Podcasts about Laurent

In our series: How AI is revolutionising Energy, Laurent and Gerard dive deep into the intricate corner of Energy Management system for large industrial clusters.  You would believe that legacy providers such as Siemens, Schneider Electric or Hitachi would provide such solutions. They are not. Indeed, they provide legacy Scada systems which are hardware linked and bottom up. There is no glue to optimise them as a group and deliver access to Energy markets.  Two young Belgian engineers have decided to address this blind spot and come up with a new generation of software: AI powered EMS. That is what Companion Energy has achieved. We bring in its CEO Thomas Vyncke.  Most of the European energy conversation still focuses on front-of-the-meter flexibility: batteries, renewables and other assets participating in wholesale and balancing markets. Thomas' thesis is that an equally important — and much less developed — opportunity sits behind the meter, inside large industrial and commercial companies.  The problem is complexity. Every enterprise site is different: different tariffs, contracts, generation assets, batteries, EV fleets, boilers, industrial processes, grid constraints and operating requirements. The opportunity therefore isn't simply to buy cheaper electricity or optimise one battery. It is to continuously optimise the entire energy system of the site against its operational and financial reality.  That is what Vyncke and co-founder Jonas Verstraeten are building with Companion.energy, founded in 2022. The platform provides transparency on energy costs and automates optimisation across complex behind-the-meter environments.  The company says it currently optimises more than €500m of energy spend and 350+ MW of assets across Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Romania, working with companies including Proximus, TotalEnergies and Port of Antwerp-Bruges. It recently raised a €7.8m seed round to support international expansion.  And it is just the beginning…   With the energy industry's largest proprietary dataset, world-class experts and decision-grade models, all powered by Synoptic AI, Wood Mackenzie delivers Intelligence Connected across the energy and natural resources landscape.

There is simply too much greenwashing happening. Environmental reporting has become a meaningless bureaucracy feeding a fictional reality through glossy reports that nobody reads anymore.  But things are changing; the impact of climate change (heatwaves, floods) is hitting back at governments trying to ignore it. Some BigTech, historically in favour of renewable energy are now busy building the biggest gas plants in the world for their datacenters, while pretending still to be on track for their “net zero” commitments.  They maintain the fiction through carbon accounting tricks, maximisation of loopholes and heavy PR campaigns run by the American Petroleum Institute and McKinsey.  Fortunately, there are a lot of companies which start to see the direction of travel: a more granular way of accounting for Energy and Emissions. Not by the year, where summer solar can be accounted for winter consumption, but by the month and soon by the hour.   Hourly matching is new, tough, but far from unsurmountable. That is what new companies such as Renewabl are enabling: by cutting though the bureaucracy and Excel Sheets, and helping the forward thinkers to present, report and optimise their energy and emissions profile.  Laurent and Gerard have the privilege of receiving Carolyn Addy, Head of Commercial at Renewabl, to talk about the new trends, the innovations, and how progressively, we are entering a more transparent and efficient world.  We talk about immediate non-regret solutions and the impact of AI in the process. We also dive into how hourly PPAs are progressively making their way into the market, and whatever perceived additional work they require, in fact they provide better hedges against volatile energy costs.

Rendez-vous incontournable des amoureux de la musique FUNK Il était une fois, mes premiers 45T, maxis, albums, mes premières cassettes audio, il me manquait quelque chose, une expérience radio, elle allait venir, il a fallu se présenter, ce fut chose faite et hop : L'aventure allait commencer en 1982, je m'en souviens très bien, les émissions Funk se succédaient le week end, c'était de la folie, premiers calages de disques vinyles et premières interventions au micro. La toute première radio s'appelait RDP Radio des Poumons 92 mhz, de bons souvenirs avant de connaître d'autres horizons. Nous sommes en 1983, je débarque sur une radio beaucoup plus importante à l'époque avec à l'intérieur une équipe d'animateurs qui pour la plupart officiaient aussi en discothèque, cette station de radio avait pour nom Contact Fm sur le 104 mhz. Il a fallu se faire une place et ce fut chose faite avec une émission Funk Night Club le vendredi, le samedi il existait une autre émission Funk appelée Dérapages Nocturnes animée par Pascal , belle rencontre, contraint d'abandonner pour raisons personnelles quelques temps après cette émission, je décide avec son accord de reprendre celle-ci, il était inconcevable à l'époque que cette émission DN puisse disparaître de la grille des programmes de la radio, les années passent, Contact FM devient Radio Mandarine 95.2 mhz. Au milieu des années 80 l'occasion se présente et j'organise des soirées Funk dans une discothèque Nantaise située à la Beaujoire : le New Cleef , de bons souvenirs mais aussi de belles rencontres. Fin Janvier 1988, Radio Mandarine cesse d'émettre, une page se tourne, l'émission DN reprendra sur quelques radios : Saga 98 Mhz, Radio Fréquence bleue 102.1 Mhz en Bretagne , Radio Alternantes 98.1 Mhz. Janvier 1996 l'émission DN arrive sur Turbulence Radio 93.4 mhz qui deviendra par la suite Radio NTI en Janvier 2001, l'émission cessera d'émettre sur NTI le samedi 24 Juillet 2004. 8 ans ½ là encore de bons souvenirs. Nouveau départ pour les DN en Septembre 2004 sur une Radio locale Nantaise SUN 93 FM où je retrouve la couleur musicale que j'avais connu une bonne vingtaine d'années auparavant sur Contact Fm puis Radio Mandarine.

Where Are BESS Making Money? Gerard and Laurent had the pleasure of welcoming Ed Porter Director Europe at Modo Energy for an insightful discussion on battery profitability and the evolving economics of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).  Modo Energy is a fast-growing data analytics and market intelligence platform helping energy professionals benchmark asset performance, forecast revenues and evaluate investments in renewable energy and grid-scale battery storage.  Ed outlines three stages in the development of a battery market:Stage 1 – Pre-saturation: Batteries can achieve attractive payback periods, sometimes as short as three years, primarily through ancillary services.Stage 2 – Wholesale market competition: As ancillary service revenues become more competitive, batteries increasingly rely on wholesale market opportunities, as seen in Australia, Texas and Great Britain.Stage 3 – Sophisticated grid services: Once wholesale markets become saturated, batteries move towards more advanced and specialised grid services (voltage, inertia...).  The technology is evolving rapidly, as is the deployment of new battery capacity. This makes future revenues increasingly difficult to predict, particularly because of the cannibalisation effect: as more batteries enter a market, they compete for the same revenue opportunities and can progressively reduce market spreads.  From Australia to PJM, ERCOT and CAISO, and across Great Britain, Spain and Germany, we explore the fundamentals driving battery profitability in different markets.   With CAPEX around $500,000/MW, a decent return might be in the region of $70,000–80,000/MW. Yet the picture varies dramatically by market. Poland can deliver around $300,000/MW, while ERCOT and Australia's NEM are currently below $30,000/MW.  These differences highlight why investors need to look beyond headline revenues and consider market structure, competition, saturation, technology and future revenue cannibalisation.  We also discuss Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) and explore the deeper market and technological levers that can make batteries a profitable long-term investment.   A compelling conversation on where BESS is making money today—and, perhaps more importantly, where the opportunities may lie tomorrow. With the energy industry's largest proprietary dataset, world-class experts and decision-grade models, all powered by Synoptic AI, Wood Mackenzie delivers Intelligence Connected across the energy and natural resources landscape.

After a weaker first half of the year, August brought several rounds that felt much larger than what the ecosystem is used to seeing.The discussion starts with Gravis Robotics' CHF 200M Series A and what it says about physical AI, ambition, and the old Swiss habit of selling too early. Sophie and Laurent also look at SWISSto12's CHF 70M Series C and Adaptyv Bio's CHF 40M Series A, asking what these cases reveal about deeptech, commercial traction, and the kind of capital needed to scale.The episode then widens into a bigger question for the Swiss ecosystem. Switzerland has the talent and the technology. The challenge is whether enough capital, operator experience and ambition can come together to turn more of these companies into global champions. The conversation also touches on the future of SaaS, the rise of AI-native software, and why the next phase of startup growth may look very different from the last one.The cover portrait was edited by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.smartportrait.io⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.‍Don't forget to give us a follow on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Youtube ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠so you can always stay up to date with our latest initiatives.

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.À travers cet épisode, nous cherchons à comprendre comment Romain Taieb a transformé une intuition new-yorkaise en un modèle de restauration rentable, pensé dès le premier jour pour être dupliqué partout dans le monde.Pour cela, Romain 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.Ainsi, on évoque la manière dont l'intuition devient réalité. Romain trouve son local au rez-de-chaussée de la Poste du Louvre, sans extraction ni fonds de commerce, et lance le projet avec 350 000 euros. Il détaille ce qui fait le concept : un sourcing obsessionnel, une carte courte, un grand bar en béton coulé et un service sans serveur où tout se prépare devant le client. Ouvert en janvier 2022, Doki Doki trouve son public immédiatement, et il l'assume : tout était pensé dès le départ pour être dupliqué.Enfin, Romain déroule l'enchaînement des ouvertures, du flagship de la rue Marbeuf aux adresses de la rue des Martyrs et de Neuilly, sans masquer les mois de doute traversés. Il ouvre ensuite grand les livres, avec la transparence qu'on aime ici : chiffre d'affaires, EBITDA, ratios et levée de fonds. Il évoque une concurrence qu'il juge stimulante et son choix de mener le marché plutôt que de le suivre. Il dévoile enfin la suite : Genève, Nice, les franchises à Sofia, Marrakech et Abidjan, un coffee shop, et une ambition assumée, devenir le leader mondial du hand roll. Hébergé par Acast.

Fiscal sponsorship can give independent filmmakers access to tax-deductible donations, in-kind contributions, grants, and other resources without changing how they ultimately monetize their films. No Film School's GG Hawkins speaks with filmmaker Lindsey St. Laurent and New Hollywood's Ian Mark about how fiscal sponsorship works, how filmmakers can make their projects more attractive to donors, and why sustainable working conditions should be built into an indie film's financial plan from the beginning. They also discuss practical ways to prevent burnout, make microbudget sets more efficient, leverage tax incentives, and build the relationships that can help filmmakers get their projects made. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guests Lindsey St. Laurent and Ian Mark discuss... What fiscal sponsorship is and how it allows filmmakers to raise tax-deductible donations while still operating as a for-profit project when the film goes to market Why fiscal sponsorship can make donating to an independent film more appealing than a traditional equity investment How in-kind donations such as equipment, food, and other production resources can reduce a film's cash expenses Why fiscal sponsorship can add legitimacy when filmmakers approach corporations and local businesses for support New Hollywood's requirements for fiscally sponsored projects, including 12-hour maximum average workdays, 11-hour turnarounds, and protected meal breaks Why sustainable set culture and crew wellbeing can be part of a film's financing and production strategy Lindsey's preference for keeping production days under 10 hours and how extensive pre-production helps make that possible How table reads, storyboards, and careful crew selection can help prevent burnout and keep an indie production on schedule Why directors need a clear creative vision while remaining flexible when working with limited time and resources How filmmakers can make department heads' jobs easier by including them in scheduling and production-planning conversations The emotional demands placed on actors during fast-paced productions and why filmmakers should consider those demands when building a shooting schedule The importance of knowing your workplace rights, advocating for fair pay, and reading contracts on union and non-union productions How the current economic environment has made grants and corporate support more competitive for independent filmmakers Why filmmakers raising larger budgets should understand production tax credits and rebates before approaching investors How to approach potential donors as collaborators rather than simply asking them for money Why filmmakers should create momentum around a project and communicate that the production is moving forward with or without a particular donor Lindsey's advice to emerging filmmakers about building a community, supporting other filmmakers, and continuing to make work without waiting for ideal circumstances Ian's advice to learn as many filmmaking jobs as possible, create projects that fit the available budget, and maintain creative outlets while pursuing financing Why securing the first supporter, sponsor, or production partner can make subsequent partnerships easier to obtain Memorable Quotes: “The key thing for filmmakers to know is it doesn't affect the way you monetize your film at the end of the day.” “If I can put more energy into pre-production so that I'm supported to just, like, have summer camp fun on set the whole time, and I have the right people around me to support me, I'm gonna do it.” “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: Lindsey St. Laurent Ian Mark Resources: New Hollywood — Nonprofit organization providing fiscal sponsorship to filmmakers who commit to improved working conditions.

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.

Send us Fan MailSales are soft for Friday's game and someone says the word every ticket office reaches for: discount. Jeremy Neisser makes the case that a price cut and a value add are two completely different promotions — one lowers what fans expect to pay from here on out, the other raises what they believe they're getting. He walks through the research on reference pricing, a study of MLB bobblehead promotions from 2012 to 2023 that moved attendance without touching ticket price, and real packages from the Blue Jackets, Bulls, Dynamo, and Rocket City Trash Pandas. Then he gives you the five places to look for value before you ever subtract from the price.KEY TOPICS COVERED- Why running discounts often enough quietly retrains what your fans believe a ticket is worth- What a reference price is, and how a repeated $5 off resets the number in your fan's head- The difference between changing your price and changing your offer — and why only one of them costs you revenue- Research showing fans value promotions for being fun, different, and worth talking about, not just for the savings- Why "we got hats with our tickets" travels further than "I saved $4"- What an MLB bobblehead study from 2012 to 2023 found about gate giveaways versus special ticket packages — and what both had in common- Real value-add packages you can copy from the Columbus Blue Jackets, Chicago Bulls, Houston Dynamo, and Rocket City Trash Pandas- The five buckets every add-on comes from: food, merchandise, access, recognition, and experience- How to find high-perceived-value add-ons that cost your team close to nothing- Why the word "free" can make a fan value your giveaway less — and the one-line fix- How to build exclusivity and scarcity into a value add so it drives a specific game- The filter to bring into your next promo meeting before anyone reaches for a promo codeTIMESTAMPS[00:00] – The Monday problem: soft sales, a Friday game, and the instinct to discount[01:39] – Why discounting feels obvious — we're all trained to hunt for deals[03:04] – The hidden cost of discounting too often[03:58] – What a $20 ticket sold for $15 actually communicates to a fan[04:54] – Reference price explained: the number every fan already carries[06:15] – The Michael's picture frame problem, and how price sensitivity compounds[07:10] – Value adds change the offer instead of the price[08:10] – Why fans value a promotion for more than the savings[08:39] – The Chandon, Wansink, and Laurent research on what people get out of a promotion[09:31] – The psychology of getting "a little something extra"[10:53] – The Savannah Bananas story: what surprise and delight actually looks like[11:23] – The MLB bobblehead study: giveaways moved attendance up to 13%, ticket packages about 8%[12:51] – Two approaches, two attendance increases, zero dollars off the ticket[13:19] – Blue Jackets family value pack, Bulls family packs, and the Houston Dynamo four pack[14:18] – The five buckets: food, merchandise, access, recognition, experience[15:46] – Concrete add-on ideas inside each of the five buckets[17:13] – Low actual cost, high perceived value — and why your building is already full of it[18:12] – What this means for a GM, external relations director, or ticket sales director[18:40] – Why "free" can backfire, and how to name the value instead[20:06] – The question to bring back to your team[20:35] – Running all five buckets in the meeting before you approve a discount[21:32] – Final takeaway: our job isn't cheaper tickets, it's a more valuable gameCALL TO ACTIONIf this sparked an idea, share the episode with someone in your office — then leave a rating or review on Spotify or Apple. It puts the show in front of more people trying to do exactly what you're doing: grow a fan base and sell more tickets.QUOTE PULLS"Discount often enough and you start teaching your fans to wait for the cheaper ticket." — Jeremy Neisser"I didn't change the price. I changed what you get for it." — Jeremy Neisser"Two approaches, two real attendance increases, zero dollars off the ticket. They didn't make baseball cheaper — they made going to that baseball game more valuable." — Jeremy Neisser"Low actual cost, high perceived value. That's the whole game. And your building is full of this stuff — you're just not selling it." — Jeremy Neisser"Our job isn't to make tickets cheaper.

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.    

AI-powered cell imaging may help researchers identify biological differences that are difficult or impossible to see by eye. Yu-Hwa Lo, Ph.D., and Louise Laurent, M.D., Ph.D., describe a system that combines high-speed imaging, cell sorting, microfluidics, and artificial intelligence. The technology creates label-free images of cells, uses AI to classify them, and can isolate selected cells for deeper molecular analysis. Laurent explains how the team is applying the system to human trophoblast stem cells, which give rise to specialized placental cells involved in nutrient transport, hormone production, blood vessel remodeling, and immune regulation. Lo describes how AI can distinguish cell populations and identify features that may not be apparent to human observers. The researchers ultimately hope to connect imaging features with gene expression, proteins, and metabolism, allowing cell characteristics and behavior to be predicted from images alone.

Dr. Thomas Sammons – Bringing Technology, Compassion and a Preventive Approach to Dentistry Dr. Thomas “Tom” Sammons of Dental Artistry joins Discover Lafayette to discuss his path into dentistry, his commitment to continuing education and advanced technology, and his philosophy that good dental care is about far more than simply fixing teeth. A Youngsville native and UL Lafayette graduate, Dr. Sammons grew up in Acadiana after his family moved here in 1995. His father, Tom Sammons, taught architecture at UL Lafayette, and education was strongly emphasized in the Sammons household. Dr. Sammons graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Biology from UL Lafayette before earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery from LSU School of Dentistry in New Orleans. His connection to UL Lafayette runs deep. As a student, Dr. Sammons was active in the pre-professional society, student government and honor society, and participated in Up 'til Dawn, which supported St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. He says UL is where he truly found his community in Lafayette. Today, that sense of community remains important. Dr. Sammons and his wife, Abby, both grew up here and even attended the same church, where Abby's father once taught him in Sunday school. Their parents live nearby, and Dr. Sammons and Abby are raising two energetic young sons, Gabriel and Everett. “I love being with them. I love being with my family.” A Childhood Spent in the Dental Chair Led to a Career Dr. Sammon’s decision to become a dentist was shaped in part by his own difficult dental history. His permanent teeth erupted with enamel hypoplasia, leaving them soft and yellow and requiring extensive dental work. He also admits he did not take particularly good care of his teeth as a teenager. Fortunately, he had dentists he genuinely liked, Drs. Thomas and Harmon in Youngsville. “I actually loved my dentist. I didn't like being in the dental chair, but I liked him,” Tom recalled. For years, Tom thought he would become an engineer. Then he attended orientation at UL Lafayette, toured the engineering program and abruptly announced to his parents that he was going to become a dentist. The more he learned about dentistry, the more certain he became that he had found the right profession. That personal history also helps explain the empathy Dr. Sammons brings to patients who fear dental treatment. He discovered early in his career that many people had experienced frightening or painful dental care as children. For some patients, he says, simply opening the front door of a dental office can feel like “a very heavy weight.” When Dr. Sammons joined the practice of longtime Lafayette dentist Dr. Ann Laurent, he found a mentor whose philosophy closely matched his own. Dr. Laurent had built a practice around caring for patients with dental anxiety and treating their fears with empathy. “It's not the most fun place to be. I understand that,” Dr. Sammons said of the dental chair. “It doesn't have to be the worst place to be. We can make it comfortable. We can make it fun.” That philosophy is reflected throughout Lafayette Dental Artistry. Patients who need additional help with anxiety can receive nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, at no additional charge. The practice also offers oral sedation and, when appropriate, IV sedation administered with a nurse anesthetist. Your Mouth Is Connected to the Rest of Your Body One of Dr. Sammon's strongest messages is that oral health should never be viewed in isolation. “The mouth is also connected to the whole body. It is systemic health. It is not just oral health.” Dr. Sammons and his team spend considerable time educating patients about brushing, flossing, diet and the habits that contribute to dental disease. Chronic infection and inflammation in the mouth can have consequences beyond the teeth and gums, and periodontal disease can progress without causing significant pain. One of the biggest misconceptions Dr. Sammons sees today involves sugar-free beverages. Eliminating sugar does not necessarily make a drink tooth-friendly because acidity can damage enamel. “Acid is worse,” he explained. Energy drinks, soft drinks, coffee and other acidic beverages can create an environment that promotes enamel erosion and decay. Dr. Sammons explained that when bacteria consume sugar, they produce acid, but drinking an already acidic beverage exposes teeth directly to that damaging environment. He sees the consequences particularly among younger patients. Someone can leave high school with few or no cavities, head to college, develop a habit of consuming energy drinks throughout the day, and return with significant decay. The problem is compounded when a person sips the beverage over several hours. After each exposure, saliva needs time to buffer the acidic environment. Dr. Sammons’ advice includes limiting acidic drinks, drinking water and, for some patients, using an alkaline mouth rinse. He also discussed products containing xylitol as another tool for fighting cavity-causing bacteria. Lafayette Dental Artistry provides comprehensive care ranging from preventive dentistry to full-mouth rehabilitation, cosmetic dentistry, crowns, veneers, bonding, implants, bridges and clear aligner therapy. Dr. Sammons particularly enjoys cosmetic dentistry and clear aligners. In some complex cases, moving the teeth into a better position before restorative work can dramatically reduce the number of crowns or veneers a patient needs. “The less I do is more in a lot of ways. The best dentistry is no dentistry. The second best dentistry is preventative dentistry.” His goal is to perform dentistry today that prevents larger problems tomorrow. That philosophy becomes especially meaningful when patients arrive after years of avoiding dental care because of fear, embarrassment, finances or difficult life circumstances. Dr. Sammons has watched patients regain not only their oral health but their confidence. After restoring a person's smile, he may see them six months later having made other changes: exercising, losing weight, quitting smoking or simply taking better care of themselves. “It changes their whole life. It changes their whole trajectory.” Dentistry's Role in Sleep Health Dentists are playing a growing role in recognizing potential sleep disorders. Because dentists routinely examine the mouth, jaw and airway, they may see signs that suggest a patient should be evaluated for sleep apnea. Lafayette Dental Artistry has equipment patients can take home for a sleep study, although Dr. Sammons emphasized that a medical doctor reads the study and makes the diagnosis. For appropriate patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea, a dental appliance may help keep the airway open by positioning the jaw forward. More severe cases generally require CPAP therapy. Implantable airway-stimulation devices are an option for some patients who cannot tolerate either CPAP or a dental appliance; those devices are placed by specialists. Dr. Sammons also uses Botox primarily as a therapeutic treatment for patients suffering from TMD, often called TMJ, including people who clench their jaws and develop muscle pain and headaches. While he occasionally uses Botox cosmetically, his primary interest is relieving pain and muscle tension. More Than 100 Hours a Year of Continuing Education Louisiana dentists are required to complete 40 hours of continuing education every two years. Dr. Sammons regularly pursues more than 100 hours annually. Why? “I'm just a huge nerd. I love it. I love to learn.” That appetite for learning has helped him incorporate rapidly changing technology into his practice, including digital scanning, same-day crowns, 3D printing and digitally created surgical guides for implant procedures. Approximately 99 % of the impressions in his practice are now digital. A tooth can be scanned, the crown designed virtually, milled in the office and placed in the patient's mouth the same day. For anxious patients, avoiding a temporary crown, a second appointment and another injection can make an enormous difference. Artificial intelligence is also becoming part of the practice. Dr. Sammons uses AI with digital X-rays to help identify possible cavities, bone loss and calculus. He views it as an additional set of eyes rather than a replacement for professional judgment. The technology is also a powerful educational tool. Instead of asking patients to decipher shades of gray on an X-ray, the software can highlight areas of concern, making it easier for patients to understand what the team members of Dental Artistry are seeing. “It's kind of like a second set of eyes,” he explained, noting that the technology can occasionally flag a tiny area that deserves a closer look. Lafayette Dental Artistry Is Growing Lafayette Dental Artistry is preparing for a major renovation and expansion of its longtime office. Dr. Sammons discussed the reality that modern digital dentistry requires different spaces for equipment, laboratories and treatment areas than were needed when the original office was built. During construction, the practice will temporarily relocate about five minutes away while the existing office is rebuilt. The temporary move is expected to last approximately nine months. The goal is to create a more modern environment while preserving what patients already value about the practice: comfort, relaxation and personal attention. And Dr. Ann Laurent remains very much a part of the practice. “She's been an amazing mentor to me, both as a clinician and also just as a leader.” Dr. Laurent continues to see patients while enjoying a little more time to travel. Dentist, Business Owner, Husband and Dad Running a dental practice also means running a small business, something Dr. Sammons jokes can be difficult “when you got your fingers in people's mouths.” He generally treats patients Monday through Thursday and reserves Fridays for administrative work, meetings and catching up on the business side of the practice. He made a commitment to himself to leave the office on time whenever possible so he can be home with Abby and their boys. His days start early, often around 3:30 a.m., with quiet time followed by a workout or swimming. When he does find spare time, Dr. Sammons loves to read, alternating between science fiction or fantasy and books on business, professional development and self-improvement. He enjoys movies, working out and swimming, but these days much of his free time is devoted to his sons. That means building blocks, jumping on the trampoline and, much to his delight, a recent family discovery of Legos. “I love doing Legos.” Perhaps the most revealing part of our conversation was hearing Dr. Sammons describe what makes dentistry rewarding. Sometimes it is as immediate as helping someone who walks into the office after spending a sleepless night with an excruciating toothache. Other times, it is watching someone who has neglected their oral health regain a healthy smile and the confidence that comes with it. “I don't know of many professions…that can do all that. It's so much fun and rewarding to do that. And I really can't imagine doing anything else.” We thank Dr. Thomas Sammons and the entire team at Lafayette Dental Artistry for their support of Discover Lafayette and for their commitment to helping Acadiana residents achieve better oral health while making the dental experience as comfortable and positive as possible.

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.
