Podcasts about long term value

In deze extra aflevering van Leaders in Finance is Willem Schramade te gast, professor of finance aan Nyenrode met een focus op sustainable investing. Wat gebeurt er als je écht probeert om financiële waarde en maatschappelijke waarde met elkaar te verbinden? En waarom blijft dat in de praktijk zo moeilijk? Willem vertelt over de spanning tussen theorie en praktijk, tussen rendement en verantwoordelijkheid. Over hoe pensioenfondsen het verschil kunnen maken, maar het soms laten liggen. En over waarom het juist nu tijd is voor meer lef en minder compliance-denken. Een gesprek over waarde creëren in plaats van alleen maar waarde eruit trekken. En over waarom een goed werkende bankapp fijn is, maar nog geen toekomstbestendige financiële sector maakt.

Welcome to HALO Talks! In this episode, host Pete Moore sits down with Tom Morrissey, founder of Solo Health Collective and a seasoned veteran in the health insurance world, to unpack the complex—and often misunderstood—landscape of healthcare for self-employed professionals. With a career spanning decades at Cigna and deep experience serving everyone from major corporations to solo entrepreneurs, Tom shares how he's dedicated his life to helping small business owners and solopreneurs access quality, affordable health coverage. Despite his success in the large-account space, Tom noticed an unmet need: Small and mid-sized businesses were often overlooked by health insurers and weren't given access to innovative cost-saving or health improvement solutions that benefited the bigger corporations.  If you're a personal trainer, group ex instructor, wellness coach, massage therapist, or any professional running your own business, this conversation is a game changer. Tom explains the differences between HMO and PPO plans, why traditional ACA ("Affordable Care Act") options can fall short for the self-employed, and how his company's unique group plan model is designed to deliver robust coverage (including preventive care and nationwide access) with transparent pricing and minimal out-of-pocket surprises. Plus, hear about partnerships with organizations like the Freelancers Union, and learn how innovative features like HSAs can work for you—even covering perks like fitness classes. On the healthcare issues facing entrepreneurs, Morrissey states, "We saw the growth. It depends on who you listen to, but estimates are that there'll be 90M solo business, owners by 2028. I want to say there's about 60M now. The guys and gals that own these businesses . . . I think, especially when they're young and healthy, are the ones that get screwed the most in healthcare. You know? All they really have access to is ACA plans." Key themes discussed Challenges of health insurance for solopreneurs and self-employed. Differences between PPO and HMO health plans. Underwriting and rate-setting for solo business owners. Preventive care coverage and HSA/HSA usage changes. Brand trust versus new insurance providers like Solo Health Collective. Partnerships with organizations such as Freelancers Union. Long-term cost sustainability for healthier insurance collectives. A few key takeaways:  1. Solo Health Plans Are Filling a Major Gap: Morrissey explains how traditional health insurance often overlooks solopreneurs and small business owners, especially in the HALO space. His company, Healthy Business Group via Solo Health Collective, is designed specifically to provide comprehensive PPO health plans to solo business owners—offering an alternative with more flexibility and better coverage than typical limited-network ACA and HMO options. 2. Key Plan Advantages-PPO Access and Maximum Out-of-Pocket Clarity: Unlike many ACA or HMO plans that limit provider networks and access, Solo Health Collective offers nationwide PPO plans, granting members broader access to healthcare providers. They also have a straightforward approach: After the deductible is met, there's no coinsurance—meaning your deductible is the absolute maximum you'll pay out-of-pocket for covered expenses (with all preventative care covered in full and not applied to the deductible). 3. Plans Are Designed for Solo Business Owners With Medical Underwriting: To qualify, you must have an EIN (Employer Identification Number) and be a business owner without employees. Members go through a quick, five-question medical underwriting process, which allows the plan to provide tailored age, and location-based rates—often significantly less expensive than standard individual policies, especially for young, healthy professionals. 4. HSAs and Innovative Usage for Wellness Are Embraced: The plan supports health savings accounts (HSAs), and Tom shared how, thanks to evolving IRS guidelines and technology, people can now use HSA funds for things like fitness classes and certain wellness purchases, expanding the value of pre-tax health dollars and encouraging preventive care and healthy lifestyles. 5. Long-Term Value and Stability Solo Health Collective is built on a self-insured, level-funded model supported by robust reinsurance (Odyssey A+ rated.) This allows the collective to stabilize costs and potentially keep renewal increases lower than the industry average—especially as it pools healthier, proactive members like those in the wellness and fitness industries. The long-term goal is to create a sustainable, affordable health insurance solution specifically for entrepreneurs who have historically been underserved.

In this final episode of ESG in Practice season 1, Jeanett Bergan explores ESG's evolution from an emerging trend over 20 years ago to an important part of investment strategy. Drawing on her extensive experience, both on the investment side as well as implementing ESG in large multinationals, she highlights how investors early on recognized the long-term benefits of robust sustainability practices for risk management. The conversation shifts from reporting to real implementation—engaging suppliers, performing audits, and leveraging technology to secure timely, transparent data. Ultimately, companies that excel in ESG not only mitigate risks but also demonstrate strong management and long-term stability, which can drive superior financial performance.

Software isn't always about rapid iteration. Sometimes, the real challenge lies in carefully assessing the existing environment. Chris Salvato, a Senior Staff Engineer at Shopify, believes that spending time in the “problem space” is vital for any long-lived application. Rather than diving immediately into controllers and tests, he begins by talking to everyone who interacts with the code—engineers, product owners, even directors who oversee strategy. This approach reveals hidden friction points that rarely come to light in larger, more formal meetings.When code grows organically over years, a range of issues emerges. Small workarounds might accumulate, new features can overlap with older ones, and domain boundaries become murky. Chris suggests mapping these overlaps through in-depth conversations so the team can pinpoint what genuinely obstructs productivity. He emphasizes that many developers may focus on surface fixes—updating a library here, renaming a class there—without acknowledging underlying confusion in the domain model itself. Removing extraneous code, clarifying domain entities, and aligning the team's understanding can drastically reduce missteps.An interesting aspect of Chris's method is his view of “developer paradise.” A codebase reaches this state when new contributors can navigate it with minimal help. Instead of sifting through endless documentation or complex wikis, they can figure out how classes, modules, and services connect simply by reading the code. Chris notes that achieving this often involves pruning unnecessary files or responsibilities. The end result is software that “self-documents,” easing onboarding and reducing reliance on external explanations.The conversation also touches on how large language models (LLMs) fit into the puzzle. Many organizations see AI-driven coding assistants as a way to accelerate development. Chris agrees they have potential, yet highlights a critical requirement: the code must be well-organized. If the system is sprawling and inconsistent, these tools may only add confusion. Lean, carefully segmented projects let both people and AI more effectively track what's happening under the hood.Reducing code bloat leads naturally to discussions about prioritizing. Chris encourages teams not to tackle every annoyance at once. He references the importance of framing a unifying question, such as “Which feature or aspect of the app causes the greatest confusion among team members?” Spending too little time on this question, he warns, results in half-hearted improvements that eventually revert back to chaos. By contrast, devoting a few dedicated sprints—guided by thoughtful one-on-one interviews—can create lasting changes that set the entire codebase on a better trajectory.One intriguing theme is how personal growth ties into organizational impact. Chris acknowledges that developers often switch companies every few years, which might discourage them from investing deeply in a legacy codebase they won't maintain long-term. Yet taking the lead in clarifying domain logic or reorganizing outdated sections is a skill-building opportunity. Future employers also notice engineers who can transform messy architectures into clear, future-friendly systems. In that sense, there's a mutual benefit: the company gains maintainable software, while the developer acquires project leadership experience.The idea of “sitting in the problem space” resonates throughout Chris's remarks. He encourages engineers to resist the reflex to propose solutions too early. Instead, they should keep asking why a particular annoyance or bug persists. Is it a symptom of a misaligned feature set, or is it rooted in limited domain knowledge among contributors? By reframing those frustrations as questions about responsibilities, the team often discovers simpler fixes than a heavy-handed rewrite. Conversely, where deeper rewrites are indeed warranted, Chris believes it's best for the team to see that direction as unanimous rather than dictated from the top.Long-standing software also carries emotional baggage. People might have strong feelings about how something “ought” to be done, or they may have encountered recurring hurdles. Chris advocates using one-on-one conversations to let these concerns surface naturally, free from the pressure of group settings where quieter voices might hold back. Once everyone's perspective is heard, common threads become clearer, enabling the team to converge on a smaller list of genuinely important tasks. When the group reconvenes, the sense of shared purpose helps unify efforts in a way that scattered brainstorming rarely achieves.The conversation also highlights resourceful domain modeling, which draws some inspiration from the microservices world but doesn't necessarily require the code to be broken up into tiny services. Instead, Chris suggests that well-defined boundaries within a monolith can deliver comparable clarity—if the team respects those boundaries. He points to examples like Stripe or reading materials on Domain-Driven Design to show how cohesive object structures can help avoid big architectural hurdles.His closing thoughts revolve around long-term sustainability. Even if an engineer isn't planning to remain on a project indefinitely, they can leave a meaningful legacy by clarifying crucial parts of the code, championing simpler naming conventions, and encouraging more open dialogue among team members. The impact, Chris notes, goes beyond the immediate project: every person who touches that code later benefits from these improvements, often for years to come.Time-Stamped Highlights[00:00:00] Welcome and Well-Maintained Software:Robby opens by asking Chris about foundational traits of dependable, long-lasting codebases.[00:00:58] Defining “Well Maintained”:They explore how clear conventions and minimal bloat not only reduce confusion but also prolong the life of a system.[00:01:28] LLMs and Context Windows:Chris delves into why large codebases challenge AI-driven coding assistants—and how trim, well-modeled systems sidestep this pitfall.[00:02:00] Joining Shopify and Facing Legacy Systems:Chris recalls his early days at Shopify, realizing that older Rails apps demanded a more structured method of discovery.[00:03:08] Concept of “Developer Paradise”:He shares his perspective on how removing unneeded documentation and extraneous complexity makes daily development more enjoyable.[00:05:32] Framework for Tackling Old Code:Chris outlines his signature approach: booking numerous 1-on-1 meetings to gather honest feedback from stakeholders before touching the code.[00:07:15] Finding High-Leverage Problems:Robby and Chris discuss distilling this feedback into a shortlist of real bottlenecks that the team can tackle together.[00:15:00] From Problem Space to Solutions:They spotlight the value of framing a single unifying question—like “How do we reduce confusion?”—to keep everyone working toward the same outcome.[00:20:07] Balancing Personal Goals and Company Needs:Chris underlines how aligning individual ambitions with business objectives fosters commitment to sustained improvement.[00:32:00] Long-Term Value and Leadership:Closing out, Robby and Chris consider how short-tenure engineers can leave a lasting impact by helping a team focus on its biggest pain points.Resources & MentionsShopifyRuby on RailsChris's GitHubChris's LinkedInChris's Twitter/XThe One Thing by Gary KellerTitan: The Life of John D.

Based rollups are a really interesting design because they offer MEV to the L1 (which acts as the sequencer) rather than accruing the value to the rollup operator. This has been the biggest argument for L2s being parasitic to the L1. We think based rollups change that for the better. The core issue still remains, however: Current rollups likely will not opt-in to based designs because they will lose their sequencer revenue and entire business model would have to undergo a dramatic shift. Today, we're diving into the world of Gwyneth, a rollup solution aimed at solving some of the most pressing issues in DeFi—fragmented liquidity, scalability, and user experience. Designed with synchronous composability at its core (being based), Gwyneth brings a new level of efficiency to L2s making it feel like a single chain even as multiple chains work together under the hood. We'll also take a closer look at the technical improvements that Gwyneth brings to the table, including real-time proving, modular sequencing, and a unique approach to block building. The Booster Rollup functionality further enhances this by allowing new rollups to inherit state from L1, preventing the need to recreate entire ecosystems from scratch.

The crucial debate between organic and paid advertising. Paid ads are quicker and more predictable results, but organic has the potential to produce an even higher roi. Paid advertising allows for consistent traffic flow and scalable sales, which are essential for building a real business as opposed to a hobby. Paid ads provide control and predictability, making it easier to achieve revenue goals and demonstrate profitable acquisition channels, a critical factor when selling a business to potential buyers. Organic growth, while valuable in the long run, is less predictable and takes longer to yield significant returns.Successful businesses need a balance of both paid and organic strategies. While paid ads offer immediate returns and scalability, organic content is a long-term investment that enhances brand value and trust. Effective paid advertising requires testing, optimization, and a solid product or service. By understanding and leveraging both paid and organic methods, businesses can achieve sustainable growth and improved valuations.CHAPTER TITLES1:17 - The Importance of Both Paid Ads and Organic Growth 1:50 - Why Paid Ads are Essential for Business Consistency 2:51 - Comparing Paid Ads to Organic Growth4:03 - Analogies: Paid Ads vs. Organic Growth4:29 - The Challenges and Benefits of Paid Ads 5:10 - The Long-Term Value of Organic Growth6:17 - Building a Balanced Strategy 6:56 - Organic Growth as a Long-Term Strategy 7:15 - Paid Ads and Business Valuation 8:44 - Examples of Big Brands Using Paid Ads9:10 - The Role of Different Types of Paid Traffic 10:39 - The Myth of Affording Paid Ads 11:58 - Personal Success Stories with Paid Ads12:42 - Integrating Organic Growth and Paid Ads 12:56 - Creating Viral and Branded Content for Organic Growth14:33 - The Importance of Testing in Paid Ads 14:51 - Guidance for Members on Paid and Organic Strategies 16:06 - Summary and Final Thoughts on Paid vs. OrganicConnect with Rudy Mawer:LinkedInInstagramFacebookTwitter

Devon Zuegel is planning a bold, people-centered town from scratch. She has a background in software engineering and has worked at some of the big firms in Silicon Valley. She discovered a passion for urbanism and housing while living in San Francisco when she started looking into why there wasn't more housing, and she draws a lot of inspiration from her childhood experiences at Chautauqua, a small town in Western New York. We discuss the need for more beautiful and community-oriented neighborhoods and the challenges of current housing policies and regulations. Devon also explains her vision for Esmeralda, a town that combines the principles of traditional neighborhood development (TND) and the community-oriented programming of Chautauqua. We explore the concept of experimentation and flexibility in urban planning and development, and brainstorm the importance of allowing for iteration and adaptation in building communities, the limitations of traditional planning processes and the need for more creative and responsive approaches. We talk about how the tech MVP model (Minimum Viable Product) can be applied to neighborhoods (Minimum Viable Place) through temporary structures, such as food trucks and airstreams, in testing ideas and activating spaces. While we discuss problems, it's a fundamentally optimistic conversation! We discuss the need for individuals to take more agency and responsibility in shaping their built environment. Devon was an amazing guest, lot's of energy, nuanced thinking and positive vibes–can't wait for y'all to hear!

Reinvent: Navigating Business Transformation in a Hyperdigital Era by Faisal Hoque https://amzn.to/3NTeIrr The Journey to Organizational Transformation Given the rate of change that we have experienced and will continue to see in the world, it's a challenge trying to stay on top of everything. Organizations must consider revising and possibly scrapping decades-old habits, processes, and their very ways of thinking and operating. In so doing, organizations can literally reinvent themselves. Transformation requires much more than simply obtaining the latest technology, plugging it in, and sitting back to watch reinvention take place. From top to bottom, organizations will be compelled to change entire mindsets, attitudes, and assumptions about how they operate, how they can grow, and even the very reason for their existence. This book introduces readers to ideas, concepts, and a comprehensive framework (LIFTS) that they can use to better position themselves and their organizations to reap the greatest number of benefits that business and digital transformation can afford. It's a journey rich with promise that explains complex concepts in an understandable common language. The book is divided into three distinct sections. The First section, "Why? The Case for Business Transformation in a Hyper-Digital Era," makes the argument for organizational reinvention—from the changing nature of consumers to shifting workforce priorities to the necessity for greater organizational security. The second section, "Transformation via Digitalization—Necessary Steps," examines actions necessary to prepare for transformation, including overcoming significant obstacles, recognizing the essential value of leadership, and forecasting what your organization is likely to become in the future. The final section, "What to Do: Navigating with LIFTS," offers a comprehensive discussion of a five-step process geared to guiding your company through its transformation. Using the acronym LIFTS — learn, investigate, formulate, take off, and study—you'll learn what goes into a successful transformative effort, including elements that, if overlooked, can sink otherwise solid planning. REINVENT is the result of the author's personal and professional journey — one that is made possible by three decades of work with colleagues, customers, partners, academics, and industry experts from around the globe.
