The Silent Spread of PFAS Through Maintenance Practices – Part 1

Host Paul K. Boyce, PE, PG, President and CEO of P.W. Grosser, speaks with Chris Wenczel, PG, Senior Project Manager, about the long history and quiet spread of forever chemicals, per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), across modern products and infrastructure. In Episode 73 Part 1, they trace how firefighting foams, floor finishes, and cleaning practices helped move PFAS from industrial sites into everyday settings. The discussion highlights early gaps in health research, including the reality that serious study did not begin until roughly 2015, and contrasts the current federal drinking water level of 4 parts per trillion with wastewater concentrations reported as high as 229,000 parts per trillion. As Chris notes, “we do not find out that something is harmful until we are down the road and it is already in the environment,” a pattern that shapes how regulators and communities now respond.

Over the last decade, I've watched private equity surge into the machining world — and I've seen firsthand how often the short-term flip-in-five-years strategy ends up hurting shops, people, customers, and entire supply chains. While the capital can help, the incentives often drive decisions that weaken the very businesses PE firms acquire. But every now and then, someone comes along with a model that stops you in your tracks because it actually makes sense for our industry. That someone is Mark Hillenburg, co-founder of Collective Manufacturing Group, a company built on a radically different vision: buy great machine shops and hold them forever. No flipping. No short-term targets. No cultural upheaval. Just long-term stewardship, disciplined investment, and a deep respect for the people who built these businesses in the first place. In this conversation, Mark and I dig into his incredible journey — starting a tiny shop with his father in a 700-square-foot garage, learning machining the hard way, living through major turnarounds, scaling multi-site aerospace manufacturing, and ultimately becoming disillusioned with traditional PE models. His experiences shaped a philosophy that aligns closely with the heart of American manufacturing: protect the legacy, empower the people, and build a business that lasts. We also talk about how his team is already reviving shuttered shops, empowering internal leaders, gaining trust from OEMs, and receiving deal flow from customers who don't want their critical suppliers bought by traditional PE firms. If you care about the long-term health of the machining ecosystem, you'll want to hear this one. Mark's approach gives me real hope for where this industry can go. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...

How to 4X your Revenue in 4 Years with Alexis Sikorsky   Most business owners dream about growth, but few know how to scale without chaos. In this episode of Profit Answer Man, Rocky Lalvani talks with Alexis Sikorsky, a strategic advisor who helps founders scale fast and exit strong. Alexis doesn't speak from theory—he built and sold his own Switzerland-based software company, New Access, in a $100M+ private equity deal.   He learned firsthand what it takes to go from exhaustion to exponential growth—and how the right strategy, mindset, and systems can help you 4X your revenue in just four years.   Key Lessons from the Conversation:  Buy, Don't Just Build: Most founders try to grow by grinding harder. Alexis shows why M&A can be a faster, smarter route when done strategically—with the right due diligence and cultural alignment. Don't Confuse Urgent with Important: Entrepreneurs often get stuck fighting fires instead of building vision. The CEO's real job is direction and value creation—not firefighting. Know What You Don't Know: Private equity buyers make money because they see what founders can't. Your blind spots could be worth millions, so get help from people who've done it before. Fire Yourself from the Day-to-Day: If your business can't run without you, it's not scalable—or sellable. Alexis teaches founders to identify the tasks only they can do and delegate the rest. Build a War Chest: Business cycles are inevitable. You need 9–12 months of cash reserves to weather storms and seize opportunities instead of scrambling to survive.   Key Takeaway: What you don't know about your business could be costing you millions. Clarity, cash reserves, and courage to think bigger are what separate sustainable success from burnout.   About Alexis Sikorsky: Alexis Sikorsky is a strategic advisor to founders who are serious about scaling fast and exiting strong. With a nine-figure private equity exit under his belt, Alexis isn't speaking from theory—he's lived the entrepreneurial highs and lows across decades of company building, boardroom negotiation, and international leadership. His flagship book Cashing Out lays out the APEX methodology, a four-part framework (Assess, Plan, Execute, Exit) that demystifies the journey to private equity for founders feeling stuck or overwhelmed by growth and decision fatigue.   Alexis founded, scaled, and sold New Access, a Switzerland-based software company, ultimately closing a $100M+ exit and transitioning into a new chapter as a Special Advisor to ambitious CEOs. Today, through Sikorsky Consulting and KnightScale Partners, he works with growth-stage businesses, typically doing $5M+ in annual revenue, who want to engineer their next chapter or PE exit.   Links: Website: https://www.asikorsky.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexis-sikorsky-consulting/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexissikorsky/   Conclusion: Growth without strategy is just motion. As Alexis shared, success comes when you think like an investor—anticipate risk, build systems, and plan your exit long before you need it.   So, how many seven-figure mistakes are you willing to make? Even six-figure owners can make million-dollar errors without financial clarity. That's why Profit Answer Man exists—to help you keep more of what you earn and build a business that truly serves your life.   #ProfitAnswerMan #BusinessGrowth #PrivateEquity #ScaleYourBusiness #EntrepreneurMindset #MergersAndAcquisitions #CashFlow #ProfitFirst #FinancialFreedom #BusinessStrategy #Leadership   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

In this episode, we're joined by Jeppe Schytte-Hansen, CEO and Co-founder of Omnidocs, a SaaS company that's moving fast: €22M+ in revenue, 1,500 customers, 155 employees, and four acquisitions in the last 18 months after bringing in private equity for the first time. Jeppe breaks down what it really takes to turn a steady, profitable SaaS into a buy-and-build platform, from product alignment and enablement to the emotional reality of killing someone's “version 2.0” and managing the slowdown that almost everyone underestimates. We spoke with Jeppe about choosing PE over VC, building a 14-point M&A framework, and why one plus one rarely equals two in the first year. He explains the “integration foxtrot” (quick–slow–quick–slow), how to preserve culture across six offices and four countries, and why Omnidocs is betting big on the shift from traditional documents to “fluid formats” in the coming years.  Here are some of the key questions we address: What is the 14-criteria M&A evaluation framework, and what are the two instant disqualifiers? Why does every buy-and-build strategy start with a slowdown, and how do you shorten it? What makes product alignment the hardest part of M&A, and how do you decide when to kill a nearly-finished product? How do you structure integration squads and seven integration tracks across acquired companies? What does it take to enable sales teams to manage multiple products without slowing down new logo acquisition? How do you avoid overestimating cross-sell potential, especially in the first 12–18 months? Which are key roles and people to drive a successful pre, during and post-acquisition process?

From there we wander into a modern folklore lesson on Jeep “ducking,” why tiny rubber ducks on dashboards are a rolling chain of goodwill, and a surprisingly competitive taste test pitting Trader Joe's PB&J pockets against the classic Uncrustables.Then we roll up our sleeves and get truly sudsy. Soap hasn't always been a given; it was once taxed as a luxury and arrived in our homes far later than most of us realize. We trace the arc from ancient fats-and-ash recipes and Roman oil scrapers to the rise of industrial soap, the late bloom of liquid hand soap in the 1970s, and the everyday culture wars of bar versus body wash. Along the way we dig into scents, skin sensitivity, antibacterial labels, and why foam pumps win with reluctant hand washers. We swap stories about public bathroom nostalgia, the pitfalls of using body wash as shampoo, and a little DIY curiosity—plus a reminder that the best hygiene habit is the one you'll actually keep.It's a cozy, curious tour of how small rituals shape home life: a bottle by the sink, a seasonal scent, a kid who defaults to sanitizer, a parent who says “soap and water.” We share practical tips, laugh at our own mishaps, and find meaning in the mundane.

Presa internațională continuă să comenteze situația de pe scena politică americană, după ce, vineri, Departamentul de Justiție a declarat că va îndeplini cererea președintelui Donald Trump de a investiga legăturile infractorului sexual  Jeffrey Epstein cu fostul președinte democrat Bill Clinton și cu compania JP Morgan. Totul, după ce o comisie a Congresului a publicat mii de documente care au ridicat noi semne de întrebare cu privire la relația lui Trump cu Epstein, observă comentatorii. „Departamentul de Justiție va investiga legăturile lui Epstein, dar nu cu Trump”, sintetizează The New York Times. „Când numeroase e-mailuri ale lui Jeffrey Epstein au fost publicate săptămâna aceasta, numele lui Donald J. Trump era peste tot. Totuși, vineri, când el a cerut ca Departamentul de Justiție să investigheze o listă de figuri influente menționate în aceste e-mailuri, propriul său nume a lipsit”. Ziarul remarcă și faptul că secretara pentru justiție, Pam Bondi s-a conformat solicitării, ”chiar dacă, cu doar patru luni mai devreme, același Departament de Justiție declarase oficial că nimic din dosarele Epstein nu justifica investigații suplimentare”. Potrivit Reuters, ”Trump încearcă să mute atenția de la relația sa cu infractorul sexual condamnat. Scandalul Epstein a fost un ghimpe politic în coasta lui Trump timp de luni de zile, parțial pentru că a amplificat teoriile conspirației despre Epstein în fața propriilor susținători. Aceasta este doar cea mai recentă dintr-o serie de solicitări ale lui Trump către organismele federale de a-i urmări pe presupușii săi dușmani politici”. Citeste si”E-mailurile Epstein” îl pun pe Donald Trump într-o situație dificilă The Washington Post relatează că „Trump a evidențiat trei persoane: Bill Clinton, fostul secretar al Trezoreriei Lawrence H. Summers, și Reid Hoffman, fondatorul LinkedIn și un donator important al Partidului Democrat. Toți au avut relații cu Epstein de ani de zile”, subliniază cotidianul american, citat ce Courrier International. National Review amintește că „În timpul președinției lui Clinton, Epstein a vizitat Casa Albă în mai multe rânduri, iar înregistrările de zbor arată că fostul președinte a călătorit cu avionul său privat de 26 de ori în timpul relației lor, care s-a încheiat în jurul anului 2003. (...) Numele lui Clinton a fost menționat și în procedurile judiciare anterioare dar nu au fost formulate acuzații credibile împotriva lui”, observă revista. ”Trump a sugerat în campania electorală de anul trecut că va încerca să deschidă dosarele Epstein”, amintește National Public Radio. ”Dar el a schimbat cursul în ultimele luni, dând vina pe democrați și prezentând problema drept o farsă”. Vorbind despre proiectul de lege privind declasificarea dosarului Epstein, care va fi supus la vot în această săptămână în Camera Reprezentanților, The Intercept afirmă că ”totul se va putea transforma într-o problemă structurală”:    ”Pe de o parte, Trump se confruntă cu un electorat care își dorește în mod covârșitor să fie publicate toate înregistrările și care crede deja că administrația ascunde ce e mai rău. Pe de altă parte, se confruntă cu un Congres care, pentru prima dată, se îndreaptă către o coaliție formată din democrați progresiști ​​și republicani libertarieni. Dacă proiectul de lege trece de Senat și Trump îl semnează, pierde complet controlul asupra documentelor - și a discursului”.

Polonia dorește să atragă cercetători străini

Un salariu pe patru ani plus fonduri pentru cercetare în valoare totală de 3 milioane de zloți (aproximativ 690.000 de euro) - așa speră Polonia să atragă cercetători de la cele mai bune universități din lume, relatează Gazeta Wyborcza. „Trebuie să ne deschidem larg fereastra științifică către lume”, subliniază ministrul științei, Marcin Kulasek. Acesta anunță lansarea programului „TOP200”, care își propune să atragă cercetători străini excepționali în Polonia. Obiectivul este ambițios. Polonia vizează persoane care lucrează sau au lucrat la universități clasate în top 200 în principalele trei clasamente globale: Shanghai, QS și Times Higher Education.  Astăzi, doar aproximativ 3% dintre cercetătorii din Polonia sunt cetățeni străini. Unul din cinci dintre ei provine din Ucraina. Guvernul polonez consideră că acum este unul dintre cele mai oportune momente din istorie pentru a încerca să atragă talente străine, în special pe cele care desfășoară cercetări în Statele Unite, având în vedere reducerile la finanțarea științei din timpul administrației președintelui Donald Trump. Programul oferă două direcții: una pentru cercetătorii consacrați cu cel puțin trei ani de experiență în conducerea echipelor de cercetare în străinătate, iar cealaltă pentru cercetătorii mai tineri, cu condiția să dețină doctoratul de cel puțin șapte ani. Contactul trebuie inițiat de o universitate sau un institut polonez. Cererea trebuie să includă nu numai CV-ul, ci și propunerea de cercetare. Apelul la candidaturi este acum deschis și se va încheia în februarie 2026. Pentru această ediție pilot a programului, bugetul este de 17 milioane de zloți, ceea ce ar fi suficient pentru 5 sau 6 cercetători. În Croația este solicitată interzicerea legală a comentariilor sub articole despre violența împotriva femeilor Senzaționalismul în reportajele din mass-media consolidează o cultură a tăcerii și descurajează femeile să raporteze violența; aceasta este concluzia unei mese rotunde a Comisiei parlamentare pentru egalitatea de gen din Zagreb, citată de site-ul de știri Index. Participanții la discuțiile în cadrul Comisiei, printre care mulți activiști pentru drepturile femeilor, au solicitat modificări legale și editoriale privind publicarea articolelor despre violența împotriva femeilor pe portalurile online și pe rețelele de socializare. Statisticile arată că în ultimii zece ani 165 de femei au fost ucise în Croația, iar 43,6% dintre aceste crime au fost comise de partenerii lor. Linia telefonică specială pentru violența domestică primește în medie zece apeluri de la femei în fiecare zi, totalizând peste 2.000 de apeluri pe an. „Trebuie să evităm senzaționalismul, trivializarea și romantizarea violenței”, a declarat Nataša Vajagić de la Centrul pentru Inițiative Civice din Poreč. Ca exemplu, ea a citat cazuri în care infracțiunea este descrisă drept „dragoste nefericită”. Recomandarea este de a modifica legea în sensul interzicerii comentariilor sub articole pe această temă pentru a preveni victimizarea secundară și discursul instigator la ură. Amendamentul ar trebui să impună, de asemenea, publicarea informațiilor de contact ale organizațiilor de sprijin sub fiecare articol pe această temă. De asemenea, se propune consolidarea modelelor de finanțare publică prin reînnoirea modelului de „media non-profit”, care a fost abolit în 2016, pentru a încuraja și mai mult independența editorială față de presiunile pieței.  Pe lângă modificările legislative, a fost subliniată și importanța politicilor editoriale: aplicarea consecventă a codurilor etice, selecția riguroasă a interlocutorilor și surselor și evitarea titlurilor și detaliilor care nu sunt de interes public. Îngrijorare față de numărul mare de accidente feroviare în Slovacia Transportul feroviar, utilizat zilnic de sute de mii de oameni în Slovacia, a fost zdruncinat din temelii, relatează săptămânalul Tyzden. Slovacia nu a mai experimentat niciodată două incidente atât de grave în mai puțin de o lună: primul pe 13 octombrie, cu 69 de răniți, și al doilea pe 9 noiembrie, cu 79 de răniți. Partidul de opoziție, Democrații, afirmă că guvernul nu a făcut suficient pentru a investiga primul incident și, prin urmare, nu a reușit să-l prevină pe al doilea, care a fost similar în multe privințe. Democrații solicită ministrului Transporturilor, Jozef Ráža, să prezinte imediat măsuri pentru consolidarea siguranței feroviare. Experții spun ca furtul de cale ferată și sistemele de securitate învechite se află în spatele creșterii recente a accidentelor feroviare. Democrații propun comunicarea radio la nivel național, adică stații walkie-talkie în fiecare tren pentru a permite comunicarea între centrul de control și mecanic. De asemenea, este necesară dotarea tuturor trenurilor cu ETCS (Sistemul European de Control al Trenurilor), care împiedică mecanicul să depășească limita de viteză, să treacă de un semafor roșu și să intre pe o linie ocupată. Partidul consideră, de asemenea, că este necesar să se abordeze problema calificărilor și a remunerației mecanicilor de locomotivă.

Partner et co-head du Private Equity France chez 3i, Pax Botuha a déjà vécu plusieurs vies en finance : M&A chez Edmond de Rothschild, conseil en stratégie au BCG, puis private equity chez L-GAM et L Catterton avant de rejoindre 3i à Paris, où il pilote aujourd'hui les investissements Consumer et co-dirige l'équipe française. Dans cet épisode, Pax revient sur ce qui, selon lui, constitue un bon parcours pour entrer en private equity : commencer par se forger un hardware comptable en audit, se frotter à la transaction en M&A, puis apprendre à raisonner en hypothèses et à travailler avec les dirigeants en conseil en stratégie. Lui-même est arrivé "tard" dans le métier, après sept à huit ans d'expérience, et recommande plutôt de viser 2 à 4 ans hors PE, pas avant, pas après, pour maximiser l'apprentissage et la courbe de progression une fois en fonds. Il nous ouvre ensuite les coulisses de 3i et de son modèle de capital permanent : 35 milliards d'euros sous gestion, investis depuis le propre bilan du groupe, avec une forte appétence pour le consumer. Cela change tout : plus de flexibilité pour réinvestir dans les sociétés du portefeuille, racheter des minoritaires au sein de familles cédantes, ou accompagner plus longtemps les actifs qui performent. Pax insiste aussi sur la culture “asset partnership” de 3i : pas d'équipe dédiée portefeuille, ce sont les mêmes investisseurs qui sourcent, exécutent et accompagnent les sociétés au quotidien, avec un équilibre assumé entre travail d'investissement et travail opérationnel. Au fil de la conversation, on explore la consolidation du marché du private equity, la polarisation entre très grandes plateformes et fonds plus spécialisés, la réalité derrière la fameuse statistique des “fonds de PE plus nombreux que les McDonald's aux États-Unis”. On parle aussi de la place du consumer dans les portefeuilles, des débats sur le risque du secteur, et des thématiques d'investissement qui restent attractives malgré un contexte macro et politique chahuté. Enfin, Pax partage une vision très concrète du leadership en private equity : savoir être décisif sans “brûler” ses équipes, choisir ses combats, et construire un alignement solide avec les dirigeants et les familles autour d'un projet commun. Côté recrutement, il cherche avant tout des profils curieux, capables de se dépasser et de prendre de plus en plus de responsabilités en partant des tâches les plus simples — avec, à la clé, un vrai “sky is the limit” pour ceux qui jouent le jeu. Son dernier message s'adresse aux étudiants et jeunes pros : ne pas prendre de décisions de carrière sur un coup d'impulsion, accepter de travailler très dur quelques années pour se former, et garder en tête que le private equity reste, à ses yeux, “un métier absolument fantastique et extrêmement complet.” Merci Pax, Voix de la FinanceHébergé par Ausha.

This episode is for entrepreneurs, small businesses, solopreneurs, creators, and consultants who feel overwhelmed by AI and don't know where to start. You'll learn how a completely non-technical founder used Generative AI to transform two businesses, pivot her career, and build AI-driven systems without writing a single line of code. In this episode of Open Tech Talks, host Kashif Manzoor speaks with UK-based entrepreneur Marnie Wills, whose journey with Generative AI began unexpectedly while franchising her children's PE business. A copywriting challenge introduced her to Jasper AI, and that single moment reshaped everything. Within two years, she used AI tools to fix messaging issues, transform her franchise model, exit her online fitness business, and finally launch her consulting practice. Marnie breaks down how she built her AI-first operating system using ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Abacus AI, and NotebookLM. She explains why customizing your AI, training it on domain knowledge, and owning your data matters for the coming wave of agentic AI. She shares a powerful real example: building a full CRM + GPT workflow for a keynote speaker in 90 minutes using no-code tools. The system identifies events, drafts applications, and enables a VA to manage the entire pipeline, an example of how AI amplifies human roles rather than replacing them. The conversation also explores ethics, the myth of privacy, overwhelm in SMEs, and the misconception that AI = automation. Her philosophy is simple: AI should amplify humans first. Automation comes last. By the end, you'll understand why courses are no longer the main path, how "10,000 hours" has become "10,000 prompts," and why your next breakthrough may come simply from talking to an AI daily.

Finanțarea agriculturii europene, sub lupă la Bruxelles

Comisarul european pentru agricultură, Christophe Hansen, a avut, săptămâna trecută, un schimb de opinii cu membrii Comisiei Agri a Parlamentului European, axat pe teme precum finanțarea agriculturii, strategia privind reînnoirea generațională și simplificarea politicii agricole comune în actualul exercițiu financiar. Europarlamentarii vor să se asigure că agricultura europeană va fi adecvat finanțată prin bugetul PAC după 2027 și că sunt create condiții suficiente pentru atragerea tinerilor în sector. Hansen a spus, în timpul dezbaterii, că așteptările și solicitările Parlamentului European sunt ascultate cu atenție de Comisia Europeană. „Noi luăm părerea dumneavoastră în serios”, a spus el. De asemenea, a asigurat că poziția fermierilor și îngrijorările exprimate de aceștia în timpul vizitelor de lucru, efectuate în statele membre pe parcursul anului, contează în acțiunile Executivului european. Până în prezent, Hansen a vizitat ferme din 25 de state membre și a purtat discuții cu reprezentanții agricultorilor locali, iar până la sfârșitul lunii în curs își propune să ajungă în Ungaria și Slovacia și să finalizeze, astfel, periplul european promis la începutul mandatului. Reforma propusă de Comisia Europeană pentru politica agricolă după 2027 este în dezacord cu majoritatea legiuitorilor de la Bruxelles. Ei se tem că unirea bugetului regional cu cel agricol într-un singur fond gestionat de guvernele naționale va vicia piața unică, dând o lovitură concurenței loiale, și amenință că, dacă acest plan nu se va modifica, vor bloca următorul buget al UE. Întâlnirea programată pentru luni, 10 noiembrie, între președinta Comisiei, Ursula von der Leyen, președinta Parlamentului European, Roberta Metsola, și președintele Consiliului Uniunii Europene, premierul danez Mette Frederiksen, este privită de presa europeană ca o încercare de detensionare a relațiilor interinstituționale și sunt așteptate concesii din partea Executivului european.   Şapte state UE vor extinderea tarifelor pentru produsele ruseşti. Îngrăşămintele sunt vizate Șapte state din nordul și estul Uniunii Europene, printre care și Germania, cer extinderea tarifelor suplimentare pentru mai multe produse rusești, inclusiv îngrășămintele pe bază de potasiu, și recomandă Comisiei Europene să vină cu o propunere în acest sens. Apelul lansat în 4 noiembrie este susținut de Estonia, Finlanda, Germania, Letonia, Lituania, Polonia și Suedia, potrivit publicației Politico. Ambasadorii țărilor membre la Uniunea Europeană au analizat scrisoarea săptămâna trecută și intenționează să prezinte subiectul miniștrilor comerțului la următoarea lor reuniune din 24 noiembrie. Dacă inițiativa câștigă un sprijin mai larg până atunci, scrie Politico, este posibil să fie discutată și cu secretarul american al comerțului, Howard Lutnick, care a fost invitat la reuniunea de la Bruxelles. Subiectul rămâne însă controversat în Uniune, din cauza intereselor economice diferite. Mai multe țări vor să păstreze accesul la materii prime ieftine pentru industriile lor, cum ar fi fierul și oțelul, produse vizate în apelul celor șapte state; altele susțin că astfel de măsuri se încadrează în politica de sancțiuni. Reamintim că Bruxelles-ul a impus de anul trecut tarife vamale suplimentare pentru exporturile rusești de cereale și din iulie anul curent pentru îngrășămintele pe bază de azot.   Președintele Franței susţine UE-Mercosur, fermierii reacţionează Deschiderea președintelui Franței, Emmanuel Macron, față de acordul UE-Mercosur stârnește indignare în Hexagon, notează euractiv.com. În urma unei întâlniri de săptămâna trecută între președintele francez și omologul său brazilian, Macron a sugerat că Franța ar putea sprijini acordul, cu condiția ca țările blocului sud-american să accepte garanțiile propuse de Uniunea Europeană, iar după discuțiile la care a participat și președinta Comisiei Europene s-a declarat „destul de optimist” cu privire la rezultatul negocierilor. Schimbarea de opinie a lui Emmanuel Macron a declanșat un val de nemulțumiri în mediul agricol francez, dar și printre politicieni, care l-au acuzat fie de „trădare”, fie de „capitulare” în fața Bruxelles-ului. Chiar ministrul francez al agriculturii, Annie Genevard, a reacționat, subliniind că standardele de producție egale rămân o linie roșie și că deși au existat progrese, acestea nu sunt suficiente. Potrivit sursei citate, opoziția din Franța nu va avea însă un impact semnificativ asupra ratificării acordului. Pe fondul tensiunilor globale în creștere, Comisia Europeană și-a propus să diversifice comerțul Uniunii Europene și speră ca acordul cu statele sud-americane să se finalizeze în decembrie, când este programată și ratificarea de către statele membre.   Valoarea producţiei agricole scade pentru al doilea an consecutiv în UE Valoarea producției agricole din Uniunea Europeană s-a redus în 2024 cu 0,9%, față de 2023, până la 532 de miliarde de euro, pe fondul unei ușoare creșteri a volumului producției și al scăderii prețurilor pentru bunuri și servicii agricole. 2024 a fost al doilea an consecutiv de scădere, după vârful din 2022, a anunțat biroul european de statistică vineri, 7 noiembrie. Jumătate din valoarea producției agricole europene a provenit din culturi, puțin peste două cincimi au provenit din sectorul zootehnic și al produselor de origine animală, iar restul a reprezentat aportul serviciilor agricole și activităților secundare. Din cele 27 de state membre, 15 au înregistrat valori mai mari. Rate de creștere ridicate au fost în Irlanda (+8,9%), Croația (+8,8%) și Suedia (+5%), în timp ce scăderi pronunțate s-au consemnat în Franța (-9%), România (-8,5%) și Bulgaria (-8%), menționează Eurostat.

Over the last several years, private equity has continued its rapid expansion, reshaping the landscape of business ownership and investment. What was once limited to a small circle of institutional investors now reaches into 401k portfolios, making PE an increasingly dominant force in our economy. While this growth has fueled opportunity for many, it also poses new challenges for Evergreen® companies whose long-term, purpose-driven approach stands in sharp contrast to private equity's short-term return model. Dave Whorton, Founder and CEO of Tugboat Institute®, revisits his 2019 talk, "The Rise of Private Equity," to explore how the private equity landscape has evolved and what its growing influence means for Evergreen leaders today. He reaffirms that private equity remains kryptonite to Evergreen businesses yet highlights examples of Tugboat Institute member companies that have found unconventional ways to engage with private equity and strategic capital while staying true to their Evergreen values. Listen and gain perspective on how to navigate the shifting capital landscape without compromising the purpose and principles that define Evergreen companies.

Our ligaments, tendons, and overall musculoskeletal system can take a real hit during the menopause transition, making injuries more frequent and recovery slower. Too often, practitioners still overlook common issues like tendinopathies—leaving women to live with unnecessary pain before getting an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan sits down with Valerie Jackson — Harvard College and Georgetown Law alum, former securities lawyer turned C-suite people leader — to explore what it really takes to scale companies without breaking leaders or culture. Valerie traces her journey from advising public companies and serving at the U.S. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board to building one of the first law-firm diversity departments and leading people operations across VC-backed rockets, public SaaS, and PE-owned businesses. Together they unpack human-centered leadership, the mechanics of burnout (as recognized by the WHO), and why self-work is often the hardest part of scaling. Valerie shares practical tools — from 360s, “powerful partnerships,” and time audits to managing brain chemistry — and makes a compelling case that AI should elevate people, not erase them, because nothing can replace a leader's “energetic signature.” The conversation closes with hard-won lessons on IPO vs. going private, PE vs. VC risk appetites, and Valerie's mantra: “Know your ripple.”TakeawaysGreat leadership starts with self-awareness. Learn yourself to lead others.Build “powerful partnerships”: pair visionary thinkers with linear operators.Align culture: what we say (cognitive) with how we behave (emotional).Use 360 feedback to surface blind spots with curiosity and humility.Burnout = exhaustion + inefficacy + cynicism. Address all three to recover.Run time audits to find your “golden ratio” of energizing vs draining work.Support brain chemistry intentionally: dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, endorphins.Keep AI human-centric. Technology should amplify people, not replace them.Design for tool obsolescence and misuse while protecting the humans.IPOs bring capital and scrutiny; going private can restore flexibility.PE and VC differ on time horizons, risk, and control expectations.Leader's billboard: “Know your ripple.” Be intentional about your impact.Chapters00:00 Intro and why human-centered leadership matters01:28 Meet Valerie Jackson: law to people leadership across stages03:25 Early diversity work and career inflection points05:10 Patterns across org models: partnership, VC, public, PE06:59 Visionary vs linear strengths and “powerful partnerships”08:51 Self-work as a prerequisite to leading others12:20 Culture alignment: words, behaviors, and trust17:29 Feedback that works: curiosity, humility, and 360s25:00 Burnout explained: exhaustion, inefficacy, cynicism32:31 Time audits and defining your “golden ratio”34:23 Brain chemistry levers for sustainable performance37:03 Delegate to elevate: designing roles around energy40:04 Keeping people at the center of AI43:11 The “energetic signature”: what AI cannot replace52:49 IPO tradeoffs and why some companies go private56:13 PE vs VC: incentives, timelines, and control1:03:09 Tools and books leaders actually use1:05:22 10X vs 2X: optimization vs transformation1:08:52 Billboard for leaders: “Know your ripple”1:11:19 Closing and take-home actionsValerie Jackson's Social Media Link:https://www.linkedin.com/in/vadjackson/Resources and Links:https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright
