In some of Hollywood's best-loved movies, Jack Nicholson played jokers, sailors, inmates – even the Devil himself. But he never played by the rules. He allegedly mooned a crowd of thousands at a basketball game. His bedroom kinks were laid bare in the papers. He fought the MPAA and the LAPD. And in 1994, he attempted to establish his own set of rules when he attacked an idling Mercedes-Benz with a two-iron.

Auf dem Rücken der Beschäftigten werden die Ausschüttungen an die Aktionäre gesichert. Anfang März 2025 kündigte Mercedes-Benz wegen rückläufiger Autoverkäufe ein Sparprogramm von 5 Milliarden Euro bis 2027 an. Die geplanten Maßnahmen könnten laut Medienberichten den Abbau von bis zu 20.000 Arbeitsplätzen zur Folge haben. Zum Vergleich: Mercedes beschäftigte Ende 2024 175.300 Arbeitnehmer,Weiterlesen

250515PC: KI weiss alles – das gesammelte Wissen der WeltMensch Mahler am 15.05.2025 Gestern saßen wir zusammen im Freundeskreis und sprachen über eine Predigt, die wir gemeinsam gehört hatten. Ich hatte den Text im Rechner offen und kam versehentlich auf eine Taste. KI meldete sich. Soll ich ihnen die fünf wichtigsten Kernpunkte erarbeiten? Ich klickte auf Ja. Wenig später: eine astreine Analyse des Testes, fünf blitzsaubere Punkte knapp zusammengefasst. Haben sie noch Fragen? Ich hatte und fragte: darf man zweifeln? Kurze Zeit später: sehr differenziert und pointiert das, was der Text zu dieser Frage irgendwo erwähnt hatte. Mir wurde es etwas unheimlich. Es war reiner Zufall – und KI hat mir quasi ein blitzsauberes Exzerpt der Predigt verfasst.Ich erinnerte mich an eine Veranstaltung vor einigen Jahren. Auf dem Campus der Uni Stuttgart wurde Hawk, der Superrechner, leistungsstärkster der Welt, vorgestellt. Alle waren da: Kretschmann der MP BA-Wü, die Fraunhofer, die Uni, Mercedes Benz, Bosch. Das Abschlussreferat hielt der Präsident der Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft.„Jahrtausende hat sich die Menschheit die Frage nach Gott gestellt. Heute haben wir diese Frage beantwortet. Hier ist das gesammelte Wissen der Menschheit in einer Maschine vorhanden. Dieser Rechner ist das Weltwissen, die Weltweisheit. Dieser Computer ist Gott.“Auch damals überlief mich ein kalter Schauer. Ist die Transzendenz jetzt endgültig entschlüsselt? Vor einem habe ich Angst. „Die Geister, die ich rief ...“ Ich glaube, nicht wir beherrschen die KI, sondern die KI beherrscht uns. Nicht erst in Zukunft. Schon jetzt. Und das mit der Gottesfrage? Da muss ich noch darüber nachdenken und studieren – allerdings ganz ohne KI. Hosted on Acast.

When Technological Innovation Meets Human-Centered Experience   Shep interviews Joseph A. Michelli, professor of Service Excellence, speaker, organizational consultant, and best-selling author. He talks about his new book, All Business Is Personal, and how companies can blend technology with humanity to create personal connections and improve customer experiences. The case study Michelli uses throughout the book is One Medical, a perfect example of how to achieve the balance between technology and the human-to-human connections you want to make with your customers.   This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:    What are the benefits of combining technology with personal interaction in customer service?  What role does listening play in improving the customer experience?  How important is it for businesses to include digital and human touchpoints in customer interactions?  How does a seamless digital experience impact customer satisfaction and loyalty?  Why is emotional connection important in business?    Top Takeaways:    Technology, like apps and AI, makes life convenient for customers by allowing easy online scheduling or instant answers through chatbots. However, it is still the human connection that builds lasting relationships. The best businesses use tech to make things faster and simpler but always offer a human backup for when a customer needs a personal touch.  So many businesses continue to operate the same way because "that's how it's always been done." It is important to constantly ask why things are done a certain way and whether there's a better, more modern, or easier approach for customers.   Delivering a great customer experience is not just about satisfying customer needs. It's the best marketing a company can have.   People remember how you made them feel long after the transaction is over. Creating an emotional connection with your customers can transform a routine interaction into a memorable experience. Creating positive emotions through empathy, excitement, or delight builds loyalty and motivates customers to refer you to others.  Use Net Promoter Score as a guideline, not a vanity metric. While a high Net Promoter Score (NPS) can indicate customer satisfaction, the actual behavior of customers and the genuine referrals they make is what counts.   Train your employees to listen to what customers say, not just hear their words. Many businesses train their staff to communicate, but few teach them to listen deeply and with empathy. Listening well helps you understand how your product and services impact the customer's life and what it means to them.  Wow moments are not always over-the-top experiences. Going slightly beyond what's expected can create a big impact on customers. Small gestures such as remembering a customer's name or a personal preference can elevate a service experience from just fine to amazing.  Plus, Joseph shares how One Medical transformed healthcare by blending technology with personal service, creating a more convenient and customer-focused experience. Tune in!  Quote:   "There's a difference between personalization and a personal connection.”    About:    Joseph Michelli is a speaker and consultant renowned for his customer experience and leadership expertise. He has worked with global brands like  Starbucks, Mercedes-Benz, and The Ritz-Carlton Hotel.

The Rolex Effect: Why Higher Prices Build Perceived Value Hi Everyone, Carl Gould here, your #70secondCEO, just over a minute of investment per day for a lifetime of results. We're talking about increasing your fees. Now wouldn't that be nice? Just take your prices and charge more? And you'll just make more money. Isn't that great? Well, you know what, it's actually necessary. We have been talking about not just being another penguin, about standing above, about being an expert, about differentiating yourself. Wel,l guess what? People judge your quality based on your fees. Think about it, I asked you the question, what's a better watch? A Timex or a Rolex? And some of you are like, “Timex, do they even make them anymore?” Like pretending you don't know. And then when I said, How about a Rolex? You all knew what that cost, “oh, $5000 well it depends on which one you get. How much are we blinging this one out Carl?” Now you can spend 15 or above. You all knew what the Rolex cost. But none of you could figure out what the Timex would cost. Right, because we are sold on brands that are higher in price. Apple, Mercedes Benz, Jaguar, Tiffany's, you know, Rolex, and other high-end brands. What makes them high end? How do you know they're as good as they claim? The reality is you don't! The way that you judge quality is based on their price.  Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould and this has been your #70secondCEO.

You are cordially invited to the episode 405 of the Unnamed Automotive Podcast, where the hosts will deliberate on two of the most high-end SUVs available on the market. Grab your monocles, have a plate of caviar, and take a seat upon one of our exclusive thrones made solely of materials mined only from the dark side of the moon. This weeks show starts off with Benjamins sharp witted review of the 2025 Mercedes-Benz G550. A high-end SUV with humble beginnings and limited generational changes, this time around it's got a whole new motor, design and high class interior, one so fancy that Benjamin had to take extra precautions when hauling stuff around. What does the G-Class mean these days? Is it something to be celebrated or shunned for being too excessive? Then the guys take some time to talk about the 2025 Land Rover Range Rover Autobiography, a seven-seat ode to royal British motoring. Outfitted with the right equipment for towing, hauling, and ferrying passengers around, Benjamin explains how the experience in this SUV was totally different than the Benz, even though the two vehicles share similar price points. Thanks for listening!

Me encantan los Tatra, me encanta su historia, en la que aparece Porsche, los nazis, los comunistas… Y estoy seguro que vais a alucinar con estos coches adelantados a su tiempo… ¡Y no me olvido de los camiones! A Tatra se la considera la tercera marca más antigua de la historia, tras Mercedes-Benz y Peugeot. Nació nada menos que en 1850. Y es una superviviente… Sobrevivió al espionaje industrial, sobre todo de VW. Sobrevivió a dos Guerras Mundiales. Sobrevivió a la invasión de los nazis. Sobrevivió al derrumbe del socialismo en la Europa central. Y curiosamente la división de la desaparecida Checoslovaquia, la llegada del euro y el mercado único europeo acabo con ella como fabricante de turismos, pero no de camiones… Hay mucho que contar. Primero vamos a centrarnos en los coches. En realidad, los orígenes de la marca se remontan un más lejos de 1850, nada menos que a 1820, cuando Ignác Šustala funda la compañía Nesseldorf. Pero el nombre de Tatra, en honor a los montes Tatras nace como marca en 1850 cuando se comienzan a construir coches de caballos. Y ya en 1897 compran un automóvil Benz y deciden usarlo como modelo para construir una mejor. Contaron para ello con un verdadero genio, el En 1921 bajo la dirección de Ledwinka nace el Tipo 11, un coche muy moderno para su tiempo y que para mí y para muchos, marca el primer paso en el inicio del Tatra como coches muy modernos y de concepto distinto. El periodo de entre guerras había dado lugar al nacimiento de coches interesantes, pero lo mejor estaba por venir. Y llegaría de la mano no de uno, sino de “dos”, en plural, Ledwinka. ¿Por qué digo “los” Ledwinka? Porque a Hans se le une su hijo Erich que trae muchas ideas nuevas, ideas que se reflejan en el Tatra T77 de 1934, el primer coche realmente aerodinámico de la historia del automóvil. Te pongo un ejemplo: El Mercedes-Benz EQS un modelo eléctrico del que la marca presume de su coeficiente aerodinámico CX, que es de 0,20. Estamos en 2025. Volvemos a 1934, casi 100 años antes y este Tatra T77 anunciaba un CX de… ¡0,21! ¡Casi casi! E insisto, 100 años antes. Este coche montaba un poderoso motor V8 de 3 litros de refrigeración por aire, un busca de la ligereza, que primero ofreció 65 CV y luego hasta 75 CV y que iba montado detrás… pero detrás. detrás, como el 911… o el Escarabajo. Y digo esto con segundas intenciones. No, no hubo ningún Tatra denominado “escarabajo” pero sí un Tatra T97 lanzado en 1936 con motor bóxer de 4 cilindros, aerodinámica estilo Tatra y una línea que recuerda a otro coche, inicialmente llamado Kdf-Wagen lanzado en 1938 y supuestamente diseñado por Ferdinand Porsche. Esta similitud va más allá de un parecido razonable. La versión de Ferdinand Porsche es que hablaba a menudo con Ledwinka y eso le dio alguna que otra idea. Pero Tatra, tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial, demandó a VW y el litigio, que se resolvió en 1961, condeno a VW a compensar con 30 millones de marcos a Tatra… se ve antes del “diésel gate” VW ya hacia trampas. Volvamos a la Segunda Guerra Mundial, cuando Alemania invade medio Mundo y entre ese medio Mundo estaba Checoslovaquia y se encuentran con los Tatra… y a los oficiales alemanes les encantaban. En ese momento Tatra ya producía los T87, más refinados, pero también con motor trasero más grande y más potente, con versiones que rondaban los 100 CV y que superaban los 160 km/h, una velocidad de infarto en la época. Eran bonitos, distintos, bien acabados, rápidos… y muy difíciles de conducir, con ese potente V8 ahí detrás. Y los jóvenes oficiales nazis, la mayoría sin experiencia al volante, les gustaba disfrutar de la velocidad de esos coches… pero un modelo que tenía la mala costumbre de protagonizar fuertes accidentes que acabaron con la vida de muchos de ellos. Como el buen humor no falta nunca, ni en plena guerra ni entre los alemanes, la tropa llamó a estos coches “el arma secreta checoslovaca”. Los checos los llamaron los “mata nazis” y Hitler, que se ve que estaba en todo, prohibió a sus oficiales conducir esos rápidos coches. La pobre Tatra y los podres checos, en ese momento checoslovacos, no gaban para sustos. Y tras el control de país por parte de los nazis, llego el control por parte de los comunistas, pues este país era uno de los “satélites” de la extinta URSS. Pese a todo en Tatra se la ingeniaron para fabricar un nuevo modelo, el T600, pero que, dentro de la famosa, tristemente famosa, economía planificada, llamaron “Tatraplan”. En realidad, ni T600 y “Tatraplan”, era el T107 sucesor de los 77, 87 y 97. El motor, pasa de 8 a 4 cilindros bóxer, algo lógico con las penurias de la época y no es desde luego ni el mejor ni el más bonito de los Tatra. Se fabrico entre el 48 y el 51. La URSS y su zona de influencia comunista necesitaban coches de lujo… Y fruto de este problema nace el T603 un coche de calidad, muy refinado, moderno, de estética muy llamativa y con su correspondiente V8 a 90 grados, este dato no os la había dado, de 2,5 litros y 150 CV que le permitía superar con cierta holgura los 160 km/h. Pese a que el motor era ligero, no llegaba a 200 kg, y a que sus suspensiones eran muy sofisticadas para la época, seguía siendo un coche difícil de conducir… pero esto, lejos de ser un problema, hasta le daba un cierto “caché” a sus poseedores… una historia parecida a la del 911 en Norteamérica. Este modelo tuvo una larga vida, desde más o menos 1954, porque en esos momentos por razones obvias los datos no son muy fiable, hasta 1975 y fue denominado por muchos como el mejor coche del comunismo… me sumo. Tatra quería modernizar su estética y para eso contrata nada menos que a Vignale, que diseña el T613, quizás no tan original y aerodinámico, pero sí de aspecto mucho más moderno. Técnicamente era más de lo mismo, con su gran motor trasero V8 refrigerado por aire que se llevó a lo 3,5 litros y a casi 200 CV… pero los tiempos cambian y lo que en los años 70 podría ser hasta moderno, en los 80 acusaba al paso del tiempo y en los 80 y 90 era sencillamente un coche desfasado. ¿Muy atractivo? Sí. ¿Muy especial? Sí. pero desfasado. En los últimos años de su existencia se fabricaban con cuenta gotas y en total en 24 años de existencia se fabricaron alrededor de 11.000 unidades. Pero en 1999 Tatra decide dejar de fabricar coches… y centrarse en los camiones, una división en la que estaban más actualizados y en la que había tenido muchos éxitos, incluso deportivos.

Automotive artistry takes center stage as we visit Georgia's Savoy Auto Museum with curator Mary Agrusa. Unlike typical car museums focusing solely on mechanics, the Savoy presents vehicles as cultural artifacts for artistic appreciation, complete with historical storytelling.Mary reveals how Cartersville has become Georgia's "museum city" with four major institutions. The Savoy Museum itself features display techniques allowing 360-degree viewing with lighting that showcases each vehicle's design elegance. The museum's approach to interpretation, where each car's technical specs mix with historical significance, and often surprising backstories—like the unrestored 1925 Model T purchased under the strict condition it would never be restored, preserving its authentic century-old character.The Savoy connects with its community, including partnerships with local schools to encourage students to participate in prestigious events like the Great Race, fostering a new generation of automotive enthusiasts. Whether you're planning a road trip through the Southeast or seeking a destination with multiple attractions, Cartersville's museum quarter offers something for everyone.The second half of our show features a review of the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus, with its revolutionary door-to-door digital display and luxury exterior styling. This midsize luxury SUV delivers comfort to compete with rivals from Mercedes-Benz, Genesis, and Acura. Excellent fuel economy and a smooth, sophisticated driving experience, the Nautilus represents Lincoln's return to the luxury segment.Ready for your next automotive adventure?

A finales de 1997 se presentó el Clase A, un Mercedes revolucionario por su tamaño, su distribución mecánica y su tracción delantera. Era un coche clave para la marca, que quería crecer hacia arriba con Maybach y hacia abajo con este Clase A. Pero el 21 de octubre de 1997 un alce se cruzó en el camino… y Mercedes tembló. Y a mí me afectó… y mucho. Pero este asunto tuvo consecuencias muy beneficiosas… A Mercedes en esas fechas las cosas les iban bien… pero les podrían ir mejor. Por un lado, su fama de coches Premium de gran calidad era magnifica, pero tras la desaparición en 1993 del 190 gama arrancaba muy arriba, con el Clase C como oferta más asequible… Esto les privaba de competir en el sector de mercado de mayor venta en Europa y además colaboraba al envejecimiento de sus clientes, de alto poder adquisitivo, muy conservadores…. pero que envejecían año a año. Y por otro lado la marca rival de toda la vida de Mercedes, que no es otra que BMW, se había comprado la prestigiosa marca Rolls Royce, para competir con la parte más alta de la gama Mercedes. Y, como hemos dicho, Mercedes quería crecer por arriba y por abajo. Por arriba, lanzaron la desaparecida, pero muy prestigiosa marca Maybach para hacer berlinas de muy alto nivel capaces de competir con Rolls Royce. Pero necesitaban un coche de acceso y llevaban años trabajando en su Clase más asequible, el futuro A. Este modelo era toda una revolución para Mercedes y no solo por ser un tracción delantera, sino porque era muy pequeño para ser un Mercedes, solo 3.575 m de largo, bastante alto, casi 1,60 metros y con línea de monovolumen. El objetivo de conseguir una buena habitabilidad era posible gracias a su motor transversal delantero muy inclinado, lo que hacía que el capó fuese especialmente corto. Ya sabéis que en Europa los países nórdicos siempre han sido muy mirados para los temas de seguridad. Y también sabéis que en la península escandinava abundan los alces, un bicho muy grande, de hasta 1,90 metros de alto en la cruz, la parte delantera del lomo y pesar más de 500 kg. Por eso hacen la llamada Prueba del alce”. Porque ahora nos vamos al Salón de Tokio de 1997, a la presentación del nuevo Maybach, de la mano de Jürgen Hubbert que en esas fechas era el responsable máximo de la División de automóviles de pasajeros y miembro del Consejo de Administración de Mercedes-Benz… en lenguaje coloquial, uno de los jefazos. Lo que sucedió es que con el periodista Robert Collin al volante, de la revista técnica y del motor sueca Teknikens Värld, el novísimo, flamante y sofisticado Mercedes Clase A había volcado cuando se hacía la prueba del alce. Lo malo: El Clase A había volcado y no había superado la prueba del alce. Lo peor: Cuando volcó el coche, iban dentro 5 periodistas… no se produjeron lesiones serias, pero iba a ser imposible ocultarlo. Y lo pésimo: Ese mismo día un modesto Trabant fabricado en la desaparecida Alemania del Este, había pasado sin problemas la misma prueba… toda una humillación. Lo cimientos de Mercedes temblaron… Toda la comitiva de Mercedes volvió apresuradamente a Stuttgart para organizar un “Gabinete de Crisis” por el que desfilaron directivos, ingenieros, técnicos, proveedores como Bosch, de donde vino la parte más importante de la solución e incluso pilotos de Fórmula 1. Mercedes-Benz es mucha Mercedes-Benz y una metedura de pata de este calibre requería una solución drástica, sin reparar en gastos. Como primera medida, se retiraron las primeras 17.000 unidades ya vendidas, para modificarlas. Y se hicieron muchas mejoras. Toda esta crisis me pilló de lleno como responsable de las revistas de coches de la que era, entonces, la editorial más importante de España del sector. Creo que es la única vez en mi vida que recibí presiones de una marca para dar una información… más bien para no darla. A las pocas horas de conocer el famoso vuelco, se presentó en la redacción nada más y nada menos que el presidente y consejero delegado de Mercedes-Benz España, el Sr. Carlos Espinosa de los Monteros, una persona de mucho, muchísimo nivel y a quien admiro mucho… pero que me presionó lo indecible. Poniendo todos de nuestra parte finalmente llegamos a un acuerdo. Contaríamos lo que había pasado, pero diciendo que el coche accidentado no era el que se iba a vender y daríamos nuestra opinión de cómo iba el coche definitivo cuando lo probásemos. Así que muy poco después me desplace a Alemania a probar el Mercedes Clase A con todas las modificaciones citadas. Además de la prueba en carretera e incluso circuito, pude hacer tantas maniobras de esquiva como se me antojaron, incluida la famosa prueba del alce… y os aseguro que el coche respondió a la perfección.

Send us a textActor. Model. Storyteller. Dreamer.In this deeply personal, no-fluff conversation, Maradona Rebello opens up like never before — sharing his journey from a middle-class 17-year-old in Mumbai to international runways, facing the camera, and now setting his sights on the Oscars.This episode is a raw, cinematic unfolding of identity, ambition, self-doubt, and artistic evolution.We talk about:

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Wednesday morning, the 30th of April, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Gospel of Luke 5:16: “So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.” Who am I talking about here? I am talking about the Son of God, I am talking about Jesus Christ, I am talking about Immanuel - God with us. Now, if He had to do that, how much more should you and I be doing that? He did it often, not now and again. Oh my dear friend, I think this message is aimed more at me than it is at you! Contemplation - when you contemplate something. I looked up the Oxford Dictionary to find out the literal meaning of the word, “contemplate”. It means to look at thoughtfully, to think about, to think deeply and at length. It says that to contemplate is to look at, gaze at, stare at, view, regard, examine, inspect, observe, (are you getting the story?) survey, study. He contemplated. We need to ponder, you and I, how many times are we taking time out to think about the way forward? We don't, do we? We just go for it, we wing it. It is one of my favourite things and I hate myself for it. There is no time left in the world to wing it. We need to concentrate on something called time management. Remember Jesus was never late, He was never early, He was always spot on time. We think about Lazarus, His friend in the grave. “Lord, if You had come, my brother would have lived,” but the Lord commanded him to be raised from the dead. You know, it is first the mountain, and then the ministry, or your work or whatever else. If you don't spend time up the mountain, not a literal mountain, but time in the morning, praying, reading the word of God, and contemplating about what you are going to do that day, you will make some very poor decisions. Now, let us start to think.I remember, very clearly, sitting at the banks of the mighty Zambezi River, which separates Zambia from Zimbabwe, about to go across that river on a pontoon with that 20-ton Mercedes Benz truck for six weeks, leaving my young wife and children back on the farm. I was contemplating things very seriously, crying out to God to protect my family and He did. We need to hear from God first before we make any decisions. Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

De Amerikaanse economie staat met één been in een recessie. Een krimp in het eerste kwartaal, terwijl er juist op groei was gerekend. Er is recessie-angst op Wall Street en kortstondig zelfs even paniek.Deze aflevering kijken we wat er gebeurt als de Amerikanen in een recessie belanden. Wat betekent dat voor (je) Amerikaanse aandelen? Je hoort ook wie zijn schuld het is. Volgens Trump is het niet zijn schuld, maar de schuld van voorganger Biden.Ook gaat het over de stortvloed aan kwartaalcijfers.

Zelfs een partner komt met een waarschuwing, maar de eigenaar van KLM maakt zich geen zorgen. ASMI. Groeit 'gewoon' door, ondanks de handelsoorlog. Met dubbele cijfers! Daar stopt het niet, want we hebben het ook nog over Ebusco.

The rumble of engines and scent of coffee fills the air as we broadcast live from Spindletap Brewery for the fourth annual Hot Rod Tour of Texas. This event has grown from humble beginnings to become a must-attend gathering for automotive enthusiasts across the Lone Star State.Our special feature takes you behind the scenes in Victoria, Texas, where we chat with Street Manager Kate Garcia about the town's remarkable transformation. Once merely a pass-through on the way to Corpus Christi, Victoria has reinvented itself as a destination worth exploring. The historic De Leon Plaza now hosts over 800 events annually, including the unique pairing of hot rods and symphony music that kicks off this tour. "Two demographics you would never think would go together go together like peanut butter and jelly," Garcia explains as classic cars and classical music create an unexpectedly perfect harmony.We dive deep into the 2025 Genesis GV80 Coupe, a luxury vehicle that challenges traditional definitions. Despite having four doors, this fastback SUV carries the "coupe" designation, sparking debate among automotive purists. With 375 horsepower from its twin-turbo 3.5-liter engine and a price tag of $87,780, we explore whether this Korean luxury offering can compete with established European rivals like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Porsche.Our "Motor Minute" reveals fascinating statistics about Texas' booming auto restoration industry – 1,207 shops statewide with Houston alone hosting 247 restoration specialists. We discuss how many of these businesses began as passion projects by individual enthusiasts before growing into established operations, reflecting the enduring love affair between Texans and their vehicles.Whether you're a hot rod enthusiast, luxury car shopper, or simply appreciate the coming together of diverse communities through shared passions, this episode captures the spirit of Texas car culture. Join us for this journey through small towns, classic restorations, and modern luxury as we celebrate the machines that move us and the people who love them.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

On today's podcast I chatted with Liam Mullane, the musician turned Mercedes-Benz General Manager. Liam's passion is music, and despite his very best efforts he realised that the life of a musician playing original material was not going to sustain him and he had to choose a different path. With a new focus this talented lead guitarist became a leading salesman, and after 22 years in the motor trade he is now the General Manager of Mercedes-Benz in Cork. He chatted about his career path, the ups and downs, the buzz of being a successful salesman, how to close a sale, the special role of cars in our lives, QTR and why the music never ever stops!

The 2025 Lucid Gravity marks a major step for Lucid Motors as it enters the hotly competitive luxury electric SUV market. With a bold aerodynamic design, three-row practicality, and up to 828 horsepower, the Gravity aims to combine performance and family-friendly utility in a premium package. By doing so, it seeks to upset the luxury SUV applecart as it rockets to the top of the pack. This past week, host Jack Nerad was one of a select few journalists to drive and road test the Gravity for the first time. During his stint behind the wheel, he sampled the Gravity's dynamic split personality. At once, it is a highly competent performance vehicle and a fully utilitarian SUV that can tow, haul and convey seven adults at a rate few are accustomed to. Powered by dual motors producing up to 828 horsepower and 909 lb-ft of torque, the Gravity can accelerate to 60 mph in a claimed 3.4 seconds. Its air suspension, rear-wheel steering, and adjustable ride height make it a surprisingly agile and adaptable vehicle, particularly given its 6,048-pound curb weight, while a Terrain Mode and 6,000-pound towing capacity further expand its versatility. But is it a vehicle you'd want to live with day-to-day, given the elevated level of several of its rivals? Nerad will offer his views. In our other road test, co-host Chris Teague takes one of the nation's most popular plug-in hybrid vehicles through its paces as winter turns to spring in Maine. As unlikely as it might seem, the Jeep Wrangler 4xe is among the best sellers among the much-misunderstood roster of PHEVs. Its credentials are strong, but, again, is it a wise choice given its premium price over other Wranglers? Teague and Nerad will weigh in. When it comes to family vehicles, the Hyundai Palisade has gained a reputation as a thinking person's choice. Now, Hyundai has just introduced the all-new 2026 version, and Nerad went behind the scenes for an exclusive interview with Hyundai Product Planning Manager Melvyn Bautista to take a deep dive into the vehicle. It is both Easter week and New York Auto Show week, so we have a lot of news from each. Easter in Moab, Utah, is one of the biggest off-road gatherings of the year, and Jeep and Ford are there showing off concept vehicles. We have the details. Several new models have been introduced in and around the New York show, and we'll tell you about cool vehicles from Kia, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz and Audi in this episode. Used car buyers might be in for a price shock in the next few weeks, and it has nothing to do with tariffs. We'll tell you more and, of course, we'll have the latest auto tariff news for you too.

Creating Thriving Work Environments Eric and I dove into the essentials of workplace culture, a topic central to our careers. Eric shared his journey from a childhood fascination with business to leading large teams at Enterprise Rent-a-Car. His book on company culture and high performance has become a key resource for his speaking and consulting work. We explored what it takes to create work environments where employees don't just survive—they thrive. It all starts with strong relationships, clear communication, and understanding the diverse needs of a multigenerational workforce. Setting clear expectations is critical, especially in today's workplace, where retention is a growing challenge. When organizations prioritize culture and communication, they see stronger engagement and long-term success. Effective Communication and Planning for Success Our discussion also highlighted the role of communication and strategic planning in driving results. I shared a case from my time at Mercedes-Benz, where we implemented an asset-tracking system to streamline operations. The key takeaway? Getting things right the first time prevents unnecessary work and improves efficiency. Eric echoed this with his experience launching a content initiative for sales, emphasizing the importance of a steady, intentional approach to culture-building. We also tackled a critical hiring insight—focusing on a candidate's match rather than just their fit within an organization. Engaged employees who align with company values will consistently outperform those who check the right boxes. His book profoundly covers these themes, offering practical strategies for building high-performing teams. Hiring for Potential and Career Growth One story that stood out was hiring a receptionist without prior healthcare experience. Over time, she thrived, earned a promotion, and eventually ran a clinic. It reinforced the idea that hiring should be about potential rather than just experience. Eric and I agreed that asking the right questions during hiring is essential in identifying high-potential candidates. Too often, employers focus on filling a position quickly rather than considering a candidate's long-term career trajectory. Investing in people's growth benefits both the individual and the organization. Connecting Beyond the Conversation We wrapped up by discussing ways to keep the conversation going and share the episode when it's live. If you're interested in Eric's work, you can find him on LinkedIn or at ClearPathVentures.com, where he offers speaking and coaching on leadership and company culture. ERIC D. Stone's passion for business led him to an influential twenty-six-year career at the iconic rental car company Enterprise Holdings, where he quickly became one of the most decorated Regional Vice Presidents in the company's history. His ability to connect and motivate employees from all different generations and demographics allowed his teams to sustain top-level results and a culture of pride. Eric attributes much of his success to his ability to create, ignite, and sustain a high-performance culture—one that enabled him to lead his teams through challenges like 9/11, the Great Recession, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Great Resignation—along with an extraordinary ability to adapt to the unexpected and help others do the same. Eric is the author of the award-winning book Jumpstart Your Workplace Culture and an international speaker on leadership, employee engagement, and creating high-performance organizations. He retired from Enterprise in 2018 and founded Clear Path Ventures, which specializes in guiding young professionals and businesses as they navigate their path to success.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. I work a lot with managers and business leaders, where a part of their job is to manage teams of people. This kind of work can be quite different from a self-employed graphic designer, for example, whose main work each day is designing.  There's an interesting interplay going on in a team environment. Managers need information from their people. To get that information, they need to stop their team from doing their work. Then there is the team who need less distraction in order to get their work done to the highest quality and on time.  In my experience, the most productive teams are the ones who have found a happy balance between the manager's need for information and the team's need to work undisturbed.  So, the question is, how do you find that balance and if you are a member of a team with a boss who is interrupting you a little too much how do you retrain your boss?  Two questions from one wonderful listener who has sent in a question. And with that, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Sam. Sam asks, hi Carl, do you have any tips and ideas for managing a team productively (I manage a team of eight) and how to manage a boss who is disorganised and never remembers what she's asked us to do. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Hi Sam, thank you for your question. It sounds like you're caught in the middle of a productivity nightmare. A boss who has no idea how to get the most out of their team and as a consequence you are unable to help your team work productively. Let's start with the easier of the two. Managing a team.  To help you get to the right place, we need to step back a little. A manager's role is to support their team. To provide them with clear instructions and the right tools, and then to keep out of the way and let them get on and do what they were employed to do.  At a strategic level that means clear communication—what do you want, how do you want it and when do you want it delivered?  And then to step back and let them get on and do it.  Let me give you an example of this in play.  I record my YouTube videos on a Wednesday. I then create the timeline of the video in Adobe Premiere Pro and send everything to my video editor to do the animations, clean things up and get it ready for publication.  In a Google Doc, I write out what I want—where I want split screen effects and other animations. I also add the date I need the finished video for.  That's communication part.  I then step back and let my video editor get on and do her thing. I don't care how she does the animations or what tools she uses—she likes to use something called CapCut, for example. Once I hand it over to my video editor, the task is in her hands and as long as she gets the edited video back to me by the deadline. I'm happy.  If she has any questions, we use a messaging service called Twist—similar to Microsoft Teams and Slack but a lot less distracting—she will message me.  And that's the support part.  It's simple, effective and allows my video editor the time and space to get on and do the work without me constantly chasing her.  Now there is another element going on here. I trust my video editor. She's never let me down and on those rare occasions when she thinks she will be late, she will message me immediately and inform me.  If you don't trust your team, who's at fault?  If you want to build a productive team, you must trust your team. It's that trust that enables you to leave your team alone to get on and do the work you employ them to do. Constantly interrupting them for updates destroys their productivity.  It's the same if you ask them to fill out activity reports and update statuses on complex software systems.  I've worked with companies that required their sales teams to maintain a Salesforce CRM system. This meant many of them stop selling on Friday afternoons to update these complex systems which often took them two or three hours.  When I was in sales, I found the best time to sell was Friday afternoons. People are more willing to close out a sale before the end of the week. Yet, in that company, they were missing out on so much business because management wanted their sales teams to update overly complex information management systems.  Every person you work with is a different person. Trying to shoehorn people into your system can be counterproductive to the overall productivity of the team.  As a manager, it's your responsibility to find out the best way to support you team members so they can work in the most effective and efficient way. That way you avoid stress building up in the team which will undermine any efforts to improve the team's productivity.  I recently heard Toto Wolf—the CEO and Team Principal of Mercedes Benz's Formula 1 team talking about how he manages his team. He implemented a policy of no meetings before 10:00 am.  What this does is allows all people to have at least an hour of undisturbed quiet time each day for doing important work.  Now, he's the leader—the CEO—yet he understands that the managers reporting to him still need time to do their work before spending most of their days in meetings.  I like another leader from the Formula 1's world, Red Bull's Christian Horner's approach. He doesn't have an engineering degree or understand the complexities of aerodynamics. He has a team of people who are brilliant at that stuff.  He sees his roll as the barrier remover. While he's the boss, and needs to know what's going on, he knows he must protect his team from the board of directors' demands and if any department requires something, it's his job to find a way to provide it for them.  Productive teams are built from the top. That means the manager must communicate clearly what they want, how they want it and by when. Then step back and let the team get on and do the work.  I remember another company I once worked for. The director was a highly intelligent person in her field. Yet, she had somehow developed a managerial arrogance where she believed she did not need to learn how to use the company's database because her project managers could tell her what she needed to know when she needed to know something.  This led to her project managers dropping everything to find the information she wanted whenever she asked for it. It created a horrible atmosphere in the company and the team was very unproductive.  She would hold five hour team meetings every Friday, where everyone was expected to attend. This further undermined the teams productivity and they were often late in completing projects which meant project managers had to work late and into the weekend to catch up.  This director's staff turnover rate was the highest in the company, worldwide, and it was all created by this one individual who did nothing to support her team.  The solution was to go back to the basics. Communicate what you want, clearly and concisely—you don't need weekly five hour meetings to do that—and then to step back and let your team get on and do their work. The work they were employed to do.  Never, as a manager, believe that your team is there to support you. It's not. You are there to support them.  Now, if you are not the manager but have a manager who is destroying your productivity what can you do?  This goes to managing expectations.  It's very easy to fall into line and say yes to your boss whenever they ask you to do something. Yet, doing so is distorting expectations. Saying “yes I will get this task done today as you ask, boss,” will do nothing for your productivity if on the same day you have six hours of meetings and a proposal to get out before 4:30 pm.  You have to stand your ground and inform your boss of your schedule for the day and explain that you will not be able to do it today.  I understand, if you have always said yes to your boss, doing this will be difficult at first, but how will you change anything if you do not challenge your boss's instructions when you already know what they are asking you to do will be practically impossible?  In effect you need to retrain your boss and set more realistic expectations.  One tip I often share is to challenge deadlines. If your boss asks you to send them something, reply and tell them you will get it to them by the end of the week (or early next week).  The worst thing that will happen is your boss will push back and tell you they need it right now. That's great because they've saved you a decision. You need to do it right now. So do it.  However, in the majority of cases, your boss will accept your timeline. They're busy too, after all.  However, the critical part of this is you follow through and deliver what they asked for when you said you will do it. If you don't, you lose trust. You want your boss to trust you. And if, for whatever reason, you find you cannot do what you said you would do, when you said you would do it, you must inform them as soon as you know—something my video editor will do.  And incidentally, you should be doing this with your customers and clients too. This can be another area where some preconceived ideas about customers and clients can lead to productivity issues.  Be clear when you are communicating with your customers and clients. Set realistic expectations—and telling them that you will always be available if they ever need you is not a realistic expectation. What happens if you're giving birth when they call (as happened to one of my clients), or you're in a meeting with another client?  Tell your customers how best to get in touch with you and that if you cannot respond immediately you will get back to them as soon as you can.  I hope that has helped, Sam. Thank you for your question and thank you for listening.  It just remains for me now to wish you all a very very productive week.

The tariffs are being used to destroy the [CB], time to end the endless. The [DS] narrative is continually falling short, each time they speak they are destroying themselves. Why interfere with an enemy while they are in the process of destroying themselves. The largest pedo platform has now been shutdown.

These firms have been key drivers of market performance in recent years due to their size, influence, and heavy weighting in indices like the Nasdaq. Bessent suggests that the selloff is primarily driven by issues specific to these tech giants, such as overvaluation, slowing earnings growth, or sector-specific pressures (e.g., competition in AI or shifts in investor sentiment), rather than broader economic or political factors. "Not a MAGA problem": "MAGA" stands for "Make America Great Again," a slogan associated with President Donald Trump and his policy agenda, particularly following his re-election in November 2024. Policies tied to MAGA, like steep tariffs or deregulation, have been speculated to impact markets. Bessent, as Treasury Secretary in Trump's administration, is arguing that the selloff isn't a result of these Trump-related policies but rather stems from the dynamics affecting the Mag7 stocks.

Volkswagen will add import fees to vehicle prices, while Volvo and Mercedes-Benz are considering expanding U.S. manufacturing to avoid the 25% duties, according to Bloomberg. Mercedes may move production of a model to Alabama to offset tariffs and is weighing pulling its cheaper cars from the U.S. after a 58% sales jump in its top-selling import, the GLC SUV. Germany's economy minister backed EU talks with the U.S. but warned of a “clear and decisive response” if no deal is reached, calling the tariffs a risk to global stability. Volkswagen, which builds cars in Tennessee, still imports key models from Europe and Mexico. The U.S. now makes up 20% of its revenue, helped by a 7% sales boost in 2024. BMW imports 60% of its U.S. sales and depends on European parts for its South Carolina plant. Mercedes' Alabama factory faces similar supply chain exposure. Volvo plans to expand U.S. production,
