Nella nuova puntata ospitiamo Gabriele Chiave, designer e fondatore di Controvento. Formatosi nello studio di Marc Sadler a Milano, è stato per anni direttore creativo dello studio Marcel Wanders ad Amsterdam. Il suo approccio al progetto è quello della pecora grigia: stare nel mezzo, tra bianco e nero, per costruire un design capace di far dialogare mondi diversi.Nel suo percorso ha collaborato con alcuni dei nomi più importanti de design e non solo: Kartell, Poliform, Flos, Cappellini, B&B Italia, Baccarat, Alessi, MAC, La Mer, Clinique, Louis Vuitton, Fendi Casa, Diesel Living, KLM e molti altri.Con lui parliamo di compromessi e scelte, di generalismo e specializzazione, di identità dei designer e identità dei progetti, di stili lenti e mercato veloce.---------------------------------I link dell'episodio:- Il sito di Controvento https://controvento.cc- Il progetto KLM World Business Class di Marcel Wanders Studio https://www.marcelwanders.com/work/the-world-business-class-service- I progetti per Decorté di Marcel Wanders Studio https://www.marcelwanders.com/work/maison-decorte- "Cheese please", la grattugia disegnata da Gabriele Chiave con Lorenza Bozzoli https://coolhunting.com/design/interview-gabriele-chiave-alessi/- Il libro "Helena Rubinstein.

As banks retreated from 2008, Private Credit filled in the gap. What started as a niche within private equity now operates like a global lending system. And it extends beyond corporate balance sheets, asset-based finance, the ability to lend against real, cash-generating assets is growing fast and offers countless opportunities. The real unlock isn't just capital — it's the data and technology allowing to manage these assets at scale.Granular, asset-level data enables better underwriting, continuous monitoring, and access to previously illiquid markets. In my conversation with Cesar Estrada, we explored:* How private credit replaced traditional bank lending* Why asset-backed finance is now being unleashed* How to understand the fall of Tricolor and First Brands* And how data and technology could be defining the winners in this marketA few highlights from our conversationAsset-based finance - an ever-expanding universe Asset-based finance means that instead of lending against the future cash flows of a company, you're lending against an asset and the contractual cash flows associated with that asset. That's a very broad definition, and it can include anything within, the consumer, finance world, buy now, pay later, credit cards, auto loans, student loans, any personal term loans, residential mortgages, home, equity lines of credit, the list, keeps on going on as you move outside of a consumer world into, other types of things.Any type of account receivable, supply chain financing, litigation finance, and then more esoteric stuff like, synthetic risk transfers and other things. And it's becoming very specialized by verticals: aviation finance, medical equipment finance…It has possibly a larger addressable market than direct lending. It offers a lot of runway for growth for private equity, private credit firms, hedge funds, and insurance companies participating directly in this space.The need for data feeds From a risk management perspective, given the rate of change of a consumer world, loans are being paid, new loans are being issued, loans are being not paid. You want to be monitoring this much much more real time than you do in a corporate book, where you're getting monthly reporting from the borrower and you are comparing their latest actual financials against the original underwriting thesis against prior periods. And you do that activity once a month.This is not a once-a-month thing. This is a daily thing. You want to see how it's changing because it's changing very dynamically.I was surprised that this frequency of data was even a possibility, and Cesar also added that it goes beyond risk management; it also feeds into the creation of funds for private investors with daily NAV and daily liquidity. The frequency of reporting increases, the liquidity choices increase, and the volumes and rate of change in the investment strategies increase. That all compounds to necessitate a very robust, modern technology to process all of that data.The First Brands & Tricolor questionCesar mentioned he didn't have any specifics on the situation, and when I asked about the data issue, his response from a data management provider was to be expected.It is certainly possible that better data with more accuracy and more frequency could have helped offer a view that those assets were being used as collateral with multiple lenders. […]But I wanted to dig a bit further, and at first, the response confirmed that when a crisis happens, all assets that are linked to it fall at the same time, even if in the long term, there's dispersion (like banks during the Global Financial crisis)In terms of how it happened so quickly, so abruptly. Again, pure speculation, I think that those things might have been bubbling without the public knowing for a while. But as soon as a big source of financing decides that you're no longer creditworthy, all of the other sources of financing follow suit, and it's very abrupt. You can face a liquidity challenge and go bankrupt.It reminded me that Apollo Global Management shorted First Brands' credit risk before the company's fall, showing the information asymmetry that still exists in private credit. This requires a few caveats: First Brands was more direct lending; Tricolor was more linked to asset-based finance; nothing says that Apollo had better data. Yet, until the data-based approach that Cesar described becomes table stakes, it could be an important differentiator.Related episode:About Cesar Estrada:Cesar oversees Arcesium's investment operations, accounting, and data management solutions for private markets fund managers and institutional investors.

This is the time of year when parents are trying to figure out what to buy their children for Christmas. That is, of course, a noble endeavor. In the midst of wanting to provide valuable worldly possessions for your family, please remember the most important gift has already been purchased, and yet you can still give it.No shortage of “stuff” exists in our culture. Video games. Designer clothes. Big-screen televisions. You name it. For those who have the money to readily spend or have the money to save so they can spend during this time of year exists a plethora of opportunities to bring smiles of delight. Those who don't have a ton of money for the latest gadget or expensive items find plenty of reasonably priced gifts that bring happiness to their children.But there's a gift that means more than anything money can buy your child, and it's one we don't always value as we should not just on Christmas, but every day of every year.Parents, the greatest gift you can ever give your child is a relationship with Jesus. Life without Christ is not the life your children—or you—was intended to have. Give them Jesus. Do it by having your own relationship with Him. Do it by teaching them about Him yourself. Do it by taking them to a Bible-believing church who will further teach them. Do it by modeling what it looks like to trust your life with Him by being obedient to Him. Let them hear you talk about Him. Let them hear you talk to Him. Let them realize He wants to talk, too, to those who want to listen. Let them see that the greatest gift of all is the gift of life with Him on earth and eternal life with Him in Heaven. Let them see what it looks like to stand in faith when struggles come. Many young people have no idea how to handle stress or defeat or even questions that arise as they navigate life. What's in a person comes out in the most difficult of times and the best of times also, actually. Much of the mayhem we see around us results from people unprepared for what they will face simply because they exist. God has entrusted mankind as vessels through which children learn what matters, and what matters is to love Jesus and to know they are loved by Jesus, to honor Him. Nothing is more important and more long-lasting.The bottom line is if you've given them everything their hearts desire but haven't shaped their hearts to desire Jesus more than anything, what have you actually given them? Sure, if you can, give them the latest Jordan sneakers, the most powerful electronics, the Louis Vuitton bag (Oh, wait! That's my wish!

Aunque las dádivas se entregaron durante una gira a Marruecos en la que se pidió una declaración política a cambio, Parlacen sancionó a toda la comitiva por faltas éticas leves y, para el caso del diputado Carlos Hernández, una muy grave: recibir dinero sin llevar registro institucional y no reportarlo al organismo.

I've been hoping to discuss special situations and distressed debt, one of the least hyped but most interesting areas of finance and credit for a while.Distressed debt investing requires a triple threat skillset: understanding legal frameworks, financial health, and industry landscapes.It offers unique diversification benefits, standing apart from traditional equity and bond markets, and offers relatively defined investment horizons.For all these reasons, the potential for alpha generation is significant, but it demands patience and precision.So when I got the chance to interview Dan Bird's team who's been holding senior roles in that space for over two decades, I jumped on this rare opportunity. We explore the complexity of these markets and the skillsets needed to navigate them.HIGHLIGHTSVersatility You have to look at the company, and what it's doing and determine a value. And sometimes that's specific assets and sometimes that's a stream of cash flows. Sometimes that's intellectual property.And then you need to be a management consultant. Is this business capable of turning itself around? Are industry forces too far against this company that it'll never recover? So you need a, you need a lot of different skill sets in order to be successful in this type of industry.Patience and Timing in InvestmentsWhen something in the industry changes. People are reluctant to acknowledge it. People don't like change. Everyone thinks things revert to the mean. A lot of people involved in the situation tend to have bias just because they've been involved in the situation. They tend to overvalue the ability of companies to recover.At this stage, I was thinking: “yeah, that's when you, distressed investor, must intervene.” But then Dan added:That's the most dangerous time to invest when we don't really know.Part of doing this job the right way is finding the right entry point, the right timing. It's very infrequently early.Patience does matter in terms of getting into these things. A lot of time,s that doesn't happen until very long after things start to change.On Private CreditWe also discussed the rapid rise of private credit:There's worry about some of the assets that were originated in that period. We'll have a little bit more stress. It's possible. It'll take a little while to figure that out. From my perspective, that just creates different opportunities.And I always find it insightful, or surprising, when I hear an insider's perspective on private markets:Look, some investors like private assets because they don't have to mark them to market.To a public market mindset, this is counterintuitive. It goes against the “illiquidity premium”. One famous critic, Cliff Assness, calls it “volatility laundering”. And I used to agree wholeheartedly, but my perspective has evolved. Of course, marking your own NAV creates Fundzi (fund + ponzi) opportunities. But on the other hand, I can see how you may not want to be subject to the erratic behaviour of Mr Market.About Dan Bird: As the founder of Thornwood Hill LLP, I specialize in credit and alternatives asset management. With over 25 years of experience in the financial industry, I have a proven track record of managing diverse portfolios across the credit spectrum, from direct lending, to special opportunities and distressed debt to liquid credit. My expertise lies in identifying and executing strategic investment opportunities, ensuring optimal risk management, and delivering strong returns for clients. I am passionate about creating value through innovative and tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of each investor.* LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/daniel-bird-18456a42About the Show: Investology is a podcast dedicated to rethinking investment management and uncovering new ways to deliver better outcomes for investors.

Pulitzer Prize-winning cultural critic Robin Givhan joins Monica L. Miller, professor and co-curator of Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, the Costume Institute exhibition now on view at The Met, for a conversation about the crossroads of fashion, culture, identity, and art — and the life of the great designer Virgil Abloh, as told in Givhan's new biography, Make It Ours: Crashing the Gates of Culture with Virgil Abloh. The first Black designer to serve as artistic director of Louis Vuitton in the brand's 164-year history, Virgil Abloh's appointment as head of menswear in 2018 shocked the fashion industry. Blurring the lines between luxury and streetwear, Abloh embodied a new way forward for his industry — and in her spellbinding new biography, Givhan shows that Abloh's story is the story of a revolution in fashion and culture, a story that upends a century's worth of ideas about race, class, creativity, and taste. Hear Givhan tell that story — from his early career as an architect to his complex relationship with mentor Kanye West to his meteoric rise and tragic death at 41 of a rare form of cancer — honoring the legacy of a singular creative force whose influence is still rippling through American culture. "Robin's look into the life and work of the late, great, Virgil Abloh is thoughtful, intelligent, honest, and masterfully crafted. Virgil's freethinking and influence on the possibilities of what creativity can be was a tour de force." — Marc Jacobs

Sean Barnes, President of Wolf Executives and former VP of IT, HR, ESG, and Leadership Development in oil and gas, shares how building a personal brand became the biggest unlock of his life. From introverted “IT nerd” hiding behind a keyboard… …to an executive leading multiple functions and launching his own company… Sean walks through the exact mindset shifts and strategies that helped him build a reputation as a problem solver, leader builder, and trusted executive partner. Using examples from brands like Nike, Lamborghini, and Louis Vuitton, Sean breaks personal branding down to its simplest form: What are you known for when you're not in the room?   Podcast Show Notes – Episode 257 | 11.25.2025 Episode Title: From Introverted IT Nerd to Executive Leader: Building a Powerful Personal Brand   Key Moments 00:00 – Opening and introduction 01:14 – Who actually has a personal brand? 01:53 – Nike vs. Reebok: what brand really is 03:29 – The introverted kid in the corner 04:21 – Discovering technology and drive 05:48 – Ladder climbed… purpose missing 07:06 – “I think I can lead HR” (and getting shut down) 10:39 – The email that changed everything 11:44 – Becoming VP of IT and HR overnight 12:08 – Learning to lead people, not just systems 13:11 – “All ships rise with the tide” 13:36 – Adding PMO and ESG to the mix 14:00 – Stacking domains: IT, HR, PMO, ESG, HSE, leadership development 15:08 – Entrepreneurship and adversity 15:40 – What this has to do with personal brand 16:06 – Lamborghini and Louis Vuitton: one-word associations 16:37 – Brand in its simplest form 17:20 – The three pillars: Clarity, Visibility, Value 17:37 – Clarity: getting real feedback (even from your nemesis) 18:55 – Aim your brand: who do you want to become? 19:29 – Visibility: how you show up in rooms and inboxes 20:28 – LinkedIn done simply 21:21 – Turning events into content 21:38 – Value: give more than you take 22:22 – The results: reputation, influence, and invitations 23:50 – Why this is a marathon, not a sprint 24:23 – Being spoiled for choice 25:33 – The playbook & closing challenge Key Takeaways Everyone already has a personal brand — it's what people say about you when you're not in the room, whether you've been intentional about it or not. Clarity comes first: you need to know what you're known for today and what you want to be known for tomorrow, then close that gap with deliberate growth. Visibility matters: how you show up in meetings, emails, conferences, and on LinkedIn shapes your executive presence and reputation. Value is the engine: approach every interaction by giving more than you take, even when it's tiring, that's how trust and reputation are built. Adversity and stretch roles are brand accelerators: saying yes to hard, unfamiliar opportunities forces growth and creates powerful stories about who you are as a leader. A strong personal brand gives you options: when you're known and trusted, you're no longer trapped in toxic cultures, you're “spoiled for choice” in your career.   Host: Sean Barnes Website: https://www.wolfexecutives.com   https://www.seanbarnes.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/seanbarnes/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/wolfexecutives https://www.linkedin.com/company/thewayofthewolf/ LinkedIn Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7284600567593684993/ The Wolf Leadership Series: https://wolfexecutives.com/wolf-leadership-series/ YouTube: youtube.thewayofthewolf.com Twitter: https://x.com/the_seanbarnes https://x.com/wolfexecutives Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_seanbarnes https://www.instagram.com/wolfexecutives https://www.instagram.com/the_wayofthewolf TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the_seanbarnes Email: Sean@thewayofthewolf.com Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Way-of-the-Wolf-Podcast/B08JJNXJ6C Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2BTGdO25Vop3GTpGCY8Y8E?si=ea91c1ef6dd14f15

This week on Blamo!, we're joined by a true designer's designer: Nur Abbas. Nur is based in Portland, Oregon, and his résumé reads like a tour through every corner of modern fashion. He's designed for Margiela, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton; worked alongside Christophe Lemaire on UniqloU; served as Design Director for Nike ACG; and even did a stint at Yeezy.What struck me most in our conversation is how seamlessly he's moved between worlds—ultra-luxury houses and global, accessible brands—and how much they actually have in common. Nur has a rare perspective on what ties them together and what separates them.We dive into his design studio, Onlylight; his new project, Parsel; gorp culture and the legacy of Nike ACG; why it's always the person—not the clothes—that makes a fit; and how the best design is almost always a team sport.PARSELgnuhr*Sponsored by Bezel - the trusted marketplace for buying and selling your next luxury watch  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Sarah Williams, founder and CEO of Leading Culture and former director at GAP Consulting for 23 years, brings her accounting background and business growth strategy expertise to a spirited debate about ROI, value-based pricing, and why companies leave money on the table.  From her home in New Zealand (Mark's second favorite country), Sarah challenges conventional pricing wisdom—arguing that ROI applies to both B2B and B2C, that we should ignore competitors when determining value, and that the antidote to the curse of knowledge is thinking with a beginner's mind.  Mark pushes back on opportunity costs, explains why competitor pricing matters, and uses everything from vests to Louis Vuitton handbags to make his points in this engaging conversation about helping customers understand the true value of what they're buying.   Why You Have to Check Out Today's Podcast: Understand why teaching customers to think in ROI is the fastest way to eliminate buyer's remorse, increase prices, and differentiate from competitors who focus on features. Discover the beginner's mind approach that prevents the #1 mistake pricing experts make—assuming customers know what seems "obvious" to you. Master vulnerability-based trust by inviting customers to ask questions without fear—the counterintuitive sales technique that accelerates deals faster than "looking professional".   "Think in terms of value from the customer's perspective." – Sarah Williams   Topics Covered: 03:01 - Why ROI Should Be Everyone's Decision-Making Framework 06:10 - Helping Customers Think in ROI Terms: Your Job as the Provider 08:12 - Utility in Economics: The B2C Alternative to Monetary ROI 20:00 - The Opportunity Cost Debate: Pricing vs. Budgeting Decisions 25:19 - Differentiation Value: Starting with Competitor's Price, Then Adding 27:57 - Louis Vuitton vs. $40 Handbags: Conspicuous Consumption and What People Really Buy 32:31 - Starting with a Blank Slate: Thinking Myopically About Customer Value 35:32 - Final Advice: Think in Terms of Value from the Customer's Perspective   Key Takeaways: ROI on its own can be a decision-making framework. From the point of view of maybe even making a personal decision, I can think about, well, what's the return on investment? And that might even be an investment of my time." - Sarah Williams "We're doing our customers a disservice if we're not helping them to think in terms of ROI. Like, what really am I getting? Because buyer's remorse is really, really prevalent. People make split-second decisions now and then live to regret it 24 hours later." - Sarah Williams "In economics, there's this concept called utility, right? So, I think in terms of when you're thinking B2C, now you're shifting the conversation a little bit more towards the utility angle in economics." - Sarah Williams   People / Resources Mentioned: Jim Collins: Author of "Good to Great" Chip and Dan Heath: Authors of "Made to Stick" and the concept of the curse of knowledge Patrick Lencioni: Leadership expert who popularized vulnerability-based trust and predictive trust concepts GAP Consulting: Where Sarah served as director for 23 years Complete Learning Solutions: Where Sarah was Chief Inspiration Officer Louis Vuitton: Used as example of luxury pricing vs. commodity pricing iPhone: Example of blue ocean differentiation where customers don't compare competitor prices Huawei: Mentioned as iPhone alternative that iPhone users don't consider when upgrading   Connect with Sarah Williams: Email: sarah@leadingculture.co.nz Website: https://www.leadingculture.co.nz/home  AI Summit Link: https://www.leadingculture.co.nz/ai-summit-registration-page   Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com

Her work often transforms everyday emotion into poetry, a reflection of her belief that truth and art are inseparable.From her early days producing music programs in Sydney to leading high-profile campaigns for Louis Vuitton, Nike, Ralph Lauren, and Google, Effie's path has been defined by versatility and courage. She has collaborated with creative giants like BBC, Ogilvy, Smithsonian Channel, and Pulse Films, proving her ability to balance artistry with precision. Each project reveals her gift for marrying visual rhythm with emotional depth, a kind of musicality that turns moving images into symphonies.Now developing a short film and a reality TV pilot, Effie Theos stands as both artist and survivor, shaping stories that challenge the familiar and dare audiences to feel more deeply.

Are you starting to panic over how to reward your team for another year well done? Should you show appreciation in the first place? Kiera gives advice on how to figure out those end-of-year bonuses, parties, trips, and more, plus how not to stress about it. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Kiera Dent (00:01) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera, and I hope you're just having an amazing day. I hope you're loving your life. I hope you remember that, honest to goodness, this is such a blessing. We get to work in dentistry. How fun is that? And I just hope you remember that we are so blessed to give back to people. We're blessed to be in dentistry. Dental A Team's mission is to positively impact the world of dentistry in the greatest way possible. So that's what we're here for. And the job of this podcast is to give you tactical practical tips that elevate your mind, elevate your thinking. help your practice be more profitable, more fun, more successful. That's what we're here for. So with that today, I just thought it'd be fun. Like end of year bonuses, trips, parties, like how do you even decide what to do? This comes up often in our consulting offices, like I don't know what to do. We had an in-person mastermind meeting and I remember the doctors, there were team members there too, so we had it. Doctors and leadership team members and the doctor was like, team members, just tell us what you want. And the teams are like, we just want to be appreciated. And they're like, we know you want more than that. And so I just thought today it'd be fun to just kind of do a rift with you of what are some of ideas? What are some things you can do pros and cons? So doctors, you can work with your team of really what can I do for this end of year and what's the most powerful and hopefully just giving you some food for thought today, making this tactical for you. So when I'm looking at end of year bonuses, number one, ⁓ I hate surprises. So me as a business owner, I actually set a budget for what our end of year will be, whether it's bonuses, trips, parties, I don't care what it is, I try to set that. And right now I'm trying to release this early, so hey, you could be proactive on it, but for me, we actually have a budget for it. And then I don't like to do big expenses, that's just not my jam, I don't enjoy it, unless I'm buying like a big vehicle or something like that, that I can have an immediate write off. But even that, I try to keep my cash and just get the write off for it. So with that, when I'm doing end of year, like I said, budget it out, project it out, and then start saving. whatever month this is releasing, however many more months you've got through end of year, let's say we're going to do $5,000. We'll break that up over the next, let's say we've got five months left, save $1,000. I put mine into a high yield savings account. That way the money's there, I can spend it it's not hitting me in December when everything else is hitting me. So that's what I'm going to do is whether it's a bonus, trip or the party. Like you can set a budget, doctors, you don't have to let your team decide what you're going to do. And oftentimes I like to set that as a percentage. of what we're doing. So if I know that we're going to do XYZ and I know my overhead's at 50%, well, I could do like 1 % or 2 % of that. That way my overhead's at 51 or 52 % with this cost, right? That makes it really nice and easy. And then I'm going to be able to figure out the budget from there. So that's one piece. Or you can just say, I want to do $5,000 or I want to do this. Or like, let me look this up if we want to do a trip or a party, let me figure this out. So for our team, we figured it out. This is how much we spend every single year per number of team members. I can then plug that into my projections for the next year. So I know based on the size of the team, where we're going, how much this is going to cost us, it's really going to help you then just budget it out. And I think knowing the budgets, putting it into our projections, then we're not getting these psycho surprise expenses. This is hopefully going to help you not cry in December, because so many offices are like, I had the worst December. And I'm like, well, yeah, we have all the holiday time. We're not doing as much dentistry. And we get hit with all the expenses. Double, triple, quadruple whammy. not a super fun month. So let's cut the crying in December and make this easy. Now, how do I decide if it's going to be a bonus, a trip or a party? Well, that depends on your team, depends on what you're doing it for. What's our why behind your, why you're doing this? What do you want to achieve out of this is really something I want you to look at of why are we doing this? So for some people it's like, Hey, we set this huge lofty goal. So we're going to do a bonus of X amount. Again, looking at your numbers to determine that amount. I love percentages. ⁓ or dollar amount so that way you just know what you need to do. So that could be a bonus system that you put into place of, hey, we crush it, we hit this. It could be for your leadership team possibly. It could also be for your teammates, whatever it is, but that can also, that could be a bonus. It could also just be, we want to thank you. ⁓ Do we go on a trip? That's again, dependent upon your team. Is your team more bonus? Are they more trip? Are they more party? Is it a combination of it? And also what feels good to you as the owner? What do you want to do? What's going to help you celebrate this? That's going to be a decision for you to make. And so when I'm looking at this, you can have an anonymous survey. Some people get so excited about trips, but then when you start to get into the logistics, it's like, well, how much is this going to cost? we do a plus one? How much time is that going to be away from the business? What is this really going to cost all the way around? And is that worth it? I tell teams, I'm like, rock on. If you want to do this, figure out the cost. Let's figure it out. Put it in our production. Let's add it into our monthly piece. That way we can pay for it. Awesome. Again. I don't want these things coming out of craziness. I like to plan for them, prepare for them and have the whole team help you. Now, if you're gonna do a party, a lot of times I like parties over bonuses. And I know I might have unpopular opinions on this, but what I found is as a team member, like X amount of dollars doesn't weight as heavily as something that maybe I wouldn't buy for myself. So for example, ⁓ those like red light masks, that's one of the things that are out there. The Dyson and then if you don't know what I'm talking about, go check these out. The Dyson blow dart. Like that thing is insanely expensive. I'm probably not gonna spend it on myself, but it would be awesome if I were to get it. ⁓ What other things? The Aura ring. A lot of people want the Aura ring. They don't wanna drop 400 bucks and they don't wanna pay the monthly subscription. ⁓ Other gift ideas like a Roomba, a Roomba lawnmower, a fire pit, a, I don't know. We've done like AirPods. We've done the virtual realities. ⁓ Like the Apple Vision Pro. Those are the things people are not going to buy for themselves oftentimes, but that weights heavier than if I were to give you 500 or a thousand dollars. Now I understand that people like cash, but as a team member, what I will tell you is I had an office, give me an end of year bonus. We got it in our card. It was based on longevity. It was based on these pieces. That cash did not actually weigh as heavy because what I did is I went and spent it on bills. And so instead, like getting an Apple Vision Pro, I remember the day I got that, I was like, oh my gosh, like this is so rad. I never would have bought it for myself. How incredible, or getting a KitchenAid, or getting a Louis Vuitton wallet. And I understand that not everybody's going to want these things. like, no, I don't care about those things. But what's fun sometimes on the parties is you're able to have this really fun time. We do a raffle in our company. That's what I've decided to do. And I picked this up from Midwestern University's dental college, is every year we did a raffle. We all got to do that. all these awesome prizes. And then every year they gave us some type of swag and they gave us like a holiday party. So I didn't get an end of year bonus. And what I noticed was people enjoyed those so much. Everybody looked forward to it. Everybody got excited about it. Everybody walked out with these awesome gifts. Nobody knew what they were walking out with. We could see all the gifts. So was like, oh my gosh, who's going to get the huge TV? Who's going to get the MacBook Air? Who's going to get XYZ? And they like, all the gifts weren't super high end. All of them weren't low end, but it was something really, really awesome. And then I thought they were so smart because they gave out branded swag. So it was umbrellas, jackets, ⁓ just things that we would use like lunch bags that were super appropriate. But think about it, that's amazing marketing power. I was walking around with this swag. I still have it to this day. I have a lot of the stuff that I got from it. But that's what I decided to do because it would just be fun. So for us and our company for end of year, our team knows. I do it on Cyber Monday, happens every year. We do a holiday party, we dress up, we have an ugly sweater contest, and then we raffle off. So we play fun games at the company. We all just get together. We're a virtual team. Otherwise I take everybody to dinner or we do an awesome fun experience. And then we raffle. And I go hardcore on these prizes. I go do fun things for our team. And for me, it's more fun for me to do this than to write them and just give out an end of year bonus. That doesn't mean that I don't also have end of year bonuses for certain team members, certain players that we do put into place. We used to do trips, we used to have retreats, we used have those pieces. ⁓ And then my teams are telling me that the retreats were actually not that fun, the trips, because they had to find childcare, they had to add another day on the road. We already are a traveling company. So could we just combine certain things and actually stop traveling? So when you're looking at your end of year bonus or you're looking at these ideas, how do you decide is one, know yourself and what do you want to do? Two, look at your budget of what we can do. And then three, figure out what's going to motivate your team. And ultimately what we're trying to do with this is we're trying to show appreciation. I truly did survey a group of people, a group of team members, and they said, all we actually want is just to be appreciated. Now, I hear that, but I think that's something you can do consistently. So I have some doctors who have like literally rocks in their pocket and they like move it over for every team member that they compliment throughout that day. I have some team members who will write letters to team members. I have some who just have genuine one-on-one check-ins. But I think overall, the ultimate goal is that we want to show appreciation throughout the whole year and then do something fun for end of year to celebrate, to get into the pieces. But what I will tell you is some people, they hate these end of year bonuses because it feels like it's met not with the appreciation that people were hoping for. So for you, I feel like figure out what's going to make you so happy. Figure out the budget based on your numbers of what you're willing to spend. and then figure out what's going to motivate your team. And it's an easy way for you to figure out how do I decide? Well, here it is. And guess what? You're not going to get it right. But for me, I look forward to our holiday party every single year. I know our team looks forward to it. I know we have a ton of fun and we've paired it with our live to give. So we do a team portion and then we also go out and we give back to our community and we do that as a bonding thing together as a group. And I think it's so special and that's what we've chosen to do. And for me, that lights my fire. I know my budget. I know what I can do and I get so excited. So really mull on this. Of course, we're happy to help you talk about these ideas. This is what we help our clients prep for. This is how they don't have those end of year like, my gosh, this is so hard. So with that, reach out if we can help you. But hopefully this gave you a couple of ideas. And if you have great ideas that you're doing or how you set up, email us Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. I'd love to hear your ideas. I'd love to hear what you're doing. I'd love to hear the successes because at the end of the day, this should be fun. It should be a celebration and team members. I just want to highlight for you, say thank you. because your doctor and your owners don't have to do this for you. Not all offices do that. So if you have a doctor and owner who's doing that, it means the world to them if you'll just say thank you, because they truly love you. They want to take care of you. They want to surprise and delight you. so acknowledging that is always going to reinforce great behavior. So team members say thank you, doctors show your appreciation. Reach out, Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. Enjoy the end of the year. Start budgeting now so it's not chaotic. And as always, thanks for listening. I'll catch you next time on The Dental A Team Podcast.

Kick the day off with real talk: from an icon’s private battle to a viral fashion rumor, from youth intimacy in crisis to a pulpit meltdown — welcome to the full-spectrum rundown. In a brutally honest sit-down, Gucci Mane and his wife Keyshia Ka’oir opened up about his diagnosis of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, revealing how she monitors his phone and behavior to intervene when episodes of psychosis strike. Meanwhile, a claim that Cardi B had struck a $55 million deal to become a brand ambassador for Louis Vuitton was quickly shot down by the brand, underscoring how celebrity-rumor culture and luxury marketing collide online. During Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the crew took on how teenage dating abuse looks in the digital age, noting that about 1 in 12 high-school students report physical violence from a partner and nearly 1 in 10 report sexual violence.

Ep. 393 Matt Lowe fills in while Ken takes his wife to wine country this week. They discuss Don Lemon tells Liberals to arm themselves, Katie Porter's temper, locking up an illegal immigrant cop, “Let's Go Brandon” shirts, male gaze, an escapee in Columbus Day, George Santos gets out of prison, and Epstein's flight manifests. Headlines & High Finance Epstein Flight Manifest: The names are out! Dave and Matt scroll through 118 pages, noting high-profile passengers including Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, Alan Dershowitz, and Donald Trump (accompanied by his wife and daughter on a trip in the mid-90s). Political Backflips: The crew discusses Don Lemon, a self-described liberal, advocating for citizens—specifically black and brown people—to legally arm themselves to resist government overreach (like ICE raids), claiming this is the exact purpose of the Second Amendment. Katie Porter Rage: Democratic Representative Katie Porter is scrutinized for screaming “Get out of my effing shot” and dealing with accusations of abusive behavior toward her staff as she runs for Governor of California. George Santos Commuted: George Santos' sentence for wire fraud and identity theft was commuted, sparking discussion about his personality and legal troubles in the U.S. and Brazil. Sports, Status & Shopping Gators Coaching Hot Seat: Speculation mounts over whether the Florida Gators will fire coach Billy Napier during their upcoming bye week, coinciding with the Florida-Georgia game tradition. The Birkin Bag Bandit: Matt shares the shock of his eight-year-old, self-proclaimed "bougiest kid," asking for a $100,000 Birkin bag for Christmas after previously requesting a Louis Vuitton bag. Life in the Fast Lane: Dave ribs Matt about his wife's transformation into a luxury traveler, refusing to fly anywhere without first class seats and Sky Club access following a vacation together. JD Pritsker's Winnings: Illinois Governor JD Pritsker disclosed over a million dollars in gambling winnings on his tax returns, which he lightheartedly attributed to "a good day at the casino." Controversies & Chaos ICE Arrests Officer: A police officer in Hover Park, Illinois, originally from Montenegro, was arrested by ICE after it was discovered he overstayed his tourist visa from 2015. GDC Trouble: Discussion on the ongoing problems within the Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC), including inmates walking off work details (like a recent case in Carol County) and high levels of corruption involving cash exchanged in fast-food bags. Let's Go Brandon Ban: A Federal Court of Appeals upheld a Michigan high school's ban on "Let's Go Brandon" shirts, a decision the hosts believe the school will regret for drawing more attention to the protest slogan. The Male Gaze is Back: The hosts react to CNN's declaration that the "male gaze" has returned, connecting it to Victoria's Secret returning to hot models and the cultural response to figures like Sydney Sweeney. Portland Nude Bike Protest: Matt and Dave discuss the bizarre World Naked Bike Ride in Portland, held to protest pollution and raise awareness for cyclist vulnerability, but mostly serving as a shocking display against the National Guard. Ambler Road Project: Matt's closing thoughts focus on the federal Ambler Road project in Alaska, which he urges listeners to oppose due to foreign entities being slated to drill oil for shipment to China.

Jamie Kennedy's return to Undressed is like a double shot of espresso—smooth, bold, and a little wild. In this second part of our 100th episode, Jamie opens up about love, money, and the kind of bag that can make a grown man tear up. He paints a cinematic picture of gifting his “Audrey Hepburn” of a girlfriend a $4,000 Louis Vuitton from the Beverly Center—the shriek, the joy, the protective hook for the bag in her car—and then confesses he's eyeing a Birkin next (“thirty grand, chumps!”). It's the kind of moment that makes you laugh while tugging at your heart, especially as he reveals she didn't grow up with nice things and now cherishes every detail. From there, the convo swings from the surreal (Jamie's jaw dropping at a military parade featuring Kim Jong-un, Xi Jinping, and Putin) to the hilarious (banter about whether “the gays” would make jail “pretty” and Martha Stewart's jail doilies) to pure Hollywood gossip—like the shocker that Sabrina Carpenter's aunt is actually Bart Simpson (Nancy Cartwright!) and the low-key fortune Jennifer Tilly made off The Simpsons. But the real pulse of this episode beats in Jamie's vulnerability. He opens up about losing both parents, downsizing his life pre-COVID, Alyssa moving in, their pandemic ping-pong and naked sunbathing, and his current crossroads: rebuying his old Los Feliz home or starting fresh in Beverly Hills, Vegas, or even New Orleans. It's a midlife-meets-career confession that feels both raw and refreshingly unfiltered. Then comes the mystical twist. During his live coffee reading, a heart literally forms at the bottom of his cup—Pol' and Patrik see it too—and the energy in the studio shifts. The reading nudges Jamie toward love, partnership, and maybe even fatherhood (“Alyssa would be such a good mom”), as he wrestles with whether to finally “put a ring on it.” It's intimate, disarming, and strangely prophetic. Of course, the episode isn't all tears. Jamie dives headfirst into Runway Rundown, roasting and raving over Sophie Turner's sultry “I'm single” lace look, Chloe Sevigny's “Halloween Horror Nights” couture disaster, Austin Butler's 1975 porn-leather misstep, and even his own past fashion crimes (a black mesh headbanded ensemble he swears was for Kicking It Old School, but the hosts say screams “Motherlode at 3 a.m.”). The mix of self-deprecation and bold honesty is pure Jamie. By the end, you've laughed at Missy Elliott booting him out of a Phantom, gasped at the Seminole Hard Rock “death suite” he unknowingly slept in, and leaned forward as he weighs buying Raven-Symoné's Porsche. It's the ultimate Jamie Kennedy blend—Hollywood chaos, heartfelt confessions, and a coffee reading that feels like a cosmic mic drop. This is another Hurrdat Media Production.
