Ein Nutzer mit dem Pseudonym “Edwin Raithoffer” verbreitete auf Elon Musks Plattform “X” jahrelang Hass. Auch Österreichs bekanntester Journalist, der ZiB-Anchorman Armin Wolf, wurde von dem Account beleidigt. Er meldete den Vorfall und es geschah: nichts.Warum sich Wolf nun mit Hilfe der Medienanwältin Maria Windhager gegen die Untätigkeit des Tech-Konzerns wehrt und warum die Suche nach dem Menschen hinter dem Account ihn bereits um den halben Globus geführt hat, erklärt er im Gespräch mit Florian Klenk.Eine Textfassung dieses Gesprächs finden Sie hier.

Reisen ist längst mehr als Freizeitbeschäftigung – es ist ein Gradmesser unserer Zeit. Zwischen Klimakrise, Konsum und globaler Ungleichheit steht die Frage im Raum, wie viel Bewegung die Welt noch verträgt. In Steffisburg suchte der Reiseunternehmer André Lüthi gemeinsam mit Moderatorin Heidi Bühler-Naef nach Antworten: Was bedeutet verantwortungsvolles Reisen heute – und warum fällt es so schwer?

Herzlich willkommen zu Ihrem morgendlichen Newsletter! Was hinter den Türen des Kremls verhandelt wird, kann nur spekuliert werden. Fakt ist, dass der russische Außenminister noch immer offiziell im Amt ist. Auf der anderen Seite des Globus indessen ist es Zeit, Bilanz zu ziehen: Trump ist bereits ein Jahr im Amt als Präsident. Und bei uns? Wir können das Erscheinen einer meinungsstarken Essaysammlung feiern, deren Autor Markus Langemann konstatiert: Konservativ zu sein sei „ein Realismus, der weiß, dass man tiefe Wurzeln braucht, um hoch in den Himmel wachsen zu können.“

In dieser Episode widmen wir uns der fesselnden Rezension des Buches „Juno und die Reise zu den Wundern“ von Judith Hoersch. Die Geschichte entfaltet sich um das außergewöhnliche Mädchen Juno, das in ihrer Traumschwelgerei gefangen ist und sich wünscht, ein Teil der fantastischen Welt einer Nixe zu sein. Diese Erzählung, die sowohl für Kinder als auch für Erwachsene bereichernd ist, behandelt die Themen Einsamkeit, Selbstakzeptanz und die Bedeutung von Mut auf eine bezaubernde und fantasievolle Weise. Juno, eine schüchterne junge Frau, verlässt ihre Heimat, um in der pulsierenden Stadt ein neues Leben zu beginnen. Dort trifft sie den eigenwilligen Goldschmied Mr. James, der nicht nur zu ihrem Mentor, sondern auch zu einem vertrauten Freund wird. Seine weisen Ratschläge motivieren Juno, ihre Träume aktiv zu verfolgen, anstatt sie nur zu träumen. Diese Wendung setzt den Anstoß für ihre magische Reise rund um den Globus, auf der sie immer wieder kleinen und großen Wundern begegnet, die ihr helfen, zu sich selbst zu finden. Einer der fesselndsten Aspekte des Buches sind die fantasievollen Länder, die Juno besucht. Jedes Land ist einzigartig und trägt einen metaphorischen Namen, wie das „Land der qualmenden Köpfe“ oder „das Land der wilden Ponys“, was den Leser dazu anregt, sich in diese zauberhaften Welten hineinzuversetzen. Die kreativen und lehrreichen Lektionen, die Juno auf ihren Abenteuern lernt, sind sowohl unterhaltsam als auch berührend und laden dazu ein, über die Bedeutung von Freundschaft und Herausforderungen im Leben nachzudenken. Ich teile meine persönliche Verbindung zu Judith Hoersch, nicht nur als Schauspielerin, sondern auch als Musikerin, und was mich an ihrer schriftstellerischen Arbeit fasziniert. Das Buch besticht zudem durch seine außergewöhnliche Gestaltung – vom hochwertigen Cover bis hin zur edlen Bindung und dem Papier. Diese ästhetischen Qualitäten spiegeln das gehobene Lesevergnügen wider, das Leser heute erwarten. In dieser Episode erforschen wir die tiefere Botschaft von „Juno und die Reise zu den Wundern“ und ergründen, wie die bildreiche Sprache von Hoersch uns dazu inspirieren kann, die kleinen Wunder des Alltags bewusster wahrzunehmen. Die Illustrationen von Maria Martin ergänzen die Erzählung auf wunderbare Weise und verleihen dem Buch einen zusätzlichen emotionalen Tiefgang. Ich danke Judith Hoersch für die unvergessliche Reise, die sie mit ihren Worten ermöglicht hat und lade alle ein, in dieser fantasievollen Welt zu träumen.

Im Hafenkonzert-Podcast geht es dieses Mal um Schiffe, die Geschichte geschrieben haben – von den ersten Weltumseglern über sagenhafte Geisterschiffe bis hin zu Forschungsschiffen unserer Zeit. Wir erzählen von der "Victoria", dem ersten Schiff, das die Erde umrundete, von der "TS Hamburg", die einst als „schönste Hamburgerin“ die Weltmeere bereiste, und von der Polarstern, die als schwimmendes Labor den Klimawandel erforscht. Dazu kommen Mythen wie der „Fliegende Holländer“, der in Opern und Filmen weiterlebt, und die Geschichte der Hamburger "Wapen von Hamburg" – eines von jenen Schiffen, die einst Piraten abschreckten. ⸻ Die Themen im Einzelnen: ⛵ Die „Victoria“ – Das erste Schiff, das um die Welt segelte Wie Ferdinand Magellans Flotte vor über 500 Jahren in See stach – und nur die „Victoria“ zurückkehrte.

Krebs zählt zu den schlimmsten Krankheiten auf unserem Planeten. Nach wie vor. Trotz des Forschungsfortschritts. Trotz neuer Therapien. Trotz der unzähligen Milliarden, die jährlich in seine Bekämpfung fließen. Cyriac Roeding hat eine Idee, wie das künftig besser, zielgenauer und günstiger geht. Mit seinem Unternehmen Earli möchte er vereinfacht gesagt ermöglichen, dass jede Krebszelle sich dem Immunsystem von selbst als solche zu erkennen gibt. Und dieses dann aktiv wird und sie vernichtet. Bislang ist genau das ein großes Problem. Krebszellen entstehen und vermehren sich, ohne dass sie erkannt werden von der körpereigenen Krankheitsabwehr. Darum sind häufig gefährliche Operationen, Bestrahlung, Chemikalien nötig, um etwas dagegen auszurichten – mit der Folge, dass bestenfalls nicht "nur" der Krebs zerstört wird, sondern teilweise auch die umliegende Körperregion. Roeding erklärt in dieser Folge, was hinter seinem Ansatz steckt, wie weit das in Kalifornien beheimatete junge Unternehmen ist, wie die Versuche mit Mäusen laufen. Und wann der erste Test am Menschen bevorsteht. Er erzählt aber noch mehr. Roeding ist in der Nähe von Frankfurt aufgewachsen, hat in Karlsruhe studiert, dann rund um den Globus gearbeitet. Und sich letztlich entschieden, ins Silicon Valley auszuwandern und dort Unternehmer zu werden. Das ist inzwischen viele Jahre und mehrere Gründungen her. Was braucht es, um dort erfolgreich zu sein? Wie ticken die Tech-Gründer und ihre Wagniskapitalgeber? Und was kann Deutschland tun, um in diesem Bereich besser zu werden. Roeding findet: Deutschland hat eine große Chance, zu den drei erfolgreichsten Volkswirtschaften der Welt zu zählen.

Von China-Schock über die juristische Prüfung der US-Zölle, bis hin zur Dauerstagnation der deutschen Wirtschaft. Unsere Volkswirte unternehmen in dieser Woche eine wirtschaftliche Reise rund um den Globus. Und fühlen sich, als hätten sie das alles schon mal erzählt. Ist wahrscheinlich auch so. Unser Chefvolkswirt Carsten Brzeski wird im Gespräch mit Franziska Biehl dennoch nicht müde zu betonen, dass eine Erholung noch kein Aufschwung ist, dass die deutsche Wirtschaft, um aus der ewigen Hängepartie auszubrechen vor allem Reformen und strukturellen Wandel braucht, und erklärt, warum unrechtmäßig verhängte Zölle noch lange nicht das Ende des Handelschaos wären.

In dieser Folge nehme ich dich mit auf eine persönliche Zeitreise – zurück zu den Jahren, in denen alles begann.Ich erzähle, wie ich damals nach Dubai gekommen bin, warum ich mich von Wien aus für diesen Schritt entschieden habe und wie ich meine ersten Immobilien-Deals in den Goldgräberzeiten Dubais abgeschlossen habe.Damals war Dubai noch ein Geheimtipp – Wohnungen um 100.000 Euro, Investoren, die blind gekauft haben, und ein Markt voller Dynamik, Energie und Chancen. Ich war mittendrin – und habe erlebt, wie aus einer Wüstenstadt eine der bedeutendsten Metropolen der Welt wurde.Außerdem spreche ich im Podcast über internationale Immobilienmärkte, in denen auch heute noch zweistellige Renditen möglich sind – etwa auf Bali, in Thailand oder auf Zypern – und warum mich genau diese Märkte an die Anfangszeit in Dubai erinnern.Und ich erzähle eine verrückte Episode aus Wien aus dem Jahr 2020 – als ich mir in Wien ein Büro gekauft und noch vor der Vertragsunterzeichnung meinen Freund dort einquartiert habe.➡️ Jetzt reinhören, abonnieren und eintauchen in die Geschichte hinter meinem Weg – von den Anfängen in Wien bis zu den Goldgräberjahren in Dubai und den neuen Chancen rund um den Globus.

[00:00:09] Diane Bouis: The inventions and technologies are fascinating and so are the people who work with them. [00:00:15] Frank Jaskulke: There was a period of time where I realized, fundamentally, my job was to go hang out with really smart people that are saving lives and then do work that would help them save more lives. [00:00:28] Diane Bouis: I got into the business to save lives and it is incredibly motivating to work with people who are in that same business, saving or improving lives. [00:00:38] Duane Mancini: What better industry than where I get to wake up every day and just save people's lives. [00:00:42] Lindsey Dinneen: These are extraordinary people doing extraordinary work, and this is The Leading Difference. Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Leading Difference podcast. I'm your host, Lindsey, and today I am super excited to introduce you to my guest, Sarah Ptach. Sarah is the President and CEO of Canyon Labs, a leading provider of medical device and pharmaceutical testing, consulting, and sterilization services. She joined the company during a critical ownership transition with a clear goal in mind: to raise the standard of service in the industry and build a true end-to-end solutions partner. Drawing on her background in packaging engineering and testing, Sarah focused on expanding beyond packaging alone to create a more integrated, accessible, and expert driven experience for clients. Sarah began her career in professional sports and advertising, but a desire to create more meaningful impact led her to the healthcare space after her father was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. She went on to help grow and successfully exit a packaging firm before bringing her vision and leadership to Canyon Labs. In addition to her role at Canyon, she co-leads Kilmer Innovations and serves on the board of the Medical Device Packaging Technical Committee of the Institute of Packaging Professionals. She remains deeply committed to advancing healthcare through innovation, expertise, and strong partnerships. All right. Well, thank you so much for being here, Sarah. I'm so excited to welcome you to the show. [00:02:05] Sarah Ptach: Likewise. Thank you, Lindsey. I appreciate you having me. [00:02:08] Lindsey Dinneen: Of course. Well, I'd love if you would start off by telling us just a little bit about yourself, your background, and what led you to MedTech. [00:02:16] Sarah Ptach: Yeah. Thank you. So I'm Sarah Ptach. I'm the president of Canyon Labs. I have kind of an interesting story of getting into to medtech. I originally started my career actually in professional baseball. I was a contract negotiation person mainly for closing pitchers. And I ran track in college. I thought like, "oh, I wanna be in sports." And I like to say that's the most fun I never wanna have again. It was, it was a great start of a career. It teaches you a lot about negotiation, teaches you a lot about high stakes opportunities. But, you know, in the end it, it felt very kind of un unfulfilling in that perspective. And so I had kind of then taken that into to marketing for a pretty big ad agency in Chicago and hit the same thing. I felt like I was-- you know, now I was just selling people stuff that they didn't need instead of promoting people that, you know, that make a ton of money in the sports industry. And at the time my dad was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and I wanted to feel like I was making a difference. So I, I went back and got my MBA and my whole goal of that was really to, to use my skills to, to do something that makes a difference in people's lives. So, I had reached out to a really small medical device company and it's " I'm willing to make no money as long as we, we have a difference in a change we can make in the world." And at the time that company couldn't hire me but I ended up getting introduced to another company through that that was in medical device packaging validation. And that was the first dip of medical device that I had. And that company's Packaging Compliance Labs. I was one of the first employees there and we grew that company until it sold a couple years ago. And through that, learned a ton about the medical device space. I kind of made it my personal mission beyond just my job to, to go try to participate in the industry as much as possible, push the status quo of things as much as possible, and really kind of learn where the testing realm or validation realm can make a difference in, in medical devices. And so after that, I was given the opportunity to step in and run and grow Canyon Labs. And Canyon is a whole platform. So for me, it was taking the packaging knowledge that, that I love so much and making that a full service offering. You know, I had always dabbled in sterilization or heard about Biocom, but never really gotten my hands on it. And to be able to be that full service solution with Canyon has not only been a awesome offering to, to give to our clients to really be able to go A to Z, everything from your regulatory to your microbiology, chemistry, packaging, bio comp, and toxicology. But also a good learning challenge for me. I thought that I was, you know, a pretty good packaging engineer and now learning chemistry and microbiology and toxicology, I'm like, "oh, wow. I'm definitely not as smart as I maybe thought I was originally," and I luckily have some amazingly intelligent individuals that, that work on our team, but it's, it's an awesome opportunity to, to not only get to help bring some life-changing medical solutions to market but also have a really good technical brain challenge every single day. [00:05:26] Lindsey Dinneen: Wow. Oh my goodness. I love that. And yes, I mean, sometimes I feel like actually, you know, not being the smartest person in the room is such a gift because then you get to talk to all these really cool people with really amazing experiences and learn. And I'm just one of those people who's constantly-- well, I'm curious all the time, so if I don't understand something, I'm like, "can you tell me more?" [00:05:48] Sarah Ptach: Yeah. No I love that. I completely agree. I think that the better that you can be at facilitating conversations, the, you know, the more successful your organization will be. And it, I really think as the leader of a company it's less about being the, you know, smartest person in the room and more about being the facilitator of that collaboration. [00:06:10] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. I love that. So, okay, so going back in time a little bit-- so, so I know you started off with professional sports, which is really cool. Like what a, what an interesting, unique opportunity and experience and you know, you'll maybe never want that particular brand of fun again, but. I still love that you got to do it. And so I'm curious though, was that always the sort of planning goal for you? Or when you were trying to think about career paths and all of that, younger, what were you envisioning? [00:06:39] Sarah Ptach: Yeah. I think I, I always envisioned myself as a leader. The packaging side of things became my kind of technical passion. But I mean, from a young age, I've always been the captain of the track team or the, you know, the head of any school organization I was a part of. So I always knew I, I wanted to be a leader. I think now, you know, being in that role, you, you learn so much about what different styles and brands of leadership is. I think, you know, to go back to your question about being the smartest in the room, I actually think that, you know, the CEO's job isn't to have all the answers. It's to create the culture where the answers emerge. And, you know, I've always wanted to be a leader. I've been passionate on that side, but I really think that the more, you know, more so than just having leadership pieces to you. It's about having that power to bring people together in that way. [00:07:31] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. That's a beautiful way to put it. And I actually would love to dive into this more because I know creating a really positive, good company culture is really important to you, and it's frankly, easy to get wrong, unintentionally-- sometimes maybe it just is what it is, but like sometimes it's not a desire to create it, but it happens. So I'm curious, how have you really intentionally cultivated your current company culture, and where did those lessons come from? [00:08:00] Sarah Ptach: Yeah. Deep question. You could answer that in a bunch of different ways and I could talk your ear off about lessons learned on that side. But I, I think the, you know, the most overlooked competitive advantage, both internally and externally is trust. Like the trust in your team to make decisions, the trust in your clients and even the FDA and your labs work. There's trust across it all. I think internally, from culture standpoint, it's have that trust in people and build, you know, people in a way that, that helps them feel most confident to, to make the decisions that they need to succeed. You know, when we first started talking you, you asked if I have any kind of lesson learned stories and some, I dunno, harsh realities per se. I think one of the more difficult kind of lessons that, that I learned in the course of just being a leader, is knowing when you have a passion for someone and what passions they might have. And I stayed that in the standpoint that I'm a huge believer in people. I want them to be like the greatest version of themselves, and I want them to dream big and go big and, you know, sometimes that's not always what people want for themselves too. And it's, it's a tough reality somewhat to to come to at times. But, you know, really finding what is the growth that people truly want. What is the environment that they want to live in, and how do you help foster something that, that meets the plethora of those ideals that you'll have across an organization is really important. But I think the, the culture I've worked really hard to foster at Canyon and frankly, my, my team fosters alongside me every day. This is by no means just a Sarah show on that piece. But it's a culture of trust, like I said, and it's a culture of transparency. I always like to tell my team, "you know, when I ask questions or probe I'm not trying to get an answer or I'm not trying to, you know, question your way of thinking. I'm trying to understand so that I can be at the same table that you're at and we're not, you know, talking oranges and apples and not realizing it." And so I really try to make sure we foster an environment where there's collaboration, there's trust to have that collaboration. There's trust to have challenges made of each other without it being an inflection of, you know, disliking someone. And then creating that opportunity to ask questions and always stay inquisitive in a way that's meant to greater raise everyone up together. [00:10:28] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, that's a wonderful culture that you're cultivating and I love that. But I think you hit on something really key amongst all of the really great points you made, but one of them that really stood out to me was, you talked about how it's not just the Sarah show in this way. It's a whole group effort. And I think that is a critical component that sometimes is forgotten. Like we sometimes think, you know, it's the leader's sort of job or role or just is. It is their leadership. That sort of filters down into the rest of the company and we think it's like a top down way of doing culture, but culture is about absolutely everybody involved in the company. So I'm curious, how do you empower your team members or, and, or when a new team member comes in, how do you communicate, "Hey, this is who we are, these are our values," and make sure that it is a good cultural fit too. [00:11:23] Sarah Ptach: Yeah. You know, we really at Canyon do a lot of things that are just small to, to reinforce and drive culture. We have these bracelets that you can earn, and what they mean is they're all of our company values and you can honor a fellow coworker for, for going above and beyond, or embodying teamwork or really showing integrity. And they get that read out in front of their whole department, and then they get a bracelet to wear proudly. So we do little things to to enhance our culture. And then there's the more macro level pieces, and I think having a baseline understanding of why we all show up to work every single day. You know, it really is to empower life changing medical innovation, and it's to ensure that all the products on the market are not gonna hurt somebody and they are going to, you know, do what they're meant to do in a positive way. You know, if we can all show up with the basis of "everything I do every day is for patient safety," then I think the getting on board with the culture is a lot easier if we all have that base, like regardless of how your day goes, regardless of your email inbox going crazy, we all agree that, you know, patient safety is what we're here to do. And you know, how we can have fun along the way, support each other, do teamwork is just gravy on top of that. So I'd say it's starting with culture that gets that base level item. And once you get that, everything else is just working better together. [00:12:48] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yes. And honestly, that's a great segue to my next question, but I was really-- I think you, again, honed in on something really critical and having everybody around a shared mission is so cool because that passion and that excitement and that " we're all in this together" and when disagreements or issues come up, which --we're human, they do-- then you can always go back to that shared mission and values of the work we're doing matters. We are all on the same side to provide value to our clients to ensure safety for our patients. So, I think that's a really key thing that you touched on there. Yeah. [00:13:33] Sarah Ptach: Don't get me wrong. I mean, it's a difficult thing to, you know, to keep going on teams. We, Canyon, we did two acquisitions this year. And with that comes a lot of combining cultures, changing culture together, all getting on the same page. And it's not easy, bumps along the road, you know, I think showing that we're all on the same page and working and rowing in the same direction is a conversation I have every single week. And so it's something you can keep reinforcing. And I think it's stacking bricks. You don't just have a house, you gotta continually stack bricks on it. And everyone needs to be involved in saying, "yeah, I wanna be a part of this team and I wanna be a part of this shared mission." And it doesn't build itself overnight. [00:14:19] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, absolutely. So speaking and then mentioning back to that segue, 'cause I just didn't ask the question, but can you share more about Canyon Labs and the incredible work that your company is doing for this industry? [00:14:34] Sarah Ptach: Yeah. Yeah. So like I said we're a full service contract testing and consulting firm within the medical device and pharmaceutical space. You know, a lot of the work we're doing is to help a lot of medical devices and drugs in their validation stage. So, you know, we're working through anything from, you know, designing your package to helping your sterilization strategy. You know, sterilization has been something I talked to, I've spoken on a lot this year. You know, it's a hot topic item in the industry. It's something that a lot of people are dealing with 'cause it has EPA implications as well as now tariffs affecting it as well as supply chain issues within it. So I'd say that's a division I talk to a lot and we help a lot of people navigate those. But the underlying whole piece of Canyon is being that trusted lab partner and we're really trying to raise the standard of service in this industry. You know, I came into Canyon being on the other side of the table and sending samples off to get biocom tested or to go through their sterilization validation. And, you know, for me it was this baby I was sending off to be tested and I don't think I was always met with the best customer service or the best accessible expertise when I needed it. And so we, when we built Canyon, we really built it to, to change that. You know, I want our clients to feel like we're one phone call away for any question that they have. You know, we're not just gonna send them their samples back, say, "sorry, it failed. Let us know when you're ready to give us another PO." That, that transactional relationship is, it's a currency that I don't wanna participate in. And so we really saw it after changing that in the industry. [00:16:16] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Excellent. Well, yeah and I love the fact that you were on that flip side and it could bring such a valuable perspective to the company and go, "okay, here's some lessons learned." You know, and you're always gonna get a mix of it, right? You're gonna get like, "Ooh, I don't know if this is how it should be or needs to be," and you're gonna go, "oh, but here's something that they did excellently." So to bring that very valuable perspective is really cool. [00:16:40] Sarah Ptach: Yeah it's been fun. It's you know, in Canyon's infancy a couple years ago, we had the opportunity to come together with a lot of people from different experiences on our leadership team, and so it's-- as long as we all have the baseline humility to say "the way I did it in the past is not necessarily correct," you know, we could all come together and say, "here's what I did, here's what I did, here's what I did. Okay, let's pick the best of all worlds." So it it was a cool opportunity to have a lot of people with a lot of past experience come to a table that was completely, even in that standpoint. [00:17:18] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Excellent. So I know that you are-- well, okay, so I took a look at your LinkedIn profile and had a wonderful time learning a little bit more about you, but I know you are involved so much. Like you are just, I don't know if you sleep because... [00:17:35] Sarah Ptach: Sometimes. [00:17:36] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. But the, I especially noticed, you know, you're a founding board member for thePACKout and you've done you're involved in a lot of different boards and groups and you're, it seems like you're just, you know, volunteering as kind of your heart and soul and serving in that way. And so I was wondering if you could speak a little bit about those opportunities that you're with too. [00:17:55] Sarah Ptach: Yeah. I think, first and foremost, before any job or role or position I've ever held, I am baseline, a huge proponent of this industry. And, you know, going back to my original reason to be here, it was my dad having Parkinson's and Parkinson's doesn't have a lot of treatment at this point. And it was like, I hate that. So how do I participate in solving that? And I think being involved in the industry, the super cool part, especially about packaging, is there's so much room for improvement at this point. You know, a lot of the standards that we function off of, they are being improved on a yearly basis, but they weren't made that long ago. So the, you know, the baseline ground zero is not that long ago. And I mean, there's people in the industry that are still in the industry that were there when they made ISO 11607. So it's, you know, it's, it's got a lot of room for improvement. I love how much the industry is trying to go back to patients now, and, you know, we're not just trying to design packages or devices that work well for, you know, me, the manufacturer, or me, the physician, but instead it, you know, really does consider patient comfort, patient safety. So the, a lot of what you'll see of my involvement in the industry is related to patient facing parts of of standards. I'm part of the Kilmer Renovations and Packaging Group and specifically I lead the aseptic presentation group, which is meant to evaluate the way that healthcare technicians interact with packaging in a way to help reduce hospital acquired infections. You know, we used to only design packages as an engineer because it's the perfectly engineered package. And, you know, we didn't think about the nurse that's trying to open it and your perfectly engineered package is just way too hard for a nurse to open and the device goes flying across the room. So it you know, we, we weren't considering those things. So our group is trying to correlate opening methods with types of packages and designs of packages. And we're trying to prove that with the different opening techniques that they teach in school for your surgical techs, your nurses, what is the best way for these different packages so that we can make that training and that design fit in the best way possible for positive patient outcomes. So, it's, a lot of my industry involvement is passion based, but I'd also say that a lot of the industry problems they, they can't be solved by just one company and they can't be solved in a silo. So, you know, the only opportunity you get to get all these stakeholders at the same table are these industry groups. And it's unique, I think, to the medical device industry in general that a lot of us care beyond our day jobs. You know, it's like, "cool, this is my day job, but I genuinely, passionately care about the development of my industry. And so I'm willing to, you know, volunteer my personal time." And I see that across the board every day. And it's really cool. I mean, you have people who have huge jobs at, you know, Johnson and Bausch & Lomb and Medtronic, and they're, you know, they're still willing to put their personal time on the table to advance the industry. So, yeah, all my industry involvement's pretty passion based, but it's the medical device industry and medtech industry is one that's super unique. A lot of people feel that personal passion. [00:21:20] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, I couldn't agree more. And thank you for sharing a little bit more about your involvement and your passion for the industry. And I feel so similarly, I, you know, when I joined the industry now a few years ago, I remember having this just moment of getting to meet all these super cool, intelligent innovators that are just literally changing the world and thinking "how lucky am I to be here and play a small part in this big changing thing," and then getting to see exactly to your point, how passionate the people are in the industry and how it's not just a job, it's like a calling. [00:21:59] Sarah Ptach: Well, I think the difference is, you know, in, in medtech, the origin or margin for error is not just financial, it's human. So where you have, you know, maybe your traditional job, you know, the margin of error is a financial impact. You know, the margin of error for people in our industry is human impacts, and that can be positive and negative. So it's hopefully the passion to make those more positively. So. [00:22:24] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes, indeed. Yeah, so, you know, I love the impact your company is making and the industry itself, like you said, is just such a cool place to be, and I think it really does invite those kinds of passionate people who are willing to just kind of be evangelists in a way for the rest of the industry in some fashion and really moving things forward. But because of the impact that's made, I'm wondering are there any moments that really stand out to you as affirming that, "hey, I am in the right place at the right time, in the right industry." [00:22:57] Sarah Ptach: Yeah. I mean, I definitely have some stories where you've-- without disclosing the details of a client-- but you know, you've been part of a launch that you watched that device go change the industry. I was a part of a company that was launching a, it's basically a, an organ transplant way of improving on how organs make it from, you know, the donor to the recipient. And it has improved patient outcomes tenfold to what they used to be. It's made it so that you could take, say, subpar lungs that used to not be able to be donated. And because of this technology, now it can, 'cause it, it has a way of it staying more intact while being transported. And you know, you get involved in those projects and, you know, you might just be helping at a small portion of it, like the sterilization or the packaging or just the biocom testing. But, you know, you watch the outcomes of that and it's like, "wow. Like I, I did that." You know, I've talked to people that work in consumer product goods and, you know, their Super Bowl is seeing their package on the grocery store aisle. And, you know, my, my Super Bowl is seeing the product that you played a part in, reach the market and change the world. Like that's, it's so cool. And to your point before you, you get to be in the room with such cool, innovative, smart people that came up with that product. I am, I'm honored to be the lab testing that is that silent backbone of medical innovation. But to be, you know, that trusted partner to, to get them to the finish line is a, it's a unique feeling, but it's really cool when you get to see a product that you played part of either touch a family member. I've been in an operating room before where I was the one being operated on 'cause I tore my ACL or did something and all I'm doing is looking at all the packaging, like, "Ooh, I did that. I tested that." Such a cool experience. It's sometimes it can be concerning 'cause you're sitting there while your doctor's trying to tell you to just get ready for surgery and you're staring at all the packaging. But it's, it's an awesome round to be in. [00:25:02] Lindsey Dinneen: Oh my goodness. I love that story so much. Yes. I mean, I could see that I, and I've talked to other folks who have similar experiences where they're, you know, they're kind of going along, something happens, they end up needing medical attention, or a family member does, and they go into the, to the hospital and they're like, "oh. I worked on that device" or "Oh, I did the cybersecurity for this one" or whatever, and just like how cool of a just full circle moment is that, and getting to watch in real time and in real life the impact that your work does. That is a huge honor and gift. [00:25:34] Sarah Ptach: Yeah, I I really did tear my ACL and my, and I also broke my back at one point in time, but my back surgeon and I have a really cool relationship and I think it's half because I was probably the biggest pain in the butt patient, 'cause leading up to that surgery it was like, "what device is it? What's the sterilization modality? Tell me what testing they did on it." And I got very lucky. My, my surgeon, his name's Dr. Michael Glisi, he has played actually a big role in getting some better improved medical devices to market both with Globus and with Arthrex. And now he plays a role in training other surgeons on how to best use those medical devices and technology. But it was such a unique relationship to get with him 'cause he's uniquely involved in the industry. So I think he, he maybe tolerates my 9 billion questions better than the average surgeon that just wants to operate on you and see you off. But it was a cool experience to get to, to have that relationship with him now after surgery and watch the impact that, that he's making on the industry as a surgeon too. So I think all stakeholders in this industry hold different areas of importance too. [00:26:49] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, absolutely. Oh my goodness. Yes. And, yeah, I could talk about all of this for days and I'm loving this conversation, but I am gonna pivot it, just for fun. Imagine that you were to be offered a million dollars to teach a masterclass on anything you want, could be within your industry, but it doesn't have to be at all. What would you choose to teach? [00:27:13] Sarah Ptach: Ooh, that's a good question. I do think I would teach it on people leadership. You know, I, i've been in a lot of different roles and scenarios of people, leadership, especially through acquisitions, seeing, you know, the good, bad and ugly of what other folks do. And I've been really fortunate to have a lot of different mentors in my career that took very different leadership strategies. And I'm by no means saying that I'm the perfect people leader, but I think-- I can tell you a lot of different options and why they do and don't work. So if I was to teach a masterclass it'd probably be in that and I'd be heavy on the transparent leadership side. I'd be heavy on fostering a culture of people that are comfortable talking about issues. And it's not a easy thing to balance, I think with also driving, you know, the work product of the business and the financial success of the business. But being able to marry that, to marry, you know, having a great people culture and having, you know, people that, that love being a part of your company. It, to me, it is the most important part of actually driving your financial success of your company too. And I don't think a lot of people correlate that. You know, they think "I'm the ultimate financial driven CEO. I am the gross margin king." And, you know, " I'm driving my shareholder value." But I really think that, while all that is important, it starts with the people and the more you can get people to care about what they're doing beyond just their job, the more that the natural effect is improved gross margin and better financials. So the masterclass I'd probably teach is how to combine positive people, environment, and culture with good company financial success. [00:29:07] Lindsey Dinneen: Ooh, okay. That's a very powerful masterclass I wanna go take so, so sign me up for that, for sure. That's incredible. Yeah. And you have so much advice and insight and I could just tell, like, again, we could probably talk about this for hours and be very happy, so, yeah, I love that. Okay, and then how do you wish to be remembered after you leave this world? [00:29:30] Sarah Ptach: Yeah. Someone that, that cared deeply about the industry and was willing to to give it my all. You know, you, you jokingly said, "when do you sleep?" I'd argue not a lot, but it's because I love it. Like it's 'cause I love what I'm doing and if that means I'm gonna sacrifice some sleep to make sure the thePACKout is an awesome conference or the, you know, KIPP aseptic presentation team has what we need to change a standard or Canyon, you know, do something better and greater, I'll do it all day long. So yeah, I'd like to be remembered as, at the end of the day, she just really cared. And she was in it 110% at all times. [00:30:12] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that. That's a beautiful legacy. Yes, absolutely. Okay, and then final question, what is one thing that makes you smile every time you see or think about it? [00:30:23] Sarah Ptach: Oh, I love that one. I think someone realizing that the solution to the problem that they came up with was truly right and the solution. And it's like you worked through it yourself. You made it through maybe the hard parts of that decision making, but then you executed and hot dang, it worked. Like that is such a cool experience, especially when it's someone's first time ever having like the leadership role of solving a problem or, you know, the project manager role of solving that problem. It's super cool 'cause you get to watch someone's thought process play out. You get to watch where they see the pros and cons of their decision or the faults that could occur. And then you get to watch 'em navigate that, and then it succeeds and it's like, "hot dang, you did it." It's great. I love that. So that's probably something that makes me smile the most is when someone sees, their true potential being achieved, and they get to see it in the form of something as tangible as solving a problem. [00:31:22] Lindsey Dinneen: That is awesome. I love that so much. Oh my goodness. Well, this has been such an amazing conversation. I'm so thankful for you and for you being willing to share some of your time with me and with our listeners. So thank you so much for all the work you do, and thank you for being in the industry, being passionate about this industry and for being a change maker too, in the way that, you know, companies can operate and be successful. And we don't have to think about it just in terms of financial success, but we talk about it in terms of cultural success too. And so, I just really appreciate your perspective, so thank you for all the hard work you're doing to change lives for a better world. [00:32:02] Sarah Ptach: Thank you. Yeah, thank you, Lindsey. And likewise what you do. It's awesome to see you highlighting some of the stories in the industry and bringing together really good conversations like this. So thank you. [00:32:11] Lindsey Dinneen: Awesome. And we are so honored to be making a donation as a thank you for your time today to the Michael J. Fox Foundation, which is dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson's disease through an aggressively funded research agenda and to ensuring the development of improved therapies for those living with Parkinson's today. So thank you for choosing that organization to support. Again, thank you so much and thank you also to our listeners for tuning in and if you're feeling as inspired as I am right now, I would love it if you would share this episode with a colleague or two and we'll catch you next time.

Geraldine und Thomas Konrad-Maier – besser bekannt als Tom & Jerry – reisten im November 2024 durch Madagaskar. In ihrem Vortrag erzählen sie von einer Insel voller Kontraste: von spektakulären Landschaften, stillen Alltagsmomenten und eindrücklichen Begegnungen mit den Menschen vor Ort. Mit persönlichen Anekdoten und offenem Blick eröffnen sie Zugänge zu einer Kultur, die berührt und inspiriert. Ihr Anliegen geht über den klassischen Reisebericht hinaus – sie wollen Perspektiven erweitern und Verbindungen schaffen. Tom & Jerry bereisten mit VW-Bus und Rucksack drei Kontinente. In der Fernwehkolumne des Bieler Tagblatts berichteten sie regelmässig über ihre Erfahrungen unterwegs. Heute leben sie in Schmerikon (SG) – und teilen weiterhin das, was ihnen unterwegs begegnet ist: Geschichten, Menschen, Perspektiven.

Der Begriff "Digitale Souveränität" ist gegenwärtig eines der großen IT-Themen. In einer Zeit, in der die politischen und wirtschaftlichen Spannungen rund um den Globus zunehmen, stellt sich für viele Unternehmen oder Behörden die Frage, ob und wie sehr sie abhängig sind von ausländischen Soft- und Hardwareanbietern. Und was schlimmstenfalls droht, wenn diese quasi von heute auf morgen ihren Dienst einstellen würden. Doch was ist Digitale Souveränität eigentlich genau? Und wie weit sind die Unternehmen damit? Und ist es für alle überhaupt ein erstrebenswertes Ziel? Mark Lohweber ist der CEO des Dortmunder IT-Unternehmens Adesso. Er hat mit seinen Mitarbeitern eine große Umfrage dazu erhoben. Im Podcast erklärt er nicht nur, wie sich die Unternehmen selbst einschätzen und wie weit sie sind. Sondern auch, warum es je nach Branche, Unternehmensgröße oder -ausrichtung unterschiedlich wichtig ist, ob die Nutzer nun digital souverän sind oder nicht. Wir diskutieren das auch am Beispiel des Bundesnachrichtendienstes, des Frankfurter Flughafens und des Traditionsunternehmens Bosch.

Die Künstliche Intelligenz beeindruckt inzwischen Milliarden Menschen rund um den Globus. Große KI-Sprachmodelle können vielseitig Fragen beantworten und Texte verfassen auch zu komplizierten Themen und in nahezu allen erdenklichen Formaten und Stilen. Zugleich tobt eine Diskussion darüber, was der richtige Weg ist, um Computer den Fähigkeiten des Gehirns weiter anzunähern. Müssen die Modelle einfach nur größer werden? Oder braucht es mehr? Wir wollen angesichts dessen wieder einmal umfassender auf diese Technologie blicken. Wie kam es eigentlich, dass die Menschen angefangen haben, überhaupt zu glauben, dass ihre Intelligenz künstlich nachbaubar ist? Der an der TU Darmstadt forschende Kognitionswissenschaftler Frank Jäkel arbeitet an einer spannenden Schnittstelle: Er erforscht, wie Menschen Probleme lösen und versucht, das in Software nachzubilden. Er weiß also, wie Menschen lernen und sich verhalten - und wie Computer Informationen verarbeiten können. Mit ihm sprechen wir über René Décartes, Alan Turing, Joseph Weizenbaum, die KI-Gründungskonferenz in den fünfziger Jahren. Er sagt, was Intelligenz überhaupt ist, was einen Computer von einer Maschine unterscheidet, was Denken ist und wie wir Menschen lernen. Ein Ergebnis: Wir lernen auf vielen Wegen und in vielen Formen - das maschinelle Lernen der KI-Modelle bildet nur einen kleinen Teil davon ab. Gleichwohl sind die Modelle immer besser. Wo also endet das? Auch auf diese Frage versuchen wir eine Antwort zu finden.

Dass nicht jede Reise, mit der man zu Hause Eindruck zu schinden vermag, so auch stattgefunden hat, weiß man in Deutschland spätestens seit Karl May. Wieviel von der Weltumrundung eines gewissen Benno Jacob wahr ist, der von dieser im Hamburger Echo vom 14. August 1925 Kunde gibt, lässt sich auf die Ferne nicht ermitteln – gewisse Zweifel sind wohl durchaus angebracht an seinem Bericht, der sich gleichwohl launig liest. Vom Balkan bis in den Wilden Westen – fast alle Weltgegenden, in denen Old Shatterhand alias Kara ben Nemsi seine Abenteuer bestand, will dieser Benno Jacob auch durchstreift haben. Wo Karl May daraus etliche Dutzend vielhundertseitige Romane generierte, bringt unser Held seine Weltreise indes in nicht einmal achtzig Zeilen unter. Rosa Leu rauscht mit ihm einmal um den Globus.

Maggie Schauer ist Psychologin und eine ausgewiesene Expertin zur Behandlung von Traumafolgestörungen. Ihre Expertise führt sie rund um den Globus in Kriegsgebiete und Krisenregionen, zu Menschen, die Naturkatastrophen erlebten, und zu ehemaligen Kindersoldaten. Sie sagt: Trauma geht alle an. Traumatisierungen sind keineswegs selten. Denn traumatisierend wirken nicht nur körperliche Gewalt oder extreme Entbehrungen, sondern ebenso tiefe Kränkungen, Mobbing oder Liebesentzug. Besonders schwer wiegen Traumata, die Kindern zugeführt werden. Ob Betroffene auch psychisch erkranken, hängt weniger von der Schwere des Erlebten ab, als von der Häufung, sagt die Psychotraumatologin Maggie Schauer. Wer eine geborgene Kindheit hatte, steckt eine Naturkatastrophe oder eine Flucht später besser weg. Traumafolgeerkrankungen gehören aber nicht nur behandelt wegen des enormen Leidensdrucks, den sie verursachen, sondern ebenso, weil ihnen unbehandelt ein grosses Gefahrenpotenzial innewohnt: Traumata werden nicht nur weitergegeben, sondern führen nicht selten zu Gewaltausbrüchen. Trauma geht deshalb alle an, ist Schauer überzeugt, und fordert, dass auch traumatisierte Asylsuchende Therapieplätze erhalten. Barbara Bleisch trifft die renommierte Expertin zum Gespräch.

This is the first time we have exclusive focused on Riverside Luxury Cruises, and I am excited to meet Jen and learn about Riverside. Jen Halboth is the CEO of Riverside Luxury Cruises, Americas.  She believes that title really stands for Chief Engagement Officer.  Travel, after all, is a business built by and for humans to get out and discover the world and each other.  To do that, you have to be engaged. Before she joined Riverside in 2022, she was with Avalon Waterways and the Globus family of brands for 19 years, most recently in the Senior Director – National Accounts role.  She held various sales and marketing positions during her tenure and even sharpened her teeth on operations, planning and hosting successful charter programs for travel industry partners including Virtuoso, Signature Travel Network and Travel Leaders. Halboth's initial foray into the world of travel began in 1998 when she worked in advertising and marketing for one of the very first internet travel sites, Trip.com.  Though her career is quite varied.  Before diving into travel full-time with the Globus family of brands, she was a founding member and account executive at PR & Marketing agency LH3 in Denver.  Prior to exploring the agency world, she was Trade Marketing Manager at Airwalk, which manufactured and marketed snowboarding boots and skate shoes.  She graduated from the University of Michigan, Ross School of Business in 1995 before moving to Colorado where she began her career in professional sports. She worked in public relations for the Stanley Cup Champion Colorado Avalanche in 1995.  And yes, she does have a Stanley Cup ring.When Halboth isn't out creating preference and excitement for Riverside Luxury Cruises she spends her time in Evergreen, Colorado with her son Hank, sweet puppers Daisy Cakes and an amazing tribe of family and friends biking,Do you have a dream car?Keep Travelling – Your African VacationInsightful interviews with Africa's tourism professionals - Great giveaways from 5* guestsListen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showSupport thejoyofcruisingpodcast https://www.buzzsprout.com/2113608/supporters/newSupport Me https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drpaulthContact Me https://www.thejoyofcruising.net/contact-me.htmlBook Cruises http://www.thejoyofvacation.com/US Orders (coupon code joyofcruisingpodcast)The Joy of Cruising https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingCruising Interrupted https://bit.ly/CruisingInterruptedThe Joy of Cruising Again https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingAgainIntl Orders via Amazon

The Trade Secrets Tech Summit (season six of the podcast) is taking a quick summer break. In the meantime, co-hosts Emma Weissmann and Jamie Biesiada are sharing some of their favorite past episodes. Join them this week for a look back at last season’s episode about finding and maintaining a good work-life balance. Enjoy! This episode was sponsored by Globus family of brands. -- Balancing work responsibilities with the needs of personal life has become exponentially more difficult for travel advisors as workloads have increased. But it’s also critically important to find time for friends, family and hobbies outside of work, and to develop systems at work that improve efficiency and allow you to step away. What kind of boundaries should you set, and how can you enforce them? What can you automate to take more things off your plate? Hear all about this and more on this episode of Trade Secrets, featuring Host Agency Reviews founder Stephanie Lee.

„DIE WELT IST IM WANDEL“ - wenn Schmitt diese mahnenden Worte wie eine verschissene Zauberfee aus Herr der Ringe ins Mikrofon flüstert, dann erwartet man als Baywatch Berlin Hörer:in natürlich erstmal: gar nix. Sofort denkt man, dass die angekündigte Revolution am Ende wieder sowas wie „Der Fleischkäsweck kost bei Globus jetzt 1,20€“ ist, Jakob daraufhin den Basler macht und Klaas nochmal erzählt, dass man Essen jetzt auch trinken kann. Irgendsowas. Baywatch halt. Doch diesmal ist alles anders, diesmal wird es tatsächlich existenziell und philoso- nee, das nicht, aber auch nicht komplett egal, denn die drei Gelehrten sinnieren (wie immer völlig ungegoogelt) über das Thema unserer Zeit: Wie wird künstliche Intelligenz unsere Welt verändern? Wessen Job wird als erstes ersetzt? Woraus besteht die Kunst des Menschen und wird sie in zwei Jahren noch gebraucht? Warum ist das Sommerhaus ein zukünftiger Sehnsuchtsort und warum sollte man noch lernen, wenn man das gesamte Wissen der Menschheit mit sich rumträgt? Was ist los? Sind wir hier bei den Lobos, oder was? Wenn ich Baywatch Berlin anwerfe, will ich keine Existenzängste bekommen, sondern genau die Fragen klären, bei denen auch künstliche Intelligenz überfordert wäre: Was macht man, wenn man bemerkt, dass der Friseur, der dir gerade die Haare schneidet, sturzbesoffen ist? Wie bringt man der Schwiegermutter schonend bei, dass es keine gute Idee ist, ohne handwerkliches Geschick und Wissen einen Parkplatz in den Vorgarten zu teeren? Wie will Lundt allen ernstes und mit voller Überzeugung erklären, dass ein 30€-Wein, ein absolutes Schnäppchen und damit ein bodenständiger Spartipp ist? Und warum hat Schmitt in Tokio Hotel-Georg sein Spirit Animal gefunden? „Die Welt ist im Wandel“, das mag ja stimmen, aber wir können sie beruhigen: In diesem Podcast BLEIBT!ALLES! SO! WIE ES IST! und auch wenn „künstliche Intelligenz“ mal kurz Thema ist, wird Baywatch Berlin - immer und für alle Zeit - von menschlicher Dummheit erzählen.

Today is all about travel brands making an entry into Europe river cruising. We’ve been surprised this year by the number of established names moving in to the Rhine, Danube and beyond: Celebrity, Trafalgar and National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions among them. With Lisa Fitzgerald, a river-cruise expert advisor and founder of Fitzgerald Travel, and river cruise editor Brinley Hineman, we’re exploring why each of these brands is approaching river, and how they’re doing it in different ways. We’ll also look at the popularity of emerging destinations around the world, and numbers from Viking, the biggest river cruise line. We also talk about Brinley’s trip on Riverside Luxury Cruises – this episode was recorded in mid-May, so that trip has already concluded, and we've included some of her reporting in the show notes.
