In dieser Folge sprechen wir mit Patrick Layer, der zusammen mit seinem Bruder die zweite Generation im Familienunternehmen Layer-Grosshandel GmbH & Co. KG repräsentiert. Es ist ein Gespräch über Werte, Vertrauen und die Kunst, Tradition mit Digitalisierung, E-Commerce und OKRs zu verbinden. Wir tauchen ein in den Alltag eines mittelständischen Großhändlers, der vom Bodensee aus wächst und zeigt, dass moderne Führung auch im Traditionsunternehmen möglich ist. Patrick erzählt offen von Verantwortung, Fehlern, Brüder-Dynamik und davon, wie man Mitarbeitende über Jahrzehnte bindet. Gemeinsam fragen wir uns: 1. Was kann Corporate Germany von Familienunternehmen lernen? 2. Wie gelingt eine faire und erfolgreiche Nachfolge? 3. Und wie führt man, wenn im Team Gen Alpha bis Boomer vertreten sind? Vier Takeaways aus dieser Folge: 1. Vertrauen vor Kontrolle. Ob Brüder, Führungskräfte oder Azubis, ohne Vertrauen geht nichts. Es ist die Basis für jede Übergabe und jede Entwicklung. 2. Stärken statt Ego. Unterschiedliche Charaktere führen besser gemeinsam, wenn sie ihre Stärken kennen, sich gegenseitig respektieren und Ressorts klar trennen. 3. Fehler als Lernchance. Mut zu Experimenten, auch wenn mal etwas schiefgeht. Offene Fehlerkultur und psychologische Sicherheit machen Innovation möglich. 4. Generationen verbinden. Reverse Mentoring und Wertschätzung in beide Richtungen schaffen echten Wissensaustausch, ob beim Pricing mit KI oder beim Kundengespräch. Am Ende bleibt eine klare Botschaft. Familienunternehmen sind kein Auslaufmodell. Sie sind oft die nachhaltigsten und loyalsten Arbeitgeber, wenn sie Tradition und Zukunft in Balance halten. Wenn euch die Folge gefallen hat, freuen wir uns über 5 Sterne, Kommentare und Weiterempfehlungen. Teilt sie mit euren Kolleg:innen, Kindern, Eltern oder Großeltern oder mit Menschen, die gerade über Nachfolge, Führung oder Vertrauen nachdenken. Bleibt neugierig, bleibt offen, bleibt im Gespräch. Oskar & Michael Danke fürs Zuhören, und auf viele weitere Folgen! #Leadership #CorporateCulture #Family #Team #FutureOfWork #NewWork #Podcast #ZoomerMeetsBoomer LinkedIn: michaeltrautmann64 oskar-trautmann96

Live from the DU Expo in Memphis, Dr. Jerad Henson sits down with OnX Hunt's Lake Pickle to talk about the new Ducks Unlimited public land projects layer in the OnX app. They discuss why public land access is the “great equalizer,” and how hunters can use tools like offline maps, GPS tracking, Optimal Wind, collaborative folders, and LIDAR to scout smarter and hunt safer. Lake also shares his roots in the Mississippi Flyway, lessons from his years at Primos, and why DU's conservation work—on both public and private land—remain central to waterfowl hunting heritage.Listen now: www.ducks.org/DUPodcastSend feedback: DUPodcast@ducks.org

Maksym Tkach, Chief Technology Officer at Frogo, sits down with us to discuss the company's breakthrough innovations in fraud prevention. From solving the hardest latency challenges in real-time detection to building a scalable, cloud-native architecture with Go and microservices, he shares how Frogo became the trusted partner for high-risk industries like fintech and iGaming. What's the biggest technical challenge you solved while building Frogo's real-time fraud detection engine? That's a great question. The single biggest challenge was resolving the fundamental conflict between detection complexity and real-time performance. Our clients, especially in fintech and iGaming, need to evaluate dozens, sometimes hundreds of data points and rules in a single transaction. But they also have strict SLAs, often under 500 milliseconds, because any added latency directly costs them money in lost conversions or rejected transactions. Doing both seemed impossible. Our breakthrough came when we broke the problem down into two parts: rule orchestration and data retrieval. For rule orchestration, we found that standard sequential rule engines were too slow. Many rules could be run in parallel, but some depended on the output of others. To solve this, my team and I designed a proprietary dependency graph execution engine we call 'LTee'. It stands for Layered Tree. Before processing a transaction, LTee analyses the entire rule set and organises it into layers. Layer 1 contains all independent rules that can be executed in parallel immediately. Layer 2 contains rules that depend on Layer 1's results, and so on. This model allows us to achieve maximum parallelisation while respecting data dependencies. In the worst case, it runs sequentially but for most transactions, it dramatically reduces execution time. For data retrieval, the bottleneck was calculating complex aggregations on the fly, for example, 'What's the 95th percentile of this user's transaction amount over the last 7 days?'. Querying a traditional database for this during a transaction is a non-starter for our latency budget. So, we made a strategic trade-off. We use Aerospike as a specialised time-series aggregation store. We pre-calculate and store metrics like standard deviation, percentiles and averages across various time windows and granularities. It consumes more storage, but it turns a computationally expensive query into a simple, sub-millisecond key-value lookup. For high-cardinality counts, like 'how many distinct devices has this user logged in from?', we use the proprietary approach algorithm to get near-instant, memory-efficient estimates. By combining these solutions, we turned our engine from a sequential process into a highly parallelised system fueled by pre-computed data. The result was a reduction in our p99 latency from over 5000ms to under 300ms, even with complex rule sets. This didn't just meet our SLAs; it became our core competitive advantage and allowed us to win major clients who had previously found other systems to be too slow. Why did you choose Go and a microservice architecture, and how has it shaped Frogo's scalability? This was a foundational decision driven by our need for performance, reliability, and developer velocity. For the language, we chose Go for three specific reasons: 1. Exceptional Concurrency for Our Workload: Fraud detection is an I/O-bound problem. For a single API call, we might need to fetch user data from Aerospike, check a device fingerprint, and query a 3rd party service simultaneously. Go's goroutines are lightweight and perfect for this. We can fire off thousands of concurrent operations efficiently, which is key to keeping our latency low. A language with heavier threads, like Java, would have been far less resource-efficient for our specific use case. 2. Performance and Simplicity: We adhere to the KISS principle. Go is simple to read and write, which speeds up onboarding for new engineers and reduces bugs. Critically, i...

Radix DLT is a Layer-1 distributed ledger—think blockchain for DeFi, but without the clunky blocks. It's built from the ground up to make decentralized finance smoother, safer, and more scalable. Why you should listen Radix DLT is a full-stack Layer-1, distributed ledger technology (DLT) platform purpose-built for the next wave of decentralized finance (DeFi) and Web3 development. Unlike traditional blockchains, Radix isn't chained to blocks—it's a true DLT leveraging its novel Cerberus consensus algorithm, offering atomic composability across shards and effectively limitless scalability. That means DeFi dApps can interoperate seamlessly in a single transaction without choking on traffic—Radix is engineered to scale to the needs of global finance. Radix isn't just about raw speed—it doubles down on usability. On the user side, the Radix Wallet brings clarity: no more blind signing or seed-phrase nightmares. Transactions are human-readable, and multi-factor, decentralized account recovery makes losing access a bore of the past. For developers, Radix gives you Scrypto—the world's first asset-centric smart contract language—and the Radix Engine, a DeFi-optimized “game engine” for building secure, composable dApps fast. Think of it as trading in clunky old engines for a sleek, intuitive ride that actually encourages innovation. Radix wasn't tinkering around—it's OECD-scale serious. With integrated, platform-native identity solutions baked right into its design, Radix is tackling one of the biggest barriers to real-world adoption: bridging crypto and compliance. That means institutional investors can actually bring capital on-chain, using verifiable, on-ledger identity in a way that's compatible with KYC/AML frameworks. If Web3 is ever going mainstream, it needs to solve identity—not just scalability and UX. Radix aims to check all three boxes.

Distributed Denial of Service-Angriffe: Was tun, wenn die Bits zur Waffe werden?Kennst du das Gefühl, wenn deine Seite plötzlich nicht mehr lädt – und du schwörst, irgendwer dreht gerade absichtlich am Rad? Immer schneller, immer größere Bandbreiten, immer mehr Geräte online – verteilte Angriffe sind zum traurigen Alltag geworden. Doch was steckt wirklich hinter dem Buzzword „DDoS“?Wir nehmen dich in dieser Engineering-Kiosk-Episode mit in die Welt der Distributed Denial-of-Service-Attacken – praxisnah, technisch und ohne Panikmache. Als Gast begrüßen wir Stefan Behte. Er ist Vice President Platform & Application sowie Informationssicherheitsbeauftragter bei Babiel, kennt die Absicherung prominenter Webseiten wie die des Deutschen Bundestags aus erster Hand, engagiert sich beim Chaos Computer Club und hat das Buch „Distributed Denial of Service: Angriffe erkennen & abwehren“ geschrieben.Gemeinsam tauchen wir tief ein: Wer sind eigentlich die Täter ― vom Script Kiddie mit Booter-Service bis zur staatlich orchestrierten Cyber-Kampagne? Wie funktionieren Angriffe auf Layer 3/4 bis zur cleveren Business-Logik-Manipulation im Online-Shop? Wie bauen Angreifer Botnetze auf und wie erkennt und mitigiert man den Traffic-Wahnsinn? Wir sprechen über Infrastruktur-Design, sinnvolle DDoS-Protection in Cloud und On-Premise, finanzielle Fallen und smarte Defense-Strategien.Mit dabei: Jede Menge Security-Funfacts (Stichwort: Quakenet!

Are binge eating and ADHD more connected than we think? So many people struggling with binge eating disorder feel trapped in cycles of food noise, shame, and self-blame. Layer in ADHD's dopamine dysregulation, and it can feel nearly impossible to find control.This week, I'm bringing back marriage and family therapist Kacee Markarian to dig deeper into that connection. Her message is clear: this isn't your fault, it's not about “willpower,” and it definitely won't be solved by just removing trigger foods from your house.Kacee explains why binge eating can feel like a trance, what's really happening in the brain, and how small, practical shifts can quiet the food noise—without shame, restriction, or diet culture.If you've ever felt like your thoughts are consumed by when and what you'll eat next, this episode offers both understanding and a compassionate path forward.ReferencesVisit Kacee's websiteListen to my previous episodes with Kacee:Ep. 127: Why Your Body Was Never the Problem with Kacee M Markarian LMFTEp. 128: Staying True to Fat Liberation While Caring for Your Health with Kacee M Markarian LMFTGet Your FREE 3-Day Hunger Hormone Reset Mini Video SeriesAudio Stamps02:00 - Kacee redefines binge eating disorder (BED) beyond clinical definitions and discusses common misconceptions about the condition.04:35 - Understanding the "food trance" state and how binge eating episodes feel different from normal food cravings.05:49 - Why typical advice like removing trigger foods fails and the role of shame in preventing people from seeking help.08:46 - Exploring the relationship between ADHD and binge eating disorder through brain chemistry and dopamine function.11:58 - Four foundational lifestyle strategies for managing dopamine dysfunction and reducing binge eating episodes.17:36 - Kacee's treatment approach focusing on addition rather than restriction when working with clients.23:55 - Addressing the broader context of addiction, family history, and societal factors that contribute to eating disorders.All of the information on this podcast is for general informational purposes only.

There's a humility you carry like baggage, and it's slowly wearing you down. This week, Dr. Les Parrott and Judah Smith join me to dismantle the false humility that masquerades as godliness while laundering shame. Humility becomes self-hatred when vulnerability is avoided and spiritual high-mindedness is mistaken for healing. Layer on top the epidemic of spiritual bypassing—pretending everything is okay—and you get a reluctance to ever speak pain. We unpack why your job is not to heal publicly, how real accountability looks different than performance, and why refusing to stay in the box of pretense is the most subversive spiritual act you can commit. Whether you've preached from the platform or hidden behind faith walls, this episode cuts through your shame fortress and lights a path to emotional and spiritual freedom.

What if your company's approach to people management was fundamentally flawed, not because of a lack of intent, but because of outdated tools and mindsets? In this episode of Predictable B2B Success, Vinay Koshy sits down with Projjal Ghatak, founder of OnLoop and creator of the Collaborative Team Development (CTD) category, to unpack why traditional HR tech and performance management systems don't cut it for today's hybrid, high-growth organizations.

When the AI wave hit, n8n founder Jan Oberhauser faced a critical choice: become irrelevant or become indispensable. He chose the latter, transforming n8n from a simple workflow tool into a comprehensive AI automation platform that lets users connect any LLM to any application. The result? Four times the revenue growth in eight months compared to the previous six years. Jan explains how n8n's “connect everything to anything” philosophy, combined with a thriving open source community, positioned the company to ride the AI automation wave while avoiding vendor lock-in that plagues enterprise software. Hosted by George Robson and Pat Grady, Sequoia Capital Mentioned in this episode: Model Context Protocol (MCP): Open protocol that lets AI models safely use external tools and data that is used extensively by n8n for orchestration. Vector database: A database optimized for storing and searching embeddings. These “vector stores” can pair with LLMs for retrieval-augmented workflows. Granola: AI productivity tool mentioned by Jan as a recent favorite.  Her: A film that Jan says, “a few years ago, it was sci fi, and it's now suddenly this thing that is just around the corner.”

Resharing on LinkedIn, done right or done wrong, can make or break your visibility. Here's the truth: instant reshares don't work. They add no value and fail to gain traction. If you must reshare, add commentary, but even that isn't the best approach.The most effective strategy? Create a brand-new post. Tag the author. Quote their snippet. Layer in your own perspective. That's how you build credibility, add value, and show up as a thought leader, rather than disappearing in the feed. So next time you're about to hit reshare, pause and ask yourself: “How can I make this relevant to my audience?”That simple shift turns resharing into a habit that builds authority.Don't forget to take our FREE Business Assessment here:https://www.magpaiassessments.com/4117/0

Altcoin froth meets real-asset rails. Vlad explains why Robinhood built an L2, how tokenized stocks—and even private shares like OpenAI/SpaceX—could trade on-chain, and what that means for accreditation, access, and the public/private wall. Plus: DATs, DTCC in a tokenized world, and AI that formally proves smart contracts. Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, Robinhood co‑founder/CEO Vlad Tenev joins to explain Robinhood Chain, why they chose a Layer 2 over a Layer 1, and the plan to bring tokenized stocks — including private shares — on‑chain. We get into the OpenAI/SpaceX kerfuffle, accreditation rules, and whether permissionless tokenization erodes the public/private boundary. Then we zoom out to 24/7 trading, Digital Asset Treasuries, and how formal verification (Lean proofs) could make smart contracts safer. Show highlights
