When Markus Villig founded Bolt 12 years ago, it was one of dozens trying to take on Uber. Today, it's the only major European ride-hailing company left — worth €7.4bn and expanding across taxis, scooters, car rental and delivery.This week, Europe editor Mimi Billing sits down with Markus to discuss why it's now almost impossible to build a new ride-hailing network, why he thinks Europe is sleepwalking into a “disaster” on self-driving cars and physical AI, and how he's helping shape Estonia's defence tech landscape.Markus also explains why founders should engage more with politicians, what Europe needs from a single capital market — and his experience as the youngest board member of any US public company, thanks to buy now, pay later giant Klarna.

Leaders In Payments

Leaders In Payments

If you run a small or mid-sized retail business and feel stuck between legacy tools and rising customer expectations, this conversation is your playbook for breaking through. We sit down with Unzer CEO Robert Bueninck to unpack how bundling software and payments helps merchants deliver seamless experiences across in-store and online without enterprise budgets or heavyweight integrations.Robert traces his journey from early Klarna days to leading Unzer's “payments and beyond” ecosystem, and lays out why the mid-market is the most underserved (and most promising) space in European commerce. We dive into the practical ways software plus payments drives real outcomes: faster onboarding, unified reporting, and simpler support when QR ordering, click-and-collect, or in-store returns marry e-commerce and POS. He explains Unzer's focus on food services, beauty, and apparel, and how a clear build-partner boundary keeps products sharp while letting merchants scale when complexity grows.We also dig into Europe's unique payments fabric. Alternative payment methods and account-to-account rails already dominate online checkout in markets like the Netherlands and Belgium, changing merchant economics with lower cost and instant funds. BNPL fills the buyer-protection gap, while policymakers push toward a pan-European A2A framework and greater vendor independence. Robert separates hype from habit on agentic commerce and stablecoins, arguing that adoption only happens when the new flow truly makes life easier for shoppers and staff and that's where the mid-market wins.Looking ahead, Robert outlines Unzer's growth bets: expand combined software and payments across core markets, bring all products to all regions, and help “make Germany digital” as a foundation for broader European reach.  If you care about SMB retail, omnichannel checkout, A2A payments, BNPL, and the future of European payments infrastructure, you'll find plenty to act on here.

In this episode of Words With Wista, we're unpacking America's latest circus: the Supreme Court entertaining Trump's mission to end birthright citizenship, the National Park Service dropping free admission on MLK Day and Juneteenth while adding Trump's birthday, and Senator Bernie Moreno trying to make dual citizens pick a side like it's Survivor. We get into Trump vowing to send American companies to Congo and Rwanda to scoop up rare earth assets, Amazon plotting its own postal service, and Klarna rolling out membership tiers that cost more than people's groceries while Americans juggle $1.23 trillion in credit card debt. Major record labels want pricier streaming, Cinnabon fired an employee after a discriminatory incident caught on camera but supporters still donated over $50K to her, and a TikToker checked a commenter for his prejudiced remark by reminding him his Grindr account exists, that he's married, and that she will be telling his wife. The Kennedy Center Honors also sparked conversation after Trump presented awards to Sylvester Stallone, KISS, Michael Crawford, George Strait, and especially Gloria Gaynor, with many calling out the irony of the “I Will Survive” icon receiving honors while being a known supporter of the president. Plus, the Streamer Awards imploded under FanFan's jokes, the World Cup draw turned into a weird PR stunt for Trump, and Haiti lands a dream-but-terrifying group with Brazil, Morocco, and Scotland. A buffet of nonsense. IG: itswista Podcast IG: wordswithwista Substack: wordswithwista

Vi har sett Beatles Anthology, 9 avsnitt nymixade efter 30 år. Och det håller. Beatles är vår populärkulturs motsvarighet till myter och gudasagor. Här finns både det extraordinära och det alldeles vardagliga. Magda håller jultal i dag, men talar knappast om AiP-skandalen. Men kanske om nazistmarschen i Salem. Mycket nazister nu, eller ska vi säga "militärhistoriker"? Magnus Ranstorp klär av Guillou, hela Sveriges egen fnoskige gammelfarbror. SOM-undersökningen bekräftar Ungdomsbarometern som vi redan talat om: yngre är allt mer konservativa. Varför? Kanske behövs en hårdare inre kärna av värderingar och normer, när allt annat flyter. Att Trump kan bli glad av att får ett "fredspris" som FIFA hittat på för att ge just till honom är nästan lite gulligt. Och tack till Edward Blom som hjälper oss att skilja på högtiderna, men också att uppföra oss. Liberalerna satsar på att vara mot strypsex för att klara sig i riksdagen. det har alla tecken på en moralpanik. Klarna varnar för bedragare, men hur skyddar man sig mot Klarna? Public services Hatet om Joakim Lundell är ett trendbrott i svensk offentlighet. Nu har vi importerat den brittiska genren underklass-nyhets-underhållning. Antagligen ett tecken på att medelklassens grepp över medierna veknat. Claes de Faires nya roman på Kaunitz-Olsson förlag är en hit, enligt Susanna, som hunnit läsa. Gå på teater heter den - nätt och rolig, men just därför allvarlig. Andreas T Olsson läste ur boken om sig själv på boksläppet på Wetterling Gallery, där hela Östermalm var.

AI promised us rocket fuel and handed us… work slop. In this episode of Radar – by nexxworks, Steven Van Belleghem, Peter Hinssen and Pascal Coppens dissect a wild year in AI and look ahead at what's coming next for innovation, marketing and customer loyalty. The trio starts with DeepSeek and what its sudden rise says about the next wave of AI capabilities. They unpack the phenomenon of work slop – endless AI-generated garbage clogging our feeds and inboxes – and explore why Klarna's AI journey proves that human oversight is still non-negotiable. From there, they move into Hollywood and beyond: AI-generated actors, synthetic influencers and the coming clash between creativity, ethics and efficiency. Things get even more sci-fi when humanoid robots enter the chat. Pascal zooms in on how China is racing ahead in robotics, AI integration and its next five-year plan focused on productivity and innovation. Meanwhile, Apple is struggling to find its AI groove, raising sharp questions about its future as the world's favourite innovation icon.   Underneath all of this runs a bigger story: What happens to customer loyalty when algorithms do the choosing? How much marketing intuition can we afford to lose in a world obsessed with data? And which jobs and entry-level roles get eaten first as AI creeps deeper into the workflow?   Suppose you're trying to make sense of AI, DeepSeek, Klarna, work slop, customer loyalty, humanoid robots, Apple, marketing, predictions and innovation. In that case, this episode is your slightly sarcastic, fully human guide through the chaos of what's next.

Black Friday is coming, and you've got two choices: get trampled at 3 a.m. for a discount air fryer, or learn how the pros actually save hundreds without the drama. Joe Saul-Sehy and Neighbor Doug kick off Black Friday week with the perfect blend of strategy and sanity. First up: Australian comedian Josh Liston tries to make sense of American Thanksgiving traditions and why we consider waking up before dawn to fight strangers over discounted electronics "normal holiday fun." Spoiler: he's not buying it. Then Regina Conway from Slick Deals drops in with the actual playbook. Regina breaks down when to shop during Black Friday week (different categories peak on different days), how to stack coupons with cashback and gift card deals for maximum savings, and why subscriptions and memberships might be the smartest budget-friendly gifts you're not considering. She also reveals how the Slick Deals community spots hidden bargains before they disappear—and how you can do the same. But here's where it gets real: Joe, Doug, and Josh tackle Buy Now Pay Later schemes like Affirm and Klarna. They're everywhere this season, and they're tempting. They're also the financial equivalent of eating Halloween candy for breakfast—feels great in the moment, regrettable by lunch. You'll learn exactly when these services make sense (rare) and when they're just a trap disguised as convenience. Whether you're hunting deals or trying to avoid holiday debt, this episode is your survival guide for coming out ahead. What You'll Walk Away With: • Regina Conway's insider strategy for when to shop during Black Friday week (hint: timing matters more than you think) • How to stack coupons, cashback offers, and gift card deals to maximize every purchase • Why subscriptions and memberships make surprisingly smart (and budget-friendly) holiday gifts • Grocery hacks that actually save money during the most expensive shopping weeks of the year • The truth about Buy Now Pay Later—when it's useful and when it's just expensive debt with good marketing • How community-powered deal sites like Slick Deals help you find and vet bargains before they vanish • Smart strategies to enjoy the holidays without the January credit card hangover This Episode Is For You If: • You want Black Friday deals without the 3 a.m. wake-up call or the crowds • You're trying to save money this season but feel overwhelmed by all the "deals" • You've been tempted by Buy Now Pay Later but aren't sure if it's smart or stupid • You want to give great gifts without blowing your budget (or your sanity) • You believe there's a smarter way to shop than fighting strangers for discounted TVs What's Your Black Friday Strategy? Are you a doorbuster warrior, an online deal hunter, or someone who avoids the whole thing? Drop your approach in the comments—and if you've got a Black Friday horror story (or victory), the basement wants to hear it.

Waar ze afgelopen jaar nog voor 10 miljard euro aan bommen en tanks verkochten, ziet het Duitse defensiebedrijf Rheinmetall dat in 2030 toenemen naar 50 miljard euro. En daarbij gaan ze uit van een aantal scenario's, die niet mals zijn. En die ook nog eens opgesteld zijn in samenwerking met geheime diensten. Wat die zijn en wat dat voor defensie-aandelen betekent, hoor je in deze aflevering. Verder zwaaien we alwéér een AEX-bedrijf uit. AkzoNobel heeft een fusiepartner gevonden in het Amerikaanse Axalta. Samen worden ze een verf- en coatingbedrijf van zo'n 17 miljard dollar. En op termijn moet het dan ook gedaan zijn met de notering in Amsterdam. We zoeken voor je uit of je AkzoNobel straks moet gaan missen. En je hoort over de topman van Google. Zelfs hij heeft het over een mogelijke AI-bubbel. En hij heeft een onheilspellende boodschap. Als die bubbel knapt, gaat iedereen dat voelen. Maar hij vindt al die miljardeninvesteringen dan wel weer geheel terecht.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

(Note: A version of this episode originally ran in 2022.)Every time you shop online and make it to the checkout screen, you see those colorful pastel buttons at the bottom. Affirm. Klarna. Afterpay. Asking: Do you want to split your payment into interest-free installments? No credit check needed. Get what you want, right now. That temptation got shoppers like Amelia Schmarzo into some money trouble. Back in 2022, she maxed out her credit card after a month of buying now and paying later. She's not alone. Buy now, pay later is everywhere now. And you can finance almost anything with it. Your clothes, your furniture … even your lips. But if these companies don't charge interest, how do they make money? In short, people buy more stuff using these services and so sellers are willing to pay up. Which makes buy now, pay later, something of a threat to credit card companies. Cue the tussle for your impulse-buying clicks. Today on the show, we find out how the companies work, who's most likely to use these services and who's getting a good deal. And a warning: those little loans will soon be on your credit report. Subscribe to Planet Money+Listen free: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the NPR app or anywhere you get podcasts.Facebook / Instagram / TikTok / Our weekly Newsletter.This episode was produced by Emma Peaslee, engineered by Josh Newell and edited by Molly Messick.

How Assembled systematized founder-led LinkedIn content | Ryan Wang

Category Visionaries

Assembled is the AI customer support platform powering hundreds of modern enterprises including Stripe, Robinhood, Salesforce, and Ashley Furniture. The company's largest customer operates a 20,000-person contact center. With products spanning AI chat and voice agents that resolve 70-80% of tickets to sophisticated workforce management and forecasting systems, Assembled's core thesis challenges the industry narrative: the best support teams orchestrate humans and AI in perfect balance rather than replacing one with the other. In a recent episode of Category Visionaries, we sat down with Ryan Wang, CEO and Co-Founder of Assembled, to explore the company's journey from eight months to first customer to becoming the infrastructure behind customer experiences at scale. Topics Discussed: The reality gap between AI support demos and production deployment Why sophisticated buyers now demand quality benchmarks and latency metrics over feature lists The hidden complexity in contact center work: KYC compliance, fraud review, and multi-system workflows How the Klarna "fire everyone" approach failed and what it reveals about the market Patrick and John Collison's all-company support rotations at Stripe The product-market fit question that ended six months of wrong direction Enterprise destiny baked into early product decisions Converting LinkedIn discomfort into a systematic storytelling engine Path dependence from workforce management to AI automation products Why customer support problems rhyme with operations challenges across industries GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Quality-first positioning wins when buyers move past demo amazement: Ryan observed a critical market shift. Sophisticated buyers now run rigorous bake-offs with training data variability and ask for latency metrics, quality benchmarks, and production performance data. The last three AI deals Assembled closed required detailed competitive evaluations. When messaging emphasizes cost reduction over quality improvement, you lose credibility with buyers who understand that turning off support entirely would be free—they're investing in lifetime value and loyalty creation. Position around the buyer's actual objective hierarchy: quality first, efficiency as validation. The product-market fit question that encodes your entire GTM strategy: Ryan's co-founder asked prospects "What is software that you must have or you hate your options?" This single question revealed multiple strategic insights simultaneously: you're targeting painkillers in established categories, pursuing replacement sales against weak incumbents, and entering markets with demonstrated willingness to pay. For Assembled, this naturally surfaced workforce management—a must-have category with Windows 95-era tools serving 20,000-person teams. The question's elegance is how it filters for product-market fit and GTM approach in one conversation. Access the best through respect signals, not connections: When hiring his first engineering executive at 15 people, Ryan got an introduction to a former VP of Engineering at Facebook, then explicitly signaled time respect: requested only 15 minutes, clarified he wasn't recruiting, offered availability "Saturday 8pm or anytime," and had specific questions prepared. The call happened at an odd Saturday time. The insight wasn't just learning about "Dual Lands" leadership (a Magic: The Gathering reference)—it was understanding how exceptional minds construct mental models. You can reach these people through investor networks or multi-hop introductions, but earning their time requires demonstrating you'll use it surgically. Recognize when you're not "the company" to avoid strategic errors: A top recruiting firm told Ryan "you're not Stripe, so you can't sell people like you're Stripe." At any moment, one Silicon Valley company occupies a unique position—Stripe then, OpenAI now—where normal rules don't apply. That company can eliminate product managers, remove all titles, or make unconventional demands. Understanding you're not in that position prevents catastrophic hiring missteps. Ryan had to recalibrate from Stripe-era patterns where his recruiter became Anthropic's president and his onboarding buddy became OpenAI's president. Your positioning must match your actual market gravity, not your aspirational tier. Systematize founder storytelling to compound credibility: Ryan solved founder marketing discomfort by reframing from self-promotion to being an intermediary—sharing customer stories from Armenia, banking conferences, and global contact centers rather than broadcasting opinions. The system: Friday morning sessions with prompts ("interesting things from this week," "near-death moments," "challenges from 1-10M to 10-20M ARR," "why London now?"), team filters for compelling angles, three drafts weekly, then editing. The Science of Storytelling principles apply: narratives demonstrating lived experience build more credibility than thought leadership. This creates a flywheel where audience members surface their own stories in comments and DMs, feeding future content. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.
