Una de las claves más contundentes que dejó Chvedine fue la necesidad de vender cuando un sector se pone "de moda". La reciente décima conferencia de inversores de Cobas AM, celebrada el pasado 24 de marzo, ha servido para reafirmar las bases del modelo de gestión que Iván Chvedine y el equipo liderado por Francisco García Paramés aplican en sus fondos. En una tertulia en el programa "Tu Dinero Nunca Duerme", Chvedine desgranó los pilares que, a su juicio, explican la evolución positiva de sus carteras frente a la volatilidad del entorno macroeconómico. Para Chvedine, la clave de los resultados actuales no reside en fórmulas mágicas, sino en la continuidad humana. "Esto es resultado de un equipo que tenemos, que trabaja prácticamente juntos toda la vida", subrayó. La confianza interna permite al equipo mantener el rumbo incluso en periodos de incertidumbre política o económica (mencionando que los fondos van bien "a pesar de Trump"), evitando las reacciones emocionales que suelen penalizar al inversor particular.Disciplina frente a las modas: defensa e hidrocarburos La gestión del tiempo es, según el analista, el factor diferencial de la gestora. Chvedine reveló que el equipo dedica el 90% de su jornada —o incluso más— exclusivamente a analizar empresas y validar tesis de inversión. Esta dedicación obsesiva al dato fundamental es lo que permite a la gestora "desaparecer" del día a día mediático para centrarse en el valor real. Una de las claves más contundentes que dejó Chvedine fue la necesidad de vender cuando un sector se pone "de moda", aplicando una disciplina férrea incluso en sus apuestas más exitosas. El gestor puso como ejemplo el sector de defensa, mencionando el caso de Avio (compañía de cohetes y misiles), cuya acción pasó de 10 a 40 euros tras ser presentada como tesis en años anteriores: "Hay que vender, no hay que comprar", sentenció, subrayando que lo mismo aplica hoy al petróleo. Con el crudo habiendo escalado de 60 a 110 dólares, la estrategia de Cobas pasa por reducir progresivamente la exposición, bajo la premisa de que "nada que esté de moda es barato". Para el equipo, el éxito reside en comprar cuando nadie quiere el activo y tener la sangre fría de salir cuando el mercado masivo finalmente entra en el sector. De hecho, Chvedine explicó que solo dedican una tarde al año (la de la conferencia anual) a "estar con los partícipes y responder preguntas", priorizando el trabajo de análisis el resto del calendario para maximizar la rentabilidad de quienes confían en ellos. En un contexto de digitalización extrema, Chvedine reivindicó la superioridad del análisis cualitativo humano. Al presentar a la nueva incorporación del equipo, Carla Villarmin, el gestor bromeó señalando que "hace las cosas mejor que la IA". Esta afirmación encierra una clave de inversión fundamental para Cobas: la capacidad de entender contextos complejos, modelos de negocio y equipos directivos, algo que el análisis algorítmico todavía no puede replicar con la misma profundidad. La filosofía de inversión mencionada en la tertulia entronca con la época de "Bestimber", el origen del equipo. Chvedine recalcó que mantienen intacto el rigor en el análisis de tesis que les ha caracterizado durante décadas. La novedad de este año, tras diez años sin cambios en la plantilla de inversión, refuerza la idea de un bloque sólido que busca valor donde otros no miran, basándose en la paciencia y el conocimiento profundo de cada compañía en cartera.
David Boice is a faith-based storyteller and traveler originally from Wausau, Wisconsin, and the creator of the YouTube series 52 Churches in 52 Weeks. What began as a personal search for a spiritual home became a nationwide journey through nearly 200 congregations, documenting not just what churches teach, but how they receive those walking in for the first time. His work offers a unique window into the lived experience of faith, community, and belonging across modern Christianity. Through these road stories, David has developed a thoughtful perspective on the subtle dynamics that shape religious communities—hospitality, fellowship, teaching, and the process by which a stranger becomes an insider. His content blends spiritual curiosity with candid reflection, inviting viewers to engage faith in a more personal and experiential way. In April 2024, David was baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He recently relocated to Utah and is now developing 52 Temples in 52 Weeks, a companion project exploring temple worship, symbolism, and covenant faith. Alongside his content, he has used his platform to support causes such as St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. When he's not traveling or filming, David can usually be found writing, editing, or wrestling with deeper questions—like whether dad jokes qualify as a spiritual gift. Links YouTube @52churchesin52weeks YouTube @52temples Watch the video and share your thoughts in the Zion Lab community Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Highlights David discusses his unique journey of visiting various denominations before joining The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The conversation focuses on the impact of church culture, the power of a welcoming environment, and the lessons Latter-day Saint leaders can learn from the strengths and weaknesses of other faith traditions. 00:03:38 – David’s Background and Spiritual Journey 00:05:51 – Fallout with the Lutheran Church 00:07:45 – The Idea of Visiting 52 Churches 00:10:05 – Documenting the Church Visits 00:12:17 – The Need for Community and Church 00:13:41 – First Visit to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints 00:18:25 – Insights on Church Culture and Leadership 00:21:02 – The Importance of Welcoming Visitors 00:22:04 – Generational Disconnect in Churches 00:25:24 – The Role of Missionaries in Church Culture 00:26:16 – Cleaning Assignments and Ownership 00:30:16 – Communion Practices Across Different Churches 00:32:23 – The Significance of Communion in Worship 00:36:19 – Differences in Communion Timing and Structure 00:40:03 – The Role of Communion in Community and Faith 00:45:09 – Unique Takeaways from Church Visits and Experiences Key Insights Welcoming Environment: David emphasizes the importance of a communal atmosphere in churches. He found that Latter-day Saint congregations were notably more welcoming, with members actively engaging with visitors, which contrasted sharply with his experiences in other churches. Communion Practices: The sacrament in Latter-day Saint services is conducted early in the meeting, which David found refreshing compared to other traditions where communion is often the main event. This practice fosters a sense of community and shared purpose. Involvement and Ownership: David appreciated the opportunities for active participation in the Latter-day Saint community, such as cleaning assignments, which gave him a sense of ownership and responsibility within the ward. Generational Engagement: He noted the generational dynamics in church attendance, observing that many mainline Protestant churches struggle to engage younger generations, while Latter-day Saint congregations maintain a strong sense of family and community. Cultural Differences: David highlighted the differences in how various churches approach worship, including the use of sensory elements in Catholic services versus the more straightforward approach in many Protestant services. Leadership Applications Foster a Welcoming Culture: Latter-day Saint leaders can prioritize creating a welcoming environment by encouraging members to actively greet and engage with newcomers, ensuring that visitors feel valued and included. Encourage Participation: Leaders should provide opportunities for members to take on responsibilities within the ward, fostering a sense of ownership and community involvement that can enhance engagement and commitment. Focus on Community Building: By emphasizing the importance of family and community in church activities, leaders can help bridge generational gaps and create a more inclusive atmosphere that resonates with all members.

"What gets measured gets managed." Every dental consultant has said it. Almost none of them finished the sentence. The researcher who wrote it in 1956 buried a warning in the same paragraph. It explains something most practice owners never see coming. Metrics don't just track performance. They train identity. And if you never decided what your environment should signal, it already decided for you.
I want to talk about a mistake I see far too often — and it's a dangerous one. Starting a nonprofit based on your idea… instead of the community's actual need. If your organization is built around your idea instead of real, validated need, it will struggle to gain traction, trust, and funding. Nonprofits are not built to express our ideas. They are built to respond to real problems. If you're in the early stages or even if you've already started, this conversation will help you step back and ask a critical question: Who is this really for? Because when your work is aligned with actual need, everything changes — from impact to trust to funding.

Nate Amidon: Why Scrum Master Success Means Owning the Entire Idea-to-Deployed Pipeline Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "Success for a Scrum Master is maximizing value of the product through the organization. That's a full stop statement." - Nate Amidon Running a company of contract Scrum Masters gives Nate a unique perspective on what success actually looks like. For him, it comes down to one thing: are you increasing the value of the product through the system? Everything else is either a leading or lagging indicator. Practically, this means starting with the most fundamental question: why does your team exist? Nate suggests asking three team members separately what the team does and who they do it for — and checking whether the answers match. Once you have clarity on purpose, you can work with product and the organization to figure out how to measure whether you're getting closer. But here's where Nate pushes boundaries: he believes a Scrum Master's scope isn't limited to the Scrum team. If success is measured by value flowing through the system, then you have to take ownership of the entire idea-to-deployed pipeline — product prioritization, cross-team dependencies, QA processes, CI/CD, release schedules. You happen to work as a Scrum Master on a team, but your responsibility extends to anywhere value gets stuck. In this episode, we refer to Vasco's OTOG (One Team, One Goal) principle and Nate's previous episode about the brief-execute-debrief cycle. Self-reflection Question: If someone asked three different members of your team what the team exists to do and who they do it for, would the answers match — and have you checked recently? Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Meme Retro Nate's favorite retrospective format might surprise you: the Meme Retro. Give everyone 5-10 minutes to find a meme on the internet that describes the last sprint. Then go around the room, share the meme, and explain why you chose it. It sounds lighthearted — and it is — but that's exactly the point. As Vasco notes, "laughs per minute" is a great metric for retros, because when people are laughing, they can talk about serious issues without defensiveness. The memes give a different angle on what happened during the sprint, surfacing deeper feelings and patterns that traditional formats might miss. It's especially useful when teams are getting fatigued from running the same retro format over and over. [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

What if your best chapter isn't behind you — it's the one you finally have time to write? Michael Fors spent decades in sales, knocked on thousands of doors, and heard more nos than most people ever will. Then he retired. And instead of slowing down, he did what most people only talk about — he acted on an idea he'd been sitting on for years, got a patent, and built something entirely new. In this episode of The BrainVault Podcast, Michael and Larry explore what it actually takes to move from idea to action, why a lifetime of hearing "no" is the best preparation for building something that works, and how the people who create the richest experiences — at the table and in the boardroom — are the ones who know when to slow the pace down.

A lot of founders spend their lives chasing one big idea.Antonio Swad had two.The first? Migrating chicken wings from the Happy Hour buffet to the center of the plate.The second? Building a pizza business that catered to a very specific demographic: Latinos.That first idea became Wingstop, a deep-fried wing concept that grew to 3,000 stores.The second became Pizza Patron, a franchise that rewarded customers for ordering in Spanish, and let them pay in pesos.This is the story of how Antonio got there.He was a kid from Columbus, Ohio, working at a steakhouse straight out of high school…who eventually saw two big opportunities where no one else did.Wingstop was the breakout idea, but just as it was exploding, Antonio made a surprising decision. He sold the company.A $22 million deal.Only…the money did not materialize.What follows is one of the most surprising—and cautionary—tales we've told on this show: a single word buried in a contract that cost millions…and the moment Antonio realized he might never see the money he'd been promised.This episode is about instinct, risk, conviction—and why sometimes…your biggest success can lead to your biggest mistake.What you'll learn:Why simplicity can beat variety in building scalable restaurantsThe power—and peril—of franchising as a growth engineHow identifying an underserved customer segment can unlock explosive growthWhy your hero product isn't always what you think it is (hint: it's not the chicken)How one word in a contract can cost millionsTimestamps:00:09:11 – Fired from bartending for being “too intense”00:14:26 – Starting a pizza shop in Dallas with $11,00000:18:41 – Discovering an underserved customer base, and the power of word-of-mouth00:23:07 – Why franchising can be the ultimate scaling strategy00:24:09 – How Antonio realized wings could be a massive business00:36:37 – A bend in the road: Why the first Wingstop struggled00:50:29 – A bizarre vision at a football game: What if this stadium were full of chickens?01:07:09 – The $22M purchase… the missing $12M, and suing to get his money01:20:09 – Living in the moment post Pizza Patron and WingstopThis episode was produced by Sam Paulson with music by Ramtin Arablouei.

People love talking about ideas. But ideas are cheap. The real difference between people who build things and people who stay stuck is simple: execution. In this Habits & Hustle episode, my foil Shani and I break down why execution always beats ideas, why overthinking keeps people stuck, and how ridiculous products like the Pet Rock and Chia Pet still turned into massive businesses because someone actually launched them. If you've been sitting on an idea, waiting until everything is perfect, or telling yourself you need more time to figure it out, tune in and start executing. What's Discussed (01:29) Idea vs. execution and why great ideas mean nothing without action (03:18) Starting before you have the answers and figuring things out as you go (04:29) “Ridiculous” ideas that made millions like Chia Pet and Pet Rock (07:21) How modern entrepreneurs test ideas using social media and digital ads (08:47) Partnering with people who fill your skill gaps to execute faster (11:50) Creating your own luck by putting yourself where opportunities can happen Thank you to our sponsors: Rho Nutrition: Try Rho Nutrition today and experience the difference of Liposomal Technology.

Send us Fan MailPeaches isn't easing you into this one—because there's no soft way to say it.A F-15 Strike Eagle is down over Iran. CSAR is actively happening. Aircraft are getting hit, crews are ejecting, and this thing just crossed into a very different phase. At the same time, we've got B-52s pushing deeper, electronic warfare platforms spinning up, and Space Force fully integrated into combat ops. This isn't “tension” anymore—this is sustained conflict.Peaches calls it straight: you can't claim air superiority while losing jets, and you definitely can't pretend this is controlled escalation when people are actively getting shot down.Add in AI drones, extended carrier deployments, and SecDef opening up base carry policies—and you start to see the bigger picture: everything is shifting fast.If you're still treating this like background noise… you're missing it.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 No Joke—This Day Got Real Fast 01:30 AI Strike Drones—Yeah, That's Happening 03:00 Army Leadership Shake-Up—What's Behind It? 04:30 11-Month Carrier Deployment—Imagine That 06:00 Fires, Failures & High Ops Tempo 07:15 Marine Readiness Warning—Pay Attention 09:00 OTS—Train for the Reality, Not the Idea 10:00 F-15 Shot Down—CSAR Active 12:00 Aircraft Taking Hits—This Isn't Clean 13:30 B-52s Go Deeper—New Phase of War 15:00 Tankers & Crews Getting Decorated 16:00 Electronic Warfare Expands 17:00 Space Force Is In The Fight 18:15 Micro Testing & Rapid Tech Push 19:30 SecDef Expands Firearm Carry 21:00 Leadership Fix or Paperwork Nightmare? 22:00 Final Thought—This Is Escalation
Putting together the right toolkit can make all the difference when you're out riding—especially on an adventure bike, where help isn't always close by. We talk about how to build an efficient setup, from choosing what actually belongs in your kit to organizing it so it's easy to use when it matters most. The conversation covers how to prepare for unpredictable issues like flat tires, leaks, and bent or broken parts, along with the often-overlooked supplies that can save the day during a roadside or trailside repair. Along the way, Jim talks with Clinton Smout from SMART Performance Centre about building a toolkit around the jobs you're most likely to face, and we're joined by Matthew Kunz from Obsidian Adventure Gear to look at compact, bike-specific tool systems designed to keep you prepared without carrying half the garage.

That idea you had—the one that lit you up? It wasn't random. And it wasn't just for you to think about. It was meant to be acted on. But a lot of times… we don't move. We overthink. We question. We distract ourselves. We wait to feel ready. And then one day… we see someone else doing something similar and think, “Wait… that was mine.” I don't think that's coincidence. I think ideas are meant to be brought to life… and they find someone willing. Today's podcast episode is part one of a conversation we need to have. Not about shame. But about awareness. Because you can't step into what God has for you if you keep ignoring what He's already shown you. Part two drops next… and we're going to talk about what to actually DO with this.

In another first, President Trump is about to be the first Commander in Chief to ever sit inside the Supreme Court to hear oral arguments. Trump will be there today as the court considers whether it's legal for illegal aliens to have babies in the USA and they are automatically citizens. Pop some corn, this will be something. While lower judges are cancelling everything Trump does, he signs yet another executive order. The new order is about verifying and tracking every election ballot in the US Postal Service. In an incredible story, a bunch of lady soccer fans and a columnist stop a new nightclub from opening called Sundown Lounge. They claimed it's racist. That's outrageous enough but get this... the man who had the idea and was set to own the club is black. Oh, brother. Tiger Woods heads to rehab, George Brett goes on national tv to discuss a very important Royals fan who has ALS and what we can do to help. A former female ref is suing the NFL and I"m here for it.... go get 'em! A helicopter lands in Olathe, illegally, with a couple hungry people on board. And Costco has created a smalll controversy with a chocolate Easter bunny.

Starting a business was the last thing on David Royce's mind as a broke college student working a door-to-door sales side hustle. But while working in the unglamorous pest control industry, he discovered that ‘boring' businesses were quietly producing more millionaires than passion-driven or tech ventures. That insight drove him to build and sell multiple pest control companies, ultimately selling them for over a billion dollars in exit valuations. In this episode, David shares why boring, unsexy businesses are the real path to wealth and how to launch, scale, and sell one profitably. In this episode, Hala and David will discuss: (00:00) Introduction (02:32) Key Lessons from Door-to-Door Sales (06:06) Realizing Pest Control Could Scale (10:55) Is Passion Overrated in Entrepreneurship?

Starting from scratch, he scaled the business to $500 million in annual revenue across 34 states and 5,000 cities before a successful exit in 2024. David is a member of YPO (Young Presidents' Organization) and serves as a mentor to aspiring entrepreneurs.

This episode is brought to you by Audible, AX3 and Ancient and Brave. In this deeply philosophical conversation, James Beshara explores the timeless question of who we really are beneath our roles, labels, and ambitions, drawing from Vedanta, psychology, and modern life. Through powerful metaphors like the allegory of the cave and the hero's journey, James challenges the idea that we're defined by our careers, identities, or need to belong—arguing instead that most people are "living in shadows," mistaking societal conditioning for truth. The discussion reveals how our fear of rejection keeps us from authenticity, why true purpose isn't something we find but something we remember, and how fulfillment comes from aligning with our unique capacity to serve others. Ultimately, the episode reframes success, meaning, and personal growth as a process of shedding illusions, embracing truth, and stepping into the life we were always meant to live.
