Podcasts about Integration

John Casmon interviews Dani Lynn Robison, co-founder of a vertically integrated “Freedom Family” of nine real estate businesses, about how she moved from Ohio turnkey rentals into larger multifamily and fund management. Dani walks through why she brought renovations, property management, acquisitions, brokerage, and capital raising in-house, and how that 56-unit “drugs, thugs and bugs” deal became a $2M proof-of-concept for scaling apartments. She shares her hard-won lessons on hiring “Ferrari-level” leaders, structuring roles with profit sharing, and keeping a 100% payout track record by always making investors whole—even on bad deals. Dani also explains why many turnkey buyers don't actually want to be landlords, how she now focuses on truly passive vehicles like funds and syndications, and where she's seeing opportunities in Sun Belt multifamily, senior housing, self-storage, and build-to-rent as bridge loans come due over the next few years.

Is AI the secret sauce that lets the West deglobalize supply chains and bring factories back home?In this episode of TechFirst, I talk with Federico Martelli, CEO and cofounder of Forgis, a Swiss startup building an industrial intelligence layer for factories. Forgis runs “digital engineers” — AI agents on the edge — that sit on top of legacy machinery, cut downtime by about 30%, and boost production by roughly 20%, without ripping and replacing old hardware.We dive into how AI agents can turn brainless factory lines into adaptive, self-optimizing systems, and what that means for reshoring production to Europe and North America.In this episode, we cover:• Why intelligence is the next geopolitical frontier• How AI agents can reshore manufacturing without making it more expensive• Turning old, offline machines into data-driven, optimized systems• The two-layer model: integration first, vertical intelligence second• Why most manufacturing AI projects fail at integration, not algorithms• How Forgis raised $4.5M in 36 hours and chose its lead investor• Lean manufacturing 2.0: adding real-time data and AI to Toyota-style processes• Why operators stay in the loop (and why full autonomy is a bad idea… for now)• Rebuilding industrial ecosystems in Europe and North America, industry by industry• What Forgis builds next with its pre-seed round and where industrial AI is headedGuest:

EU Integration as Deeper Western Engagement Than NATO — Anatol Lieven — Lieven argues that European Union membership offers Ukraine more comprehensive integration into Western institutional and economic structures than NATO alliance membership alone, though EU accession requires massive institutional economic reforms and governance restructuring. Lieven documents that Russia strategically demands that Ukraine conduct new democratic elections to validate peace settlements and ensure regime commitment to negotiated agreements. Lieven notes the strategic paradox that the United States conspicuously avoids pushing for electoral validation that could provide democratic legitimacy to negotiated territorial compromises. 1936 MUNICH

Episode 1 of 4 Part Series — Dying to Know: My Ayahuasca Experience Into the Sacred Valley of Peru This opening episode marks the true beginning of a five-part, raw, unfiltered account of my time working with plant medicine in the Sacred Valley of Peru at the Arkana Spiritual Center. Before any medicine was poured, before the visions or revelations, there was the quiet ache. The inner calling. The fear beneath the fear. The deep, restless sense that something in life still feels unfinished. Most people don't seek out Ayahuasca or Sapo because everything is perfect. They come because something inside them is dying to know, Who am I really? What is this life for? Did I miss something essential while trying to keep it all together? The paradox is that what we're dying to know is not “out there” somewhere in a jungle or temple. It's here, buried beneath layers of identity, protection, trauma, and roles that no longer serve us. Plant medicine doesn't teach you new information; it excavates. It dismantles the inner tyrant who insists life must be predictable and safe. It burns off outdated versions of the self so a truer knowing can rise. Ego death isn't your death; it's the death of everything blocking your access to truth. But the real challenge isn't the ceremony, it's integration. You can't pour awakened clarity back into the shape of an old life. Integration is about becoming the version of you that the medicine revealed and staying awake in a world designed to pull you back to sleep. This is why I came back to Peru, not for novelty or visions, but for the soul's quality control. To shed another layer, to die another small death, to remember something ancient living inside me. Something I had forgotten. This is the moment before the beginning.Where running stops.Where remembering starts.Where the real journey begins.

From jumping straight to deal structure to building repeatable acquisition programs that scale, Corey Kupfer shares the exact whiteboarding process he uses with clients to create successful deal programs across M&A, joint ventures, licensing, and any deal-driven growth strategy. In this solocast episode of the DealQuest Podcast, host Corey Kupfer walks through the five critical steps that must come before deal structure when building a repeatable deal program. Drawing on 35+ years of deal-making experience and countless whiteboarding sessions that have helped create platforms completing dozens of transactions, Corey reveals why most attorneys start in the wrong place and how proper planning separates successful programs from expensive mistakes. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: In this episode, you'll discover why deal structure should be the sixth step in your process, not the first, and how to identify your personal and business motivations before pursuing any deal program. Corey shares the five whys technique from Honda's former CEO to uncover your real drivers, how to define your ideal target or partner profile to avoid wasting time on opportunities that don't fit your strategic criteria, and why your value proposition must differentiate you from competitors who may have more capital. You'll learn how to assemble the right deal team with both internal and external expertise, why building a repeatable model before doing individual deals prevents cap table nightmares and integration problems, and the power of having template documents ready to demonstrate you're a serious player. The framework applies whether you're pursuing acquisitions, joint ventures, licensing deals, franchising, or any other deal-driven growth approach. THE WHITEBOARDING PROCESS: Most clients come to Corey asking about deal structure. What should the terms be? Should they pay cash or offer equity? What about earnouts? These are important questions, but they're not where you should start. After doing whiteboarding sessions with countless clients over 35 years, Corey can say with complete confidence that every single one has gotten significant value from the process. The firms that skip these steps end up with inconsistent deal structures, cap table problems, and integration nightmares. The companies that do this right create efficient, repeatable processes that let them scale their deal programs. THE INTERNAL JOURNEY: Corey often talks about things other lawyers don't discuss. He focuses on the internal journey, making sure business leaders and executives move forward on deals from the right place. When you get to wherever you think you want to go, you should actually be happy and satisfied, and it should help you achieve your objectives and goals. Too many entrepreneurs pursue growth strategies based on external pressures or assumptions about what they think they should be doing, based on entrepreneurial wisdom out there. They grow and do things in ways that don't actually end up making them happy and satisfied and aren't necessarily best for their business. STEP ONE: START WITH YOUR WHY: The first question in every whiteboarding session is why. Not just the corporate why, although that matters. Corey wants to know your personal why as the founder or executive driving this strategy. If your why is geographic expansion because your clients need services in other markets, that's legitimate. If your why is adding capabilities that will create a better integrated client experience, that works too. If your why is increasing enterprise value before an exit in five or ten years, there's no judgment about that. You just need to be clear on what drives you, because that clarity will shape every subsequent decision. Corey uses the five whys technique, which comes from the former CEO or chairman of Honda. You ask why five times, going deeper with each question. Why do you want to grow? To get bigger. Why do you want to get bigger? To serve clients better. Why will that serve clients better? Because they have needs we currently send elsewhere, and integration would improve their experience. Why does that matter to you? Because I genuinely care about my clients and believe this will make them happier while helping our company grow. That depth of understanding separates deal programs that succeed from those that become expensive distractions. STEP TWO: DEFINE YOUR TARGET PROFILE: Once you know your why, you can determine who you should be targeting. This is where many firms waste tremendous time and energy. Doing deals is a distraction from running your business, especially if you don't have a dedicated corporate development team with finance people, legal resources, and integration specialists. You need to be surgical about who you pursue. Think about the wealth management space, which Corey works in extensively. There are huge numbers of buyers right now. The market is incredibly competitive. If you're trying to compete with private equity backed aggregators on their terms, you'll lose every time. They can pay top dollar, close fast, and offer the second bite of the apple through rollover equity and multiple arbitrage. If you don't have PE backing, you need a completely different value proposition. Maybe it's culture. Maybe it's the opportunity for advisors to expand their service offerings. Maybe it's taking administrative burden off retiring founders so they can focus on what they love. Your value proposition should be authentic to who you are and what you can actually deliver. STEP THREE: ASSEMBLE YOUR DEAL TEAM: Before you start actively pursuing deals, you need to know who will be on your deal team, both internally and externally. This includes whoever sources deals for you, whether that's an internal corporate development person, an investment banker, a recruiter, or a consultant. You need financial expertise, and it better be someone with deal experience. Accountants, CFOs, and controllers who have never worked on transactions are very different from those who have. The same goes for legal. Your general corporate lawyer is not the person to build your deal program. Then you have all the integration functions. Technology integration. HR and culture integration. Client communication and retention strategies. You might not have every person in place on day one, but you need to know what roles are required and have a plan for filling them before you close your first deal. STEP FOUR: BUILD YOUR MODEL: This is where most companies make a critical mistake. They do deals opportunistically without creating a consistent model first. Someone approaches them, they negotiate terms, they close. Then another opportunity comes along, they do it differently. After three or four deals, they have completely different structures with different equity classes, different earnout provisions, different everything. This creates massive problems. If you have different classes of equity, your cap table becomes a mess. If sellers talk to each other and realize they got very different deals, you have credibility issues and potential legal exposure. Integration becomes nearly impossible because you don't have standardized processes. The best acquirers find their model and make it repeatable. They have template legal documents. They have standardized financial analysis and underwriting processes. They have systems for due diligence and integration. Every deal follows the same fundamental structure with minor variations based on specific circumstances. When you build your model, you're deciding the big conceptual components. Are you doing all cash deals or creating an equity class for rollover? How much will you pay upfront versus over time? Will you have retention requirements tied to revenue or client retention? What about earnouts for partners who stay involved in growth? In service businesses where client relationships matter, you almost always want some backend money contingent on retention. If you're buying a manufacturing business with hard assets, the calculus is different. STEP FIVE: DRILL DOWN TO DEAL STRUCTURE: Once you have your model, you can determine the actual deal structure for individual transactions. What specific equity class will you offer? If you're an S corp, you can only have one class of equity. Will you restructure as a C corp or an LLC to offer different equity terms? What exact percentage will you pay upfront versus backend? Over how many years? If you know you're targeting retiring business owners who want to cash out, they probably want more money upfront and less backend risk. If you're targeting younger partners who want to stay and grow, they might prefer less upfront and more backend upside. All of these specific terms fit within your broader model. You're not reinventing the structure for each deal. You're applying your established approach with minor customizations based on the specific situation. THE POWER OF TEMPLATE DOCUMENTS: The ideal scenario is completing your whiteboarding session, building your model, and creating template legal documents before you start seriously pursuing targets. When someone expresses interest, you can immediately send a letter of intent. You can start due diligence with established processes. You can deliver definitive legal documents quickly. This makes you look professional and serious. It shows potential partners that you know what you are doing and have your act together. Speed matters in competitive markets. Corey understands the practical reality. Template documents cost legal fees before you have a deal in place. Some clients aren't willing to make that investment without more certainty. Others have already started conversations with potential partners before they come in for the whiteboarding session. Recently, a client did the whiteboarding session in the morning, then met with a potential seller that same afternoon. The seller was ready to move faster than expected. The documents got built for that specific deal, which also became the templates for future transactions. REAL-WORLD APPLICATIONS: The framework works across any deal type. While Corey uses M&A as the primary example because that's what most clients ask about, the principles apply to licensing strategies, joint venture partnerships, franchising programs, or any other deal-driven growth approach. The key is understanding what the ideal process looks like and getting as close to it as circumstances allow. A lot of these factors depend on your industry and the types of relationships with clients and customers. The contractual length and other factors with those customers and clients help dictate what the model will be around things like retention requirements. If you're bringing in retired folks who are looking to get out of the business and will be gone after a consulting arrangement, that will dictate a different part of the model than somebody who is younger, coming in, going to stay with the company, and wants to continue to grow. THE PERSONAL WHY MATTERS MOST: Company objectives matter. Strategic rationale matters. Financial considerations matter. But your personal why as the founder or executive is equally important. Why are we entrepreneurs if we're not creating companies that let us build the lives we want? Too many business leaders grow based on external pressure or assumptions about what they should be doing. They read about how some company scaled through acquisition, so they think they need to do the same thing. They hear about the multiples PE backed platforms are achieving, so they assume that's the only path. Then they build companies they don't actually want to run. They create obligations and structures that make them miserable. They achieve financial success but personal dissatisfaction. Your personal motivations are relevant and legitimate. If you want to build a legacy company, own that. If you want to create enterprise value for an exit, be honest about it. If you genuinely care about providing better client experiences, let that drive your decisions. When your personal why aligns with your company strategy, you create something sustainable. PROVEN RESULTS: These whiteboarding sessions have helped build platforms that have completed dozens of acquisitions. The firms that invest in proper planning make deal-driven growth look easy because they've built proper foundations. The firms that skip these steps end up scrambling, making mistakes, and wondering why their deal program isn't delivering expected results. The process creates tremendous value for every client who goes through it, helping founders create businesses they actually want to run while achieving their financial objectives. Perfect for business leaders considering deal-driven growth, entrepreneurs building acquisition programs, executives exploring joint ventures or strategic alliances, and anyone who wants to pursue deals without wasting time and resources on opportunities that don't align with strategic objectives. • • •FOR MORE ON THIS EPISODE:https://www.coreykupfer.com/blog/dealprogram• • •FOR MORE ON COREY KUPFER:https://www.linkedin.com/in/coreykupfer/http://coreykupfer.com/ Corey Kupfer is an expert strategist, negotiator, and dealmaker.

Most software teams still think of payments as a chore. We take you inside the playbook that turns it into a growth engine. I sits down with NMI CTO Phillip Goericke to unpack how embedded payments evolved from a basic checkout to a full-stack platform that handles onboarding, underwriting, payouts, analytics, and even embedded finance. The conversation is straight talk on what actually works when you're shipping fast and scaling globally.We dig into the architectural choices that matter: start with a no-code drop-in to activate revenue quickly, then progress to low-code SDKs and finally full APIs when you need deep control. Phillip shares where platforms stall - manual KYC, fragmented global rules, and data blind spots and how a modular approach fixes these without ripping out your stack. You'll hear how compliance-as-a-service, network tokenization, and adaptive 3D Secure can raise approval rates, reduce fraud, and simplify audits while keeping the checkout experience seamless.Looking ahead, we explore why identity, compliance, and data are the foundation for embedded finance. Philip outlines NMI's unified experience that brings payments, onboarding, insights, and new services like business capital into one place. We also tackle AI with clear eyes: use it to augment decisioning and anomaly detection, but wrap it with deterministic controls so money-critical outcomes are consistently right. The key takeaway is a mindset shift: stop treating payments as a feature and start using it as a strategic lever for revenue, retention, and product velocity.If you're building software with transactions anywhere in the flow, this is your blueprint for turning payments into a competitive moat.

Technology Reseller News senior tech reporter Moshe Beauford recently spoke with Kristyn Hogan, who heads up Cisco’s collaboration partner sales unit, to discuss the partner opportunity in collaboration and the smooth integration of Cisco’s full portfolio with offerings recently unveiled at its 2025 partner summit in San Diego. The conversation spans the breadth of Cisco’s collaboration devices and software, highlighting the company’s commitment to a partner-led growth strategy. Hogan further noted that partners are central to this push, as they are essential in providing the expertise and services needed for a “seamless migration experience.” She, too, detailed how the partner opportunity has evolved in the cloud era, moving from selling on-premises solutions to earning substantial recurring revenue through activation, usage and adoption incentives in hybrid environments. This shift is designed to ensure partner profitability as they help customers leverage the full stack of Cisco solutions. Furthermore, the discussion touched on how Cisco’s entire portfolio—including innovations announced at the recent Cisco Partner Summit—is designed for tight integration. This unified approach, part of the new Cisco 360 Partner Program, ensures that collaboration solutions work smoothly with networking, security and artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure to deliver integrated customer outcomes and create a significant competitive advantage for partners.

Seth shares the long, winding road from e-commerce to dentistry, to clear aligners, to scanners, and finally to building what he hopes becomes the most modern, integrated, and speed-driven LMS in the industry. He talks workflow obsession, eliminating downloads, killing paper dockets, listening to lab pain points, and why he's visited over 100 labs (and keeps going). Ryan brings the real-world perspective from a 100-tech lab that went through multiple LMS transitions before landing on GreatLab. He explains how their booking teams shrank, inbound calls dropped by 50%, audits disappeared, and technicians suddenly found computers they “didn't have” once the system made their jobs easier. From the CRM that kills phone tag to ScanHub pulling every scanner into one feed, Ryan breaks down exactly what changed on the bench, in customer service, and across production. We also dig into bad scans (yes, 20% of them), doctor communication, automatic file routing, task automation, shipping integrations, data migration fears, and why some labs should not switch systems unless they're truly ready to modernize. If you've ever wondered what a cloud-based, automation-heavy, lab-built-from-the-ground-up LMS looks like—or why another lab described GreatLab as “a Ferrari while everyone else is a Civic”—this episode lays it all out.

Unser heutiger Gast hat ein duales Studium bei Unilever und der Wirtschaftsakademie Hamburg absolviert und später an der FernUniversität in Hagen den Abschluss als Diplom-Kauffrau gemacht. Außerdem hat sie an der Leuphana Universität Lüneburg promoviert. In ihrer Dissertation befasste sie sich mit einem hochaktuellen Thema: der beruflichen Integration von Geflüchteten. Nach über zehn Jahren in verschiedenen Rollen bei Unilever, unter anderem im Vertrieb, im Trade Marketing und bei der Markteinführung von Ben & Jerry's in Deutschland, hat sie 2017 die Geschäftsführung der Hacker School übernommen. Ihr Ziel: Kinder und Jugendliche für das Programmieren begeistern, insbesondere Mädchen sowie sozioökonomisch benachteiligte junge Menschen. Sie ist eine leidenschaftliche Netzwerkerin, Initiatorin, Möglichmacherin, und sie ist jemand, die Digitalisierung nicht als Schlagwort versteht, sondern als Chance für Teilhabe und Zukunftsfähigkeit. Seit über acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt statt ihn zu schwächen. In über 500 Episoden haben wir mit fast 700 Gästen darüber gesprochen, was sich bereits für sie verändert hat und was sich weiter verändern muss. Wie gelingt es, junge Menschen für digitale Kompetenzen wie Programmieren zu begeistern, gerade, wenn ihnen zu Hause keine digitalen Chancen eröffnet werden? Was sind die größten Herausforderungen, wenn man als Social Entrepreneur ein Thema wie digitale Bildung groß machen will: mit begrenzten Ressourcen, aber großer gesellschaftlicher Relevanz? Und was braucht es konkret, damit solche Initiativen nicht nur überleben – sondern wirklich skalieren können? Von Unternehmen, Politik und Gesellschaft? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen.

Integration of PLCs and robots has become standardized.

In this episode of Control Intelligence, written by contributing editor Tobey Strauch, editor in chief Mike Bacidore discusses the standard robot command interface.

Vom Tellerwäscher zum Millionär. Fast: Rocco Delli Colli hatte Sehnsucht nach der Pizza, wie es sie nur in seiner Heimat gab. Darum eröffnete er 1990 in Rapperswil eine Pizzeria. Daraus wurde mit « Dieci » der grösste Pizza-Lieferant der Schweiz. Ein Gespräch über Erfolg, Integration und Heimat. Mit 18 Jahren packte Rocco Delli Colli seine Sachen und folgte seinem Vater in die Schweiz. «Dank meinem Fussballteam habe ich mich hier sofort wohlgefühlt». Er jobbte als Elektromechaniker und Schalttafelmonteur, doch innerlich wusste er schon damals, dass er ein Patron ist. Trotz des Erfolgs mit Dieci bleibt der 64-jährige umtriebig. Seine neuste Vision: Er will Italiens grösster Produzent von Bio-Olivenöl werden. Seit 20 Jahren ist Delli Colli auch Präsident vom FC Rapperswil-Jona. «Ich habe drei Familien: Fussball, das Unternehmen und meine Frau & Kinder. Letztere stehen zu Oberst.» ___________________ Habt ihr Feedback, Fragen oder Wünsche?

In der 342. Episode von Irgendwas mit Recht spricht Marc mit Christian Wensing, Volljurist und heute in leitender Position in der Rechtsabteilung von Douglas. Christian erzählt, wie er über ein Faible für Sprachen, einen juristischen Vater und erste vage Berufsüberlegungen zum Jurastudium in Münster gekommen ist, warum ihn wirtschaftsnahe Themen wie Kartell- und Gesellschaftsrecht fasziniert haben und wie Stationen im Bundeskartellamt, in Großkanzleien und in der Rechtsabteilung von Henkel seinen Wunsch nach internationaler Arbeit geprägt haben. Es geht darum, weshalb er den eher ungewöhnlichen Weg gewählt hat, den LLM erst nach dem zweiten Examen in London zu machen, welche Rolle Sprache und Netzwerke spielen. Wie bereitet sich ein europaweit tätiger Retailer mit Milliardenumsätzen auf ein Börsen-Listing vor? Was bedeutet eine umfassende Due Diligence aus Unternehmenssicht konkret und wie koordiniert man intern Datenräume, Fragenkataloge und externe Berater? Was unterscheidet die Perspektive eines Kanzlei-Anwalts von der eines Unternehmensjuristen, der auch die Integration von Zukäufen und die langfristige Entwicklung im Konzern begleitet? Wie fühlt es sich an, wenn Kapitalmarktrecht plötzlich zum täglichen Handwerkszeug wird, obwohl man ursprünglich aus dem Private-Equity- und M&A-Bereich kommt? Und welche Überlegungen sollten Studierende und Referendarinnen anstellen, wenn sie zwischen Großkanzlei, LLM, Promotion und Unternehmensjuristerei abwägen? Antworten auf diese und viele weitere Fragen erhaltet Ihr in dieser Folge von IMR. Viel Spaß!

The Jewish response to elections – whether the shocking victory of an openly anti-Semitic mayor in New York City or any political upheaval throughout history – must be twofold: before the vote, we exercise full hishtadlut (effort) by voting, cultivating goodwill with leaders, and supporting candidates who protect Jewish safety (as our Sages sent gifts to Caesar and Rabbi Akiva petitioned Rome); after the vote, we immediately pivot to total bitachon, recognizing that the final outcome is 100 % Hashem's decree, often sent as a wake-up call that we have grown too comfortable in galut. History repeats itself: German Jews declared Berlin their Jerusalem, Polish Jews called Poland “Polin – here we shall dwell,” and today many American Jews act as if the United States is the final stop; every time we forget we are in exile, Hashem sends a jolt – sometimes from the left, sometimes from the right – to remind us that no political party, president, or democracy is our ultimate protector.The comforting truth is that these “potches” (divine smacks) are acts of love meant to push us back toward our mission: to be a light unto the nations wherever we are, and ultimately to yearn for and move toward Yerushalayim. When we respond correctly – by increasing Torah, tefillah, teshuvah, and authentic Jewish pride – the bitterness miraculously turns sweet, just as October 7th produced hundreds of thousands of newly observant Jews and countless stories of open miracles among the hostages. The message is clear: get comfortable being uncomfortable in galut, stop putting ultimate faith in any human leader or system, and remember that only the almighy (Hakadosh Baruch Hu) runs the world – and He is nudging us home.Engage with us by sharing your questions, and we look forward to addressing them in future episodes, fostering a more interactive experience for our audience by submitting your questions to unboxing@torchweb.org_____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by the Nagel Family.This Episode (#25) of the Unboxing Judaism Podcast is dedicated in honor of The Nagel WeddingRecorded in the TORCH Centre - Levin Family Studio (B) on November 12, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on November 25, 2025_____________Unboxing Judaism Podcast is a discussion on fundamental Jewish and modern cultural topics through the lens of our Torah and heritage with Rabbi Yaakov Nagel and Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe from TORCH, in Houston, TexasASK!
