Plug-in solar has the potential to change far more than how or where we install solar panels. I believe it could fundamentally change who gets to participate in the energy transition.I recently sat down with Stephan Scherer, Co-Founder and CEO of CraftStrom, who's spent nearly a decade helping pioneer the plug-in solar market—first in Europe, and now here in the United States. Stephan didn't simply watch this category emerge. He helped move it from a niche idea to a product you can buy off-the-shelf in mainstream retail stores like Aldi and Lidl.In this conversation, Stephan shares what his customers taught him as the market evolved, why the U.S. is now wrestling with many of the same questions Europe faced years ago, and what policymakers, utilities, retailers, installers, and manufacturers should be paying attention to as this category begins taking shape here at home.We also explore one of the biggest surprises from CraftStrom's own customer base: the people buying these systems aren't always who the solar industry expected. That raises a much bigger question about who traditional rooftop solar has been leaving behind—and whether plug-in solar could become an entirely new on-ramp to energy independence.Whether you're writing policy, designing energy products, selling residential solar, or simply curious about where customer-owned energy is headed next, this conversation offers a rare opportunity to learn from someone who's helped build this market from the very beginning—and why he believes plug-in solar is about to change everything.Are there other technologies you've scouted on the frontlines of the Clean Energy Revolution that you think we should be covering here on SunCast?Hit us up - team@suncast.me with your feedback & recommendations.If you want to connect with today's guest, you'll find links to their contact info in the show notes on the blog at https://suncast.media/episodes/.Our Platinum Presenting Sponsor for SunCast is CPS America!You can learn more about all the sponsors who help make this show free for you at www.suncast.media/sponsors.Remember, you can always find resources, learn more about today's guest and explore recommendations, book links, and more than 875 other founder stories and startup advice at www.suncast.media.Subscribe to Valence, our weekly LinkedIn Newsletter, and learn the elements of compelling storytelling: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/valence-content-that-connects-7145928995363049472/You can connect with me, Nico Johnson, on:Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/nicomeoLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickalus

Myles, Harry, Greg & Adam get together for the first catch up in a while, so long in fact that one of us has tied the knot in the meantime.There's the usual eclectic mix of chat, but we discuss CJ2K's recent ALS announcement and our own memories of him as a player, and later react to the new series of "Quarterback" and whether it's changed our perceptions of Cam Ward.

Warum ist Aldi nicht an der Börse, obwohl das Unternehmen wahrscheinlich über 100 Milliarden Euro wert ist? Und wieso wurde eine kleine Schraubenhandlung aus Künzelsau mit zwei Mitarbeitern irgendwann zu Würth mit 86.000 Angestellten weltweit? Genau darüber spreche ich in dieser Folge mit Noah Leidinger, den viele von euch aus seinem Podcast "Ohne Aktien wird schwer" kennen.Noah hat zusammen mit Florian Adomeit den Podcast Carrytale gestartet, in dem die beiden die Geschichte und Strategie außergewöhnlicher Unternehmen analysieren. Heute nehme ich euch mit hinter die Kulissen von Aldi und Würth: von der dramatischen Entführung von Theo Albrecht über den Kulturkampf zwischen Aldi Nord und Aldi Süd bis zur engpasskonzentrierten Strategie, mit der Reinhold Würth sein Firmenimperium aufgebaut hat.In dieser Folge analysiere ich mit Noah Leidinger:Warum Aldi in den USA gerade der am schnellsten wachsende Einzelhändler ist und wie sie dort Konkurrenten wie Walmart, Costco und Target unter Druck setzenWieso Aldi in Deutschland und anderen Märkten von Lidl überholt wurde und welche Rolle IT-Investitionen dabei spieltenWie unterschiedlich die Unternehmenskulturen von Aldi Nord und Aldi Süd wirklich sind, inklusive kurioser Anekdoten rund um Theo und Karl AlbrechtDie Entführung von Theo Albrecht 1971 und wie sie bis heute die Zurückhaltung deutscher Milliardärsfamilien prägtWie Würths engpasskonzentrierte Strategie und das Prinzip der Zellteilung das Unternehmen von 2 auf über 86.000 Mitarbeiter wachsen ließenWarum Würth bewusst unprofitable Tochterfirmen im Konzern hältWie bei Würth Millionen-Deals trotz dezentraler Struktur oft in wenigen Stunden entschieden werdenNoahs aktuelle Aktienkäufe und warum er langfristig positiv auf CTS Eventim blicktThemen der Folge:Aldi vs. Lidl: Wer gewinnt den Discounter-Krieg in Europa und den USA?Trader Joe's: Wie Theo Albrecht die Kult-Marke für ein paar Millionen kaufteAldi Nord und Aldi Süd: Zwei Brüder, zwei Firmen, zwei KulturenDie Entführung von Theo Albrecht: Lösegeld, ein Bischof und ein verpatzter SteuerabzugWürths engpasskonzentrierte Strategie und das Wachstum durch ZellteilungReinhold Würth und die 10-Millionen-Freigabe in 5 MinutenWarum Konsumgüterriesen wie Nestlé, Procter & Gamble und Kraft Heinz gegen Eigenmarken kämpfenNoahs Blick auf CTS Eventim, Fastenal und das Startup ZellerfeldDer neue Podcast Carrytale von Noah Leidinger und Florian AdomeitFazit: Aldi und Würth zeigen auf ganz unterschiedliche Weise, wie radikaler Fokus zum Erfolgsgeheimnis werden kann: Aldi durch ein kompromisslos schlankes Sortiment, Würth durch die permanente Konzentration auf den größten Engpass im Unternehmen. Für Anleger und Gründer stecken in beiden Geschichten Lektionen, die weit über Lebensmittel und Schrauben hinausgehen.Disclaimer: Diese Folge dient ausschließlich der Information und Unterhaltung und stellt keine Anlageberatung dar.

Klasyczny etap ucieczkowy zmienił się w wyścig zielonych sprinterów po tym jak Jasperek przemycił się do odjazdu dnia. Brutalna kontra Lidla i przeciąganie liny między dwoma odjazdami wywindowały średnią prędkość z 3 godzin znacznie powyżej 50 km/h. Po tym jak zielone punkty zostały rozdane mogliśmy przejść do głównej uczty dnia, dania dwutalerzowego : walka o wygraną na etapie i walka Pidcock'a o generalkę. Koniec końców wygral Schmid (nie mylić ze Szmydem), a Tadek został dowieziony do mety przez inne zespoły. Chcesz folołować? – Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pncastCykChcesz popaczeć? – Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pncast/Chcesz połoglondać? – YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5hNRM9CimnQAZTho-FBAcQ Chcesz pobiznesować? – e-mail: podnominal@gmail.com Chcesz dać zapomogę? – PATRONITE: https://patronite.pl/pncast Buycoffee: www.buycoffee.to/pncastPatroni : HIGROSYSTEM.PLMarek DrÓb

W/C 6th July 2026At first I thought the marketing algorithm might have lost the plot?I say that because this week I have been getting some very extended posts about the benefits of collagen, and the difference it can (and has if the posts are to be believed) made to the lives of many suffering the symptoms of the menopause.As you would expect my first thought was how and why are these finding a way into my feed, normally reserved for adverts about tennis trainers, tai-chi workouts, and how to spot the tell-tale signs of prostate cancer.But at the point I was discussing this with Alison as we wandered down the middle aisle of Lidl, I realised the genius of algorithm. I had succeeded in my task, and delivered the marketing message I was supposed to deliver, to the person it was intended for, in a bespoke and personalised manner. Exactly how I would like all of my notifications to be..Stay safe.Holding Out For a Hero - Bonnie TylerTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity. It started out as a mechanism for me to clear my head, with the hope that by saying stuff out loud it would act as a little bit of self-help. It's remains loose in style, fluid in terms of content and raw - it's a one take, press record and see what happens, affair.If you want to keep in touch with TFM and the other stuff I do then please follow me on Facebook, Insta, Twitter or Patreon.

Veganes Essen ist längst kein Nischenthema mehr – es liegt im Discounter, in der Kantine, auf jeder zweiten Speisekarte. Und trotzdem wird gerade vieles unübersichtlicher: Wer darf eigentlich „vegan" auf die Packung schreiben? Wie viel Vertrauen verdient ein Siegel, das kaum jemand vor Ort prüft? Und wie hält eine gemeinnützige Organisation ihre kritische Stimme, wenn sie mit McDonald's und Lidl zusammenarbeitet? Darüber spreche ich mit Albrecht Wolfmeyer, Leiter Strategie bei ProVeg Deutschland und langjähriger Direktor des ProVeg-Inkubators. ProVeg ist eine der einflussreichsten gemeinnützigen Ernährungsorganisationen weltweit – aktiv in vierzehn Ländern, mit eigenem V-Label, einem Förderprogramm für Food-Startups und direktem Draht zu Konzernen, Investoren und Politik. Albrecht kennt diese Welt von innen, und er sagt einige Dinge, die man so nicht überall hört. Die große Frage, um die alles kreist: Wie schafft pflanzliche Ernährung den Sprung von der Bubble in den Massenmarkt? Albrecht erklärt, warum Deutschland heute der weltweit führende Markt für pflanzliche Produkte ist, während andere Länder stagnieren. Wir reden über das V-Label und darüber, wie viel Vertrauen so ein Siegel wirklich verdient. Über die Debatte „vegan" gegen „pflanzlich" und die Reaktanz, die das Wort bei manchen auslöst. Es geht um Preisparität im Discounter und die harte Konsolidierung bei den Fleischalternativen – und darum, warum so viele Startups an Novel-Food-Regulierung, langem Atem und Produkten scheitern, die geschmacklich schlicht noch nicht überzeugen. Es wird auch unbequem: Warum setzt ProVeg auf Pragmatismus statt Ideologie? Und lässt sich das Image von Veganismus überhaupt drehen, wenn das Wort bei vielen sofort Widerstand auslöst? Zum Schluss schauen wir nach vorn: auf Milchproteine aus Präzisionsfermentation, auf kultiviertes Fleisch, auf Fischalternativen, die noch viel Arbeit brauchen – und auf die Frage, welche Kategorie in fünf Jahren so selbstverständlich im Regal steht wie heute die Hafermilch. Dazu Wolfmeyers Blick auf die Proteinwende, die Landwirtschaft und die New Food Conference im August in Berlin. Eine Folge über einen Markt im Erwachsenwerden – und über die Menschen, die entscheiden, was morgen auf unseren Tellern landet.

Send us Fan MailWhile we often think in terms of large, listed corporations, family firms account for some 70% of global GDP and 60% of global employment. They are key drivers of innovation, entrepreneurship, and long-term value creation, and effective governance of family firms warrants serious attention. In this podcast, Dr Sabine Dembkowski, Founder and Managing Partner, is joined by Prof. Dr. Philipp Hoog. Philipp is a Partner at BBE Handelsberatung, a leading German consultancy specialising in the retail sector, and Honorary Professor of Strategic Management at CBS International Business School in Cologne. He advises family-owned and founder-led businesses and investors on strategy, governance, transformation, and succession, with a particular focus on the role of advisory and supervisory boards in navigating disruption in retail. Philipp combines academic insight with hands-on experience from numerous board-related mandates and projects. He also serves as President of the EBS Alumni Association, representing graduates of EBS Universität für Wirtschaft und Recht.“In family business, it's not just the business sitting at the table, but also the family and the ownership, often embodied in the same people.“Philipp notes that many of the world's most successful companies are family-owned. Mars, Walmart, Aldi, Lidl, Peters Sports, and Samsung, to name a few. This makes governance more complex and personal, since any strategic advice must also consider family dynamics and generational concerns.“The role of an advisory board in family businesses is something like a balancing act.”For Philipp, advisory boards need to provide advice and control while considering the family interests. This can mean serving as a sparring partner, driving succession conversations, or diffusing emotional conflicts. At times, this requires a greater time commitment and investment in understanding the relationships than you would see at a non-family firm, to give appropriate advice and remain mindful of the dynamics.“Boards, especially in family businesses, work well when there are three things in place.”In Philipp's experience, family boards need three things. The first is clear role separation, so family members understand when they are acting as shareholders vs family members or external stakeholders. The second is timely professional information about the business, ideally through structured reporting. The third is regularly scheduled, well-structured board meetings. To Philipp, three to four quality meetings per year, plus a strategy retreat, is ideal.“A good advisory board doesn't restrict entrepreneurial freedom; it expands it.”Philipp sees boards operating under two distinct models in family businesses. One is as an early warning system and strategic challenger. Another model is a board that oversees the company and monitors overall governance issues. A critical question is whether the company is playing to win or playing not to lose. Family-owned businesses can be reluctant to share authority and control, but a good board offers structure and support. Indeed, since family businesses often think in generations rather than quarters, partnering with board members who share the entrepreneurial DNA and bring a governance structure can be the key to more stable long-term growth. The three top takeaways from our conversation for effective boards are:1.      Governance is not a luxury. It is a success factor, especially for family businesses. 2.     Family ownership and business must be clearly separated in roles, in bodies, and in decisions. This creates professional governance. 3.     The right board makes the difference. Come Join The Better Boards Community We'd love to get to know you!

Cette semaine dans Les Mots d'Amour, nous recevons le courrier de Florent, 19 ans.À 13 ans, tout allait bien. Il était populaire au collège, avait une copine et avait l'impression que le monde lui souriait.Puis le Covid est arrivé.Déménagement, perte de confiance, difficultés à rencontrer des filles... et aujourd'hui une obsession : comment se fait-il que certains semblent attirer tout le monde alors que lui enchaîne les échecs ?Plus précisément : pourquoi un de ses amis semble-t-il avoir quatre copines en même temps alors que lui peine à en avoir une seule ?Une question qui nous entraîne dans une discussion passionnante sur la popularité, la jalousie, les réseaux sociaux, les adolescents, les Mormons, les voitures sans permis, les Tam-Tam, les bouteilles consignées, les scooters dangereux, les théories sur la Lune et les retraités qui vivent chez Lidl.Au programme :• Les anciens populaires du collège• Les dégâts du Covid sur une génération• Les garçons qui se comparent aux autres• Les incels et la manosphère• Les Mormons et les familles XXL• Les Tam-Tam et les années 90• Les scooters de Gérardot• Lidl, Unico et les magasins disparus• Les mythomanes qui promettent des rendez-vous à Canal+• Dante, le fils officiellement validé par la production• Et le retour de partenaires toujours plus improbables : Père Dodu et Kayak.Bref, un épisode qui commence avec une question sur les filles et qui finit par un débat sur les bouteilles consignées, les extraterrestres et le planning hebdomadaire idéal d'un retraité.Comme toujours : beaucoup de mauvaise foi, quelques conseils, des digressions incontrôlées et une sincère envie d'aider.

This week we talk about plug-in power, renewables, and Germany.We also discuss inverters, solar arrays, and microgrids.Recommended Book: Consider This by Chuck PalahnuikTranscriptMost climate scientists and knowledgable folks in adjacent fields will tell you that, as a species, we're way behind where we need to be if we're going to avoid a whole lot of negative consequences caused by global climate change.We've blazed past a bunch of tipping points already, and while the worst-case scenarios we were worried about a decade ago are no longer likely because of the energy-generation and related changes we've made globally, since then, the damage caused up to this point is already doing some pretty bad things to our water cycle and other temperature-regulating systems, and that's looking like it will get even worse over the next several decades—even if worse no longer means cataclysmic in the sense of ending all life on the planet.That said, even noting that progress has been a lot slower than most experts would prefer, progress is happening in regards to the deployment of renewable energy sources, and in the replacement and retirement of dirty, carbon- and methane-spewing sources, like coal, petroleum, and gas.As of 2026, the global share of total electricity generation, so all electricity produced by all sources for all purposes, is about 33.8% for renewables, marking the first time renewables have been used to produce more than a third of the total electricity produced, globally; that also means renewables have surpassed coal for electricity generation for the first time.While hydro and wind continue to contribute to the growth of renewables deployment and electricity generation, solar power is by far the biggest growth area for renewables right now, and solar, alone, covers 75% of total electricity demand growth in 2025—which means as countries around the world deploy more electricity generation assets to account for electricity demand growth, three-quarters of that demand is being met by solar. And this is notable because typically that kind of demand, the majority of which arises in huge, rapidly scaling countries like China and India, has up till recently been met by the dirtiest of energy production sources, coal.There's also been a .02% reduction in fossil fuel generation, year-on-year, which is a very small number, but that level of production is massive, and there are a lot of subsidies and other mechanisms that keep fossil fuels flourishing around the world, so every little sliver of fossil fuel energy production reduction is still a pretty significant thing.Many of these renewables-related wins, in recent years, have been attributable to the large-scale installation of solar facilities, backed by massive, utility-scale battery backups, primarily in China.China is by far the largest producer of solar panels and related technologies—Chinese companies produce somewhere between 80-90% of all the key components and perform the same portion of all key manufacturing stages for the global supply chain, while also controlling the vast majority of resources necessary to manufacture solar panels. And it has been on a tear over the past decade or so, installing just a silly amount of solar infrastructure. Which is good, because China is also seeing a lot of growth in energy demand, so if they weren't deploying that much solar, they would likely be deploying that much coal infrastructure, instead.That said, while huge solar arrays are important to renewables growth, there's also been a recent boom in smaller-scale solar energy deployment in recent years, especially but not exclusively across Europe. And that's what I'd like to talk about today: the emergence of so-called ‘balcony solar,' and what it might mean for the further expansion of solar's footprint around the world.—In 2025, Utah, which is a deeply Conservative, Republican state, became the first US state to pass a bill that makes it easier to legally install plug-in solar panel systems.As of mid-2026, about 30 states have followed suit, and even more are considering it, laws allowing for the installation of such solar technologies winding their way through legislative bodies on the back of the popularity and seeming no-downsides nature of this tech product category.Plug-in solar, also sometimes called balcony solar or garden solar, is currently most popular in Germany, which is the biggest market for this product right now, with about four million such systems installed as of 2025.To understand the popularity of this type of solar installation, it's useful to understand that conventional solar installations have typically required a decent amount of electrical surgery to install. They've usually involved a large number of panels operating as an array, and that array has produced quite a lot of electricity that then has to be funneled as a direct current either back into the local grid using what amounts to two-way wiring, which makes these arrays function like any other power plant, or that electricity is converted using an inverter into an alternating current, where AC is the electrical standard, anyway, so that it can directly power a large building like a hospital or school, or be stored in a large battery facility.All of these options require a huge up front investment, and a reworking of local energy infrastructure so that solar can be incorporated. And that investment requirement, and the necessity to hire specialist electricians to get it all done, severely limits the range of this tech, because there are only so many entities that can afford it, only so many spaces that can deploy that number of panels, the number required to make that investment make sense, economically, is generally quite large, and there are only so many specialists of that kind in a given country, so the labor aspect of this is a big deal, too, these sorts of projects often severely backlogged.Plug-in solar, in contrast, is usually sold as a kit with one or two small- to medium-sized panels and a microinverter or plug-in inverter, depending on whether the end-user's existing electrical setup uses an AC or DC current.A home owner or even a renter with a balcony or garden, or the right amount of space outside one of their windows, can buy one of these systems, hang or place the solar panel or panels in a location where they will get a decent amount of sun, and then plug them in, via the inverter, directly to their home's outlet.The electricity generated by the panels is then shared through the building's existing wiring to all of their outlets, and this allows the resident to use that available energy, first, only drawing energy from the local grid when there isn't enough from the solar panels available. And all of this happens automatically—the solar energy is used if available, and if not, energy is drawn from the grid like normal.This creates a layer of essentially free, clean energy for the resident with a usually fairly small up-front cost: these plug-in solar kits can cost as little as $500, with larger systems that generate more electricity costing between $1200 and $3000; so even on the high-end, because there's no additional installation cost, the home owner or renter setting it all up themselves, this is an investment that can easily pay for itself, usually within 2-5 years.There are caveats here, including that not all grid systems are complaint with this use-case, so would-be plug-in solar users have to check to make sure their local setup can handle this sort of application, and there are many places where this product type still isn't legal, in some cases because of concerns about people installing it without checking to make sure their wiring and the local grid can handle it, and in some cases because of old laws that favor local energy grid companies and their business models, or which favor fossil fuel energy production.The explosion in use of this type of small solar setup, though, speaks volumes about how good a deal it is for many people, and even those who don't live in particularly sunny areas—so places where traditional solar arrays wouldn't make sense, economically—are finding them useful, because they still pay for themselves within some number of years, due to energy bill savings. It's also possible to install home-scale battery systems alongside these balcony solar systems, which means even small trickles of solar energy production can add up, and can be used at night, when the sun isn't shining at all.There are quite a few possible ramifications of this trend.At the local, household level, these sorts of systems can dampen the impact of energy price increases, due to global issues, like the gumming up of the Strait of Hormuz, and due to local issues, like the trend of energy companies increasing prices because of new data centers being added to their grid. That, in turn, can reduce the impact of certain aspects of inflation on individuals home owners and renters.Larger-scale, though, these systems also serve as a sort of deconstructed secondary energy grid.In Germany, for instance, as of late 2025, around 1.14 gigawatts of energy was being produced by balcony solar systems across the country. That's 1.14 GW of pressure taken off of local energy grids, and that represents more resilience for these grids, too, as reduced pressure means fewer brown-outs and similar negative fluctuations. It also means people who have such systems won't be as negatively impacted by issues that take down grids; and that means normal, brown-out like issues, but also problems related to potential cyberattacks and hacks and even physical conflicts. That kind of resiliency is what every nation hopes to have, because it makes strikes on them less damaging, and this is one way to achieve that kind of resiliency—a deconstructed network of microgrids, underpinning the macro-scale one—all at a relatively low cost.These sorts of systems are also becoming more widely available, IKEA selling several kits in many countries where they've been made legal, and other retailers, like Lidl and Amazon are also getting in on the action, making these kits more widely available as the trend spreads.China still controls the vast, vast majority of solar energy asset production, so there's a chance, especially in the case of a theoretical future conflict, that they could turn off the tap on this and these types of assets would go away for a time, which would be bad if local grids come to rely on them taking some of the pressure off the local macro-grid.Those theoretical economic warfare concerns aside, though, if legalization continues to spread, plug-in solar could be one of the best and most successful methods for deploying clean energy to areas where it hasn't been a particularly compelling sell, and where local infrastructure or politics has made such deployment unlikely or impossible up till this point.Show Noteshttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/opinion/solar-panels-balcony-backyard-plugin.htmlhttps://arstechnica.com/science/2026/04/globally-86-percent-of-the-new-generating-capacity-was-renewable-in-2025/https://arstechnica.com/science/2026/05/soaring-solar-and-a-surge-in-hydro-push-more-coal-off-the-us-grid/https://arstechnica.com/science/2026/04/global-growth-in-solar-the-largest-ever-observed-for-any-source/https://www.iea.org/reports/sdg7-data-and-projections/modern-renewableshttps://ember-energy.org/latest-insights/global-electricity-review-2026/https://ember-energy.org/latest-insights/china-solar-cell-exports-grow-73-in-2025/https://rhg.com/research/minerals-metals-and-megawatts-how-chinas-power-generation-drives-its-industrial-metals-ecosystem/https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/solar/what-to-know-balcony-solarhttps://www.canarymedia.com/articles/solar/balcony-solar-taking-state-legislatures-by-stormhttps://www.canarymedia.com/articles/solar/balcony-panels-germany-utahhttps://www.energysage.com/news/plug-in-balcony-solar-panels/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balcony_solar_powerhttps://www.pv-tech.org/maine-passes-balcony-solar-law-virginia-and-colorado-to-follow/https://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/plug-solar-power-could-be-coming-balcony-near-youhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_panelhttps://www.ingka.com/newsroom/solar-energy-for-the-many-ikea-belgium-to-offer-balcony-solar-kits/ This is a public episode.

If you've felt squeezed every time you shop for groceries, there may finally be some good news. Kroger is cutting prices on thousands of items as competition heats up with Walmart, Costco, Aldi and Lidl. Clark explains why grocery stores are fighting harder than ever for your business, why private label products are becoming the best value in the store, and how inflation continues to affect everyday staples like tomatoes. Then, Clark looks at a new way to cut one of your biggest monthly bills. AT&T has launched a new "Build-a-Plan" option starting at just $15 per month. Clark explains who this plan works for, how much data most people actually need, and why so many consumers are paying for unlimited plans they rarely use. If you've been hesitant to leave one of the major wireless carriers but want to spend less every month, this new offering could be exactly the kind of competition that helps put money back in your pocket.

Fin 2023, le fast-food Quick s'associe avec le finaliste de Top Chef Danny Khezzar pour créer un burger aux saveurs de raclette et… de truffe. Et ça n'a rien de surprenant, cet ingrédient autrefois réservé aux tables des grands restaurants s'invite partout, même dans les fast food. On en trouve partout : chips, burgers, et même sushis ! Sans oublier les pizzas et les pâtes. Même les enseignes discount comme Aldi ou Lidl ont leur produits aromatisés à la truffe ! Alors qu'on l'a si longtemps associée aux porte monnaies bien fournis, celle qu'on appelle l'or noir paraît beaucoup plus accessible, si bien qu'on se demande s'il s'agit encore d'un produit de luxe.  Pourquoi la truffe est-elle si chère ? Comment font les fast-food et les supermarchés pour en intégrer dans leurs produits ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant vous savez". Un podcast Bababam Originals, écrit et réalisé par Maële Diallo.  Première diffusion : février 2024 À écouter aussi : ⁠La pleine lune nous empêche-t-elle vraiment de dormir ?⁠ ⁠Qu'est-ce qu'un hobby date, cette nouvelle tendance amoureuse ?⁠ ⁠Comment lutter contre la zoom fatigue, cette surcharge informationnelle ?⁠ Retrouvez tous les épisodes de ⁠"Maintenant vous savez".⁠ Suivez Bababam sur ⁠Instagram⁠.

Greenvolt Next, part of Greenvolt Group, a leading specialist in renewable energy solutions for the commercial and industrial sector, has announced the creation of 90 new jobs – 50 of which will be based at its Waterford headquarters. Over the next 12 months, the company will be recruiting mid-level to senior managers to support its operations in Ireland and the UK. Roles will include project engineers, senior project engineers, project managers and site managers. These new positions are part of a significant investment into the company's expansion, talent acquisition strategy and future growth plans. This funding will also go towards the further development of Greenvolt Next's existing Waterford HQ, which is being increased by 2176 sq ft and will be equipped with the latest technologies. In turn, the expanded team will enable Greenvolt Next to deliver more large-scale projects, supporting developers and landowners in advancing renewable assets, while meeting the increasing demand for green energy solutions in the Irish and UK markets. As an organisation, Greenvolt Next supports businesses with their renewable energy transformations. It is responsible for some of Ireland's largest and most innovative renewable energy projects, including Sanofi Waterford solar farm. It also works with leading retailers including Lidl, Aldi and Tesco. Over the next three years, Greenvolt Next forecasts significant increase in revenue following accelerated market growth. This will be driven by the rising demand for sustainable and renewable energy, as well as requirements around CSRD reporting. Specifically, the organisation anticipates growing demand for solar panel installations and battery storage projects over the next 12 months. In 2025, Greenvolt Next reduced customer CO2 emissions by 30,000 tonnes, with a further reduction of 150,000 tonnes of CO2 projected over the next three years as demand for renewable energy soars. Owen Power, CEO of Greenvolt Next Ireland & UK, commented: "Our success to date has been driven by our ability to deliver the most reliable and cost-effective energy solutions to customers, underpinned by unmatched resources and expertise. Looking to the future, which will only see greater demand for such projects, we want to continue making a tangible impact for businesses and the environment. "That means investing in operations, growing the team and innovating for customers. As well as marking the next stage in our own journey, this will allow us to make renewable energy easy for more organisations across Ireland and the UK. In turn, they will not only be more sustainable but also more successful." Greenvolt Next operates within a dynamic and agile environment. As a growing international Group also focused on Utility-Scale and Sustainable Biomass projects, Greenvolt Next offers opportunities for professional development, enabling people to contribute to projects with tangible impact, supporting the advancement of the energy transition.

Een pijnlijke ruzie tussen China en de EU. Eentje die kan uitmonden in een handelsoorlog. Het begon allemaal met een plan van Brussel. De Europese Commissie vindt dat de handel met China niet eerlijk verloopt en wil de tarieven op Chinese spullen gaan verhogen. Tot woede van de Chinezen. China waarschuwt dat het tegenmaatregelen neemt als Europa doorzet. En over die escalatie hebben we het deze aflevering. Wat gebeurt er als China terugslaat? Welke aandelen hebben er dan last van? En is Trump de lachende derde? Over Trump gesproken: hij viel opnieuw Iran aan. Net nu het leek dat er een akkoord lag tussen het Iraanse regime en de Trump-regering. We kijken wat die aanval betekent voor de olieprijs en voor de beurzen wereldwijd. Ook hoor je over het opvallende vertrek van de CFO van Adyen. Hij was tien jaar lang belangrijk voor het bedrijf, maar gaat weg. De financiele man gaat zelfs helemaal de fintechwereld uit. Verder vertellen we je alles over de bijzondere stap van KPN. Dat slaat de handen ineen met de eigenaar van Lidl. Samen willen ze een vuist bieden tegen de cloud-macht van de Amerikanen. Te gast: debutant Thomas Pellegrom van ABN Amro MeesPierson BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo. Over de makers: Jelle Maasbach is presentator van BNR Beurs en freelance financieel journalist. Zijn favoriete aandeel om over te praten is Disney, maar daar lijkt hij de enige in te zijn. Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij. Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld. Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad. Jochem Visser is presentator van BNR Beurs, maakt Beursnerd XL en is redacteur bij de podcast Onder Curatoren.

We praten je in een kleine 25 minuten bij over alle laatste ontwikkelingen op de handelsvloer. We blijven niet alleen bij de AEX of Wall Street, maar vertellen je ook waar nog meer kansen liggen. En we houden het niet bij de cijfers, maar zoeken ook iedere dag voor je naar duiding van scherpe gasten en experts. Of je nu een ervaren belegger bent of net begint met je eerste stappen op de beurs, de podcast biedt waardevolle inzichten voor je beleggingsstrategie. Door de focus op zowel de korte termijn als de lange termijn, helpt BNR Beurs luisteraars om de ruis van de markt te scheiden van de essentie. Van Musk tot Microsoft en van Ahold tot ASML.

Donald Trump regresa esta semana a Pekín casi una década después de su última visita en 2017. El escenario y el anfitrión son los mismos, pero las cosas han cambiado mucho desde entonces. Trump ya no es el recién llegado dispuesto a romper con China, sino un presidente curtido en su segundo mandato, empeñado en demostrar que su relación con Xi Jinping va mucho más allá de cubrir el expediente diplomático. Ambos llevan meses intercambiando cartas personales, un detalle revelador de cómo la geopolítica del siglo XXI ha dejado atrás los escrúpulos ideológicos. Pesan más las cadenas de suministro y la balanza comercial que los derechos humanos, como demuestra el caso del editor hongkonés Jimmy Lai, condenado a 20 años de prisión y cuya liberación Trump no tiene intención alguna en pedir. El cambio respecto a China es sustancial. Trump irrumpió en política en 2016 acusando a los chinos de robar empleos y patentes. Durante su primer mandato les declaró la guerra comercial, persiguió a Huawei, intentó prohibir TikTok y restringió la exportación de semiconductores. La pandemia terminó por romper la relación. Biden mantuvo y endureció esa política, lo que terminó forjando un consenso en el Congreso en todo lo relativo a China. Ese consenso se está resquebrajando ahora, pero desde el partido republicano. El gobierno ha autorizado ventas de chips de Nvidia, ha despedido a expertos en China del Consejo de Seguridad Nacional y ha pactado con ByteDance que mantenga el control del algoritmo de TikTok. Dos razones explican el cambio de parecer. La primera es que Trump ha centralizado las decisiones en un círculo mínimo encabezado por Witkoff, Kushner y el secretario del Tesoro, Scott Bessent, que es quien impone su doctrina de equilibrio con China. Marco Rubio, antaño azote del partido comunista chino, guarda hoy un silencio que habla por sí mismo. La segunda razón es más prosaica. China ha aprendido a devolver los golpes. Cuando Trump elevó los aranceles hasta el 145% el año pasado, Xi Jinping respondió con controles a la exportación de tierras raras, lo que hizo cundir el pánico y forzó la tregua que acordaron en Corea del Sur hace un año. Trump llega a esta cumbre con el lastre de la guerra de Irán. Necesita que Xi Jinping presione a los ayatolás, principales suministradores de petróleo a China, pero, de forma un tanto paradójica, es la armada estadounidense la que impide salir los petroleros con destino a las refinerías chinas. Xi Jinping llega con una economía debilitada y una demanda interna muy floja. Ambos necesitan que la cumbre sea un éxito y que puedan presumir de haber alcanzado grandes acuerdos. Sobre la mesa está Taiwán. Xi Jinping quiere que Trump se oponga formalmente a la independencia de la isla, una concesión que tendría un valor simbólico importante. En Pekín lo fían todo al tiempo. Saben que a Trump le quedan menos de tres años en el cargo y no desean provocarle. Tiempo es lo único que necesitan para que su economía remonte y Estados Unidos se canse de pelear en demasiados frentes.

Andrei Pavel, fost #13 ATP mondial, explică ce face diferența între talent și performanță reală: disciplina, mindset, reziliența și susținerea primită.În acest nou episod Mind•Set•Match, Horia Tecău stă de vorbă cu Andrei Pavel — campion Roland-Garros la juniori, de 27 de ori jucător în Cupa Davis pentru România, fost antrenor al Simonei Halep în perioada în care a devenit numărul 1 mondial și astăzi antrenor la Power Tennis Club Otopeni.O conversație sinceră despre cum se construiește un sportiv de mare performanță, ce înseamnă o susținere sănătoasă din partea părinților și de ce, când motivația dispare, doar disciplina mai dă continuitate și progres.
