Podcasts about Nespresso

On Suite Talk, Lynlee Foo speaks with Mike Hecker, founder and CEO of BE WTR, a Swiss company that recently accelerated its Southeast Asia expansion and is challenging the long-held belief that premium water has to be imported. From helping build Nespresso in its early days to launching businesses that rethink everyday products, Mike reflects on entrepreneurship, conviction, innovation and the value of questioning assumptions. He shares the philosophy that guides his decisions, why being told something can't work motivates him, and the advice he now gives his sons about taking risks and building something meaningful. Suite Talk explores how leaders think, decide and operate — the person behind the role, not just the title.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In dieser Episode geht es um die traurige Nachricht von der Insolvenz von Pragma Industries, einem französischen Unternehmen und Hersteller von innovativen Wasserstoff-E-Bikes. Wir sprechen über die Herausforderungen, denen das Unternehmen während seiner fast zehnjährigen Reise gegenüberstand und bedauern, dass das spannende "Teebeutel-Verfahren" zur H2-Erzeugung direkt im Fahrrad nun wohl vorerst keine weitere Verbreitung finden wird.

Recorded at Saigon Podcast Studio, this OverSeasoned Podcast episode starts in Los Angeles and ends somewhere between jet lag, Vietnamese coffee, and figuring out how many bowls of pho is too many.It kicks off with a $500 dinner at Capo in Santa Monica (think: porterhouse, grilled calamari, Burgundy by the glass) and turns into a bigger conversation about what actually makes a restaurant worth it. Not just price, but vibe, service, ingredients, and whether a place makes you feel like you belong or just ran your card.There's also a detour into Carbone, the rise of the $30 Caesar salad, and why sometimes you'd rather spend more once than eat mediocre five times.Then... first impressions of Saigon, coffee culture (Nespresso debates included), what to eat, what to order, and how deep to go on pho without burning out on day two.This one's part restaurant philosophy, part travel log, part two guys trying to stay coherent on no sleep.Welcome to OverSeasoned, on the road.

Ce que vivent les candidat·es doit être exactement ce qu'on leur a promis. Sinon… autant ne rien dire. DRH France de Nespresso, Hélène Gemahling y tient particulièrement.Alors dans ce nouvel épisode, elle t'explique comment attirer, engager et ne surtout pas décevoir, dans un marché où les candidat·es sont devenus (très) exigeant·es.Au programme :

"The amount of time you need to spend listening in Japan is very high." "You have to turn up your EQ sensitivity or your EQ radar very, very high." "No matter what, love it." "Feedback should be ninety percent positive." "Leadership is achieving the organisation's goal by maximising the potential of your team." Paul Kraft is the Country Manager for Haribo in Japan and a seasoned food and beverage executive whose career has crossed global brands, entrepreneurial ventures, and distributor-led market development. His relationship with Japan began when he first visited in 1991 on a school trip after studying finance and economics, and he later returned to Osaka to teach English before building his early career in the United States as a product and brand manager in the frozen food sector. Starbucks then recruited him to establish its consumer packaged goods office in Tokyo, where his team expanded the brand beyond coffee shops into convenience store cup coffee, canned coffee, and dry coffee formats. He later launched Honey Baked Ham in Japan through an omnichannel strategy covering food service, retail, and online sales, before joining Nespresso to lead the business-to-business group serving hotels, restaurants, and off-premise clients. At Haribo, Kraft became the company's first person on the ground in Japan, guiding the distributor, shaping strategy, and acting as the bridge between the Japanese market and the global organisation. His career arc reflects adaptability in Japan: learning when to push, when to listen, when to use nemawashi, how to reduce uncertainty, and how to lead through consensus, precedent, relationship depth, and trust. Paul Kraft's leadership journey in Japan is a practical study in how global executives must adapt ambition, speed, and commercial logic to a business culture that places deep value on patience, consensus, trust, and emotional intelligence. His connection with Japan began in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when Japanese business influence was highly visible internationally. Toyota, Japanese management methods, and major Japanese investments overseas created a sense that understanding Japan was essential for future business leaders. Kraft studied finance and economics, visited Japan for the first time in 1991, and fell in love with the country. After graduating, he returned to Osaka to teach English before moving back to the United States and entering the food business. His early food career gave him broad commercial exposure. He worked as a product and brand manager for a privately held frozen food company, handling brands across categories such as ice cream, pizza, and frozen egg rolls. He also gained experience in research, brand management, and mergers and acquisitions. The turning point came when Starbucks recruited him to return to Japan and set up a consumer packaged goods office in Tokyo. Within three months, he sold his cars, sold his house, gave away his tools, and moved to Japan. It was a decisive commitment to the market. At Starbucks, Kraft's team was responsible for everything outside the coffee shops, including convenience store cup coffee, canned coffee, different drinks, and packaged coffee products. Japan's vast convenience store network meant the business could scale dramatically. At one point, he believed Starbucks may have been selling more cups of coffee outside the stores than inside them. Yet the opportunity came with culture shock. Kraft encountered long, meandering meetings with Japanese partners where the purpose was not necessarily to decide, but to discuss. Coming from a Western business environment that valued agendas, pre-reads, data, speed, and explicit outcomes, he found this difficult. Partners might resist data, avoid firm conclusions, or reject new ideas because they had no precedent. This introduced one of Kraft's central leadership lessons: frustration management is a business skill in Japan. He admits that in his early years he sometimes relied too much on visible frustration or forceful leadership. He learned that anger in Japan is not usually interpreted as strength. It is often seen as weak self-control, poor maturity, low self-awareness, and a failure to read the group. In a culture shaped by uncertainty avoidance and consensus, the leader who becomes known as a hothead loses influence. Kraft's next major chapter, Honey Baked Ham, tested his entrepreneurial instincts. He cold-called the CEO of the American family-owned chain and convinced the company to support a Japan launch. The concept was unfamiliar in a market where honey-baked ham did not have obvious precedent. Kraft built an omnichannel model covering food service, a physical store, and online sales. He worked with local financial backers, freelancers, part-time staff, and a very lean team. The leadership challenge was not just selling a product, but selling belief. To attract employees and customers, he had to tell the story of the brand, offer the product directly, and reduce the perceived risk of joining or buying into something new. In Japan, he found that new ideas often need a "Japanese stamp of approval". For Honey Baked Ham, that stamp came from the New Otani Hotel. Once the product was accepted by a respected, traditional, luxury Japanese hotel, the market could interpret it differently. It was no longer merely a foreign idea. It had local legitimacy. This is decision intelligence in a Japanese setting: understanding that data alone is not enough if social proof, trust signals, respected reference points, and emotional confidence are missing. At Nespresso, Kraft moved from entrepreneurial uncertainty into a highly structured global organisation. Nespresso, as part of Nestlé, had strong processes, operational discipline, monthly reviews, and clear accountability systems. Kraft led the business-to-business group, serving hotels, restaurants, and off-premise clients. There, he focused on weekly one-on-ones, feedback, and structure. He maintained regular conversations with direct reports, taking notes, sharing updates, listening to their updates, and discussing future deliverables. He also saw the value of monthly operational reviews where commitments were visible and specific: who would do what by when. Red, yellow, and green status tracking created accountability, but it also required leaders to prevent people from setting themselves up to fail. At Haribo, Kraft now leads largely through influence. Haribo had existed in Japan for decades through distributors, but Kraft became the first person representing the company directly on the ground. His role is to guide the distributor, shape strategy, interpret the Japanese market for the global organisation, and influence outcomes without necessarily controlling every lever. This is leadership through relationship rather than hierarchy. For Kraft, the answer lies in patience, small-group influence, and nemawashi. Large meetings with many distributor representatives are rarely where minds are changed. The real work happens in smaller conversations, offline follow-ups, and repeated explanations of why something matters. Across the interview, Kraft's leadership philosophy is consistent. He advocates weekly one-on-ones, positive feedback, careful listening, written notes, high EQ, and learning Japanese. He believes leaders should look for people doing things right and tell them specifically. He also believes leaders should encourage initiative, especially in Japan, where proposing an idea can itself be a courageous act. Ultimately, Kraft defines leadership as achieving the organisation's goal by maximising the potential of the team. In Japan, that means leading with EQ rather than ego, using structure without crushing people, building consensus without losing accountability, and understanding that influence is earned through patience, presence, and trust. Q&A Summary What makes leadership in Japan unique? Leadership in Japan is unique because authority alone is rarely enough to move people, partners, or organisations. Kraft's experience shows that Japan places heavy emphasis on consensus, precedent, trust, and the emotional readiness of the group. A meeting may not be designed to make a decision in the Western sense. It may be designed to exchange views, test reactions, identify resistance, and prepare the ground for a later decision. This can frustrate executives who arrive expecting agendas, data, pre-reads, and immediate outcomes. However, in Japan, the visible meeting is often only one part of the decision-making process. The real work may occur before and after the formal meeting. This is where nemawashi becomes essential. Rather than forcing a decision in front of a large group, effective leaders work privately with stakeholders, listen to their concerns, explain the reason behind the proposal, and create alignment before asking for visible agreement. In some organisations, this may connect to formal mechanisms such as ringi-sho, where written proposals circulate for approval. Even when ringi-sho is not used formally, the underlying cultural logic remains: people want to avoid surprises, protect relationships, and reduce uncertainty before committing. Why do global executives struggle? Global executives struggle in Japan when they assume that leadership methods which worked elsewhere will automatically work here. Kraft describes coming from a Western environment where meetings were purposeful, decisions were expected, and data played a central role. In Japan, he encountered long discussions without agendas, partners who were not prepared to discuss data, and resistance to ideas because they had never been done before. For a Western leader, this can look inefficient or evasive. For Japanese counterparts, it may reflect caution, uncertainty avoidance, and the desire to avoid exposing the group to visible failure. Another reason global executives struggle is emotional pacing. Kraft admits that his own frustration management was a multi-year learning process. Early in his Japan career, he sometimes believed that a leader had to pound the table, push harder, or force things to happen. Over time, he realised that visible anger usually weakens credibility in Japan. It may be interpreted as poor self-control, low maturity, insufficient self-awareness, or an inability to operate inside the group. Leaders who become known as hotheads lose influence. Is Japan truly risk-averse? Kraft's experience suggests that Japan is not simply risk-averse; it is highly sensitive to uncertainty, precedent, and failure visibility. People may resist new ideas not because they dislike innovation, but because they cannot forecast the outcome, cannot point to a precedent, or cannot see how failure will be managed. His Starbucks orange mocha example illustrates this clearly. Even with data and enthusiasm, Japanese counterparts resisted because they could not forecast something that had never been done before. The absence of precedent made the idea difficult to accept. At Honey Baked Ham, Kraft had to reduce uncertainty on multiple fronts. He needed employees to believe in a small start-up-like venture, customers to accept an unfamiliar product, and business partners to see legitimacy in the concept. He did this through storytelling, product sampling, financial backing, and visible local validation. The New Otani Hotel became a crucial Japanese stamp of approval. Once a respected Japanese institution accepted the product, the perceived risk fell. This is a useful lesson for leaders: in Japan, risk is often managed through social proof, credibility markers, and trusted reference points. Decision intelligence in Japan requires more than analysis. It requires understanding how people feel safe enough to act. What leadership style actually works? The leadership style that works in Japan is patient, structured, emotionally intelligent, and specific. Kraft repeatedly returns to the importance of weekly one-on-ones. He used them not as casual check-ins, but as disciplined leadership routines. He wrote down the person's name, the date, his update, their update, the future focus, and the deliverables. Over time, this built trust and created a rhythm of communication. In Japan, where employees may hesitate to speak up in larger forums, one-on-ones provide a safer space for concerns, ideas, and coaching. Kraft also emphasises feedback, especially positive feedback. He argues that feedback should be ninety percent positive. This does not mean avoiding problems. It means noticing specific behaviours that should continue and reinforcing them. At Nespresso, Kraft also saw the value of structured accountability. Monthly operational reviews asked who would do what by when, using red-yellow-green status tracking. This helped cut through ambiguity and group responsibility. The most effective style is not soft consensus or hard command. It is a combination of empathy, structure, clarity, and support. How can technology help? Technology can help leadership in Japan when it reduces uncertainty, improves shared understanding, and supports better decision-making. Kraft's career points repeatedly to the importance of data, forecasting, operational reviews, and structured follow-up. At Starbucks, he wanted data-driven conversations with partners. At Nespresso, process and dashboards made accountability visible. At Haribo, he works in a market where convenience stores are highly sophisticated and retail execution depends on understanding channels, forecasts, and consumer behaviour. Modern tools such as retail analytics, AI-supported forecasting, digital twins, scenario planning dashboards, and decision intelligence platforms can be powerful in Japan because they allow teams to test ideas before committing. In a high-consensus culture, technology can create a shared factual base. It can help people compare options, visualise consequences, and reduce the fear of the unknown. Digital twins, for example, can allow leaders to model supply chain, distribution, retail placement, or product launch scenarios without requiring immediate real-world commitment. This can lower emotional resistance and make decisions feel safer. However, technology cannot replace trust. In Japan, data may be necessary, but it is rarely sufficient. Leaders must still explain the why, conduct nemawashi, listen to objections, and create confidence among stakeholders. Does language proficiency matter? Language proficiency matters in Japan because it signals respect, commitment, and seriousness. Kraft says leaders should try to learn Japanese, even if they do not become fluent. Fluency helps a leader catch nuance, understand emotional tone, and communicate directly with employees, partners, and distributors. It also helps reduce the distance that can exist between a foreign executive and a Japanese team. In a market where trust is built slowly, the effort to learn the language can itself become a stamp of approval. That said, Kraft does not suggest that language ability alone makes someone an effective leader. A fluent but impatient leader can still fail. A non-fluent but humble, consistent, and respectful leader can still build trust. The key is effort. Trying to learn Japanese shows that the executive is not merely passing through. It shows they are willing to adapt to the local context, not simply demand that the local context adapt to them. What's the ultimate leadership lesson? The ultimate leadership lesson from Kraft's experience is that leaders in Japan must maximise people's potential by building trust, reducing uncertainty, and communicating with discipline. His definition is clear: leadership is achieving the organisation's goal by maximising the potential of the team. That requires more than setting targets. It requires creating the conditions in which people can contribute, speak up, try ideas, receive feedback, and accept accountability without fear of humiliation. Kraft's career shows that Japan rewards leaders who can operate as bridges. At Starbucks, he bridged global brand ambition and Japanese retail realities. At Honey Baked Ham, he bridged an unfamiliar American food concept and Japanese legitimacy signals. At Nespresso, he bridged global process discipline and local team development. At Haribo, he bridges headquarters, distributor partners, retailers, and the Japanese market. The best leaders in Japan do not abandon ambition. They adapt how ambition is communicated and implemented. They listen longer, give more positive feedback, use smaller meetings, manage their frustration, explain the why, and build consensus before demanding action.

In this episode of On The Way, Laure Babin, founder of the Zèta brand, looks back on her career and shares her vision of more responsible fashion. The fashion industry is the second most polluting industry in the world, right behind oil. Yet every year, millions of pairs of shoes are manufactured from petroleum-derived synthetics, plastics, and animal leather. What if the answer was already hiding in our waste? That's the bet Laure Babin chose to take in 2020 when she launched Zèta, a sneaker brand made entirely from recycled materials: grape marc sourced from Italian wineries, corn, coffee grounds developed in partnership with Nespresso, and olive waste transformed in Turkey. Each material more innovative than the last for a carbon footprint two and a half times lower than a traditional sneaker. In this episode, Laure shares how a gradual awakening, shaped by internships in Cambodia, the Netherlands, and Peru, convinced her it was possible to build a fashion brand that is both desirable AND responsible. She also tells us how, with zero marketing budget, a crowdfunding campaign launched in the middle of COVID turned into a phenomenon 2,700 pre-orders in three weeks and why style must always come before the “eco-friendly” label. An inspiring conversation about material innovation, Portuguese craftsmanship, and conscious consumption without the guilt.

Find out more at https://leader.blainebartlett.com/power-of-you Summary In this conversation, Blaine and James McPartland explore the themes of personal growth, leadership, and the importance of understanding one's own gifts. They discuss the concept of 'unopened gifts'—the potential within individuals that often goes untapped due to fear and societal expectations. McPartland shares his journey of self-discovery and the realization that true leadership involves connecting with others on a personal level. The discussion emphasizes the need for courage in leadership and the significance of fostering an environment where employees feel valued and understood. Takeaways The soul of business is the only true differentiator. Understanding what matters to employees is crucial for engagement. Courage in leadership often feels uncomfortable. People hear what they see; actions speak louder than words. Unopened gifts represent untapped potential within individuals. Leadership is about influencing others to co-create a worthy ideal. Personal growth often involves facing uncomfortable truths. The hardest relationship to navigate is often with oneself. True leadership requires vulnerability and humility. Creating a culture of openness can lead to greater organizational success. #business #leadershipdevelopment #personalgrowth #unopenedgifts #courage #organizationalculture #coaching #self-awareness #transformation #employeeengagement Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of "Just Another TRUCKING Podcast," hosts Tom and David dive deep into the greasy reality of the trucking world. It's a bit of a smaller crew today as Jammer is currently in the doghouse with the "Mrs." and Chloe is MIA.Tom kicks things off by sharing his wild week working as a groundsman for a major company (rhymes with "Nespresso"). After months of sitting in a van watching TikToks , he finally got back behind the wheel of a 32-tonne DAF dump truck. From stalling on 20% gradients to nearly blowing out his knee on a stiff manual clutch , Tom breaks down why the era of manual transmissions might finally be over.Inside This Episode:The Art of "Floating" Gears: David explains the mechanics of shifting without a clutch and the secret "clutch brake" most drivers don't even know exists.Trucking Tech: We talk about Volvo's i-Shift, paddle shifting for semis , and why adaptive cruise control is actually terrifying when it starts coasting in neutral.The 24-Hour Asteroid Scenario: A lighthearted debate turns dark as the guys discuss what they'd do with only 24 hours left to live (featuring some very questionable "bucket list" items).Life, Longevity, and Legos: David reveals he is essentially the dad from The Lego Movie (yes, he glues them) , while Tom battles the realization that turning 40 means everything starts clicking.AI vs. Big Energy: How Tom used AI to take on British Gas in a legal dispute over triple-billing.Whether you're a gearhead who loves a non-synchronized 18-speed or just here for the banter about "Black Tar Heroin" jokes (don't do drugs, kids!), this episode has it all.Follow us for more trucking stories and tech talk!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Dans ce nouvel épisode du podcast On The Way, Laure Babin, fondatrice de la marque Zèta, revient sur son parcours et partage sa vision d'une mode plus responsable.L'industrie de la mode est la deuxième industrie la plus polluante au monde, juste après celle du pétrole. Pourtant, chaque année, des millions de paires de chaussures sont fabriquées à partir de matières synthétiques dérivées du pétrole, de plastiques et de cuir animal.Et si la solution se trouvait dans nos déchets ? C'est le pari que Laure Babin a choisi de relever en 2020 en lançant Zèta, une marque de baskets fabriquées intégralement à partir de matières recyclées : marc de raisin issu de la production viticole italienne, maïs, café développé en collaboration avec Nespresso, ou encore résidus d'olive transformés en Turquie. Autant de matières innovantes pour une empreinte carbone deux fois et demie inférieure à celle d'une basket traditionnelle.Dans cet épisode, Laure nous raconte comment une prise de conscience progressive, nourrie de stages au Cambodge, aux Pays-Bas et au Pérou, l'a convaincue qu'il était possible de créer une marque de mode désirable et responsable.Elle nous explique aussi comment, sans aucun budget marketing, une campagne de crowdfunding lancée en plein COVID s'est transformée en phénomène avec 2 700 précommandes en trois semaines et pourquoi le style doit toujours passer avant l'étiquette “écolo”.Une conversation inspirante sur l'innovation matière, l'artisanat et la consommation consciente, sans culpabilité.

In Part 2 of this conversation, Matthew Brown — Retail Trend Futurist & Keynote Speaker — joins Alex to break down some of the most innovative retail concepts in the world right now.From Pop Mart in Bangkok and Nespresso's Flatiron flagship to Restoration Hardware, Gentle Monster, and Louis Vuitton's immersive Shanghai concept, this episode explores how leading brands are transforming physical retail into something far bigger than a store.Topics covered in this episode include:experiential retailflagship store innovationhospitality in retailsocial-first store designstorytelling through physical spaceretail trends shaping Gen Z and Gen Alphathe future of luxury and lifestyle retailMatthew explains why the most successful stores today are built around immersion, surprise, local relevance, and shareability — and why Asia continues to set the pace for retail innovation globally.Brands and concepts discussed include Pop Mart, Nespresso, Restoration Hardware, Gentle Monster, Louis Vuitton, Zara, and Lefties.If you work in retail, brand, customer experience, design, innovation, or commercial strategy, this episode is packed with practical insight and standout examples.#RetailInnovation #MatthewBrown #FutureOfRetail #StoreDesign #ExperientialRetail #LuxuryRetail #CustomerExperienceChapter Timestamps00:00 Pop Mart and Asia's social-first retail model00:47 Why the Pop Mart Bangkok flagship stands out01:35 Local design, hospitality, and retail theatre02:22 Nespresso's Flatiron flagship in New York03:10 The basement lounge, vinyl, and hidden speakeasy03:46 Bringing coffee to life through scent and storytelling04:26 Restoration Hardware and aspirational lifestyle retail06:01 How Gentle Monster inspired a new flagship vision07:06 Inside House Nowhere and immersive concept retail08:41 Why Gentle Monster was ranked number two09:07 Louis Vuitton's standout retail spectacle in Shanghai10:46 Can retail keep getting more innovative?11:06 One store that just missed the top ten11:33 Closing thoughts

Step into Episode 205 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Mat Snapp and Cortnie of Barter & Shake, the team behind some of Arizona's most immersive cocktail concepts, to unpack what it really takes to build hospitality spaces people want to come back to. From Mat's years helping open dozens of restaurants with Sam Fox concepts to Cortnie's path through Starbucks, Nespresso, San Francisco bar leadership, and eventually Phoenix, this conversation dives into the operator mindset behind culture, guest experience, and long-term team retention. The episode explores how Barter & Shake grew from one building with three concepts to multiple locations and brands, why they lead with people-first operations, and how they think about guest immersion as a form of escape in an always-on world. Mat and Cortnie also break down the real art of bartending beyond drink-making, including safe service, internal communication, non-alcoholic hospitality, and why making every guest feel included matters just as much as what goes in the glass.​You'll also hear the story behind spaces like Sunny's Lounge and Undertow, what makes their concepts different in a changing market, the importance of giving people a place to unplug, and what's next for the group as Undertow celebrates 10 years and new projects take shape in downtown Phoenix. If you care about hospitality, leadership, culture, cocktails, or creating memorable guest experiences, this episode is packed with insight you can actually use.​Chapter Guide (Timestamps):​(0:00 - 2:43) Intro, Name Stories, and Welcoming Mat and Cortnie​(2:44 - 5:58) Origin Stories: Sam Fox, Starbucks, Nespresso, San Francisco, and Phoenix​(5:59 - 8:08) Leadership Chemistry, Partnership, and Building Alignment at Barter & Shake​(8:09 - 11:48) Growth Since 2021, Post-COVID Shifts, and Why Low Attrition Matters​(11:49 - 16:02) Guest Experience, Immersion, and the “Magic Trick” Behind Their Concepts​(16:03 - 19:40) Non-Alcoholic Cocktails as an Act of Hospitality​(19:41 - 23:52) Lessons from Restaurant Growth, Accessibility, and Why Sunny's Hits Right Now​(23:53 - 28:34) The Art of Bartending, Safe Service, and Training Teams to Read the Room​(28:35 - 31:48) Concept Breakdowns: Sunny's, Undertow, Platform 18, and Grey Hen​(31:49 - 35:40) Daily Non-Negotiables, Balance, and How They Reset as Leaders​(35:41 - 38:43) What's Next: Undertow's 10-Year Celebration and Pablo's in Downtown Phoenix​(38:44 - 43:40) Rapid Fire, Leadership Philosophy, and Episode Close​

Gareth and Gary are back and excited to kick off Season 6 of Dishing It Out with a seriously special guest, newly crowned Michelin star chef Angelo Vagiotis of The Pullman at Glenlo Abbey.Angelo shares the remarkable journey from the ultra-lux world of fine dining at Terre in Castlemartyr, to transforming a 1920s Orient Express carriage into Galway's latest Michelin-starred destination. He opens up about the pressure and sacrifice behind chasing stars, building a new team, culture and relationship with long-time Pullman regulars, and why Ireland now feels like home. You'll also hear about his time with Clare Smyth at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, opening a tiny Paris kitchen that became France's Restaurant of the Year, and his very globe-trotting “last meal on earth”.IWe team up with Nespresso for our Dish of the Week, where Gareth serves up a no-fuss tiramisu featuring Nespresso espresso and a twist.

Peut-on être DRH d'une marque iconique… sans perdre le sens de l'humain ?Dans cet épisode de Le Happy Work selon…, j'ai le plaisir d'échanger avec Hélène Gemähling, DRH de Nespresso France.Comment fait-on des ressources humaines dans une entreprise dont la marque est connue dans le monde entier ?

Nvidia heeft vorig kwartaal weer alle verwachtingen overtroffen. Op een omzet van 68 miljard een winst van 43 miljard dollar. Dat is al ongekend, helemaal dat het bedrijf met gigantische cijfers blijft groeien. Een omzetstijging van tientallen procenten. Het is alweer de 14e keer dat het bedrijf analisten aftroeft.En dan komt Nvidia óók nog eens met goed nieuws over de komende maanden. Ook dat ziet er super uit. Al nemen aandeelhouders dat niet helemaal van Nvidia aan: het aandeel gaat fors onderuit. Is die reactie terecht of stellen beleggers zich aan? Deze aflevering nemen we ruim de tijd voor alle vragen die er over Nvidia (en de kwartaalcijfers) zijn.Hebben we het ook over de topman van Ahold Delhaize, Frans Muller. Die kan een hele lekker bonus tegemoet zien. Als het plan van de raad van commissarissen wordt goedgekeurd. Ze willen namelijk dat Muller beter beloond wordt. Als dat plan er doorheen komt, dan kan hij zo'n 10 miljoen bonus krijgen. Per jaar! Verder hebben we het over de cijfers van Paramount én het bezoekje dat de baas van Netflix aan het Witte Huis moet brengen. Allemaal vanwege de overname van Warner Bros, waar beide bedrijven achteraan zitten.Schakelen we ook de hulp in van Noud Broekhof. De man achter de Nationale Autoshow vertelt alles over het historische verlies van autobouwer Stellantis en een lichtpuntje. Of is dat lichtpuntje er toch niet? Te gast: Marc Langeveld van Antaurus BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo. Over de makers: Jelle Maasbach is presentator van BNR Beurs en freelance financieel journalist. Zijn favoriete aandeel om over te praten is Disney, maar daar lijkt hij de enige in te zijn. Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij. Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld. Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad. Jochem Visser is presentator van BNR Beurs, maakt Beursnerd XL en de podcast Onder Curatoren. Vraag hem naar obscure zaken op financiële markten en hij vertelt je waarom het eigenlijk nóg leuker is dan je al dacht. Over de podcast: Met BNR Beurs ga je altijd voorbereid de nieuwe beursdag in. We praten je in een kleine 25 minuten bij over alle laatste ontwikkelingen op de handelsvloer. We blijven niet alleen bij de AEX of Wall Street, maar vertellen je ook waar nog meer kansen liggen. En we houden het niet bij de cijfers, maar zoeken ook iedere dag voor je naar duiding van scherpe gasten en experts. Of je nu een ervaren belegger bent of net begint met je eerste stappen op de beurs, de podcast biedt waardevolle inzichten voor je beleggingsstrategie. Door de focus op zowel de korte termijn als de lange termijn, helpt BNR Beurs luisteraars om de ruis van de markt te scheiden van de essentie. Van Musk tot Microsoft en van Ahold tot ASML. Wij vertellen je wat beleggers bezighoudt, wie de markten in beweging zet en wat dat betekent voor jouw beleggingsportefeuille.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you've ever heard me talk about Superconsumers, SuperGeos, or why you should Name, Frame, and Claim your new category - all of that thinking comes from today's guest, one of my heroes: Eddie Yoon.Eddie is one of the world's leading thinkers on category design. He's a longtime Harvard Business Review contributor, co-founder of Category Pirates (a top Substack you must subscribe to), and has spent decades advising Fortune 100 companies on how to create new categories instead of just fighting for scraps of market share.I've studied Eddie's work obsessively for years because he doesn't just teach marketing - he teaches thinking.

Recapping The Dead Files “Am I Crazy?” (Season 1 Episode 6) which aired 2011. This week, we kick off Season 7 by revisiting “Am I Crazy?”, a case that asks a familiar question with an uncomfortable twist: is the homeowner losing her grip on reality, or uncovering a long-buried truth no one wanted exposed?In Great Falls, Montana, Kelly believes she's being contacted by the spirit of Valeria Gibson, a woman erased from the historical record and dismissed in death as “hysterical.”Through dreams, intuition, and a growing pile of unsettling clues, Kelly uncovers a story that doesn't match the official version, and medium Amy Allan corroborates that story.As Steve Dischiavi digs for missing blueprints, vanished records, and suspicious inconsistencies, a pattern emerges: when women tell the truth, history has a habit of calling them unstable. But three women—Valeria, Kelly, and Amy—tell the same story across time.She's not crazy. She's just not being believed.So… is this a haunting? A cover-up? Or both?So, grab your Nespresso, and join us where… The Activity Continues. Content Warning:We didn't find anything we thought deserved a content warning, but we will use colorful language.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/Fq8DmRShojk  Day 6 of the Brian Walshe Trial happened on December 8, 2025. It brought forward crucial scientific and circumstantial evidence. In this Case Brief, we break down the shocking testimony that covered the Medical Examiner's testimony on preserved evidence—including blood-soaked hair, tissue, and carpet pieces—despite Ana Walshe's body never being recovered. Plus, the debate over a recovered Gucci necklace toggle. Witness testimony from Ana Walshe's HR Director details her call with a "polite and calm" Brian Walshe after Ana was reported missing, and the crucial clue found outside her DC residence: a wet Nespresso delivery box. We break down the timeline of Brian Walshe's frantic purchases at Lowe's, including the hacksaw, buckets, and cleaning supplies, and his attempts to evade surveillance cameras. The defense focuses on the lack of blood evidence found in the master bedroom subfloor and the "natural causes" argument, while the prosecution highlights Brian Walshe's Google searches on cleaning blood from a knife and the timing of his Band-Aid purchase. Was it a sudden death followed by a panic, or a premeditated murder? We discuss the jury's key task: deciding on the First-Degree Murder charge.

Sitne psihološke nijanse donose profit - Shotton otkriva koje pravilo gradi, a koje ruši brend. U drugoj epizodi specijalnog serijala snimljenog na Adriatic Festu u Pržnom, Ivan razgovara sa Richardom Shottonom, jednim od vodećih svetskih stručnjaka za primenu bihejvioralne nauke u marketingu. Kroz konkretne primere, istraživanja i duhovitu razmenu, Richard otkriva kako male psihološke nijanse oblikuju odluke potrošača i zašto marketing često promaši cilj kada ignoriše ljudsku prirodu. Razgovara se o raskolu između akademije i industrije i načinima da se taj jaz premosti, o snazi konteksta, socijalnog dokaza i distinktivnosti u građenju brenda, kao i o tome zašto su najjednostavnije odluke ponekad najteže ljudima da donesu. Dotaknute su poznate heuristike, efekat izolacije, serial position efekat, IKEA efekat i brojni primeri iz realnog sveta - od Nespresso kapsula i Apple kutija do Monzo kartica i Hendrick's krastavaca.

Strap in, because Sparky's ride from the C-17 to the B-2 is basically the aviation version of “What could possibly go wrong?” — except when everything did go wrong, and somehow nobody died. We open with Sparky nearly spearing aPassenger Airliner 737 at FL280 when the T-38's pitot-static system decided to take the day off. That set the tone. Next, he walks us through dropping flares directly onto a detainee camp in Kandahar (oops), landing a 585,000-pound C-17 on a 3,000-foot dirt strip, and descending at 25,000 feet per minute because… why not? Then we move to the B-2, where one of the highlights is pressing one button and starting all four engines at once, like a nuclear-hardened Nespresso machine. Sparky's stories swing from hilarious to jaw-dropping, and many would make an FAA inspector faint. It's chaos, comedy, combat aviation, and classic So There I Was—all wrapped into two monster episodes… This week and next we are honored to welcome our first B-2 Spirit Pilot

Is your daily grind actually just grinding you down? Jessica Wynn exposes coffee addiction's brilliant masquerade as self-care on this Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by Jessica Wynn!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1185On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:Coffee is basically "PG-13 cocaine" — the world's most socially acceptable drug addiction. It doesn't give you energy; it just gaslights your brain into ignoring how exhausted you really are.Your morning cup requires 36 gallons of water to produce and contributes to massive deforestation. Coffee is "the ExxonMobil of beverages" — environmentally brutal at industrial scale.The coffee industry exploits workers through child labor and modern slavery, even at major brands like Starbucks and Nespresso. Your $6 latte has some dark supply chain secrets.Health effects are a mixed bag — potential liver benefits vs. stomach lining damage, anxiety spikes, and sleep disruption. Corporate-funded research makes the science murky at best.Take control: Research your coffee brands, ask baristas about bean sourcing, support certified ethical suppliers, or try the radical alternative — eat an apple and take a nap instead!Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
