I was going to open my message with excerpts from Charles Spurgeon's message, The Christian's Great Business, but ended up largely preaching his compelling message on every Christian's Great Commission responsibility. It was true when the inspired Word of God was written. It was true when Spurgeon preached it September 7th, 1873. It's true for all believers today! May God be pleased to Make the Great Commission Great Again in His Church and thus in the earth!

Send us a textIn this week's masterclass episode, I sit down with Neil Byce, Owner of CW Companies, Vice Chair of ReMA, and future Chair of the association.Neil built one of the fastest-growing scrap companies in the U.S., with 15 yards and counting. But he's done it the hard way, by learning what breaks when you scale fast.This episode is a deep dive into the shift from being a hands-on owner running a good yard, to building a high-performance business that can scale, sustain, and succeed without you in the room.In this episode, we talk about:

Recorded live at Momentum 26 in Newcastle, this special episode of The UK Flooring Podcast is Sarah Cockerill's keynote, delivered to a room full of flooring business owners who probably did not come for “a talk about numbers”. Sarah opens with a confession that will feel familiar: she is not naturally a numbers person, and she actually hates them, but she has learned that the right numbers, looked at consistently, will tell you the real story of your business.She takes you back to where her relationship with money started (Yorkshire upbringing, Barclays in the family, bags of pub receipts on the living room floor), then brings it right into the messy middle of running a flooring business. A knock on the door from HMRC (a £20k CIS bill) kicked off a chain reaction that lots of owners will recognise: trying to “sell your way out” of a cash problem by pushing turnover, getting bigger, adding people, and hoping the money sorts itself out. Sarah is very clear, that approach nearly cost them everything.From there, the keynote becomes a practical reset. Sarah breaks down what actually went wrong (overtrading, losing control of cash flow, treating the business account like a personal purse, and letting systems lag behind growth), then gives a simple framework to stop it happening to you. No accounting lectures, just habits: keep all finance data in one place, use separate bank pots (especially for HMRC), pick one tool, pick one report, learn a small set of key numbers, and ask for help the moment you do not understand something.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why “numbers tell a story”, and how to read the story without being an accountantThe real danger of chasing turnover to solve a cash problem, and why it feels right in the momentThe HMRC CIS bill lesson, and what it revealed about cash flow and controlThe three silent killers Sarah points to: overtrading, losing control of cash flow, and treating the business bank account like your own purseWhy growth is not the problem, but growth without systems isHow to simplify your finances fast: one inbox (accountant email), one place for data, and a set time to deal with itWhy separate bank pots matter (including a dedicated HMRC pot), and how it removes panic from the business“Choose one tool”, and stop mixing spreadsheets, software, and half-finished systemsThe power of one report (year-to-date, month-by-month) to spot patterns quicklyHow department coding helps you track where profit is really being made (or lost), and why that matters when you run multiple servicesA simple way to hunt “profit leakage”, and identify the small gaps that quietly drain profit over timeThe most important rule if you are confused by any of it: ask someone who understands, and learn through consistencyMemorable Quote:“Numbers tell a story.”Speaker InformationSarah CockerillKeynote recorded live at Momentum 26 (Newcastle)Where to Find The UK Flooring Podcast:Website: https://theukflooringpodcast.co.uk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theukflooringpodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theukflooringpodcast/ Hosted on Acast.

If you've spent any time with founders or investors in São Paulo this year, you know the questions filling every conversation.Can Brazil still generate breakout winners? Is AI killing SaaS?

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, sponsored by CLOUDVICE, I explore how Oracle's new CEOs, Mike Sicilia and Clay Magouyrk, are steering the company deeper into the AI revolutionHighlights00:00 — Today's episode is brought to you by CloudVice, winner of the 2025 Oracle North America Technology and Cloud AI Innovation Partner Award. “We're honored to receive the 2025 Oracle North America Technology & Cloud AI Innovation Partner Award, a recognition that underscores CLOUDVICE's unwavering commitment to advancing enterprise AI on Oracle Cloud,” said Jaison Correya, CEO of CLOUDVICE. “This achievement reflects the breakthrough projects and real-world transformations we've delivered with Oracle — and at Oracle AI World 2025, we took that vision even further by unveiling CORX, our next-generation platform where AI thinks, Cloud scales, Blockchain verifies, and Robotics acts. It represents the next leap in intelligent automation and the future of real-world autonomy."00:25 — So, we're beginning to hear the strategies Oracle's two new CEOs are taking. That's Mike Sicilia and Clay Magouyrk. It's clear they think that Oracle's supremacy in data and infrastructure is going to make them successful in AI — to the point that their main focus is: how do we drive great customer outcomes using AI services?01:20 — And Oracle's plan, which they've been talking about a little bit and will unveil this week in much more detail, is that while LLMs currently work with public internet data, they're going to make available — very securely, privately, and with all requisite compliance — enterprise data that also can be accessed by those LLMs.02:21 — Clay Magouyrk talked a bit about the work Oracle has done to reach the point where its infrastructure is seen as superior. Magouyrk said that inside Oracle, the idea came up — “What if we shrunk the cloud down to a very tiny size? Could we get better performance, and could we give more deployment options to customers?” — it turned out that was exactly the case.03:28 — This week at Oracle AI World, they're going to introduce a new cloud bundle that has three racks — from 40 to three. Also, the stunning multicloud agreements that Oracle has reached with other hyperscalers — Microsoft, Google Cloud, and AWS — mean that those three competitors of Oracle sell the Oracle Database to their customers through their own clouds.04:21 — Because for all the things Oracle has done in its first 48 or 49 years, the next five years, triggered by all these changes we've just described, are going to be very different. Sicilia said, “One of the things you can count on as we move forward into those next five years is that we are currently, at Oracle, taking a very different approach.” Visit Cloud Wars for more.

They told Kia exactly how it worked. - Mit einer soliden Geschäftsidee und viel Fleiß kann man in Australien gutes Geld verdienen.

In tough times, savvy investors tend to overlook the growth hype and focus on stocks with solid management, strong business models, and resilient markets. Building supplies retailer Cashbuild always fitted the bill, but lost its shine after a R350m acquisition didn't go according to plan. As a result, the share price dropped 20% in the past six months. Cashbuild's low-key CEO Werner de Jager spoke to BizNews editor Alec Hogg after this morning's publication of the FY25 results. There's a lot for existing and potential shareholders to like about what he shared.

Dr. Brent Ridge and Josh Kilmer Purcell are good friends of the station and have been on several times to talk about their business Beekman 1802. They launched the business in one of New York's poorest counties with no funding and in the middle of a punishing recession. They didn't have much of a business plan, but they did have some timeless wisdom that Brent's and Josh's parents and grandparents taught them. The "greatest of all time" principles for good living that can also be used as a foundation for any business. That led them to the new book “G.O.A.T. Wisdom: How to Build a Truly Great Business--From the Founders of Beekman 1802.”

In this episode of Medsider Radio, we sat down with Ryan Rhodes, CEO of EDAP TMS. EDAP is changing prostate cancer treatment through Focal One, a robotic high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) system that doesn't require the use of surgery or radiation. Ryan has over 30 years of experience in market development, with two decades focused on medical robotics. Before EDAP, Ryan was CEO of Restoration Robotics, where he guided the company to a successful merger with Venus Concept. He spent 13+ years at Intuitive Surgical, establishing the global Urology franchise, which became the company's entry point for broader adoption of the da Vinci system. He also spent 11 years at Ethicon (J&J) in sales, marketing, and market development.In this interview, Ryan challenges founders to ask: Are you creating a scalable medtech solution or a product with limited growth potential? He unpacks why standardization and scalability are critical for adoption, how clinical data fuels credibility and reimbursement, and why early adopters take the biggest risks — but also reap the biggest rewards.Before we dive into the discussion, I wanted to mention a few things:First, if you're into learning from medical device and health technology founders and CEOs, and want to know when new interviews are live, head over to Medsider.com and sign up for our free newsletter.Second, if you want to peek behind the curtain of the world's most successful startups, you should consider a Medsider premium membership.
