For the final episode in this series David talks to historian Ayse Zarakol about the prospects for democracy in the age of strongman politics, from Trump to Erdogan, from Orban to Modi.

In this episode, I break down the biggest misconception in the detailing industry: the difference between being good at the work and actually building a brand. Most shop owners think that doing exceptional paint corrections and flawless PPF installs automatically creates customer loyalty. They believe that if they just focus on being the best technician, everything else will fall into place. But here's the reality: exceptional work is just the baseline. It's the minimum requirement to stay in business. What actually creates a brand is the relationship you build with customers between transactions. I walk through what happens in most detail shops, why customers forget about you after 14 months even when they loved your work, and the economics of customer acquisition versus retention. If you've ever felt like you're on a hamster wheel constantly replacing customers who drift away, this episode will show you exactly why that's happening and what you need to do differently. The math is simple: maintaining relationships with existing customers is the highest leverage activity in your business, but most shop owners never do it because it doesn't feel productive in the moment.Chapters:00:04 - Understanding Brand Building vs. Customer Retention03:31 - Building Relationships Beyond Transactions06:31 - Maintaining Customer Relationships09:46 - The Importance of Customer Relationships12:40 - The Importance of Maintaining Customer Relationships17:16 - Building Real Relationships for Sustainable GrowthTakeaways: Most detailing shop owners mistakenly believe that exceptional work alone establishes a brand identity when in fact it does not. A brand transcends logos and aesthetics; it encompasses the emotional relationship clients have with your business. Building a lasting brand necessitates nurturing relationships with customers beyond the immediate transaction of service. The economics of retaining existing customers is significantly more favorable than acquiring new ones, underscoring the importance of relationship maintenance. branding for detailers, customer retention strategies, building a brand in detailing, detail shop marketing, customer acquisition costs, emotional connection in business, maintaining customer relationships, repeat business tips, transaction vs relationship business, detail shop success, brand loyalty in detailing, effective communication with clients, marketing for auto detailers, customer experience in detailing, importance of follow-up, growing a detail business, referrals in detailing, customer engagement strategies, relationship building in business, sustainable growth for detailers

David talks to political theorist Alan Finlayson about what's gone wrong with political speech and how it can be improved. Why do so many contemporary political arguments feel so sterile? What can we learn from the ancient art of rhetoric about how to do democratic politics better? Does the problem lie with the politicians or with the tools of communication at their disposal? And is good political speech something that all citizens should aspire to?

In today's episode David talks to political historian David Klemperer about whether voting should be required by law and what might change if non-participation was no longer an option. Why have some countries made voting compulsory? What difference has it made? Can the people who think democracy has got nothing to offer them be made to think otherwise? Can the politicians who normally ignore the wishes of those people be forced to pay more attention?

In today's episode David talks to Alan Renwick from UCL's Constitution Unit about the pros and cons of referendums. When does a democratic question need to be put direct to the people? Do some countries do it better than others? How can referendums be used to open up political debate? And how can we avoid a rerun of the pitfalls of the Brexit referendum?

Here's the hard truth: most detailers think they're selling swirl-free paint, ceramic coatings, and 10-stage wash processes. But your customers? They don't care about any of that. They're buying a feeling — pride when their car turns heads, relief when their family van doesn't smell like yesterday's drive-thru, confidence when they roll up to a meeting in a spotless ride.In this week's Off the Clock Show, Shawn Gervais and Marshall Hill dig into the language gap that's quietly killing sales in the detailing industry. Detailers obsess over technical jargon; customers just want you to solve their problems in plain English. It's not about “paint correction,” it's about “making my car look new again.” It's not about “PPF,” it's about “keeping rock chips off my hood.”The guys unpack why bridging that gap matters more than any shiny piece of equipment, why redefining your service descriptions could instantly boost conversions, and how community engagement becomes 10x stronger when you stop talking like a technician and start talking like a neighbor.They also touch on pricing, friction, and why adaptability is the real differentiator in 2025. The big takeaway? If you keep talking like a detailer, you'll keep getting detailer-sized results. Translate your value into your customer's language, and you'll finally get paid like a business owner.

David talks to Claudia Chwalisz, founder and CEO of Democracy Next, about how citizens' assemblies could help fix what's wrong with democracy. Where does the idea of a jury of citizens chosen at random to answer political questions come from? What are the kinds of contemporary questions it could help to settle? How does it work? And what would encourage politicians to listen to citizens' assemblies rather than to their electorates?

For the first episode in a new series about the ideas that could help democracy work better David talks to David Klemperer of the Constitution Society about proportional representation. How did nineteenth-century advocates of PR think it could improve democratic representation? Why did PR get adopted in some places but not in others during the twentieth century? What are the advantages of proportional systems? And when will we get serious electoral reform in the UK?

Rusko – země neomezených možností, kterou na začátku 90. let zmítal chaos. „Doba byla neuvěřitelně divoká. Tam každý den někoho zavraždili,“ vzpomíná na podnikatelské začátky PPF v Rusku Kellnerův blízký spolupracovník Petr Chajda, pro místní obchodní partnery Piotr Jaroslavovič. PPF sázela na dokonalé mimikry – splynout a nevyčnívat. Asociace fondů Petra Velikého postupně díky privatizaci nashromáždila podíly v desítkách tamních firem. Jenže blahobyt netrvá nikdy věčně...
„Věřím, že byli i zaměstnanci PPF, který nevěřili, že Petr Kellner existuje. Že to je takový Cimrman,“ směje se manažer a někdejší blízký Kellnerův spolupracovník Evžen Hart. Petr Kellner byl k vystupování na veřejnosti rezervovaný, rozhovory odmítal, nikde se příliš neukazoval. A to přesto, že se postupně stal významným mediálním magnátem, který dokonce dvakrát ovládl televizi Nova. První převzetí přitom Kellnerův nejbližší spolupracovník Petr Dvořák označuje za nepřátelské…
Bylo 29. března 2021 ráno a svět šokovala zpráva, že nejbohatší Čech Petr Kellner zahynul při pádu vrtulníku v aljašských horách. Zatímco Kellnerův nejlepší přítel Ivo Nesrovnal odletěl na Aljašku identifikovat jeho tělo, PPF musela rychle vyřešit, kdo se postaví do jejího vedení. „Aby nic nespadlo pod stůl. Aby nám banky nezesplatnily úvěry. Protože takřka stoprocentní vlastník zmizel,“ říká Kellnerův nástupce v čele PPF Ladislav Bartoníček. Co po Kellnerovi v PPF zůstalo?

Today's episode is the first in a three-part conversation with philosopher and writer Lea Ypi about the idea of dignity and its role in the history of ideas and in the story of our lives. What is the difference between dignity and dignitas? How does our conception of dignity shape the ways that we think about death? And why is Kant so important for showing what the idea of dignity is capable of? Out tomorrow on PPF+: Part 2 of this conversation, in which David and Lea explore the role of dignity in human rights and in identity politics and ask how much it matters that our politics has become so undignified.

Today's epic political trial is the one that should have been the end of Adolf Hitler but ended up being the making of him: his treason trial in 1924 for the so-called Beer Hall Putsch. How close did Hitler's attempted coup come to succeeding? Why was he allowed to turn the court that tried him into a platform for his poisonous politics? What were the missed opportunities to silence him once and for all? Out now on PPF+: Part 2 of David's conversation with Fintan O'Toole about the Easter Rising trials of 1916 – here they explore the treason trial of Sir Roger Casement and the question of what makes a traitor.

Today it's the first of two episodes with journalist and historian Fintan O'Toole about the trials that followed the 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland. What did the leaders of the rising hope to achieve, with or without German help? How and why did the British get it so wrong by court martialling the supposed ring leaders in secret? Were those trials anything more than kangaroo courts? And why are fourteen martyrs more potent than thousands of victims?

Today's episode in Politics on Trial is about the most famous trial in literature and one that never actually takes place. David talks to writer and literary scholar Ian Ellison about Franz Kafka's The Trial, first published in 1925. What is the meaning of a book about a legal process that never happens? How was it inspired by Kafka's failed love life? Why has it given rise to so many different understandings of what makes our world Kafkaesque? And how did a work of fiction that is full of weird and wonderful ideas get associated with mindless bureaucracy?

Today in Politics on Trial David tells the tale of the Dreyfus Affair that split France down the middle at the turn of the last century and revealed the grip of a whole host of conspiracy theories. Across a series of courts martial, libel trials, treason trials and parliamentary commissions, the story of a letter found in a wastebin turned into a saga about who really controlled the country. Was it the Jews? The Jesuits? The Freemasons? The army? The Germans? Or nobody at all? Why did Alfred Dreyfus find himself at the centre of it all? And what does all this madness tell us about the paranoid state of American politics today?

Today's episode in Politics on Trial is about three trials that took place over two months in the late spring of 1895 that brought about the destruction of Oscar Wilde. Why did Wilde trigger his own doom by suing his nemesis Lord Queensbury for libel? What did he fail to understand about how he would come across in a courtroom? And how did the persecution of Wilde and his gay lifestyle reveal the hidden terrors of late Victorian England and its high society, up to and including the prime minister? Out now on PPF+: Part 2 of David's latest conversation with Robert Saunders in which they talk about the past, present and future of the politics of unemployment. Can Labour ever again be the party of labour? Whose work is it anyway?

Today's episode is the first in a new strand with the historian Robert Saunders looking at significant political anniversaries and their meaning for today. Summer 2025 is 70 years since the UK recorded its lowest ever unemployment rate in peacetime: just 1% (or 215,800 people) in July 1955. David and Robert explore the history of unemployment: how it's been measured, what it means, why it matters and when it changes the course of political history. From Victorian trade unionism to the Thatcher revolution: who gets to decide on the value of work? Out now on PPF+: Part 2 of this conversation taking the story from the 1980s to the present, via New Labour, the financial crisis of 2008 and Covid. How has the meaning of work changed over that period? How has it got mixed up with the politics of immigration? And is the Labour Party still the party of labour?

For today's epic political trial, David talks to American historian and PPF regular Gary Gerstle about the treason trial of Aaron Burr in 1807. Why was Burr not put on trial for killing Alexander Hamilton in a duel? Was Burr really planning to invade Mexico or was it a set-up? Why was President Thomas Jefferson so determined to bring Burr down? Why was Supreme Court Chief Justice Thomas Marshall so determined to prevent that from happening? And why did being acquitted of treason still end Burr's career once and for all?
