Adam Pringle hosts Mark, Jon and Kyle to talk through a thoroughly disappointing defeat at Anfield after a bright start. They discuss Is Eddie Howe right that his side were hard done by in losing 4 1? Is this another case of NUFC being undone for simply being away from home against any 'half decent' side - or is this a much bigger issue for the side this season considering Liverpool's very poor form going into this More rotation from the manager as the tough away games keep coming - did it work despite the result? Where does another PL defeat leave NUFC at the start of February? Please consider supporting us on Patreon - www.patreon.com/tfpodcast Learn more about your ad choices.

Sei es in Kreuzberg, bei Reisen Reisen oder mit eurer Smartphone-Kamera - manchmal entstehen die besten neuen Wege genau dort, wo man sie nicht geplant hat. Zum Beispiel haben wir einen neuen Podcast-Feed. Mit noch mehr Reise-Inhalten, frischen Formaten und einer Foto-Masterclass mit einem ausgezeichneten Profi-Foto-Künstler. Noch mehr Raum für Ideen, für Begegnungen und kleine Reisen im Kopf also. Und dann ist da dieser Gedanke an den Samstag - unser Lieblingstag. Berlin fühlt sich samstags anders an. Die Stadt ist wach, aber nicht hektisch, offen, aber nicht laut, und irgendwo zwischen Frühstückstisch, Kiezspaziergang und spätem Abend entsteht dieses besondere Gefühl von Freiheit. Der Tag beginnt in Kreuzberg, zwischen Altbaufenstern, Kaffeeduft und einem Kiez, der sich seit Jahrzehnten immer wieder neu erfindet. Man läuft, bleibt hängen, isst Tacos, sitzt am Wasser und merkt, dass Berlin seine Magie oft genau dort entfaltet, wo man nichts erzwingen will. Später geht es nach Mitte, in Orte, die zeigen, wie gut deutsche Küche 2026 sein kann und wie entspannt ein Abend wird, wenn man einfach den Rest passieren lässt.Diese Folge ist eine Einladung, Neues auszuprobieren und Bekanntes neu zu sehen - im Reisen-Reisen-Kosmos ebenso wie in dieser Stadt.Wenn ihr Lust habt, lasst euch treiben und kommt mit auf diese Weekender-Episode.---Unseren neuen Podcast-Feed “UNTER FREUNDEN” findet ihr überall, wo es Podcasts gibt.Unsere Werbepartner findet ihr hier.Kommt zu einer unserer LIVE-Shows:24.2.2026 Hamburg26.2.2026 München11.4.2026 Mannheim (SWR Podcastfestival)Tickets gibt es HIER.Foto-Credit: Thomas Rabsch (Instagram)Mehr Reisen Reisen gibt es hier.Noch mehr Reisen Reisen gibt es in unserem Newsletter-Magazin.---Le BonEin Frühstücksklassiker im Graefekiez mit entspannter Atmosphäre, viel Holz, Licht und Berliner Gelassenheit.

Christian Polanco and Christine Cupo kick things off by tiering the Champions League field, separating the favorites from the contenders, dark horses, and pretenders. Who's built to go the distance, which clubs are being overrated, and who could surprise Europe this season?Next, the guys react to Anthony Gordon's recent comments throwing shade at the Premier League. Has the league's dominance made it predictable and boring, or is this just another case of fans confusing quality with excitement? Christian and Christine debate whether the “best league in the world” label still holds up.Finally, the conversation turns to the USWNT as Emma Hayes officially ushers in a new era. With a clear vision, fresh energy, and evolving tactics, the guys ask whether this team could reach an even higher level of dominance than previous generations.Timestamps:(4:30) – Recapping Champions League Matchday 8 excitement(9:00) – Listing Champions League Pretenders(19:30) – Champions League contenders(28:30) – Champions League favorites(31:00) - Reacting to Anthony Gordon's comments on PL's lost excitement(43:30) - Emma Hayes ushering in USWNT's new era?

Confira os destaques de Os Pingos nos Is desta quinta-feira (29):O PL passou a trabalhar para atrair o governador de Minas Gerais, Romeu Zema, para uma eventual chapa com o senador Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) em 2026. Segundo Valdemar Costa Neto, a composição poderia fortalecer a união da direita no primeiro turno. O presidente do PSD, Gilberto Kassab, afirmou que Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos) precisa ser grato a Jair Bolsonaro, mas sem abrir mão de identidade política própria. A fala gerou debate sobre lealdade e autonomia na direita para 2026. Após visitar Jair Bolsonaro na Papuda, o governador Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos) defendeu a prisão domiciliar do ex-presidente, citando idade e condições de saúde. Ele também reafirmou apoio a Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) e disse que seguirá focado na reeleição em São Paulo. Preso pelo assassinato da corretora Daiane Alves dos Santos, o síndico Kleber Rosa afirmou que o filho não participou do crime. A polícia, porém, investiga se houve tentativa de obstrução das investigações e ocultação do corpo. O Tesouro Nacional estima que a dívida pública federal pode alcançar até R$ 10,3 trilhões até o fim do ano. O avanço do endividamento reacende o debate sobre responsabilidade fiscal e pressiona a política econômica. A morte do cão Orelha, em Florianópolis, reacendeu o debate sobre a redução da maioridade penal. Enquanto os adolescentes suspeitos respondem pelo ECA, familiares podem enfrentar penas mais duras por tentativa de interferência no crime. São Paulo registrou queda de 3,1% nos homicídios pelo terceiro ano seguido, segundo a Secretaria de Segurança Pública. Apesar do recuo, feminicídios e crimes violentos seguem preocupando autoridades e a população. O atrito entre Carlos Bolsonaro e o governador Jorginho Mello embaralhou o cenário político em Santa Catarina. Partidos de centro articulam uma aliança para isolar o PL na disputa estadual. O ministro Dias Toffoli retirou o sigilo dos depoimentos de Daniel Vorcaro, do Banco Master, e de ex-dirigentes do BRB e do Banco Central. As oitivas revelam versões divergentes sobre créditos de R$ 12,6 bilhões investigados no caso. Você confere essas e outras notícias em Os Pingos nos Is.
Confira os destaques de Os Pingos nos Is desta quarta-feira (28):Apesar da tentativa do governo de se afastar do caso, a pressão pela CPI do Banco Master ganhou apoio de parlamentares da base e da oposição. O movimento no Congresso indica consenso para investigar o escândalo em meio ao avanço na coleta de assinaturas. A ministra Gleisi Hoffmann (PT) intensificou a pressão para que Fernando Haddad dispute as eleições em São Paulo em 2026. O ministro da Fazenda resiste à candidatura e avalia deixar o cargo para atuar apenas na coordenação da campanha do PT. Após a mudança para o PSD, o governador de Goiás, Ronaldo Caiado, participou do primeiro evento representando a sigla em São Paulo. No encontro, ele confirmou ter conversado com Flávio Bolsonaro sobre o cenário eleitoral de 2026. O presidente do PL, Valdemar Costa Neto, defendeu a união da centro-direita e da direita já no primeiro turno das eleições presidenciais para enfrentar Lula. Segundo ele, a estratégia mais viável é concentrar apoio em Flávio Bolsonaro desde o início da disputa. O Comitê de Política Monetária (COPOM) decidiu manter a taxa Selic em 15% ao ano, maior patamar em quase duas décadas. Apesar disso, o Copom sinalizou a possibilidade de iniciar cortes a partir da próxima reunião, diante da expectativa de controle da inflação. Durante o Fórum Econômico Internacional da América Latina, no Panamá, o presidente Lula (PT) criticou o que chamou de “intervenções militares ilegais” na região. Sem citar nomes, o discurso foi interpretado como um recado direto aos Estados Unidos, em meio às tensões geopolíticas no continente. O governo estuda enviar ao Congresso um projeto único para unificar propostas sobre o fim da escala 6x1. Comentaristas alertam para riscos de desemprego, aumento da informalidade e impacto negativo na economia, enquanto defendem um debate baseado em dados. Após ser criticado por integrantes da própria direita, o deputado Nikolas Ferreira (PL-MG) minimizou as cobranças e afirmou que se trata de uma “parcelinha” do campo político. O parlamentar também reiterou apoio a Flávio Bolsonaro em 2026. A morte do cachorro Orelha, atribuída a adolescentes, gerou forte comoção e levantou questionamentos sobre responsabilização penal no Brasil. O caso reacendeu o debate após a Suécia anunciar planos para reduzir a maioridade penal em crimes graves. Você confere essas e outras notícias em Os Pingos nos Is.
Jodi Scott is the CEO and co‑founder of Green Goo by Spry Life, a plant‑based first aid company that started the way a lot of real businesses do: out of necessity, frustration, and a kitchen that slowly turned into a production facility. What began with homemade remedies and mason jars eventually grew into a nationally distributed brand, but not without detours, hard lessons, and a few moments where the easy path would have cost the company its soul. Jodi's story is not a clean, linear founder arc. She built Green Goo from the ground up, sold the company, and then made the rare and uncomfortable decision to buy it back. That experience reshaped how she thinks about success, control, and what it actually means to build something that lasts. She's lived both sides of the exit fantasy and is candid about what people don't talk about once the deal closes: identity loss, cultural drift, and the realization that money doesn't automatically equal alignment. At her core, Jodi is deeply skeptical of performative purpose. She believes mission‑driven branding only works when the mission shows up in operations, hiring decisions, ingredient sourcing, and the way leadership behaves when no one's watching. Her opinions about marketing are sharp, practical, and often uncomfortable for founders who want growth without accountability. In her view, attention is easy to buy; trust is not. Green Goo reflects that philosophy. The brand is farm‑based, plant‑forward, and built around first aid products that do what they claim without relying on synthetic shortcuts. But Jodi is quick to point out that values alone don't move product. Execution does. Systems do. Saying no does. She's spent years learning how to scale a values‑led business without turning it into a hollow lifestyle brand or a corporate costume. Family plays a real role in the story, not as a sanitized origin myth, but as a source of both tension and strength. Jodi credits a "functional dysfunction" for sharpening her instincts, forcing hard conversations, and teaching her how to lead without pretending conflict doesn't exist. Those lessons show up in how she builds culture and how she handles growth moments that pressure companies to compromise. Today, Jodi spends her time running Green Goo, advising other founders, and pushing back on the idea that bigger is always better. She's an advocate for intentional growth, honest leadership, and businesses that can look themselves in the mirror after scaling. Fueled by kombucha, pure cocoa, and a stubborn commitment to doing things the hard but right way, Jodi Scott represents a version of entrepreneurship that's less about hype and more about durability.

Fakt oder Fake? Die russische Propaganda rund um den Abschuss des Flugs MH17. Und: Für immer mehr Menschen ist das Pflegeheim ihr letztes Zuhause – das Personal ist gefordert und dringend gesucht: die 24-Stunden-Reportage. Das letzte Zuhause: 24 Stunden im Pflegeheim Für viele Menschen ist das Pflegeheim ihr letztes Zuhause. Der Bedarf an Plätzen steigt in den nächsten Jahren enorm – insbesondere für Menschen mit Demenz. Die «Rundschau» filmte 24 Stunden lang im Alterszentrum in Wattenwil BE. Die Reportage zeigt, wie gefordert die Pflegenden sind, und gibt Einblick in die Perspektiven der Bewohnenden und Angehörigen. Ein Alltag zwischen Hektik und Langsamkeit, Selbstbestimmung und Verzweiflung. Denn die meisten Menschen wohnen nicht freiwillig im Heim. SRF-Themenwoche «Fakt oder Fake?»: Russlands Propaganda Vor fast 12 Jahren wurde über der Ostukraine ein Passagierflugzeug von prorussischen Kräften abgeschossen. Flug MH17 war auf dem Weg von Amsterdam nach Kuala Lumpur. Alle 298 Menschen an Bord starben. Russland weist bis heute jegliche Verantwortung dafür zurück – und russische Medien haben nach dem Absturz jahrelang Desinformation verbreitet. Die «Rundschau» trifft eine Journalistin, die Teil der Propagandamaschine war, spricht mit dem Vater eines Opfers und dem Gründer des Recherchenetzwerks Bellingcat, das massgeblich zur Aufklärung des Falles beigetragen hat.

In this episode of the Hot Options Report, Mark Longo breaks down a wild Tuesday in the options pits where the "usual suspects" shared the stage with some massive earnings-driven volatility. While the broader market volume was steady, individual names like Micron (MU) and UnitedHealth (UNH) stole the spotlight with explosive moves and unusual paper. The Countdown Highlights: The Nvidia Standard: Even on a "light" day, Nvidia (NVDA) holds the #1 spot with 1.46 million contracts. We look at the $190 calls as traders bet on a return to the mid-session highs. UNH's Earnings Crater: The healthcare giant plummeted nearly 20% following a disappointing outlook. We dive into the massive open interest on the $600 calls—expiring in 2027—and ask: is this a bold recovery play or a massive hedge? Micron is "On Fire": Closing up another 5.4%, Micron's $420 calls are fetching nearly $10.00. How much gas is left in this AI-fueled tank? Tesla Tumbles (in Volume): In a rare twist, Tesla gets kicked to the #4 spot with volume levels roughly half of its daily average. Mark analyzes why the $440 calls are seeing "light" action. Deep Dive into the Tape: From Coreweave (CORW) continuing its repeat rally to Apple (AAPL) seeing rare meaty put action, we track the flow that actually impacts your P&L.

Confira os destaques de Os Pingos nos Is desta segunda-feira (26):O deputado federal Nikolas Ferreira (PL-MG) e aliados encerraram neste domingo a Caminhada pela Liberdade com um ato que reuniu milhares de pessoas em Brasília. O deputado afirmou que o movimento nasceu de uma indignação pessoal e teve como objetivo despertar os brasileiros para temas políticos e institucionais. O deputado federal Nikolas Ferreira afirmou que integrantes da esquerda comemoraram o raio que atingiu participantes da Caminhada pela Liberdade, em Brasília. O parlamentar classificou o episódio como um retrato do ódio político e destacou que foi um milagre ninguém ter morrido.Integrantes do PT e do governo avaliam que a caminhada organizada por Nikolas Ferreira pode ter sido o início informal da campanha de Flávio Bolsonaro à Presidência em 2026. Diante da mobilização da direita, o governo já discute medidas para reagir e recuperar a atenção da opinião pública.O presidente do STF, Edson Fachin, defendeu a criação de um código de conduta para ministros e afirmou que a Corte precisa se autolimitar para evitar interferência externa. Fachin reconheceu resistência interna e disse que parte dos ministros prefere adiar o debate por ser ano eleitoral.Levantamento com dados do Ministério da Justiça mostra que oito dos dez estados com mais mortes violentas em 2025 são governados por políticos alinhados à esquerda ou centro-esquerda. O cenário reforça o debate sobre segurança pública e os diferentes resultados entre governos de esquerda e direita. A cidade de São Paulo registrou mais de 150 mil roubos e furtos de celulares no último ano, o equivalente a 17 aparelhos por hora. Mesmo com programas de rastreamento, apenas cerca de 10 mil celulares foram devolvidos aos donos, reforçando a sensação de insegurança na capital. O governo informou que o presidente Lula (PT) conversou por telefone com Donald Trump e acertou um encontro em Washington nos próximos meses. A ligação tratou da situação na Venezuela e ocorreu após Lula criticar publicamente a ação militar dos Estados Unidos no país vizinho, levantando questionamentos sobre a mudança de tom do Planalto. Dados do Portal da Transparência mostram que o governo Lula (PT) já gastou R$ 7 bilhões com viagens em três anos de mandato. A média de despesas supera a registrada nas gestões de Jair Bolsonaro e Michel Temer, com destaque para gastos dos ministérios da Justiça, Defesa, Educação e Meio Ambiente. Após divergências internas no PL em Santa Catarina, Jair Bolsonaro pediu que o governador Jorginho Mello organize a direita e resolva a disputa pela vaga ao Senado. A pré-candidatura de Carlos Bolsonaro tem gerado atritos com a deputada Carol de Toni, e o ex-presidente também solicitou a interferência de Valdemar Costa Neto.

I was exposed to business numbers long before I ever owned a business. Profit & Loss statements, sales trends, inventory, expenses, just to name a few. These were normal conversations in my world growing up. And when I became a small business owner, that knowledge became my secret weapon. But as I started meeting other small business owners, I realized something big: they WANTED to understand their numbers… they just didn't know where to start. Today, I share my journey with the P&L and why it quickly became my #1 tool for growing a profitable business. The truth is, small business P&Ls aren't that different from big business P&Ls and small businesses have far more in common than you'd ever imagine. No matter what size your business is, your Profit & Loss statement is the key to understanding your money, increasing your profits, and making smarter decisions. Let's make the P&L your new superpower. ----------------------------- DIVE IN DEEPER & LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR NUMBERS
It's time we retire the debate over whether or not AI can improve outcomes in business. New data out of PWC from over 4,000 global CEOs indicates that for one-third of the market, the financial returns are real. However, while the headlines are quick to celebrate the winners, they are burying the hard reality that the majority of companies are stalled and some are actively paying an "innovation tax" with nothing to show for it.This week, I'm framing my conversation around two key charts from the 2026 PwC Global CEO Survey. What's hidden in them is a reality check on the cognitive dissonance happening in the C-Suite. I'm exposing an uncomfortable mirror test facing leadership and the survival strategy for the teams reporting to them. I'll explain why the high confidence in culture and tech is often a mask for a lack of execution and highlight why the pressure is about to boil over.My goal is to strip away the optimism to expose the critical gaps hidden in the data and why they are fatal for your ROI: The "Dead Zone" Reality (Stalled vs. Bleeding): It's not just that companies aren't winning; 13% are seeing costs rise with no revenue growth. I break down why you might be paying a tax on innovation rather than investing in it, and why staring at the P&L won't fix the leak. The C-suite Mirror Test (Vibes vs. Velocity): 69% of leaders believe their culture is ready, yet only 29% can access their own data. I explain why you cannot "mindset" your way to ROI and why confusing sentiment with strategy is a trap. Escaping the Trap (Lead vs. Lag Measures): The winners aren't overemphasizing the lag measures “Cost" and "Revenue.” I discuss why chasing the scoreboard leads to bad decisions (like the Grok crisis) and how to pivot to the operational metrics that actually remove friction. The Direct Report's Survival Guide: Your boss sees the winners and expects results. I provide the specific defense strategy for functional leaders to turn "we're working on it" into a data-backed case for better resources before the heat turns up. By the end, I hope you see this not as a critique of your readiness, but as a call to operational rigor. You cannot build a future-focused organization on "vibes," and you cannot join the winning 33% without doing the unsexy work of fixing the roadmap.⸻If this conversation helps you think more clearly about the future we're building, make sure to like, share, and subscribe.

On today's episode of The Transfer Flow, Patrick and Ted break down the final week of the January transfer window and the stories shaping the run-in. We start with Spurs' move for Andy Robertson and whether a 31-year-old fullback on a long contract makes sense for a team still searching for stability. Then we turn to the market's biggest forward as Arsenal and Barcelona chase Julián Álvarez, asking if he's worth a nine-figure fee and if he's the striker Arsenal need. From there we unpack Manchester United's win over Arsenal, looking at Arteta's tactical choices, slow restarts, and growing physical strain, plus how United's press and long-range shooting swung a title race that suddenly feels tighter. We then move to Aston Villa under Unai Emery, questioning whether their long-range goal spree is a genuine tactical edge or a hot streak, what it means for expected goals, and how the modern striker role is evolving as more teams build attacks around creating space for midfield shooters.

Confira os destaques de Os Pingos nos Is desta sexta-feira (23):Deputados do PT protocolaram um pedido à Polícia Rodoviária Federal para interromper a caminhada organizada por Nikolas Ferreira (PL-MG), alegando risco à segurança viária. A PRF notificou o gabinete do deputado e exigiu medidas de segurança, mas informou que seguirá monitorando o ato. O escândalo envolvendo o Banco Master ganhou um novo capítulo após manifestantes protestarem em frente à sede da instituição, em São Paulo, e cobrarem que o banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro faça uma delação premiada. O caso pode expor políticos e autoridades, após Vorcaro relatar à Polícia Federal contatos com o governador do Distrito Federal, Ibaneis Rocha, durante tratativas sobre a venda do banco ao BRB. O governador de São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos-SP), afirmou que não renunciará ao cargo e declarou apoio à candidatura de Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) à Presidência. Tarcísio reforçou lealdade a Jair Bolsonaro (PL) e disse que seguirá o nome indicado pelo ex-presidente, em meio a tensões internas na direita. A oposição no Distrito Federal anunciou o protocolo de um pedido de impeachment contra o governador Ibaneis Rocha (MDB) após ele ser citado no caso Banco Master. O requerimento foi apresentado por PSOL, Cidadania e PSB, com base em depoimento de Daniel Vorcaro à Polícia Federal.A disputa pelas duas vagas ao Senado em São Paulo segue indefinida tanto na esquerda quanto na direita. O PT estuda uma chapa com nomes ligados ao governo Lula (PT), enquanto o PL enfrenta disputas internas envolvendo aliados de Jair Bolsonaro. A oposição pretende mudar a estratégia para as eleições de 2026 e reduzir o foco na pauta de costumes, priorizando o debate sobre segurança pública — área considerada um ponto fraco do governo Lula (PT). Levantamento mostra queda nas propostas sobre aborto e avanço de projetos ligados ao combate ao crime, indicando uma guinada no discurso da direita para desgastar o presidente junto ao eleitorado.

Vielleicht kennst du das: Du hattest mal Pläne. Träume. Vorsätze. Und irgendwann hast du aufgehört, sie ernst zu nehmen. Nicht, weil sie dir egal sind – sondern weil du müde geworden bist, dich selbst zu enttäuschen. Du sagst Sätze wie: „Gerade ist einfach nicht die richtige Zeit.“ „Mit meinem Körper / meinem Alter / meinen Hormonen geht das halt nicht mehr.“ „Eigentlich ist mein Leben doch okay.“ In dieser Folge spreche ich über die Angst vor Enttäuschung, die sich oft als Vernunft tarnt – und dich davon abhält, für dich loszugehen. Wir schauen darauf, warum dein Gehirn dich schützen will. Warum Aufgeben sich manchmal nach Selbstliebe anfühlt. Und warum dein Körper nicht das Problem ist.

Beatrice Egli isst zuerst die Waffeln – dann spricht sie über Tourpläne, das Matterhorn, Kritik, die an ihr abprallt und ihren Po formt, Durchhalten trotz letzter Plätze und warum sie Energie am liebsten offline auftankt. Sie reagiert gewohnt charmant auf die Frage, wie es mit Florian Silbereisen läuft. Dazu: Reisen mit XXL-Koffern, geniale Pack-Hacks, Aftershowpartys ohne sie, flüstern als Erotikfaktor und ganz viel Herz, Haltung und Humor. Viel Spaß mit der neuen Folge von "Mit den Waffeln einer Frau".
In dieser Episode von selbst&frei teilt Alvaro Gellings, Mitgründer von Day One, erstmals die ungeschminkte Wahrheit über den Aufbau einer der am schnellsten wachsenden Sportmarken Deutschlands. Von null auf 100.000 verkaufte Produkte in nur 15 Monaten – mit einer Launch-Kampagne, die über eine Milliarde organische Views im deutschsprachigen Raum generiert hat. Alvaro erklärt, wie er gemeinsam mit Extremsportler Arda Saatçi Day One gegründet hat, ohne jemals ein klassisches Pitch-Deck zu erstellen. Er spricht offen über die Realität hinter den Kulissen: Zwei Jahre Vorbereitung, hunderte Iterationsstufen bei der Produktentwicklung, und eine Marketingkampagne, die 3000 Kilometer durch Amerika und quer durch Japan führte – alles dokumentiert, geklippt und viral verbreitet durch tausende Videos auf Social Media. Besonders wertvoll: Seine ehrliche Reflexion über den Unterschied zwischen Creator Economy und klassischem E-Commerce. Während andere Brands langsam hochskalieren können, musste Day One vom ersten Tag an perfekt sein – weil Millionen zuschauen. Alvaro erklärt, warum Qualitätsmanagement der Schlüssel ist, wenn man mit Creatorn launcht, und wie sie trotz kleinem Team siebenstellige Umsätze im ersten Monat erreicht haben. Er teilt die genauen Zahlen: sechsstellige Kundenanzahl, durchschnittliche Warenkörbe von 100-120 Euro, und wie sie es geschafft haben, bereits im ersten Jahr unabhängig von Ardas Reichweite zu wachsen. Die wichtigste Strategie: Paid Media, Out-of-Home-Campaigns, weitere Athleten – und das klare Ziel, dass Ardas Anteil am Gesamtumsatz relativ immer kleiner wird, während die absolute Zahl weiter wächst. Besonders eindrucksvoll: Seine persönliche Journey vom Kellner und Kickboxtrainer über Trinkspiel-Entwicklung während des Studiums bis zum erfolgreichen Exit und schließlich Day One. Alvaro spricht offen über seine frühe Zeit – sehr früh aus dem Elternhaus ausgezogen, mit Schüler-BAföG durchs Abi gekommen, und wie er durch Studentenpartys, Abercrombie & Fitch-Modeling und die ersten unternehmerischen Versuche die Social Ladder hochgestiegen ist. Er erklärt, warum er seine erste Firma für einen siebenstelligen Betrag an einen Inkubator verkauft hat – und warum er trotz 20.000-50.000 Euro Monatsgehalt in der Immobilienbranche den Sprung ins Vollzeit-Unternehmertum gewagt hat. Die wichtigste Erkenntnis: "Einfach machen" – egal ob Trinkspiele, Fashion oder Sportmarke. Jedes Projekt lehrt dich Produktentwicklung, Performance Marketing, Supply Chain – und diese Skills sind übertragbar. Ein radikales Plädoyer für You vs. You, authentisches Storytelling und die Kunst, eine Brand zu bauen, die nicht von einem Creator abhängt, sondern von echter Mission und kompromissloser Qualität.

No 3 em 1 desta quinta-feira (22), o destaque foi o lançamento oficial do Conselho da Paz pelo presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, durante o Fórum Econômico Mundial, em Davos. O republicano afirmou que o grupo será mais rápido, ágil e menos burocrático, em uma crítica indireta à atuação da ONU, e destacou que será o único integrante do Conselho com poder de veto. Reportagem de Eliseu Caetano. Ainda em Davos, o presidente da Ucrânia, Volodymyr Zelensky, confirmou a realização de um encontro diplomático entre representantes da Rússia, da Ucrânia e dos Estados Unidos. O líder ucraniano afirmou que a guerra está próxima do fim e, ao contextualizar com a crise na Venezuela, declarou: “Maduro será julgado, Putin não”. Reportagem de Luca Bassani. A revista The Economist publicou uma imagem que faz alusão aos presidentes Donald Trump e Vladimir Putin, abordando a temática da anexação de territórios. A montagem relaciona os contextos envolvendo a Groenlândia e a Ucrânia, levantando discussões sobre ambições territoriais e posturas diplomáticas das duas potências no cenário internacional. Na área econômica, o vice-presidente e ministro Geraldo Alckmin (PSB) afirmou que os recentes percalços no acordo entre Mercosul e União Europeia serão superados. Segundo ele, o Congresso Nacional deve acelerar a tramitação do tratado para garantir a implementação das novas diretrizes comerciais. Reportagem de Janaína Camelo. Com exclusividade à Jovem Pan, o presidente nacional do PL, Valdemar Costa Neto, negou qualquer tensão entre a família Bolsonaro e o governador de São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos). Valdemar classificou os rumores de racha como “fofoca” e reforçou que o governador segue integrado ao grupo político do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL). Nos bastidores, Tarcísio de Freitas teria sido aconselhado a manter distância dos atos e da caminhada liderada pelo deputado Nikolas Ferreira (PL) até Brasília. A orientação busca evitar que a participação seja interpretada como uma afronta ao Judiciário, o que poderia comprometer negociações envolvendo medidas como a prisão domiciliar de Jair Bolsonaro. No governo federal, diversos ministros devem deixar seus cargos nos próximos meses para disputar as eleições de 2026. A ministra das Relações Institucionais, Gleisi Hoffmann, confirmou a pré-candidatura ao Senado pelo estado do Paraná. Reportagem de André Anelli. O Supremo Tribunal Federal analisa a possibilidade de devolver à primeira instância o processo que envolve o Banco Master. A movimentação ocorre após episódios de desgaste institucional relacionados à tramitação do caso na Suprema Corte. Reportagem de Janaína Camelo. Na área fiscal, a Receita Federal informou que a arrecadação fechou 2025 em R$ 2,88 trilhões, o maior valor registrado em 31 anos. O resultado representa um crescimento real de 3,65% em relação ao ano anterior. Tudo isso e muito mais você acompanha no 3 em 1. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode, host Don Adeesha joins Colin Carr, founder and CEO of CARR, to audit the second-largest expense on a practice's P&L: real estate. Colin challenges the assumption that rent is a fixed cost, arguing that a lease is actually a flexible financial instrument capable of funding renovations and boosting valuation. He exposes the hidden costs of the standard dual-agency model, explaining why unrepresented tenants frequently lose $200,000 to $400,000 by failing to understand landlord psychology and the "fear of loss" negotiation tactic. Colin breaks down the hidden opportunities in lease renewals, debunking the myth that loyal tenants aren't entitled to new concessions. He details how to reset escalating lease rates to market value and leverage long-term commitments to secure significant Tenant Improvement (TI) allowances, effectively getting the landlord to fund your next build-out. He also advises on the critical 12 to 18-month timeline required to maximize leverage, warning that starting too late forces owners into a position of weakness. Finally, Colin highlights the specific lease clauses that can instantly kill a private equity exit, specifically pointing to poorly written assignability rights. He contrasts old-school "gut feeling" site selection with modern patient heat-mapping data, allowing practices to identify "Blue Ocean" locations with high demand and low competition. He concludes by urging owners to stop treating real estate as a DIY project and to engage expert representation to protect their most valuable physical asset.
US-Präsident Donald Trump treibt den Aufbau eines internationalen Friedensrats voran, dessen Mandat weit über den Gazastreifen hinausreichen könnte. Das ursprünglich zur Stabilisierung Gazas entwickelte Konzept könnte sich nach Plänen der US-Regierung zu einem globalen Instrument der Konfliktlösung entwickeln.
Die Olympischen Winterspiele 2038 sollen in der Schweiz stattfinden. Aber: Die Schweiz will nicht. 2013, 2017 und 2018 sagten die Stimmberechtigten Nein zu Olympischen Winterspielen in ihren Kantonen. Wie will Swiss Olympic Präsidentin Ruth Metzler die Bevölkerung überzeugen? Olympische Winterspiele in der Schweiz – in rund zwölf Jahren könnten sie Realität werden. Der Verein «Switzerland 2038» hat dazu erste konkrete Pläne vorgelegt. Vorgesehen sind dezentrale Spiele in allen Landesteilen und Sprachregionen – ein Novum in der Geschichte der Olympischen Winterspiele. Ob die Schweiz den Zuschlag erhält, hängt vom politischen Willen und den Vorgaben des Internationalen Olympischen Komitees ab. Darüber spricht die ehemalige Bundesrätin und Justizministerin Ruth Metzler, seit einem Jahr Präsidentin von Swiss Olympic, bei David Karasek.

Tighe Burke is the founder of SRCH Partners, a boutique executive search firm that helps SaaS founders replace themselves as CEO without selling their companies. After years in large executive recruiting firms, Tighe built a practice focused on founders who want their business to keep growing while they step back from day-to-day leadership. Tighe works with profitable software companies typically in the $5M–$50M revenue range, helping founders hire experienced and scrappy operators who have already scaled businesses through the next phase. His team has completed more than 75 executive searches, often placing CEOs who take full P&L ownership while founders move into chairman, product, or portfolio roles. In this episode, we dig into when hiring a CEO makes sense, how compensation and incentives really work, and what founders must let go of for this transition to succeed. Tighe shares practical warning signs, real compensation structures, and why this "third door" can create more value and freedom than selling too early. Key Takeaways Founder Readiness Matters — This only works when founders clearly know what they want their life and role to become next. $5M+ Reality Check — Most companies need real profitability to afford a strong CEO with authority and incentives. Operators Are Different — The best CEOs have already scaled similar businesses and don't need to learn on your dime. Let Go Or Don't Hire — Founders who keep control undermine the hire and drive away the right operators. Comp Isn't Just Equity — Profit sharing, bonuses, and transaction payouts often work better than stock alone. Shadow Period Is Normal — The first few months require intentional transition, not instant disappearance by founders. Value Can Multiply — Hiring the right CEO can grow valuation faster than selling too early ever would. Quote from Tighe Burke, Founder of SRCH Partners "There are three doors as a founder entrepreneur. Door #1is keep running your business. Maybe you love your business. Door #2 is to exit the business and sell your company whenever you either get a good multiple, or the time is right, or a good buyer. " "Door #3 is where we come in. Hopefully, your business cash generating asset for you. There are a lot of founders who think of their business that way. Some particularly people who like start their own company, it's their baby, it defines who they are. That's great. But if for any reason you're feeling angst or like you think someone can get past 10 million when you've really struggled there, that's probably true. "Let's bring in somebody else, an operator, a big O operator to run the business, to own the P &L, to make strategic decisions, to hire, to fire, to do all the things that you probably don't really like anymore. "You don't have to sell the business. You can actually get a bigger multiple later on by having a strong management team in place if that is something you choose. And you get your life back. can be with your family. You can start another business. You can advise, invest, kind of do whatever you want."

In dieser Episode von selbst&frei teilt Leon Sandhowe, besser bekannt als Mr. Unreal, seine ungeschminkte Wahrheit über den Aufbau eines der erfolgreichsten Immobilien-Channels im deutschsprachigen Raum. Von null auf über 500.000 Abonnenten in nur drei Jahren – mit Videos, die regelmäßig mehr Aufrufe generieren als er Follower hat. Leon erklärt, wie er vom Steuerfachangestellten direkt in die Social-Media-Welt gesprungen ist, ohne Plan, aber mit absolutem Commitment. Er spricht offen über die Realität hinter den Kulissen: 120.000 bis 150.000 Kilometer im Jahr, 80 Städte, 100 Immobilien – und das alles mit einem kleinen Team, das mehr Familie als Firma ist. Besonders wertvoll: Seine ehrliche Reflexion über 2025 als das härteste Jahr. Während die ersten beiden Jahre alles viral ging, musste er sich dieses Jahr komplett neu erfinden. Run-Reels, POV-Videos, Vlogs – Leon testete fünf neue Formate, drei blieben hängen. Er erklärt, warum Abonnentenzahlen heute weniger wichtig sind als früher und wie er es schafft, pro Video durchschnittlich 500.000 bis 1 Million Aufrufe zu generieren. Seine Strategie: Nicht nur hochladen, sondern interessante Stories erzählen, die funktionieren – egal ob mit 75.000 Euro Kaufpreis oder Millionen-Immobilien. Leon spricht offen über sein Business-Modell: Von Honoraren pro Video über Provisionen bis hin zu sechsstelligen Deals, bei denen er heute noch Geld hinterherjagt. Die wichtigste Erkenntnis: "Probier dich aus, sei nicht zu schüchtern und vertrau auf dein Bauchgefühl." Leon erklärt, warum er jeden Morgen mit Bock aufsteht, obwohl er kaum Zeit für Familie hätte. Warum er sein erstes Fix & Flip-Projekt für unter 400.000 Euro verkaufen wird – und wie er durch Barter-Deals mit Küchen-Herstellern die Renovierungskosten auf 30.000 bis 40.000 Euro drückte. Er teilt seine härteste Lektion: "Umso mehr du mit der Lupe auf eine Person draufhältst, umso mehr verliert man den Heldenstatus." Deswegen hält er bewusst Distanz – aber genau das macht ihn authentisch. Ein radikales Plädoyer für Content, der Spaß macht, authentisch ist und einfach funktioniert – ohne Schablone, ohne Hokuspokus, nur mit Ausdauer und dem richtigen Riecher zur richtigen Zeit.

Simon is the VP of Product at Vimbly Group, a New York City based firm that scales and invests in tech enabled businesses where he has worked for over ten years. He currently runs Vimbly Group's e-commerce business unit, as well as having his hands involved in a number of Vimbly Group's eight other business units. Prior to the Vimbly Group, Simon was a healthcare investment banker at a boutique investment bank in New York City, where he focused on raising capital and mid-market mergers and acquisitions involving biotech, healthcare, technology and healthcare service companies. He has a bachelor's degree from Cornell University, and I met Simon at the Billion Dollar Seller Summit earlier this year. And Simon, I'm excited to welcome you to the podcast. Welcome.Simon 00:00:50 Thanks, Josh. Really appreciate that. Nice intro. Thanks for having me.Josh 00:00:55 As you look to acquire other brands, and I love that you kind of were an acquire or aggregator before the aggregator theme became pop became popular. So you're not on the the bandwagon there.Josh 00:01:08 You can be like, no, we were doing this long, a long time ago. You know, I think that that's really interesting, Simon. I think you've taken this approach that's actually a little bit different than I think the typical answer is, right, because I've listened to a bunch of other people that talk about acquiring businesses. And I'm looking at these specific numbers and, you know, I'm trying to draw conclusions and, you know, kind of look at 2020 and what happened during Covid and say, okay, this was an artificial bump and it's all very quantitative, right?Simon 00:01:38 All the quantitative stuff that you're talking about like looking historical, it's a given. Right. We always do that. We've always done it. And for the longest time, that's all we did. And, you know, one of our brands right now is going through a major shift in that it, for such a long time survived on three products. Basically, there's a whole, you know, there's more skews, but there's basically more Asians.Simon 00:02:02 But there's there's effectively three basins. One of those. basically a shell of itself now. And part of the reason why is because, you know, actually, if you'll divulge me for a second. So, pre-COVID and even through the first, you know, a couple years of Covid and depending on where you want to, you know, start and stop it, I guess. or, you know, where the beginning till now is, I guess. But first couple of years of it, it was doing incredibly well, right? It was something like anywhere between 25 and 35%, or it accounted for 25 to 35% of our gross margin. That gross margin, including everything from landed costs, three PL costs, FBA costs, advertising, marketing returns, all that stuff. Just not just not like overhead and, and software, things like that nature. But but gross profit. Right. And so it was a large part of our business. this one product and you know, during the beginning of Covid, I got my hands on a competitor, one of our biggest direct competitors.Simon 00:03:08 Their information memorandum, which is basically like their, this deck. it's like 50 pages of their business because they're trying to sell their business. Okay. And through like, you know, like, you know, my partner Sam, he has just a ton of connections in the entrepreneur space, a ton of connections with these brokers. And so we get a lot of deals right across a lot of different industries. and so we just happen to get our direct competitors information memorandum. Right. So this gave us everything about their business, right? We knew the numbers. We knew. we knew, who their suppliers were, right? What their strategy was, what their projections were like. You know, you name it, we knew it. And, I mean, we were like, we could look on helium ten and know that we were dominating. But then we saw the real numbers. We were, you know, we were dominant player in the market. and then all of a sudden, right, like during Covid, you start seeing freight costs go up.Simon 00:04:07 You start seeing, a lot of sellers into the space. The cocktail shaker space is kind of the space that we're playing in for one of our brands. and this is where the the set, you know, was established. and, you know, was this, you know, what's called roughly like 30% of the business. it had basically, started having rank weed, right? The ran...

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training How big do you actually want your agency to become? Does the idea of running a massive team sound exciting or completely exhausting? For many agency owners, scaling feels less like growth and more like trading freedom for complexity. Scaling an agency isn't about hustle. It's about surviving the moments that almost break you, building systems that actually work, and accepting that what got you here won't get you there. Today's featured guest understands that running a big agency is about structure and leadership. He's grown a global agency to 700 people without losing profitability, sanity, or culture and now he'll unpack the hard-earned lessons that most agency owners don't think about until it's too late. Nital Shah is the co-founder of Mavlers, a full-service, lifecycle digital agency headquartered in India, with operations supporting global brands and agencies across multiple geographies. Today, Nital leads a 700-person organization focused on marketing operations, delivery excellence, and scalable systems for agencies around the world. Having experienced both sides of the agency equation, client-side pressure and operational scale, Nital brings a grounded, operator-first perspective to growth, profitability, and leadership. In this episode, we'll discuss: An early principle: Profit should be intentional. Achieving operational excellence at scale. Structuring scale to make it manageable. Why alignment beats micromanagement.

Before the disruption, the agency was focused heavily on top-line revenue rather than predictable recurring income. When 40 percent of revenue disappeared almost overnight, the weakness in that model became painfully obvious. Luckily, the agency's consistent focus on profit from day one helped them overcome this ordeal. However, it changed Nital's perspective on retainers and helped him understand that, without retainers, any similar unexpected bump in the road could destroy the agency. The agency had enough cash flow to survive the shock and rebuild and the lesson was clear: at scale, a large team without consistent recurring revenue is fragile. Retainers aren't just about stability; they are about survival. The other advantage that helped soften the blow was diversification. By spreading clients across industries and geographies, the agency avoided being wiped out by a single market downturn. When one region slowed, others carried the load. That balance didn't eliminate pain, but it reduced risk in a way most agencies underestimate until they feel it firsthand. Profit Is Not an Afterthought One of the most important principles Nital and his co-founder agreed on early was: profit must be intentional. It's not something you hope shows up at the end of the year. It's something you design into the business. That mindset shapes everything from service selection to client qualification. The agency actively avoids hyper-competitive, race-to-the-bottom services and continually evolves its offerings as markets become saturated. When a service becomes unprofitable, they pivot. When a client isn't aligned or drains margin, they say no. Profit isn't just about owner income. It funds experimentation, innovation, and future growth. Without margin, you can't test new services, pivot when the market shifts, or invest in better systems. You just stay busy. And busy is often the enemy of profitable. Operational Excellence at Scale Running a 700-person agency isn't about heroics but about process. Nital is clear that consistent, documented, and enforced workflows are what reduce mistakes, rework, and delivery friction. The agency is structured into service-based business units, each with its own leadership and accountability. On top of that sits a customer success layer that ensures delivery stays aligned with expectations. Everyone is trained on defined protocols, and those protocols exist to protect quality, not bureaucracy. When processes are clear and followed, the probability of hitting client outcomes increases. That reduces rework, lowers internal stress, and improves margins. In a people-driven business, operational discipline is what turns chaos into leverage. Alignment Beats Micromanagement One of the hardest challenges for Nital's agency came after rapid post-COVID growth, when the team doubled in size and remote work became the norm. Processes broke, alignment slipped, and as a result, communication suffered. The turning point came with adopting the Scaling Up framework by Vern Harnish. This framework, aimed at businesses ready to scale in a more structured manner, forced clarity across four areas: people, strategy, execution, and cash. More importantly, it created alignment from leadership all the way down to individual contributors. Every team member understands how their work connects to departmental goals, quarterly priorities, and long-term vision. When people understand the why behind the process, ownership replaces micromanagement. Accountability becomes cultural, not enforced. Leadership, Tough Calls, and A-Players When it comes to mistakes in team alignment, Nital openly acknowledges that the team that gets you to one stage may not be the team that gets you to the next. That realization isn't easy, especially when loyalty and shared history are involved. But over the last two years Nital has embraced the fact that growth demands adaptability. The agency now prioritizes agility, learning speed, and ownership. When someone can't evolve with the business, they are given time, feedback, and support, but the standard doesn't change. You don't win championships by protecting weak links. You win by putting the best players on the field while still treating people with respect and empathy. It's not cold. It's responsible leadership. Structuring Scale So It's Manageable When Nital decided to go back to India and start an agency, his mentor back in Australia offered him the chance to run their offshore center. From there, he started supporting other agencies in several countries and expanded his team to where they are now. Seven hundred people sounds overwhelming until you understand the structure. Instead of one massive organization, the agency operates as multiple business units, each capped around 100 to 150 people and run as its own P&L. This turns an impossible leadership problem into a manageable one. Leaders focus on coaching their direct reports, not managing hundreds of individuals. Each layer carries responsibility downward, creating clarity instead of bottlenecks. As Nital points out, no founder manages 700 people directly. You manage your leadership team. And if that team is strong, aligned, and accountable, scale becomes less scary and far more sustainable. The Future: AI, Change, and Opportunity Despite the uncertainty surrounding AI and marketing technology, Nital is optimistic. The pace of change has leveled the playing field. Years of experience no longer guarantee an advantage. Everyone is adapting at the same time. For smaller agencies, this creates opportunity. They can adopt tools and workflows faster than large organizations. For larger agencies, the challenge is moving faster without breaking structure. Either way, the shift toward complex marketing technology orchestration opens doors for agencies willing to master it. For him, the future belongs to agencies that can adapt, systemize, and evolve without clinging to what used to work. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?
