Regulatorik wird in Organisationen oft als Belastung erlebt. Doch für wirksame Führung reicht es nicht, Regulierung pauschal abzulehnen oder Compliance blind zu verwalten. In dieser Episode analysiert Niels Brabandt, wie Entscheidungstragende im Business mit Regulatorik professionell umgehen: sachlich, strategisch und konsequent anwendungsorientiert. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage, wann Regulatorik Sicherheit, Vertrauen und Verlässlichkeit schafft und wann sie in reine Bürokratie kippt. Niels Brabandt zeigt anhand konkreter Beispiele, warum Regulierung häufig aus realen Risiken entsteht, weshalb Theorie und Praxis dauerhaft in Spannung stehen und warum Organisationen Regulatory Compliance institutionalisieren müssen, ohne unnötige Verwaltungsapparate aufzubauen. Diese Episode richtet sich an Führungskräfte, Geschäftsleitungen, Vorstände, HR-Verantwortliche, Compliance-Verantwortliche, Projektverantwortliche und alle Entscheidungstragenden, die Regulierung nicht nur erfüllen, sondern wirksam führen wollen. Kernfragen dieser Episode: - Warum entsteht Regulatorik meistens aus konkreten Risiken? - Wie unterscheiden Führungskräfte zwischen sinnvoller Regulierung und reiner Bürokratie? - Warum reicht es nicht, Regulierung nur juristisch zu betrachten? - Wie wird Compliance von einer Pflicht zu einem Führungsinstrument? - Welche Rolle spielen Institutionalisierung, Best Practice und Anwendung in regulierten Organisationen? Mit Niels Brabandt, Experte für Sustainable Leadership, Führung, Organisationsentwicklung, Change Management und wirksame Umsetzung in regulierten und nicht regulierten Branchen.

In this leadership podcast, Niels Brabandt interviews Kevin Dias, author of The Problem-First Method, about why organisations so often jump to solutions before they have properly understood the problem. The conversation explores why smart teams still build features that do not stick, how customer requests can become misleading solution language, why competitor pressure is not a strategy, and how sales urgency can push organisations into avoidable product and leadership mistakes. Kevin Dias explains how teams can create better decision systems, including feature alignment documents, problem-first problem statements and practical methods for resisting premature solution thinking. The discussion is especially relevant for executives, founders, product leaders, sales leaders, HR leaders, transformation leaders and decision-makers navigating AI pressure, customer demands and competitive noise. Niels Brabandt and Kevin Dias also discuss the difference between saying no and asking better questions. The goal is not to slow business down. The goal is to ensure that organisations solve real problems, not invented ones, and that every feature, initiative or transformation project is connected to genuine value.

AI is changing business, leadership and organisational decision-making. Yet is it truly thinking, or merely producing fast and fluent responses that can reinforce existing assumptions? In this high-level leadership interview, Niels Brabandt speaks with Cambridge Professor and AI pioneer Dr Mark Khater about the future of AI, the limits of machine intelligence and the capabilities leaders must protect in themselves and their organisations. Dr Mark Khater explains why machines may process fast, but humans must still think deep. The conversation explores AI as infrastructure, not merely technology, the strategic importance of signal over scale, the danger of using AI only for cost-cutting, and the leadership risk of silent correlation failure, where organisations become aligned around the wrong answer. Niels Brabandt and Dr Mark Khater also discuss bias in AI models, the cultural limitations of English-dominant training data, the problem of "yes models", and why leaders need diverse thinkers, devil's advocates and stronger judgment in an AI-enabled world. For decision-makers in business, this episode provides a clear and practical perspective on responsible AI leadership, organisational capability and the future of work. Niels Brabandt works internationally as a leadership expert, trainer, speaker, coach, consultant, mentor, and project and interim manager.

Regulation is often described as a barrier to business. In this leadership episode, Niels Brabandt challenges that assumption and explains how decision-makers can separate useful regulation from unnecessary red tape. The episode explores why regulation matters, how it protects safety, security, markets and trust, and why simplistic anti-regulation arguments fail in real-world business. Niels Brabandt discusses examples from financial services, transport platforms such as Uber, accommodation platforms such as Airbnb, sustainability, compliance departments and internal legal functions. The core leadership question is not whether regulation is convenient. The core question is whether it creates value. Regulation that improves safety, security, transparency and accountability deserves disciplined implementation. Regulation that only creates administration, paperwork and internal friction deserves careful challenge and redesign. This episode is for executives, founders, HR leaders, compliance leaders, transformation leaders and decision-makers who need to turn legal requirements into practical organisational behaviour without damaging productivity, innovation or customer focus.

Je staat op de juiste plek, je hebt geluk, en daar is 'ie: dé foto. Alleen... het moment klopt voor geen meter. Een drama, een ongeluk, iets pijnlijks. Hartstikke krachtig beeld, maar wat doe je ermee? Op Instagram knallen voor de likes? In de la stoppen en nooit meer naar kijken? Of toch delen, omdat juist die foto iets vertelt wat anders ongezegd blijft? Het is een van de lastigste vragen in de fotografie en er is geen makkelijk antwoord.In deze aflevering hebben Niels en Michiel het over die foto die je liever niet had gemaakt, maar die er wel is. Wanneer ben je fotograaf en wanneer ben je gewoon mens? Wat als je opdrachtgever er anders over denkt dan jij? En hoe ga je om met de reacties die je krijgt, of juist niet krijgt? Een gesprek vol grijstinten, want zwart-wit is dit onderwerp zeker niet.

De #DCDW podcast wordt gepubliceerd om de online automotive beter te maken. In deze aflevering spreekt host Paul de Vries, oprichter van #DCDW, met Mark van Zelst van Carvendo. Tijdens deze podcast gaan we in op de nieuwste ontwikkelingen waarmee Mark van Zelst de automotive verbetert.   Mark van Zelst is een ervaren e-commerce ondernemer met een rijke geschiedenis in de automotive wereld. Hij was onder andere CEO bij Autotrack, Easy Buy en Bynco Next Car, en werkte eerder als commercieel directeur bij Pricewise en bij Coolblue. Zijn carrière begon ooit als autoverkoper bij Van Marwijk in Leiden, waar de autoliefde zijn oorsprong vond. Die combinatie van e-commerce expertise en passie voor auto's vormt de basis voor zijn nieuwste onderneming: Carvendo.   Carvendo is de Nederlandse startup die de online verkoop van tweedehands auto's naar een hoger niveau wil tillen. De naam is bewust gekozen: "car" spreekt voor zich, en "vendo" betekent in veel talen een afleiding van verkopen. Bovendien wordt de naam in elke taal hetzelfde uitgesproken, wat de internationale ambities van het bedrijf ondersteunt. Mark richtte Carvendo op samen met Niels, een voormalige senior verkoper bij Bynco, nadat Autotrack besloot te stoppen met de Easy Buy service. In plaats van te berusten in die beslissing, koos Mark voor een frisse start: "ik begin opnieuw."   Tijdens de podcast bespreekt Paul de Vries uitgebreid de definitie van online autoverkoop. Is een auto online verkocht als de klant via Marktplaats contact opneemt en vervolgens langsskomt? Of is het pas echt online als de volledige transactie digitaal plaatsvindt zonder enig fysiek contact? Mark legt uit dat Carvendo kiest voor een hybride aanpak die verder gaat dan een klassieke advertentiewebsite. Klanten kunnen direct een bestelling plaatsen op het platform, zonder dat er contact nodig is met het bedrijf. Tegelijkertijd wordt er altijd de mogelijkheid geboden om een proefrit te maken bij de dealer, wat het vertrouwen vergroot en het retourrecht bij gebruik overbodig maakt.   Een belangrijke doelgroep voor Carvendo zijn expats. Deze groep mensen komt naar Nederland, kent de lokale markt niet goed, en wil ontzorgd worden bij de aankoop van een auto. Ze zijn vaak gewend aan volledig digitale processen vanuit hun land van herkomst en vinden in Carvendo een betrouwbare partner. Vanuit de Bynco-tijd wist Mark al dat expats een grote en loyale kopersgroep vormen, en die kennis past hij nu opnieuw toe.   Het platform werkt uitsluitend met auto's die voldoen aan specifieke kwaliteitseisen: maximaal vijftien jaar oud en maximaal 175.000 kilometer op de teller. Alle auto's worden geleverd met minimaal 12 maanden garantie en moeten de eerste 12.000 kilometer onderhoudsvrij zijn. Inruilen is ook mogelijk: de klant levert digitaal alle informatie aan, de dealer geeft een bod, en Carvendo verzorgt de communicatie. Voor dit inruilproces wordt een kleine vergoeding van €75 gevraagd, naast de succesvergoeding die pas wordt betaald op het moment dat er daadwerkelijk een auto wordt verkocht.   Na een succesvolle eerste drie maanden, waarbij Carvendo elke dag gemiddeld één auto verkocht én winst maakte zonder extern kapitaal, kijkt Mark vol vertrouwen naar de toekomst. De volgende stap is de introductie van private occasionlease, in samenwerking met een leasepartner. Hiermee wordt Carvendo in één klap één van de grootste aanbieders van private occasionlease in Nederland, dankzij het brede aanbod van inmiddels meer dan tienduizend auto's op het platform.   Op het gebied van marketing kiest Carvendo voor een slimme, datagedreven aanpak. Er wordt volop gebruikgemaakt van AI, zowel aan de voorkant van de website – met een AI-gestuurde zoektool waarmee klanten in natuurlijke taal kunnen zoeken – als aan de achterkant via geautomatiseerde processen in het CRM-systeem Zoho. Blogs worden wekelijks gepubliceerd om de vindbaarheid te vergroten, en er wordt gewerkt aan bredere naamsbekendheid via sociale media en zoekmachineadvertenties.   Carvendo staat open voor alle soorten autobedrijven: van merkdealers tot universele autobedrijven en bedrijfswagenbedrijven. Geïnteresseerden kunnen contact opnemen via het telefoonnummer op de website, een e-mail sturen naar info@carvendo.nl, of zich aanmelden via de aanmeldknop voor autobedrijven op de website.   Een inspirerende aflevering over doorzettingsvermogen, innovatie en de toekomst van de online autoverkoop in Nederland.

Was passiert, wenn kritisches Wissen nur in den Köpfen einzelner Mitarbeitender existiert? In dieser Episode des Leadership Podcasts spricht Niels Brabandt über das Problem mit Druidenwissen: unverzichtbares Erfahrungswissen, das nicht dokumentiert ist, nicht geteilt wird und Organisationen dadurch abhängig, langsam und verletzlich macht. Druidenwissen entsteht häufig aus Engagement, Kompetenz und Loyalität. Doch wenn dieses Wissen nicht systematisch gesichert wird, entsteht ein erhebliches Geschäftsrisiko. Besonders betroffen sind Unternehmen mit historisch gewachsenen Prozessen, inhabergeführte Mittelständler, technische Schlüsselrollen, vertriebsnahe Kundenbeziehungen und Organisationen ohne klare Vertretungs- und Nachfolgeplanung. Niels Brabandt erläutert, warum Druidenwissen selten nur ein Dokumentationsproblem ist. Im Kern geht es um Vertrauen, Vorhersagbarkeit von Führung, psychologische Sicherheit und Wertschätzung. Mitarbeitende teilen kritisches Wissen nur dann offen, wenn sie nicht befürchten müssen, durch ihr eigenes Wissen austauschbarer zu werden. In dieser Episode erfahren Sie: ·         Was Druidenwissen in Organisationen bedeutet ·         Warum kritisches Wissen oft bei einzelnen Personen hängen bleibt ·         Welche Risiken für Geschäftsmodelle, IT, Vertrieb und Nachfolgeplanung entstehen ·         Weshalb Dokumentation ohne Vertrauen scheitert ·         Warum vorhersagbares Führungsverhalten entscheidend ist ·         Wie Unternehmen Wissen sichern, ohne Mitarbeitende zu entwerten ·         Welche Schritte Führungskräfte sofort einleiten sollten Diese Folge richtet sich an Geschäftsführerinnen und Geschäftsführer, Vorstände, Führungskräfte, HR-Verantwortliche, Organisationsentwicklerinnen und Organisationsentwickler sowie alle Entscheidungstragenden, die Wissensmanagement, Knowledge Management, Sustainable Leadership und Unternehmensresilienz strategisch verbessern möchten. Niels Brabandt steht für Sustainable Leadership, Führungskräfteentwicklung, Organisationsentwicklung, Professional Training, Speaking, Coaching, Consulting, Mentoring sowie Projekt- und Interim Management.

What happens when the one person who truly understands a critical system, client, process or workaround is suddenly unavailable? In this episode, Niels Brabandt examines the Druid Knowledge Problem: the leadership risk that arises when essential organisational knowledge is held by one person or a very small group of people and is not properly documented, shared or embedded in the business. The issue often begins positively. Someone is engaged, experienced and trusted. They know how the software works, which client contact matters, which process is unofficially decisive and how to keep legacy systems running. Yet this strength can quickly become a single point of failure. Niels Brabandt explains why Druid Knowledge is not merely a documentation issue. It is a leadership issue, a trust issue and a business continuity issue. Employees may avoid documenting their expertise when they fear becoming replaceable. Leaders therefore need to create predictable behaviour, psychological safety and credible commitments before knowledge transfer can work. This episode is essential listening for executives, founders, HR leaders, organisational development professionals and decision-makers who want to reduce operational risk, protect critical knowledge and build more resilient organisations. Topics covered include: - What the Druid Knowledge Problem means in modern organisations - Why undocumented expertise creates business continuity risk - How owner-led and mid-sized businesses become vulnerable - Why employees may resist documentation - The link between trust, leadership behaviour and knowledge transfer - How to reduce single points of failure without threatening employees - Why Sustainable Leadership requires resilient knowledge structures Learn more about Niels Brabandt and his work in Sustainable Leadership, leadership development, organisational development, coaching, consulting, mentoring and interim management at www.NB-Networks.biz.

In this episode of the Niels Brabandt leadership podcast, Niels Brabandt interviews Danny M Goldberg on one of the most relevant leadership questions in modern business: is it more important to be liked, or to be respected? The conversation explores why kindness matters, but why kindness without boundaries can turn into people pleasing, overextension, and professional exploitation. Danny M Goldberg discusses how professionals can set boundaries, say no without becoming rude, and avoid losing their own priorities in the attempt to please everyone else. Niels Brabandt and Danny M Goldberg also examine a major leadership risk: the over-reliance on reliable people. When the most capable employees always receive the most urgent work, leaders may unintentionally reward competence with overload. This can damage performance, motivation, retention, and trust. This interview is particularly relevant for executives, founders, HR leaders, managers, team leads, and decision-makers who want to build a culture of respect, accountability, sustainable leadership, and healthier workplace boundaries. Key topics include leadership, respect, being liked versus being respected, boundaries at work, saying no professionally, people pleasing, workplace culture, management behaviour, over-reliance on high performers, project management, delegation, executive leadership, sustainable leadership, and business communication.

Why do logically sound change programmes still fail? Why do employees agree in the meeting, applaud the strategy and then return to old habits? In this leadership interview, Niels Brabandt speaks with Dr. Michael Gerharz about how leaders communicate so people actually act. Dr. Michael Gerharz explains why logic is necessary but insufficient, why persuasion often creates resistance and why resonance is far more powerful for leaders who want genuine commitment. Together, Niels Brabandt and Dr. Gerharz discuss the difference between corporate language and meaningful communication, the role of costly signals, the Alcoa example under Paul O'Neill and the danger of relying on charisma without creating genuine understanding. This episode is essential listening for executives, founders, senior managers, HR leaders, communication professionals and transformation leaders who need people to act on strategy, AI initiatives, restructuring, innovation projects or organisational change. Key topics include leadership communication, change communication, resonance, persuasion, costly signals, charisma, technical communication, strategy communication, AI transformation and how leaders can move people from agreement to action.

What happens when markets stop behaving like machines and start behaving like living systems? In this episode, Richard Brennan joins Niels to explore passive investing, complex adaptive systems, volatility suppression, and the hidden forces reshaping modern market structure. From structured products and reflexive flows to demographics, trend following, and the fragile illusion of equilibrium, this conversation asks whether markets are becoming more unstable precisely because investors believe they have become safer. A thoughtful and layered discussion about why price discovery may be weakening, why trends persist, and why systematic strategies may be more relevant in a world increasingly shaped by feedback loops.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Rich on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps:00:00 - Introduction to the episode and overview of today's discussion02:22 - Richard Brennan breaks down passive investing through the lens of complex adaptive systems06:51 - What “complex adaptive systems” actually means in markets14:53 - Why passive investing changes market structure without individual investors realizing it24:06 - Niels discusses structured products, volatility suppression, and market fragility29:23 - How demographic shifts could eventually reshape passive investing trends35:37 - Trend following performance update and the TTU Trend Barometer38:48 - Listener question on variance, volatility, and correlation in systematic trend following42:04 - The “murmuration” analogy and why markets behave like flocks instead of machines48:31 - Why equilibrium theory survives despite failing to explain real markets51:17 - The endogenous engine of markets and the mechanics of reflexivity57:47 - How trend followers align with the architecture of modern markets01:03:12 - Why passive investing weakens balancing forces and strengthens trends01:13:43 - The statistical evidence showing markets structurally trend over time01:21:18 - Why trend following may become even more effective in the futureCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

What is toxic leadership really and where does the line begin? In this week's Leadership Podcast, Niels Brabandt analyses one of the most misunderstood leadership concepts in modern business: toxic leadership. Based on scientific definitions, real-world leadership practice and organisational reality, this episode explores why many organisations wrongly label demanding leadership as toxic and why this confusion creates significant risks for business performance, leadership quality and workplace culture. This episode covers: • The scientific definition of toxic leadership • The research of Marcia Lynn Whicker and Jean Lipman-Blumen • The difference between tough leadership and toxic leadership • Why discomfort at work is not automatically toxicity • Toxic behaviours that damage people and organisations • Leadership accountability, performance management and consequences • Leadership qualification and professional leadership development • How organisations prevent toxic leadership through awareness and culture If you are a leader, executive, board member, HR professional or decision-maker, this episode provides clear guidance on identifying destructive leadership behaviour while protecting high-performance cultures.

De een maakt een moodboard, stuurt een vragenlijst op en regelt de locatie twee weken van tevoren. De ander pakt de camera, kijkt wie er voor hem staat en begint gewoon. Beide fotografen maken goede foto's. Dus wat is nu wijsheid? Voorbereiding geeft houvast, structuur en rust. Maar het kan ook iets dichttimmeren wat juist open moet blijven.Want de beste momenten in een fotoshoot zijn zelden de geplande. Die komen als het model even niet oplet, als het licht ineens anders valt, als iemand begint te lachen om iets wat helemaal niks met de shoot te maken heeft. De vraag is niet of je voorbereidt. De vraag is hoeveel ruimte je overlaat voor wat er vanzelf gebeurt. Dat is het verschil tussen een shoot die klopt en een shoot die écht iets zegt.

In deze aflevering van DNW Politiek duiken Talitha Muusse, Jasper van Dijk en Niels van den Bovenkamp (politiek verslaggever Nederlands Dagblad) diep in de aanhoudende asielcrisis. Waarom lukt het Den Haag maar niet om grip te krijgen op dit hoofdpijndossier?We bespreken de strakke mediaregie van politici zoals Geert Wilders in de wandelgangen, de veelbesproken 'draai' van de ChristenUnie op asielgebied, de blijvende chaos in Ter Apel en de dreigende clash rondom de Spreidingswet nu minister Van den Brink met dwang dreigt. Ook blikken we vooruit op de start van de parlementaire enquête naar het coronabeleid en de naderende vakbondsprotesten.Haal je kaartjes voor de Theater Tour! ⭐16 juni: De Maagd, Bergen op Zoom: Willem Middelkoop: https://www.demaagd.nl/agenda/ondergang-van-het-avondland-de-nieuwe-wereld-4xn6Steun DNWMaak het geluid van de Nieuwe Wereld mogelijk.

Hari Krishnan joins Niels and Cem for a deep exploration of what happens when markets become dominated by flows rather than fundamentals. Drawing on his new paper with Mike Green and Stefan Sturm, Hari explains why rising passive ownership may weaken price discovery, amplify concentration in mega-cap stocks and create conditions for reflexive instability. The conversation expands far beyond indexing, touching on volatility targeting, leverage, dispersion, inflation, government intervention and the growing dependence of the global economy on rising asset prices. Along the way, Cem and Hari debate whether policymakers can continue stabilizing an increasingly fragile system, what could trigger a structural break, and how investors should think about positioning in a world where flows may matter more than fundamentals.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Cem on Twitter.Follow Hari on LinkedIn.Episode TimeStamps: 00:00 - Hari warns about a fragile financial system dependent on a handful of decision-makers01:06 - Niels introduces Hari's new paper with Mike Green and Stefan Sturm03:00 - Why passive investing may weaken the link between fundamentals and prices08:40 - The key assumptions behind the model12:49 - How passive adoption accelerated structural market changes15:11 - Cem explains why markets may now drive the economy rather than reflect it23:38 - Can policymakers control a complex financial system?27:03 - How passive flows amplify mega-cap concentration31:22 - The changing role of dispersion, volatility and positioning41:04 - What the model suggests about instability at high passive ownership levels46:21 - Why 2022 may have been a warning sign51:55 - Inflation, government intervention and the limits of market control55:33 - What could trigger a systemic break?01:07:28 - Political and demographic pressures beneath the system01:10:43 - Hari's portfolio implications: stay long, hedge smartly and own inflation sensitivityCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

Transcript:Da: Solen skinnede blidt over Nyhavn, hvor farverige huse spejlede sig i det stille vand.En: The sun shone gently over Nyhavn, where colorful houses reflected in the calm water.Da: Både vuggede langsomt langs kajen, og folk vandrede langsomt forbi, opslugte af denne lørdags afslappede atmosfære.En: Boats swayed slowly along the quay, and people ambled slowly past, absorbed in this Saturday's relaxed atmosphere.Da: Det var her, blandt det livlige mylder af folk, at Niels og Kirstine mødtes igen efter mange års adskillelse.En: It was here, among the lively throng of people, that Niels and Kirstine met again after many years of separation.Da: Niels, høj og lidt sky, ventede nervøst ved kanten af kajen.En: Niels, tall and a bit shy, waited nervously at the edge of the quay.Da: Kirstine havde bemærket ham fra afstand, og med et stort smil på læben nærmede hun sig.En: Kirstine had noticed him from afar and, with a big smile on her face, she approached him.Da: "Niels!"En: "Niels!"Da: råbte hun glad og vinkede ivrigt.En: she shouted happily and waved eagerly.Da: Det tog ham et øjeblik at svare, men hans smil spredte sig langsomt, da de to omfavnede hinanden.En: It took him a moment to respond, but his smile spread slowly as the two embraced each other.Da: "Det er så lang tid siden," sagde Kirstine med en blanding af glæde og længsel.En: "It's been so long," said Kirstine with a mix of joy and longing.Da: Hun trak ham med sig hen ad brostensbelagte gader.En: She pulled him along the cobblestone streets.Da: "Kom, jeg vil vise dig, hvad du har misset."En: "Come, I want to show you what you've missed."Da: De gik langs kajen, mens spredte snakke og lyden af klirrende glas fyldte luften.En: They walked along the quay, while scattered conversations and the sound of clinking glasses filled the air.Da: "Jeg hører, caféen går godt?"En: "I hear the café's doing well?"Da: spurgte Niels, idet de satte sig ved et lille bord udenfor.En: asked Niels as they sat down at a small table outside.Da: Kirstine nikkede med stolthed i øjnene.En: Kirstine nodded with pride in her eyes.Da: "Jeg har arbejdet hårdt, men det har betalt sig."En: "I've worked hard, but it's paid off."Da: Niels lyttede, da Kirstine fortalte om sine seneste udfordringer og triumphs.En: Niels listened as Kirstine talked about her recent challenges and triumphs.Da: Hendes optimisme og energi var smittende og mindede ham om, hvorfor han i sin tid havde holdt så meget af hendes selskab.En: Her optimism and energy were infectious and reminded him why he had always enjoyed her company so much.Da: Men han kunne stadig mærke en nervefornemmelse, der ulmede under overfladen.En: But he could still feel a sense of nervousness simmering beneath the surface.Da: Efter kaffe foreslog Kirstine en bådtur.En: After coffee, Kirstine suggested a boat trip.Da: "Det giver dig det bedste perspektiv på byen," sagde hun, og Niels gav sig.En: "It gives you the best perspective on the city," she said, and Niels obliged.Da: Som båden gled gennem kanalerne, åbnede Niels sig forsigtigt.En: As the boat glided through the canals, Niels cautiously opened up.Da: "Du ved, det har ikke altid været let," begyndte han langsomt.En: "You know, it hasn't always been easy," he began slowly.Da: Han talte om sine rejser, om de ensomme nætter blandt ruiner og under stjernerne i fjerne lande.En: He talked about his travels, about the lonely nights among ruins and under the stars in distant lands.Da: Kirstine lyttede opmærksomt og lagde en hånd på hans arm som støtte.En: Kirstine listened attentively and placed a hand on his arm in support.Da: Som solen begyndte at synke, gik de langs kajen tilbage.En: As the sun began to set, they walked back along the quay.Da: "Jeg har savnet dig," sagde Kirstine pludselig.En: "I've missed you," said Kirstine suddenly.Da: Hendes stemme var alvorlig, ærlig.En: Her voice was serious, honest.Da: Niels standsede og så hende ind i øjnene.En: Niels stopped and looked into her eyes.Da: "Og jeg har savnet dig," svarede han, idet en tyngde på hans hjerte blev løftet.En: "And I've missed you," he replied, as a weight was lifted from his heart.Da: De satte sig ved havnens kant med hver deres is i hånden.En: They sat by the edge of the harbor with an ice cream in each hand.Da: Rundt omkring skiftede lysene fra de gamle huse langsomt til et gyldent skær.En: Around them, the lights of the old houses slowly shifted to a golden hue.Da: Der var ro, en genfunden forståelse mellem dem.En: There was tranquility, a newfound understanding between them.Da: "Jeg var nervøs for at komme tilbage," tilstod Niels.En: "I was nervous about coming back," confessed Niels.Da: "Men nu ser jeg, hvor meget du og byen er vokset.En: "But now I see how much you and the city have grown.Da: Jeg tror, jeg kan passe ind igen."En: I think I can fit in again."Da: Kirstine smilte og så ud over vandet.En: Kirstine smiled and looked out over the water.Da: "Vi er heldige, tænkte hende.En: "We are lucky," she thought.Da: At have hinanden og denne smukke by.En: To have each other and this beautiful city.Da: Og måske er der stadig meget at opdage sammen."En: And perhaps there was still much to discover together."Da: De sad der længe, mens aftenens kølige brise mindede dem om, at verden omkring dem fortsatte med at dreje.En: They sat there for a long time, while the cool evening breeze reminded them that the world around them continued to turn.Da: Men lige i dette øjeblik, mellem søskende og gamle gader, havde de fundet deres vej tilbage til hinanden.En: But right in this moment, between the siblings and old streets, they had found their way back to each other.

ivrige entreprenører og innovative idéer.En: A room filled with eager entrepreneurs and innovative ideas.Da: Kasper sad ved sit skrivebord og stirrede på computeren.En: Kasper sat at his desk, staring at the computer.Da: Dagens store opgave stod ham for, men han havde kun én tanke i hovedet: hvor var prototypen?En: The big task of the day was ahead of him, but he had only one thought in his mind: where was the prototype?Da: Den indviklede enhed til den nye app, som Kasper og hans team havde arbejdet så hårdt på, var væk.En: The intricate device for the new app that Kasper and his team had worked so hard on was missing.Da: Og uden den, ingen pitch.En: And without it, no pitch.Da: Kasper var kendt for sin beslutsomhed, men i dag mærkede han presset.En: Kasper was known for his determination, but today he felt the pressure.Da: Hans tankestrøm blev afbrudt da Emilie, hans dygtige kollega med en skarp teknologisk forståelse, kom hen til ham.En: His train of thought was interrupted when Emilie, his talented colleague with a sharp technological understanding, came over to him.Da: "Du ser bekymret ud, Kasper.En: "You look worried, Kasper.Da: Hvad sker der?"En: What's going on?"Da: "Prototypen er væk.En: "The prototype is gone.Da: Vi har brug for den til præsentationen om to timer," svarede Kasper hurtigt.En: We need it for the presentation in two hours," Kasper responded quickly.Da: "Og labbet er lukket for rengøring.En: "And the lab is closed for cleaning.Da: Jeg kan ikke komme ind uden adgangskort."En: I can't get in without an access card."Da: Emilie tænkte sig om et øjeblik.En: Emilie thought for a moment.Da: "Har du talt med Niels?En: "Have you talked to Niels?Da: Han er den nye pedel, måske kan han hjælpe."En: He's the new custodian, maybe he can help."Da: Det var en chance.En: It was a chance.Da: Kasper og Emilie fandt hurtigt Niels, der var ved at skifte lysstofrør i gangen.En: Kasper and Emilie quickly found Niels, who was changing fluorescent lights in the hallway.Da: "Hej Niels, vi har lidt af en nødsituation," forklarede Kasper hurtigt.En: "Hey Niels, we have a bit of an emergency," Kasper explained quickly.Da: Niels lyttede opmærksomt, nikkede og svarede, "Jeg kan ikke åbne labbet, men jeg kender en bagvej gennem vedligeholdelsestunnelen.En: Niels listened attentively, nodded, and replied, "I can't open the lab, but I know a back way through the maintenance tunnel.Da: Måske kan det hjælpe."En: Maybe that can help."Da: Tiden var knap.En: Time was short.Da: De tre lavede en hurtig plan.En: The three quickly made a plan.Da: En skjult håndværkertunnel førte til bagsiden af laboratoriet.En: A hidden utility tunnel led to the back of the laboratory.Da: De kravlede gennem tunnelens smalle pas, fyldt med kabler og mekaniske dele.En: They crawled through the tunnel's narrow passage, filled with cables and mechanical parts.Da: Lige inden de nåede labbet, fandt de en sikkerhedslås, som ingen af dem vidste var der.En: Just before they reached the lab, they found a security lock that none of them knew was there.Da: "Hvad gør vi nu?"En: "What do we do now?"Da: spurgte Kasper i panik.En: Kasper asked, panicked.Da: Emilie tog sin telefon frem, åbnede en hacking-app og gik i gang med at omgå systemet.En: Emilie took out her phone, opened a hacking app, and started bypassing the system.Da: Sekunden tikkede for hurtigt.En: Seconds ticked by too quickly.Da: Endelig bipede låsen, og døren gled op.En: Finally, the lock beeped, and the door slid open.Da: Prototypen stod der, i al sin elektroniske glans.En: The prototype stood there, in all its electronic glory.Da: Med sekunder tilbage greb Kasper den, og de hastede alle tre tilbage til kontoret.En: With seconds to spare, Kasper grabbed it, and all three rushed back to the office.Da: Med prototypen i hånden indtog Kasper scenen foran de mulige investorer.En: With the prototype in hand, Kasper took the stage in front of the potential investors.Da: Hans hænder rystede, men hans stemme var stærk.En: His hands shook, but his voice was strong.Da: Præsentationen gik strålende, investorernes begejstring smittede af.En: The presentation went brilliantly, and the investors' enthusiasm was contagious.Da: Da han gik af scenen, smilede han til Emilie og Niels.En: As he stepped off the stage, he smiled at Emilie and Niels.Da: "Vi gjorde det."En: "We did it."Da: Kasper havde lært noget vigtigt den dag.En: Kasper learned something important that day.Da: Selvom han stod over for kaos, havde han opnået succes ved at stole på sine kolleger.En: Even when faced with chaos, he achieved success by relying on his colleagues.Da: Det gav ham selvtillid til at stå stærkere over for fremtidige udfordringer.En: It gave him the confidence to face future challenges stronger.Da: I denne inkubator i hjertet af København var der ingen tvivl om, at Kaspers rejse mod innovation lige var begyndt.En: In this incubator in the heart of

Je hebt geen visitekaartje. Geen website. Geen KvK-nummer. Maar je hebt wel een oog. En soms, vaker dan je denkt, maak jij de foto die de professional had willen maken. Dat is geen toeval. Dat is wat er gebeurt als je fotografeert puur omdat je het wil, zonder de druk van een deadline, een klant of een rekening die betaald moet worden. Vrijheid maakt iets los.De professional heeft iets wat jij niet hebt: een opdracht. En jij hebt iets wat hij soms kwijt is: de lol. Niet omdat professionals geen passie meer hebben, maar omdat geld, verwachtingen en klanten nu eenmaal meespelen. Jij stapt naar buiten omdat je ernaar uitkijkt. Dat zie je terug in je foto's. Dus stop met sorry zeggen voor je camera, je lens of je gebrek aan diploma. Je fotografievrienden Niels en Michiel zeggen het gewoon: jij doet het hartstikke goed.

Vi skal tilbage til 1500-tallet, til Samsø, til et sted hvor havet ikke bare er natur, men bærer på uforudsigelige ting, der kan dukke op og ændre et menneskes liv. Vi skal tale om 'Rasmus Nielsøn' af Rasmus Daugbjerg. Her møder vi en fæstebonde, der møder en havfrue, der kommer med en profeti. Den er fyldt med historie, eventyrlig mystik og stiller spørgsmål om kærlighed og samhørighed. Velkommen til Poptillæggets Bogklub, en bogklub for dem der vil læse og dem der bare vil lytte.

Farvel til Audi RS6 C8.Niels fortæller, at hans RS6 C8 er blevet solgt ekstremt hurtigt gennem Jonas fra CF Biler. Han går i dybden med leasing-økonomien og de dyre børnesygdomme som han har oplevet med bilen. Fartbøde og klip i kortet.René indrømmer (lidt modvilligt), at han har fået sit første klip i kørekortet i 20 år. Han blev fanget i en laserkontrol på vej ind mod Aarhus med 96-98 km/t, hvor man må køre 70 km/t.Tur på Honda Goldwing.Niels er lige kommet hjem fra en tur til Harzen på en Goldwing (udlånt af MC Syd). Han er overrasket over, hvor godt den 390 kg tunge "pølsevogn" kører, og hvordan dens lave tyngdepunkt gør den agil i sving.Anders Richter og drømmebiler.De taler om Anders Richter fra Bilklubben, som har købt en legendarisk BMW M3 CSL (E46). René lægger ikke skjul på sin misundelse, da det er en af hans absolutte drømmebiler. De diskuterer også Chris Harris' udtalelse om, at BMW E39 M5 er verdens bedste bil.Podcasten indeholder reklame.Tak til vores samarbejdspartnere: OK Oktan 100. http://ok.dkEngel Workwear. https://www.engel.eu/dk/daAros Forsikring. https://highoncars.dk/pages/forsikringHydro Precision Tubing. https://www.hydro.com/dkWiley X. https://www.wileyx.dk/HOC Members Club - støt os, og dansk bil community: https://HighOnCars.dk/club Tjek vores webshop ud!

After his time on the Sea King, Niels Olson moved into instructing at 3 CFFTS.In Part 3, he shares what it's like teaching new pilots, working in Standards, and supporting wildfire operations during Op Lentus. From coaching students through complex flying to landing in smoke so thick it turns day into night, this episode shows a different side of military aviation.

Why This Episode MattersNiels Bultink earned his PhD at QuTech under Leonardo DiCarlo, where he performed some of the first real-time feedback experiments on solid-state qubits — the foundational primitive behind quantum error correction. He spun Qblox out of TU Delft in 2018, and has grown it to roughly 140 people serving 150+ customers worldwide, mostly on revenue rather than venture capital, before raising a $26M Series A in 2024.This conversation matters now because the goalposts for useful quantum computing have moved closer in the last 12 months. Recent estimates suggest breaking RSA may need ~10,000–100,000 qubits, not tens of millions — and at that scale, the control stack is no longer a lab afterthought. It is a strategic supply chain question, which is why the DOE just picked Qblox to manufacture Fermilab's QICK platform domestically. If you care about how quantum computers actually get built — the layer between the qubit and the software — this is the episode for you.SponsorThis episode is brought to you by Outshift, Cisco's incubation engine. The need for computational power is rapidly increasing in every sector. From drug discovery to material innovation to complex financial modeling, classical systems are reaching their absolute limits. It's time for a paradigm shift. The answer is a scalable quantum network, built on open standards and vendor-agnostic architecture. By uniting distributed quantum devices, you unlock limitless computational power.Learn more about the Cisco Universal Quantum Switch at Outshift.com.Go deeper with the blog post.What We Get IntoWhy the IBM Quantum Experience originally needed a meter of rack equipment per qubit, and what had to change architecturally to scale past thatHow a quantum control stack can be genuinely qubit-agnostic — and where modality differences actually live (mostly in the analog front end, not the digital core)Why pre-compiled pulse sequences hit a wall, and how dynamic, adaptive control is a prerequisite for fault tolerance, not a nice-to-haveThe role of Qblox's SYNQ and LINQ protocols in achieving picosecond-level synchronization and low-latency feedback across hundreds of coresWhy FPGAs are the right substrate today, and why the field will need to move toward ASICs as production volumes growThe strategic logic behind manufacturing Fermilab's open-source QICK platform — and how it complements rather than cannibalizes the Qblox ClusterWhat the Quantum Utility Block partnership with QuantWare and Q-CTRL actually delivers, including a full-stack demo built in a weekend at APS March MeetingWhy Qblox opened a Boston HQ and started U.S. manufacturing in Canton, Massachusetts in 2026, and how geopolitics is reshaping quantum supply chainsNiels's read on which qubit modalities are gaining ground fastest right now — including a notable jump in spin qubits and neutral atomsWhat's special about the Dutch quantum ecosystem, and why a value-chain culture produced multiple revenue-driven hardware companiesResources & LinksGuest & CompanyQblox — Delft-based control stack company at the center of this episodeNiels Bultink on Google Scholar — Niels's research record from his QuTech years, useful background on his feedback control workQblox North America HQ announcement — Context for the Boston expansion discussed in the episodeQblox "Made in America" manufacturing announcement — Background on the Canton, MA manufacturing milestonePartnerships DiscussedFermilab × Qblox QICK partnership announcement — The DOE-backed deal for Qblox to manufacture and distribute QICKQuantum Utility Block press release — Joint reference system with QuantWare and Q-CTRL referenced in the episodeAPS 2024 full-stack demo recap — The 48-hour conference-floor build Niels mentionsFoundational Paper"Feedback Control of a Solid-State Qubit Using High-Fidelity Projective Measurement" — Ristè, Bultink et al., the 2012 work that grounds Niels's perspective on real-time controlFunding & Market ContextQblox Series A announcement — Context for the revenue-first growth story discussedThe Quantum Insider on the Series A — Independent coverage with quotes from QuantonationKey Quotes & InsightsOn why the control stack is more than picks and shovels: "Sometimes companies like us are called picks and shovels. It's a nice analogy, but it doesn't hold entirely. The qubits are just the bottom layer of the stack — and all the other layers are also crucial to develop."On flexibility as a requirement, not a feature: Pre-compiled, rigid sequences can't support quantum error correction. Adaptive, real-time control flows aren't a performance upgrade — they're "a basic need for this new era of quantum fault tolerance."On the moving goalposts for useful quantum computing: A year ago, breaking RSA looked like tens of millions of qubits. Recent estimates put it at 10,000–100,000 — "a factor hundred smaller what we now think we need versus a year ago."On the future of FPGAs: FPGAs are the right substrate for today's flexibility, but already at current production volumes, "it makes more sense to put things in chips, in ASICs."On the Dutch ecosystem: What sets Delft apart isn't a slogan about ecosystems but a value-chain culture — companies that focus on one layer, work together, and grow on customer revenue rather than venture rounds.Stay in the EcosystemSubscribe on Apple Podcasts,

Scroll een paar minuten door Instagram en het voelt alsof iedereen fotograaf is. In deze aflevering praten je fotografievrienden Niels en Michiel over die vraag die steeds vaker opkomt: zijn er eigenlijk niet gewoon te veel fotografen?We hebben het over zichtbaarheid. Over Instagram, LinkedIn, websites, netwerkbijeenkomsten en events. Over de druk om mee te doen, om gezien te worden. Maar ook over de vraag: moet je wel overal aanwezig zijn? Of kun je juist kiezen om het anders te doen? Meelopen of vooroplopen. Of misschien gewoon je eigen tempo bepalen.

Today, Niels and Alan examine a market shaped by two forces pulling in opposite directions: AI's promise of higher productivity and the inflationary pressure of geopolitical stress. From distorted economic data and shifting rate expectations to energy shocks, fiscal pressure, and the changing role of trend following, this conversation explores why traditional portfolios may need more flexibility than they once did. Alan also shares a world exclusive on the launch of his Regime Adaptive Fund, built around the idea that portfolios should not simply sit through changing regimes, but adjust as markets, inflation, and correlations evolve.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Hilarity & Romance: Niels' Spring Day Adventure in Nyhavn Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2026-05-09-07-38-20-da Story Transcript:Da: Solen skinnede klart over Nyhavn denne smukke forårsdag.En: The sun shone brightly over Nyhavn on this beautiful spring day.Da: Den blå himmel strakte sig som et lærred over de farverige bygninger, der omkransede den livlige kanal.En: The blue sky stretched like a canvas over the colorful buildings that lined the lively canal.Da: Det var Kristi Himmelfartsdag, og folk nød en velfortjent fridag med picnics og gåture langs vandet.En: It was Ascension Day, and people were enjoying a well-deserved day off with picnics and walks along the water.Da: Niels gik afslappet gennem Nyhavn, iført en løs, hvid skjorte og sine yndlingsbukser.En: Niels walked casually through Nyhavn, wearing a loose, white shirt and his favorite pants.Da: Han havde kun ét i tankerne: Isen fra hans favoritbutik nede ved havnen.En: He had only one thing in mind: Ice cream from his favorite shop down by the harbor.Da: Derudover spekulerede han på, hvordan han skulle invitere Karin, hans gode ven, på en date.En: Additionally, he wondered how he should invite Karin, his good friend, on a date.Da: "Jeg kan gøre det," mumlede han for sig selv.En: "I can do it," he muttered to himself.Da: Karin stod ikke langt væk og nød solen med Jens, deres fælles ven.En: Karin was not far away, enjoying the sun with Jens, their mutual friend.Da: De smilte og grinede, mens de kiggede ud over vandet.En: They smiled and laughed as they looked out over the water.Da: Da Niels nåede isboden, bestilte han sin favorit - en kugle pistacie.En: When Niels reached the ice cream stand, he ordered his favorite - a scoop of pistachio.Da: Mellem tankerne om isen og modet, han skulle samle for at tale med Karin, bemærkede han ikke turisten, der stod tæt på med et stort kamera hængende fra halsen.En: Between thoughts of ice cream and the courage he needed to gather to talk to Karin, he didn't notice the tourist standing nearby with a large camera hanging from their neck.Da: Han vendte sig rundt, og det skæbnesvangre øjeblik indtrådte.En: He turned around, and the fateful moment occurred.Da: Kameraets rem fangede hans bukseknap, og Niels snublede, næsten tabte sin is.En: The camera strap caught his pant button, and Niels stumbled, nearly dropping his ice cream.Da: En høj latter bredte sig fra menneskemængden omkring ham.En: A loud laugh spread from the crowd around him.Da: Turisten så forbløffet ud, men begyndte også at le.En: The tourist looked bewildered but also began to laugh.Da: Niels, hvis ansigt var blevet rødt, vidste, at dette øjeblik kunne gå to veje: lade sig overvælde af skam eller grine med.En: Niels, whose face had turned red, knew that this moment could go two ways: be overwhelmed by shame or laugh along.Da: "Hvis en tur til Nyhavn er hobbyfotografi, er jeg en sand mester i fysisk komik!"En: "If a trip to Nyhavn is hobby photography, I'm a true master of physical comedy!"Da: udbrød Niels med et stort grin.En: exclaimed Niels with a big grin.Da: Latteren steg, og Jens vinkede til Niels.En: The laughter swelled, and Jens waved to Niels.Da: Niels formåede forsigtigt at løsne sig fra remmen og bukke for publikumet.En: Niels managed to gently free himself from the strap and bowed to the audience.Da: Karin, med et stort smil, gik hen til ham.En: Karin, with a big smile, walked over to him.Da: "Du laver altid et show, ikke sandt?"En: "You always put on a show, don't you?"Da: drillede hun.En: she teased.Da: "Kun for de bedste," svarede Niels med et glimt i øjet.En: "Only for the best," replied Niels with a twinkle in his eye.Da: "Vil du gå en tur med mig langs vandet?"En: "Would you like to take a walk with me along the water?"Da: Karin nikkede og tog hans arm.En: Karin nodded and took his arm.Da: "Det ville jeg gerne."En: "I would love to."Da: Som de gik, følte Niels en nyvunden selvtillid.En: As they walked, Niels felt a newfound confidence.Da: Han havde indset, at humor var den bedste løsning på uventede situationer.En: He had realized that humor was the best solution to unexpected situations.Da: Ved at være sig selv havde han ikke kun overlevet et pinligt øjeblik, men også vundet Karin over.En: By being himself, he had not only survived an embarrassing moment but also won over Karin.Da: Og således blev en almindelig forårsdag i Nyhavn til noget ganske specielt for Niels og Karin, mens de spadserede videre langs vandet, omfavnet af den friske havluft og de nyudsprungne blomsters duft.En: And so, an ordinary spring day in Nyhavn became something quite special for Niels and Karin as they strolled further along the water, embraced by the fresh sea air and the scent of blooming flowers.

Varmen fra den spirende forårssol strømmede gennem de store vinduer i konferencerummet.En: The sky was clear over København, and the warmth from the budding spring sun streamed through the large windows of the conference room.Da: Inde i salen fyldte lyden af stemmer luften, mens begivenheden i den internationale topmøde blev åbnet.En: Inside the hall, the sound of voices filled the air as the event at the international summit was opened.Da: Blomsterdekorationer prydede rummet med nuancer fra lyserød til gul.En: Floral decorations adorned the room with shades from pink to yellow.Da: Men for Freja, en dygtig tolk, var det farverne, der snart ville blive hendes uventede udfordring.En: But for Freja, a skilled interpreter, it was the colors that would soon become her unexpected challenge.Da: Freja befandt sig ved et lille bord, udstyret med en mikrofon og et headset.En: Freja found herself at a small table, equipped with a microphone and a headset.Da: Selvom hun udadtil virkede rolig, var der en understrøm af nervøsitet inden i hende.En: Although she appeared calm outwardly, there was an undercurrent of nervousness within her.Da: Det var ikke hver dag, at hun tolkede ved en så prestigefyldt begivenhed.En: It wasn't every day she interpreted at such a prestigious event.Da: Målet var enkelt: at bevise sin dygtighed og bidrage til en gnidningsfri kommunikation mellem delegationerne.En: The goal was simple: to prove her skill and contribute to smooth communication between the delegations.Da: Som forhandlingerne begyndte, gled Freja ind i sin rolle.En: As the negotiations began, Freja slipped into her role.Da: Hendes stemme flød jævnt og tydeligt gennem headsettet, og hun tegnede smil på ansigterne af de, hun oversatte for.En: Her voice flowed smoothly and clearly through the headset, and she brought smiles to the faces of those she translated for.Da: Pludselig fangede en duft af hyacinter hendes opmærksomhed.En: Suddenly, a scent of hyacinths caught her attention.Da: Først tænkte hun ikke videre over det, men snart begyndte hendes øjne at svie, og hun måtte kæmpe for at holde fokus.En: At first, she didn't think much of it, but soon her eyes began to sting, and she had to struggle to maintain focus.Da: Søren, en af hendes kolleger, sad ved siden af og bemærkede straks hendes ubehag.En: Søren, one of her colleagues, sat next to her and immediately noticed her discomfort.Da: Han kiggede på Freja med en bekymret mine, men hun gav ham et forsigtigt smil og fortsatte med at arbejde.En: He looked at Freja with a concerned expression, but she gave him a cautious smile and continued working.Da: Det tog ikke lang tid, før hun skulle tage sit valg.En: It didn't take long before she had to make her choice.Da: Freja begyndte at riste og hoste.En: Freja began to feel her chest tighten and started to cough.Da: Hendes vejrtrækning blev hurtigere.En: Her breathing quickened.Da: Hun kunne mærke, at situationen blev alvorlig.En: She could feel the situation becoming serious.Da: Det var midt under en afgørende tale, da Freja indså, at hun ikke kunne fortsætte uden hjælp.En: It was in the middle of a crucial speech that Freja realized she couldn't continue without help.Da: Hun bankede diskret på bordet og signalerede til Søren.En: She discreetly tapped on the table and signaled to Søren.Da: Panikken i hendes øjne var tydelig nu.En: The panic in her eyes was now evident.Da: Inden længe kom Niels, en mere erfaren tolk, til undsætning.En: Soon enough, Niels, a more experienced interpreter, came to the rescue.Da: De hjalp henne forsigtigt ud af rummet.En: They carefully helped her out of the room.Da: Udenfor konferencelokalet fik Freja en åbenluftspose og blev beroliget.En: Outside the conference room, Freja was given a fresh air bag and was calmed down.Da: Hun sank dybt ned i stolen, mens hendes åndedræt blev roligere.En: She sank deeply into the chair as her breathing became more relaxed.Da: Frejas beslutning om at bede om hjælp havde forhindret en mere alvorlig situation.En: Freja's decision to ask for help had prevented a more serious situation.Da: Efter den hændelse vidste Freja, at hun havde lært en vigtig lektie.En: After the incident, Freja knew she had learned an important lesson.Da: Hun kunne ikke altid kontrollere det uventede, men hun kunne påvirke, hvordan hun håndterede det.En: She couldn't always control the unexpected, but she could influence how she handled it.Da: Siden den dag begyndte Freja at tage flere forholdsregler for at sikre, at hendes helbred og præstation kunne forenes.En: From that day on, Freja began to take more precautions to ensure her health and performance could be aligned.Da: København lå stadig baskende i forårssolen, og Frejas kapitel i dette kapitel i hendes professionelle liv havde fået en ny begyndelse.En: København still basked in the spring sun, and Freja's chapter in this stage of her professional life had begun anew.

What many of us are missing in modern life is a right of passage that brings us into an expansion on our path through sacred initiation. And when that right of passage is performed on sacred lands that have magical beings like Ireland, it can be even more incredible. Today's guest is Neils Vantzuriel. For over 10 years, he and his partner have guided highly successful women into Ireland's wild landscapes and to forgotten sacred sites to resolve their private ache of self abandonment. Join us, to find out more! Neils Vantzuriel is deeply dedicated to personal and spiritual development. He is an archeologist with intimate knowledge of Ireland's sacred ancient sites, living entities holding secrets from millennia past. Liminal spaces, where the veil is thin. Found in forgotten remote areas such as secluded grottos, caves, sacred wells or specific structures that contain “memory traces” or specialized artifacts of a period of personal challenge, learning, and vulnerability and represent a change in identity, shape, social cohesion, and transform individuals from one social role to another. Neils is a Co-architect of The Arrival Method, a 4-6 month sacred initiation culminating in a 6 day Rite of Passage journey. Neils guides women along their journey of reconnection to ancient wisdom, spiritual healing through ritual and story telling for self discovery. Watch or listen to the show for practical tips to stop self abandoning and ways to become the woman you always felt you were meant to be. You’re Invited! LEARN MORE: AdventuresInQuietPlaces.info   NIELS VANTZURIEL BIO Niels is a Rite of Passage facilitator and the co-architect of The Arrival Method. For over 10 years, he has guided highly successful women into Ireland's wild landscapes and to forgotten sacred sites to resolve their private ache of self-abandonment. Moving beyond the exhausted “no pain, no gain” paradigm of traditional growth, Niels pioneers the “Pleasure Path”; a ‘biological exit strategy’ for the overworked and burned out professional woman. By blending deep trance work, transformative storytelling, and the hard neurobiology of bliss, he helps women safely bypass their brain’s logic gatekeeper to fundamentally rewire their subconscious operating system. His work utilizes ecstatic states to induce transient hypofrontality, allowing for profound neuroplasticity and rapid identity-level shifts without the need for looping therapy or trauma-mining. Niels does not host retreats; he curates structural identity upgrades. Through carefully held ceremonies at hidden thresholds far off the tourist paths, he provides the exact space, science, and containment required for a woman to stop fixing herself and finally step into her undeniable sovereignty. blend of spiritual depth, practical strategy, and bold authenticity, Niels brings catalytic energy and deep insight to every conversation.

Today Cem Karsan and Niels Kaastrup-Larsen examine a market environment where politics, geopolitics and liquidity are becoming harder to separate. Cem argues that recent market strength is not just a reaction to better news, but part of a broader effort to manage risk, support collateral values and prepare for deeper geopolitical stress. From rising military spending and the Strait of Hormuz to treasury demand, QIS growth, AI and the next inflation wave, this conversation is about what happens when markets stop being passive observers and become tools in a larger strategic contest.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Cem on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps: 00:00:01 - Introduction to Top Traders Unplugged00:00:35 - Niels and Cem reconnect and set the stage00:01:51 - Truth, narratives and the blurring of reality00:04:15 - Fed independence, politics and credibility00:07:45 - The rise of QIS and demand for alternative strategies00:12:52 - Trend following update and current market performance00:15:23 - Framing the disconnect between markets and reality00:20:09 - Liquidity, market rallies and strategic positioning00:25:08 - Are markets being actively managed00:34:51 - The real geopolitical battle and the role of China00:40:32 - What investors may be underpricing00:52:55 - Why markets can rise despite growing risks00:55:56 - Treasury demand, intervention and future policy paths00:58:04 - Inflation, debt monetization and long term outlook01:02:16 - AI, deflation and the political responseCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

Markets are currently being shaped by geopolitical uncertainty, rapid technological change, and shifting investor behavior. In this episode, Andrew and Niels explore how these forces are influencing trend following and systematic investing. They discuss recent market volatility, the impact of global conflict on asset prices, and why traditional diversification assumptions are being tested. A key focus is the evolving structure of the CTA industry, including the rise of ETFs and the debate between complexity and simplicity in generating alpha. The conversation also examines replication strategies, implementation costs, and whether simpler approaches may deliver more efficient and consistent outcomes over time.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Andrew on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps: 01:27 - Geopolitical uncertainty and parallels to past crises03:13 - Why this crisis feels different from previous ones04:24 - Ideology, negotiation, and unintended consequences06:16 - AI, technology, and the changing global landscape10:58 - Technology dependence and societal tradeoffs12:37 - Market environment and trend following conditions16:02 - CTA performance and the macro “do over” of 202621:11 - Traditional markets vs systematic strategies22:39 - Hedge fund losses and dispersion across strategies25:48 - CTA alpha, simplicity, and ETF performance32:42 - Complexity vs efficiency in portfolio construction39:40 - Hidden implementation costs in systematic trading52:21 - QIS strategies and the illusion of beta57:43 - Structural challenges in QIS products01:03:12 - Index construction, research, and innovation constraints01:08:47 - Fees, transparency, and real investor costs01:12:41 - Product evolution and the future of systematic investingCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

Markets often appear logical in hindsight, yet behave unpredictably in real time. In this episode, Niels and Yoav explore how recent events, from geopolitical shocks to shifting narratives, reveal the limits of traditional explanations. They discuss why assets like gold and bonds no longer react as expected, how flows and positioning can dominate price action, and why dispersion across managers increases during periods of stress. The conversation also examines the role of machine learning, the impact of volatility on execution, and the challenges of managing risk in fast moving markets. At its core, this is about navigating uncertainty when structure and narrative begin to diverge.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Yoav on LinkedIn.Episode TimeStamps:00:00 - Introduction to the series01:19 - What is on the radar: markets and recent developments01:19 - The EM algorithm and its relevance to machine learning04:12 - Election narratives and unpredictability in real world outcomes06:51 - Gold, war, and why markets react unexpectedly09:07 - Inflation narrative vs risk off reality14:13 - Bond equity correlation breaking down17:29 - Fixed income volatility and regime uncertainty24:58 - Oil curve dynamics and supply constraints27:39 - Risk management differences between discretionary and systematic37:23 - Market flows, positioning, and forced liquidations41:30 - Excess volatility and what really drives markets49:36 - Trend vs value vs noise traders explained56:34 - Diversification, capacity, and portfolio constructionCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.
