Thinking of starting your own business? Whether it's for freedom, profits, or making an impact, success begins with clarity and preparation. In this week's episode of the I Hate Numbers podcast, we explore how to start with success in mind—and avoid the common pitfalls that derail so many new businesses. Drawing from decades of real-world experience, Mahmood shares what it really takes to build a sustainable, profitable business—from defining your "why" to knowing your numbers. Main Topics & Discussion Know Your "Why" Your "why" is the foundation of your business. It's your motivation and direction. Whether it's freedom, profit, social impact, or personal pride—clarity here keeps you focused when challenges arise. Define Success On Your Terms Success looks different for everyone. Is it financial freedom, more time, job creation, or personal fulfilment? Define what success means to you—and how you'll know when you've arrived. Set SMART Goals & KPIs Vague goals like "get more clients" don't cut it. Use SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) to set clear targets. Track progress with KPIs like: Income and profit targets Website traffic and conversions Client retention and churn rates Understand Your Customer Business success depends on knowing your customer. Who are they? What problems do they have? How does your product or service solve them? Remember the 7Ps of Marketing: Product, Price, Promotion, Place, Packaging, Positioning, People Know Your Numbers Numbers are your business compass. Get comfortable with: Digital bookkeeping (cloud accounting recommended) Budgets and cash flow forecasts Profit targets and pricing strategies Good financial systems reduce stress and support smarter decisions. Leadership & Mindset Matter Starting a business is tough. Expect good days and bad. Success requires resilience, consistent action, and continuous learning. Good leadership is about making decisions, learning from mistakes, and staying focused. Real-World Example Mahmood reflects on starting his own business 30 years ago—from a back bedroom to building I Hate Numbers. The lessons? Clarity, systems, knowing your numbers, and staying focused on your "why". Links Mentioned in This Episode

The great escape: why the rich are fleeing Britain Keir Starmer worries about who is coming into Britain but, our economics editor Michael Simmons writes in the magazine this week, he should have ‘sleepless nights' thinking about those leaving. Since 2016, nearly 30,000 millionaires have left – ‘an outflow unmatched in the developed world'. Tax changes have made Britain a ‘hostile environment' for the wealthy, yet we are ‘dangerously dependent' on our highest earners: the top 0.01 per cent pay 6 per cent of all income tax. If the exodus is ‘half as bad' as those he has spoken to think, Simmons warns, a 2p hike to income tax looms. Michael joined the podcast to discuss further, alongside private wealth specialist James Quarmby from advisory firm Stephenson Harwood. (1:04) Next: Michael Gove interviews justice secretary Shabana Mahmood ‘There's a moment of reckoning to come' Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood tells The Spectator's editor Michael Gove in a wide-ranging interview in the magazine this week. Gove writes that he has a degree of sympathy for her, given he occupied her post for 15 months several years ago; ‘it's the most glamorous and least attractive job in the cabinet' he writes. The interview touched on grooming gangs, AI and the oath she swore on the Quran. You can hear an extract from the interview on the podcast but, for the full interview, go to Spectator TV (16:08) And finally: ‘pond terfs' versus the ‘right on' Zoe Strimpel highlights a schism that has emerged over Hampstead ladies pond in the magazine this week: whether trans women should be allowed to swim in the ladies pond. The division, between older ‘pond terfs', who are against their inclusion, and younger ‘right on' women, has only widened following the Supreme Court ruling. Far from solving the issue, the fight has only intensified. Zoe joined the podcast alongside Julie Bindel to discuss further. (27:48) Hosted by Lara Prendergast and Gus Carter. Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Patrick Gibbons.

WASHINGTON, D.C.— At this year's Data Center World 2025, held earlier this month at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, the halls were buzzing with what could only be described as industry sensory overload. As hyperscalers, hardware vendors, and infrastructure specialists converged on D.C., the sheer density of innovation underscored a central truth: the data center sector is in the midst of rapid, almost disorienting, expansion. That made it the perfect setting for the latest episode in our ongoing podcast miniseries with Nomad Futurist, aptly titled Nomads at the Frontier. This time, I sat down in person with Nabeel Mahmood, co-founder and board director of the Nomad Futurist Foundation—a rare face-to-face meeting after years of remote collaboration. “Lovely seeing you in person,” Mahmood said. “It's brilliant to get to spend some quality time at an event that's really started to hit its stride—especially in terms of content.” Mahmood noted a welcome evolution in conference programming: a shift away from vendor-heavy pitches and toward deeper, mission-driven dialogue about the sector's true challenges and future trajectory. “Events like these were getting overloaded by vendor speak,” he said. “We need to talk about core challenges, advancements, and what we're doing to improve and move forward.” A standout example of this renewed focus was a panel on disruptive sustainability, in which Mahmood joined representatives from Microsoft, AWS, and a former longtime lieutenant of Elon Musk's sustainability operations. “It's not just about e-cycling or carbon,” Mahmood emphasized. “We have to build muscle memory. We've got to do things for the right reasons—and start early.” That starting point, he argued, is education—but not in the traditional sense. Instead, Mahmood called for a multi-layered approach that spans K–12, higher education, and workforce reskilling. “We've come out from behind the Wizard of Oz curtain,” he said. “Now we're in the boardroom. We need to teach people not just how technology works, but why we use it—and how to design platforms with real intention.” Mahmood's remarks highlighted a growing consensus among forward-thinking leaders: data is no longer a support function. It is foundational. “There is no business, no government, no economy that can operate today—or in the future—without data,” he said. “So let's measure what we do. That's the KPI. That's the minimum threshold.” Drawing a memorable parallel, Mahmood compared this kind of education to swimming lessons. “Sure, you might not swim for 20 years,” he said. “But if you learned as a kid, you'll still be able to make it back to shore.” Inside-Out Sustainability and Building the Data Center Workforce of Tomorrow As our conversation continued, we circled back to Mahmood's earlier analogy of swimming as a foundational skill—like technology fluency, it stays with you for life. I joked that I could relate, recalling long-forgotten golf lessons from middle school. “I'm a terrible golfer,” I said. “But I still go out and do it. It's muscle memory.” “Exactly,” Mahmood replied. “There's a social element. You're able to enjoy it. But you still know your handicap—and that's part of it too. You know your limits.” Limits and possibilities are central to today's discourse around sustainability, especially as the industry's most powerful players—the hyperscalers—increasingly self-regulate in the absence of comprehensive mandates. I asked Mahmood whether sustainability had truly become “chapter and verse” for major cloud operators, or if it remained largely aspirational, despite high-profile initiatives. His answer was candid. “Yes and no,” he said. “No one's following a perfect process. There are some who use it for market optics—buying carbon credits and doing carbon accounting to claim carbon neutrality. But there are others genuinely trying to meet their own internal expectations.” The real challenge, Mahmood noted, lies in the absence of uniform metrics and definitions around terms like “circularity” or “carbon neutrality.” In his view, too much of today's sustainability push is “still monetarily driven… keeping shareholders happy and share value rising.” He laid out two possible futures. “One is that the government forces us to comply—and that could create friction, because the mandates may come from people who don't understand what our industry really needs. The other is that we educate from within, define our own standards, and eventually shape compliance bodies from the inside out.” Among the more promising developments Mahmood cited was the work of Rob Lawson-Shanks, whose innovations in automated disassembly and robotic circularity are setting a high bar for operational sustainability. “What Rob is doing is amazing,” Mahmood said. “His interest is to give back. But we need thousands of Robs—people who understand how it works and can repurpose that knowledge back into the tech ecosystem.” That call for deeper education led us to the second major theme of our conversation: preparing the next generation of data center professionals. With its hands-on community initiatives, Nomad Futurist is making significant strides in that direction. Mahmood described his foundation as “connective tissue” between industry stakeholders and emerging talent, partnering with organizations like Open Compute, Infrastructure Masons, and the iMasons Climate Accord. Earlier this year, Nomad Futurist launched an online Academy that now features five training modules, with over 200 hours of content development in the pipeline. Just as importantly, the foundation has built a community collaboration platform—native to the Academy itself—that allows learners to directly engage with content creators. “If a student has a question and the instructor was me or someone like you, they can just ask it directly within the platform,” Mahmood explained. “It creates comfort and accessibility.” In parallel, the foundation has beta launched a job board, in partnership with Infrastructure Masons, and is developing a career pathways platform. The goal: to create clear entry points into the data center industry for people of all backgrounds and education levels—and to help them grow once they're in. “Those old jobs, like the town whisperer, they don't exist anymore,” Mahmood quipped. “Now it's Facebook, Twitter, social media. That's how people get jobs. So we're adapting to that.” By providing tools for upskilling, career matching, and community-building, Mahmood sees Nomad Futurist playing a key role in preparing the sector for the inevitable generational shift ahead. “As we start aging out of this industry over the next 10 to 20 years,” he said, “we need to give people a foundation—and a reason—to take it forward.”

En janvier 2025, les nommés sont :- Andrea Laszlo De Simone, Un momento migliore (Hamburger Records, 2024)- Soleá Morente, No temas nada (feat. Kiki Morente), tiré de l'album Mar en calma (Discos Probeticos, 2024)- Mauricio Flores, No Funcionó (Palm Street Music, 2024)- Ornella Vanoni, Sant'allegria (feat.

Issus du peuple Antandroy, une communauté chamanique du sud de Madagascar, ces artistes utilisent leurs chants et instruments traditionnels pour invoquer les esprits « Kukulamp » et ainsi soigner les villageois, éloignés de toute médecine moderne. L'origine de ce projet unique remonte à une commande du Musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac, qui demandait à Loya de concevoir un concert pour accompagner une exposition dédiée à Madagascar, en s'inspirant des archives sonores du musée. C'est ainsi que Loya découvre la musique de Remanindry et en tombe sous le charme. En 2019, il se rend à Tuléar pour rencontrer ce musicien en personne, donnant lieu à une rencontre musicale d'une rare intensité. De cette alchimie est née l'idée de collaborer sur Blakaz Antandroy, un projet ambitieux qui marie la musique chamanique Antandroy à l'univers de la musique électronique.Remanindry, comme Loya, est né dans l'océan Indien. Tous les deux grandissent en fréquentant des cérémonies faisant appel aux esprits. Les sons, les odeurs et les couleurs intenses lors des cérémonies spirituelles imprègnent profondément tous leurs sens. Loya arrive en Europe et s'initie aux instruments électroniques qu'il va maîtriser plus tard. Remanindry commence son apprentissage de la musique Antandroy sous la direction éclairée de sa belle-mère, elle-même percussionniste et chanteuse dans les cérémonies. Ancien lutteur, il découvre sa voix puissante qui résonne dans sa carrure imposante. Il apprend le lokanga (violon malgache) et intègre tout le répertoire de sa famille. Il pratique les cérémonies dans tout le sud de Madagascar et décide d'habiter à Tuléar lorsque sa famille s'agrandit. Il fait la rencontre d'autres musiciens malgaches, notamment Régis Gizavo qui découvre tout son talent exceptionnel. Il a été aussi membre du groupe Ny Malegasy Orkestra qui a porté l'étendard de la chanson malgache à l'international. De son côté, Loya commence son apprentissage en devenant ingénieur informaticien. Il apprend à maîtriser les machines et en parallèle entame un parcours d'apprentissage dans les musiques classiques et le jazz. Autodidacte dans les musiques électroniques, il développe son propre processus pour retranscrire les musiques traditionnelles de l'océan Indien sur ses machines.Titres interprétés au grand studio- Koulé Live RFI- Be Sadia + Tokalava + Zilikala Ekarety, extraits de l'album- Kukulamp Live RFI.Line Up : Sébatien Lejeune alias Loya (machines).Son : Jérémie Besset, Mathias Taylor et Camille Roch.► Album Blakaz Antandroy (LZ Records 2024).Site internet - YouTube - Facebook

After being raised in a household where singing wasn't encouraged, her show explores the boundaries we put up around ourselves and what it means to finally find love and your voice. New research has quantified for the first time how many young people have been diagnosed with gender dysphoria by GPs in England. Academics at the University of York studied a decade's worth of NHS records and discovered a 50-fold increase in this particular diagnosis between 2011 and 2021. However each general practice will only see one or two such patients each year. Anita speaks to Professor of Health Policy Tim Doran.The French have been told to wear the same T-shirt for five days before washing it, and sports clothing three times.

Anita is joined by Professor Sally Bloomfield from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine to tell us more. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Emma Pearce
