BIO: Pieter Slegers is the founder of Compounding Quality Newsletter. Pieter worked for three years as a Belgian asset manager before focusing full-time on his investment newsletter, Compounding Quality, in July 2022. Compounding Quality has over 1 million followers across social media and nearly 500,000 email subscribers. The goal of the newsletter is to help other investors by focusing on Quality Investing.STORY: At the age of 13, Peter convinced his parents to open a brokerage account. He picked the broker's newest “hottest pick” stock—an oil/gas transport company. He invested everything, thinking the people running the company knew what they were doing. Weeks later, the 2008 financial crisis hit. Peter sold his stock after a year, taking a 60% loss.LEARNING: Small losses are better than catastrophic ones. Knowledge is your only edge. “People who invest in individual stocks will make mistakes. There's no doubt about that, but it's way better to make a mistake with a few hundred dollars compared to $100,000.”Pieter Slegers Guest profilePieter Slegers is the founder of Compounding Quality Newsletter. Pieter studied Financial Management at the KULeuven and graduated summa cum laude. He worked for three years as a Belgian asset manager before focusing full-time on his investment newsletter, Compounding Quality, in July 2022. Compounding Quality has over 1 million followers across social media and nearly 500,000 email subscribers. The goal of the newsletter is to help other investors by focusing on Quality Investing.Worst investment everAt the age of 13, Peter earned his first paycheck by stocking shelves at a supermarket. Eager to grow his savings, he persuaded his parents to open a brokerage account (a feat for minors in Belgium).Despite his lack of investing knowledge, he diligently explored his broker's platform for ideas. A new stock caught his eye on the broker's “hot picks” list—an oil/gas transport company. He invested all his earnings, believing in the company's potential.Peter didn't conduct any research, despite his limited knowledge of oil and gas and his complete lack of investing experience. He simply trusted the “hot pick”.The crashWeeks later, the 2008 financial crisis hit. Peter sold his stock after a year, taking a 60% loss. His family was not impressed by his poor investment skills and told him that investing was akin to gambling, and he should consider working for the government instead.Pieter felt like such a failure. However, that $300 loss was his best investment. It hurt, but it taught him never to follow others blindly.Lessons learnedSmall losses are better than catastrophic ones. Losing $300 at the age of 13 beats losing $300,000 when you're 40. Early pain builds immunity to big mistakes.Knowledge is your only edge: If you don't understand how a company makes money, you're gambling, not investing.Failure fuels obsession. That loss made Pieter devour investing books, 10-Ks, and financial news. Pain became his mentor.Andrew's takeawaysAllow young investors to make mistakes with small sums (e.g., companies they understand, such as Netflix or Coca-Cola).Humility beats hubris. 90% of professional investors at Goldman Sachs underperform. What makes you different? It's your checklists, not confidence.Read biographies, study market history, and connect patterns. Wisdom compounds like interest.Actionable...

In De Perstribune ontvangt presentator Pieter van der Wielen deze week operazangeres Francis van Broekhuizen en journalist Frits Barend. Francis van Broekhuizen ging ooit zingen vanwege Maria Callas, Christina Deutekom en Barbra Streisand. Ze zong en speelde vele operarollen – van Puccini tot Janacek. Het grote publiek leerde haar kennen door haar fijne verschijning op tv. Zo baarde ze opzien in De Slimste Mens, we zagen haar als drag in Make up your mind en kraakte ze de Code van Coppens. Gisteren was ze nog op de Pride in Amsterdam en vanaf vanavond is ze te zien als jurylid in het nieuwe MAX-programma Het MAX Orkest. Al sinds eind jaren zestig is Frits Barend actief als journalist en sportjournalist in Nederland. Samen met Henk van Dorp maakte hij de sportjournalistiek wat minder braaf, bijvoorbeeld met toonaangevende interviews in Vrij Nederland en het radioprogramma Tussen Barend en Van Dorp. Later schudde hij de talkshowwereld op met het toonzettende Barend & Van Dorp en Villa BVD. En gaf hij de bladenmarkt een impuls met zijn sporttijdschrift Helden. Tegenwoordig zit Barend nog steeds aan de talkshowtafels, maar dan vooral als duider van al het nieuws – van de nieuwe nummer tien van Ajax tot de Franse erkenning van de Palestijnse staat – Barend draait zijn hand er niet voor om.

Special: watermeloen en dan met een hartige bereiding. Wat is het, hoe maak je het, waar komt het vandaan?Host Petra Possel bespreekt met Keukenprins Pieter een gerecht. Nou ja gerecht: zie het als een component bij een koud voorgerecht of als onderdeel bij een hoofdgerecht. Vandaag: steak van watermeloen. Zeker niet alleen voor vegetariërs!Flinke plakken watermeloen worden op lage temperatuur gedroogd in een voedseldroger of droogoventje (dat is niet hetzelfde als een airfryer). Zo'n flinke schoenendoos is niet al te kostbaar en ook geschikt voor het conserveren van groenten, fruit, vlees en paddenstoelen. In deze bereiding langdurig gedroogd, denk aan 8 tot 10 uur en extra op smaak gebracht. Om de 90 minuten draai je de plakken meloen even om en smeer je ze opnieuw lichtjes in. Kwestie van een kookwekker of een alarm op je telefoon zetten. De Keukenprins zag en proefde dit voor het eerst bij Caribbean Chef Helmi Smeulders. Twee varianten vandaag: licht spicy met een Caribbean touch en op de wijze van een gegrilde steak met gefermenteerde knoflook, tijm, zout, peper en olijfolie.En we noemen hem: Joep!Het recept voor deze steak van watermeloen staat ook nu op onze website. Een beetje gekkigheid maar de wat behoudende Keukenprins is nogal enthousiast over het resultaat.En voor Petra Possel mag een spiesje van blokjes watermeloen met feta en verse munt ook nog steeds.Wil je Culinaire Vriend worden?

De machtsbalans in de wereld is aan het verschuiven, en dat maakt Nederland ontzettend kwetsbaar. Volgens Pieter-Jaap Aalbersberg, sinds 2019 Nationaal Coördinator Terrorismebestrijding en Veiligheid, is het dan ook geen kwestie óf we te maken krijgen met maatschappij-ontwrichtende situaties, maar wanneer. Op 1 september neemt hij afscheid van zijn functie en gaat hij met pensioen. Een goed moment dus om de balans op te maken. Wat zijn de dreigingen voor het Nederland van nu? Hoe maken we ons land weerbaar? En welke rol kan religie daarin spelen? De NCTV maakt zich zorgen over de radicalisering van met name jonge mannen. Welk krachtig verhaal zet je tegenover het jihadistische, extreemrechtse en zelfs occulte radicale gedachtegoed? Hierover gaat David Boogerd in gesprek met Pieter Jaap Aalbersberg én met ‘huis-historicus' van De Ongelooflijke Podcast Beatrice de Graaf. Zij is hoogleraar aan de Universiteit Utrecht en vervangt vaste gast Stefan Paas, die op vakantie is.

Transcript:Nl: Het was een heldere zomerdag op het centraal station.En: It was a clear summer day at the centraal station.Nl: Mensen haastten zich over de perrons.En: People hurried across the platforms.Nl: De geur van vers gezette koffie vermengde zich met het typische geluid van omroepberichten.En: The smell of freshly brewed coffee mixed with the typical sound of announcements.Nl: Overal hingen kleurrijke reclameborden.En: Colorful billboards hung everywhere.Nl: Temidden van deze drukte stonden Bram, Sanne en Pieter.En: Amidst this hustle and bustle stood Bram, Sanne, and Pieter.Nl: Ze hadden net hun tickets gekocht voor een trein naar een kunstexpositie.En: They had just bought their tickets for a train to an art exhibition.Nl: Bram had last van zijn gebruikelijke probleem: te laat zijn.En: Bram had his usual problem: being late.Nl: "We moeten ons haasten," zei Sanne terwijl ze snel op haar horloge keek.En: "We need to hurry," said Sanne as she quickly looked at her watch.Nl: Ze hield ervan om altijd op tijd te zijn en de planning te volgen.En: She loved to always be on time and follow the schedule.Nl: Pieter stond naast hen, zelfverzekerd met een toeristenkaart in zijn hand.En: Pieter stood next to them, confidently holding a tourist map in his hand.Nl: "Maak je geen zorgen," zei hij.En: "Don't worry," he said.Nl: "Ik weet precies waar we heen moeten."En: "I know exactly where we need to go."Nl: Wat Pieter niet wist, was dat Bram de dag ervoor, tijdens een moment van verveling, de kaart had gepakt.En: What Pieter didn't know was that Bram, during a moment of boredom the day before, had taken the map.Nl: Hij had eraan getekend – grappige krabbels, kleine kunstwerkjes in de marge en hier en daar een extra lijntje.En: He had drawn on it—funny doodles, small artworks in the margins, and here and there an extra line.Nl: De kaart had een nieuw leven gekregen, maar de plattegrond was minder bruikbaar geworden.En: The map had gotten a new lease on life, but the layout had become less useful.Nl: "Bram, is dit wel de juiste kaart?"En: "Bram, is this the right map?"Nl: vroeg Sanne met een frons.En: asked Sanne with a frown.Nl: Bram haalde zijn schouders op en zweeg, nog steeds gefascineerd door zijn eigen tekenwerk.En: Bram shrugged his shoulders and remained silent, still fascinated by his own drawings.Nl: Pieter grijnsde en zei: "We vertrouwen gewoon op mijn navigatiekunsten."En: Pieter grinned and said, "We'll just rely on my navigation skills."Nl: Ze begonnen te lopen.En: They started to walk.Nl: De zon scheen fel door de glazen dakconstructie en de perrons waren druk.En: The sun shone brightly through the glass roof construction, and the platforms were busy.Nl: Mensen kwamen hen voorbij, allemaal gericht op hun eigen bestemming.En: People passed by them, all focused on their own destination.Nl: Sanne keek af en toe nerveus om zich heen, terwijl Bram nonchalant achteraan liep.En: Sanne occasionally looked around nervously, while Bram walked nonchalantly at the back.Nl: Tot hun verbazing kwamen ze bij een platform waar niemand anders stond.En: To their surprise, they arrived at a platform where no one else was standing.Nl: Pieter stopte abrupt.En: Pieter stopped abruptly.Nl: "Dit is het toch?"En: "Isn't this it?"Nl: vroeg Bram.En: asked Bram.Nl: Sanne keek om zich heen en begon te twijfelen.En: Sanne looked around and began to doubt.Nl: "Dit klopt niet.En: "This doesn't seem right.Nl: Het is veel te stil hier," mompelde ze.En: It's way too quiet here," she murmured.Nl: Pieter draaide de kaart een paar

14 juli 1789. Het volk in Parijs kwam in opstand en de Bastille viel. Na rebellie in Amerika kwam de revolte in Frankrijk. In de Republiek jubelden velen en bovenal de Leidse lakenfabrikant Pieter Vreede. Hij snakte naar radicale democratie en speelde een sleutelrol bij de val van Oranje-stadhouder Willem V. Pieter Vreede (1750-1837) was lang geheel vergeten. Zijn periode werd weggezet als 'de Franse tijd', een soort anti-nationale bezetting en overheersing vanuit Parijs. Maar een indrukwekkende biografie door Dirk Alkemade zorgt voor een heel nieuwe, gedurfde en uitdagende blik op die tijd met zijn politieke revoluties, hun inspiratiebronnen en de dichter, zakenman en oproerkraaier Pieter Vreede. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger duiken met de jonge doctor in de turbulente jaren rond 1800. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier *** De troebelen toen waren deel van omwentelingen wereldwijd. Patriotten als Vreede waren net zo vurig voor verandering als Thomas Jefferson en Benjamin Franklin in Amerika, Lafayette en Condorcet in Parijs, de jonge filosofen en dichters in Jena en Weimar en Beethoven in de muziek. Alkemade schetst de intensieve verbindingen tussen deze vernieuwingsbewegingen en hoe men succesmodellen uit elkaars revoltes overnam. In de Republiek begon de politieke crisis door een hopeloze oorlog van stadhouder Willem V tegen de Britten. Die was rampzalig voor handel, vloot en leger. In de steden broeide het verzet, mensen als Vreede gingen zich politiek én militair organiseren. In 1787 lieten de Oranjes hun zwager uit Berlijn met zijn machtig leger ingrijpen. Een hardhandige interventie van buiten. Die brute repressie was voor de rebelse geesten een beslissend moment. Toen de Franse revolutie uitbarstte en radicaliseerde waren de dagen van Willem V geteld. Met Franse steun grepen zij de macht en installeerden een heel nieuw bewind. Vreede ging dit allemaal lang niet ver genoeg. Hij schrok van de Franse pressie tot 'moderatie' en de weerklank die dat meteen kreeg bij verlichte regentenclubs. Fel trok hij van leer. Pieter Vreede werd zo de eerste radicale oppositieleider in een parlement in ons land. Zijn poëtisch vuur in debatten, zijn felle gedichten, manifesten en krantenstukken sloegen aan. Met zijn Republikeinen partij, vaak ‘Vreedianen’ genoemd, overrompelde hij de Moderaten in het parlement en hun gematigde grondwetontwerp. Een kiene campagne liet het voorstel sneuvelen in het eerste Nederlandse referendum. De politieke impasse die zo ontstond leidde tot een staatsgreep, gesteund vanuit Parijs, met behulp van corrupte betalingen. Vreede was in 1798 de sterke man van het Uitvoerend Bewind. Zijn vijanden noemden hem 'de Hollandse Robespierre' en zijn zuiveringen in het overheidsapparaat riepen die vileine analogie ook wel op. Alkemade vertelt vol adembenemende details over Vreedes daadkrachtige aanpak, waarin een beetje Lenin en een vleugje Mao school. Tot bloedvergieten kwam het overigens nooit. Hij slaagde erin een radicaaldemocratische Grondwet door te drukken, de Staatsregeling voor het Bataafse Volk. Ook agendeerde Vreede met hartstocht de afschaffing van de slavernij. De oude Republiek met zijn Zeven Provinciën en hun eeuwenoud particularisme werd afgeschaft, een sterk uniform bewind doorgevoerd (met voor het eerst een gelijkwaardige rol voor Brabant). De politieke discussies van deze jaren zijn dan ook sterk beïnvloed door die Amerika en voor het Europa van nu verrassend actueel. De radicale zuiveringen ontlokten fel verzet. Na een half jaar werd Vreedes bewind door een tegencoup afgezet. De Fransen drongen aan op 'amnestie' en niet te veel afrekeningen, ook om de corrupte rol van Parijse machthebbers zoveel toe te dekken. Vreedes macht was voorgoed voorbij. Alkemade laat zien hoe verrassend en diep de impact van zijn werk niettemin bleef. Na 1801 was de radicaliteit gesaneerd, regenten en hun netwerken en ook de Oranjes keerden terug. Maar het staatsbestel bleef fundamenteel Vreediaans. Ook Thorbecke bouwde er bewust op voort. Vreedes idealen van radicale democratie en afschaffing van slavernij kregen daarbij overigens geen kans. Met nota bene antirevolutionairen als Abraham Kuyper en linkse bewegingen als die van Domela Nieuwenhuis en Pieter Jelles Troelstra kwamen zulke ideeën pas weer op in de jaren 1880. En pas vanaf 1919 – met het algemeen vrouwenkiesrecht – Was Vreedes droom ten volle gerealiseerd. *** Verder lezen Dirk Alkemade - Radicale democratie.

Welcome to another insightful episode of Build a Better Agency! This week, host Drew McLellan is joined by Matt Davies and Pieter-Paul von Weiler, the strategist duo behind the Better Briefs Project, to tackle one of the most persistent and frustrating challenges agencies face: the elusive art of creating a truly effective brief. If you've ever struggled with unclear objectives, misaligned expectations, or wasted rounds of creative development, this episode is packed with data-driven answers and practical solutions. Drawing on global research from over 1,700 marketers and agency professionals across 70 countries, Matt and Pieter-Paul share eye-opening findings about the wide gap between what clients think they're delivering in a brief and what agencies are actually receiving. They break down the staggering disconnect—like the fact that 78% of marketers believe their briefs offer clear strategic direction, while only 5% of agencies agree—and explore the ripple effect this misalignment has on wasted budgets, morale, and creative outcomes. Drew leads a discussion on why so many briefs fall short, what really constitutes a great brief, and how both agencies and clients can step up to improve the process. You'll hear actionable advice on teaching clients the value of a well-crafted brief, initiating honest conversations before a live project starts, and creating custom templates that actually work for both sides. Plus, Matt and Pieter-Paul draw on their extensive agency experience to explain the difference between client briefs and creative briefs, and how agencies can strategically refine incoming briefs for stronger creative results.  Whether you're an agency owner, account executive, or creative lead, don't miss this episode if you're ready to reclaim lost time, reduce budget waste, and build stronger partnerships with your clients around the brief-writing process. By the end, you'll feel equipped to have more candid, constructive conversations and ensure every campaign starts with clarity and purpose.
