Driemaal meer licht, betekent driemaal betere foto's. eyeo is erin geslaagd om beeldsensoren zodanig te verbeteren dat men nu al voor hun technologie in de rij staan. De spinoff van Imec haalde onlangs nog 40 miljoen euro op om hun beeldsensoren verder te ontwikkelen. Zijn de tijden van gebrekkige foto's in het donker straks echt voorbij? Vandaag de dag verliezen camera's zo'n 70 procent aan het binnenvallende licht. Door de kleurenfilters die de afgelopen 50 jaar in onze chips zitten, worden bepaalde kleuren eruit gefilterd. Dat resulteert in minder kwaliteit. Door de ontwikkelingen in de fotonica gooit eyeo het nu over een hele andere boeg. Met hun Nanophotonic Color Splitting technologie wordt elke kleur specifiek opgevangen op de chip en gaat het licht niet meer verloren. Door deze technologie kunnen beveiligingscamera's 's nachts bijvoorbeeld meer zien, en kan de volgende generatie VR-brillen een stuk kleiner. Ook de frontcamera op je smartphone zou voortaan achter het glas geplaatst kunnen worden, omdat er anders wordt omgegaan met het licht. Toch zal eyeo wereldwijde spelers moeten overtuigen van het feit dat de kwaliteit straks ook op grote schaal overeind blijft. Want eyeo droomt groot, en wil hun technologie straks in álle beeldsensoren. Hoe gaat eyeo het hoofd bieden aan de enorme concurrentie? En zijn de risico's niet tóch te groot?

Most real estate broker/owners and team leaders think they know how to coach new agents. They hand them a training manual, walk them through the basics, and tell them to start prospecting. And then they watch 80% of those new agents wash out within the first two years — and wonder what went wrong. In this episode of The Brian Icenhower Podcast, Brian Icenhower and co-host Christina Morales get into the real reason new agent coaching fails — and it starts with understanding who you're actually dealing with. The conversation digs deep into DISC behavioral profiles and how understanding them transforms the way leaders develop new agents. Not every agent should be door knocking. Not every agent should be cold calling expireds. And putting agents into lead generation activities that run against their behavioral wiring isn't coaching — it's setting them up to quit. In this episode, you'll learn: What DISC behavioral profiles are and why every real estate leader needs to understand them Why D's push through rejection while I's are paralyzed by it — and how that changes your lead generation recommendations for each agent Why S's and I's naturally gravitate toward sphere of influence marketing while D's and C's prefer working with people they don't know Why organic social media works for I's and S's but feels completely unnatural to D's and C's How to match lead generation activities to an agent's behavioral profile to keep them operating in their strengths Why D's make up the majority of team leaders — and why that's exactly the problem when it comes to leadership and systems What Brian calls "mayor of crazy town" — and why most agents get stuck there when left without accountability Why new agents need both sphere of influence development AND active lead generation simultaneously — and how to coach both at once The real conversion rate reality check that most new agents aren't prepared for Why self-awareness is the single most important leadership skill — and why it rarely comes naturally to the profiles most likely to start teams This is a coaching conversation that gets honest about what leadership in real estate actually looks like — and what most broker/owners and team leaders are getting wrong with their newest agents.

Zero Trust has transitioned from buzzword to basic necessity. As AI has transformed the cybersecurity landscape, becoming a tool for both attack and defence, organisations are being forced to rethink how thy protect themselves, their users, and their networks. Technology Now welcomes back friend of the show Jaye Tillson, CTO Security and HPE Distinguished Technologist to discuss:• The impact of AI on cyber threats as well as cybersecurity• How Zero Trust can contain breeches if they cannot be prevented entirely• Why limited access is more important than ever in a distributed network

Hoeveel invloed kan AI hebben op de rechtspraak, zonder dat het haar menselijke kant verliest? Net als in veel andere sectoren wordt AI veelvuldig gebruikt, al is dat voorlopig vooral achter de schermen. Van het plannen van zittingen en het doorzoeken van jurisprudentie tot het samenvatten van dossiers: de technologie belooft efficiëntie, maar roept tegelijkertijd fundamentele vragen op over vertrouwen, transparantie en de kernprincipes van onze rechtsstaat. Wereldwijd experimenteren rechtbanken met systemen die jurisprudentie doorzoeken, dossiers samenvatten en administratieve processen versnellen. Het betekent vaak efficiënter werken, maar brengt tegelijkertijd ook nieuwe risico's met zich mee. Want wie is verantwoordelijk als er fouten worden gemaakt? En wat gebeurt er als AI gaat hallucineren en deze data in het systeem belandt? Een van de belangrijkste vragen is waar de grens ligt. Zal AI ooit zelf vonnissen gaan schrijven? Het is verre toekomstmuziek, maar zeker niet uitgesloten. Universitair hoofddocent Informatierecht aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam Els de Busser stelt een harde grens: AI gaat nooit een rechter vervangen. Maar hoe ver zal het AI-gebruik uiteindelijk gaan? In deze aflevering bespreken Ben van der Burg en Mark Beekhuis hoe AI het werk van rechters verandert, hoe de technologie een steeds grotere rol krijgt en wat Nederland kan leren van experimenten in het buitenland.

Most traders spend years searching for the "perfect" strategy. But what happens when two consistently profitable traders—each with completely different beliefs about how markets move—sit down for a face-to-face debate? In this fascinating conversation, Humble Trader defends the ICT philosophy that markets move according to an algorithm targeting liquidity, while Paul Scott, a former institutional trader, argues that markets are driven by real order flow, human decision-making, and institutional value—not a hidden algorithm. Together, they challenge each other's assumptions on market structure, liquidity, sniper entries, risk management, psychology, patience, and what it really takes to become consistently profitable. Whether you trade ICT, price action, or institutional concepts, this discussion offers valuable insights into how elite traders think, manage losses, and build unwavering confidence in their edge. Humble Trader's LinkTikTok Paul Scott's LinkWebsite Podcast Interview Paul Scott's and Humble Trader's Trading Strategies Key Lessons [03:11] "News events don't mean the market algorithm stops working. They're simply part of how price is delivered to liquidity targets." - Humble Trader [04:17] "Execution algorithms used by banks are different from the idea that one giant algorithm controls the market. Banks turn execution algorithms off during major news because they can't think for themselves and can amplify volatility." - Paul Scott [06:06] "The market itself is what follows an algorithm. Even if banks stop their execution algorithms, price continues to move. That's why it's possible to anticipate liquidity targets and where price may reverse." - Humble Trader [08:16] "You can never know whether the market will go up or down. Let the market show its hand before entering a trade." - Paul Scott [09:39] "Backtest your approach as far back as your charts allow. Confidence comes from seeing that your strategy has worked over many years of historical data." - Humble Trader [12:34] "Trade from price, not from timeframes. Price is the same whether you're looking at a monthly chart or a one-minute chart." - Paul Scott [14:46] "Finish your trading early if possible. Make your money, manage your trade, and spend the rest of your day enjoying life with your family." - Humble Trader [16:11] "Patience is essential. Mark your levels beforehand, set alerts, and only trade when price reaches your predetermined area." - Paul Scott [17:17] "Prepare before the market opens. Know where price is likely to go, follow your checklist, remain patient, stay disciplined, and wait for your setup." - Humble Trader [18:40] "Wait for confirmation. Let the market reveal its intention before joining the move." - Humble Trader [20:33] "Stop strategy hopping. Find a method that fits you and master it instead of constantly searching for a better strategy." - Humble Trader [23:39] "Accept that losses are inevitable. Reduce your position size after a loss, wait patiently for the next quality setup, and avoid emotional trading." - Humble Trader [25:32] "Don't take losses personally. Trading is a business. Sometimes the market gives you money, and sometimes it takes some back." - Paul Scott [25:48] "If you get stopped out at the same level multiple times, stop trading that level and wait for the next opportunity." - Paul Scott [30:29] "After every trade, study why price reacted where it did. Ask yourself what you missed, whether it was liquidity, imbalance, or another market structure clue, so your execution improves over time." - Humble Trader

If you lead a real estate team, you've probably dealt with this problem: agents who depend entirely on the team for leads, never build their own book of business, and disappear the moment the lead flow slows down. It's one of the most common — and most frustrating — challenges in real estate team leadership. And in this episode of The Brian Icenhower Podcast, Brian breaks down the system that solves it. It's called the Matching Standard, and it's one of the most powerful tools ICT coaches use with team leaders across North America. The Matching Standard is a scoreboard approach to lead distribution that tracks where every closing came from — did the agent generate it themselves, or did it come from the team? That distinction drives everything: commission split escalations, lead distribution decisions, and the culture of accountability that separates high-performing teams from ones that stay stuck. In this episode, you'll learn: Why agents who depend entirely on team-generated leads are a liability — and how the Matching Standard changes that dynamic How to track agent-generated vs. team-generated production on a visible, shared dashboard Why less than 15% of real estate agents have a working database — and what that means for your team's long-term health The difference between lead generation and lead conversion, and why conflating the two is costing your agents business How to use the Matching Standard to structure fair, merit-based lead distribution that rewards the right production behaviors How to roll this system out at your next team meeting or retreat Why agents who leave teams that use this system tend to fall apart — and agents who stay tend to grow Whether you're running a 5-agent team or a 50-agent brokerage, the Matching Standard gives you a framework to stop subsidizing dependency and start building a culture where agents genuinely want to generate their own clients.

We nemen je mee naar het jaar 600. Naar de diepe, vroege middeleeuwen die vaak overschaduwd zijn gebleven door de glorie van het Imperium Romanum in de periode daarvoor en de fascinatie van de eeuwen van ridders, kathedralen, kruistochten en Zwarte Dood erna. Toch traden in die jaren rond 600 en in de zevende eeuw mensen naar voren met gebeurtenissen en patronen waarvan wij ook in 2026 nog erfgenamen zijn en de impact volop ondergaan. Zo bereikte paus Bonifatius III in 607 een politieke regeling met zijn politieke baas, keizer Phocas in Constantinopel. Die legde bij decreet vast dat de bisschop van Rome zichzelf als de meest vooraanstaande van alle prelaten mocht zien, als hoofd van de christelijke gemeenschappen in Europa. Zonder die formaliteit hadden we de grote politiek-morele rol van Petrus-opvolgers als Leo XIII en zijn baanbrekende politieke visie niet gekend. En ook niet de opmerkelijke rol van Leo XIV nu als geweten en tolk van kritische stemmen over MAGA en kunstmatige intelligentie. En zelfs het internet vindt zijn oorsprong rond 600. Daarvoor gaan we naar Sevilla, waar in die jaren een toonaangevende geleerde de politiek en de wetenschap een enorme impuls gaf. Daartoe aangedreven door zijn politieke ambitie om in Spanje een vruchtbare en vreedzame integratie van verschillende tradities en herkomst aan te wakkeren. Isidorus van Sevilla werkte decennia aan tientallen wetenschappelijke publicaties en was bovendien een invloedrijk staatsman en kerkelijk prelaat. Zijn twintigdelige 'Etymologiae' werd een bestseller en een van belangrijkste boeken in de tien eeuwen die volgden. Hij bracht daarin alle bestaande kennis bijeen en ordende die in zijn alomvattende wereldencyclopedie als curriculum voor elke school en universiteit tot in de Renaissance. Hij werd een soort eenmans-Wikipedia of zoekmachine. De moslimheersers van Zuid-Spanje vereerden Isidorus minstens zo vurig als de christelijke vorsten, kloosters, universiteiten en andere kenniscentra in heel Europa. Zo werd hij al vroeg de beschermheilige van studenten en maakte in 2002 de Poolse Paus hem beschermheilige van ICT'ers en van het Internet als geheel. Het jaar 600 had in Isidorus een vroege Alexander von Humboldt. De integratie, communicatie en intensieve relaties tussen de volkeren kreeg in de zevende eeuw nog een andere impuls. De naam daarachter was Bumin Khan, leider van de Turkse stammen in Midden-Azië die zich de Göztürken noemden. Hij bracht hen bijeen en veroverde een reusachtig imperium. Zijn heerschappij strekte van Oekraïne en de Krim tot de Muur van China bij Beijing en Mantsjoerije. De Göztürken legden de basis voor de enorme rijken van de Mongolen, de Gouden Horde, het Ilkhanaat in Iran, de Mogol en de wereldomspannende handelsroutes, culturele uitwisseling, commercie en geldverkeer langs de Zijderoute. De erfenis van hun krachtig bewind beheerst nog hun vazallen in het vorstendom Moskou, in de Straat van Hormuz, in China en India. Erfgenaam en wereldheerser Timoer Lenk bevleugelde de fantasie eeuwen later nog. Als operaheld 'Tamerlano' inspireerde hij Händel tot een van diens mooiste opera's. Het fundament voor een wereldomspannende en nog altijd actuele erfenis werd rond het jaar 600 ook gelegd door een koopman uit Mekka. Mohammed was een filosofisch en spiritueel criticus van het veelgodendom van zijn tijd en samenleving. Hij benadrukte de cruciale betekenis van de monotheïstische kerngedachte van jodendom en christendom. Zo werd hij voor zijn volgelingen 'het zegel der profeten'. Hoe zijn traditie en opvolgers na zijn dood die kerngedachte - de Islam - hebben voorgezet is nog altijd relevant en bron van politieke verschillen. Mohammeds invloed op de Europese historie en cultuur sinds 600 is enorm. Van Al-Andalus na Isidorus tot de eeuwen van worsteling met het Huis Habsburg op de Balkan en de Middellandse Zee. Van 'Liever Turks dan Paaps' en 'Alla Turca' muziek en opera's van Mozart tot de dichter Hafez die Johann Wolfgang von Goethe een heel nieuwe bron van poëzie deed ontsluiten. En de komst van Europa rond 600? Daarvoor gaan we terug naar onze eigen streken. Naar Pepijn de Oude uit de streken langs de Maas, Karel Martel en hun politieke manoeuvres die de Merovingische koningen op een zijspoor dwongen en een meer regionalistisch en feodaal Europa liet ontstaan. Hun nazaat Karel bracht daar meer centrale lijn in. Hij sloot een alliantie met een opvolger van Bonifatius III. Keizer en paus zouden samen Europa vorm, gezicht en stijl gaan geven. *** Verder luisteren 574 – Hormuz: eeuwenoud brandpunt van de wereld 567 - De geschiedenis beukt op Europa's deur.

After spending years treating the markets like a casino, Cammy Capital finally discovered the missing piece that completely transformed his trading career. In this episode, he shares his eight-year journey from blowing accounts and chasing momentum trades to becoming a consistently profitable futures trader using volume profile, order flow, and market structure. Cammy explains why he abandoned ICT after years of studying it, how switching to futures changed everything, and why understanding what's happening behind the candlesticks gave him the confidence he had been searching for. He also breaks down his scalping strategy, why he prefers trading the Asian session, how he manages multiple prop firm accounts, and the mindset shifts that helped him overcome losing streaks and build lasting consistency. Whether you're struggling to become profitable or looking to refine your current trading approach, this interview is packed with practical insights on strategy, psychology, risk management, and finding a trading style that truly fits your personality. Cammy's Link YouTube Podcast Interview Cammy's Trading Strategy Key Lessons [06:02] "Treating trading like a casino won't work. You need a structured system." [09:18] "If your strategy constantly creates conflicting signals or doesn't fit your personality, it may not be the right system for you." [13:38] "Volume Profile is much simpler than most people think. Master Value Area High, Value Area Low, and Point of Control." [15:50] "You can use futures volume data to improve CFD trading decisions." [17:10] "Trade the session that fits both your personality and lifestyle." [20:12] "A 60–80% win rate is enough when your execution is consistent." [23:19] "Track your personal trading statistics even if you don't keep a detailed journal." [24:18] "Choose prop firms based on your objectives rather than brand loyalty." [25:22] "Treat evaluation accounts differently from funded accounts. Your real risk is the evaluation fee." [28:00] "Adapt your trading style to your personality instead of forcing yourself to become someone you're not." [29:49] "Losing becomes easier when you focus on large sample sizes instead of individual trades." [30:01] "The coin flip exercise teaches that losing streaks are normal, even with profitable systems." [31:55] "Don't abandon a strategy after a short losing streak. Judge it over a much larger sample." [33:50] "Aim for trading income that covers your monthly expenses first." [37:07] "Find a trading style that matches your personality before going all in." [38:00] "Don't assume someone else's profitable strategy will automatically work for you."

AI is making our technology smarter… but it's also making it much, much hotter. With higher demand for HPC and enterprise AI, data centres are having to adapt to meet the changing demands on the modern world. This week, Technology Now is joined by Jason Zeiler Principal Product Manager for Next Generation Infrastructure and HPC/AI Liquid Cooling at HPE to find out:• The efficiency benefits of liquid cooling compared to air cooling and why that isn't always enough to convince enterprises to switch• Whether future data centres will be built from first principles around liquid cooling infrastructure• How higher operating temperatures are feeding back into microchip manufacturers' designs for the next generation of chips

AI-agents zijn een gamechanger in de bedrijfswereld. Ze automatiseren hele processen en maken zelfs nieuwe toepassingen mogelijk. Maar helpt AI ook om beter contact te leggen met klanten, of trappen bedrijven in een val? “Alleen voor de meest complexe situaties zal menselijk contact blijven bestaan. Dat zal uitgroeien tot een luxebeleving”, denkt Jeroen Lemaire van het digital agency In The Pocket. Anderzijds zijn er scale-ups die al sterk leunen op AI-agents, maar met de klantendienst als uitzondering. Lizy, een digitaal autoleasebedrijf is er zo een. “Als klanten ons 30.000 euro betalen voor een leasecontract, dan verwachten ze ook een mens te kunnen spreken als er een probleem is” aldus Sam Heymans, de CEO van Lizy. In ‘IT-leider aan het woord' luisteren we naar Geert Lejon, de topman van Cognizant in België en Luxemburg. Hij vertelt hoe zijn bedrijf een nieuw verdienmodel krijgt met de opkomst van vibecoden, ofwel coderen met AI. Cognizant moet de tegenwoordig concurrentie aangaan met OpenAI en Anthropic, die zelf AI-oplossingen integreren bij bedrijven.

Wat als onze kennis, onze kennis niet meer is? AI belooft de wetenschap sneller, slimmer en beter te maken. AI is hier nu al niet meer weg te denken en helpt met het doorgronden van enorme datasets, tot het begrijpen van klimaatverandering. Maar wat als het gebruik van AI de wetenschap fundamenteel verandert? Is het dan nog wel wetenschap? Die lastige vragen stelt Ben Zevenbergen voor zijn onderzoek aan Stanford University. Want als de ontwikkeling van onze kennis straks niet meer binnen onze controle ligt, wat gebeurt er dan? Als onderzoeker en AI-ethicus probeert hij antwoorden te vinden op de gevolgen van technologisering van de wetenschap. De één vindt dat basis principes wetenschappers moeten sturen, maar dat deze wél geherinterpreteerd mogen worden met de tijd. De ander blijft van mening dat wetenschap niet sneller kan en dat de mens alles moet blijven begrijpen. Want dát er kernprincipes in het gedrang komen, dat is duidelijk. Neem alleen al reproduceerbaarheid, dat door continue nieuwe versies van AI-modellen al onmogelijk wordt maakt. Dwingt deze koers ons dan ook de wetenschap te herdefiniëren? Ben van der Burg en Mark Beekhuis gaan het gesprek aan met Ben Zevenbergen over wat wetenschap in de kern is, hoe je dat beschermt en óf de mens de controle wel kan behouden. Is er een ultieme balans te vinden? Je hoort het allemaal in deze nieuwe aflevering van De Technoloog.

De #DCDW podcast wordt gepubliceerd om de online automotive beter te maken. In deze aflevering spreekt host Paul de Vries, oprichter van #DCDW, met Martijn ten Broeke en Arno Hofstede van EV Complete. Tijdens deze podcast gaan we in op de nieuwste ontwikkelingen waarmee Martijn en Arno de automotive verbeteren. EV Complete is een platform dat autobedrijven – van grote dealerholdings tot kleine universele autobedrijven – voorziet van consistente, vergelijkbare en schaalbare data over elektrische voertuigen en plug-in hybrids. Het probleem dat zij oplossen is duidelijk: EV-data is op dit moment versnipperd, inconsistent en niet vergelijkbaar op de verschillende websites en portalen waar auto's worden aangeboden. EV Complete voegt een datalaag toe die ervoor zorgt dat, waar de auto ook getoond wordt, de juiste informatie beschikbaar is voor de consument. De EV-koper is een andere koper dan de traditionele benzine- of dieselrijder. Vragen over laadsnelheden, actieradius, thuis laden, AC- en DC-laden en laadtijden zijn voor deze koper cruciaal. AC-laden staat voor thuisladen of laden bij een openbare laadpaal, terwijl DC-laden het snel laden onderweg betreft, zoals bij Fastned-stations. Ook het verschil tussen één fase en drie fase laden – zowel in de auto als in de meterkast thuis – speelt een belangrijke rol bij de keuze voor een elektrische auto. Daarnaast worden trekgewicht en laadvermogens steeds relevantere filters, zeker nu steeds meer plug-in hybrids ook DC kunnen laden en grotere accu's hebben. EV Complete biedt autobedrijven meerdere modules aan. De eerste en belangrijkste module is de dataverrijking: op basis van het VIN-nummer of kenteken wordt elke auto automatisch voorzien van de juiste en volledige EV-data, ook als de auto nog geen kenteken heeft. Dit voorkomt fouten en bespaart verkopers veel tijd. De tweede module is een vergelijkingstool waarmee de klant online meerdere auto's uit de voorraad van het autobedrijf met elkaar kan vergelijken, inclusief zijn eigen huidige auto. De derde module is het mobiliteitsprofiel, waarbij de klant zijn dagelijkse ritten kan invoeren en het systeem automatisch aangeeft of een bepaalde auto daarvoor geschikt is, hoe vaak er onderweg geladen moet worden en hoe lang dat laden duurt. De vierde module is een kostenvergelijker waarmee de klant de maandelijkse kosten van een elektrische auto kan vergelijken met zijn huidige benzine-, diesel- of hybride auto. Naast deze modules biedt EV Complete ook ondersteuning bij de verkoop van laadpalen en laadpassen. Verkopers kunnen met één druk op de knop een installateur in contact brengen met de klant, zonder dat de verkoper zelf een uitgebreid gesprek over laadpalen hoeft te voeren. Dit houdt de klantreis eenvoudig en zorgt ervoor dat de klant zoveel mogelijk binnen het autobedrijf blijft. EV Complete werkt samen met Broekhuis, een dealer holding met 65 vestigingen in Nederland, als launching customer. Alle vestigingen maken gebruik van de modules van EV Complete, en het volledige verkoopteam wordt getraind in EV-basiskennis. Daarnaast wordt het platform via een API-koppeling aangeboden aan WMS-leveranciers zoals Amy, waardoor ook kleinere autobedrijven eenvoudig toegang krijgen tot de verrijkte data. Voor autobedrijven zonder grote ICT-afdeling is er bovendien een white label oplossing beschikbaar die via een embedded script binnen enkele dagen operationeel kan zijn. Ook de portalen spelen een belangrijke rol in dit verhaal. EV Complete roept portalen op om in gesprek te gaan over het ontsluiten van de juiste EV-data, zodat de consument ook op portalen dezelfde rijke klantreis kan doorlopen als op de website van het autobedrijf zelf. Want als een portaal de cilinderinhoud tot op vier decimalen kan tonen, dan zou het ook de laadsnelheid en het thuislaadvermogen moeten kunnen tonen. De markt bepaalt vervolgens wel of er daadwerkelijk op gefilterd wordt. State of Health van de batterij is volgens Martijn en Arno inmiddels een absolute no-brainer bij de verkoop van gebruikte elektrische auto's. Net zoals bij een traditionele auto de vraag gesteld wordt of de distributieriem vervangen is, is de eerste vraag bij een gebruikte EV wat de gezondheid van de batterij is. In Duitsland is een SOH-rapportage al vrijwel standaard bij de verkoop van gebruikte elektrische auto's, en die ontwikkeling komt ook naar Nederland. Wil je als autobedrijf meer weten over EV Complete en wat het platform voor jouw onderneming kan betekenen? Neem dan contact op via hofstede@evportal.nl of tenbroeke@evportal.nl, of zoek Martijn ten Broeke en Arno Hofstede op via LinkedIn.

Waarom beschermt de NAVO Oekraïne niet tegen Russische drones? | De positie van Israël in de wereld | De kenniskloof tussen de overheid en de markt De NAVO houdt vast aan rode lijnen in Oekraïne en wijst een no-dronezone boven frontsteden af, terwijl Russische drones en raketten burgers blijven treffen. Arend Jan Boekestijn en Rob de Wijk leggen uit waarom luchtverdediging tegen drones steeds goedkoper wordt, maar bescherming tegen ballistische raketten als Iskander afhankelijk blijft van schaarse Patriot-systemen. Ook duiden zij de angst voor directe confrontatie met Rusland en de strategische keuze om Oekraïne vooral op eigen bodem te versterken. Iran dwingt in de Straat van Hormuz een economische wurggreep af met minimale middelen, terwijl de VS en Europese landen militair vastlopen op asymmetrische oorlogsvoering. Boekestijn en De Wijk schetsen hoe Trumps eerdere keuzes de speelruimte beperken en waarom een maritieme coalitie zonder staakt-het-vuren militair onhaalbaar oogt. In dezelfde regio raakt Israël diplomatiek geïsoleerd door aanhoudend geweld tegen Hamas en Hezbollah, groeiende spanningen op de Westoever en een tanende steun in Washington en Europa. De Nederlandse krijgsmacht botst intussen op eigen grenzen door jaren van uitbesteding en aanbestedingsfetisjisme, waardoor cruciale kennis over vastgoed, ICT en wapensystemen is verdampt. De Wijk waarschuwt dat Defensie zonder stevige in‑house expertise geen gelijkwaardige gesprekspartner is voor TNO, industrie en start-ups. [Samenvatting geschreven door AI en gecontroleerd door mens] Over de Podcast Arend Jan Boekestijn en Rob de Wijk gaan onder leiding van Hugo Reitsma op zoek naar de nieuwe wereldorde. Wat betekenen oorlog, machtspolitiek en economische verschuivingen voor Europa en Nederland? In elke aflevering duiken zij in de geopolitieke actualiteit.

In this episode, Brian Icenhower breaks down the full online lead funnel for real estate agents, team leaders, and broker-owners — from the cheapest, lowest-converting social media leads all the way up to the highest-quality Google local service ad leads. Brian is joined by two coaching clients who share how they're putting this framework into practice, including a game-changing way they're using AI to personalize lead follow-up at scale. What You'll Learn: Why online leads should supplement your SOI — never replace it The 4 main categories of online leads and how they differ in quality, cost, and conversion rate Facebook/Instagram lead ads: why 1–2% conversion is actually doing well, and why these skew almost entirely buyer-heavy Google PPC leads: a step up in intent, but still conversion-heavy on follow-up Portal leads (Zillow, Realtor.com, Veterans United): referral fees up to 40%, but conversion rates of 12–20%+ — and why the follow-up call is more customer service than sales Why Veterans United is one of the fastest-growing lead sources ICT clients are using right now Why Google Business Profile is the most underutilized asset in real estate — and why AI search results lean heavily on it How YouTube content, Google reviews, and consistent profile updates directly impact your ranking in both Google and AI-generated results The 90+ pay-per-close referral platforms ICT coaches help clients register on in the first few sessions How two coaching clients are using Read AI + ChatGPT to build fully customized drip follow-up sequences from recorded lead conversations — in minutes Key Takeaways: Speed to lead is non-negotiable. Portal lead sources like Zillow and Veterans United require fast response — if you're not converting, you'll stop receiving leads. 75% of business from Facebook and Google PPC leads comes after 7+ follow-up attempts. Don't cherry-pick. Your Google Business Profile is not optional. Post to it like a social channel, stack it with reviews, and keep it updated — that's what AI is reading. A customized ChatGPT (paid version, real estate-trained) plus an AI note-taker like Read AI can automate personalized follow-up at a level most agents can't achieve manually. Online leads are growing year over year.

How is AI forcing our networks to change? This week, Technology Now is diving into the world of network architecture and asking how AI is forcing us to rethink what it looks like. We ask how AI requirements are different to regular computing, we explore why this makes cacheing obsolete, and we ask how our networks are going to continue changing into the future to cope with the demands of our new AI native world.

Pictured at the launch of the report, "Digital Infrastructure for the Future We Want", were Darren Maher, Managing Partner, Matheson LLP, Jim Power, Amárach Research, Minister of State Timmy Dooley, Michelle Wallace, Interim CEO, Digital Infrastructure Ireland and Maurice Mortell, Chairperson, Digital Infrastructure Ireland. An economic study on the data centre industry has revealed the critical role the centres play in Irish corporate tax windfalls and in the €107.5 billion in taxes paid here by the ICT industry. The study by economist Jim Power and statistician Gerard O Neill from Amárach Research has also sounded a warning bell that the ongoing limitations on the development of datacentres are now posing a considerable risk to Ireland's attractiveness as a location for foreign direct investment. Speaking at the launch of the report, Minister of State at the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment, Timmy Dooley, said: "Ireland's data centre ecosystem is and will continue to be a critical driver of national economic performance, underpinning high?value sectors, foreign direct investment, digital competitiveness, operational resilience, and export growth, while supporting tens of thousands of jobs." Maurice Mortell, Chairperson of Digital Infrastructure Ireland added: "Ireland has a long history of attracting investment and has positioned itself as one of Europe's leading locations for digital infrastructure. Sustaining Ireland's taxes and its role as a leading investment hub requires a National Digital Strategy that integrates digital infrastructure, energy, planning and industrial policy to support long term competitiveness. The Government's announcements must now translate into tangible actions. With a renewed approach, Ireland can lead the next generation in developing sustainable, high performance digital infrastructure – but delivery is essential. The reality is that considerable taxation is paid where IP assets are located and this has been instrumental to the strong growth in corporation tax revenues since 2015. The risk is that if data centres are going to be built in other locations, because they cannot be built in Ireland, the IP assets could follow the data centres, with very negative implications for Irish corporation tax revenues. Ireland is losing business and global companies are moving their investment pipelines elsewhere." The study, "Digital Infrastructure for the Future We Want", says there has been €18 billion in investment from Ireland's data centre ecosystem, spanning across 105 facilities and 35 operators. It finds that the economic significance of data centres is greater than the direct employment they create and the vital element of critical infrastructure that they provide. "Data centres are essential for the Government's AI and digital strategy, the modernisation of the public sector and the indigenous business economy," the report notes. "Ireland has a high dependence on foreign-owned companies in terms of employment, corporation and income tax receipts, and general economic activity. Given this high level of 'concentration risk' there is considerable pressure on Ireland to preserve its status as a good country in which to do business. That is now under considerable pressure," the authors say. The report highlights that a lot of global intellectual property is stored in Ireland and is a major contributor to tax revenues. "Many of the largest corporations in Ireland are in high-tech industries like pharmaceuticals or information technology that rely heavily on IP. Unlike a building or a machine, it is very easy to move Intellectual Property into or out of a country. There is a lot of Intellectual Property held in Ireland.

National real estate company mergers are generating more noise than they probably deserve — and Brian Icenhower is here to cut through it.

In this episode, you'll learn: Why national real estate company mergers are motivated by shareholders — and what that means for agents who feel uncertain right now How the stock market responded to the Real/REMAX deal and what that reaction actually signals Why the "better tech" narrative that always follows these mergers rarely holds up — and why most agents don't use those systems anyway What unique competitive challenges REMAX brokerage owners may now face in markets where Real already has a presence Why cold-calling agents from acquired companies right now is the wrong move — and what you should be doing instead How to recruit through industry disruption if you've been building relationships the right way Why revenue-share company growth works the way it does — and what makes it succeed or fail market by market About Brian Icenhower: Brian Icenhower is a nationally recognized real estate coach, trainer, and founder of Icenhower Coaching & Training (ICT).

Tactical coaching only works when an agent's life is working. When the market slows, when personal problems creep in, when the wheels start coming off — pushing harder on scripts, systems, and contact numbers isn't the answer. In this episode of The Brian Icenhower Podcast, Brian gets real about one of the most overlooked skills in real estate leadership: emotional intelligence. Whether you're a team leader coaching agents through a slow market, a broker owner managing people through personal struggles, or a coach trying to figure out why a high-potential agent just can't seem to execute — this episode gives you the framework to stop pushing and start leading. Brian introduces the Life Balance Wheel, ICT's most powerful diagnostic tool for uncovering what's really going on beneath the surface when an agent's production starts to slip. He also breaks down exactly how to pivot from tactical coaching to life coaching — with permission, with purpose, and without losing the trust you've built. In this episode, Brian covers: Why real estate is fundamentally different from a W2 job — and why that makes emotional intelligence non-negotiable for leaders and coaches The biggest mistake coaches and team leaders make in a slow market: doubling down on tactics when the real problem is personal How to recognize the warning signs that something deeper is going on — and the specific words agents use that signal it's time to pivot The Life Balance Wheel: how to use this diagnostic tool to probe for life problems without overstepping or catching agents off guard The eight areas of the Life Balance Wheel — spirituality, health, work, social, development, recreation, family, and life planning — and how to score and discuss each one How to ask for permission before shifting the coaching conversation, and the exact language Brian uses to make that transition feel natural and safe Why work-life balance is largely a myth in real estate — and what balance and counterbalance actually looks like for high performers The real reason agents dread their coaching calls when they're not performing — and how emotional intelligence transforms that dynamic completely Why a struggling marriage, a health scare, or a political rabbit hole will always show up in production numbers eventually How to help agents develop action items around personal problems — not just business goals — so the foundation stays intact even when the market gets hard The connection between a leader's own emotional intelligence and the depth of trust they can build with the people they lead This episode is essential listening for any team leader, broker owner, or coach who wants to lead people — not just manage numbers.
