Named a Best Book of the Year by Kirkus Reviews and a Notable Translated Book of the Year by World Literature Today Winner of the August Prize, the story of the complicated long-distance relationship between a Jewish child and his forlorn Viennese parents after he was sent to Sweden in 1939, and the unexpected friendship the boy developed with the future founder of IKEA, a Nazi activist. And in the Vienna Woods the Trees Remain: The Heartbreaking True Story of a Family Torn Apart by War⁠ (Other Press, 2020). Otto Ullmann, a Jewish boy, was sent from Austria to Sweden right before the outbreak of World War II. Despite the huge Swedish resistance to Jewish refugees, thirteen-year-old Otto was granted permission to enter the country—all in accordance with the Swedish archbishop's secret plan to save Jews on condition that they convert to Christianity. Otto found work at the Kamprad family's farm in the province of Småland and there became close friends with Ingvar Kamprad, who would grow up to be the founder of IKEA. At the same time, however, Ingvar was actively engaged in Nazi organizations and a great supporter of the fascist Per Engdahl. Meanwhile, Otto's parents remained trapped in Vienna, and the last letters he received were sent from Theresienstadt.With thorough research, including personal files initiated by the predecessor to today's Swedish Security Service (SÄPO) and more than 500 letters, Elisabeth Åsbrink illustrates how Swedish society was infused with anti-Semitism, and how families are shattered by war and asylum politics.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Jerry Jones rolled the dice until his knuckles bled. He started working at 7 years old. Jerry could sell, sell, sell. He sold fruit at his father's grocery store in grade school and sold shoes out of the trunk of his car in college. After failing to sell pizza franchises he tried real estate and insurance. He never met a high risk deal he didn't like. Jerry got pitched a deal to drill for oil that everyone else had already said no to. Jerry said yes. That well made $4 million. He hit again on the next 14 wells. Jerry decided to drill for natural gas next. He drills 200 wells. He hit on 199 of them. He sells that company for $175 million. He has $90 million in the bank. He buys the Dallas Cowboys for $140 million. 75 other people had the opportunity to buy the team and said no. He empties his bank account and borrows $50 million at steep interest rates. The year before Jerry bought the team the Cowboys lost $9 million. Financial advisors told Jerry that the Cowboys were ridiculously overpriced and that he was committing financial suicide. Within a few years the team is printing $30 million a year in profit. The Dallas Cowboys are worth $10 billion today. This episode is what I leaned from reading King of the Cowboys: The Life and Times of Jerry Jones by Jim Dent. ----Ramp gives you everything you need to control spend, watch your costs, and optimize your financial operations —all on a single platform.

Ikea is known by customers for its iconic flat-pack furniture, maze-like stores, and delicious meatballs – but when Ingvar Kamprad founded the company in 1943 he also wanted to implement a strong company culture of inclusivity and openness.Today, that same culture is now in the capable hands of global people and culture manager, Ulrika Biesért, who is tasked with taking Kamprad's progressive ideals into the 21st Century.On this week's episode, we discuss how her career as a social worker and family counselor inspired a career in leadership, why she calls employees 'co-workers' regardless of their position, and how Ikea's culture contributes to its overall growth.Credits:Presenter: Éilis CroninProducer: Inga MarsdenArtwork: David Robinson Hosted on Acast.

Amancio Ortega is one of the wealthiest people in the world. Ortega is the founder of Inditex, a pioneer of fast fashion, an entrepreneur with over 60 years of experience, and has created a business model that is studied in universities that he could not access. His life story is inspiring, educational, and full of valuable ideas for future generations of founders. This episode is what I learned from reading This is Amancio Ortega: The Man Who Created Zara by Covadonga O'Shea. ----Ramp gives you everything you need to control spend, watch your costs, and optimize your financial operations —all on a single platform. Make history's greatest entrepreneurs proud by going to Ramp and learning how they can help your business control your costs and save more. ----Join my free email newsletter to get my top 10 highlights from every book----Notes and highlights from the episode: I remembered a comment that Luis Miguel Dominguin made to me years ago, when he was at the peak of his glory and his son, still a child, played in the garden of his house. "This child will never be a bullfighter. To face a bull you have to go hungry.” The important thing is to set goals in life and put all your soul into fulfilling them. I have dreamed of growing the company since I was nobody. We gave it every day. My priority has always been the company, and I have committed myself to it, with full dedication, from day one. Ortega is a man of mission. He is so convinced of what he is and what he has to do. I was convinced that I had to dominate the customer. Ortega starts with the customer and work backwards: “I am going to manufacture what the customer wants.” I met Ortega when Zara did not exist. He only had the factories. In those years when nobody thought about technology within our sector, in which there was almost no computer science or mobile phones, he wanted to have a good team in technology. He built a groundbreaking and avant-garde textile distribution company. Inditex's business is centered around one simple premise – to be quick at responding to the market. Their main advantage: an astonishing ability to detect fashion trends, assimilate them, and make them a reality on the hanger at a bargain price, and all in less than 15 days. Ortega wanted to integrate design and manufacturing first, then complete the chain with distribution and sales in his own stores, turning the customer into his source of privileged information and not just the receiver of a commodity. I refuse to recognize that there are impossibilities. I cannot discover that any one knows enough about anything on this earth definitely to say what is and what is not possible. — Henry Ford There are no mature sectors where everything is already discovered, but rather companies or managers with closed minds who resist innovation. Logistics is a fundamental part of the circle that completes Inditex's vertical integration process. Inventory control in all locations around the world is as important as getting the design right and producing in a short time; that's why Inditex has invested time, effort, and a lot of money in establishing logistics centers with the latest technologies. Traditionally, the seller ensures high margins at the beginning of each season, but endures several months of discounts to get rid of stock; the customer knows, therefore, that in the long run they will get the same items at lower prices. Ortega's company renews its clothes in stores around the world every week and twice weekly in Europe. The buyer knows that they will always find new items, but probably won't be able to get what they tried on seven days ago. In this way, customers understand that if they see something they like, they have to buy it immediately, because in a few days it will no longer be in the store. It's about creating an atmosphere of scarcity and opportunity. Ortega has created a business model that is studied in universities to which he could not access. I consider myself a worker who is immensely fortunate to have done what he wanted in life and to continue doing it. It's the most beautiful company in the world. I want a company with a soul. Ortega stayed focused on his one great objective: To enable the entire world to dress well. Ortega refuses to settle halfway to excellence. He is a man with a lot of personal charm because he is not false. He does not have ulterior motives. He can be very tough, impulsive, very sure of himself, but very truthful. Ortega does not like to lead sitting in a chair. He has never liked praise. More than once I've told him: 'What a beautiful collection, how happy the customers are!', and he always interrupts me and asks me: 'Now tell me what's wrong.” When asked on his advice for future generations of entrepreneurs: “The first thing is that you like what you are doing, that you are passionate about your work. I insist on this idea because it is very important. It has to be something that you would almost pay to do.” Simplicity is the heritage of geniuses.  ----“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.

Folge 3/4: Ingvar Kamprad muss seine schwerste Prüfung meistern und sich seiner eigenen Vergangenheit stellen. Er hatte als junger Mann die schwedischen Nationalsozialisten unterstützt, ein Skandal, der ihn sein Lebenswerk kosten könnte. Doch er geht einen unkonventionellen Weg und entschuldigt sich mit einem handgeschriebenen Brief - mit Erfolg. Nach ausgestandener Krise expandiert Ikea nach China und Russland. Kamprad erfindet den Ikea-Hotdog und sitzt fester im Sattel als je zuvor. Doch er wird immer älter und seine Kontrollsucht könnte bald zum Ballast für Ikea werden. Als Nachfolger stehen seine drei Söhne bereit, aber Kamprad muss erst lernen, Verantwortung abzugeben und seinen Söhnen zu vertrauen - sonst könnte es zu spät sein.+++ Alle Rabattcodes und Infos zu unseren Werbepartnern findest du hier: http://amex.de/deine-platinum +++Unsere allgemeinen Datenschutzrichtlinien finden Sie unter https://art19.com/privacy.

Get access to Founders Notes here. ----Join my free email newsletter to get my top 10 highlights from every book----Notes and highlights from the episode: Ingvar works on IKEA from the time he is 17 until he dies at 91.The Testament of a Furniture Dealer by Ingvar Kamprad (1976) is a sermon on the culture of IKEA  IKEA's common goal: We have decided once and for all to side with the many. IKEA will offer a wide range of well-designed furniture at prices so low that as many people as possible will be able to afford them.Billy Durant (founder of General Motors) describing Henry Ford's one single idea: Durant noted that Ford “was in favor of keeping prices down to the lowest possible point, giving to the multitude the benefit of cheap transportation.” — Billy Durant: Creator of General Motors by Lawrence Gustin Something Ingvar repeats: We will do it a different way.This will not be easy. We must demand much from ourselves.IKEA must have low prices. Ingvar's dedication to that idea is total. Without low costs we can never accomplish our purpose. The principle can never be compromised: Our policy of serving the many can never be changed.If you are not enthusiastic about your job, one-third of your life goes to waste.Wasting resources is a mortal sin at IKEA.Expensive solutions to any kind of problem are usually the work of mediocrity.Planning is often synonymous with bureaucracy. Exaggerated planning is the most common cause of corporate death.Simple routines have a greater impact. Simplicity in our behavior gives us strength.No reports. No committees. Just done. — Elon in the early days of SpaceX Liftoff: Elon Musk and the Desperate Early Days That Launched SpaceX by Eric Berger. (Founders #369) We dare to do things differently.You had to remember he'd been picking up the best ideas from all around the country. — Copy This!: How I turned Dyslexia, ADHD, and 100 square feet into a company called Kinkos by Paul Orfalea. (Founders #181) Concentration is important to our success. The general who divides his resources will invariably be defeated.We can never do everything, everywhere, all at the same time.We must concentrate for maximum impact, often with small means.Concentration means that at certain vital stages we are forced to neglect otherwise important aspects.Constant meetings and group discussions are often the result of unwillingness or inability on the part of the person in charge to make decisions.Only those who are asleep make no mistakes. Making mistakes is the privilege of the active.The fear of making mistakes is the root of bureaucracy and the enemy of development.It is always the mediocre people who are negative, who spend their time proving that they were not wrong. The strong person is always positive and looks forward.Happiness is not reaching your goal. Happiness is being on the way. It is our wonderful fate to be just at the beginning (He said this when he was already 33 years into running his company!)Bear in mind that time is your most important resource. You can do so much in ten minutes. Ten minutes, once gone, are gone for good. You can never get them back. Divide your life into ten-minute units and sacrifice as few of them as possible in meaningless activity.Let us continue to be a group of positive fanatics who stubbornly and persistently refuse to accept the impossible.Ingvar's family had to rent out all the rooms in their house to strangers to make ends meet.Selling things became an obsession. Trading was in my blood.By 1997 IKEA had mailed out over 100 million catalogs.Ingvar was the first person in the furniture industry to combine a mail order catalog and a furniture store.Cost awareness was to be IKEA's anthem.Ingvar's greatest regret was working so much that he missed out on seeing his 3 son's grow up: Childhood does not allow itself to be reconquered.I have not been able to avoid severe losses. Both fiascoes and triumphs have marked the history of the business.Ingvar would rather his employees make mistakes than be idle.The wave Ingvar rode: Sweden's housing construction boom. More than 1 million new apartments were built after the war. All of them needed well designed, affordable furniture. The way IKEA was described by its competitors: A monster with seven heads: “If you cut off one, another soon grows.”A golden rule of IKEA: Regard every problem as a possibility. The boycott by the National Association of Furniture Dealers was the best thing that ever happened to IKEA. It forced IKEA down a path of product differentiation and helped them stumble upon the idea of flat packing and self assembled furniture.The laws of IKEA since birth:  -A good cash reserve must always be ensured.-All property must be owned.-All expansion is to be largely self-financed.-There shall be no boasting.We push cost awareness at all levels with almost manic frenzy.Ingvar believes in the ability to wait out difficulties.Ingvar believes in gathering unfiltered intel from the front lines. He makes unannounced store visits and spends time talking to the employees unloading furniture and helping customers.The day he is free of IKEA life for him will no longer be worth living. He loves it, aways wants to lie as close as possible to it, and never tires of improving it.A demon in me says I have so much to do. I am never satisfied. Something tells me what I'm doing at the moment has to be done better tomorrow.Behind this multinational tycoon is a country boy with a fierce sense of being an underdog.He has a peasants distrust of a favorable destiny that keeps his feet on the ground.----“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.

Ikea ist nicht nur das größte Möbelhaus der Welt. In der neuen Staffel blicken wir hinter die blau-gelbe Fassade und tauchen ab in die Geschichte von Ikea. In der ersten Folge sind wir dabei, wie der 17-jährige Ingvar Kamprad vom Bauernhof seiner Eltern aus einen kleinen Versandhandel für Möbel gründet. Nach vielen Versuchen, Erfolgen und Misserfolgen sowie Anfeindungen des traditionellen Möbelhandels findet er nach und nach die Ikea-Formel: günstige Möbel in flachen Paketen zum Selbstaufbauen in Möbelhäusern mit Selbstbedienung, Gastronomie und Kinderbetreuung. Das heutige Ikea ist geboren - und Kamprad will mit seinem Konzept die Welt erobern.+++ Alle Rabattcodes und Infos zu unseren Werbepartnern findest du hier: https://linktr.ee/kampfderunternehmen +++Unsere allgemeinen Datenschutzrichtlinien finden Sie unter https://art19.com/privacy.

Das schwedische Möbelhaus Ikea hat am 6. September 1973 ihre Filiale in Spreitenbach im Aargau eröffnet – und damit neue Wege beschritten. Es war die erste Filiale ausserhalb Skandinaviens. Ikea-Gründer Ingvar Kamprad wollte anhand der Schweiz testen, ob sein Konzept weltweit Erfolg haben könnte.

In this episode, Jessica Anderen, CEO of the IKEA Foundation, provides an in-depth look at the Foundation's commitment to addressing the most pressing global challenges, particularly poverty and climate change. She reflects on her journey within the IKEA ecosystem, from her extensive background in the corporate world to her current leadership role at the Foundation, highlighting the continuity in values that has driven her work over the years. The IKEA Foundation, established by IKEA's founder Ingvar Kamprad 15 years ago, has evolved from a small organization into a significant philanthropic entity, now distributing around 400 million euros annually. The Foundation focuses on sustainable livelihoods and environmental protection, recognizing the intrinsic link between climate change and poverty. The organization's mission is aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and its strategy is built on a foundation of strong values and a commitment to creating lasting systemic change. Jessica emphasizes the importance of being on the ground and listening to the people directly affected by these global challenges. Her global experience, having lived and worked in various regions such as China, Bangladesh, and India, has given her unique insights into the local impacts of climate change and poverty. This perspective informs the Foundation's approach, which prioritizes partnerships with local organizations that are deeply embedded in their communities and capable of driving sustainable change. A key aspect of the IKEA Foundation's work is in the energy sector, particularly in accelerating the shift to renewable energy. Jessica shares an inspiring example from their partnership with the SELCO Foundation in India, which aims to provide sustainable solar energy solutions to healthcare facilities, significantly improving access to care for millions of people.

Sedan millennieskiftet har Sveriges befolkning förändrats i grunden. IKEA är mitt uppe i en studie där de besöker människor med ursprung utanför Sverige för att se hur det nya folkhemmet ser ut. Linda Vikström Nielsen är kommunikationschef för IKEA i Sverige och idag besöker hon Kommunikationspodden för att prata om projektet. - De många människorna i Sverige har förändrats väldigt mycket de senaste åren och vi kände att vi har inte riktigt koll. För att förstå livet hemma har vi besökt olika hem under 50 år och ställt frågor. Som vad har ni för drömmar med ert hem, vad bråkar ni om, vad behöver ni i tvättstugan och så vidare. Därför jobbar vi utifrån ”de många folkhemmen” där vi är ute i Sverige och möter människor som inte har någon stark relation till IKEA eller som kanske inte ens känner till IKEA, säger Linda Vikström Nielsen. Lyssna på hela berättelsen, och om hur det var när Linda träffade Ingvar Kamprad för första gången.

(Substitute any founder covered on the podcast and you'll get a comprehensive and easy to read summary of their ideas) How did Edwin Land find new employees to hire? Any unusual sources to find talent?What are some strategies that Cornelius Vanderbilt used against his competitors?Get access to Founders Notes here. ----Episode Outline: Whatever is there, he makes it work.Spielberg once defined his approach to filmmaking by declaring, "I am the audience.""He said, 'I want to be a director.' And I said, 'Well, if you want to be a director, you've gotta start at the bottom, you gotta be a gofer and work your way up.' He said, 'No, Dad. The first picture I do, I'm going to be a director.' And he was. That blew my mind. That takes guts."One of his boyhood friends recalls Spielberg saying "he could envision himself going to the Academy Awards and accepting an Oscar and thanking the Academy.” He was twelve.He was disappointed in the world, so he built one of his own.Spielberg remained essentially an autodidact. Spielberg followed his own eccentric path to a professional directing career. Universal Studios, in effect, was Spielberg's film school. Giving him an education that, paradoxically, was both more personal and more conventional than he would have received in an academic environment. Spielberg devised what amounted to his own private tutorial program at Universal, immersing himself in the aspects of filmmaking he found most crucial to his development.At the time he came to Hollywood, generations of nepotism had made the studios terminally inbred and unwelcoming to newcomers. The studio system, long under siege from television, falling box-office receipts, and skyrocketing costs, was in a state of impending collapse.When Steven was very discouraged trying to sell a script and break in, he always had a positive, forward motion, whatever he may have been suffering inside.In the two decades since Star Wars and Close Encounters were released, science-fiction films have accounted for half of the top twenty box-office hits. But before George Lucas and Spielberg revived the genre there was no real appetite at the studios for science fiction. The conventional wisdom was science-fiction films never make money.Your children love you. They want to play with you. How long do you think that lasts? We have a few special years with our children, when they're the ones who want us around. So fast, it's a few years, then it's over. You are not being careful. And you are missing it.----Get access to the World's Most Valuable Notebook for Founders at Founders Notes.com----“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.

Uppväxten i Älmhult var lugn och trygg och det hela lutade åt en ganska vanligt Svensson liv, men det skulle visa sig bli nåt helt annat. I ett ganska kringflackande liv kantat av misshandel, droger, hemlöshet och psykisk ohälsa, så hamnade hon till slut i Stockholm. Nu jobbar hon med kvinnors rättigheter, engagerar sig i hemlösa, går på röda mattor, tränar med kändiseliten och målar tavlor som pryder bl.a Chanel i Stockholm. Varför köpte hon en frisörsalong? Vem är egentligen Simon? Och hur ser hon på skönhetsoperationer? Detta och väldigt mycket mer kommer här, men först -

Allt fragmentiseras och samhället blir alltmer individualistiskt. Vad betyder det för ekonomin, människor, företagen och samhället? Och varför är Ingvar Kamprad en förebild än idag? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What I learned from reading Paul Graham's essays.This episode is brought to you by: Tiny: The easiest way to sell your business. Quick and straightforward exits for Founders. Fable: Make your product accessible to more people. Tegus is a search engine for business knowledge that's used by Founders, investors, and executives. Subscribe to listen to Founders Daily (my new daily podcast)[4:01] You don't want to start a startup to do something that everyone agrees is a good idea, or there will already be other companies doing it. You have but that you know isn't to do something that sounds to most other people like a bad idea.[5:20] The independent-minded are often unaware how different their ideas are from conventional ones, at least till they state them publicly.[6:20] Founders find themselves able to speak more freely with founders of other companies than with their own employees.[7:40] There are intellectual fashions too, and you definitely don't want to participate in those. Because unfashionable ideas are disproportionately likely to lead somewhere interesting. The best place to find undiscovered ideas is where no one else is looking.[8:30] How much does the work you're currently doing engage your curiosity? If the answer is "not much," maybe you should change something.[9:00] How To Think For Yourself by Paul Graham[9:00] How To Work Hard by Paul Graham[10:00] Hackers and Painters by Paul Graham[11:00] Paul on Twitter: "Maybe better founders could have..." Presumably Patrick knows what he means by that, but in case it's not clear, he's describing the empty set. If Patrick and John Collison had to work long hours to build something great, you will too. Link to tweet[13:00] Less is more but you have to do more to get to less. — Rick Rubin: In the Studio by Jake Brown. (Founders #245)[13:00] If great talent and great drive are both rare, then people with both are rare squared.[14:30] Can't Hurt Me by David Goggins[15:30] Aliens, Jedis, & Cults[16:30] How To Do What You Love by Paul Graham[19:00] Fear's a powerful thing. I mean it's got a lot of firepower. If you can figure out a way to wrestle that fear to push you from behind rather than to stand in front of you, that's very powerful. I always felt that I had to work harder than the next guy, just to do as well as the next guy. And to do better than the next guy, I had to just kill.And you know, to a certain extent, that's still with me in how I work, you know, I just go in. —Jimmy Iovine[20:00] Many problems have a hard core at the center, surrounded by easier stuff at the edges. Working hard means aiming toward the center to the extent you can. Some days you may not be able to; some days you'll only be able to work on the easier, peripheral stuff. But you should always be aiming as close to the center as you can without stalling.[22:00] Find work that feels like play. —The Almanack of Naval Ravikant: A Guide to Wealth and Happiness by Naval Ravikant and Eric Jorgenson. (Founders #191)[23:00] A deep interest in a topic makes people work harder than any amount of discipline can.[23:00] Mozart: A Life by Paul Johnson. (Founders #240)[25:00] Working hard is not just a dial you turn up to 11. It's a complicated, dynamic system that has to be tuned just right at each point. You have to understand the shape of real work, see clearly what kind you're best suited for, aim as close to the true core of it as you can, accurately judge at each moment both what you're capable of and how you're doing, and put in as many hours each day as you can without harming the quality of the result. This network is too complicated to trick. But if you're consistently honest and clearsighted, it will automatically assume an optimal shape, and you'll be productive in a way few people are.[26:00] How to Lose Time and Money by Paul Graham[30:00] Schlep Blindness by Paul Graham[31:00] A company is defined by the schleps it will undertake. And schleps should be dealt with the same way you'd deal with a cold swimming pool: just jump in. Which is not to say you should seek out unpleasant work per se, but that you should never shrink from it if it's on the path to something great.[33:00] What I've Learned From Users by Paul Graham[34:00] The first thing that came to mind was that most startups have the same problems. No two have exactly the same problems, but it's surprising how much the problems remain the same, regardless of what they're making. Once you've advised 100 startups all doing different things, you rarely encounter problems you haven't seen before.[34:00] Today I talked to a startup doing so well that they had no current problems that needed solving. Profitable, growing ~20x a year (not a typo), only 9 employees. This is so rare that I didn't know what to do. We ended up talking about problems they might have in the future.I advised them never to raise another round, so to get equity you're going to have to get hired there. So learn to program. Link to tweet[35:00] But knowing (nearly) all the problems startups can encounter doesn't mean that advising them can be automated, or reduced to a formula.[37:00] It's not about pop culture, and it's not about fooling people, and it's not about convincing people that they want something they don't. We figure out what we want.And I think we're pretty good at having the right discipline to think through whether a lot of other people are going to want it, too. —Steve Jobs[39:00] That was another big surprise: how often founders don't listen to us.[39:00] Damn Right: Behind the Scenes with Berkshire Hathaway Billionaire Charlie Munger by Janet Lowe. (Founders #221)[40:00] The reason startups are so counterintuitive is that they're so different from most people's other experiences. No one knows what it's like except those who've done it.[42:00] Speed defines startups. Focus enables speed. YC improves focus.[42:00] Alexander combined an excessive tolerance of fatigue with an intolerence for slowness. Alexander the Great: The Brief Life and Towering Exploits of History's Greatest Conqueror--As Told By His Original Biographers (Founders #232)[43:00] However good you are, good colleagues make you better. Indeed, very ambitious people probably need colleagues more than anyone else, because they're so starved for them in everyday life.[45:00] Leading By Design: The Ikea Story (Founders #104)I use Readwise to organize and remember everything I read.

[Excuses voor de audio] Voor het afronden van zijn studie ontving Ingvar Kamprad op 17-jarige leeftijd een gift van zijn vader, die hij gebruikte om in 1943 IKEA op te richten. In 1994 werd bekend dat de jonge Kamprad vanaf 1942 lid was geweest van de Zweedse nazibewegingen Nysvenska Rörelsen (NSR) en Svensk Socialistisk Samling (SSS). In 2018, inmiddels stokoud, stierf hij. Maar goed, genoeg geschiedenis. Over naar het Nederland van 2022. 21 oktober 2022 om precies te zijn. Op de studio van Matthijs Immink Fotografie worden de laatste voorbereidingen getroffen voor een nieuwe aflevering van de populaire nieuws-podcast die hij maakt voor het youtube-kanaal van het immer recalcitrante Geenstijl. Nou ja, een boel om aan te denken, zou je denken, en zo gebeurt het dat Immink, normaal niet iemand die enige fout toestaat in zijn dagelijkse praktijk, vergeet zijn eigen microfoon aan te zetten. De ruimte ontbeert een moderne koelkast, dus ook de Communistische Partij China (芙蓉鸡) heeft geen back-up-opname die we kunnen lenen. Nou ja, dan weet u waar u naar luistert.

What I learned from reading Showboat: The Life of Kobe Bryant by Roland Lazenby.  Support Founders' sponsors: Tiny: The easiest way to sell your business. Quick and straightforward exits for Founders. andCapital: Raise, hold, and spend capital all in one place. and Tegus is a search engine for business knowledge that's used by founders, investors, and executives. Try it for free by visiting Tegus.[9:15] Notes from The Redeem Team documentary:30 seconds into the first practice Kobe is diving for loose balls. That set the tone.Players go clubbing. Come back at 5:30am and see Kobe working out. "This motherfucker Kobe was already drenched in sweat. Yeah he's different"— LeBron James. By the end of the week the whole team was on Kobe's schedule.Understand the responsibility. I know I'm not going to fucking lose. I am not going to fucking lose. Not when I'm wearing this (team USA jersey) and not at this time in my career. You're going to have to fucking shoot me. That's how I want you to play. — Coach KAt one point you will have a grandkid on your lap and they will ask you weren't you in the Olympics ? What did you do? You wanna say: Well son, we lost to that fucking Greek team? —Coach KWhen you're in the Olympic village you're around people who are the best in the world at what they do. That is more special that celebrities in LA because this is athlete to athlete — I understand what they put their body through to get here. There's so much respect and mutual admiration. —KobeWhat Kobe told team USA going into the 4th quarter: Just think about the play in front of you.[12:07] At every turn his declarations of future greatness have been met with head shaking and raised eyebrows.[14:33]  It's almost like Kobe's insane level of dedication was like compensation for the bad decision making of his father.[15:15] 4 parts to Kobe's blueprint:Master the fundamentalsImprove your weaknessesStudy the greatsConcentrate[15:12] Listening to Founders is like watching game tape of history's greatest entrepreneurs.[15:40] I used to watch their moves and then I'd add them to my game. It was the beginning of a career-long focus on studying game recordings.[15:48] He would invest long hours each day in breaking down his own performances and those of opponents— far more than what any other NBA player would ever contemplate undertaking.[17:08] Jay Z' autobiography: Decoded by Jay Z.  (Founders #238)[21:22] If you're not good, Jeff will chew you up and spit you out. And if you're good, he will jump on your back and ride you into the ground. —The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon by Brad Stone. (Founders #179)[21:58] If you're breaking down tape of Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan and so many other greats, you come to consider them your teachers.[22:39] Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of Nike by Phil Knight. (Founders #186)[23:00] Jordan and Knight certainly shared a competitive nature that bordered on insanity, Moore added. "If you think Jordan and Kobe are competitive, go meet Phil Knight. He's a no bullshit competitor. It's, 'You play for me or I can't stand you, I will kill you.' That's Phil Knight, full stop. And he's not shy about it.”[29:30]  He studied the game harder than anyone else has ever studied the game.[30:00] One day just before practice, the team was informed that it couldn't have the gym due to flooding.“This is bullshit!” he screamed, slamming a ball off the floor. “This is bullshit! We got practice, I want to practice. This is ridiculous!" (He was in high school)[31:10] Kobe had a closet at home filled with critical research. It held all these VHS tapes of Michael's games. [32:00] Kobe on Michael Jordan: What you get from me— is from him. I don't get five championships without him because he guided me so much and gave me so much great advice.[32:22] Sol Price: Retail Revolutionary & Social Innovator by Robert E. Price. (Founders #107)[35:22] Bryant's workout had been so impressive that for Jerry West, it had revealed his heart. It was there in the skill set alone, in some ways, just the amount of work that a player would have to have done to possess such immaculate moves, the footwork and fakes and execution, the hours that must have been put into that kind of perfection.[37:55] Part of his strategy for keeping his disappointment at bay was to focus on others who had faced far more difficult circumstances. "I read the autobiography of Jackie Robinson," Bryant said. “I was thinking about all the hard times I'd go through this year, and that it'd never compare to what he went through. That just kind of helped put things in perspective."[38:50] Kobe's favorite book was Enders Game by Orson Scott Card. [39:00] The only way he could keep the whole dream going was to work harder and harder and harder, to spin his fantasies around and around until they wrapped him tight in a new reality.[39:45] Estée Lauder: A Success Storyby Estée Lauder. (Founders #217)[41:00] I think that game was vital to how good he became. That level of embarrassment to happen to somebody like him? The next year he came out like a fucking maniac.[41:15] Leading By Design: The Ikea Story by Bertil Torekull. (Founders #104)[46:03] Michael Jordan: The Life by Roland Lazenby. (Founders #212)[47:00] The best book on the emotional toll entrepreneurs experience:  Against The Odds: An Autobiography by James Dyson (Founders #200)[54:15] Highly competitive personalities like Jordan and Bryant could absolutely kill a team atmosphere with displays of ruthlessness or selfishness.[55:22] He stands up, points around the room and says, You motherfuckers don't belong in the same court with me.You're all shit. And he walked out of the locker room.[56:07] 4 ideas from Kobe:Search for your limitsExtreme personal practiceResourcefullness—find a way.Study the greats[57:39] He was one of the rare few who simply cared far more about the game than anyone else.[1:02:24] The Mamba Mentality: How I Play by Kobe Bryant [1:02:53] Why Warren Buffett reads annual reports brought to you by Tegus[1:09:03] Steve Jobs on why marketing is about values brought to you by Capital[1:13:36] Warren Buffett masterclass on how to differentiate your product brought to you by Tiny—“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.

Career Changes, Part 10. Why take Chances? Comfort Zone? I was and still am an introvert when I choose to be. May not make sense but generally, I am quiet. I observe, watch and listen. I like to write about what I see and feel. I like to take ideas to the next level and beyond. Much like a prototype car you see or a fashion show. Outrageous ideas, crazy stupid ideas. I was taught this in Industrial Design and I love it. Take ideas way out there, out in the future. This goes for planning a house, a plan for a business and seeing where you may end up. Go way, way out, then come back as far as you need to but take the trip. This gives you the chance to brainstorm and see where the mindset of others is at. Play well with others. Don't give in. Being on a team is an important part of anyone's career. Yet one cannot always give in. Every team needs a captain. But most importantly, no business will succeed if you try to be a one-man micromanaging boss or person. Good business owners will hire staff to complement their weaknesses. We generally know our strengths and you know yours. Sales, presentations, photoshop, CAD, writing, accounting and so on. Unfortunately, many intelligent people may not speak up because they are scared, afraid of being shot down. Don't be, be humble about it but have your say. Do not be pushed down, pushed aside, have your say. Change Careers. This blog ended up much longer than I thought it would be. I guess I had more to say than I thought I would. The point of this is that I am not a lifestyle coach, a motivational speaker, though I may like that... Next career, maybe... Life throws so much at us and sometimes you need to take a backseat and observe. During your observation, you will learn to see, learn to listen. You will be amazed at what you will learn. You will be amazed at what new topics interest you and how your skills can be used for other industries. Ask why? Why? I was given a tour of a furniture factory in Poland. We were there for a meeting and spent a week at what I called IKEA Idol. A competition to make a full-size sofa as flat as possible. This factory was amazing and during our time there we were surrounded by designers and manufacturers. The competition basically became co-workers during this workshop. Yet the company did so many things differently than us, even though the end product was the same. It was a great learning experience. During the tour, we asked ourselves "why" a thousand times. Some processes were redundant to us. Others were innovative and smart. We thought we knew it all and we didn't. In the end, we won the competition and if you see the fold-down neatly packaged Ektorp sofa, well that was a Zsemba design. We didn't get the credit, yet the presenter/designer who claimed he designed it got a standing ovation from Ingvar Kamprad, the founder of IKEA. I guess that hurt… Sometimes life sucks... Our company closed and at that time I thought my world was over. Yet my life had just begun and took me on this amazing journey to selling/marketing villas in Bali. Don't be afraid of the future, take chances be brave, be bold and have fun. #career #job #jobs #jobsearch #education #business #success #hiring #work #motivation #careergoals #recruitment #love #employment #careers #careerdevelopment #resume #college #goals #students #marketing #bali #balilife #balivillas #training #careeradvice #nowhiring #careercoach #entrepreneur #interview #student #leadership #recruiting #bhfyp #london #newyork #paris #europe career, job, jobs, job search, education, business, success, hiring, work, motivation, career goals recruitment, love, employment, careers, career development, resume, college, goals, students, training, career advice, now hiring, career coach, entrepreneur, interview, student, leadership, recruiting, Bali, Bali life, Bali villas, --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/zsolt-zsemba/message

Per Engdahl (1909-1994) var aktiv fascist redan 1920-talet och kom efter andra världskriget att spela en central roll i omvandlandet av nationell högerextremism till en internationell rörelse. Han var också nära vän med Ikeagrundaren Ingvar KampradPer Engdahl grundande den fascistiska Nysvenska rörelsen, som aldrig blev någon massrörelse i Sverige. Han levde ända fram till 1994 och hann med att umgås med ledande nazister i Hitlertyskland, hjälpa nazister att fly till Sydamerika samt att omorganisera den europeiska högerextrema rörelsen efter andra världskriget.I maj 1951 organiserade han en europeisk högerextrem konferens i Malmö där han förenade både nazister och fascister i samma rörelse. Per Engdahl blev också chef för rörelsens internationella förbindelsekontor i Malmö. Han fortsatte att umgås flitigt med ledande personer i Tredje riket efter kriget och besökte på 1960-talet Francos Spanien.Nysvenska rörelsen blev under 1960-talet helt marginaliserade. Men ledande figurer i rörelsen var med och grundade den främlingsfientliga organisationen Bevara Sverige svenskt. Därmed blev Per Engdahl en viktig länk mellan fascismen och nazismen under andra världskriget till nutida främlingsfientliga rörelser som Bevara Sverige Svenskt som i sin tur blev grunden till dagens Sverigedemokraterna.IKEA-grundaren Ingvar Kamprad vägrade att ta avstånd från sin fascistiska vän. Kamprad bidrog också med pengar till rörelsen och gav ut Per Engdahls bok ”Politisk allmänbildning”. När Ingvar Kamprad gifte sig första gången 1950 var Per Engdahl inte bara inbjuden utan också ombedd att hålla tal.I reprisen av reprisen av det nymixade avsnitt 32 av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledare Urban Lindstedt med Elisabeth Åsbrink som är journalist och författare.

Tap into eons of knowledge and experiences, condensed into digestible portions. Highly, highly recommend. “Uniquely outstanding. No fluff and all substance. David does an outstanding job summarizing these biographies and hones in on the elements that make his subjects so unique among entrepreneurs. I particularly enjoy that he focuses on both the founder's positive and negative characteristics as a way of highlighting things to mimic and avoid.”“I just paid for my first premium podcast subscription for Founders podcast. Learning from those who came before us is one of the highest value ways to invest time.

David's focus is rightfully not on teaching you a formula to succeed but on constantly pushing you to think different.”“I highly highly recommend this podcast. Holy cow. I've been binge listening to these and you start to see patterns across all these incredible humans.”Listening to your podcast has changed my life and that is not a statement I make often.“After one episode I quickly joined the Misfit feed.

Fashion has always been an important part of Kerry's life. She left her corporate sales job to pursue a career she loves. And, yes, she has always loved clothes! Personal styling felt like the perfect fit. Kerry Cordero is on a mission to show people, one beautiful outfit at a time, how to dress with purpose and live a life of intention and dreaming. We discuss the importance of not saving your best pieces and explore how ADHD is a secret superpower when it comes to design. And, of course, there's nothing bad about being a rebel. All you need to do is rebel well. ✨ Kerry's LinksWebsite: https://styleandselfexpression.com/ (styleandselfexpression.com) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/firstlookimage_/ (@firstlookimage_) Inspirationhttps://www.foliosociety.com/uk/the-velveteen-rabbit.html (The Velveteen Rabbit) by Margery Williams. This is Kerry's favourite childhood book. “It's about becoming real and how you kind of have to live your life and get a little dirty”. Entrepreneurship & ADHDA number of famous entrepreneurs also happen to have ADHD. People like business mogul Sir Richard Branson, IKEA founder Ingvar Kamprad and JetBlue founder David Neeleman. So Kerry, as an ADHDer, is in excellent company. Did you know that people with ADHD are three times more likely to own their own business? Entrepreneurship fits perfectly with the ADHDer's need for stimulation and willingness to take risks. The design world can learn a lot from ADHD too. You could even say ADHD is a design superpower. After all, with their naturally low tolerance for unclear, overcomplicated design, ADHDers can offer valuable insight. Even a streamlined brand like Apple could learn some lessons. Kerry was not impressed with the Apple Podcasts app for a start. Style NotesRebel well. Even as a 7-year-old, Kerry knew she did not want to wear those yellow gauchos her mother was insisting on. Gauchos became fashionable in the late 1960s. They are wide, calf-length trousers, frequently made of leather and copied from a style worn by South American cowboys. Don't save your best for never. If you have a fabulous piece of heirloom jewellery you love, dig it out of hiding and wear it. Wear what you love. Find a way to be personally expressive with your style. As Kerry says, “Personal style is about making a choice. And you can always do something to choose to wear what you love.” Be irresistible. Be fascinating. And, of course, rebel well.

Talsverð umræða hefur verið um það undanfarin misseri að stytta vinnuvikuna hér á landi. Leiksskólar Félagsstofnunar stúdenta ætla að stytta vinnuvikuna um 5 stundir frá og með morgundeginum. Þjónusta við foreldra verður ekki skert né laun starfsfólks. Sigrí Bara fjárfest í betra lífi og sú fjárfesting skilar sér til baka í minni starfsmannaveltu og fjarvistum og auðvitað ánægðari starfsmönnum. Markmiðið er að stuðla að auknu jafnvægi á milli atvinnu og einkalífs starfsfólks og þannig efla lífsgæði þess. Sigríður Stephensen, leikskólafulltrúi og leikskólastjóri á Sólgarði, kemur til okkar. Ingvar Kamprad, stofnandi IKEA, lést á laugardag síðastliðinn 91 árs að aldri. Hann var 17 ára þegar hann stofnaði IKEA sem er, eins og hlustendum er kunnugt, eitt þekktasta fyrirtæki í heimi með 411 verslanir í 49 löndum. Það er varla til það heimili hér á landi sem ekki hefur einhvern hluta innbús síns úr IKEA og í sumum tilfellum eru IKEA vörur í hverju einasta herbergi íslenskra heimila. Þórarinn Ævarsson, framkvæmdastjóri IKEA á Íslandi, ætlar að koma til okkar og ræða áhrif þessa merka viðskiptamanns sem eru eflaust meiri en margir gera sér grein fyrir. Svandís Svavarsdóttir heilbrigðisráðherra sagði í Morgunútvarpinu í gær að læknar hafi misst læknaleyfi sín fyrir að ávísa lyfjum á fíkla. Eitt af viðfangsefnum þverfaglegs starfshóps sem hún ætlar að skipa verði að skoða hvort vandamálið snúist um einstaka lækna eða hvort viðfangsefnið sé víðtækara. Ólafur B. Einarsson, verkefnastjóri hjá Landlækni, ræðir þetta við okkur. Guðmundur Jóhannsson ræðir við okkur það markverðasta úr heimi tækninnar.
