Send us a textErste Erfahrungen mit den Panta Surge – Noch nicht final, aber beeindruckendIn dieser Episode teile ich meine ersten Eindrücke von den Panta Surge Strömungspumpen. Die Einstellungen sind zwar noch nicht final, aber die Veränderung in der Strömung meines Aquariums ist enorm. Zum ersten Mal bewegt sich die gesamte Wassermasse im Becken gleichmäßig – eine komplett neue Erfahrung im Vergleich zu meinen vorherigen Setups. Anfangs gab es einige Herausforderungen, vor allem in der Usability, aber nachdem ich mich durch die Einstellungen und einige unerwartete Hürden gekämpft habe, bin ich jetzt wirklich begeistert. Die Strömung ist nicht nur kraftvoll, sondern auch natürlicher, und meine Korallen zeigen eine deutlich bessere Polypen-Expansion.Auch wenn die Justierung der Panta Surge nicht ganz intuitiv ist und ich mir eine benutzerfreundlichere Lösung wünschen würde, überwiegt für mich das Ergebnis. Ich werde in den kommenden Wochen weiter an der Feinabstimmung arbeiten – eventuell mit Unterstützung von Panta Rhei selbst.Community-Fragen von InstagramIm zweiten Teil der Episode beantworte ich einige Fragen, die mich über Instagram erreicht haben. Besonders spannend fand ich die Frage, wie ich mir die Zukunft meines Aquariums vorstelle. Außerdem spreche ich über meine aktuelle Dosierung und die Herausforderungen, mein Nährstoffverhältnis stabil zu halten.

In dieser besonderen Episode nehme ich dich mit auf eine Reise durch mein vergangenes Jahr – ein Jahr, das so vieles war: intensiv, herausfordernd, wunderschön und voller leiser Wunder. Ich erzähle dir von Höhen und Tiefen, von Momenten des Loslassens und der Angst, von überraschenden Begegnungen und erfüllten Wünschen. Vom Gefühl der Freiheit auf vier Rädern, von einer Sommerromanze, die den Herbst und Winter überdauerte, und von einem Retreat, das ein lang gehegter Traum war. Es geht um die Kraft von Routine, die Magie des Dranbleibens, die Tiefe des Datings als Persönlichkeitsentwicklung und den Mut, loszulassen, wenn es nötig ist. Am Ende teile ich mit dir fünf Learnings, die ich aus diesem Jahr mitnehme – fünf Wahrheiten, die mich getragen haben und die vielleicht auch dir in deinen eigenen Herausforderungen helfen können. Panta Rhei. Alles fließt. Und ich lade dich ein, dich heute mit mir in diesen Fluss zu setzen.

Menneskets frygt og reaktion på forandringer er både filosofisk og ledelsesmæssigt interessant. Den græske filosof Heraclitus mente, at forandring er det eneste konstante i universet. Hans udsagn "Panta Rhei" (alt flyder) understreger, at forandring er en uundgåelig del af livet. Den præmis køber Livstykker ind på i denne episode.Den største forandring af dem alle er døden, der rammer ned i vores normalitet. Vi foretager livet igennem alskens krumspring for at undvige og udsætte den. Døden er Liselotte Horneman Kraghs spidskompetence med to udgivne bøger om emnet og en viden fra sin præstegerning om, at vi vesterlændinge slet ikke har den kontrol over tilværelsen, som vi går rundt og tror.Er der forskel på de forandringer, der pludselig rammer os som et rædselsvækkende lynnedslag, og de forandringer, der langsomt sniger sig ind på livet af os såsom rynker i huden og børn, der flytter hjemmefra? Lyt med. Livstykkers ide til forandrings-emnet har fået næring af denne TedTalk ved dødsdoula Alua Arthur og hendes bog: Briefly Perfectly Human - Envisioning a New Way of Living by Getting Real About the End Artikel i The Guardian: What does a death doula do? Alua Arthur on her ancient professionYderligere nævnes Liselottes to efterhånden gamle bøger (men døden bliver nok ikke foreløbigt uaktuel): Døden nær – en brugsbog i nærvær omkring døendeOg: Den fortrolige død: At besinde sig på sin dødelighed

It's the latter that we know him best for, having really enjoyed the 2019 debut album from the project, OneDark (read our review here). As good as that album was, Ben improved on what the project could deliver impressively with the album, ‘Panta Rhei', released in 2023. Benedict Harris-Hayes is a talented musician, a very creative individual, and it's his latest imaginative effort that got us talking.

Redeem your EUR 75 bonus at Splint Invest with code Dali24: https://splintinvest.onelink.me/ZGYb/swppod Timestamps: 3:50 - Deciding to acquire TwicPics 16:30 - The smallpdf fuckup 20:37 - Integrating two cultures 26:20 - When to start thinking about acquisitions 32:50 - Resorting to investment banks About Roger Dudler & Dennis Just: On August 29th the Swisspreneur community got together for the third edition of its annual Zurich Scaleup Cruise, sponsored by Swisscom Ventures, SIX, UBS, MLL and Emerald Ventures. With about 130 founders and investors, there were plenty of people to connect with on the Panta Rhei ship on that late August evening, while you enjoyed a flying dinner and the view of Lake Zurich. Many of the participants were veteran Swisspreneur cruisers: it was their 3rd time attending! The highlight of the evening was the panel discussion with Roger Dudler, co-founder and CEO at Frontify, and Dennis Just, partner at 3VC and former CEO at smallpdf, on buying or building to scale. Since there are as many founder journeys as there are founders, the audience wasn't surprised to hear that different things led Roger and Dennis to go forward with their respective acquisitions: for Frontify, acquiring TwicPics came as a natural result of their company growth, whereas for smallpdf the acquisition of PDFtools was the result of a neck-to-neck bidding war that they decided to engage in so as to stop their partner from being acquired by an American buyer who would raise PDFtool's pricing. Smallpdf acquired PDFtools in 2022 for 30M (which is 10M less than the seller would have gotten from the American bidder, and that certainly speaks in smallpdf's favor), half of which was paid in cash and half financed by a loan from Swiss banks — such are the benefits of being a bootstrapped, profitable company! Frontify, on the other hand, acquired Twicpics in 2023 for an undisclosed amount. With the deal closed, came the harder part: integration. Dennis quickly realized that smallpdf and PDFtools were not 100% aligned values-wise, since the acquirer's growth ambitions were much higher than the acquired's, so it was necessary to bring PDFtools “up to speed”. Eventually, Dennis and the smallpdf team decided to integrate the two companies regarding culture (same salaries, growth plans, etc) but not when it came to corporate structure, because PDFtool's customer base was rather enterprise-heavy, whereas smallpdf was more B2C-focused. Their branding and go-to-market strategy thus remained separate. Frontify is going through a similar process, even setting up a specific team to manage the integration, which meets weekly with management and follows a very clear plan. When answering questions from the audience, Dennis noted that companies smaller than 50-100 employees should not think about acquiring other businesses, since you need 3-4 people fully dedicated to the matter anyway, as well as the proper processes and structures set up. And although acquisition becomes a bit of an expectation for companies at a series C round level and beyond, Roger warned founders against taking up offers from the sellers who come knocking around this stage: it is much better to build your M&A muscle proactively and wait for the right time to seek out companies yourself. Even after the panel discussion finished and the attendants ate the last of their dessert, there were people who simply could not stop networking (can you blame them?), so the party continued on land at the Metropol. It was a fantastically successful evening overall and we can't wait for next year's edition!

Happy, holy & confident. Dein Podcast fürs Herz und den Verstand
Es gibt nichts Schöneres, als heute an meinem Geburtstag einen ganz besonderen Gast bei mir im Podcast zu haben: Meinen Papa! Denn er ist der Mensch, von dem ich so viel lernen durfte und den ich auch heute immer anrufe, wenn ich nicht weiter weiß. Er ist ein so intelligenter und weiser Mann, der unglaublich viele Bücher gelesen hat und immer wieder so faszinierende Perspektiven auf das Leben und die Welt hat. In diesem Interview sprechen wir über meine Kindheit, aber auch darüber, wie er die Welt sieht, welche Lebenskonzepte es gibt und was wichtig ist, um ein wirklich erfülltes und glückliches Leben zu führen. Wir sprechen auch darüber, was die Welt braucht und was wir tun können, um mit all den Herausforderungen umzugehen. Ich wünsche dir ganz viel Spaß mit dieser Folge.
