaying one of our favorites, breaking down the industrial conglomerate AMETEK. AMETEK is a great pairing with last week's episode on Jack Henry. These are two businesses with very long track records executing a playbook. AMETEK is one of eight companies that Mark Leonard and his team at Constellation Software studied as they built their own empire. And it's one well worthy of a discussion as you'll hear.  To break down AMETEK, I'm joined by Nael Fakhry, Co-CIO of the Osterweis Capital Management Growth and Income Strategy. Nael has spent a significant amount of time around AMETEK from the early 2000s until today. Please enjoy this breakdown on AMETEK.
