LVMH has a sprawling portfolio of brands synonymous with luxury: Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Bulgari, Celine, Tiffany & Co., Hennessy and Veuve Clicquot. Its CEO, Bernard Arnault, almost never speaks to journalists and doesn't have the name recognition of the likes of Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk, but regularly vies with them for the title of richest person in the world and has an almost impossible-to-measure influence over the business world. Bloomberg Businessweek's Brad Stone and reporter Angelina Rascouët recently landed a rare interview with Arnault, where they learned how he built his empire from the ground up. And they consider a burning question: At 75 years old with five grown children in the business, what are his plans for succession?

The securities market is in focus today as we speak to one of the founding clearing members of the Singapore Exchange Derivatives Trading or (SGX-DT).  Inaugurated some 40 years ago in 1983 as Phillip Futures, our guest for today is multi-asset broker Phillip Nova.  As a member of the PhillipCapital Group, the company has grown over the years and now prides itself as one of the region's top brokers for the trading of CFD, Forex, Futures and Stocks.  It also taps PhillipCapital Group's network companies to access exchanges around the world, including the Singapore Exchange, the Hong Kong Exchange, the Japanese Exchange Group, the New York Mercantile Exchange, the COMEX and more.  The company was rebranded in Phillip Nova in 2022 after the firm received its own securities brokerage licence to broaden its service offerings.  Its CEO had said then that the rebranding initiative was meant to reflect the brokerage's expanded suite of offerings ranging across five asset classes namely: stocks, futures, forex, commodities and CFDs.  But Phillip Nova is an interesting company to talk about not just because of the rebranding initiative, but also because of the markets it is eyeing on in a bid to drive growth.  For one thing, the firm had in March this year offered the trading of Istanbul-quoted futures.  Representatives of its parent company, PhillipCapital had also met up with the senior management team of the regulator of financial services in the Republic of Kazakhstan, on the sidelines of the Kazakhstan-Singapore Business Forum that took place in May last year.  But what are the opportunities in these markets, and how will Phillip Nova partner up with industry players to deepen its stock trading links in order to penetrate into these relatively untapped markets? On Under the Radar, The Evening Runway's finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Teyu Che Chern, CEO, Phillip Nova.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hardly a day passes by without some group of hard working people from some European country getting in the face of authorities, media and society with their urgent plight. Long gone are the days when the MSM tried so hard to present the agricultural fight as mere ‘demands for more subsidy'. Today everyone understands that the escalating protests are against the failed, crippling EU environmental regulations that threaten the very existence of the food producers. Reuters reported: “Placards depicted a farmer swinging from a gallows next to wind farms and an EU-emblazoned executioner with the words: ‘Green Deal equals death of Polish agriculture'.” Around 600 protests ongoing in Poland.

Its CEO, Amin Nasser, just came out yesterday (18) and said that the energy transition envisioned by the ‘global warming' crowd is failing.   He went ahead and in a rare show of honesty, advised that policymakers should abandon the ‘fantasy' (ouch!) of phasing out oil and gas, as he is sure demand for fossil fuels is expected to continue to grow in the coming years. CNBC reported: “'In the real world, the current transition strategy is visibly failing on most fronts as it collides with five hard realities',     He noted that alternative energy sources have been unable to displace hydrocarbons at scale, despite the world investing more than $9.5 trillion over the past two decades.

I'm just going to merge the numbers but… 42nd for specialists, 48th for primary care doctors, 45th for the number of physicians per capita in the United States. That's Texas, as big and as fast as we are growing. So, you can imagine how far behind we are for the Rio Grande Valley.”Perez said Texas Digestive Specialists “loves” to create partnerships. He gave some examples.“Our partnership downstairs with HCA, the McAllen Surgery Center. We partner in so many ways with other hospitals and facilities, UHS, our physicians work there. I know that UHS is now getting involved with graduate medical education. That's incredible. HCA is now getting involved with UTRGV with graduate medical education. Incredible.

And then, of course, Tenet hospitals as well. Incredible. They have a long standing tradition of supporting undergraduate and graduate medical education. I love creating partnerships and creating collective impact solutions for all the healthcare needs of our region.”Perez thanked the “amazing leaders” from the world of healthcare that attended the official opening. One of them was Matt Wolthoff, president of Driscoll's new children's hospital in Edinburg.“I told Matt Wolthoff, one of the CEOs who was here earlier… we can't stop until we can say that 99 percent of our people can get their health care in the Rio Grande Valley.

One of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, FTX, recently imploded spectacularly. Its CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried, had been called "the next Warren Buffett" and was a Democratic megadonor as well as a major funder of the "Effective Altruism" movement. Overnight, Bankman-Fried saw his fortune and his company wiped out, and he is now under criminal investigation. To explain what happened, and why we keep seeing spectacular frauds in the crypto industry, we are joined today by Stephen Diehl, a longtime critic of crypto who has been warning for years that crypto assets can suddenly implode and that unregulated crypto exchanges like FTX are a terrible place to keep your money. Diehl is the co-author of the new book Popping the Crypto Bubble, an accessible explanation of how cryptocurrency works and why it's a terrible idea. He and his co-authors show how the history of financial bubbles and manias helps us understand crypto-hype today. In this episode, Stephen discusses the credulity that allows con artists like Bankman-Fried to flourish in the crypto industry, and that dupes supposedly savvy investors into believing in the digital equivalent of magic beans. We also discuss the complicity of financial journalists in promoting con artists as altruistic geniuses who can be entrusted with one's retirement savings. "To anyone who does due diligence, this thing [FTX] is papered in red flags. It's a Bahamanian shell company set up in the least regulated environment on the planet, with no board of directors, no governance, completely opaque financials set up by a 28-year-old and apparently staffed by 17 kids all living in a frat house in the Bahamas. But the investors in this thing were some of the most sophisticated funds on the planet! … Apparently none of them did any due diligence on this thing." — Stephen DiehlThe FTX Super Bowl commercial with Larry David is here. The Bloomberg interview in which Bankman-Fried seemingly admits he is “in the Ponzi business” is here.

Today, CEOs of big corporations are playing the tricky “Inflation Blame Game!” Publicly, they moan that the pandemic is slamming their poor corporations with factory shutdowns, supply chain delays, wage hikes, and other increased costs. But wait – inside their board rooms, executives are high fiving each other and pocketing bonuses. What's going on? The trick is that these giants are in non-competitive markets operating as monopolies, so they can set prices, mug you and me, and scamper away with record profits. In 2019 for example, before the pandemic, corporate behemoths hauled in roughly a trillion dollars in profit. In 2021, during the pandemic, they grabbed more than $1.7 trillion. This huge profit jump accounts for 60% of the inflation now slapping US families! Take supermarket goliath Kroger. Its CEO gloated last summer that “a little bit of inflation is always good in our business,” adding that “we've been very comfortable with our ability to pass on [price] increases” to consumers. “Comfortable” indeed. Last year, Kroger used its monopoly pricing power to reap record profits, then it spent $1.5 billion of those gains not to benefit consumers or workers, but to buy back its own stock – a scam that siphons profits to top executives and big shareholders. Or take the fast-food purveyor McDonalds's. It bragged to its shareholders that despite the supply disruptions of the pandemic and higher costs for meat and labor, its top executives had used the chain's monopoly power in 2021 to up prices, thus increasing corporate profits by a stunning 59% over the previous year. And the game goes on: “We're going to have the best growth we've ever had this year,” Wall Street banking titan Jamie Dimon exulted at the start of 2022. Hocus Pocus, this is how the rich get richer and inequality “happens.”

The apologies just keep on coming from the leadership of the new mega polytech - first it was a mea culpa to staff, now it's to the Minister of Education. Te Pūkenga has been beset with difficulties as it works to bringing polytechnics, institutes of technology and Industry Training Organisations together by January 1. Its CEO - earning up to $1300 a week - remains on unexplained personal leave, there's a projected $110 million deficit and concerns about how the transition is being managed. Furthermore, it won't be until Christmas that hundreds of staff around the country will find out whether or not they still have a job. Our political editor, Jane Patterson, filed this report.

Whatever you believe is the cause of our changing climate, we seem to be living through an era of historically more storms, and more severe storms. Even if you only moved here recently, most of us in Louisiana have now lived through a major hurricane, or had one narrowly miss us. You're no doubt all too familiar with the hurricane season ritual ahead of a storm heading in our direction. It starts about 5 Days out, with casually checking the weather forecast, and builds to obsessively watching storm predictions on TV, checking incessantly online, and asking family, friends, and neighbors, “Are you staying or evacuating?” So, here's a crazy question. What if you didn't have to do any of that? What if there was a website or an app that you could open, punch in your address, and get an individualized, accurate, wind and flood forecast? Not for the city, but for your own specific street address. If that sounds ridiculous and impossible, well, it's neither. It's actually real. It's a tool that's at your fingertips right now, called QRisq. It's the result of years of development by a company headquartered at the Stennis Space Center, called QRisq Analytics. Initially QRisq's customers have been municipalities but starting with the 2022 hurricane season, Q Risq is available to the general public. Elizabeth Valenti is the Lead Engineer who created, designed and, along with a staff of 7, built this piece of technology. There's a good side and a bad side to everything. Even high winds. Almost everybody in the energy production business believes that wind power is going to provide a significant amount of our future electricity supply. Here in Louisiana, we don't exactly have winds whistling across wide open plains. But we do have wind out at sea, in the Gulf. Harnessing that off-shore wind to generate electricity is now a priority, for both our State and Federal governments. As plans progress to build wind farms out in the Gulf, one of the essential items is the giant windmill blades that spin around to produce the energy. Each wind turbine blade is 400 feet long. And made of aerodynamically sculpted steel. Wind turbine blades are reportedly the largest serially produced item manufactured on earth. And the exact spot on the planet that some of the most advanced blades are being designed is at the Avondale Shipyards, just out of New Orleans, by a company called Gulf Wind Technology. Its CEO is James Martin. I'm sure you've heard the expression, “It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good.” It's meant to suggest that even something that is bad for most people has got to be good for somebody. There are very few instances where you can employ that expression literally. So, to that extent we may have made history with this podcast!  Elizabeth Valenti's QRisq technology might be the closest we've come to getting an advantage over hurricanes, or at least predicting our chances of survival. And increasing our chances of getting an insurance settlement on the other side. And whereas “trying to catch the wind” was once a poetic way of describing a hopeless cause, today, catching the wind is becoming a potentially planet-saving industry. And James Martin's turbine blade technology is at the cutting edge of the revolution.    Elizabeth and James are both doing ground-breaking work that would be significant whatever city they were in, anywhere in the world. It's amazing that they're both here in New Orleans. Out to Lunch is recorded live over lunch at NOLA Pizza in the NOLA Brewing Taproom.

Friends,As Congress prepares for summer recess, average working Americans are facing increasingly hard economic times — including a likely recession (see here). Yet Congress has so far failed to provide most Americans with what they need to weather the storm — subsidies for childcare and eldercare, paid sick leave, an increase in the federal minimum wage, lower pharmaceutical costs, additional help with the next strain of COVID, and so on. At the very same time, American corporations are lining up with their hands outstretched, seeking all sorts of special benefits. And there's bipartisan support for giving them what they want.Today I want to explain why corporations so often get what they want while average Americans don't. It's not simply that corporations bribe legislators with campaign donations, although that's a big part of it. There's another phenomenon at work that you need to know about. Consider semiconductor chips. They're the brains of modern electronics — embedded in everything from smartphones, radios, TVs, computers, video games, and advanced medical diagnostic equipment, to automobiles. As the world supply of almost everything tries to catch up with roaring post-lockdown demand, chips inevitably are in short supply. This week, Congress is putting final touches on the CHIPS Act, which will provide more than $52 billion to companies that design and make semiconductor chips. The subsidy is demanded by the biggest chip makers as a condition for making more chips here. It's pure extortion. You see, the world's biggest chip maker (in terms of sales) is already an American corporation — Intel, based in Santa Clara, California. Intel hardly needs the money. Its revenue rose to $79 billion last year. Its CEO, Pat Gelsinger, got a total compensation package of $179 million (which was 1,711-times larger than the average Intel employee). From the perspective of the United States, the problem is that Intel is not dealing with the current American shortage of chips by giving preference to producers in the United States, and it's not keeping America on the cutting edge of new chip technologies. In addition to its facilities in the United States, Intel designs, assembles, and tests its chips in China, Israel, Ireland, Malaysia, Costa Rica, and Vietnam. And it sells them just about everywhere. (To add another layer of complication, many of Intel's “American” customers don't actually make their products in the United States. They're headquartered in the United States but, like Intel, they design and make stuff all over the world.)Obviously, Intel would like some of the $52 billion Congress is about to throw at the semiconductor chip industry — but why exactly should Intel get the money? Among the other likely beneficiaries of the CHIPS Act will be GlobalFoundries. GlobalFoundries currently makes chips in New York and Vermont, but in many other places around the world as well. GlobalFoundries isn't even an American corporation. It's a wholly owned subsidiary of Mubadala Investment Co. — the sovereign wealth fund of the United Arab Emirates. The point is, the nation where a chipmaker (or any other global corporation) is headquartered has less and less to do with where it designs and makes things or where its customers are located. Every industry that can possibly be considered “critical” is now lobbying the U.S. government for subsidies, tax cuts, and regulatory exemptions, in return for designing and making stuff in America. But they're lobbying in other nations, too. It's a giant global shakedown. India, Japan and South Korea have all recently passed tax credits, subsidies and other incentives amounting to tens of billions of dollars for the semiconductor industry, and the European Union is finalizing its own chips act with $30 billion to $50 billion in subsidies. Even China has extended tax and tariff exemptions and other measures aimed at upgrading chip design and production there. “Other countries around the globe … are making major investment in innovation and chip production,” says Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. “If we don't act quickly, we could lose tens of thousands of good-paying jobs to Europe [emphasis added].”Who is “we,” Senator? John Neuffer, the chief executive of the Semiconductor Industry Association (the Washington D.C. lobbying arm of the semiconductor industry) says the industry has been under “withering pressure” to build new manufacturing facilities to respond to the explosion of demand for chips, but he warns that chipmaking facilities are often 25 to 50 percent cheaper to build in foreign countries than in the United States. Why are they so much cheaper to build abroad? As he admits, it's largely because of the incentives foreign countries have offered.As capital becomes ever more global and footloose, it can play nation against nation to get the best deals in return for where it agrees to do what. Most people, by contrast, are rooted within particular nations, which gives them far less bargaining power. This asymmetry helps explain why Congress is ready to hand over $52 billion to a highly-profitable global industry but can't come up with even the $22.5 billion that the Biden administration says is necessary to cope with upcoming variants of COVID in the United States — for testing, therapeutics, vaccines, and essential treatments for the next generation of vaccines. The reality is that global corporations have no loyalty to any nation. As the then-CEO of U.S.-based ExxonMobil unabashedly stated, “I'm not a U.S. company and I don't make decisions based on what's good for the U.S.” If they are publicly owned, corporations have to be loyal to their shareholders by maximizing the value of their shares. But not even this guarantees that they'll act in the best interest of the United States. Over 40 percent of the shareholder value of American-based companies is owned by non-Americans. There's no reason to suppose a company's American owners will be happy to sacrifice investment returns for the good of the nation, either. Global corporations also have to obey the laws of the countries where they make or sell their stuff — which can cause problems when those laws or policies conflict with those of other nations. Last December, Intel was slammed by China for writing a letter to its suppliers, published on its website, stating that the corporation had been "required to ensure that its supply chain does not use any labor or source goods or services from the Xinjiang region” — as required by the United States (which has accused China of widespread human rights abuses in Xinjiang, home to the country's predominantly Muslim Uyghurs). Intel then deleted the reference to Xinjiang and apologized for the "trouble" it had caused, explaining that its commitment to avoid supply chains from Xinjiang was an expression of compliance with U.S. law rather than a statement of its position on the issue. (The apology caused Senator Marco Rubio to threaten to make Intel ineligible for CHIP Act subsidies. “Intel's cowardice is yet another predictable consequence of economic reliance on China,” Rubio said. “Instead of humiliating apologies and self-censorship, companies should move their supply chains to countries that do not use slave labor or commit genocide.”) This is not to dismiss the critical importance of semiconductor chips to the United States, but only to suggest that paying $52 billion in subsidies to global chipmakers to make them here is a peculiarly inefficient way of responding to that importance. The real question is what conditions the United States (or any other nation that subsidizes chip makers) should place on receipt of such subsidies. It can't be enough that a company merely agrees to make or design chips in America, because chip makers are already doing that. It can't be that they'll create more American jobs in chip making, because jobs in low-end fabrication that require little skill won't build the technological capabilities of the U.S. workforce. And it can't just be that the chipmakers agree to produce more chips in the United States, because additional production in the United States is no guarantee against future shortages in the United States. Remember, these corporations are global. They sell their chips around the world to the highest bidders, wherever the chips are produced. If we want to tie the public subsidy to the public interest, we should demand that any chips produced in America, over and above those already produced here, focus on the highest value-added parts of chip making — design, design engineering, and high precision manufacturing — so Americans gain that technological expertise. And we should demand that in the event of chip shortages, the subsidized chipmakers give highest priority to their American-based customers — customers using the chips in products made in the United States, by American workers. But what happens if every nation subsidizing chipmakers demands the same? Obviously, the chipmakers can't grant most-favored-nation status to every nation. They'll have to choose. Also: How do we ensure that a big chunk of the $52 billion isn't frittered away on shareholders and executive pay — as has been the case every time the U.S. government has subsidized Wall Street banks? Perhaps make chip makers agree not to buy back their shares of stock or pay their executives more than 50 times the pay of their median workers, and also give the government partial ownership in the form of equity interest. As Senator Bernie Sanders (who is pushing these conditions in an amendment to the CHIP Act) has said, there's no reason to socialize the chipmaker's risks and privatize their profits. If American taxpayers are going to give the semiconductor industry $52 billion, we should get a return on our investment. What do you think? This is a public episode.

Good morning everybody! Welcome back to the Motivated Entrepreneurs podcast. I'm your host, Dean Booty. Today is Saturday, the 11th of June. Today we have a book review and it's called "Power Play: Tesla, Elon Musk, and the Bet of the Century" by Tim Higgins. Tesla is the envy of the automotive world.  Born at the start of the millennium, it was the first car company to be valued at $1 trillion.  Its CEO, the mercurial, charismatic Elon Musk has become not just a celebrity but the richest man in the world. But Tesla's success was far from guaranteed. Founded in the 2000s, the company was built on an audacious vision. Musk and a small band of Silicon Valley engineers set out to make a car that was quicker, sexier, smoother, and cleaner than any gas-guzzler on the road. Tesla would undergo a hellish fifteen years, beset by rivals—pressured by investors, hobbled by whistleblowers. Musk often found himself in the public's crosshairs, threatening to bring down the company he had helped build. Please give a listen.

Envision is a nonprofit that provides employment opportunities and resources to people who are visually impaired. Its CEO, Michael Monteferrante explains how the nonprofit is doing well by doing good in a workforce shortage.

I mentioned yesterday that I've been inspired by the young Starbucks baristas who are leading the charge to unionize the company. The number of unionizing stores has risen to seventy-two since the fall. The weekly spate of new Starbucks election filings represents a breakthrough for labor.Starbucks executives are counterattacking. Last week, they fired seven Memphis baristas who had led the organizing in that city. I urge you to watch my interview with leaders of the Starbucks baristas (just double-click below).Starbucks baristas are part of a movement of food service workers across the nation. These workers have not only endured the pandemic (they've been deemed “essential” and suffered high rates of COVID) but also lousy pay and insecure work. A brief strike in Colorado last month by Kroger workers in Colorado revealed the scope of the problem. Kroger is the biggest supermarket chain in the United States and the fourth-largest employer in the Fortune 500. It owns more than 2,700 locations (its brands include Harris Teeter, Fred Meyer, Ralphs, Smith's, Pick 'n Save and even Murray's Cheese in New York City). Kroger's business has boomed during the pandemic. Its stock has risen about 36 percent over the past year. Its CEO, Rodney McMullen, earned $22.4 million in 2020. But the median Kroger employee earned just $24,617 last year. That's a CEO-to-worker ratio of 909 to 1 — one of the country's starkest gaps between a CEO and typical employee. About 75 percent of Kroger employees report being food insecure, meaning they lack consistent access to enough food for a healthy life. About 14 percent report being homeless, now or within the last year. Over 62 percent say they do not earn enough money to pay basic monthly expenses. And their pay keeps dropping: Kroger's top-paid grocery clerks today earn 22 percent less than they did in 1990 (adjusted for inflation). About two-thirds of all Kroger's hourly employees work part-time, even though they want more hours. Yet more than half are given schedules that change at least every week, making it difficult for them to commit to another employer. As I noted last week, keeping workers part time is a strategy employers use to encourage turnover and reduce costs.Hopefully, the Starbucks's baristas I interviewed — and others like them — will lead the way to better pay and working conditions for all food service workers, including Krogers. Food service workers and the giant corporations that employ them reveal the shambles of labor-management relations in America today, and the hypocrisy of so-called “corporate social responsibility.” This is a public episode.
