Preet Majithia takes over the CITIUS MAG Podcast in today's episode to sit down with Laurent Meuwly, the head coach for sprints, hurdles, and relays at the Dutch Olympic Training Centre in Papendal.He's been with the Dutch program since 2019, and the group he has built includes Femke Broeders-Bol, Lieke Klaver, and Nadine Visser, along with a rotating cast of international athletes, including world indoor 400m champion Lurdes Gloria Manuel and Australian sprint star Torrie Lewis.Under his guidance, Dutch relay teams have become a dominant force on the world stage, and his athletes have collected world titles, Olympic medals, and European and national records across the flat 400, the 400 hurdles, and now, in Femke's first season of competition at the distance, the 800m.When Femke Broeders-Bol made the decision to move up to the 800 this season, it was Laurent who had already been thinking about this moment since he first started working with her. He actually talked her out of making the switch a year earlier. She wanted to go right after the Paris Olympics. He convinced her to stay in the 400 hurdles for one more season, win a second world title, and leave that chapter on a high note.Then came the transition. This interview was done one day after Femke ran 1:54.71, putting her within the top 10 on the all-time 800m list.Laurent is candid about everything: what he kept from Femke's 400m hurdles training and what he changed, why her mileage stays around 60 kilometers a week, the mental adjustment of still being only halfway through the race after one full lap, and why the world record conversation will eventually shift from who breaks it to conversations about 1:52.Everyone's been interested in the Femke 800m transition, and we've got the inside scoop here.____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: OLIPOP's Citrus Rush packs apple, lemon, lime, and orange juices with 60mg of green tea caffeine for a bold, refreshing blast of flavor ready to fuel your next adventure.

Nous sommes aujourd'hui avec Romain Taieb, le fondateur de Doki Doki, le premier hand roll bar de la capitale. Serveur, puis manager et directeur de restaurant chez Paris Society, où il participe à la création du Piaf et de Bambini, il vole de ses propres ailes en 2021 pour importer en France un concept découvert à New York. Quatre adresses parisiennes plus tard, la marque vise les 5 millions d'euros de chiffre d'affaires et prépare ses premières ouvertures à l'étranger. Pour co-animer ce nouvel épisode de Business of Bouffe, Philibert est accompagné d'Elisa Gautier, la fondatrice du restaurant Kiosk et de la newsletter Chaleur Tournante.Dans ce 1er chapitre, Romain Taieb remonte le fil d'un parcours qui n'avait rien d'écrit. Une enfance en Afrique de l'Ouest, une arrivée à Paris à sept ans, la perte prématurée de ses parents, puis huit années à vivre du poker avant de tout reprendre à zéro. Il entre alors dans la restauration par la plus petite porte, en brasserie, et y découvre un métier de courage qui le passionne. Manager, puis directeur, il enchaîne les univers jusqu'au coup de fil de Laurent de Gourcuff qui le mène chez Paris Society, et jusqu'à ce comptoir new-yorkais où tout se joue. Hébergé par Acast.

1995. Laurent a 27 ans, une vie qui déborde, et une overdose de rencontres qui ne mènent nulle part. Il vient tout juste de décider d'arrêter les frais. Deux jours après, il pousse la porte d'une chambre d'hôpital bondée et tombe sur une inconnue, à contre-jour, auréolée de lumière. Pas de cœur qui s'affole, pas de frisson de film. Juste le temps qui se fige. Ils s'embrasseront trois jours plus tard dans un hall d'immeuble, à cause d'un code d'interphone. Trente ans après, il n'a toujours pas d'explication à ce halo. Et si ce n'était pas un coup de foudre, c'était quoi ?C'est l'histoire du premier amour de Laurent.Le premier amour, on ne l'oublie jamais. Il laisse une empreinte qui guide tous les suivants.Premier amour, une création Crush Le Podcast & La Chose Étrange Imaginé, écrit et animé par : Marie-Charlotte Danchin & Quitterie ChadefauxProduction : Clap AudioCoordination : Lucie Coquart Musique, montage et mixage : Alice Krief☀️ Abonne-toi aux podcasts : CRUSH et LA CHOSE ÉTRANGE et mets 5 ⭐️☀️ Abonne-toi aux comptes Instagram
Recorded at the SolarPower Summit in Brussels this conversation between Laurent Segalen and Jonathan Gifford examines why batteries have become one of the fastest growing and most strategically important technologies shaping the global energy transition. Jonathan Gifford is the co-founder of Climate Copy and a wonderful storyteller. Laurent unpacks how rapid battery innovation is transforming electric mobility, renewable energy markets, charging infrastructure, and the future operation of electricity grids. It has been only nine years since Hornsdale (Tesla – South Australia) 100MW-130MWh made of EV batteries cracked the code. Six months later in China the Jiangsu Zhenjiang first 100MW LFP battery was installed. In Europe and the US, the first large LFP batteries were installed in 2021-2022. Now, LFP has a 95% market share in BESS around the world. For EVs, it is 55% LFP – 45% NMC (80% in China). By the end of 2026, we will reach 500GW globally and great forecasters like Jan Rosenow expect 1,000GW by 2030. We see longer duration and the advent of sodium batteries. Laurent outlines why electrification is entering a new phase of acceleration. He highlights how falling battery costs, rapid improvements in electric vehicle technology, and the widening economic gap between electricity and fossil fuels are reshaping expectations across the transport sector. This shift is not limited to passenger cars; it increasingly extends to commercial fleets and heavy-duty trucking, where electric trucks are becoming more competitive thanks to lower operating costs, reduced maintenance needs, and improving charging infrastructure. He also discusses the growing importance of stationary battery storage in enabling high-power EV charging, increasing grid flexibility, and supporting higher penetration of renewable energy. Finally, he explained why Hydrogen will never work in long haul transportation. Simply too expensive.
Bienvenue dans les mercredis de l'été, le rendez-vous hebdomadaire pour vous faire (re)découvrir un épisode.Cet été, j'ai eu envie de mettre en lumière une approche, un parcours, un métier encore plus singulier que les autres. Voici Laurent Cotta, conservateur en charge du département des arts graphiques du Palais Galliera, Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.Lieu emblématique pour tous les connaisseurs, mais loin d'être élitiste puisqu'il appartient à la ville et a donc une mission de service public. Mais ce n'est pas au Palais Galliera que j'ai rencontré Laurent Cotta ! Il m'a accueillie dans un lieu exceptionnel — les réserves et ateliers de restauration et de conservation du musée, quelque part dans Paris.Installés dans l'une des réserves, en sous-sol, nous avons parlé des devoirs et fonctions d'un conservateur de musée, du statut inaliénable des œuvres, de la construction d'une exposition ; mais aussi de vanités, de trésors, de paradoxes, d'ego, et même de la robe de Marilyn Monroe portée par Kim Kardashian au Met Gala.Hébergé par Ausha.

Fiscal sponsorship can give independent filmmakers access to tax-deductible donations, in-kind contributions, corporate partnerships, and other fundraising opportunities without changing how they monetize their films after completion. Host GG Hawkins talks with filmmaker Lindsay St. Laurent and New Hollywood's Ian Mark about how fiscal sponsorship works, how to approach donors, and why building sustainable working conditions into an indie production matters. They also discuss tax incentives, pre-production strategies that can prevent burnout, protecting cast and crew on low-budget sets, and creating long-term relationships with supporters. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guests Lindsay St. Laurent and Ian Mark discuss... How fiscal sponsorship allows filmmakers to fundraise through a nonprofit while maintaining the ability to operate commercially once the film is completed Why tax-deductible donations can give filmmakers a different fundraising pitch than traditional equity investment How in-kind donations can help cover production needs such as equipment, food, catering, and crafty How fiscal sponsorship can add legitimacy when approaching companies and potential partners New Hollywood's requirements for sponsored productions, including reasonable workdays, adequate turnaround times, and real meal breaks Why sustainable set culture and crew wellbeing can improve both the production experience and the finished film How table reads, storyboards, and strong pre-production planning can help filmmakers avoid long shoot days and burnout Why directors should communicate with department heads early and build schedules that make their jobs easier The importance of considering the emotional demands placed on actors when scheduling difficult scenes Why cast and crew members should understand their rights, establish boundaries, and read their contracts even on non-union productions How a more competitive grant landscape and changing corporate priorities are affecting independent film financing Why filmmakers raising larger budgets should research production tax credits and rebates as part of their financing strategy How to approach potential donors by focusing on genuine relationships rather than treating every conversation as a one-time ask Why filmmakers should present their projects as already having momentum rather than appearing dependent on a single donor How getting the first company, donor, or organization to say yes can make additional partnerships easier to secure Memorable Quotes: “So you get to fundraise as a nonprofit when you're starting, and then still operate as a for-profit entity once you have a film that you're ready to take to market.” “Just for our listeners, like if somebody is pushing you in a way that is not okay, you can say no, even if it's non-union.” “But like nobody is going to advocate for you on those sets except yourself, so it is good to know your rights.” “The first yes is the hardest one to get. Once you get that yes, the other yeses just start coming.” Guests: Lindsay St. Laurent Ian Mark Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web: No Film School Facebook: No Film School on Facebook Twitter: No Film School on Twitter YouTube: No Film School on YouTube Instagram: No Film School on Instagram
Laurent de Cherisey was fresh out of business school and looking forward to earning a lot of money when his sister had a car accident that left her severely disabled. This led him to rethink everything. Including finding faith. He founded what has become a string of houses where accident victims and non-accident victims live side by side. They're called the Simon of Cyrene houses, named after the man Jesus chose to help him carry his cross. The project was financed in part by the box office receipts for the hit comedy Untouchable at the request of the aristocratic tetraplegic accident victim whose story inspired the film. We talk to Laurent about his journey and to some Simon of Cyrene house-dwellers about what's good about these places - why it works bringing together people of very different social classes, ethnic and religious backgrounds and, above all, very different physical and mental capacities.

Cybersecurity is one of the hardest markets to hire in, and a lot of the difficulty comes from how companies approach the process. Candidates are still being filtered on degrees, previous employers, and years of experience- signals that are particularly weak in a field where the best work is confidential, and skills need updating constantly. Good people are getting screened out, and what looks like a talent shortage can often be a matching problem. So, what changes when companies stop filtering on the usual proxies and start hiring on what candidates can actually do? My guest this week is Laurent Halimi, CEO and founder of Cyberr.ai, a professional network for cybersecurity professionals. In our conversation, Laurent explains why the skills shortage in cybersecurity is only half the truth, where the bias in hiring really comes from, and what it takes to judge candidates on skills that you can actually verify. In the interview, we discuss: How AI is changing what cybersecurity professionals do and the new roles it is creating A real skill gap at the senior level and a matching problem everywhere else The certification race and why it is losing relevance Why hiring in cybersecurity is different from other technical fields Trust, stale skills, and work that stays invisible Where the bias in hiring algorithms really comes from Practical steps for judging candidates on verifiable skills Anonymous applications and giving candidates control of their profiles Will skills finally beat pedigree, and what does the future look like?

In March 2026, Laurent was invited by Jan Rosenow at Oriel College, Oxford, for a public debate on the energy transition. Held in the College's historic library, the discussion brought together contrasting perspectives on one of today's defining challenges. Jan Rosenow, Professor of Energy and Climate Policy, is renowned for his work on energy efficiency, electrification, and the transition to net-zero energy systems.Laurent opened by introducing the "Aristotelian Triangle" of the energy debate—Ethos, Logos, and Pathos—arguing that values, evidence, and emotion all shape how people interpret energy issues. Responding to Jan's distinction between energy addition and energy transition, Laurent made two key points.First, history shows that energy forecasts have repeatedly underestimated transformative innovations, from shale gas and LEDs to solar, electric vehicles, batteries, and AI-driven data centres. His conclusion: humility is essential when predicting structural change.Second, Laurent presented his "Diocletian Tetrarchy of Energy," pairing Vaclav Smil with Clayton Christensen to represent continuity versus disruption, alongside Daniel Yergin and Michael Liebreich to illustrate the roles of markets, geopolitics, and industrial transformation. He described himself as roughly 70/30 in favour of technological disruption while acknowledging the inertia of existing energy systems.The discussion also examined the cost of ideology, arguing that opposition to technologies such as offshore wind or nuclear power can shape investment, electricity prices, and energy affordability. It concluded by exploring industrial policy, energy security, and how nations should balance resilience, competitiveness, and comparative advantage in a changing geopolitical landscape.Although the formal debate lasted just over an hour, the conversation continued long afterwards. This episode captures part of those fascinating exchanges.

Laurent and Gerard set out to explore one of the biggest ideas emerging alongside the excitement around the SpaceX IPO: datacenters in space. To refuel those satellites emerged the concept of an orbital grid where beams are directed to provide electricity to space crafts, like a gas station in space. It may sound like science fiction, but it is rapidly becoming a medium-term engineering challenge being tackled by some of the brightest minds of our generation. One of those pioneers is Andrew Rush, CEO of Star Catcher, a company building what will become the world's first orbital energy grid—a network of satellites capable of wirelessly transmitting power to other spacecraft on demand hundreds of kilometres away. Andrew is the man for the mission: he previously served on the Technology, Innovation and Engineering Committee of the NASA Advisory Council, helping advise NASA's Administrator, the Office of the Chief Technologist, and its Mission Directorates. Before founding Star Catcher, he successfully built and exited two leading space companies: Redwire and Made-In-Space. His vision is ambitious: create an "energy-as-a-service" platform for space. Rather than forcing every satellite to carry increasingly large solar arrays and batteries, spacecraft could draw power from a shared orbital network whenever they need it. If successful, this infrastructure could become as fundamental to the space economy as the electrical grid is on Earth. Investors are taking notice. Star Catcher has raised approximately $88 million to date, including a recent $65 million Series A led by B Capital, Shield Capital, and Cerberus Ventures. Andrew believes SpaceX's reusable rockets have dramatically reduced the cost of reaching orbit, unleashing an explosion in satellite deployment. The next major bottleneck, however, is no longer launch—it's power. Star Catcher aims to build the energy infrastructure that enables the next generation of space-based industries. In this conversation, we explore what's real, what's possible, and what's still myth when it comes to energy in space. We also discuss why technologies that once seemed decades away may arrive much sooner than most people expect. The future of the space economy isn't just about getting to orbit—it's about powering everything that comes next. Live long and prosper.

In June 2026, Gerard and Laurent recorded a live episode at DLA Piper's Charging Up Capital 2026 Global Energy and Digital Investments Forum with Rowan Parkhouse, Managing Director at Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP). CIP has emerged as one of the world's leading specialist energy transition investors, ranking among the top infrastructure fund managers globally by both assets under management and fundraising. So, what is CIP's Playbook? We explore how infrastructure investing has evolved over the past five years—what has become easier, what has become harder, and where the biggest opportunities now lie. The conversation covers data centres, batteries, grids, transmission, renewables, EVs, independent power producers, and CIP's relationship with Ørsted. We also discuss some of the most important questions shaping energy infrastructure today: the impact of AI-driven power demand, whether grid constraints have become a bigger bottleneck than generation, the changing political priorities around energy security and competitiveness, the rationale behind CIP's acquisition of Ørsted's European onshore business, and the future of energy storage. A fascinating deep dive into how one of the world's most successful energy transition investors is helping build the infrastructure of the future. We would like to thank Natasha Luther-Jones and Nicolas Stofenmacher for a flawless organisation and the impressive array of talents around the table.

This interview is with Laurent Montalieu of Soléna Estate. In this interview, Laurent discusses his journey in creating a multi-generational legacy within the Oregon wine industry.Laurent talks about his beginnings in wine. He started out studying engineering in France until he switched to the neighboring Bourdeaux's Institute of Oenology because it looked like they were having more fun over there. While studying, Laurent did many internships. One took him to Napa Valley which gave him an appreciation for American business management. Freshly graduated, Laurent got a call from Bridgeview Winery to work with them and finally made his way to Oregon.Laurent discusses creating NW Wine Company and its progression throughout the years. The property started as an old pie factory and was originally used to make his own wine. It turned out that people wanted Laurent to make wine for their brands as well. From there, Laurent was the winemaker for many different brands and NW Wine Company was born in 2003. After a creating a successful business with high demand, Laurent sold the company in 2021.Later in the interview, Laurent talks about his current focus, Soléna Estate. Purchasing the property in 1999 and planting vineyards as well as living on it, Soléna Estate was overshadowed by the beast of NW Wine Company in Laurent's mind. Now, Soléna Estate is Laurent's main focus as he nurtures the vineyard and his daughter Soléna to become the next leader of the estate.This interview was conducted by Rich Schmidt at Soléna Estate in Yamhill on July 15, 2026.

C'était le premier juin 2008 à Paris : celui que l'on avait surnommé à ses débuts« le petit prince de la mode » nous quittait à l'âge de septante et un an, des suites d'un cancer du cerveau. Arrivé dans la capitale française au milieu des années cinquante, il a été l'un de ceux qui ont le mieux capté les bouleversements sociaux qui vont déferler au cours de la décennie suivante. Et surtout, il saura les traduire dans ses créations « Chanel a libéré la femme, il lui a donné le pouvoir », dit-on. Sa rencontre avec Pierre Berger aura permis la naissance de ce qui deviendra un empire de la haute-couture et de la mode. Une vie entre sex drog et rock'n'roll et un nom mondialement connu, aujourd'hui, synonyme d'une façon de vivre que le commerce et la finance n'ont pas tout à fait expurgé d'une certaine idée de la liberté. Un sigle suffit, trois lettres : YSL pour Yves saint Laurent.

Gerard and Laurent first welcomed David Scaysbrook to the podcast in Episode 66, back in January 2022, for a conversation about the future of 24/7 power. Four years later, it felt like the right moment to reconnect and take stock of how profoundly the market has evolved. Since then, Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners has continued to establish itself as one of the leading specialist investors in the energy transition, orchestrating and deploying billions of dollars of capital through project finance structures and platform companies. As of today, the firm has participated in more than $27 billion of transactions, developed or acquired over 240 projects, and built a portfolio exceeding 40 GW across the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Our discussion traces Quinbrook's own transformation alongside that of the broader energy landscape. We revisit the firm's strategic exit from wind generation, marked by the sale of its Scout platform to Brookfield in 2023 for more than $1 billion, and explore how its focus has shifted toward utility-scale solar and long-duration energy storage across the United States and Australia. More fundamentally, David explains how Quinbrook has moved beyond the era of single-technology investment funds. Instead of financing isolated generation assets, the firm now builds integrated, multi-technology platforms designed to solve specific customer problems. The objective is no longer simply to inject generic electrons into the grid, but to work backwards from the needs of large electricity consumers—particularly hyperscale datacenter operators—and develop bespoke energy solutions around them. This philosophy is illustrated by Rowan, Quinbrook's datacenter development platform, which attracted a $1 billion co-investment from Blackstone. As hyperscalers race to deploy new computing capacity, speed has become the defining constraint. Waiting for the grid is no longer an option, making "bring your own power" an increasingly compelling proposition. The conversation also explores how advances in software and long-duration energy storage are improving behind-the-meter performance, allowing energy infrastructure to become more resilient, flexible, and economically attractive. Ultimately, David argues that we are witnessing a profound shift in thinking. In a world increasingly captivated by virtual technologies and digital intelligence, the greatest opportunities may lie in investing in the physical infrastructure that makes them all possible.“Let's get Physical”

On Jacobin Radio, the team behind the People's Game podcast continue their unique coverage of the 2026 World Cup, analyzing the men's football games on the field as well as the political, social and economic subtexts of the world's most popular sporting event. Guest hosts Alan Minsky and Meleiza Figueroa are joined by Laurent Dubois, a professor of history at the University of Virginia. Laurent has two bodies of work of equal importance to the People's Game: one on the history and culture of the Atlantic world, focusing on the Caribbean, Haiti, North America, and France, the second on fútbol, with a focus on the game in Africa, France, and the African diaspora. Laurent sings the praises of the French national team, who remain the favorites to win the tournament, celebrates a strong showing by Haiti, marvels at the brilliance of African diasporic players on countless teams, and explains why African soccer has developed so spectacularly in recent decades. Then we're joined by Hartzell Gray, a DSA- and PDA-endorsed candidate for Congress and Missouri's 4th District. Until recently, Hartzell was the voice of Kansas City's Major League Soccer team. He shares his thoughts about late capitalism's greatest spectacle coming to his hometown — including the harrowing ICE raids across the Kansas City metropolitan area that coincided with the tournament. Jacobin Radio with Suzi Weissman features conversations with leading thinkers and activists, with a focus on labor, the economy, and protest movements.
Gerard and Laurent welcome Michel Boutouil, co-founder and CEO of Polarise, a leading European AI infrastructure provider and NVIDIA Cloud Partner based in Berlin. After discussing about what happens outside of a datacenter, it is time to dive inside one. Polarise is one of the few genuinely European NeoCloud companies — essentially a European counterpart to CoreWeave — specializing in GPU infrastructure for AI inference. Through its partnership with NVIDIA, Polarise designs its datacenters around the GPU rack itself, using liquid cooling from the outset rather than starting with a traditional real estate-first approach. The company has already developed AI factories in Germany, Norway and the UK. In the conversation, we explore the growing commoditization of large language models and why the real long-term value may lie in AI factories — facilities that are fundamentally different from conventional datacenters. Given Europe's notoriously long grid-connection timelines, Polarise focuses on refurbishing brownfield sites with under 50MW of grid access instead of pursuing massive gigawatt-scale campuses. It's a pragmatic “pod” strategy: adapt to the grid's constraints rather than try to reshape the entire energy system. We also tackle the thorny issue of digital sovereignty. With the U.S. CLOUD Act allowing U.S. authorities access to data managed by American tech companies, it is fair to ask what hyperscalers are doing with European data — and whether Europe needs its own sovereign AI infrastructure. Polarise has secured €1 billion in backing from Swiss investor SWI Stoneweg Icona, but even that is modest compared with the hyperscalers' spending power. For comparison, SpaceX has reportedly invested around $40 billion in Colossus 1 and 2 alone. So, what does the future of the European AI ecosystem look like? Michel's answer is clear: Europe should not try to outspend China or the United States head-on. Instead, it should play to its strengths — smart execution, agility, flexibility, and the ability to learn quickly from the mistakes being made elsewhere. “Today's show is supported by the BMW Foundation Herbert Quandt. The BMW Foundation unites leaders across sectors to develop solutions that foster an innovative economy and a future-proof society. A key focus is "Energy Transition & Climate Change," where the Foundation drives "International collaboration to accelerate the energy transition." With rising energy demands from AI and data centres, new partnerships, effective collaboration, and the exchange of science-based solutions and strategies are essential.”
