While walking through Dublin city, journalist Quentin Fottrell was scammed.A pleasant sounding, nicely dressed man stopped him and started chatting. Didn't Quentin remember him? After all, the man said, he had worked on his house some years ago. Not wanting to be rude and a little embarrassed at forgetting a face, Quentin continued the chat which slowly turned to the fact that the man had forgotten his wallet and needed some help to get home. It was only when he had walked away, €40 lighter, that Quentin realised he had been scammed.He wrote about the experience in The Irish Times and his article elicited multiple replies from men who had also been scammed by the same man in Dublin city centre.Donal Cronin was one such reader. Although he is a communications expert and deeply knowledgable in the psychology behind persuasion, he too fell victim to the smooth-talking scammer. He took a photograph of the man while they were chatting and Quentin was able to confirm it was the same confidence trickster.This episode was first published in January 2025Quentin and Donal came into studio to explain how the scam worked and how they feel now having being duped.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

MarketWatch personal finance managing editor Quentin Fottrell talks to deputy personal finance editor Leslie Albrecht about why some economists and investors say this summer is proof of the power of the ‘trillion-dollar female economy.

Since we're just getting started with Dear Billionaire podcast, let's look at the common terminology we'll be using, and share some assumptions about whom we're talking to, so we're all on the same page. If this is you, then this is YOUR podcast!• You have multiple homes• You have Full-time staff• You Hired, or are you ready to hire a full-time house or estate manager• Or maybe You're intrigued with the lifestyles of the rich and famous and want to gain insight into the dynamics of how their lives are managed.Whether you're an esteemed billionaire or someone who aspires to be one, we're talking to you. Today you'll learn how to take care of the people who take care of you and your family.Results?• Better service• Avoid high staff turnover• Lower your risk I'm guessing that you're listening because:• Your stress is greater than your pleasure of owning these properties• Mechanical issues have become costly due to proper maintenance• Your property value starts to decline due to aged mechanical systems It's time to set yourself up for success to attract skilled staff and retain them. Before we do that, let's clarify some terms:• Homeowners are the same as principals• Homes are the same as estates• Estate manager refers to a luxury home and lifestyle manager, not a financial portfolio manager – although both are correct• Private service professionals – the definition we'll use here refers to anyone who works as an employee at your home, in other words, not a contractor or vendor. They are referred to as Service Providers. Why does all of this matter? As your wealth and real estate portfolio grow, so does your risk of:• Lawsuits• Security and privacy breaches• Theft Your household staff is one of the riskiest endeavors you'll undertake. So how do you lower risk, find the right employee, and retain them? That's why we're here… The great resignation is alive and well in private service. Barron's Quentin Fottrell of MarketWatch, says that people have returned to work after the covid shutdown but are looking for happiness, stability, flexibility, and a good salary. There's been a significant shift in the work culture and the demand for personal well-being is peaking. You'll want to finding the right staff and then retain them.Here's why:• Minimize costs associated with a high turnover – your time and recruiters' fees to screen, background investigate, trial employment, onboarding, and training.• It's takes months or years to build a trusted household team.• New people in your home are one of the highest personal risk to your safety and security.• Long-term, trusted staff who feel valued, heard, well-paid, and appreciated want to provide the best service, and reduce risk and minimize lawsuits.• Eliminates Bad press - Google celebrities who were sued by their housekeeping staff.What makes staff leave?Burnout, per Philipp Smith, Managing Director of Silver Swan Recruitment (they service the Middle East, UK, and US domestic staffing markets). Burnout typically occurs 12 to 18 months into the new employment term. Do you contribute to burnout - knowing or unknowingly?Primary culprits are:• Vague job descriptions• Job creep• Hybrid roles• Long hours• 24/7 service expectations• Unrealistic service requests• Staff who doesn't feel valued (did you lay off during covid?)More subtle causes of burnout that you might not be aware of:• Buying alcohol or prescription meds for an addict• Hide things or lie to a spouse• Lack of control of personal time off• You aren't organized enough to turn over information to someone else• No household management system• Too much conflict between staff (or between principals)• No staff training = not valued• Recognition Are you a Good Employer? Let's test that. Do you:• Communicate with them regularly? Weekly or more?• Express appreciation? How often?• Compensation (look at hourly wage + housing costs + expectations)• Do they feel secure in their job?• Guess-pectations. Do they have to guess at what pleases you?• Do you give clear directives and deadlines?• Do you expect 24/7 service and responses from only one person? If you're any of these missing key aspects, here's how to remedy them:• Use a time-tracking app• Review staff regularly• Ask them what they need from you to be successful• Pay them hourly with overtime compensation• Follow state and federal employment guidelines for rest and lunch breaks• Provide a break room area, or somewhere they can have private conversations, as well as a personal locker• Get a house management system so they can work autonomously• Develop a 12-month maintenance calendar program• Provide adequate funding to manage your expectations, purchases, and proactive maintenance.• Refine job descriptions – no vague language• Eliminate hybrid roles. Remember, they aren't paid parents. They excel in specific areas, and to be successful at those, they need to focus.Remember, The Dear Billionaire Podcast was created to create win/win relationships between private service professionals and employers.

In this week’s episode, Dr. Venus goes in on what it means to love Black Men who wear the wounds of White Supremacy, Slavery, Bigotry, and Racism like emotional armor. She sets the historical and emotional context between White Supremacy and Black Masculinity, and why understanding the dance between these two can help Black Men and Women relate and care for one another. Dr. Venus then discusses how Black Women can hold space for Black Men in a way that is protective, supportive, and real.   Key Takeaways:  [3:39] Dr. Venus opens the show with a reading of her poem, “Please”, which explores what it means to love a Black Man that wears the wounds of history like armor. [6:15] There is a historical wound in Black Men that is rooted in the history of White Supremacy, from 1619 to 2020. This shapes how they relate and react to Black Women and the people that love them.  [7:01] In the plantation household with Chattel slavery, there were four players: Master (White Man), Mistress (White Woman), Maid (Black Woman), and Slave (Black Man). That institution was rooted in survival, and because the White Slave Owners were outnumbered, there was always this unspoken fear of an uprising. This made White people even more vicious, which is something we are seeing today in this time of growth and upheaval. [8:26] White Supremacy is an ideology and power dynamic to try and keep Black people in a lower social position so that white people can feel superior and alive. Black masculinity is the biggest threat to White Supremacy. [10:18] Black Men look for their self worth and identity in Providing, Protecting, and Procreating. Their sense of self is centered outside of their own sense of self, looking to the world around them, including their wife or partner. Falling short in these categories can mean he feels like a failure, instead of looking at the faulty structure in the institution. [18:59] When a Black Woman feels like she is not heard, she may get loud or need to have the last word. The more she speaks up, the more he feels like she is talking down. Black Women have historically been unheard and taken care of. This can look like a betrayal and set off a feeling of being triggered over past and ingrained trauma. [25:08] White Supremacy has impacted Black Men in a way that is different from Black Women. The most violated, abused and tormented in human history is the Black Male body. [26:50] Instead of quickly reacting or becoming angry, we can empathize that Black Men have not had the time and space for much self-reflection.  We can create a safe space for Black Men to tell the truth without judgment or condemnation, request, or demand.  [29:42] We have a gender bias against Black Men, expecting them to take care of us when they have never been taught. If we provide a safe space, they can learn and begin to heal.    Quotes: “White people need a slave to know themselves as a Master.” “Black Men have historical wounds that are so rooted in White Supremacy that it’s invisible for them because it looks like it’s a character trait.” “I’m going to set aside my pain to take care of your wounds.” “You have to love somebody enough to grow with them when they are wounded.” “Until you take on you, he won’t have any space to heal him.” “It will be the healed Black Woman that transforms the world.”   Mentioned:  Dr. Venus Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram  “Hot Mess Millionaire” Amazon Series  Free Gift When You Join The Truth Tribe The Black Woman Millionaire Hot Mess Edition  Join the conversation!

Read today’s show notes on https://www.evnewsdaily.com   Well good morning, good afternoon and good evening, wherever you are in the world, hello and welcome to the Sunday 12th August edition of EV News Daily. It’s Martyn Lee here with the news you need to know about electric cars and the move towards sustainable transport.   Patreon First Fantastic Fifty! I'm going to put a page up online with a special thanks. So who will be next. I'm lucky to be adding Patrons every day, whether it's a dollar or $5 or £10, the next fifty supporters will get us to the Hot 100.   FORMULA E SAY 'NO WAY' TO ELECTRIC FORMULA 1 SERIES Jalopnik: "Ross Brawn said recently F1 could go all-electric within 10 years. But Formula E would like F1 to step off, because it apparently can’t try that until 2039." "I think Formula 1 will evolve in the direction that has the right balance of sport, relevance, and engagement with the fans," stated Brawn in a video on F1 Fan Voice. "If in five years' time or ten years' time there is a need, desire, or wish to have a different type of power unit in Formula 1, then we will do it. There is nothing to stop us having electric Formula 1 cars in the future." Here’s what Agag said, from Autosport: “So the earliest Formula 1 could go electric is 2039, if we don’t renew our agreement with the FIA then, but I don’t see any reason why we shouldn’t renew for longer. If they want to talk to me then of course that’s a different question - I’m always open to talk to people. But without talking to me there is no way they can do anything fully electric.” The Drive: "There is no reason Formula 1 cannot take full advantage of rapidly-maturing electric propulsion technology and showy, traditional internal combustion to attain the better attributes of each style of powertrain."   http://www.thedrive.com/accelerator/22792/formula-1-open-to-going-electric-but-formula-e-would-protest   NISSAN SOLD OVER 4,000 LEAFS IN EUROPE IN JULY "Sales of the Nissan LEAF in Europe increased in July to over 4,000 copies, which is the second best monthly result ever, after the 6,503 sold in March." according to InsideEVs: "European consumers really like the new LEAF, as sales in Europe are higher than sales of the LEAF in Japan, U.S. and Canada combined (3,607). Similar situation was noted in June. Preliminary data suggests that in July Nissan sold no less than 7,631 LEAFs worldwide (probably more after including smaller markets)."   https://insideevs.com/nissan-sold-over-4000-leafs-europe-july/   TESLA'S COMPETITORS: THE BIG TSUNAMI OF EV MODELS TO COME UNTIL 2022 DriveMag: "- Jaguar I-Pace is set up to be a direct alternative for Tesla's Model X and will begin selling towards the end of 2018, with prices starting at 10% less than the Model X" "- Audi e-Tron Sportback is an SUV that also attacks Tesla's Model X. It will be revealed in production guise at the end of 2018 and start selling in 2019" "- Porsche Taycan is directly targeting the Model S and will come to the market in late 2019. It's probably the most important competitor Tesla will have for its flagship in the next three years." "- BMW i4 sedan will join the Germans' electric lineup in 2020, and will be based on a completely different platform than the current BMW EVs, also targeting the Model 3. This platform will spawn other EVs at a pace after 2020." "- Mercedes-Benz EQC. Expected to launch in 2019, it has everything Daimler could bring as technology to mark its serious entry in the EV segment." "- Mercedes-Benz EQA will be launched somewhere in 2020, up against the Model 3" "- Polestar 2 EV will make its appearance at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show and should reach the showrooms in late 2019 at a price starting around $40,000" "But can Tesla first ramp up its production to at least 1,000,000 units by 2022 and then to 2,000,000 by 2025? Difficult to say. It certainly declared it wants to reach 500,000 units per year at its Shanghai factory by 2022. "   IT TURNS OUT TESLAS ARE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEAL Every stolen Tesla since 2011 has been recovered — all except 3. Quentin Fottrell for the New York Post says: "Tesla’s remote software updates have aimed to keep pace with its increasingly prolific production line. It’s no mean feat to get a stolen Tesla across state lines or even spirit it out of the country" especially if you try to stop at a Supercharger, that would give away your location immediately. “The actual ability to get into a Tesla would be somewhat difficult as you’d have to hack your way in,” says Matt DeLorenzo, senior managing editor for Kelley Blue Book. “Most of the top 10 stolen vehicles in the US tend to be mass-market models. They’re primarily stolen for body parts and airbags, and anything thieves can sell to service shops.”   https://nypost.com/2018/08/10/it-turns-out-teslas-are-nearly-impossible-to-steal/   FARADAY FUTURE FF 91 VIRTUAL TOUR Digital trends: "Faraday wants to remind everyone of what they’ve been waiting for. So it launched a “3D Tour” feature on its website that lets customers take a virtual walk around the FF 91." "The FF 91 sports a massive 130-kilowatt-hour battery pack, and at the car’s CES 2017 unveiling, Faraday said the pack would provide 378 miles of range on a charge. The powertrain consists of three electric motors producing a combined 1,050 horsepower."   https://3d.ff.com/us/   AUDI DENVER WANT YOUR e-tron PREORDERS "Meet the new Audi e-tron®, the first-ever purely electric Audi vehicle that will change the way you take on everyday drives around Colorado and beyond. You can reserve a new Audi e-tron® starting this September at our Audi dealership near Denver, CO, so contact Audi Denver now to learn more about the Audi e-tron® release date, price and more!"   https://www.audidenver.com/pre-order-a-new-audi-e-tron--near-denver-.htm   TESLA RECRUITS BRITISH DESIGNER FROM VOLVO John McIlroy for AutoExpress: "Tesla has secured the services of the young British designer behind the radical looks of the Volvo XC40, Auto Express can reveal." "Auto Express understands that Kettle started work as a senior designer with Tesla a few weeks ago - part of a team which ultimately reports into the American company’s design director, former Mazda man Franz Von Holzhausen. The move is a bold one for both parties; Tesla is likely to be hard at work on the next generation of its Model S (introduced back in 2012), as well as the smaller, more affordable model that the company’s boss Elon Musk has promised to deliver within the next five years.   GEELY INVESTIGATING £1.5 BILLION INVESTMENT INTO LOTUS "Giant Chinese automotive conglomerate Geely is considering a £1.5 billion cash injection into Lotus, according to a report by financial broadcaster Bloomberg. It comes after Geely took a majority stakeholding in Lotus last September, adding it to a growing number of automotive brands under the Chinese manufacturing giant’s umbrella." according to Jordan Katsianis, www.evo.co.uk: "Geely has plenty of experience in reinvigorating established European brands, being sole owners Volvo and its impressive rise from a niche quasi-premium brand to one that can easily be mentioned in the same breath as Mercedes, BMW and Audi."   You can listen to all previous 208 episodes of this podcast on iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, YouTube, TuneIn, Stitcher, and the blog https://www.evnewsdaily.com/ – remember to subscribe, which means you don’t have to think about downloading the show each day, plus you get it first and free and automatically.
